يُوئيل 1
| هَذَا مَا أَوْحَى بِهِ الرَّبُّ إِلَى يُوئِيلَ بْنِ فَثُوئِيلَ: | ١ 1 |
The word of the Lord which came to Joel the son of Bathuel.
| اسْمَعُوا هَذَا أَيُّهَا الشُّيُوخُ، وَأَصْغُوا يَا جَمِيعَ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ، هَلْ جَرَى مِثْلُ هَذَا فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ أَوْ فِي أَيَّامِ آبَائِكُمْ؟ | ٢ 2 |
Hear these [words], ye elders, and hearken all ye that inhabit the land. Have such things happen in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
| أَخْبِرُوا بِهَذَا أَبْنَاءَكُمْ، وَلْيُخْبِرْ أَبْنَاؤُكُمْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ لِيَنْقُلُوهُ إِلَى الأَجْيَالِ الْقَادِمَةِ. | ٣ 3 |
Tell your children concerning them, and [let] your children [tell] their children, and their children another generation.
| إِنَّ مَا تَخَلَّفَ مِنْ مَحْصُولِكُمْ عَنْ هَجَمَاتِ الزَّحَّافِ الْتَهَمَتْهُ أَسْرَابُ الْجَرَادِ، وَمَا تَفَضَّلَ عَنْ أَسْرَابِ الْجَرَادِ أَكَلَتْهُ الْجَنَادِبُ؛ وَمَا بَقِيَ عَنِ الْجَنَادِبِ قَضَى عَلَيْهِ الطَّيَّارُ. | ٤ 4 |
The leavings of the caterpillar has the locust eaten, and the leavings of the locust has the palmerworm eaten, and the leavings of the palmerworm has the cankerworm eaten.
| اصْحُوا أَيُّهَا السَّكَارَى، وَابْكُوا يَا جَمِيعَ مُدْمِنِي الْخَمْرِ عَلَى الْعَصِيرِ لأَنَّهُ قَدِ انْقَطَعَ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ. | ٥ 5 |
Awake, ye drunkards, from your wine, and weep: mourn, all ye that drink wine to drunkenness: for joy and gladness and removed are from your mouth.
| فَإِنَّ أُمَّةً قَدْ زَحَفَتْ عَلَى أَرْضِي، أُمَّةً قَوِيَّةً لَا تُحْصَى لِكَثْرَتِهَا. لَهَا أَسْنَانُ لَيْثٍ وَأَنْيَابُ لَبُوءَةٍ، | ٦ 6 |
For a strong and innumerable nation is come up against my land, their teeth are lion's teeth, and their back teeth those of a [lion's] whelp.
| فَأَتْلَفَتْ كُرُومِي وَحَطَّمَتْ أَشْجَارَ بَيْتِي وَسَلَخَتْ قُشُورَهَا وَطَرَحَتْهَا، فَابْيَضَّتْ أَغْصَانُهَا. | ٧ 7 |
He has ruined my vine, and utterly broken my fig-trees: he has utterly searched [my vine], and cast it down; he has peeled its branches.
| نُوحُوا كَمَا تَنُوحُ صَبِيَّةٌ مُتَّشِحَةٌ بِالْمُسُوحِ عَلَى زَوْجِهَا الَّذِي مَاتَ. | ٨ 8 |
Lament to me more than a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
| لأَنَّ تَقْدِمَاتِ الدَّقِيقِ وَالْخَمْرِ قَدِ انْقَطَعَتْ عَنْ بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، وَانْتَحَبَ الْكَهَنَةُ خُدَّامُ الرَّبِّ. | ٩ 9 |
The meat-offering and drink-offering are removed from the house of the Lord: mourn, ye priests that serve at the altar of the Lord.
| قَدْ خَرِبَتِ الْحُقُولُ، وَنَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ لأَنَّ الْحِنْطَةَ تَلِفَتْ وَالْخَمْرَةَ انْقَطَعَتْ، وَافْتُقِدَ زَيْتُ الزَّيْتُونِ. | ١٠ 10 |
For the plains languish: let the land mourn, for the corn languishes; the wine is dried up, the oil becomes scarce;
| اخْزَوْا أَيُّهَا الْحَرَّاثُونَ وَوَلْوِلُوا أَيُّهَا الْكَرَّامُونَ عَلَى الْقَمْحِ وَالشَّعِيرِ، لأَنَّ حَصَادَ الْحَقْلِ قَدْ تَلِفَ. | ١١ 11 |
the husbandmen are consumed: mourn your property on account of the wheat and barley; for the harvest has perished from off the field.
