Joel 3
1 “Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity,
Quia ecce in diebus illis, et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda, et Ierusalem:
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.
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 They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.
Et super populum meum miserunt sortem: et posuerunt puerum in prostibulo, et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent.
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.
Verum quid mihi et vobis Tyrus et Sidon, et omnis terminus Palæsthinorum? numquid ultionem vos reddetis mihi? et si ulciscimini vos contra me, cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum.
5 For you took My silver and gold and carried off My finest treasures to your temples.
Argentum enim meum, et aurum tulistis: et desiderabilia mea, et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.
Et filios Iuda, et filios Ierusalem vendidistis filiis Græcorum, ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.
7 Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.
Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco, in quo vendidistis eos: et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.
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.
Et vendam filios vestros, et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda, et venundabunt eos Sabæis genti longinquæ, quia Dominus locutus est.
9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!
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 Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.
Erumpite, et venite omnes gentes de circuitu, et congregamini: ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.
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.
Consurgant, et ascendant Gentes in vallem Iosaphat: quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu.
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.
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 moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.
Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellæ retraxerunt splendorem suum.
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.
Et Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et movebuntur cæli, et terra: et Dominus spes populi sui, et fortitudo filiorum Israel.
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.
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 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.
Et erit in die illa: stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et colles fluent lacte: et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquæ: et fons de domo Domini egredietur, et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.
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.
Ægyptus in desolationem erit, et Idumæa 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 Iudæa in æternum habitabitur, et Ierusalem in generationem et generationem.
21 For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged.”
Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram: et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.
