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,
Ẹ fun ìpè ní Sioni, ẹ sì fún ìpè ìdágìrì ní òkè mímọ́ mi. Jẹ́ kí àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà wárìrì, nítorí tí ọjọ́ Olúwa ń bọ̀ wá, nítorí ó kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀.
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.
Ọjọ́ òkùnkùn àti ìrọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀, ọjọ́ ìkùùkuu àti òkùnkùn biribiri. Bí ọyẹ́ òwúrọ̀ ti í la bo orí àwọn òkè ńlá: àwọn ènìyàn ńlá àti alágbára; ya dé, ti kó ti ì sí irú rẹ̀ rí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni irú rẹ̀ kì yóò sí mọ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, títí dé ọdún ìran dé ìran.
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.
Iná ń jó níwájú wọ́n; ọwọ́ iná sì ń jó lẹ́yìn wọn. Ilẹ̀ náà dàbí ọgbà Edeni níwájú wọn, àti lẹ́yìn wọn bí ahoro ijù; nítòótọ́, kò sì sí ohun tí yóò bọ́ lọ́wọ́ wọn.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like horsemen.
Ìrí wọn dàbí ìrí àwọn ẹṣin; wọ́n ń sáré lọ bí àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin ogun.
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.
Bí ariwo kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun ni wọn ń fo ní orí òkè bí ariwo ọ̀wọ́-iná tí ń jó koríko gbígbẹ, bí akọni ènìyàn tí a kójọ fún ogun.
6 At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.
Ní ojú wọn, àwọn ènìyàn yóò jẹ ìrora púpọ̀: gbogbo ojú ní yóò ṣú dudu.
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.
Wọn yóò sáré bi àwọn alágbára; wọn yóò gùn odi bí ọkùnrin ológun; olúkúlùkù wọn yóò sì rìn lọ ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, wọn kì yóò sì yà kúrò ni ọ̀nà wọn.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan kì yóò kọlu ẹnìkejì rẹ̀; olúkúlùkù wọn yóò rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, nígbà tí wọn bá sì ṣubú lù idà wọn kì yóò gbọgbẹ́.
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.
Wọn yóò sáré síwá sẹ́yìn ní ìlú; wọn yóò súré lórí odi, wọn yóò gùn orí ilé; wọn yóò gbà ojú fèrèsé wọ̀ inú ilé bí olè.
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.
Ayé yóò mì níwájú wọn; àwọn ọ̀run yóò wárìrì; oòrùn àti òṣùpá yóò ṣókùnkùn, àwọn ìràwọ̀ yóò sì fà ìmọ́lẹ̀ wọn sẹ́yìn.
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?
Olúwa yóò sì bú ramúramù jáde níwájú ogun rẹ̀: nítorí ibùdó rẹ̀ tóbi gidigidi; nítorí alágbára ní òun, tí n mú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ṣẹ; nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa tóbi ó sì ní ẹ̀rù gidigidi; ara ta ni ó lè gbà á?
12 Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning.
“Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà nísinsin yìí,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ẹ fi gbogbo ọkàn yín yípadà sí mi, àti pẹ̀lú àwẹ̀, àti pẹ̀lú ẹkún, àti pẹ̀lú ọ̀fọ̀.”
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.
Ẹ sì fa ọkàn yín ya, kì í sì í ṣe aṣọ yín, ẹ sì yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nítorí tí o pọ̀ ní oore-ọ̀fẹ́, ó sì kún fun àánú, ó lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì ṣeun púpọ̀, ó sì ronúpìwàdà láti ṣe búburú.
14 Who knoweth but he will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God?
Ta ni ó mọ̀ bí òun yóò yípadà, kí o sì ronúpìwàdà, kí ó sì fi ìbùkún sílẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀— àní ọrẹ-jíjẹ àti ọrẹ mímu fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín?
15 Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly,
Ẹ fún ìpè ní Sioni, ẹ ya àwẹ̀ kan sí mímọ́, ẹ pe àjọ tí ó ni ìrònú.
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.
Ẹ kó àwọn ènìyàn jọ, ẹ ya ìjọ sí mímọ́; ẹ pe àwọn àgbàgbà jọ, ẹ kó àwọn ọmọdé jọ, àti àwọn tí ń mú ọmú, jẹ kí ọkọ ìyàwó kúrò nínú ìyẹ̀wù rẹ̀. Kí ìyàwó sì kúrò nínú iyàrá rẹ̀.
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?
