< Joel 2 >

1 Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;
Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken pagunienyo ti tangguyob iti nasantoan a bantayko! Agpigerger koma iti buteng dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga, ta umadanin ti aldaw ni Yahweh; pudno nga asidegen daytoy.
2 For a day of dark and deep shade is near, a day of cloud and black night: like a black cloud a great and strong people is covering the mountains; there has never been any like them and will not be after them again, from generation to generation.
Daytoy ket aldaw iti kinasipnget ken kinalidem, aldaw a naulep ken nalulem. Kas iti parbangon nga agsaknap kadagiti bantay, sumungsungaden ti dakkel ken nabileg nga armada. Awan pay ti armada a kas iti daytoy, ken awanton ti kastoy, uray kalpasan iti adu a henerasion.
3 Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.
Ikiskisap ti apuy ti amin a banag iti sangoananna, ken adda gil-ayab iti likudan. Ti daga ket kas iti minoyungan ti Eden iti sangoananna, ngem iti likudanna ket adda iti nadadael a let-ang. Pudno, awanto ti makalibas iti daytoy.
4 Their form is like the form of horses, and they are running like war-horses.
Kasla kabalio ti langa ti armada, ken kasla kumakabalio ti panagtarayda.
5 Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.
Kumaradakad ti panaglagtoda a kasla kadagiti karuahe iti tuktok dagiti bantay, kasla iti uni ti gumilgil-ayab nga apuy a mangikiskisap iti garami, kasla iti nabileg nga armada a nakasagana a makigubat.
6 At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.
Iti isusungadda, agbuteng dagiti tattao ken pummusyaw dagiti rupada.
7 They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.
Ti panagtarayda ket kasla iti nabileg a mannakigubat; kumalay-atda kadagiti pader a kasla kadagiti soldado; agmarmartsada, aggigiddan ti addangda, ken naurnos dagiti linyada.
8 No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.
Awan ti agdidinnuron; agmarmartsa ti tunggal maysa iti dalanna; lumasatda kadagiti sarikedked ket saan a madadael ti linyada.
9 They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.
Sipapardasda a mangraut iti siudad, tumarayda kadagiti pader, kumalay-atda kadagiti babbalay, ket sumrekda kadagiti tawa a kasla kadagiti agtatakaw.
10 The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:
Agkintayeg ti daga iti sangoananda, agpigerger dagiti langit, simmepnget ti init ken bulan, ken saanen nga agraniag dagiti bituen.
11 And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?
Binilin ni Yahweh ti armadana, ta nagadu unay dagiti mannakigubatna ken nabilegda, dagiti agtungtungpal kadagiti bilbilinna. Ta kasta unay a nakabutbuteng ti aldaw ni Yahweh. Siasino ngay koma ti makalasat iti daytoy?
12 But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Ngem uray pay ita, agsublikayo kaniak iti amin a pusoyo. Agayunar, agsangit, ken agladingitkayo.”
13 Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.
Ipakitayo ti sipupuso a panagbabawiyo ken saan laeng nga iti panangray-abyo kadagiti kawesyo, ket agsublikayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Ta naasi ken managparabur isuna, saan a nalaka nga agunget ngem ketdi napnoan iti ayat, ken saannatayo koma a kayat a dusaen.
14 May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
Siasino ngay koma ti makaammo? No ngay agbaliw ti pangngeddengna ket maasian isuna, ken mangted isuna kadagiti bendision, daton a bukbukel ken daton a mainum nga agpaay kenni Yahweh a Diosyo?
15 Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:
Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken agayunarkayo, ket mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong.
16 Get the people together, make the mass of the people holy, send for the old men, get together the children and babies at the breast: let the newly married man come out of his room and the bride from her tent.
Ummongenyo dagiti tattao, mang-angaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong. Ummongenyo dagiti panglakayen, ummongenyo dagiti ubbing, ken dagiti maladaga. Paruarenyo dagiti nobio kadagiti siledda ken paruarenyo dagiti nobia kadagiti siled a pagur-urayanda iti seremonia ti kasar.
