Joel 3
1 “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
“Mumazuva iwayo, napanguva iyoyo, kana ndichinge ndadzosa pfuma yeJudha neyeJerusarema,
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,
ndichaunganidza ndudzi dzose ndigoenda nadzo kuMupata waJehoshafati. Ipapo ndichavatonga nokuda kwenhaka yangu, vanhu vangu vaIsraeri, nokuti vakaparadzira vanhu vangu pakati pendudzi, uye vakagovana nyika yangu.
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.
Vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pavanhu vangu, vakatsinhanisa vakomana nezvifeve; vakatengesa vanasikana kuti vagotenga waini yokuti vanwe.
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.
“Zvino ndakakutadzirai chiiko, imi Tire neSidhoni, nemi matunhu ose eFiristia? Muri kundiripira chimwe chinhu chandakaita here? Zvino kana muchindiripira, ini ndichadzosera zvamakaita pamisoro yenyu chaiyo nokukurumidza chaizvo.
5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
Nokuti makatora sirivha negoridhe rangu, mukatakurawo midziyo yangu yakanakisisa mukandoiisa kutemberi dzenyu.
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.
Makatengesa vanhu veJudha neveJerusarema kuvaGiriki kuti muvaendese kure.
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;
“Tarirai, ini ndichavamutsa kubva kunzvimbo dzamakavatengesera, uye ndichadzosera pamisoro yenyu chaiyo zvamakaita.
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.”
Ndichatengesa vanakomana navanasikana venyu kuvanhu veJudha, uye vachavatengesa kuvaShebha, rudzi rwuri kure.” Jehovha ataura.
9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
Paridzirai izvi kundudzi dzose: Gadzirirai hondo! Mutsai varwi! Varwi vose ngavaswedere pedyo varwise.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’
Pfurai mapadza enyu muaite minondo, uye mapanga okuchekerera miti muaite mapfumo. Asina simba ngaati, “Ndine simba!”
11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
Uyai nokukurumidza, imi ndudzi dzose, kubva kumativi ose mugoungana ipapo. Haiwa Jehovha, burutsai varwi venyu.
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.
“Ndudzi dzose ngadzimutswe; ngadziende kuMupata waJehoshafati, nokuti ipapo ndipo pandichagara pasi kuti nditonge ndudzi dzose kumativi ose enyika.
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.”
Shandisai jeko, nokuti gohwo raibva. Uyai musvine mazambiringa netsoka dzenyu, nokuti chisviniro chazara, uye zvirongo zvopfachukira, uku ndiko kukura kwakaita kuipa kwavo.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Vazhinji zhinji, vazhinji zhinji, vari mumupata wokutonga. Nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedyo mumupata wokutonga.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Zuva nomwedzi zvichasviba uye nyeredzi dzichadzima.
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.
Jehovha achaomba paZioni, uye achatinhira ari muJerusarema; denga nenyika zvichadedera. Asi Jehovha achava utiziro hwavanhu vake, nhare yavanhu veIsraeri.
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.
“Ipapo muchaziva kuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, ndinogara muZioni, gomo rangu dzvene. Jerusarema richava dzvene; vatorwa havachazorirwisazve.
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.
“Pazuva iroro makomo achachururuka waini itsva, uye zvikomo zvichaerera mukaka; hova dzose dzomuJudha dzichaerera mvura. Chitubu chichaerera chichibva muimba yaJehovha, uye chichadiridzira mupata wemiti yemiunga.
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.
Asi Ijipiti ichava dongo, Edhomu ichava gwenga risina basa, nokuda kwokurwiswa kwakaitwa vanhu veJudha, vakateura ropa risina mhosva munyika yavo.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
MuJudha muchagara vanhu nokusingaperi, uye nomuJerusarema kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.
21 I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
Mhosva yavo yeropa yandisina kuregerera, ndichairegerera,
