Joel 2

1 Blowe the trumpet in Zion, and shoute in mine holy mountaine: let all the inhabitants of the lande tremble: for the day of the Lord is come: for it is 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 darkenesse, and of blacknesse, a day of cloudes, and obscuritie, as the morning spred vpon the mountaines, so is there a great people, and a mighty: there was none like it from the beginning, neither shalbe any more after it, vnto the yeeres of many generations.

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 A fire deuoureth before him, and behinde him a flame burneth vp: the land is as the garden of Eden before him, and behinde him a desolate wildernesse, so that nothing shall escape him.

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 beholding of him is like the sight of horses, and like the horsemen, so shall they runne.

Kitgi chalo kaka farese; Gilengʼore kaka jolweny moidho farese.

5 Like the noyse of charrets in the toppes of the mountaines shall they leape, like the noyse of a flame of fire that deuoureth the stubble, and as a mightie people prepared to the battel.

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 Before his face shall the people tremble: all faces shall gather blackenesse.

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

7 They shall runne like strong men, and goe vp to the wall like men of warre, and euery man shall goe forward in his wayes, and they shall not stay in their paths.

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

8 Neither shall one thrust another, but euery one shall walke in his path: and when they fall vpon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

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

9 They shall runne to and from in the citie: they shall runne vpon the wall: they shall clime vp vpon the houses, and enter in at ye windowes like ye thiefe.

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

10 The earth shall tremble before him, ye heauens shall shake, the sunne and the moone shalbe darke, and the starres shall withdraw their shining,

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

11 And the Lord shall vtter his voyce before his hoste: for his hoste is very great: for he is strog that doeth his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible, and who can abide 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 Therefore also now the Lord sayth, Turne you vnto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning,

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

13 And rent your heart, and not your clothes: and turne vnto the Lord your God, for he is gratious, and mercifull, slowe to anger, and of great kindnes, and repenteth him of the euill.

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, is he wil returne and repent and leaue a blessing behinde him, euen a meate offring, and a drinke offring vnto ye 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 Blowe the trumpet in Zion, sanctifie a fast, call a solemne assembly.

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

16 Gather the people: sanctifie the congregation, gather the elders: assemble the children, and those that sucke the breastes: let the bridegrome go forth of his chamber, 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 Let the Priestes, the ministers of the Lord weepe betweene the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and giue not thine heritage into reproche that the heathen should rule ouer them. Wherefore should they say among the people, 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 Then will the Lord be ielous ouer his land, and spare his people.

Eka Jehova Nyasaye nyiego nomaki nikech pinye kendo nokech joge.

19 Yea, the Lord wil answere and say vnto his people, Beholde, I will send you corne, and wine, and oyle, and you shalbe satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproche among the heathen,

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 But I will remooue farre off from you the Northren armie, and I will driue him into a land, barren and desolate with his face toward the East sea, and his end to the vtmost sea, and his stinke shall come vp, and his corruption shall ascend, because he hath exalted himselfe to do this.

“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 Feare not, O land, but be glad, and reioyce: for the Lord wil do great things.

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

22 Be not afrayde, ye beastes of the fielde: for the pastures of the wildernesse are greene: for the tree beareth her fruite: the figge tree and the vine do giue their force.

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

23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and reioyce in the Lord your God: for he hath giuen you the rayne of righteousnes, he wil cause to come downe for you the rayne, euen the first raine, and the latter raine in the first moneth.

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 barnes shalbe full of wheate, and the presses shall abound with wine and oyle.

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

25 And I will render you the yeeres that the grashopper hath eaten, the canker worme and the caterpiller and the palmer worme, my great hoste which I sent among 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 So you shall eate and be satisfied and praise the Name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt marueilously with you: and my people shall neuer be ashamed.

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 Ye shall also know, that I am in the middes of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God and none other, and my people shall neuer be ashamed.

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 afterward will I powre out my Spirit vpon all flesh: and your sonnes and your daughters shall prophecie: your olde men shall dreame dreames, and your yong 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 And also vpon the seruants, and vpon the maydes in those dayes wil I powre my Spirit.

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

30 And I will shewe wonders in the heauens and in the earth: blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.

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

31 The sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

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

32 But whosoeuer shall call on the Name of the Lord, shalbe saued: for in mount Zion, and in Ierusale shalbe deliuerance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant, 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.”
