Youele 1
1 Goe sia: dedei amo da Hina Gode Ea Youelema olelei amo dedei. Youele da Bidiuele ea mano.
The Lord sent a message through Joel, son of Pethuel.
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: ?
Listen to this, elders; pay attention, everyone who lives in the land. Has anything ever happened like this before in your experience, or that of your forefathers?
3 Dilia manoma amo sia: olelema. Amola ilia da ilia manoma olelemu, amalu ilia da ilia mano fisa mabe ilima olelemu.
Tell your children about it, and have your children tell it to their children, and their children tell the next 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.
What the cutting locusts left, the swarming locusts have eaten; what the swarming locusts left, the hopping locusts have eaten; what the hopping locusts left, the destroying locusts have eaten.
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.
Wake up, you drunks, and weep! Howl you wine-drinkers, because the new wine has been suddenly taken away 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.
A nation has invaded my land: powerful and too many to count. Their teeth are like lion's teeth, their fangs like those of a lioness.
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.
It has ruined my grapevines and destroyed my fig trees, stripping them completely and reducing them to stumps, white and bare.
8 Dunu fi dilia huluane didigia: ma, dilia musa: uda a: fini laloba didigia: su amo dunu bogoloba didigia: su agoane.
Mourn like a bride dressed in sackcloth, mourning the death of her husband-to-be.
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.
Grain and wine offerings have stopped in the Temple. The priests who minister before the Lord are in mourning.
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 fields are devastated, the earth mourns; for the grain is ruined, the new wine dries up, the olive oil fails.
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.
Be ashamed, farmers, and wail in sorrow, keepers of vineyards, over the wheat and the barley, for the crops from the fields are ruined.
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 vines are shriveled, the fig trees are withered; the pomegranate, the palm, and the apricot trees—all the fruit trees have dried up, and at the same time the people's happiness has also dried up.
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.
Dress in sackcloth, you priests, and mourn; weep, you who minister before the altar! Go and spend the night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, for the grain and wine offerings have stopped in the Temple.
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!
Proclaim a fast; call a sacred assembly. Have the elders and all people of the land gather in the Temple, and cry out to your God, 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.
What a terrible day! For the day of the Lord is near, it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
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.
Haven't we seen our food taken away from us, right before our eyes? There is no joy and happiness in God's Temple.
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.
Seeds planted in the ground shrivel up; the storehouses are empty, the barns are torn down because the grain has dried up.
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.
The farm animals moan with hunger. The herds of cattle wander everywhere because they can't find grass to eat; the flocks of sheep are suffering.
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 you, Lord, I cry out! For fire has destroyed the pastures in the wilderness; flames have burned up all the orchards.
20 Amolawane, ohe fi ilia da ha: ga Dima dini iaha. Bai hano huluane da hale dagoi.
Even the wild animals long for you because the streams have dried up, and fire has destroyed the pastures in the wilderness.
