Joel 3
1 “E ndalogo kendo e sano, ka anadwok ni Juda gi Jerusalem mwandugi mane olalnegi.
For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,
2 Abiro choko pinje duto mi akelgi mwalo e Holo mar paw Jehoshafat. Kanyono ema anangʼad nigi e bura, kuom girkeni mara, ma gin joga ma jo-Israel, nikech negikeyo joga e kind pinje kendo gikawo pinya gipogo.
I will also gather all the Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed among the Gentiles; and [these Gentiles] have divided my land,
3 Negigoyo ombulu kuom joga kendo negiloko ohala mar hono yawuowi ka giwilo gi ochode; nyiri to negiuso ka giwilo gi divai, mondo gimadhi.
and cast lots over my people, and have given [their] boys to harlots, and sold [their] girls for wine, and have drunk.
4 “Yaye, jo-Turo gi jo-Sidon, kod joma odak e gwenge mag Filistia, ulawa nangʼo? Koso uchulona kuor nikech gimoro masetimo? Ka uchulona kuor to abiro dwoko timbeu e wiwu uwegi kuom gima usetimo moruyore kendo mapiyo.
And what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles? do you render me a recompense? or do you bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:
5 Nimar usekawo fedha gi dhahabu mara, kendo usedar gi mwanduga mabeyo mogik e hekalu mau.
because you have taken my silver and my gold, and you have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;
6 Ne uuso jo-Juda gi Jerusalem ne jo-Yunani, eka utergi mabor gi pinygi mane onywolgie.
and you have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that you might expel them from their coasts.
7 “Neuru, abiro wakogi ka agologi kuonde mane uusogie, kendo naket e wiwu uwegi gima usetimo.
Therefore, behold, I [will] raise them up out of the place whither you have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.
8 Abiro miyo jo-Juda ngʼiewo yawuotu, gin to giniusgi ne jo-Sabea, ma en piny mabor miwuoro,” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken [it].
9 Landuru wachni e dier pinje, Ikreuru ne lweny! Jolweny magu duto oikre ne kedo! Jokedo duto mondo osudre machiegni mondo gitug lweny.
Proclaim these things among the Gentiles; declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all you men of war.
10 Thedhuru kwe mau olokre ligengni, to rabeti mau obed tonge. Ngʼat ma ngoro mondo owach niya, “An gi teko!”
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your sickles into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Biuru piyo, un ogendini duto moa kuonde duto, mondo uchokru kanyo. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye kel jokedo magi olor kanyo!
Gather yourselves together, and go in, all you nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the timid become a warrior.
12 “Pinje mondo owakre, gichom Holo mar Jehoshafat, nikech anabed kanyo mondo angʼad bura ne pinje duto moa koni gi koni.
Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.
13 Runduru musmeno, nikech cham ochiek. Biuru, unyon yiend Zeituni nikech kar biyo mzabibu opongʼ, kendo degni opongʼ mopukore. Mano kaka timbegi maricho dongo!”
Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread [the grapes], for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.
14 Mano oganda maduongʼ manade, mano kaka gingʼeny ka ginie holo ma en kar ngʼado bura! Nikech odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye chiegni chopo e holo mar ngʼado paro.
Noises have resounded in the valley of judgment: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgment.
15 Chiengʼ gi dwe nolokre mudho, kendo sulwe ok nochak orieny.
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
16 Jehova Nyasaye noruti koa Sayun kendo nomor koa Jerusalem. Piny gi Polo noyiengni; to Jehova Nyasaye nobed kar pondo mar joge; nobed ragengʼ ne jo-Israel.
And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.
17 “Eka unungʼe ni An, Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, adak e Sayun, goda maler. Jerusalem nobed kama ler, ogendini mamoko ok nochak omonje kendo.
And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwell in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her anymore.
18 “Odiechiengʼno divai manyien nochwer kawuok ewi gode; kendo chak nomol kawuok ewi thuche, holo mag pi nopongʼ chuth. Soko nomol koa e od Jehova Nyasaye kendo pi moaye sokono biro mol e holo mar Shitim.
And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the fountains of Juda shall flow with water, and a fountain shall go forth of the house of the Lord, and water the valley of flags.
19 Misri nobed piny ma ji odar oweyo, kendo Edom nobed piny ongoro maonge tich, nikech timbe mahundu mane otimone jo-Juda, mane gichweroe remo maonge ketho e pinygi.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea shall be a desolate plain, because of the wrongs of the children of Juda, because they have shed righteous blood in their land.
20 Juda nobed kama ji odakie nyaka chiengʼ kendo Jerusalem bende tienge gi tienge.
But Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.
21 Kethogi mar chwero remo mapok aweyonegi, abiro weyonegi.”
And I will make inquisition for their blood, and will by no means leave it unavenged: and the Lord shall dwell in Sion.
