Joel 3
1 Nebo aj, v těch dnech a v ten čas, když zase přivedu zajatý lid Judský a Jeruzalémský,
[Yahweh says this]: “At that time [DOU], I will enable [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to prosper again.
2 Shromáždím také všecky národy, a svedu je do údolí Jozafat, abych se tam soudil s nimi o lid svůj a dědictví své, Izraele, jejž rozptýlili mezi pohany a zemi mou rozdělili.
[Then] in the Valley of Judgment I will gather together [the people of] all the [other] nations; I will judge [and punish] them because they scattered my Israeli people and forced them to go to other countries. They divided up my land
3 Také o lid můj metali los, a dávali mládence za nevěstku, mladice pak prodávali za víno, aby pili.
and they (threw marked stones/cast lots) to determine who would get [each of] my people. Then they sold [some of] the Israeli boys and girls [to get money to pay] for prostitutes and wine to drink.
4 Anobrž, co vy máte proti mně, ó Tyrští a Sidonští, i všecky končiny Filistinské? Zdaliž se mi odplacujete? Jestliže mi se odplacujete, snadněť a vnáhleť i já obrátím odplatu vaši na hlavu vaši,
You [people of] [APO] Tyre and Sidon [cities] and [you people of] the Philistia [region], I certainly have not [RHQ] done anything to harm you! [So] if you are trying to get revenge on me, I will very quickly get revenge on you.
5 Kteříž stříbro mé i zlato mé béřete, a klénoty mé výborné vnášíte do chrámů svých,
You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
6 A syny Judské i syny Jeruzalémské prodáváte synům Javanovým, aby je pryč zavodili od pomezí jejich.
[You dragged away] the people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and you took them far away and sold them to people in Greece.
7 Aj, já vzbudím je z toho místa, kamž jste je prodali, a obrátím odplatu vaši na hlavu vaši.
But I will cause my people to want to return from the places to which you sold them, and I will do to you what you did to them.
8 Prodám zajisté syny i dcery vaše v moc synů Judských, i prodadí je Sabejským, do národu dalekého; neboť jest Hospodin mluvil.
Then I will cause [some of] your sons and your daughters to be sold to the people of Judah! And [some of] them will be sold to the Sabea people-group, who live far away. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
9 Provolejte to mezi národy, vyhlaste boj, probuďte reků, nechť přitáhnou, a dadí se najíti všickni muži váleční.
Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
10 Skujte motyky své v meče, a srpy své v oštípy; ten, kterýž jest mdlý, nechť řekne: Udatný jsem.
[Take] your plows and make swords from them, and [take] your pruning knives and make spears from them. [Even] the weak people must [also] be like [MET] [strong] soldiers.
11 Shromažďte se a přitáhněte všickni národové okolní, a shlukněte se; způsobiž to, ať tam sstoupí, ó Hospodine, rekové tvoji.
All you [people from the] nations that are near [Judah] must come quickly and gather [in the Valley of Judgment].” But Yahweh, [when that happens], send your army [of angels to attack them]!
12 Probudíť se a přitáhnou národové ti do údolé Jozafat; nebo tam se posadím, abych soudil všecky ty národy okolní.
The [people in] the nations near [Judah] must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment. There Yahweh will sit and judge [and punish] them.
13 Přičiňte srp, nebo uzralo obilé; poďte, sstupte, nebo plný jest pres, oplývají kádě; mnohá zajisté jest zlost jejich.
[They are like] [MET] crops that are ready to be harvested; so [strike them like] [MET] [a farmer] swings his sickle to cut the grain. They are like [MET] grapes that are piled high in the pits where they will be pressed; because they are very wicked, [punish them severely] [MET] now, like [MET] [a farmer] tramples on the grapes until the pits are full of juice.
14 Ale více hromad, hromad v údolí posekání; nebo blízký jest den Hospodinův, v údolí posekání.
[There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].
15 Slunce a měsíc zatmí se, a hvězdy potratí blesk svůj.
[At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
16 A Hospodin řváti bude z Siona, a z Jeruzaléma vydá hlas svůj, tak že se třásti budou nebesa i země; nebo Hospodin jest útočiště lidu svého, a síla synů Izraelských.
From Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem Yahweh will shout, and his voice will be like thunder, and his voice will cause the sky and the earth to shake. But Yahweh will protect [MET] his people; he will be like [MET] a strong wall behind which the people of Israel will be protected.
17 I zvíte, že já Hospodin jsem Bohem vaším, kterýž bydlím na Sionu, hoře svatosti své, a tak Jeruzalém bude svatý, a cizí nepůjdou přes něj více.
[Yahweh says], “At that time, you Israeli people will know that I am Yahweh, your God. I live on Zion, my sacred hill. Jerusalem will be a sacred [city], and [soldiers from] other countries will never conquer it again.
18 I stane se v ten čas, že hory dštíti budou mstem, a pahrbkové oplývati mlékem, a všickni potokové Judští budou plní vody, a studnice z domu Hospodinova vyjde, kteráž zapojí údolé Setim.
At that time, there will be vineyards covering [MTY] the hills, and [your cattle and goats on] those hills will produce plenty of milk. The streams in Judah will never dry up. And a stream will flow from my temple into the Acacia Valley [northeast of the Dead Sea].
19 Egypt na zpuštění přijde, a země Idumejská hrozně zpuštěna bude pro násilí synům Judským činěné; nebo vylévali krev nevinnou v zemi jejich.
[The armies of] Egypt and Edom attacked the people of Judah and killed [MTY] many people who had not done anything that was wrong. So [now] those countries will become deserts,
20 Juda pak na věky trvati bude, a Jeruzalém od národu do pronárodu.
but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
21 A očistím ty, jejichž jsem krve neočistil; nebo Hospodin přebývá na Sionu.
[I], Yahweh, live on Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], and I will get revenge on the people [of Egypt and Edom] who killed [MTY] [many of my people].”
