約珥書 3
1 「到那日，我使猶大和耶路撒冷被擄之人歸回的時候，
For lo! in tho daies, and in that tyme, whanne Y schal turne the caitifte of Juda and of Jerusalem,
2 我要聚集萬民，帶他們下到約沙法谷，在那裏施行審判；因為他們將我的百姓，就是我的產業以色列，分散在列國中，又分取我的地土，
Y schal gadere alle folkis, and Y schal lede hem in to the valei of Josephat; and Y schal dispute there with hem on my puple, and myn eritage Israel, whiche thei scateriden among naciouns; and thei departiden my lond, and senten lot on my puple;
3 且為我的百姓拈鬮，將童子換妓女，賣童女買酒喝。
and thei settiden a knaue child in the bordel hous, and seelden a damesel for wyn, that thei schulden drynke.
4 「泰爾、西頓，和非利士四境的人哪，你們與我何干？你們要報復我嗎？若報復我，我必使報應速速歸到你們的頭上。
But what to me and to you, thou Tire, and Sidon, and ech ende of Palestyns? Whethir ye schulen yelde vengyng to me? and if ye vengen you ayens me, soone swiftli Y schal yelde while to you on youre heed.
5 你們既然奪取我的金銀，又將我可愛的寶物帶入你們宮殿，
Ye token awey my siluer and gold, and ye brouyten my desirable thingis and faireste thingis in to youre templis of idols.
6 並將猶大人和耶路撒冷人賣給希臘人，使他們遠離自己的境界。
And ye selden the sones of Juda, and the sones of Jerusalem to the sones of Grekis, that ye schulden make hem fer fro her coostis.
7 我必激動他們離開你們所賣到之地，又必使報應歸到你們的頭上。
Lo! Y schal reise hem fro the place in which ye seelden hem; and Y schal turne youre yeldyng in to youre heed.
8 我必將你們的兒女賣在猶大人的手中，他們必賣給遠方示巴國的人。這是耶和華說的。」
And Y schal sille youre sones and youre douytris in the hondis of the sones of Juda, and thei schulen selle hem to Sabeis, a fer folc, for the Lord spak.
9 當在萬民中宣告說： 要預備打仗； 激動勇士， 使一切戰士上前來。
Crye ye this thing among hethene men, halewe ye batel, reise ye stronge men; alle men werriours, neiy, and stie.
10 要將犂頭打成刀劍， 將鐮刀打成戈矛； 軟弱的要說：我有勇力。
Beete ye togydere youre plowis in to swerdis, and youre mattokkis in to speeris; a sijk man seie, that Y am strong.
11 四圍的列國啊， 你們要速速地來， 一同聚集。 耶和華啊， 求你使你的大能者降臨。
Alle folkis, breke ye out, and come fro cumpas, and be ye gaderid togidere; there the Lord schal make thi stronge men to die.
12 萬民都當興起， 上到約沙法谷； 因為我必坐在那裏， 審判四圍的列國。
Folkis rise togidere, and stie in to the valei of Josofat; for Y schal sitte there, to deme alle folkis in cumpas.
13 開鐮吧！因為莊稼熟了； 踐踏吧！因為酒醡滿了。 酒池盈溢； 他們的罪惡甚大。
Sende ye sikelis, `ether sithis, for ripe corn wexide; come ye, and go ye doun, for the pressour is ful; pressouris ben plenteuouse, for the malice of hem is multiplied.
14 許多許多的人在斷定谷， 因為耶和華的日子臨近斷定谷。
Puplis, puplis in the valei of kittyng doun; for the dai of the Lord is nyy in the valei of kittyng doun.
15 日月昏暗， 星宿無光。
The sunne and the moone ben maad derk, and sterris withdrowen her schynyng.
16 耶和華必從錫安吼叫， 從耶路撒冷發聲， 天地就震動。 耶和華卻要作他百姓的避難所， 作以色列人的保障。
And the Lord schal rore fro Sion, and schal yyue his vois fro Jerusalem, and heuenes and erthe schulen be mouyd; and the Lord is the hope of his puple, and the strengthe of the sones of Israel.
17 你們就知道我是耶和華－你們的上帝， 且又住在錫安－我的聖山。 那時，耶路撒冷必成為聖； 外邦人不再從其中經過。
And ye schulen wite, that Y am youre Lord God, dwellynge in Sion, in myn hooli hil; and Jerusalem schal be hooli, and aliens schulen no more passe bi it.
18 到那日，大山要滴甜酒； 小山要流奶子； 猶大溪河都有水流。 必有泉源從耶和華的殿中流出來， 滋潤什亭谷。
And it schal be, in that dai mounteyns schulen droppe swetnesse, and litle hillis schulen flowe with mylke, and watris schulen go bi alle the ryueris of Juda; and a welle schal go out of the hous of the Lord, and schal moiste the stronde of thornes.
19 埃及必然荒涼， 以東變為悽涼的曠野， 都因向猶大人所行的強暴， 又因在本地流無辜人的血。
Egipt schal be in to desolacioun, and Idume in to desert of perdicioun; for that that thei diden wickidli ayens the sones of Juda, and schedden out innocent blood in her lond.
20 但猶大必存到永遠； 耶路撒冷必存到萬代。
And Judee schal be enhabited with outen ende, and Jerusalem in to generacioun and in to generacioun.
21 我未曾報復流血的罪， 現在我要報復， 因為耶和華住在錫安。
And Y schal clense the blood of hem, which Y hadde not clensid; and the Lord schal dwelle in Syon.
