Joel 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Phatuel.
| قَوْلُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي صَارَ إِلَى يُوئِيلَ بْنِ فَثُوئِيلَ: | ١ |
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land: did this ever happen in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
| اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلشُّيُوخُ، وَأَصْغُوا يَا جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ! هَلْ حَدَثَ هَذَا فِي أَيَّامِكُمْ، أَوْ فِي أَيَّامِ آبَائِكُمْ؟ | ٢ |
3 Tell ye of this to your children, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.
| أَخْبِرُوا بَنِيكُمْ عَنْهُ، وَبَنُوكُمْ بَنِيهِمْ، وَبَنُوهُمْ دَوْرًا آخَرَ. | ٣ |
4 That which the palmerworm hath left, the locust hath eaten: and that which the locust hath left, the bruchus hath eaten: and that which the bruchus hath left, the mildew hath destroyed.
| فَضْلَةُ ٱلْقَمَصِ أَكَلَهَا ٱلزَّحَّافُ، وَفَضْلَةُ ٱلزَّحَّافِ أَكَلَهَا ٱلْغَوْغَاءُ، وَفَضْلَةُ ٱلْغَوْغَاءِ أَكَلَهَا ٱلطَّيَّارُ. | ٤ |
5 Awake, ye that are drunk, and weep, and mourn all ye that take delight in drinking sweet wine: for it is cut off from your mouth.
| اِصْحُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلسَّكَارَى، وَٱبْكُوا وَوَلْوِلُوا يَا جَمِيعَ شَارِبِي ٱلْخَمْرِ عَلَى ٱلْعَصِيرِ لِأَنَّهُ ٱنْقَطَعَ عَنْ أَفْوَاهِكُمْ. | ٥ |
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number: his teeth are like the teeth of a lion: and his cheek teeth as of a lion’s whelp.
| إِذْ قَدْ صَعِدَتْ عَلَى أَرْضِي أُمَّةٌ قَوِيَّةٌ بِلَا عَدَدٍ، أَسْنَانُهَا أَسْنَانُ ٱلْأَسَدِ، وَلَهَا أَضْرَاسُ ٱللَّبْوَةِ. | ٦ |
7 He hath laid my vineyard waste, and hath pilled off the bark of my fig tree: he hath stripped it bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
| جَعَلَتْ كَرْمَتِي خَرِبَةً وَتِينَتِي مُتَهَشَّمَةً. قَدْ قَشَرَتْهَا وَطَرَحَتْهَا فَٱبْيَضَّتْ قُضْبَانُهَا. | ٧ |
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
| نُوحِي يَا أَرْضِي كَعَرُوسٍ مُؤْتَزِرَةٍ بِمَسْحٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ بَعْلِ صِبَاهَا. | ٨ |
9 Sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of the Lord: the priests, the Lord’s ministers, have mourned:
| ٱنْقَطَعَتِ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةُ وَٱلسَّكِيبُ عَنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. نَاحَتِ ٱلْكَهَنَةُ خُدَّامُ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٩ |
10 The country is destroyed, the ground hath mourned: for the corn is wasted, the wine is confounded, the oil hath languished.
| تَلِفَ ٱلْحَقْلُ، نَاحَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَلِفَ ٱلْقَمْحُ، جَفَّ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ، ذَبُلَ ٱلزَّيْتُ. | ١٠ |
11 The husbandmen are ashamed, the vinedressers have howled for the wheat, and for the barley, because the harvest of the field is perished.
| خَجِلَ ٱلْفَلَّاحُونَ، وَلْوَلَ ٱلْكَرَّامُونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنْطَةِ وَعَلَى ٱلشَّعِيرِ، لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ تَلِفَ حَصِيدُ ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ١١ |
12 The vineyard is confounded, and the fig tree hath languished: the pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the apple tree, and all the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withdrawn from the children of men.
| اَلْجَفْنَةُ يَبِسَتْ، وَٱلتِّينَةُ ذَبُلَتْ. اَلرُّمَّانَةُ وَٱلنَّخْلَةُ وَٱلتُّفَّاحَةُ، كُلُّ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ يَبِسَتْ. إِنَّهُ قَدْ يَبِسَتِ ٱلْبَهْجَةُ مِنْ بَنِي ٱلْبَشَرِ. | ١٢ |
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, O ye priests, howl, ye ministers of the altars: go in, lie in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: because sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of your God.
| تَنَطَّقُوا وَنُوحُوا أَيُّهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ. وَلْوِلُوا يَا خُدَّامَ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ. ٱدْخُلُوا بِيتُوا بِٱلْمُسُوحِ يَا خُدَّامَ إِلَهِي، لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱمْتَنَعَ عَنْ بَيْتِ إِلَهِكُمُ ٱلتَّقْدِمَةُ وَٱلسَّكِيبُ. | ١٣ |
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call an assembly; gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God: and cry ye to the Lord:
| قَدِّسُوا صَوْمًا. نَادُوا بِٱعْتِكَافٍ. ٱجْمَعُوا ٱلشُّيُوخَ، جَمِيعَ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ وَٱصْرُخُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. | ١٤ |
15 Ah, ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand, and it shall come like destruction from the mighty.
| آهِ عَلَى ٱلْيَوْمِ! لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ. يَأْتِي كَخَرَابٍ مِنَ ٱلْقَادِرِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ. | ١٥ |
16 Is not your food cut off before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
| أَمَا ٱنْقَطَعَ ٱلطَّعَامُ تُجَاهَ عُيُونِنَا؟ ٱلْفَرَحُ وَٱلِٱبْتِهَاجُ عَنْ بَيْتِ إِلَهِنَا؟ | ١٦ |
17 The beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are broken down: because the corn is confounded.
| عَفَّنَتِ ٱلْحُبُوبُ تَحْتَ مَدَرِهَا. خَلَتِ ٱلْأَهْرَاءُ. ٱنْهَدَمَتِ ٱلْمَخَازِنُ لِأَنَّهُ قَدْ يَبِسَ ٱلْقَمْحُ. | ١٧ |
18 Why did the beast groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.
| كَمْ تَئِنُّ ٱلْبَهَائِمُ! هَامَتْ قُطْعَانُ ٱلْبَقَرِ لِأَنْ لَيْسَ لَهَا مَرْعًى. حَتَّى قُطْعَانُ ٱلْغَنَمِ تَفْنَى. | ١٨ |
19 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: because fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness, and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the country.
| إِلَيْكَ يَارَبُّ أَصْرُخُ، لِأَنَّ نَارًا قَدْ أَكَلَتْ مَرَاعِيَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَلَهِيبًا أَحْرَقَ جَمِيعَ أَشْجَارِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. | ١٩ |
20 Yea and the beasts of the field have looked up to thee, as a garden bed that thirsteth after rain, for the springs of waters are dried up, and fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness.
| حَتَّى بَهَائِمُ ٱلصَّحْرَاءِ تَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ، لِأَنَّ جَدَاوِلَ ٱلْمِيَاهِ قَدْ جَفَّتْ، وَٱلنَّارَ أَكَلَتْ مَرَاعِيَ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٢٠ |
