< Youele 1 >

1 Goe sia: dedei amo da Hina Gode Ea Youelema olelei amo dedei. Youele da Bidiuele ea mano.
The word of Jehovah, which came to Joel, the 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: ?
Hear this, ye old men; Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land! Hath such a thing happened in your days, Or even 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 your children of it, And let your children tell their children, And their children 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 gnawing-locust left hath the swarming-locust eaten, And that which the swarming-locust left hath the licking-locust eaten, And that which the licking-locust left hath the consuming-locust 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.
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep! Howl, all ye drinkers of wine, For the new wine, which is snatched from your mouths!
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 hath come up on my land, Strong, and not to be numbered; Their teeth are the teeth of the lion; They have the jaw-teeth of the 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.
They have made my vine a desolation, And my fig-tree a broken branch; They have made it quite 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 ye, like a bride, Clothed in 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.
The flour-offering and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; The priests, the servants of Jehovah mourn.
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 field is laid waste; The ground mourneth, For the corn is laid waste; The new wine is dried up; The oil languisheth.
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.
Lament, O ye husbandmen, Howl, O ye vine-dressers, For the wheat and the barley, For the harvest of the field hath 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 vine is dried up, And the fig-tree languisheth; The pomegranate, the palm-tree, and the apple-tree, —All the trees of the field, are withered; Yea, joy is withered away from the sons 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 with sackcloth and mourn, ye priests! Howl, ye ministers of the altar! Come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God, For the flour-offering and the drink-offering are withholden 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!
Appoint ye a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land Into the house of Jehovah, your God, And cry unto Jehovah!
15 Hina Gode Ea Eso da gadeneidafa. Amo esoga Hina Gode Gasa Bagadedafa, se bagade gaguli misunu, amola beda: i bagadewane ba: mu.
Alas, alas the day! For the day of Jehovah is near; Even as destruction from the Almighty doth it come.
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 our food cut off from before our eyes, Yea, 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 seeds are rotten under their clods, The storehouses are laid desolate, the garners are destroyed; For the corn is withered.
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.
How do the beasts groan, How do the herds of oxen wander perplexed, Having no pasture! The flocks of sheep also are destroyed.
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 Jehovah, do I call, For a fire hath devoured the pastures of the desert, And a flame hath burned all the trees of the field!
20 Amolawane, ohe fi ilia da ha: ga Dima dini iaha. Bai hano huluane da hale dagoi.
The beasts of the field, also, cry unto thee, For the streams of water are dried up, And a fire hath devoured the pastures of the desert!