17 Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
Agsangit koma dagiti papadi nga agserserbi kenni Yahweh iti nagbaetan ti pagserkan ken ti altar. Kunaenda koma, “O Yahweh, kaasiam dagiti tattaom ket saanmo nga ipalubos a maibabain dagiti tattaom a maiyarig a tawidmo, ket iturayan ida dagiti nasion. Apay nga ibaga dagiti nasion, ayanna ngayen ti Diosda?''
18 Then the Lord had a care for the honour of his land and had pity on his people.
Kalpasanna, impakita ni Yahweh ti panangipategna iti dagana ket kinaasianna dagiti tattaona.
19 And the Lord made answer and said to his people, See, I will send you grain and wine and oil in full measure: and I will no longer let you be shamed among the nations:
Insungbat ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona: “Adtoy, ikkankayo kadagiti bukel, baro nga arak, ken lana. Mapnekkayonto kadagitoy, ken saankonton nga itulok a maibabainkayo kadagiti nasion.
20 I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.
Ipanawkonto kadakayo dagiti mangdarup a naggapu iti amianan, ket iturongko ida iti namaga ken langalang a daga. Agturong dagiti akin-sango nga armadada iti baybay iti daya, ken ti akinlikud nga armada iti baybay iti laud. Umalingasawdanto ken sumngawto dagiti bangsitda. Agaramidakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
21 Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.
Saanka nga agbuteng, daga, agragsak ken agrag-oka, ta nagaramid ni Yahweh kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
22 Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.
Saankayo nga agbuteng, dakayo nga atap nga ay-ayup iti tay-ak, ta agtubonto dagiti ruruot iti pagaraban kadagiti let-ang, agbunganto dagiti kaykayo, ket umadunto ti apit kadagiti igos ken ubas.
23 Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and have joy in the Lord your God: for he gives you food in full measure, making the rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as at the first.
Agragsakayo, tattao ti Sion, ken agrag-okayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Ta pagtuduennanto iti umno a tiempo ket agbayakabak ti tudo para kadakayo, ti tudo iti tiempo ti panagrurusing ken tiempo ti panagregreg iti bulong a kas idi damo.
24 And the floors will be full of grain, and the crushing-places overflowing with wine and oil.
Mapnonto iti trigo dagiti pagirikan, ken aglippiasto dagiti pagkargaan iti baro nga arak ken lana.
25 I will give back to you the years which were food for the locust, the plant-worm, the field-fly, and the worm, my great army which I sent among you.
“Isublikto kadakayo dagiti mula nga inay-aywananyo iti adu a tawen a kinnan dagiti nagsasaruno a pangen dagiti dudon, ti nabileg nga armadak nga imbaonko kadakayo.
26 You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:
Mangankayonto iti adu ket mabsogkayo, ken dayawenyo ti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosyo a nagaramid kadagiti nakaskasdaaw kadakayo. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
27 And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.
Maammoanyonto nga addaak iti Israel, ket Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken awanen ti sabali. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
28 And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:
Iti mabiit, ibukbukkonto ti Espirituk kadagiti amin a lasag, ket agipadtonto dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai. Agtagtagainepto dagiti panglakayenyo, makakitanto iti sirmata dagiti agtutuboyo a lallaki.
29 And on the servants and the servant-girls in those days I will send my spirit.
Kadagidiay nga aldaw, ibukbukkonto met ti Espirituk kadagiti adipen a lallaki ken babbai.
30 And I will let wonders be seen in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
Mangipakitaakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw iti langit ken iti daga, dara, apuy ken dagiti adigi nga asuk.
31 The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.
Sumipngetto ti init ken lumabbaganto ti bulan a kasla iti dara, sakbay a dumteng ti nakabutbuteng unay nga aldaw ni Yahweh.
32 And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.
Iti dayta a tiempo, maisalakanto dagiti amin nga umawag iti nagan ni Yahweh. Ta addanto dagiti makalasat idiay Bantay Sion ken idiay Jerusalem, a kas imbaga ni Yahweh, ket makalasatto dagiti pinili ni Yahweh.
