1 Goe sia: dedei amo da Hina Gode Ea Youelema olelei amo dedei. Youele da Bidiuele ea mano.
The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Phatuel.
2 Dilia noga: le dawa: ma! Fada: i dunu dilia dunu huluane Yuda soge ganodini esalebe dilia nabima. Dilia da goe hou doaga: be da ba: ila: ? Dili goi hadi agoai esaloba amola dilia ada ilia da goe hou hamobe ba: bela: ?
Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land: did this ever happen in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
3 Dilia manoma amo sia: olelema. Amola ilia da ilia manoma olelemu, amalu ilia da ilia mano fisa mabe ilima olelemu.
Tell ye of this to your children, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.
4 Danuba: gilisi agoane misini, ha: i manu sagai amo ea lubi na dagoi amola goe danuba: ilia fisili ahoasea, bu danuba: eno maha amola, ilia da ha: i manu sagai lubi amo na ebelesa.
That which the palmerworm hath left, the locust hath eaten: and that which the locust hath left, the bruchus hath eaten: and that which the bruchus hath left, the mildew hath destroyed.
5 Gola midi dilia wa: legadole didigia: ma, Waini hano nawane feloai dunu dilia amola dima. Waini efe fage amo da gaheabolo waini hano hamoma: ne ilegei Da gugunufinisi dagoi.
Awake, ye that are drunk, and weep, and mourn all ye that take delight in drinking sweet wine: for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 Danuba: ilia da gegesu dunu wa: i bagade agoai, ilia da ninia soge amoma gegemusa: ahoa. Ilia da gasa bagade amola ili idimu da hamedeidafa. Ilia bese da laione wa: me ea bese sosoa: i amola mei agoai diala.
For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number: his teeth are like the teeth of a lion: and his cheek teeth as of a lion’s whelp.
7 Ilia da ninia waini fage legesu efe amo wadela: lesi amola figi dulu amo na ebelei. Ilia da ifa gadofo sosoga: i dagoi amola amoda da soa: ya: i agoane afadenei.
He hath laid my vineyard waste, and hath pilled off the bark of my fig tree: he hath stripped it bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8 Dunu fi dilia huluane didigia: ma, dilia musa: uda a: fini laloba didigia: su amo dunu bogoloba didigia: su agoane.
Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9 Debolo diasu ganodini ilia gagoma amola waini da Hina Godema imunu da hamedafa. Gobele Salasu dunu ilia da bagade da: i dioi. Abuliba: le? Bai gobele salasu liligi Hina Godema imunu da hame gala.
Sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of the Lord: the priests, the Lord’s ministers, have mourned:
10 Ifabi ganodini da ha: i manu afaedafa da hame ba: sa. Amola osobo da wadela: lesi dagoi amola waini efe da huluane biogia: i ba: i, amola olife ifa huluane da biole wadela: lesi dagoi.
The country is destroyed, the ground hath mourned: for the corn is wasted, the wine is confounded, the oil hath languished.
11 Ifabi ouligisu dunu! Dilia waini sagai ganodini hawa: hamosu dunu! Dilia figi sagai ganodini hawa: hamosu dunu huluane! Dilia huluane bagade asigili didigia: ma. Bai widi amola bali amola ha: i manu bugi huluanedafa da wadela: lesi dagoi.
The husbandmen are ashamed, the vinedressers have howled for the wheat, and for the barley, because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 Ha: i manu ida: iwane legesu ifa, figi amola waini efe huluane da biogia: i, amaiba: le dunu fi ilia da da: i dioi bagade ba: sa.
The vineyard is confounded, and the fig tree hath languished: the pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the apple tree, and all the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withdrawn from the children of men.
13 Gobele Salasu dunu dilia da oloda amoga hawa: hamonana! Dilia abula gisa: le amola wadela: i eboboi abula salawane dini ima. Gasi ganodini dilia Debolo diasu ganodini didigia: sa esala hadigima. Bai gala: ine amola waini hano Godema ima: ne da hame gala.
Gird yourselves, and lament, O ye priests, howl, ye ministers of the altars: go in, lie in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: because sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of your God.
14 Dilia dunu fi ilima ha: i hame nasu hou hamoma: ne sia: ma amola dunu huluanema gilisimusa: sia: ma. Ouligisu dunu huluane amola Yuda fi dunu ilia huluane Debolo diasu ganodini gagadoma. Amasea, Hina Godema wele sia: ma!
Sanctify ye a fast, call an assembly; gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God: and cry ye to the Lord:
15 Hina Gode Ea Eso da gadeneidafa. Amo esoga Hina Gode Gasa Bagadedafa, se bagade gaguli misunu, amola beda: i bagadewane ba: mu.
Ah, ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand, and it shall come like destruction from the mighty.
16 Ninia ba: loba da ha: i manu huluane da wadela: lesi dagoi ba: mu, amola Godema hahawane gilisisu hou Debolo ganodini da hamedafa gala.
Is not your food cut off before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 Fage amo osobo hafoga: i ganodini amo da dasagia: i. Amola fage da afae agoane hamedafa amola hawa: legesu diasu ganodini da hamedafa gala. Gala: ine ha: i manu legesu diasu da hagia: i diala amola huluane dasagia: i dagoi.
The beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are broken down: because the corn is confounded.
18 Bulamagau ea ha: i nasu gisi da hamedafa amola ili da ha: giwane ga: ea gusa: sa. Amola sibi ilia da ha: i manu hameba: le, ilia da: i da geloga: gia: iba: le se naba.
Why did the beast groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.
19 Hina Gode, na Dima dini iawane, Dima sia: ne gadosa! Bai ha: i manu da huluane biogia: i dagoi. Amola ifa amola gisi amola ha: i manu huluane da laluga nei agoai ba: sa.
To thee, O Lord, will I cry: because fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness, and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the country.
20 Amolawane, ohe fi ilia da ha: ga Dima dini iaha. Bai hano huluane da hale dagoi.
Yea and the beasts of the field have looked up to thee, as a garden bed that thirsteth after rain, for the springs of waters are dried up, and fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness.
