Joel 2
1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, wail on my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land be stirred up. For the day of the Lord is on its way; for it is near:
Popòho e Tsione ao ty antsiva, koiho an-kaboako miavake ey ty hazolava; ee te hihondrahondra iaby ondaty an-tane atoio, fa hitsatoke ty andro’ Iehovà; toe fa an-titotse;
2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and whirlwinds. Like the morning reaching over the mountains, they are a numerous and strong people. Nothing like them has existed since the beginning, nor will exist after them, even in the years of generation upon generation.
Andro maieñe naho mimoromoroñe, andro mandrahoñe naho aman-talinjo mihanake am-bohitsey manahake t’ie manjirik’andro; ondaty mifamorohotse naho fàtratse; mboe lia’e tsy niañ’ohatse; vaho le lia’e tsy ho limbezañe, ampara’ ty taon-tariratse maro añe.
3 Before their face is a devouring fire, and behind them is a burning flame. The land before them is like a lush garden, and behind them is a desolate desert, and there is no one who can escape them.
Mamorototo aolo’e eo ty afo, vaho mivoly ama’e ty soba miforehetse, ie hoe golobo’ i Edene ty aolo’e eo le liolio, mangoakoake ty amboho’e; tsy eo ty mahaborifitse ama’e.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and they will rush forward like horsemen.
Manahake o soavalao iereo, naho o mpiningi-tsoavalao, izay ty fitsondemboha’ iareo.
5 Like the sound of a four-horse chariot, they will leap over the tops of the mountains. Like the sound of a burning flame devouring stubble, they are as a strong people prepared for battle.
Manahake ty fitrakotrakon-tsarete mitrantràñe an-dengom-bohitse ey, hoe ty fikosisiha’ ty lel’afo mipilotse ahetse, naho ondaty maozatse miriritse hialy.
6 Before their face, the people will be tortured; each one’s appearance will retreat, as if into a jar.
Mampalorè ondatio te zoeñe; fonga mikò-foty o laharañeo.
7 They will rush forward, as if they were strong. Like valiant warriors, they will ascend the wall. The men will advance, each one on his own way, and they will not turn aside from their path.
Manahake o fanalolahio ty filaisa’ iareo, anganiha’ iareo o kijolio hoe lahin-defoñe, songa mandrodo amy lala’ey, tsy eo ty mivitsok’ am-pidadaña’e.
8 And each one will not hem in his brother; every one will walk in his own rough path. Moreover, they will drop through the breach and not be harmed.
Tsy mifampikititse iereo fa songa mitrokotroko amy lala’ey; aa ndra te mipenkañe ty singa ipaoha’e, ie tsy fere.
9 They will advance into the city; they will rush through the wall. They will scale the houses; they will go in through the windows, like a thief.
Herereafe’ ty rova, mirimatse an-drindriñe, manganike mb’anjomba ao; mitsoropoke an-dalan-kede hoe malaso.
10 Before their face, the earth has trembled, the heavens have been moved. The sun and moon have been obscured, and the stars have retracted their splendor.
Manginikinik’ aolo’e eo ty tane, miozoñozoñe o likerañeo; mikò-mainte i àndroy naho i volañey, le asita’ o vasiañeo o fimilemile’eo.
11 And the Lord has bestowed his voice before the face of his army. For its military camps are very numerous; for they are strong and they carry out his word. For the day of the Lord is great and so very terrible, and who can withstand it?
Mampipoña-piarañanañañe añatrefa’ o lahindefo’eo t’Iehovà; amy te ra’elahy o lahindefo’eo, fatratse o mañorike o tsara’eoo; toe jabajaba ty andro’ Iehovà vaho mampangebahebake, Ia ty mahafifeak’ ama’e?
12 Now, therefore, the Lord says: “Be converted to me with your whole heart, in fasting and weeping and mourning.”
Ie amy zao, hoe t’Iehovà, itoliho an-kaliforan’arofo, naho am-pililarañe, am-pirovetañe, vaho am-pangololoihañe.
13 And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and convert to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and merciful, patient and full of compassion, and steadfast despite ill will.
Mandrovita arofo fa tsy sikiñe, le mitoliha am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, fa matarike naho miferenaiñe, malaon-kaviñerañe naho ra’elahy an-kafatraram-pikokoañe, vaho teñene’e ty fametsahan-kankàñe.
14 Who knows if he might convert and forgive, and bequeath a blessing after him, a sacrifice and a libation to the Lord your God?
Ia ty mahafohiñe, hera hibalike re naho hiheve, vaho hamopoke fañanintsiñe am-boho’e eo, añengao mahakama naho enga-rano am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call an assembly.
Popoho e Tsione ao i antsivay, añamasiño lilitse, koiho ty fivory miavake;
16 Gather the people, sanctify the church, unite the elders, gather together the little ones and infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom depart from his bed, and the bride from her bridal chamber.
Atontono ondatio; hamasiño ty fivory, arokandrokaño o androanavio, atolaho o ajajao rekets’ o milomolomo am-patroao, ampiakaro an-kivoho’e i mpañengay, boak’ an-kiboho’e ao i enga-vaoy.
