Joel 2

1 Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the day of the Lord cometh, because it is nigh at hand,

Gouru tungʼ e Sayun; kendo gouru milome e goda maler. Ji duto modak e piny mondo otetni, nikech odiechiengʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye biro. Osesudo machiegni.

2 A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it even to the years of generation and generation.

En odiechiengʼ mar mudho kod kuyo, kendo en odiechieng mar rumbi kod mudho mandiwa. Ochalo gi piny moyawore ma lerne rieny e kor gode; oganda mangʼongo kendo maratego mar jolweny biro, mane pok one nyaka nene, kendo ok nochak one ndalo mabiro nyaka chiengʼ.

3 Before the face thereof a devouring fire, and behind it a burning flame: the land is like a garden of pleasure before it, and behind it a desolate wilderness, neither is there any one that can escape it.

Mach wengʼo nyimgi, to bangʼ-gi ligek mach bebnie. Piny chalo gi puoth Eden yo ka nyimgi to ka bangʼ-gi piny otwo modongʼ nono, onge gimoro manyalo pusorenegi matony.

4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like horsemen.

Kitgi chalo kaka farese; Gilengʼore kaka jolweny moidho farese.

5 They shall leap like the noise of chariots upon the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, as a strong people prepared to battle.

Gilengʼore ewi gode gi koko machalo koko mag geche lweny, kendo kaka mach makakni kawangʼo yugi, kendo mana kaka oganda mar jolweny maroteke machanore ne lweny.

6 At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.

Ka ogendini goyo wangʼni kuomgi, to gidhier nono kendo wengegi lil.

7 They shall run like valiant men: like men of war they shall scale the wall: the men shall march every one on his way, and they shall not turn aside from their ranks.

Gibiro ka giger ka jokedo; gilwenyo ohinga ka jolweny. Gipangore wangʼ achiel ka gichanore, ma ok gilok yorgi.

8 No one shall press upon his brother: they shall walk every one in his path: yea, and they shall fall through the windows, and shall take no harm.

Ok gituomre, moro ka moro pangore kochimo nyime tir. Gimuomo gik madigengʼ-gi ka ok giketho kaka gichanore.

9 They shall enter into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses, they shall come in at the windows as a thief.

Gichomo dala maduongʼ gireto, giringo ka gilwenyo ohinga, giidho nyaka ei udi; kendo gidonjo gie dirisni mana ka jokwoge.

10 At their presence the earth hath trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.

Piny tetni e nyimgi, polo bende yiengni, chiengʼ gi dwe lokore mudho, to sulwe bende ok rieny.

11 And the Lord hath uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can stand it?

Jehova Nyasaye kok matek e nyim jolweny mage; jolweny mage ok nyal kwan, joma winje gin joma roteke. Odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye duongʼ; kendo olich mokadho. En ngʼa manyalo siro odiechiengno?

12 Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning.

Jehova Nyasaye owacho ni, “Kata sani, dwoguru ira gi chunyu duto, ka uriyo kech kendo uywak kendo udengo.”

13 And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil.

Lokuru chunyu, to ok lepu. Dwoguru ir Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, nikech ongʼwon kendo okecho ji, iye ok wangʼ piyo kendo ojahera, bende chunye lendo kuom kelo ne ji masira kata chwat.

14 Who knoweth but he will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God?

En ngʼa mongʼeyo? Onyalo lokore mi okechu kendo owenu gweth, kendo ubed gi chiwo mag cham kod misengini miolo piny muchiwo ni Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasachu.

15 Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly,

Gouru turumbete e Sayun, landuru lemo mar riyo kech maler, luonguru chokruok maler.

16 Gather together the people, sanctify the church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones, and them that suck at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his bed, and the bride out of her bride chamber.

Chokuru ji kanyakla, pwodhuru chokruok mar oganda, chokuru jodongo kaachiel, keluru nyithindo kaachiel, koda nyithindo madhodho thuno. Wuowi monyombo machiegni mondo owuogi oa e ode, kendo miaha mondo owuogi oa kachiena.

17 Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord’s ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God?