| قَدْ ذَوَى الْكَرْمُ وَذَبُلَ التِّينُ وَالرُّمَّانُ وَالنَّخِيلُ وَالتُّفَّاحُ وَيَبِسَتْ سَائِرُ أَشْجَارِ الْحَقْلِ، وَزَالَتِ الْبَهْجَةُ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْبَشَرِ. | ١٢ 12 |
The vine is dried up, and the fig-trees are become few; the pomegranate, and palm-tree, and apple, and all trees of the field are dried up: for the sons of men have have abolished joy.
| أَيُّهَا الْكَهَنَةُ اتَّشِحُوا بِالْمُسُوحِ وَنُوحُوا. وَلْوِلُوا يَا خُدَّامَ الْمَذْبَحِ. تَعَالَوْا وَبِيتُوا لَيْلَتَكُمْ بِالْمُسُوحِ يَا خُدَّامَ إِلَهِي، لأَنَّ تَقْدِمَاتِ الدَّقِيقِ وَالْخَمْرِ قَدْ مُنِعَتْ عَنْ هَيْكَلِ اللهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Gird yourselves [with sackcloth], and lament, ye priests: mourn, ye that serve at the altar: go in, sleep in sackcloths, ye that minister to God: for the meat-offering and drink-offering are withheld from the house of your God.
| خَصِّصُوا صَوْماً. نَادُوا بِالاعْتِكَافِ. ادْعُوا الشُّيُوخَ وَجَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ لِلاجْتِمَاعِ فِي هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَتَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْهِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service, gather the elders [and] all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God, and cry earnestly to the Lord,
| يَا لَهُ مِنْ يَوْمٍ رَهِيبٍ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ يَأْتِي حَامِلاً مَعَهُ الدَّمَارَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْقَدِيرِ. | ١٥ 15 |
Alas, Alas, Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is nigh, and it will come as trouble upon trouble.
| أَلَمْ يَنْقَطِعِ الطَّعَامُ أَمَامَ عُيُونِنَا، أَلَمْ يَتَلاشَ الْفَرَحُ وَالْغِبْطَةُ مِنْ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا؟ | ١٦ 16 |
[Your] meat has been destroyed before your eyes, joy and gladness from out of the house of your God.
| قَدْ تَعَفَّنَتِ الْحُبُوبُ الْمَزْرُوعَةُ فِي الأَرْضِ الْجَافَّةِ، وَتَهَدَّمَتِ الْمَخَازِنُ وَفَرِغَتِ الصَّوَامِعُ مِنَ الْقَمْحِ، لأَنَّ الْحُبُوبَ قَدْ جَفَّتْ. | ١٧ 17 |
The heifers have started at their mangers, the treasures are abolished, the wine-presses are broken down; for the corn is withered.
| لَكَمْ أَنَّتِ الْبَهَائِمُ، وَشَرَدَتِ الْمَوَاشِي إِذِ افْتَقَرَتْ إِلَى الْمَرْعَى. حَتَّى قُطْعَانُ الْغَنَمِ هَلَكَتْ أَيْضاً. | ١٨ 18 |
What shall we store up for ourselves? the herds of cattle have mourned, because they had no pasture; and the flocks of sheep have been utterly destroyed.
| إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبُّ أَصْرُخُ لأَنَّ النَّارَ قَدِ الْتَهَمَتْ مَرَاعِيَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَأَحْرَقَ اللَّهِيبُ كُلَّ أَشْجَارِ الْحَقْلِ. | ١٩ 19 |
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: for fire has devoured the fair places of the wilderness, and a flame has burnt up all the trees of the field.
| حَتَّى الْحَيَوَانَاتُ الْبَرِّيَّةُ اسْتَغَاثَتْ بِكَ، لأَنَّ مِيَاهَ الْجَدَاوِلِ الْجَارِيَةَ قَدْ جَفَّتْ، وَالْتَهَمَتِ النِّيرَانُ مَرَاعِيَ الْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢٠ 20 |
And the cattle of the field have looked up to thee: for the fountains of waters have been dried up, and fire has devoured the fair places of the wilderness.
