Joel 3

1 “Jer, gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme, kad okrenem udes Judeji i Jeruzalemu,

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

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.

Then will I assemble all the nations, and I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will hold judgment with them there because of my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and for my land [which] they have divided out.

3 Baciše ždrijeb za moj narod; davali su dječake za bludnice, djevojke prodavali za vino i pili.”

And for my people did they cast lots; and gave a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and drank it.

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.

And also ye, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all ye districts of Philistia? is this the recompense which ye repay me? or do ye only commence to render me evil?— swiftly and speedily will I bring back your recompense upon your own head;

5 Na vas što mi oteste srebro i zlato, što odnesoste bogate mi riznice u svoje hramove,

Because my silver and my gold have ye taken, and the handsomest of my precious things have ye carried into your temples;

6 na vas koji prodavaste Grcima sinove Jude i Jeruzalema da biste ih otjerali od domovine njihove.

And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Jevanim, in order to remove them far from their borders.

7 Gle, ja ih kanim dići s mjesta gdje god ih prodaste, i učinit ću da vam zločin vaš padne na glave.

Behold, I will awaken them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will bring back your recompense upon your own head;

8 Prodat ću vaše sinove i kćeri sinovima Judinim, a oni će ih prodat' Sabejcima, daleku narodu. Jer Jahve reče!”

And I will deliver your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off; for the Lord hath spoken it.

9 Razglasite ovo među narodima! Posvetite se za rat! Dižite junake! Naprijed, navalite, svi ratnici!

Proclaim ye this among the nations, Prepare war, wake up the mighty men; let them draw near; let them come up—all the men of war.

10 Prekujte raonike u mačeve, kosire u koplja, nek' slabić kaže: “Junak sam!”

Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears: let the weak say, I am a hero.

11 Pohitajte i dođite, svi okolni narodi, i ondje se saberite! (Jahve, onamo pošalji svoje junake!)

Assemble hastily together, and come, all ye nations from every side, and gather yourselves together: there doth the Lord strike down thy mighty ones.

12 “Budite se, narodi, stupajte u Dolinu Jošafat, jer ću ondje sjesti da sudim svim okolnim narodima.

Let the nations awake, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations from every side.

13 Hvatajte se srpa: ljetina je zrela. Ustanite, siđite: tijesak je pun, prelijevaju se kace, jer je velika zloća njihova.”

Put forth the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread down [the grapes]; for the press is full; the vats overflow; for great is their wickedness.

14 Mnoštvo, mnoštvo u Dolini Odluke! Da, blizu je dan Jahvin u Dolini Odluke!

Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision; for near is the day of the Lord in the valley of decision.

15 Sunce i mjesec pomrčaše, zvijezde potamnješe.

Sun and moon are obscured, and stars withdraw their brightness.

16 Jahve grmi sa Siona, glas diže iz Jeruzalema; nebo se i zemlja tresu. Ali je Jahve utočište svome narodu i zaštita sinovima Izraela.

And the Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and the heavens and the earth shall quake; but the Lord will be a refuge for his people, and a stronghold for 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 on Zion, my holy mount: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through 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 it came to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the ravines of Judah shall flow with water; and a spring shall come forth out 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 shall become a desolate land, and Edom shall become a desolate wilderness; because of the violence against the children of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood.

20 Judeja će dovijek biti naseljena i Jeruzalem u sva koljena.

But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 “Osvetit ću krv njihovu za koju se nisam još osvetio.” Jahve će dići Dom svoj na Sionu.

And I will avenge their blood that I have not yet avenged; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
