39  Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, poropititia he he mo Koko, mea atu, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Nana, hei hoariri ahau mou, e Koko, e te tino rangatira o Roho, o Meheke, o Tupara;

A ka whakatahuritia koe e ahau, ka arahina atu koe, ka meinga hoki kia puta ake koe i nga pito rawa ki te raki, a ka kawea mai koe e ahau ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira.

Ka patua atu ano e ahau tau kopere i roto i tou maui, ka meinga hoki au pere kia marere i roto i tou matau.

Ka hinga koe ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, a koe, me ou ropu katoa, me nga iwi i a koe: ka hoatu koe e ahau hei kai ma nga manu kai kino o ia ahau, o ia ahau, ma nga kirehe ano o te parae.

Ka hinga koe ki te mata o te parae: naku hoki te kupu, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa,

Ka tukua atu ano e ahau he ahi ki a Makoko, ratou ko te hunga e noho humarie ana i nga motu, a ka mohio ratou ko Ihowa ahau.

A ka meinga e ahau toku ingoa tapu kia mohiotia i roto i taku iwi, i a Iharaira, e kore ano e tukua e ahau kia whakapokea toku ingoa tapu a muri ake nei: a ka mohio nga tauiwi ko Ihowa ahau, ko te Mea Tapu i roto i a Iharaira.

Nana, kua tae mai, kua oti, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa; ko te ra tenei i korerotia ra e ahau.

Ka puta ano nga tangata o nga pa o Iharaira, a ka tahuna e ratou, ka wera ano i a ratou nga patu, nga whakangungu rakau, nga puapua, nga kopere, nga pere, nga hani, nga tao; ko nga tau e tahuna ai aua mea e ratou, e whitu.

10 E kore hoki e maua e ratou he wahie i te parae, e kore ano e tapahia i nga ngahere; no te mea ka tahuna e ratou nga patu ki te ahi: ka pahuatia e ratou o ratou kaipahua, ka murua nga taonga o o ratou kaimuru, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

11 Na a taua ra ka hoatu e ahau ki a Koko he wahi tanumanga ki reira, ki a Iharaira, ko te raorao o nga tira haere i te taha ki te rawhiti o te moana; kutia iho ki reira nga ihu o nga tira haere: ka tanumia hoki ki reira a Koko ratou ko ana mano ti ni: a ka huaina a reira, Ko te raorao o Hamono Koko.

12 A e whitu nga marama o te whare o Iharaira e tanu ana i a ratou kia watea ai te whenua.

13 Ina, ka tanumia ratou e te iwi katoa o te whenua; a hei ingoa nui ki a ratou i te ra e whakakororiatia ai ahau, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

14 Ka wehea ano e ratou etahi tangata, he mea tuturu, hei haere i runga i te whenua, hei tanu i nga tira haere, i te hunga e toe ana i runga i te mata o te whenua, kia watea ai: i te mutunga o nga marama e whitu ka rapu ratou.

15 A ka haere nga tira haere, ka tika i te whenua; ka kite tetahi i te whenua tangata, ka whakaturia e ia he tohu ki tona taha, kia tanumia ra ano e nga kaitanu ki te raorao o Hamono Koko.

16 A ko Hamona hoki hei ingoa mo tetahi pa. Na ka watea te whenua.

17 Na ko koe, e te tama a te tangata, ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Mea atu ki nga manu o ia ahau, o ia ahua, ki nga kirehe katoa o te parae, Huihui mai, haere mai; whakamine mai koutou i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, ki taku patunga e patua nei e ahau ma koutou, he patunga nui ki runga ki nga maunga o Iharaira, kia kai kikokiko ai, kia inu toto ai koutou.

18 Ka kai koutou i nga kikokiko o te hunga marohirohi, ka inu i nga toto o nga rangatira o te whenua, o nga hipi toa, o nga reme, o nga koati, o nga puru, he mea momona katoa no Pahana.

19 A ka kai koutou i te ngako a makona noa, ka inu hoki i te toto a haurangi, noa, he mea no taku patunga e patua e ahau ma koutou.

20 Na ka makona koutou i nga hoiho o taku tepu, i nga hoiho hariata, i nga marohirohi, i nga tangata whawhai katoa, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

21 Ka whakaturia e ahau toku kororia ki roto ki nga tauiwi, a ka kite nga tauiwi katoa i taku whakawa e whakaritea e ahau, i toku ringa ano ka pa nei ki a ratou.

22 Na ka mohio te whare o Iharaira, ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i taua ra a ake ake.

23 Ka mohio ano nga tauiwi, he he no te whare o Iharaira i whakaraua ai ratou: he pokanga ketanga no ta ratou ki ahau i huna ai e ahau toku mata ki a ratou, heoi tukua ana ratou e ahau ki te ringa o o ratou hoariri: a hinga katoa ana i te hoari.

