ἀνθρώπου στήρισον τὸ πρόσωπόν σου ἐπὶ Γωγ καὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Μαγωγ ἄρχοντα Ρως Μοσοχ καὶ Θοβελ καὶ προφήτευσον ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν
Son of man, set your face against Gog and the land of Magog, the ruler of Rhos, Mesoch, and Thobel, and prophesy against him.
and say to him, Thus says the Lord Lord: Behold, I am against you, Gog, ruler of Rosh, Mosoch, and Thobel
συνάξω σε καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμίν σου ἵππους καὶ ἱππεῖς ἐνδεδυμένους θώρακας πάντας συναγωγὴ πολλή πέλται καὶ περικεφαλαῖαι καὶ μάχαιραι
And I will gather you and all your force, horses and horsemen clothed with breastplates, all a great assembly, shields and helmets and swords
Persians and Ethiopians and Libyans, all with helmets and shields
καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ αὐτόν οἶκος τοῦ Θεργαμα ἀπ᾿ ἐσχάτου βορρᾶ καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ αὐτόν καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετὰ σοῦ
Gomer and all those around him, the house of Togarmah, from the farthest north, and all those around him, and many nations with you
Be prepared; prepare yourself, you and all your assembly who are gathered with you, and you shall be to me for a guard.
ἡμερῶν πλειόνων ἑτοιμασθήσεται καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτου ἐτῶν ἐλεύσεται καὶ ἥξει εἰς τὴν γῆν τὴν ἀπεστραμμένην ἀπὸ μαχαίρας συνηγμένων ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν ἐπὶ γῆν Ισραηλ ἣ ἐγενήθη ἔρημος δι᾿ ὅλου καὶ οὗτος ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἐξελήλυθεν καὶ κατοικήσουσιν ἐπ᾿ εἰρήνης ἅπαντες
After many days he shall be prepared, and at the latter end of years he shall come and shall come into the land that has been turned back from the sword, gathered from many nations to the land of Israel, which became desolate for a long time; and this one has come out from the nations, and they shall all dwell in peace.
ἀναβήσῃ ὡς ὑετὸς καὶ ἥξεις ὡς νεφέλη κατακαλύψαι γῆν καὶ ἔσῃ σὺ καὶ πάντες οἱ περὶ σὲ καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετὰ σοῦ
And you shall come up like rain, and you shall come like a cloud to cover the land, and you shall be, you and all those around you, and many nations with you.
λέγει κύριος κύριος καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀναβήσεται ῥήματα ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν σου καὶ λογιῇ λογισμοὺς πονηροὺς
Thus says the Lord Lord: and it will be in that day that words will come up upon your heart, and you will devise evil plans
ἐρεῖς ἀναβήσομαι ἐπὶ γῆν ἀπερριμμένην ἥξω ἐπὶ ἡσυχάζοντας ἐν ἡσυχίᾳ καὶ οἰκοῦντας ἐπ᾿ εἰρήνης πάντας κατοικοῦντας γῆν ἐν ᾗ οὐχ ὑπάρχει τεῖχος οὐδὲ μοχλοί καὶ θύραι οὐκ εἰσὶν αὐτοῖς
And you shall say, I will go up against an unfortified land; I will come against those who dwell quietly, in quietness, and dwell in peace, all who inhabit a land in which there is no wall, nor bars, and there are no doors for them.
προνομὴν καὶ σκυλεῦσαι σκῦλα αὐτῶν τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι χεῖρά σου εἰς τὴν ἠρημωμένην ἣ κατῳκίσθη καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἔθνος συνηγμένον ἀπὸ ἐθνῶν πολλῶν πεποιηκότας κτήσεις κατοικοῦντας ἐπὶ τὸν ὀμφαλὸν τῆς γῆς
to plunder spoil and to despoil their spoils, to turn your hand against the desolated place that was inhabited, and against a nation gathered from many nations, making acquisitions, dwelling on the navel of the earth
καὶ Δαιδαν καὶ ἔμποροι Καρχηδόνιοι καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ κῶμαι αὐτῶν ἐροῦσίν σοι εἰς προνομὴν τοῦ προνομεῦσαι σὺ ἔρχῃ καὶ σκυλεῦσαι σκῦλα συνήγαγες συναγωγήν σου λαβεῖν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον ἀπενέγκασθαι κτῆσιν τοῦ σκυλεῦσαι σκῦλα
Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Carthage and all their villages will say to you, Have you come to take plunder? You have gathered your gathering to pillage and to carry off spoil, to take silver and gold, to carry away property, to pillage spoil.
