Joel 3
1 “Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity,
看，在那些日子，在那個時候，當我轉變猶大和耶路撒冷的命運時，
2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.
我必聚集萬民，領他們下到約沙法特山谷，在那裏我要關於我的，我的基業以色列，審問他們，因為他們使我的百姓散居在異民中，且瓜分了我的土地，
3 They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.
為我的百姓捸了籤，以男童換取淫婦，賣掉女童，換洒買醉。
4 Now what do you have against Me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering against Me a recompense? If you retaliate against Me, I will swiftly and speedily return your recompense upon your heads.
提洛、漆冬和培肋舍特所有的地域! 你們想對我做什麼﹖你們想對我施行報復嗎﹖若你們向我報復，我立刻將你們的作為歸在你們的頭上，
5 For you took My silver and gold and carried off My finest treasures to your temples.
因為你們奪去了我的金銀，將我的珍寶帶到你們的宮中；
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.
又將猶大子民和耶路撒冷子民賣給雅汪人，使他們遠離自己的祖國。
7 Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.
看，不拘你們把他們出賣到什麼城邑和地方，我必要使他們從那裏回來，卻把你們所做的，歸在你們頭上：
8 I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans—to a distant nation.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.
將你們的兒女賣在猶大子民的手裏，使他們再轉賣給遠方的舍巴人，因為上主這樣說了。
9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!
你們要在異民中宣布：準備聖戰，激勵勇士! 一切戰士應前進襲擊!
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’
將你們的犁頭鑄成刀劍，將你們的鐮刀鑄成長槍；連者也要說：我是個戰士!
11 Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.
四周的異民! 你們急速前來，在這裏聚合。上主，使你的勇士降臨吧!
12 Let the nations be roused and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the nations on every side.
異民，起來，前往約沙法特山谷，因為我要在那裏坐堂，審訊四周的一切異民。
13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because their wickedness is great.
伸出鐮刀，因為莊稼已成熟；前來踐踏! 因為洒榨已溢出，因為他們已惡貫滿盈。
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
成群結隊的人齊集在審判谷，因為上主的日子已臨近了審判谷。
15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.
太陽和月亮昏暗了，星辰失去了光芒。
16 The LORD will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.
上主從熙雍怒吼，從耶路撒冷發出自己的聲音，天地為之震動；但上主卻是自己百姓的避難所，是以色列子民的堡壘。
17 Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy, never again to be overrun by foreigners.
那時，他們必要知道：我上主是你們的天主，我住在熙雍，我的聖山上。那時，耶路撒冷必要成為聖地，外人再不能從那裏經過。
18 And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk. All the streams of Judah will run with water, and a spring will flow from the house of the LORD to water the Valley of Acacias.
到了那一天，山嶽必要滴下新洒，丘陵必要流下乳汁，猶大的一切河流必要湧流清水；從上主的殿裏，將有一清泉流出，澆灌史庭山谷。
19 Egypt will become desolate, and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.
埃及將變成荒地，厄東將成為曠野，因為他們虐待了判斷子民，在他們的境內傾流了無辜者的血。
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
但猶大永遠有人居住，耶路撒冷也世世代代有人居住。
21 For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged.”
我必要追討坰未追討的債血；因為上主住在熙雍。
