¹ 여호와의 말씀이 내게 임하여 가라사대

² 인자야 너는 마곡 땅에 있는 곡, 곧 로스와 메섹과 두발 왕에게로 얼굴을 향하고 그를 쳐서 예언하여

³ 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 로스와 메섹과 두발 왕 곡아 내가 너를 대적하여

⁴ 너를 돌이켜 갈고리로 네 아가리를 꿰고 너와 말과 기병 곧 네 온 군대를 끌어내되 완전한 갑옷을 입고 큰 방패와 작은 방패를 가지며 칼을 잡은 큰 무리와

⁵ 그들과 함께 한바 방패와 투구를 갖춘 바사와 구스와 붓과

⁶ 고멜과 그 모든 떼와 극한 북방의 도갈마 족속과 그 모든 떼 곧 많은 백성의 무리를 너와 함께 끌어 내리라

⁷ 너는 스스로 예비하되 너와 네게 모인 무리들이 다 스스로 예비하고 너는 그들의 대장이 될지어다

⁸ 여러날 후 곧 말년에 네가 명령을 받고 그 땅 곧 오래 황무하였던 이스라엘 산에 이르리니 그 땅 백성은 칼을 벗어나서 열국에서부터 모여 들어 오며 이방에서부터 나와서 다 평안히 거하는 중이라

⁹ 네가 올라오되 너와 네 모든 떼와 너와 함께한 많은 백성이 광풍같이 이르고 구름 같이 땅을 덮으리라

¹⁰ 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 그 날에 네 마음에서 여러가지 생각이 나서 악한 꾀를 내어

¹¹ 말하기를 내가 평원의 고을들로 올라가리라 성벽도 없고 문이나 빗장이 없어도 염려없이 다 평안히 거하는 백성에게 나아가서

¹² 물건을 겁탈하며 노략하리라 하고 네 손을 들어서 황무하였다가 지금 사람이 거처하는 땅과 열국 중에서 모여서 짐승과 재물을 얻고 세상 중앙에 거하는 백성을 치고자 할 때에

¹³ 스바와 드단과 다시스의 상고와 그 부자들이 네게 이르기를 네가 탈취하러 왔느냐 ? 네가 네 무리를 모아 노략하고자 하느냐 ? 은과 금을 빼앗으며 짐승과 재물을 취하며 물건을 크게 약탈하여 가고자 하느냐 하리라 하셨다 하라

¹⁴ 인자야 너는 또 예언하여 곡에게 이르기를 주 여호와의 말씀에 내 백성 이스라엘이 평안히 거하는 날에 네가 어찌 그것을 알지 못하겠느냐 ?

¹⁵ 네가 네 고토 극한 북방에서 많은 백성 곧 다 말을 탄 큰 떼와 능한 군대와 함께 오되

¹⁶ 구름이 땅에 덮임 같이 내 백성 이스라엘을 치러 오리라 곡아 끝날에 내가 너를 이끌어다가 내 땅을 치게 하리니 이는 내가 너로 말미암아 이방 사람의 목전에서 내 거룩함을 나타내어 그들로 다 나를 알게 하려 함이니라

¹⁷ 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 옛적에 내 종 이스라엘 선지자들을 빙자하여 말한 사람이 네가 아니냐 ? 그들이 그 때에 여러 해 동안 예언하기를 내가 너를 이끌어다가 그들을 치게 하리라 하였느니라 하셨다 하라

¹⁸ 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 그날에 곡이 이스라엘 땅을 치러 오면 내 노가 내 얼굴에 나타나리라

¹⁹ 내가 투기와 맹렬한 노로 말하였거니와 그 날에 큰 지진이 이스라엘 땅에 일어나서

²⁰ 바다의 고기들과 공중의 새들과 들의 짐승들과 땅에 기는 모든 벌레와 지면에 있는 모든 사람이 내 앞에서 떨 것이며 모든 산이 무너지며 절벽이 떨어지며 모든 성벽이 땅에 무너지리라

²¹ 나 주 여호와가 말하노라 내가 내 모든 산 중에서 그를 칠 칼을 부르리니 각 사람의 칼이 그 형제를 칠 것이며

²² 내가 또 온역과 피로 그를 국문하며 쏟아지는 폭우와 큰 우박덩이와 불과 유황으로 그와 그 모든 떼와 그 함께한 많은 백성에게 비를 내리듯 하리라

²³ 이와 같이 내가 여러 나라의 눈에 내 존대함과 내 거룩함을 나타내어 나를 알게 하리니 그들이 나를 여호와인줄 알리라

¹ You, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, hear the word of Yahweh.

² Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because the enemy has said against you, Aha! and, The ancient high places are ours in possession;

³ therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because, even because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that you might be a possession to the residue of the nations, and you are taken up in the lips of talkers, and the evil report of the people;

⁴ therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Yahweh: Thus says the Lord Yahweh to the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are all around;

⁵ therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Edom, that have appointed my land to themselves for a possession with the joy of all their heart, with despite of soul, to cast it out for a prey.

⁶ Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and tell the mountains and to the hills, to the watercourses and to the valleys, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the shame of the nations:

⁷ therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: I have sworn, [saying], Surely the nations that are around you, they shall bear their shame.

⁸ But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.

⁹ For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn into you, and you shall be tilled and sown;

¹⁰ and I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, even all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built;

¹¹ and I will multiply on you man and animal; and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your former estate, and will do better [to you] than at your beginnings: and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

¹² Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more henceforth bereave them of children.

¹³ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because they say to you, You are a devourer of men, and have been a bereaver of your nation;

¹⁴ therefore you shall devour men no more, neither bereave your nation any more, says the Lord Yahweh;

¹⁵ neither will I let you hear any more the shame of the nations, neither shall you bear the reproach of the peoples any more, neither shall you cause your nation to stumble any more, says the Lord Yahweh.

¹⁶ Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

¹⁷ Son of man, when the house of Israel lived in their own land, they defiled it by their way and by their doings: their way before me was as the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity.

¹⁸ Therefore I poured out my wrath on them for the blood which they had poured out on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols;

¹⁹ and I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.

²⁰ When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name; in that men said of them, These are the people of Yahweh, and are gone forth out of his land.

²¹ But I had respect for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, where they went.

²² Therefore tell the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: I don't do [this] for your sake, house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, where you went.

²³ I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh, says the Lord Yahweh, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

²⁴ For I will take you from among the nations, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

²⁵ I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.

²⁶ I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.

²⁷ I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them.

²⁸ You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

²⁹ I will save you from all your uncleanness: and I will call for the grain, and will multiply it, and lay no famine on you.

³⁰ I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that you may receive no more the reproach of famine among the nations.

³¹ Then you shall remember your evil ways, and your doings that were not good; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

³² Nor for your sake do I [this], says the Lord Yahweh, be it known to you: be ashamed and confounded for your ways, house of Israel.

³³ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places shall be built.

³⁴ The land that was desolate shall be tilled, whereas it was a desolation in the sight of all who passed by.

³⁵ They shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.

³⁶ Then the nations that are left around you shall know that I, Yahweh, have built the ruined places, and planted that which was desolate: I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and I will do it.

³⁷ Thus says the Lord Yahweh: For this, moreover, will I be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them: I will increase them with men like a flock.

³⁸ As the flock for sacrifice, as the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