τοῦτο προφήτευσον υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου καὶ εἰπὸν τῷ Γωγ τάδε λέγει κύριος οὐκ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν τῷ κατοικισθῆναι τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ ἐπ᾿ εἰρήνης ἐγερθήσῃ
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: Thus says the Lord: Will you not on that day, when my people Israel are settled in peace, be aroused?
ἥξεις ἐκ τοῦ τόπου σου ἀπ᾿ ἐσχάτου βορρᾶ καὶ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετὰ σοῦ ἀναβάται ἵππων πάντες συναγωγὴ μεγάλη καὶ δύναμις πολλή
And you shall come from your place from the farthest north, you and many nations with you, riders of horses, all of them a great assembly and a great force
ἀναβήσῃ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ ὡς νεφέλη καλύψαι γῆν ἐπ᾿ ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμερῶν ἔσται καὶ ἀνάξω σε ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν μου ἵνα γνῶσιν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ἐμὲ ἐν τῷ ἁγιασθῆναί με ἐν σοὶ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν
And you shall come up against my people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land; in the last days it shall be, and I will bring you up against my land, so that all the nations may know me, when I am sanctified in you before them.
λέγει κύριος κύριος τῷ Γωγ σὺ εἶ περὶ οὗ ἐλάλησα πρὸ ἡμερῶν τῶν ἔμπροσθεν διὰ χειρὸς τῶν δούλων μου προφητῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἔτεσιν τοῦ ἀγαγεῖν σε ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς
Thus says the Lord, the Lord, to Gog: You are the one concerning whom I spoke before in former days through the hand of my servants, the prophets of Israel, in those days and years, to bring you upon them.
ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἂν ἔλθῃ Γωγ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν τοῦ Ισραηλ λέγει κύριος κύριος ἀναβήσεται ὁ θυμός μου
And it shall be in that day, in the day in which Gog shall come upon the land of Israel, says the Lord, Lord, my wrath shall rise up
ὁ ζῆλός μου ἐν πυρὶ τῆς ὀργῆς μου ἐλάλησα εἰ μὴν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔσται σεισμὸς μέγας ἐπὶ γῆς Ισραηλ
And my zeal in the fire of my wrath I have spoken: surely on that day there shall be a great earthquake upon the land of Israel
σεισθήσονται ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου οἱ ἰχθύες τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ πεδίου καὶ πάντα τὰ ἑρπετὰ τὰ ἕρποντα ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς καὶ πάντες οἱ ἄνθρωποι οἱ ἐπὶ προσώπου τῆς γῆς καὶ ῥαγήσεται τὰ ὄρη καὶ πεσοῦνται αἱ φάραγγες καὶ πᾶν τεῖχος ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν πεσεῖται
And the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky and the beasts of the plain and all the creeping things that creep on the earth and all the men who are on the face of the earth shall be shaken from before the Lord, and the mountains shall be rent and the ravines shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
And I will summon against him every terror, says the Lord; the sword of a man shall be against his brother.
κρινῶ αὐτὸν θανάτῳ καὶ αἵματι καὶ ὑετῷ κατακλύζοντι καὶ λίθοις χαλάζης καὶ πῦρ καὶ θεῖον βρέξω ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπ᾿ ἔθνη πολλὰ μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ
And I will judge him with death and with blood and with an overwhelming rain and with hailstones, and I will rain fire and brimstone on him and on all who are with him and on many nations with him
μεγαλυνθήσομαι καὶ ἁγιασθήσομαι καὶ ἐνδοξασθήσομαι καὶ γνωσθήσομαι ἐναντίον ἐθνῶν πολλῶν καὶ γνώσονται ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι κύριος
And I will be magnified and I will be sanctified and I will be glorified and I will be known before many nations, and they will know that I am Lord
