约珥书 1
1 耶和华的话临到毗土珥的儿子约珥。
The word of the Lord is this, that was maad to Joel, the sone of Phatuel.
2 老年人哪，当听我的话； 国中的居民哪，都要侧耳而听。 在你们的日子， 或你们列祖的日子， 曾有这样的事吗？
Elde men, here ye this, and alle dwelleris of the lond, perseyue ye with eeris. If this thing was don in youre daies, ether in the daies of youre fadris.
3 你们要将这事传与子， 子传与孙， 孙传与后代。
Of this thing telle ye to your sones, and your sones telle to her sones, and the sones of hem telle to another generacioun.
4 剪虫剩下的，蝗虫来吃； 蝗虫剩下的，蝻子来吃； 蝻子剩下的，蚂蚱来吃。
A locuste eet the residue of a worte worm, and a bruke eet the residue of a locuste, and rust eet the residue of a bruke.
5 酒醉的人哪，要清醒哭泣； 好酒的人哪，都要为甜酒哀号， 因为从你们的口中断绝了。
Drunken men, wake ye, and wepe; and yelle ye, alle that drynken wyn in swetnesse; for it perischide fro youre mouth.
6 有一队蝗虫又强盛又无数， 侵犯我的地； 它的牙齿如狮子的牙齿， 大牙如母狮的大牙。
For whi a folc strong and vnnoumbrable stiede on my lond. The teeth therof ben as the teeth of a lioun, and the cheek teeth therof ben as of a whelp of a lioun.
7 它毁坏我的葡萄树， 剥了我无花果树的皮， 剥尽而丢弃，使枝条露白。
It settide my vyner in to desert, and took awei the riynde of my fige tre. It made nakid and spuylide that vyner, and castide forth; the braunchis therof ben maad white.
8 我的民哪，你当哀号，像处女腰束麻布， 为幼年的丈夫哀号。
Weile thou, as a virgyn gird with a sak on the hosebonde of hir tyme of mariage.
9 素祭和奠祭从耶和华的殿中断绝； 事奉耶和华的祭司都悲哀。
Sacrifice and moist sacrifice perischide fro the hous of the Lord; and preestis, the mynystris of the Lord, moureneden.
10 田荒凉，地悲哀； 因为五谷毁坏， 新酒干竭，油也缺乏。
The cuntrey is maad bare of puple. The erthe mourenyde; for whete is distried. Wyn is schent, and oile was sijk, ether failide.
11 农夫啊，你们要惭愧； 修理葡萄园的啊，你们要哀号； 因为大麦小麦与田间的庄稼都灭绝了。
The erthe tilieris ben schent, the vyn tilieris yelliden on wheete and barli; for the ripe corn of the feeld is perischid.
12 葡萄树枯干； 无花果树衰残。 石榴树、棕树、苹果树， 连田野一切的树木也都枯干； 众人的喜乐尽都消灭。
The vyner is schent; and the fige tre was sijk. The pomgarnate tre, and the palm tre, and the fir tre, and alle trees of the feeld drieden vp; for ioie is schent fro the sones of men.
13 祭司啊，你们当腰束麻布痛哭； 伺候祭坛的啊，你们要哀号； 事奉我 神的啊，你们要来披上麻布过夜， 因为素祭和奠祭从你们 神的殿中断绝了。
Ye prestis, girde you, and weile; ye mynystris of the auter, yelle. Mynystris of my God, entre ye, ligge ye in sak; for whi sacrifice and moist sacrifice perischide fro the hous of youre God.
14 你们要分定禁食的日子， 宣告严肃会， 招聚长老和国中的一切居民 到耶和华—你们 神的殿， 向耶和华哀求。
Halewe ye fastyng, clepe ye cumpeny, gadere ye togidere elde men, and alle dwelleris of the erthe in to the hous of youre God; and crie ye to the Lord, A!
15 哀哉！耶和华的日子临近了。 这日来到，好像毁灭从全能者来到。
A! A! to the dai; for the dai of the Lord is niy, and schal come as a tempest fro the myyti.
16 粮食不是在我们眼前断绝了吗？ 欢喜快乐不是从我们 神的殿中止息了吗？
Whether foodis perischiden not bifore youre iyen; gladnesse and ful out ioie perischide fro the hous of youre God?
17 谷种在土块下朽烂； 仓也荒凉，廪也破坏； 因为五谷枯干了。
Beestis wexen rotun in her drit. Bernes ben distried, celeris ben distried, for wheete is schent.
18 牲畜哀鸣； 牛群混乱，因为无草； 羊群也受了困苦。
Whi weilide a beeste? whi lowiden the flockis of oxun and kien? for no lesewe is to hem; but also the flockis of scheep perischiden.
19 耶和华啊，我向你求告， 因为火烧灭旷野的草场； 火焰烧尽田野的树木。
Lord, Y schal crye to thee, for fier eet the faire thingis of desert, and flawme brente all the trees of the cuntrei.
20 田野的走兽向你发喘； 因为溪水干涸， 火也烧灭旷野的草场。
But also beestis of the feeld, as a corn floor thirstynge reyn, bihelden to thee; for the wellis of watris ben dried vp, and fier deuouride the faire thingis of desert.
