Chapter 39.

"And you, pikin of man, prophesy against Gog: Na dis be wetin Papa wey be Oga over all tok: I dey against you, Gog, di chief prince of Meshech and Tubal. I go turn you around, drive you go front, bring you comot from di far north, and lead you against di mountains of Israel. Den I go knock your bow comot from your left hand and make your arrows fall from your right hand. You go fall for di mountains of Israel, you and all your soldiers and di people wey dey with you. I go give you as food to every kind of bird wey dey chop meat and to di wild animals. You go fall for di open field, because I don tok am, na so Papa wey be Oga over all tok. I go send fire on Magog and on dose wey dey live without fear for di coastlands, and dem go know say I be di Papa. I go make my holy name known among my people Israel, and I no go allow dem spoil my holy name again. Den di nations go know say I be di Papa, di Holy One for Israel. Look am, e dey come and e go happen, na so Papa wey be Oga over all tok. Na dis be di day wey I bin tok about.'

"Den dose wey dey live for Israel cities go comot, make fire with di weapons and burn dem—shields and small shields, bows and arrows, war clubs and spears—dem go use dem as firewood for seven years. Dem no go gather any wood from di field or forest, because dem go burn di weapons. Dem go tief di goods of dose wey bin tief dem and carry di goods of dose wey bin carry dem, na so Papa wey be Oga over all tok.'

"For dat day I go give Gog place to bury am for Israel, di Valley of di Travelers, for east of di sea. E go block di travelers, because na dere dem go bury Gog and all im crowd, and dem go call am di Valley of Hamon-gog. a a v11 Hamon-gog mean "di crowd of Gog" — dem name di valley for di plenty crowd wey dem bury dere. For seven months di house of Israel go dey bury dem, so dat dem go clean di land. Everybody for di land go bury dem, and e go bring dem big name for di day wey I go show my glory, na so Papa wey be Oga over all tok.'

"Dem go pick men wey go dey pass through di land all di time, dey bury dose wey remain for di ground, so dat dem go clean am. After seven months dem go search. As dem dey pass through di land, anybody wey see human bone go put mark for im side, until di people wey dey bury go bury am for di Valley of Hamon-gog. (Dem go get one city wey dem go call Hamonah for dere too.) So dem go clean di land.'

"As for you, pikin of man, na dis be wetin Papa wey be Oga over all tok: Tok give di birds of every kind and to all di beasts of di field: Gather togeda and come, gather from every side to di sacrifice wey I dey prepare for una, one big sacrifice for di mountains of Israel; una go chop flesh and drink blood. Una go chop di flesh of warriors and drink di blood of di princes of di earth—rams, lambs, goats, bulls, all di fat animals of Bashan. Una go chop fat till una belle full and drink blood till una drunk, for di sacrifice wey I prepare for una. For my table una go chop una fill of horses and dose wey dey ride chariot, of strong men and soldiers of every kind, na so Papa wey be Oga over all tok.'

"I go set my glory among di nations, and all di nations go see di judgment wey I carry out and di hand wey I put on dem. And from dat day go front di house of Israel go know say I be dem Papa. Den di nations go know say di house of Israel go into exile because of dem sin, because dem no keep faith with me. So I hide my face, give dem to dem enemies, and dem all fall by di sword. I deal with dem according to dem dirtiness and sins, and hide my face from dem.'

"So Papa wey be Oga over all tok: Now I go bring back Jacob good things and get tender mercy wey dey pain belle for all di house of Israel, and I go dey jealous for my holy name. Dem go carry dem shame and all di betrayal wey dem do against me, wen dem dey live without fear for dem land with nobody to make dem fear. Wen I bring dem back from di peoples and gather dem from di lands of dem enemies, I go show mysef holy through dem before plenty nations. Den dem go know say I be dem Papa, because I send dem go exile among di nations, den gather dem back to dem own land, and I no leave any one behind. I no go hide my face from dem again, because I go pour out my Spirit on di house of Israel, na so Papa wey be Oga over all tok."
