Joel 3
1 “Jer, gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme, kad okrenem udes Judeji i Jeruzalemu,
For beholde, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,
2 sakupit ću sve narode i povesti ih u dolinu Jošafat. Ondje ću im suditi zbog Izraela, naroda mog i moje baštine, koju rastjeraše među narode i razdijeliše moju zemlju među se.
I will also gather all nations, and wil bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and will pleade with them there for my people, and for mine heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 Baciše ždrijeb za moj narod; davali su dječake za bludnice, djevojke prodavali za vino i pili.”
And they haue cast lottes for my people, and haue giuen the childe for the harlot, and sold the girle for wine, that they might drinke.
4 “I vi, Tire i Sidone, što hoćete od mene? I vi, filistejski kraljevi? Želite li mi se osvetiti? Ako se budete svetili meni, osveta će brzo na vaše glave.
Yea, and what haue you to do with me, O Tyrus and Zidon and all the costes of Palestina? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence mee, swiftly and speedily will I render your recompence vpon your head:
5 Na vas što mi oteste srebro i zlato, što odnesoste bogate mi riznice u svoje hramove,
For ye haue taken my siluer and my golde, and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things.
6 na vas koji prodavaste Grcima sinove Jude i Jeruzalema da biste ih otjerali od domovine njihove.
The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue you solde vnto the Grecians, that ye might send them farre from their border.
7 Gle, ja ih kanim dići s mjesta gdje god ih prodaste, i učinit ću da vam zločin vaš padne na glave.
Beholde, I will rayse them out of the place where ye haue sold them, and will render your reward vpon your owne head,
8 Prodat ću vaše sinove i kćeri sinovima Judinim, a oni će ih prodat' Sabejcima, daleku narodu. Jer Jahve reče!”
And I will send your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 Razglasite ovo među narodima! Posvetite se za rat! Dižite junake! Naprijed, navalite, svi ratnici!
Publish this among the Gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men: let all the men of warre drawe neere and come vp.
10 Prekujte raonike u mačeve, kosire u koplja, nek' slabić kaže: “Junak sam!”
Breake your plowshares into swords, and your sithes into speares: let the weake say, I am strong.
11 Pohitajte i dođite, svi okolni narodi, i ondje se saberite! (Jahve, onamo pošalji svoje junake!)
Assemble your selues, and come all yee heathen and gather your selues together round about: there shall the Lord cast downe the mightie men.
12 “Budite se, narodi, stupajte u Dolinu Jošafat, jer ću ondje sjesti da sudim svim okolnim narodima.
Let the heathen be wakened, and come vp to the valley of Iehoshaphat: for there will I sit to iudge all the heathen round about.
13 Hvatajte se srpa: ljetina je zrela. Ustanite, siđite: tijesak je pun, prelijevaju se kace, jer je velika zloća njihova.”
Put in your sithes, for the haruest is ripe: come, get you downe, for the winepresse is full: yea, the winepresses runne ouer, for their wickednesse is great.
14 Mnoštvo, mnoštvo u Dolini Odluke! Da, blizu je dan Jahvin u Dolini Odluke!
O multitude, O multitude, come into the valley of threshing: for the day of the Lord is neere in the valley of threshing.
15 Sunce i mjesec pomrčaše, zvijezde potamnješe.
The sunne and moone shalbe darkened, and the starres shall withdrawe their light.
16 Jahve grmi sa Siona, glas diže iz Jeruzalema; nebo se i zemlja tresu. Ali je Jahve utočište svome narodu i zaštita sinovima Izraela.
The Lord also shall roare out of Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the heauens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord wil be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 “Znat ćete tada da sam ja Jahve vaš Bog što stoluje na Sionu, svetoj gori svojoj. Jeruzalem će biti svetište, tuđinac više neće kroza nj proći.”
So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, mine holy Mountaine: then shall Ierusalem bee holy, and there shall no strangers go thorowe her any more.
18 Kad dođe taj dan, kapat će gore moštom, iz bregova će brizgati mlijeko, kroza sva korita riječna u Judeji voda će proteći. Vrelo će šiknuti iz kuće Jahvine da natopi Dolinu sitimsku.
And in that day shall the mountaines drop downe newe wine, and the hilles shall flowe with milke, and al the riuers of Iudah shall runne with waters, and a fountaine shall come forth of the House of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Egipat će opustjeti, Edom će postati beživotna pustinja zbog nasilja učinjena sinovima Judinim, jer proliše krv nevinu u njihovoj zemlji.
Egypt shalbe waste, and Edom shall be a desolate wildernesse, for the iniuries of the childre of Iudah, because they haue shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Judeja će dovijek biti naseljena i Jeruzalem u sva koljena.
But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.
21 “Osvetit ću krv njihovu za koju se nisam još osvetio.” Jahve će dići Dom svoj na Sionu.
For I will clense their blood, that I haue not clensed, and the Lord will dwell in Zion.
