1Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ʻo pehē,
1And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2“Foha ʻoe tangata, fakahanga ho mata kia Koki, ʻae fonua ko Mekoki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻeiki lahi hake ʻia Meseke, pea mo Tupale, pea kikite kiate ia,
2Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal: and prophesy of him,
3Mo ke pehē, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; Vakai, ʻe Koki, ʻoku ou tuʻu au kiate koe, ʻa koe ko e ʻeiki lahi ʻi Meseke, pea mo Tupale;
3And say to him: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Mosoch and Thubal.
4Pea te u fakafoki koe ki mui, pea te u ʻai ʻae mātaʻu ki ho ngutu, pea te u fusi mai ʻa koe, mo hoʻo kau tau kotoa pē, ʻae fanga hoosi, mo e kau heka hoosi, ʻakinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku kofu fakaʻeiʻeiki, ʻio, ʻae fuʻu tokolahi ʻoku toʻo ʻae fakaū mo e pā, pea ʻoku nau taki taha toʻo mo e heletā ʻi honau nima;
4And I will turn thee about, and I will put a bit in thy jaws: and I will bring thee forth, and ail thy army, horses and horsemen all clothed with coats of mail, a great multitude, armed with spears and shields and swords.
5ʻA Peasia, mo ʻItiopea, mo Lipea, fakataha mo kinautolu; ʻoku ʻai kotoa pē ʻekinautolu ʻae pā, mo e tatā ki he tau:
5The Persians, Ethiopians, and Libyans with them, all with shields and helmets.
6ʻA Komela, pea mo ʻene ngaahi matatau; ʻae fale ʻo Tokama mei he feituʻu tokelau, mo ʻene faʻahitaʻu ʻaʻana; pea mo e kakai tokolahi kuo fakataha mo koe.
6Gomer, and all his bands, the house of Thogorma, the northern parts and all his strength, and many peoples with thee.
7Ke ke teuteu pe koe, pea ke teuteu pe maʻau, ʻa koe, mo e kakai kotoa pē kuo fakataha mai kiate koe, pea ke leʻohi ʻe koe kiate kinautolu.
7Prepare and make thyself ready, and all thy multitude that is assembled about thee, and be thou commander over them.
8¶ Hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho lahi ʻe fai ʻae ʻaʻahi kiate koe: te ke toe hoko mai ʻi he ngaahi taʻu fakamui, ki he fonua kuo fakamoʻui mai mei he heletā, pea ʻe tānaki koe mei he ngaahi kakai tokolahi, ki he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe lala ʻo fuoloa: ʻio, ʻe ʻomi ia mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea te nau nofo malu kotoa pē ʻakinautolu.
8After many days thou shalt be visited: at the end of years thou shalt come to the land that is returned from the sword, and is gathered out of many nations, to the mountains of Israel which have been continually waste: but it hath been brought forth out of the nations, and they shall all of them dwell securely in it.
9Te ke ʻalu hake, pea hoko mai ʻo hangē ko e taufa matangi, pea te ke hangē ko e ʻao ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua, ʻa koe, mo hoʻo ngaahi matatau, mo e kakai tokolahi ʻe fakataha mo koe.”
9And thou shalt go up and come like a storm, and like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands and many people with thee.
10ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua hoko foki ʻo pehē, “ʻI he kuonga pe ko ia, ʻe hū ʻae ngaahi meʻa ki ho loto, pea te ke fakakaukau ai ki ha ngāue kovi:
10Thus saith the Lord God: In that day projects shall enter into thy heart, and thou shalt conceive a mischievous design.
11Pea te ke lea ʻo pehē, Te u ʻalu hake ki he fonua ʻoe ngaahi kolo ʻoku ʻikai ʻāʻi; te u ʻalu kiate kinautolu ʻoku mālōlō, mo nofo fiemālie, ʻakinautolu ʻoku nofo, ʻoku ʻikai hanau ʻā, pe ha songo, pe ha matapā,
11And thou shalt say: I will go up to the land which is without a wall, I will come to them that are at rest, and dwell securely: all these dwell without a wall, they have no bars nor gates:
12Koeʻuhi ke u vete ia, mo maʻu ha koloa; ke ʻai hoku nima ki he ngaahi potu lala kuo fakakakai, pea mo e kakai ʻaia kuo tānaki mei he ngaahi puleʻanga, ʻakinautolu kuo maʻu ʻae fanga manu mo e koloa, pea ʻoku nau nofo ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe fonua.
12To take spoils, and lay hold on the prey, to lay thy hand upon them that had been wasted, and afterwards restored, and upon the people that is gathered together out of the nations, which hath begun to possess and to dwell in the midst of the earth.
