I'm trying to say this in Japanese: "Woe be to those who near the swamp."

I wasn't really sure how to go about this, but I came up with this:

> それらのための災いは誰が沼に行きます  
>  _Woe for those who go to the swamp._

Is this correct at all? I'm very unsure about this sentence. Perhaps there's a
better way of saying this?

Translating “Woe be to those…”
To match the tone of "woe" and the slightly older sounding English of the
original, why not?

> 沼地に近寄る者に災いあれ

Your

> それらのための災いは誰が沼に行きます

Is, I'm sorry to say, mostly nonsensical: "disasters for the benefit of those,
who goes to the swamp?"
