Joel 3
1 “Jer, gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme, kad okrenem udes Judeji i Jeruzalemu,
For behold, in those days and at that time, When I shall bring back the captives 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.
I will assemble all the nations, And will bring them down it to the valley of Jehoshaphat, And there will I contend with them for my people and inheritance, Israel; Because they scattered them among the nations, And divided my land among themselves.
3 Baciše ždrijeb za moj narod; davali su dječake za bludnice, djevojke prodavali za vino i pili.”
Yea, they cast lots for my people, And gave a boy for a harlot, And sold a damsel for wine to drink.
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.
What have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all the borders of Philistia? Will ye retaliate on me? Or will ye do anything against me? Swiftly and speedily will I bring back your doings upon your own head.
5 Na vas što mi oteste srebro i zlato, što odnesoste bogate mi riznice u svoje hramove,
Ye have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried into your palaces my precious, goodly things;
6 na vas koji prodavaste Grcima sinove Jude i Jeruzalema da biste ih otjerali od domovine njihove.
The sons also of Judah, and the sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the Grecians, That ye might remove them far 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.
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, And I will return your injury upon your own head;
8 Prodat ću vaše sinove i kćeri sinovima Judinim, a oni će ih prodat' Sabejcima, daleku narodu. Jer Jahve reče!”
I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation afar off; For Jehovah 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! Stir up the mighty ones! Let all the warriors draw near; let them come up!”
10 Prekujte raonike u mačeve, kosire u koplja, nek' slabić kaže: “Junak sam!”
Beat your ploughshares into swords, And your pruning-hooks into spears; Let the weak say, I am strong!
11 Pohitajte i dođite, svi okolni narodi, i ondje se saberite! (Jahve, onamo pošalji svoje junake!)
Assemble yourselves and come, all ye nations round about; Gather yourselves together! Thither, O Jehovah, bring down thy mighty ones!
12 “Budite se, narodi, stupajte u Dolinu Jošafat, jer ću ondje sjesti da sudim svim okolnim narodima.
Let the nations rise and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat! For there will I sit to judge all the nations around.
13 Hvatajte se srpa: ljetina je zrela. Ustanite, siđite: tijesak je pun, prelijevaju se kace, jer je velika zloća njihova.”
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; Come and tread, for the wine-press is full; The vats overflow; For their wickedness is great!
14 Mnoštvo, mnoštvo u Dolini Odluke! Da, blizu je dan Jahvin u Dolini Odluke!
The multitudes, the multitudes in the valley of judgment! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of judgment.
15 Sunce i mjesec pomrčaše, zvijezde potamnješe.
The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining.
16 Jahve grmi sa Siona, glas diže iz Jeruzalema; nebo se i zemlja tresu. Ali je Jahve utočište svome narodu i zaštita sinovima Izraela.
Jehovah also will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and the earth shall shake. But Jehovah will be a refuge to his people! A strong-hold to the sons 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.”
Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; And Jerusalem shall be holy; Strangers shall pass through her no 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.
In that day shall the mountains drop down new wine, And the hills shall flow with milk. And all the streams of Judah shall flow with water. A fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, That 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 be a waste, And Edom a desolate wilderness, For their violence against the sons of Judah; For they shed innocent blood in their land.
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, which I have not avenged, And Jehovah will dwell upon Zion.
