يُوئيل 3
| لأَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ، | ١ 1 |
[Yahweh says this]: “At that time [DOU], I will enable [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to prosper again.
| أَجْمَعُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَتَّتُوهُمْ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ وَاقْتَسَمُوا أَرْضِي. | ٢ 2 |
[Then] in the Valley of Judgment I will gather together [the people of] all the [other] nations; I will judge [and punish] them because they scattered my Israeli people and forced them to go to other countries. They divided up my land
| وَأَلْقَوْا الْقُرْعَةَ عَلَى شَعْبِي فَقَايَضُوا الزَّانِيَةَ بِالصَّبِيِّ، وَبَاعُوا الصَّبِيَّةَ لِقَاءَ شُرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ. | ٣ 3 |
and they (threw marked stones/cast lots) to determine who would get [each of] my people. Then they sold [some of] the Israeli boys and girls [to get money to pay] for prostitutes and wine to drink.
| مَاذَا لَدَيْكُمْ ضِدِّي يَا صُورُ وَصِيْدُونُ وَسَائِرَ أَقَالِيمِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ أَتُجَازُونَنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ أَتَيْتُهُ؟ أَمْ تَسْعَوْنَ لإِيذَائِي؟ إِنِّي أُنْزِلُ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ بَغْتَةً وَسَرِيعاً. | ٤ 4 |
You [people of] [APO] Tyre and Sidon [cities] and [you people of] the Philistia [region], I certainly have not [RHQ] done anything to harm you! [So] if you are trying to get revenge on me, I will very quickly get revenge on you.
| لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَيْتُمْ عَلَى ذَهَبِي وَفِضَّتِي، وَنَقَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
| وَبِعْتُمْ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءَ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الْيُونَانِيِّينَ لِتُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِ أَرْضِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
[You dragged away] the people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and you took them far away and sold them to people in Greece.
| وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ حَيْثُ بِعْتُمُوهُمْ، وَأَرُدُّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ سُوءَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ. | ٧ 7 |
But I will cause my people to want to return from the places to which you sold them, and I will do to you what you did to them.
| وَأَبِيعُ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِأَيْدِي أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، فَيَبِيعُونَهُمْ بِدَوْرِهِمْ إِلَى السَّبَئِيِّينَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَصْدَرَ قَضَاءَهُ. | ٨ 8 |
Then I will cause [some of] your sons and your daughters to be sold to the people of Judah! And [some of] them will be sold to the Sabea people-group, who live far away. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
| نَادُوا بِهَذَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَتَأَهَّبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. اُحْشُدُوا أَبْطَالَكُمْ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ الْقِتَالِ. | ٩ 9 |
Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
| أَطْرِقُوا أَسْنَانَ مَحَارِيثِكُمْ وَحَوِّلُوهَا إِلَى سُيُوفٍ، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ إِلَى رِمَاحٍ، وَلْيَقُلِ الضَّعِيفُ: إِنَّنِي جَبَّارُ قِتَالٍ! | ١٠ 10 |
[Take] your plows and make swords from them, and [take] your pruning knives and make spears from them. [Even] the weak people must [also] be like [MET] [strong] soldiers.
| أَسْرِعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ يَا كُلَّ الأُمَمِ، وَاجْتَمِعُوا هُنَاكَ، وَأَنْزِلْ يَا رَبُّ مُحَارِبِيكَ. | ١١ 11 |
All you [people from the] nations that are near [Judah] must come quickly and gather [in the Valley of Judgment].” But Yahweh, [when that happens], send your army [of angels to attack them]!
| لِتَنْهَضِ الأُمَمُ وَتُقْبِلْ إِلَى وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ لأَنَّنِي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لأُدِينَ الشُّعُوبَ الْمُتَوَافِدَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
The [people in] the nations near [Judah] must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment. There Yahweh will sit and judge [and punish] them.
| احْمِلُوا الْمِنْجَلَ لأَنَّ الْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. تَعَالَوْا وَدُوسُوا فَإِنَّ مِعْصَرَةَ الْخَمْرِ قَدِ امْتَلأَتْ، وَالْحِيَاضَ فَاضَتْ بِكَثْرَةِ شَرِّهِمْ. | ١٣ 13 |
[They are like] [MET] crops that are ready to be harvested; so [strike them like] [MET] [a farmer] swings his sickle to cut the grain. They are like [MET] grapes that are piled high in the pits where they will be pressed; because they are very wicked, [punish them severely] [MET] now, like [MET] [a farmer] tramples on the grapes until the pits are full of juice.
| جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ مُتَزَاحِمَةٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ. | ١٤ 14 |
[There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].
| قَدْ أَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، وَكَفَّتِ الْكَوَاكِبُ عَنِ الضِّيَاءِ. | ١٥ 15 |
[At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
| يَزْأَرُ الرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُجَلْجِلُ بِصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ فَتَرْجُفُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ؛ لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مَلْجَأً لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْناً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ١٦ 16 |
From Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem Yahweh will shout, and his voice will be like thunder, and his voice will cause the sky and the earth to shake. But Yahweh will protect [MET] his people; he will be like [MET] a strong wall behind which the people of Israel will be protected.
| فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ السَّاكِنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا الْغُرَبَاءُ أَبَداً. | ١٧ 17 |
[Yahweh says], “At that time, you Israeli people will know that I am Yahweh, your God. I live on Zion, my sacred hill. Jerusalem will be a sacred [city], and [soldiers from] other countries will never conquer it again.
| وَتَقْطُرُ الْجِبَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَمْرَةً عَذْبَةً، وَتَفِيضُ التِّلالُ بِاللَّبَنِ وَجَمِيعُ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَتَدَفَّقُ مَاءً، وَيَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يَرْوِي وَادِي السَّنْطِ، | ١٨ 18 |
At that time, there will be vineyards covering [MTY] the hills, and [your cattle and goats on] those hills will produce plenty of milk. The streams in Judah will never dry up. And a stream will flow from my temple into the Acacia Valley [northeast of the Dead Sea].
| وَتُصْبِحُ مِصْرُ خَرَاباً، وَأَدُومُ قَفْراً مُوْحِشاً لِفَرْطِ مَا أَنْزَلُوهُ مِنْ ظُلْمٍ بِأَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، وَلأَنَّهُمْ سَفَكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً فِي دِيَارِهِمْ. | ١٩ 19 |
[The armies of] Egypt and Edom attacked the people of Judah and killed [MTY] many people who had not done anything that was wrong. So [now] those countries will become deserts,
| أَمَّا يَهُوذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَتَعْمُرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
| وَأُزَكِّي دَمَهُمُ الَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ. | ٢١ 21 |
[I], Yahweh, live on Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], and I will get revenge on the people [of Egypt and Edom] who killed [MTY] [many of my people].”