13ʻE pehē mai kiate koe ʻe Sipa, mo Tetani, mo e kau fakatau ʻi Tasisi, mo e fanga laione mui kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, ‘Kuo ke haʻu koe ke fai ha vete? Kuo ke fakataha hoʻo kakai ke maʻu mālohi ha koloa? Ke fetuku mo ʻave ha siliva mo ha koula, ke ʻave ʻae fanga manu mo e koloa, pea ke ʻave mo e meʻa lahi ʻaupito?’”
13Saba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tharsis, and all the lions thereof shall say to thee: Art thou come to take spoils? behold, thou hast gathered thy multitude to take a prey, to take silver, and gold, and to carry away goods and substance, and to take rich spoils.
14Ko ia, foha ʻoe tangata, kikite, pea ke pehē kia Koki, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ʻe ʻikai te ke ʻilo ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻe nofo fiemālie ʻa hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli?
14Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy and say to Cog: Thus saith the Lord God: Shalt thou not know, in that day, when my people of Israel shall dwell securely?
15Pea te ke haʻu mei ho potu ʻi he feituʻu tokelau, ʻa koe, mo e kakai tokolahi ʻe fakataha mo koe, ko e kau heka hoosi kotoa pē ʻakinautolu, ko e fuʻu tokolahi ʻaupito, pea ko e kau tau mālohi:
15And then shalt come out of thy place from the northern parts, thou and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company and a mighty army.
16Pea te ke hoko hake ki hoku kakai ko ʻIsileli, ʻo hangē ko e ʻao ke ʻufiʻufi ʻae fonua; ʻe hoko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho fakamui, pea te u ʻomi koe ke tauʻi ʻa hoku fonua, koeʻuhi ke ʻiloʻi au ʻe he hiteni, ʻoka fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻe koe, ʻE Koki, ʻi honau ʻao.
16And thou shalt come upon my people of Israel like a cloud, to cover the earth. Thou shalt be in the latter days, and I will bring thee upon my land: that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; ko koe ia ʻaia naʻaku lea ki ai ʻi muʻa ʻi heʻeku kau tamaioʻeiki ko e kau palōfita ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻakinautolu naʻe kikite ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia ki ha ngaahi taʻu lahi, ʻo pehē, Te u ʻomi koe ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu.
17Thus saith the Lord God: Thou then art he, of whom I have spoken in the days of old, by my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in the days of those times that I would bring thee upon them.
18Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē foki ʻi he kuonga pe ko ia, ʻe haʻu ʻa Koki ki he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻe ʻalu hake foki ʻae houhau ʻi hoku fofonga.
18And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day of the coming of Gog upon the land of Israel, saith the Lord God, that my indignation shall come up in my wrath.
19He kuo u lea ʻi heʻeku fuaʻa, pea mo e kakaha ʻo hoku tuputāmaki, Ko e moʻoni ʻe ai ʻae ngalulu fakamanavahē ʻi he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ko ia;
19And I have spoken in my zeal, and in the fire of my anger, that in that day there shall be a great commotion upon the land of Israel:
20Ko ia ʻe tetetete ai ʻi hoku ʻao ʻae ngaahi ika ʻoe tahi, mo e fanga manupuna ʻoe langi, ʻae fanga manu ʻoe vao, mo e meʻa totolo kotoa pē, ʻoku ngaolo ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he funga ʻo māmani, pea ʻe holoki hifo ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻe holo mo e ngaahi potu lilifa, pea ʻe hinga ki lalo ki he kelekele ʻae ngaahi ʻā kotoa pē.
20So that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all men that are upon the face of the earth, shall be moved at my presence: and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the hedges shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21Pea te u ui mai ʻae heletā kiate ia, ʻi hoku ngaahi moʻunga kotoa pē, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua: ʻe tuʻu taki taha ʻae tangata mo ʻene heletā ke tauʻi ʻa hono tokoua.
21And I will call in the sword against him in all my mountains, saith the Lord God: every man’s sword shall be pointed against his brother.
22Pea te u fai mo ia ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha mo e lilingi toto; pea te u fakaʻauha kiate ia, mo ʻene ngaahi matatau, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻoku fakataha mo ia, ko e lovai fakamanavahē, mo e ʻuha maka lalahi, mo e afi, mo e sulifa.
22And I will judge him with pestilence, and with blood, and with violent rain, and vast hailstones: I will rain fire and brimstone upon him, and upon his army, and upon the many nations that are with him.
23ʻE pehē ʻa ʻeku fakaongoongoleleiʻi au ʻeau pe, mo hoku fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi; pea ʻe ʻiloʻi au ʻe he mata ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga lahi, pea te nau ʻilo ko Sihova au.”
23And I will be magnified, and I will be sanctified: and I will be known in the eyes of many nations: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