17 Between the vestibule and the altar, the priests, the ministers of the Lord, will weep, and they will say: “Spare, O Lord, spare your people. And do not bequeath your inheritance into disgrace, so that the nations would rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
Ehe te hiharovetse añivo’ i fizilihañey naho i kitreliy o mpisoroñe mpitoro’ Iehovào, hanao ty hoe: Ferenaiño ondati’oo, ry Iehovà, le ko atolo’o ho arinjeñeñe o lova’oo hamokafoka’ o kilakila’ ndatio; aa vaho akore t’ie hampiboele am’ondatio ty hoe: Aia t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo?
18 The Lord has been zealous for his land, and he has spared his people.
Nikirañe i tane’ey amy zao t’Iehovà, vaho ferenaiña’e ondati’eo,
19 And the Lord responded, and he said to his people: “Behold, I will send you grain and wine and oil, and you will again be filled with them. And I will no longer give you disgrace among the Gentiles.
Hanoiñe t’Iehovà hanao ty hoe am’ondati’eo: Ingo te hampañitrifeko ampemba vao naho divay vao vaho menake, haha-anjañe anahareo, le tsy hanoeko ho fañinjea’ o kilakila’ ondatio ka.
20 And he who is from the North, I will drive far from you. And I will expel him into an impassable land, and into the desert, with his face opposite the Eastern sea, and his furthest part towards the furthest sea. And his stench will ascend, and his rottenness will ascend, because he has acted arrogantly.
Fa hasitako lavitse anahareo o ‘ntavaratseo, naho haronjeko mb’an-tane harake naho bangìñe añe; hitolike mb’amy riak’ atiñanañey o mpiaolo’eo, naho o am-boli’eo mb’an-driak’ ahandrefañey, le hionjoñe ty imbo’e vaho hiambone ty fitrotrora’e, amy te ra’elahy o nanoe’eo.
21 Earth, do not be afraid. Exult and rejoice. For the Lord has great esteem for what he has done.
Ko hemban-drehe ry tane; mifalea naho mandià taroba; amy te fanjàka o fitoloña’ Iehovào.
22 Animals of the countryside, do not be afraid. For the beauty of the wilderness has sprung forth. For the tree has borne its fruit. The fig tree and the vine have bestowed their virtue.
Ko matahotse ry bibin-kivokeo; fa mbe haindoñindoñe o fiandrazañe am-patrambeio, mbe hamoa ty voa’e o hatae’eo, songa hamokatse ty sakoa naho ty vahe.
23 And you, sons of Zion, exult and rejoice in the Lord your God. For he has given you a teacher of justice, and he will make the early and the late rains descend to you, just as it was in the beginning.
Mirebeha ry ana’ i Tsioneo, mifalea am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, fa havantañañe ty mampahavy i ora-mafaitsey, toe hampahavia’e orañe, i aoloy naho i orañ’asotriy manahake te taolo.
24 And the threshing floors will be filled with grain, and the presses will overflow with wine and oil.
Ho lifotse ampemba o rihao, vaho handopatse divay naho menake o sajoao.
25 And I will repay you for the years which the locust, and the beetle, and the mildew, and the caterpillar consumed: my great strength which I sent upon you.
Havahako ama’ areo o taoñe nabotse’ o valalao, naho o maramboloo, naho o beañeo vaho o voan-taneo, i mpirai-lian-dahin-defoñe niraheko ama’ areoy.
26 And you will eat with enjoyment, and you will be satisfied, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked miracles with you, and my people will not be confounded forever.
Ho eneñe mahakama nahareo, toe ho anjañe, naho ho rengè’ areo ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, amy hasoa tsitantane nitoloña’ey; vaho tsy ho salatse ka ondatikoo.
27 And you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and I am the Lord your God, and there is no other, and my people will not be confounded forever.
Le ho fohi’ areo te añivo’ Israele ao iraho, le te Izaho, Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ro tsy aman-tovo’e, vaho tsy ho salatse ka ondatikoo.
28 And after this, it will happen that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your elders will dream dreams, and your youths will see visions.
Ie heneke zao, hadoako amy ze atao nofotse ty Troko; le hitoky o ana-dahio naho o anak’ampela’ areoo, naho hañinofy o androanavi’ areoo, vaho hahaoniñe aroñaroñe o ajalahi’ areoo;
29 Moreover, in those days I will pour out my spirit upon my servants and handmaids.
Le hailiko amo mpitoroñeo, naho amo anak’ ampatañeo ty Troko amy andro rezay.
30 And I will grant wonders in the sky and on earth: blood and fire and the vapor of smoke.
Hampiboahako raha tsitantane an-dindiñe ey, naho an-tane atoy, lio naho afo, vaho hatoeñe mijoala.
31 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall arrive.
Hafotetse ho ieñe i àndroy, naho ho lio i volañey, aolo ty fitotsaha’ i andro’ Iehovà jabajaba naho mampangebahebakey.
32 And it will happen that everyone who will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. For on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and in the remnant whom the Lord will call, there will be salvation, just as the Lord has said.
Ie amy zay, ho rombaheñe ze mikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà; fa hipolititse an-kaboa’ i Tsione ao naho e Ierosalaime ao ty ila’e amy nafè’ Iehovày, vaho ho kanjie’ Iehovà o sehanga’eo.