24 Ko taku i mea ai ki a ratou rite tonu ki to ratou poke, ki o ratou pokanga ketanga, a huna ana e ahau toku mata ki a ratou.

25 Mo reira ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa; Ka whakahokia mai e ahau aianei a Hakopa i te whakarau, ka aroha ahau ki te whare katoa o Iharaira; ka hae hoki ahau, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa tapu;

26 A ka whakawaha e ratou to ratou whakama, o ratou pokanga ketanga katoa hoki i poka ke ai ta ratou ki ahau, ina noho humarie ratou i to ratou whenua, a kahore he tangata hei whakawehi i a ratou;

27 Ina oti ratou te whakahoki mai e ahau i roto i nga iwi, ina kohikohia mai ratou i nga whenua o o ratou hoariri, a ka whakatapua ahau i runga i a ratou i te tirohanga a nga iwi maha.

28 Katahi ratou ka mohio ko Ihowa ahau, ko to ratou Atua, i mea nei kia whakaraua ratou ki roto ki nga tauiwi, i kohikohi ano i a ratou ki to ratou oneone; a kahore noa iho tetahi o ratou e mahua i ahau ki reira.

29 E kore ano e huna e ahau toku mata a muri ake nei ki a ratou: kua ringihia hoki e ahau toku wairua ki runga ki te whare o Iharaira, e ai ta te Ariki, ta Ihowa.

39 “Son of man, prophesy against Gog(A) and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[a] Meshek(B) and Tubal.(C) I will turn you around and drag you along. I will bring you from the far north(D) and send you against the mountains of Israel.(E) Then I will strike your bow(F) from your left hand and make your arrows(G) drop from your right hand. On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds(H) and to the wild animals.(I) You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord.(J) I will send fire(K) on Magog(L) and on those who live in safety in the coastlands,(M) and they will know(N) that I am the Lord.

“‘I will make known my holy name among my people Israel. I will no longer let my holy name be profaned,(O) and the nations will know(P) that I the Lord am the Holy One in Israel.(Q) It is coming! It will surely take place, declares the Sovereign Lord. This is the day(R) I have spoken of.

“‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows,(S) the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel.(T) 10 They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder(U) those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.(V)

11 “‘On that day I will give Gog a burial place in Israel, in the valley of those who travel east of the Sea. It will block the way of travelers, because Gog and all his hordes will be buried(W) there. So it will be called the Valley of Hamon Gog.[b](X)

12 “‘For seven months the Israelites will be burying them in order to cleanse the land.(Y) 13 All the people of the land will bury them, and the day I display my glory(Z) will be a memorable day for them, declares the Sovereign Lord. 14 People will be continually employed in cleansing the land. They will spread out across the land and, along with others, they will bury any bodies that are lying on the ground.

“‘After the seven months they will carry out a more detailed search. 15 As they go through the land, anyone who sees a human bone will leave a marker beside it until the gravediggers bury it in the Valley of Hamon Gog, 16 near a town called Hamonah.[c] And so they will cleanse the land.’

17 “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Call out to every kind of bird(AA) and all the wild animals: ‘Assemble and come together from all around to the sacrifice I am preparing for you, the great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel. There you will eat flesh and drink blood.(AB) 18 You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as if they were rams and lambs, goats and bulls—all of them fattened animals from Bashan.(AC) 19 At the sacrifice(AD) I am preparing for you, you will eat fat till you are glutted and drink blood till you are drunk. 20 At my table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, mighty men and soldiers of every kind,’ declares the Sovereign Lord.(AE)

21 “I will display my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see the punishment I inflict and the hand I lay on them.(AF) 22 From that day forward the people of Israel will know that I am the Lord their God. 23 And the nations will know that the people of Israel went into exile for their sin, because they were unfaithful to me. So I hid my face from them and handed them over to their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.(AG) 24 I dealt with them according to their uncleanness and their offenses, and I hid my face from them.(AH)

25 “Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now restore the fortunes of Jacob[d](AI) and will have compassion(AJ) on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous for my holy name.(AK) 26 They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed toward me when they lived in safety(AL) in their land with no one to make them afraid.(AM) 27 When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will be proved holy through them in the sight of many nations.(AN) 28 Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into exile among the nations, I will gather them(AO) to their own land, not leaving any behind.(AP) 29 I will no longer hide my face(AQ) from them, for I will pour out my Spirit(AR) on the people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AS)

39 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:

And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.

Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God.

And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the Lord.

So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:

10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.

11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God.

14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.

15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.

16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.

18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.

20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.

21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord their God from that day and forward.

23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.

24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.

25 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;

26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;

28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.

29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God.
