< Joel 1 >

1 The word of Jehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Joel a putot ni Petuel.
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo a panglakayen, ken dumngegkayo, dakayo amin nga agnanaed iti daga. Adda kadin kastoy a napasamak iti panawenyo wenno iti panawen dagiti kapuonanyo?
3 Tell ye your sons of it, and let your sons tell their sons, and their sons another generation.
Ibagayo kadagiti annakyo ti maipapan iti daytoy, ken ibaganto met dagiti annakyo kadagiti annakda, ken ibaganto met dagiti annakda kadagiti sumaruno a henerasion.
4 That which the palmer-worm has left the locust has eaten, and that which the locust has left the canker-worm has eaten, and that which the canker-worm has left the caterpillar has eaten.
Nagsasaruno a pangen ti dudon ti immay nangan kadagiti mula, ti natda ti umuna a pangen dagiti dudon, kinnan dagiti simmaruno a pangen dagiti dudon.
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
Agriingkayo, dakayo a mammartek, ket agsangitkayo! Aganug-ogkayo, dakayo amin a managinum iti arak, gapu ta naibusankayon kadagiti nasam-it nga arak.
6 For a nation has come up upon my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the jaw-teeth of a lioness.
Ta adda nasion a nangraut iti dagak, nabileg ken saan a mabilang. Dagiti ngipenna ket kas kadagiti ngipen ti leon, ken addaan isuna iti ngipen ti babai a leon.
7 He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree. He has made it clean bare, and cast it away. The branches of it are made white.
Pinagbalinna ti kaubasak a nakabutbuteng a lugar ken inukkisanna dagiti kayok nga igos. Inukkisanna sana imbelleng dagitoy; pimmuraw dagiti sangada.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Agladingitkayo a kas iti maysa a birhen a nagkawes iti nakersang a lupot gapu iti ipapatay ti pakayasawaanna.
9 The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah. The priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.
Naibusen ti daton a bukel ken daton a mainum iti balay ni Yahweh. Nagladingit dagiti papadi nga adipen ni Yahweh.
10 The field is laid waste; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
Nadadaelen dagiti taltalon, ket agladladingit ti daga. Ta nadadaelen dagiti bukbukel, natianan ti baro nga arak, ken nabangles ti lana.
11 Be confounded, O ye husbandmen. Wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley, for the harvest of the field is perished.
Agbainkayo, dakayo a mannalon, ken aganug-ogkayo, dakayo a mangay-aywan iti kaubasan, gapu iti trigo ken sebada. Ta nadadael ti apit kadagiti taltalon.
12 The vine is withered, and the fig tree languishes. The pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field are withered. For joy has withered away from the sons of men.
Nalaylay dagiti lanut ken nagango dagiti kayo nga igos, dagiti kayo a granada, kasta met dagiti kayo a palma, ken dagiti kayo a mansanas- nalaylay amin a kayo iti talon. Ta napukawen ti rag-o dagiti kaputotan ti sangkataoan.
13 Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, ye priests. Wail, ye ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God. For the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
Agkaweskayo iti nakersang a lupot ket agladingitkayo, dakayo a papadi! Aganug-ogkayo, dakayo nga agserserbi iti altar. Umaykayo, agiddakayo nga agpatpatnag a sikakawes iti nakersang a lupot, dakayo nga adipen ti Diosko. Ta naibusen dagiti daton a bukbukel ken dagiti daton a mainum iti balay ti Diosyo.
14 Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the old men and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Jehovah your God, and cry to Jehovah.
Mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a panagayunar, ket mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong. Ummongenyo dagiti panglakayen ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga iti balay ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket umasugkayo kenni Yahweh.
15 Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is at hand, and it shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
Anian a nakabutbuteng nga aldaw! Ta umadanin ti aldaw ni Yahweh. Iti daytoy nga aldaw, iyegto ti Mannakabalin-amin ti pannakadadael.
16 Is not the food cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Saan kadi a napukawen dagiti taraon iti imatangtayo, ken naawanen ti rag-o ken ragsak iti balay ti Diostayo?
17 The seeds rot under their clods. The garners are laid desolate. The barns are broken down. For the grain is withered.
Nalungtot dagiti bukel kadagiti nakaimulaanda, naibusen ti naggian dagiti sarusa ken narban dagiti kamalig, ta nalaylay dagiti mula.
18 How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because they have no pasture, yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
Anian ti panagasug dagiti ayup! Agsagsagaba dagiti arban ti baka gapu ta awan ti pagarabanda. Agsagsagaba met dagiti arban dagiti karnero.
19 O Jehovah, to thee do I cry. For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
O, Yahweh, umas-asugak kenka. Ta inkisap ti apuy dagiti pagpaaraban idiay let-ang, ken inuram ti gil-ayab dagiti amin a kayo kadagiti tay-ak.
20 Yea, the beasts of the field pant to thee, for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Uray pay dagiti ayup iti tay-ak ket agpakpakaasi kenka, ta natianan dagiti waig ken inkisap ti apuy dagiti pagpaaraban idiay let-ang.