Jẹ́ kí àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, sọkún láàrín ìloro àti pẹpẹ. Sí jẹ́ kí wọn wí pé, “Dá àwọn ènìyàn rẹ sí, Olúwa. Má sì ṣe fi ìní rẹ fun ẹ̀gàn, tí yóò sì di òwe ní àárín àwọn kèfèrí. Èéṣe tí wọn yóò fi wí láàrín àwọn ènìyàn pé, ‘Ọlọ́run wọn ha da?’”
18 The Lord hath been zealous for his land, and hath spared his people.
Nígbà náà ní Olúwa yóò jowú fún ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, yóò sì káàánú fún ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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.
Nítòótọ́, Olúwa yóò dá wọn lóhùn, yóò sì wí fun àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ pé: “Wò ó èmi yóò rán ọkà, àti ọtí wáìnì tuntun, àti òróró sí i yín, a ó sì fi wọn tẹ́ yín lọ́rùn; Èmi kì yóò sì fi yín ṣe ẹ̀gàn mọ́ láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà.
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.
“Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò lé ogun àríwá jìnnà réré kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín, èmi yóò sì lé e lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí ó ṣá, tí ó sì di ahoro, pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ̀ sí Òkun ìlà-oòrùn, àti ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn Òkun. Òórùn rẹ̀ yóò sì gòkè, òórùn búburú rẹ̀ yóò sì gòkè.” Nítòótọ́ ó ti ṣe ohun ńlá.
21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice: for the Lord hath done great things.
Má bẹ̀rù, ìwọ ilẹ̀; jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ dùn kí o sì yọ̀, nítorí Olúwa ti ṣe ohun ńlá.
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.
Ẹ má bẹ̀rù, ẹranko igbó, nítorí pápá oko aginjù ń rú. Nítorí igi ń so èso rẹ̀, igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ àti àjàrà ń so èso ọ̀rọ̀ wọn.
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.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí inú yín dùn, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Sioni, ẹ sì yọ̀ nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nítorí ó ti fi àkọ́rọ̀ òjò fún yín bí ó ti tọ́, Òun ti mú kí òjò rọ̀ sílẹ̀ fún un yín, àkọ́rọ̀ àti àrọ̀kúrò òjò ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní.
24 And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
Àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà yóò kún fún ọkà; àti ọpọ́n wọn nì yóò sàn jáde pẹ̀lú ọtí wáìnì tuntun àti òróró.
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.
“Èmi yóò sì mú ọdún wọ̀nyí ti eṣú jẹ run padà fún un yín. Èyí tí eṣú agénijẹ àti eṣú jewéjewé ọwọ́ eṣú agénijẹ àti kòkòrò ajẹnirun mìíràn ti fi jẹ àwọn ogun ńlá mi tí mo rán sí àárín yín.
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.
Ẹ̀yin yóò ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ láti jẹ, títí ẹ̀yin yóò fi yó ẹ ó sì yín orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ẹni tí ó fi ìyanu bá yín lò; ojú kì yóò sì ti àwọn ènìyàn mi láéláé.
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.
Ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, èmi wà láàrín Israẹli, àti pé; Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn, ojú kì yóò sì ti àwọn ènìyàn mí láéláé.
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.
“Yóò sì ṣe níkẹyìn ọjọ́, èmi yóò tú nínú Ẹ̀mí mí sí ara ènìyàn gbogbo; àwọn ọmọ yín ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọ yín obìnrin yóò máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀, àwọn arúgbó yín yóò máa lá àlá, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yín yóò máa ríran.
29 Moreover upon my servants and handmaids in those days I will pour forth my spirit.
Àti pẹ̀lú sí ara àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin, àti sí ara àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ obìnrin, ní èmi yóò tú ẹ̀mí mí jáde ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
30 And I will shew wonders in heaven; and in earth, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
Èmi yóò sì fi iṣẹ́ ìyanu hàn ní ọrun àti ní ayé, ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti iná, àti ọ̀wọ́n èéfín.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood: before the great and dreadful day of the Lord doth come.
A á sọ oòrùn di òkùnkùn, àti òṣùpá di ẹ̀jẹ̀, kí ọjọ́ ńlá àti ọjọ́ ẹ̀rù Olúwa tó dé.
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.
Yóò sí ṣe, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ba ké pè orúkọ Olúwa ní a ó gbàlà, nítorí ní òkè Sioni àti ní Jerusalẹmu ní ìgbàlà yóò gbé wà, bí Olúwa ti wí, àti nínú àwọn ìyókù tí Olúwa yóò pè.
