Joel 3

1 For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,

١ «لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،

2 I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

٢ أَجْمَعُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُنَزِّلُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدُوهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَقَسَمُوا أَرْضِي،

3 And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.

٣ وَأَلْقَوْا قُرْعَةً عَلَى شَعْبِي، وَأَعْطَوْا ٱلصَّبِيَّ بِزَانِيَةٍ، وَبَاعُوا ٱلْبِنْتَ بِخَمْرٍ لِيَشْرَبُوا.

4 And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,

٤ «وَمَاذَا أَنْتُنَّ لِي يَا صُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَجَمِيعَ دَائِرَةِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ هَلْ تُكَافِئُونَنِي عَنِ ٱلْعَمَلِ، أَمْ هَلْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِي شَيْئًا؟ سَرِيعًا بِٱلْعَجَلِ أَرُدُّ عَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ.

5 For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.

٥ لِأَنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ فِضَّتِي وَذَهَبِي، وَأَدْخَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ.

6 And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:

٦ وَبِعْتُمْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لِبَنِي ٱلْيَاوَانِيِّينَ لِكَيْ تُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِهِمْ.

7 See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;

٧ هَأَنَذَا أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُمُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَرُدُّ عَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ.

8 I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.

٨ وَأَبِيعُ بَنِيكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِيَدِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا لِيَبِيعُوهُمْ لِلسَّبَائِيِّينَ، لِأُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».

9 Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.

٩ نَادُوا بِهَذَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. قَدِّسُوا حَرْبًا. أَنْهِضُوا ٱلْأَبْطَالَ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

10 Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong.

١٠ اِطْبَعُوا سِكَّاتِكُمْ سُيُوفًا، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ رِمَاحًا. لِيَقُلِ ٱلضَّعِيفُ: «بَطَلٌ أَنَا!»

11 Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

١١ أَسْرِعُوا وَهَلُمُّوا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَٱجْتَمِعُوا. إِلَى هُنَاكَ أَنْزِلْ يَارَبُّ أَبْطَالَكَ.

12 Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.

١٢ «تَنْهَضُ وَتَصْعَدُ ٱلْأُمَمُ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، لِأَنِّي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لِأُحَاكِمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ.

13 Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.

١٣ أَرْسِلُوا ٱلْمِنْجَلَ لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. هَلُمُّوا دُوسُوا لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةُ. فَاضَتِ ٱلْحِيَاضُ لِأَنَّ شَرَّهُمْ كَثِيرٌ».

14 Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

١٤ جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ فِي وَادِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ.

15 The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.

١٥ اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ يَظْلُمَانِ، وَٱلنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا.

16 And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

١٦ وَٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ يُزَمْجِرُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ يُعْطِي صَوْتَهُ، فَتَرْجُفُ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَلْجَأٌ لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْنٌ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17 And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.

١٧ «فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، سَاكِنًا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي. وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلَا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا ٱلْأَعَاجِمُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

18 And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.

١٨ «وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تَقْطُرُ عَصِيرًا، وَٱلتِّلَالَ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا، وَجَمِيعَ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَفِيضُ مَاءً، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ وَيَسْقِي وَادِي ٱلسَّنْطِ.

19 Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.

١٩ مِصْرُ تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا، وَأَدُومُ تَصِيرُ قَفْرًا خَرِبًا، مِنْ أَجْلِ ظُلْمِهِمْ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَفَكُوا دَمًا بَرِيئًا فِي أَرْضِهِمْ.

20 But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

٢٠ وَلَكِنَّ يَهُوذَا تُسْكَنُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

21 And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.

٢١ وَأُبَرِّئُ دَمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».
