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.
Zatrobite na šofar na Sionu in razglasite alarm na moji sveti gori. Naj vsi prebivalci dežele trepetajo, kajti dan Gospodov prihaja, kajti ta je blizu, pri roki;
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.
dan teme in mračnosti, dan oblakov in goste teme se kot jutro razširjajo nad gorami. Veliko ljudstvo in močno, nikoli ni bilo podobnega niti ga ne bo več za tem, celó do let mnogih rodov.
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.
Ogenj požira pred njimi in za njimi gori plamen. Dežela je pred njimi kakor edenski vrt in za njimi zapuščena divjina; da, in nič jim ne bo pobegnilo.
4 The beholding of him is like the sight of horses, and like the horsemen, so shall they runne.
Njihov videz je kakor videz konjev in kakor konjeniki, tako bodo tekli.
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.
Poskakovali bodo kakor hrup bojnih vozov na vrhovih gora, kakor hrup ognjenega plamena, ki požira strnišče, kakor močno ljudstvo, postavljeno v bojno razvrstitev.
6 Before his face shall the people tremble: all faces shall gather blackenesse.
Pred njihovim obrazom bo ljudstvo močno zaskrbljeno. Vsi obrazi bodo zbirali črnino.
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.
Tekli bodo kakor mogočni možje, obzidje bodo preplezali kakor bojevniki in korakali bodo vsak po svojih poteh in svojih vrst ne bodo pretrgali.
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.
Niti eden ne bo sunil drugega. Hodili bodo vsak po svoji stezi in ko padejo na meč, ne bodo ranjeni.
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.
Tekali bodo sem ter tja po mestu, tekli bodo na obzidje, splezali bodo na hiše, vstopili bodo pri oknih kakor tat.
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,
Zemlja se bo tresla pred njimi, nebo bo trepetalo, sonce in luna bosta otemnela in zvezde bodo umaknile svoje svetlikanje.
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?
Gospod bo izustil svoj glas pred svojo vojsko, kajti njegov tabor je zelo velik, kajti on je močan, ki izvršuje svojo besedo, kajti dan Gospodov je velik in zelo strašen in kdo ga lahko prenese?
12 Therefore also now the Lord sayth, Turne you vnto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning,
»Zato se tudi sedaj, « govori Gospod, »obrnite celó k meni z vsem svojim srcem in s postom in z jokom in z žalovanjem
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.
in pretrgajte svoje srce, ne pa svojih oblačil in obrnite se h Gospodu, svojemu Bogu, kajti on je milostljiv in usmiljen, počasen za jezo in velike prijaznosti in se kesa zla.«
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?
Kdo ve, če se bo vrnil in pokesal in pustil blagoslov za seboj, celó jedilno daritev in pitno daritev Gospodu, svojemu Bogu?
15 Blowe the trumpet in Zion, sanctifie a fast, call a solemne assembly.
Zatrobite na šofar na Sionu, posvetite post, skličite slovesen zbor,
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.
zberite ljudstvo, posvetite skupnost, zberite starešine, naberite otroke in tiste, ki sesajo pri prsih. Naj pride ženin iz svoje sobe in nevesta iz svoje sobice.
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?
Naj duhovniki, Gospodovi služabniki, jokajo med preddverjem in oltarjem in naj govorijo: »Prizanesi svojemu ljudstvu, oh Gospod in svoje dediščine ne izroči v zasmeh, da bi nad njimi vladali pogani. Zakaj bi med ljudstvom rekli: ›Kje je njihov Bog?‹«
18 Then will the Lord be ielous ouer his land, and spare his people.
Potem bo Gospod ljubosumen nad svojo deželo in se usmilil svojega ljudstva.
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,
Da, Gospod bo odgovoril in rekel svojemu ljudstvu: »Glejte, poslal vam bom žito, vino in olje in nasičeni boste s tem in ne bom vas več naredil v zasmeh med pogani,
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.
toda daleč od vas bom odstranil severno vojsko in pregnal jih bom v jalovo in zapuščeno deželo, s svojim obrazom proti vzhodnemu morju in s svojim zadnjim delom proti skrajnemu morju in njegov smrad se bo vzdignil in njegovo zaudarjanje se bo vzdignilo, ker je storil velike stvari.«
21 Feare not, O land, but be glad, and reioyce: for the Lord wil do great things.
Ne boj se, oh dežela, bodi vesela in se raduj, kajti Gospod bo storil velike stvari.
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.
Ne bodite prestrašene, ve poljske živali, kajti pašniki divjine poganjajo, kajti drevo rodi svoj sad, figovo drevo in trta predajata svojo moč.
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.
Bodite torej veseli, vi sionski otroci in veselite se v Gospodu, svojem Bogu, kajti dal vam je zmerno prvi dež in povzročil bo, da vam bo prišel dež, prvi dež in pozni dež v prvem mesecu.
24 And the barnes shalbe full of wheate, and the presses shall abound with wine and oyle.
Tla bodo polna pšenice in kadi bodo prekipevale od vina in olja.
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.
»Povrnil vam bom leta, ki jih je požrla leteča kobilica, škodljiva gosenica, gosenica in kosmata gosenica, moja velika vojska, ki sem jo poslal med vas.
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.
Jedli boste v obilju in boste nasičeni in slavili ime Gospoda, svojega Boga, ki je z vami čudovito ravnal in moje ljudstvo nikoli ne bo osramočeno.
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.
Vedeli boste, da sem jaz v Izraelovi sredi in da sem jaz Gospod, vaš Bog in nihče drug, in moje ljudstvo nikoli ne bo osramočeno.
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,
Potem se bo zgodilo, da bom svojega duha izlil na vse meso. Vaši sinovi in vaše hčere bodo prerokovali, vaši starci bodo sanjali sanje, vaši mladeniči bodo videli videnja.
29 And also vpon the seruants, and vpon the maydes in those dayes wil I powre my Spirit.
Tudi na služabnike in na pomočnice bom v tistih dneh izlil svojega Duha.
30 And I will shewe wonders in the heauens and in the earth: blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Pokazal bom čudeže na nebu in na zemlji, kri in ogenj in stebre dima.
31 The sunne shalbe turned into darkenesse, and the moone into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
Sonce se bo spremenilo v temo in luna v kri pred velikim in strašnim dnevom Gospodovega prihoda.«
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.
In zgodilo se bo, da kdorkoli bo klical h Gospodovemu imenu, bo osvobojen, kajti osvoboditev bo na gori Sion in v Jeruzalemu, kakor je rekel Gospod in v ostanku, ki ga bo Gospod poklical.