Jodolo, matiyo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, mondo oywagi, e kind agola gi kendo mar misango mar hekalu. Giywag kagiwacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, kik itiek jogi. Kik imi girkeni mari obed gima ichayo, ma ogendini wuoyo kuome marach. Angʼo ma dimi giwachi e dier ogendini niya, ‘Ere Nyasachgi?’”

18 The Lord hath been zealous for his land, and hath spared his people.

Eka Jehova Nyasaye nyiego nomaki nikech pinye kendo nokech joge.

19 And the Lord answered and said to his people: Behold I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be filled with them: and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

Jehova Nyasaye nodwokgi kowacho niya, “Abiro miyou cham gi divai manyien kod mo zeituni, moromo yiengʼou chuth; ok anachak ami ubed jogo michayo e dier ogendini.

20 And I will remove far off from you the northern enemy: and I will drive him into a land unpassable, and desert, with his face towards the east sea, and his hinder part towards the utmost sea: and his stench shall ascend, and his rottenness shall go up, because he hath done proudly.

“Anariemb jolweny moa nyandwat madhi mabor kodu, anariembu nyaka e thim motwo, joge motelo nodhi e nam man yo wuok chiengʼ, to modongʼ nodhi e nam man yo podho chiengʼ. To jogi motho biro dungʼ, mi dungʼne nopongʼ piny.” Adiera osetimo gik madongo.

21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice: for the Lord hath done great things.

Yaye piny, weuru luor; bed mamor kendo moil, adiera Jehova Nyasaye osetimo gik madongo.

22 Fear not, ye beasts of the fields: for the beautiful places of the wilderness are sprung, for the tree hath brought forth its fruit, the fig tree, and the vine have yielded their strength.

Yaye le manie thim, weuru luor; nikech pewe kwath koro loth, yiende nyago olembegi; Ngʼowu gi mzabibu golo mwandugi.

23 And you, O children of Sion, rejoice, and be joyful in the Lord your God: because he hath given you a teacher of justice, and he will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you as in the beginning.

Yaye jo-Sayun moruru, beduru moil kuom Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, nikech osemiyou koth mar chwiri e yo makare, asemiyou ngʼidho mogundho, moriwo kodh chwiri kod kodh opon, mana kaka chon.

24 And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.

Kuonde dino cham nopongʼ gi cham; kendo degi nopongʼ mi-oo oko gi divai manyien kod mo.

25 And I will restore to you the ears which the locust, and the bruchus, and the mildew, and the palmerworm have eaten; my great host which I sent upon you.

“Abiro chulou kuom higni ma bonyo osechamo; bonyo madongo gi matindo, gi bonyo mamoko gi mony mar bonyo; ma gin oganda maduongʼ mar jolweny mara mane aoro e dieru.

26 And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled: and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath done wonders with you, and my people shall not be confounded for ever.

Unubed gi chiemo mathoth, ma uchamo nyaka unuyiengʼ, kendo unupak nying Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, mosetimonu timbe miwuoro. Wi joga ok nochak okuod kendo.

27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and my people shall not be confounded for ever.

Eka unungʼe ni antie ei Israel, ni An e Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, kendo ni onge moro machielo; wi joga ok nochak okuod kendo.”

28 And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

“Bangʼe, anaol Roho Maler mara kuom ji duto. Yawuotu gi nyiu nokor wach, jodongu nolek lek, jou matindo none fweny.

29 Moreover upon my servants and handmaids in those days I will pour forth my spirit.

Kata mana jotichna machwo gi mamon, bende, naol Roho Maler mara kuomgi ndalono.

30 And I will shew wonders in heaven; and in earth, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.

Anatim honni miwuoro e kor polo to e piny, remo gi mach kod iro madhwolore nobedie.

31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood: before the great and dreadful day of the Lord doth come.

Wangʼ chiengʼ nolokre mudho to dwe nolokre remo, kapok odiechiengʼ maduongʼ kendo malich mar Jehova Nyasaye ochopo.

32 And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem shall be salvation, as the Lord hath said, and in the residue whom the Lord shall call.

To ngʼato ka ngʼato maluongo nying Jehova Nyasaye noresi; nikech ewi got Sayun kendo ei Jerusalem resruok nobedie, mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye osewacho, e dier joma otony ma Jehova Nyasaye oluongo.”
