Joel 3
1 “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
Quia ecce in diebus illis, et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda, et Ierusalem:
2 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,
Congregabo omnes Gentes, et deducam eas in vallem Iosaphat: et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo, et hereditate mea Israel, quos disperserunt in nationibus, et terram meam diviserunt.
3 and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
Et super populum meum miserunt sortem: et posuerunt puerum in prostibulo, et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent.
4 “Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
Verum quid mihi et vobis Tyrus et Sidon, et omnis terminus Palaesthinorum? numquid ultionem vos reddetis mihi? et si ulciscimini vos contra me, cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum.
5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
Argentum enim meum, et aurum tulistis: et desiderabilia mea, et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra.
6 and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
Et filios Iuda, et filios Ierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum, ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.
7 Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco, in quo vendidistis eos: et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.
8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it.”
Et vendam filios vestros, et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda, et venundabunt eos Sabaeis genti longinquae, quia Dominus locutus est.
9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
Clamate hoc in Gentibus, sanctificate bellum, suscitate robustos: accedant, ascendant omnes viri bellatores.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’
Concidite aratra vestra in gladios, et ligones vestros in lanceas. Infirmus dicat: Quia fortis ego sum.
11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
Erumpite, et venite omnes gentes de circuitu, et congregamini: ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.
12 “Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
Consurgant, et ascendant Gentes in vallem Iosaphat: quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu.
13 Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
Mittite falces, quoniam maturavit messis: venite, et descendite, quia plenum est torcular, exuberant torcularia: quia multiplicata est malitia eorum.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Populi populi in valle concisionis: quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum.
16 The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
Et Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et movebuntur caeli, et terra: et Dominus spes populi sui, et fortitudo filiorum Israel.
17 “So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion monte sancto meo. et erit Ierusalem sancta, et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius.
18 It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; and a fountain will flow out from the LORD’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.
Et erit in die illa: stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et colles fluent lacte: et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae: et fons de domo Domini egredietur, et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.
19 Egypt will be a desolation and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Aegyptus in desolationem erit, et Idumaea in desertum perditionis: pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda, et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur, et Ierusalem in generatione et generationem.
21 I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram: et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.
