Joel 3
1 For beholde, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,
“Paske gade byen, nan jou sila yo ak nan lè sa a, lè Mwen va restore davni Juda ak Jérusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations, and wil bring them downe into the valley of Iehoshaphat, and will pleade with them there for my people, and for mine heritage Israel, whom they haue scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Mwen va rasanble tout nasyon yo pou mennen yo desann nan vale Josaphat la. Epi Mwen va antre la nan jijman avèk yo pou pèp ak eritaj Mwen an, Israël, ke yo te gaye pami nasyon yo. Yo te divize tè Mwen an,
3 And they haue cast lottes for my people, and haue giuen the childe for the harlot, and sold the girle for wine, that they might drinke.
epi te voye tiraj osò pou pèp Mwen an. Yo te twoke yon gason pou yon pwostitiye ak yon fi yo vann pou diven, pou yo ta ka bwè.”
4 Yea, and what haue you to do with me, O Tyrus and Zidon and all the costes of Palestina? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence mee, swiftly and speedily will I render your recompence vpon your head:
“Anplis, se kisa ou ye pou Mwen, O Tyr, ak Sidon, ak tout rejyon a Philistine yo? Èske se yon rekonpans ke n ap ban Mwen? Men si Mwen pa jwenn rekonpans byen vit e san delè, Mwen va fè rekonpans nou an retounen sou tèt nou.
5 For ye haue taken my siluer and my golde, and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things.
Akoz nou te pran ajan Mwen ak lò Mwen, e te mennen bagay presye sakre Mwen yo nan tanp nou yo,
6 The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue you solde vnto the Grecians, that ye might send them farre from their border.
epi nou te vann fis a Juda ak Jérusalem yo bay Grèk yo pou yo ta ka vin rete lwen teritwa yo,
7 Beholde, I will rayse them out of the place where ye haue sold them, and will render your reward vpon your owne head,
gade byen, Mwen va fè yo leve soti nan plas kote nou te vann yo, pou retounen rekonpans nou an sou pwòp tèt nou.
8 And I will send your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Anplis, Mwen va vann fis nou yo ak fi nou yo nan men a fis a Juda yo. Konsa, yo va vann yo bay Sabeyen yo, yon nasyon byen lwen,” paske SENYÈ a fin pale.
9 Publish this among the Gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men: let all the men of warre drawe neere and come vp.
Pwoklame sa pami nasyon yo: “Prepare nou pou fè lagè! Anime mesye pwisan yo! Kite tout sòlda yo vin pi pre. Kite yo monte kote nou.
10 Breake your plowshares into swords, and your sithes into speares: let the weake say, I am strong.
Bat lam cha pou yo fè epe, ak kwòk rebondaj pou fè lans. Kite moun fèb yo di: ‘Mwen pwisan!’
11 Assemble your selues, and come all yee heathen and gather your selues together round about: there shall the Lord cast downe the mightie men.
Fè vit vini, tout nasyon ki ozalantou yo. Rasanble nou ansanm.” Fè desann la, O SENYÈ, moun pwisan Ou yo.
12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come vp to the valley of Iehoshaphat: for there will I sit to iudge all the heathen round about.
“Kite nasyon yo leve pwop tèt yo pou vin monte nan vale Josaphat la; paske se la Mwen va chita pou jije tout nasyon ki ozalantou yo.
13 Put in your sithes, for the haruest is ripe: come, get you downe, for the winepresse is full: yea, the winepresses runne ouer, for their wickednesse is great.
Fè antre boutdigo rekòlt la, paske rekòlt la vin mi. Vin mache foule anba pye, paske pèz diven an vin plen. Chodyè yo ap debòde, paske mechanste yo vin gran.”
14 O multitude, O multitude, come into the valley of threshing: for the day of the Lord is neere in the valley of threshing.
Gwo foul yo, gwo foul nan vale desizyon an! Paske jou SENYÈ a toupre nan vale desizyon an.
15 The sunne and moone shalbe darkened, and the starres shall withdrawe their light.
Solèy la ak lalin nan va vin tou nwa, e zetwal yo va pèdi briyans yo.
16 The Lord also shall roare out of Zion, and vtter his voyce from Ierusalem, and the heauens and the earth shall shake, but the Lord wil be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Senyè a va gwonde soti nan Sion, e va sone vwa Li soti Jérusalem. Syèl yo ak tè a va tranble, men SENYÈ a se yon refij pou pèp Li a, ak yon sitadèl pou fis Israël yo.
17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, mine holy Mountaine: then shall Ierusalem bee holy, and there shall no strangers go thorowe her any more.
Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ka p viv nan Sion, mòn sen Mwen an. Nan lè sa a Jérusalem va sen, e etranje yo p ap pase ladann ankò.
18 And in that day shall the mountaines drop downe newe wine, and the hilles shall flowe with milke, and al the riuers of Iudah shall runne with waters, and a fountaine shall come forth of the House of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Epi nan jou sa a, mòn yo va degoute diven nèf. Nan kolin yo, se lèt ki va koule; tout ravin nan Juda va gen dlo, epi yon sous va sòti lakay SENYÈ a pou awoze vale a Sittim nan.
19 Egypt shalbe waste, and Edom shall be a desolate wildernesse, for the iniuries of the childre of Iudah, because they haue shed innocent blood in their land.
Égypte va vin yon dezè, Edom va vin yon savann dezole, akoz vyolans ki te fèt sou fis Israël yo, akoz yo te vèse san inosan an nan peyi yo.
20 But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.
Men Juda va gen moun ladann jis pou tout tan e Jérusalem de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
21 For I will clense their blood, that I haue not clensed, and the Lord will dwell in Zion.
Epi Mwen va vanje san ke M potko vanje yo, paske SENYÈ a rete nan Sion.”
