< Joel 3 >
1 For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall turn again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
“Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti ní àkókò náà, nígbà tí èmi tún mú ìgbèkùn Juda àti Jerusalẹmu padà bọ̀.
2 I will also gather all the nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there on account of my people and mine inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted my land;
Èmi yóò kó gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè jọ pẹ̀lú èmi yóò sì mú wọn wá sí àfonífojì Jehoṣafati. Èmi yóò sì bá wọn wíjọ́ níbẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ènìyàn mi, àti nítorí Israẹli ìní mi, tí wọ́n fọ́nká sí àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, wọ́n sì pín ilẹ̀ mi.
3 and they have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and have drunk [it].
Wọ́n si ti di ìbò fún àwọn ènìyàn mi; wọ́n sì ti fi ọmọdékùnrin kan fún panṣágà obìnrin kan, wọ́n sì ta ọmọdébìnrin kan fún ọtí wáìnì, kí wọ́n kí ó lè mu.
4 Yea also, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the districts of Philistia? Will ye render me a recompence? But if ye recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will I bring your recompence upon your own head;
“Nísinsin yìí, kí ni ẹ̀yin ní fi mí ṣe Tire àti Sidoni, àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin ẹkún Filistia? Ẹ̀yin yóò ha sàn ẹ̀san fún mi? Bí ẹ̀yin bá sì san ẹ̀san fún mi, ní kánkán àti ní kíákíá ní èmi yóò san ẹ̀san ohun ti ẹ̀yin ṣe padà sórí ara yín.
5 because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my beautiful pleasant things,
Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin tí mú fàdákà mi àti wúrà mi, ẹ̀yin si tí mú ohun rere dáradára mi lọ sínú tẹmpili yín.
6 and the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the children of the Greeks, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Àti àwọn ọmọ Juda, àti àwọn ọmọ Jerusalẹmu ní ẹ̀yin ti tà fún àwọn ará Giriki, kí ẹ̀yin bá à lè sí wọn jìnnà kúrò ní agbègbè ilẹ̀ ìní wọn.
7 Behold, I will raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will bring your recompence upon your own head.
“Kíyèsi í, èmi yóò gbé wọ́n dìde kúrò níbi tì ẹ̀yin ti tà wọ́n sí, èmi yóò sì san ẹ̀san ohun ti ẹ ṣe padà sórí ara yín.
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
Èmi yóò si tà àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín sí ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ Juda, wọ́n yóò sì tà wọ́n fún àwọn ara Sabeani, fún orílẹ̀-èdè kan tí ó jìnnà réré.” Nítorí Olúwa ní o ti sọ ọ.
9 Proclaim this among the nations: prepare war, arouse the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
Ẹ kéde èyí ní àárín àwọn kèfèrí; ẹ dira ogun, ẹ jí àwọn alágbára. Jẹ kí àwọn ajagun kí wọn bẹ̀rẹ̀ ogun.
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears; let the weak say, I am strong.
Ẹ fi irin ìtulẹ̀ yín rọ idà, àti dòjé yín rọ ọ̀kọ̀. Jẹ́ kí aláìlera wí pé, “Ara mi le koko.”
11 Haste ye and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together. Thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah.
Ẹ wá kánkán, gbogbo ẹ̀yin kèfèrí láti gbogbo àyíká, kí ẹ sì gbá ara yín jọ yí káàkiri. Níbẹ̀ ní kí o mú àwọn alágbára rẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀, Olúwa.
12 Let the nations rouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.
“Ẹ jí, ẹ sì gòkè wá sí àfonífojì Jehoṣafati ẹ̀yin kèfèrí: nítorí níbẹ̀ ní èmi yóò jókòó láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn kèfèrí yí káàkiri.
13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down, for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Ẹ tẹ dòjé bọ̀ ọ́, nítorí ìkórè pọ́n. Ẹ wá, ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀, nítorí ìfúntí kún, nítorí àwọn ọpọ́n kún àkúnwọ́sílẹ̀, nítorí ìwà búburú wọn pọ̀!”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is at hand in the valley of decision.
Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ní àfonífojì ìpinnu! Nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa kù si dẹ̀dẹ̀ ní àfonífojì ìdájọ́.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Oòrùn àti òṣùpá yóò ṣú òkùnkùn, àti àwọn ìràwọ̀ kí yóò tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ wọn mọ́.
16 And Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: and Jehovah will be a shelter for his people, and the refuge of the children of Israel.
Olúwa yóò sí ké ramúramù láti Sioni wá, yóò sì fọ ohùn rẹ̀ jáde láti Jerusalẹmu wá; àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé yóò sì mì tìtì. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa yóò ṣe ààbò àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, àti agbára àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
17 And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; and Jerusalem shall be holy, and no strangers shall pass through her any more.
“Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ń gbé Sioni òkè mímọ́ mi. Ìgbà náà ni Jerusalẹmu yóò jẹ́ mímọ́; àwọn àjèjì kì yóò sì kó o mọ́.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the water-courses of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
“Ní ọjọ́ náà, àwọn òkè ńlá yóò máa kán ọtí wáìnì tuntun sílẹ̀, àwọn òkè kéékèèké yóò máa sàn fún wàrà; gbogbo odò Juda tí ó gbẹ́ yóò máa sàn fún omi. Orísun kan yóò sì ṣàn jáde láti inú ilé Olúwa wá, yóò sì rin omi sí àfonífojì Ṣittimu.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, in that they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Ṣùgbọ́n Ejibiti yóò di ahoro, Edomu yóò sì di aṣálẹ̀ ahoro, nítorí ìwà ipá tí a hù sì àwọn ọmọ Juda, ní ilẹ̀ ẹni tí wọ́n ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
20 But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Ṣùgbọ́n Juda yóò jẹ́ ibùgbé títí láé, àti Jerusalẹmu láti ìran dé ìran.
21 And I will purge them from the blood from which I had not purged them: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion.
Nítorí èmi yóò wẹ ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn nù, tí èmi kò tí ì wẹ̀nù.
