Joel 3
1 “E ndalogo kendo e sano, ka anadwok ni Juda gi Jerusalem mwandugi mane olalnegi.
“For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah 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.
Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been in judgment with them there, Concerning My people and My inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
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 for My people they cast a lot, And they give the young man for a harlot, And have sold the young woman for wine, That they may drink.
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 also, what [are] you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Are you rendering repayment to Me? And if you are giving repayment to Me, Swiftly, quickly, I return your repayment on your head.
5 Nimar usekawo fedha gi dhahabu mara, kendo usedar gi mwanduga mabeyo mogik e hekalu mau.
In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
6 Ne uuso jo-Juda gi Jerusalem ne jo-Yunani, eka utergi mabor gi pinygi mane onywolgie.
And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, You have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
7 “Neuru, abiro wakogi ka agologi kuonde mane uusogie, kendo naket e wiwu uwegi gima usetimo.
Behold, I am stirring them up out of the place To where you have sold them, And I have turned back your repayment on your head,
8 Abiro miyo jo-Juda ngʼiewo yawuotu, gin to giniusgi ne jo-Sabea, ma en piny mabor miwuoro,” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Sabeans, To a nation far off, for YHWH has spoken.”
9 Landuru wachni e dier pinje, Ikreuru ne lweny! Jolweny magu duto oikre ne kedo! Jokedo duto mondo osudre machiegni mondo gitug lweny.
Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the 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 to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
11 Biuru piyo, un ogendini duto moa kuonde duto, mondo uchokru kanyo. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye kel jokedo magi olor kanyo!
Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
12 “Pinje mondo owakre, gichom Holo mar Jehoshafat, nikech anabed kanyo mondo angʼad bura ne pinje duto moa koni gi koni.
“Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
13 Runduru musmeno, nikech cham ochiek. Biuru, unyon yiend Zeituni nikech kar biyo mzabibu opongʼ, kendo degni opongʼ mopukore. Mano kaka timbegi maricho dongo!”
Send forth a sickle, For harvest has ripened, Come in, come down, for the press has been filled, Winepresses have overflowed, For great [is] their wickedness.”
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.
Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
15 Chiengʼ gi dwe nolokre mudho, kendo sulwe ok nochak orieny.
Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
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 YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and earth have shaken, And YHWH [is] a refuge to His people, And a stronghold to sons 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 have known that I [am] your God YHWH, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem has been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.”
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 has come to pass in that day, The mountains drop down juice, And the hills flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of YHWH goes forth, And has watered the Valley of Shittim.
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 becomes a desolation, And Edom becomes a desolation, a wilderness, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
20 Juda nobed kama ji odakie nyaka chiengʼ kendo Jerusalem bende tienge gi tienge.
And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
21 Kethogi mar chwero remo mapok aweyonegi, abiro weyonegi.”
And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
