Joel 3
1 For behold in those days, and in that time when I shall bring back the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem:
看，在那些日子，在那個時候，當我轉變猶大和耶路撒冷的命運時，
2 I will gather together all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Josaphat: and I will plead with them there for my people, and for my inheritance Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have parted my land.
我必聚集萬民，領他們下到約沙法特山谷，在那裏我要關於我的，我的基業以色列，審問他們，因為他們使我的百姓散居在異民中，且瓜分了我的土地，
3 And they have cast lots upon my people: and the boy they have put in the stews, and the girl they have sold for wine, that they might drink.
為我的百姓捸了籤，以男童換取淫婦，賣掉女童，換洒買醉。
4 But what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coast of the Philistines? will you revenge yourselves on me? and if you revenge yourselves on me, I will very soon return you a recompense upon your own head.
提洛、漆冬和培肋舍特所有的地域! 你們想對我做什麼﹖你們想對我施行報復嗎﹖若你們向我報復，我立刻將你們的作為歸在你們的頭上，
5 For you have taken away my silver and my gold: and my desirable and most beautiful things you have carried into your temples.
因為你們奪去了我的金銀，將我的珍寶帶到你們的宮中；
6 And the children of Juda, and the children of Jerusalem you have sold to the children of the Greeks, that you might remove them far off from their own country.
又將猶大子民和耶路撒冷子民賣給雅汪人，使他們遠離自己的祖國。
7 Behold, I will raise them up out of the place wherein you have sold them: and I will return your recompense upon your own heads.
看，不拘你們把他們出賣到什麼城邑和地方，我必要使他們從那裏回來，卻把你們所做的，歸在你們頭上：
8 And I will sell your sons, and your daughters by the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far off, for the Lord hath spoken it.
將你們的兒女賣在猶大子民的手裏，使他們再轉賣給遠方的舍巴人，因為上主這樣說了。
9 Proclaim ye this among the nations: prepare war, rouse up the strong: let them come, let all the men of war come up.
你們要在異民中宣布：準備聖戰，激勵勇士! 一切戰士應前進襲擊!
10 Cut your ploughshares into swords, and your spades into spears. Let the weak say: I am strong.
將你們的犁頭鑄成刀劍，將你們的鐮刀鑄成長槍；連者也要說：我是個戰士!
11 Break forth, and come, all ye nations, from round about, and gather yourselves together: there will the Lord cause all thy strong ones to fall down.
四周的異民! 你們急速前來，在這裏聚合。上主，使你的勇士降臨吧!
12 Let them arise, and let the nations come up into the valley of Josaphat: for there I will sit to judge all nations round about.
異民，起來，前往約沙法特山谷，因為我要在那裏坐堂，審訊四周的一切異民。
13 Put ye in the sickles, for the harvest is ripe: come and go down, for the press is full, the fats run over: for their wickedness is multiplied.
伸出鐮刀，因為莊稼已成熟；前來踐踏! 因為洒榨已溢出，因為他們已惡貫滿盈。
14 Nations, nations in the valley of destruction: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of destruction.
成群結隊的人齊集在審判谷，因為上主的日子已臨近了審判谷。
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.
太陽和月亮昏暗了，星辰失去了光芒。
16 And the Lord shall roar out of Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the heavens and the earth shall be moved, and the Lord shall be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
上主從熙雍怒吼，從耶路撒冷發出自己的聲音，天地為之震動；但上主卻是自己百姓的避難所，是以色列子民的堡壘。
17 And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall pass through it no more.
那時，他們必要知道：我上主是你們的天主，我住在熙雍，我的聖山上。那時，耶路撒冷必要成為聖地，外人再不能從那裏經過。
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk: and waters shall flow through all the rivers of Juda: and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the torrent of thorns.
到了那一天，山嶽必要滴下新洒，丘陵必要流下乳汁，猶大的一切河流必要湧流清水；從上主的殿裏，將有一清泉流出，澆灌史庭山谷。
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a wilderness destroyed: because they have done unjustly against the children of Juda, and have shed innocent blood in their land.
埃及將變成荒地，厄東將成為曠野，因為他們虐待了判斷子民，在他們的境內傾流了無辜者的血。
20 And Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to generation and generation.
但猶大永遠有人居住，耶路撒冷也世世代代有人居住。
21 And I will cleanse their blood which I had not cleansed: and the Lord will dwell in Sion.
我必要追討坰未追討的債血；因為上主住在熙雍。
