Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days and in that time, when I will have converted the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
quia ecce in diebus illis et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda et Hierusalem
2 I will gather all the Gentiles, and will lead them into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And there I will dispute with them over my people, and over Israel, my inheritance, for they have scattered them among the nations and have divided my land.
congregabo omnes gentes et deducam eas in valle Iosaphat et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo et hereditate mea Israhel quos disperserunt in nationibus et terram meam diviserunt
3 And they have cast lots over my people; and the boy they have placed in the brothel, and the girl they have sold for wine, so that they might drink.
et super populum meum miserunt sortem et posuerunt puerum in prostibulum et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent
4 Truly, what is there between you and me, Tyre and Sidon and all the distant places of the Philistines? How will you take vengeance on me? And if you were to revenge yourselves against me, I would deliver a repayment to you, quickly and soon, upon your head.
verum quid vobis et mihi Tyrus et Sidon et omnis terminus Palestinorum numquid ultionem vos redditis mihi et si ulciscimini vos contra me cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum
5 For you have carried away my silver and gold. And my desirable and most beautiful, you have taken into your shrines.
argentum enim meum et aurum tulistis et desiderabilia mea et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra
6 And you, sons of Judah and sons of Jerusalem, you have sold the sons of the Greeks, so that you might drive them far from their own territory.
et filios Iuda et filios Hierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis
7 Behold, I will raise them up from the place into which you have sold them, and I will turn back your retribution on your own head.
ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.
et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda et venundabunt eos Sabeis genti longinquae quia Dominus locutus est
9 Proclaim this among the Gentiles: “Sanctify a war, raise up the strong. Approach, ascend, all men of war.
clamate hoc in gentibus sanctificate bellum suscitate robustos accedant ascendant omnes viri bellatores
10 Cut your ploughs into swords and your hoes into spears. Let the weak say, ‘For I am strong.’
concidite aratra vestra in gladios et ligones vestros in lanceas infirmus dicat quia fortis ego sum
11 Break out and advance, all nations of the world, and gather together. There the Lord will cause all your strong ones to meet death.”
erumpite et venite omnes gentes de circuitu et congregamini ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos
12 Let them arise and ascend to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit, so as to judge all the nations of the world.
consurgant et ascendant gentes in vallem Iosaphat quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu
13 Send forth the sickles, because the harvest has matured. Advance and descend, for the press is full, the pressing room is overflowing. For their malice has been increasing.
mittite falces quoniam maturavit messis venite et descendite quia plenum est torcular exuberant torcularia quia multiplicata est malitia eorum
14 Nations, nations in the valley of being cut to pieces: for the day of the Lord fittingly takes place in the valley of being cut to pieces.
populi populi in valle concisionis quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis
15 The sun and the moon have been darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their splendor.
sol et luna obtenebricata sunt et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum
16 And the Lord will roar from Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth will be moved. And the Lord will be the hope of his people and the strength of the sons of Israel.
et Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et movebuntur caeli et terra et Dominus spes populi sui et fortitudo filiorum Israhel
17 And you will know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will not cross through it anymore.
et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion in monte sancto meo et erit Hierusalem sancta et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius
18 And it will happen, in that day, that the mountains will drip sweetness, and the hills will flow with milk. And the waters will pass through all the rivers of Judah. And a fountain will go forth from the house of the Lord, and it will irrigate the desert of thorns.
et erit in die illa stillabunt montes dulcedinem et colles fluent lacte et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae et fons de domo Domini egredietur et inrigabit torrentem Spinarum
19 Egypt will be in desolation, and Edom will be a wilderness destroyed, because of what they have unfairly done to the sons of Judah, and because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Aegyptus in desolatione erit et Idumea in desertum perditionis pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua
20 And Judea will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem for generation upon generation.
et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur et Hierusalem in generatione et generationem
21 And I will cleanse their blood, which I had not cleansed. And the Lord will remain in Zion.
et mundabo sanguinem eorum quem non mundaveram et Dominus commorabitur in Sion
