يُوئيل 3

١ 1 لأَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،

“For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

٢ 2 أَجْمَعُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَتَّتُوهُمْ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ وَاقْتَسَمُوا أَرْضِي.

I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

٣ 3 وَأَلْقَوْا الْقُرْعَةَ عَلَى شَعْبِي فَقَايَضُوا الزَّانِيَةَ بِالصَّبِيِّ، وَبَاعُوا الصَّبِيَّةَ لِقَاءَ شُرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ.

and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

٤ 4 مَاذَا لَدَيْكُمْ ضِدِّي يَا صُورُ وَصِيْدُونُ وَسَائِرَ أَقَالِيمِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ أَتُجَازُونَنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ أَتَيْتُهُ؟ أَمْ تَسْعَوْنَ لإِيذَائِي؟ إِنِّي أُنْزِلُ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ بَغْتَةً وَسَرِيعاً.

“Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

٥ 5 لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَيْتُمْ عَلَى ذَهَبِي وَفِضَّتِي، وَنَقَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ.

Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

٦ 6 وَبِعْتُمْ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءَ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الْيُونَانِيِّينَ لِتُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِ أَرْضِهِمْ.

and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.

٧ 7 وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ حَيْثُ بِعْتُمُوهُمْ، وَأَرُدُّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ سُوءَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ.

Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;

٨ 8 وَأَبِيعُ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِأَيْدِي أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، فَيَبِيعُونَهُمْ بِدَوْرِهِمْ إِلَى السَّبَئِيِّينَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَصْدَرَ قَضَاءَهُ.

and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it.”

٩ 9 نَادُوا بِهَذَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَتَأَهَّبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. اُحْشُدُوا أَبْطَالَكُمْ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ الْقِتَالِ.

Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.

١٠ 10 أَطْرِقُوا أَسْنَانَ مَحَارِيثِكُمْ وَحَوِّلُوهَا إِلَى سُيُوفٍ، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ إِلَى رِمَاحٍ، وَلْيَقُلِ الضَّعِيفُ: إِنَّنِي جَبَّارُ قِتَالٍ!

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’

١١ 11 أَسْرِعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ يَا كُلَّ الأُمَمِ، وَاجْتَمِعُوا هُنَاكَ، وَأَنْزِلْ يَا رَبُّ مُحَارِبِيكَ.

Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.

١٢ 12 لِتَنْهَضِ الأُمَمُ وَتُقْبِلْ إِلَى وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ لأَنَّنِي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لأُدِينَ الشُّعُوبَ الْمُتَوَافِدَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ.

“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

١٣ 13 احْمِلُوا الْمِنْجَلَ لأَنَّ الْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. تَعَالَوْا وَدُوسُوا فَإِنَّ مِعْصَرَةَ الْخَمْرِ قَدِ امْتَلأَتْ، وَالْحِيَاضَ فَاضَتْ بِكَثْرَةِ شَرِّهِمْ.

Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”

١٤ 14 جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ مُتَزَاحِمَةٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ.

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

١٥ 15 قَدْ أَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، وَكَفَّتِ الْكَوَاكِبُ عَنِ الضِّيَاءِ.

The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

١٦ 16 يَزْأَرُ الرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُجَلْجِلُ بِصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ فَتَرْجُفُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ؛ لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مَلْجَأً لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْناً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

١٧ 17 فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ السَّاكِنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا الْغُرَبَاءُ أَبَداً.

“So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

١٨ 18 وَتَقْطُرُ الْجِبَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَمْرَةً عَذْبَةً، وَتَفِيضُ التِّلالُ بِاللَّبَنِ وَجَمِيعُ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَتَدَفَّقُ مَاءً، وَيَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يَرْوِي وَادِي السَّنْطِ،

It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; and a fountain will flow out from the LORD’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.

١٩ 19 وَتُصْبِحُ مِصْرُ خَرَاباً، وَأَدُومُ قَفْراً مُوْحِشاً لِفَرْطِ مَا أَنْزَلُوهُ مِنْ ظُلْمٍ بِأَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، وَلأَنَّهُمْ سَفَكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً فِي دِيَارِهِمْ.

Egypt will be a desolation and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

٢٠ 20 أَمَّا يَهُوذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَتَعْمُرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ.

But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

٢١ 21 وَأُزَكِّي دَمَهُمُ الَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ.

I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
