< Joel 3 >

1 For beholde, in those dayes and in that time, when I shall bring againe the captiuitie of Iudah and Ierusalem,
LEUM GOD El fahk, “In pacl sac, nga fah folokonak Ma wo puspis lun Judah ac Jerusalem.
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.
Nga fah eisani mutunfacl nukewa Ac usalosme nu Infahlfal lun Nununku. Ingo nga fah nununkalos Ke ma nukewa elos tuh oru nu sin mwet luk. Elos akfahsryelik mwet Israel nu in mutunfacl saya, Ac kitalik Israel, facl sik.
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.
Elos susfa in konauk lah Mutunfacl su ac eis mwet sruoh. Elos moli mutan kosro ke tulik mukul, Ac moli wain ke tulik mutan.
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:
“Tyre, Sidon, ac Philistia nufon, mea kowos srike in oru nu sik uh? Ya kowos srike in folokin molin ma se nu sik? Fin pwaye, nga ac sa na folokonot!
5 For ye haue taken my siluer and my golde, and haue caried into your temples my goodly and pleasant things.
Kowos eisla silver ac gold luk, ac usla mwe kasrup luk nu in tempul lowos.
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.
Kowos usla mwet Judah ac Jerusalem loesla liki facl selos sifacna, ac kukakunulosyang nu sin mwet Greek.
7 Beholde, I will rayse them out of the place where ye haue sold them, and will render your reward vpon your owne head,
Inge nga fah usalosme liki acn nukewa ma kowos kukakunulosla nu we. Nga ac oru nu suwos oana ke kowos tuh oru nu selos.
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.
Nga fah oru tuh mwet Judah in moli wen nutuwos ac acn nutuwos, ac elos ac fah kukakunulosla nu sin mwet Sabean, sie acn oan loessula. Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk ouinge.
9 Publish this among the Gentiles: prepare warre, wake vp the mightie men: let all the men of warre drawe neere and come vp.
“Kowos in fahkelik kas inge inmasrlon mutunfacl uh: ‘Akola nu ke mweun. Solani mwet ku nukewa; Usani mwet mweun lowos ac takla fahsrot.
10 Breake your plowshares into swords, and your sithes into speares: let the weake say, I am strong.
Tamla mutun osra in pukpuk nutuwos an nu ke cutlass, Ac mitmit nutuwos an nu ke osra in mweun. Finne mwet munas, elos in wi pac mweun.
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.
Mutunfacl nukewa su raunikutla, Kowos sulaklak fahsru, Ac tukeni nu ke infahlfal uh.’” O LEUM GOD, supwama un mwet mweun lom in wi lainulos.
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.
“Mutunfacl nukewa enenu in akola Ac tuku nu Infahlfal lun Nununku. Ingo, nga LEUM GOD ac fah nununku Mutunfacl ingan nukewa.
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.
Elos arulana koluk; Pakelosla oana wheat Ke pacl in kosrani. Futfutungya oana kowos futungya grape uh In nien fut wain, Nwe ke sessesla kahk.”
14 O multitude, O multitude, come into the valley of threshing: for the day of the Lord is neere in the valley of threshing.
Tausin nu ke tausin mwet Oasr Infahlfal lun Nununku. Acn we pa len lun LEUM GOD Fah sa tuku.
15 The sunne and moone shalbe darkened, and the starres shall withdrawe their light.
Faht ac malem lohsrlosrani, Ac itu uh tila saromrom.
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.
LEUM GOD El ngutngut Fineol Zion me; Pusracl ngirngir Jerusalem me, oana pusren pulahl; Faclu ac inkusrao kusrusr, Tusruktu, El fah loangela mwet lal.
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.
“Na kowos mwet Israel, fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD lowos. Nga muta Zion, inging mutal sik. Jerusalem fah sie siti mutal. Mwet sac fah tiana sifil kutangulla.
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.
In pacl sac, ima in grape ac fah afunla fineol uh, Ac cow uh fah osralik fin inging nukewa: Infacl nukewa in Judah fah sessesla ke kof. Sie unon in kof ac fah sororla liki Tempul lun LEUM GOD, Ac aksroksrokye Infahlfal Acacia.
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.
“Egypt ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis, Ac Edom sie acn sikiyukla, Mweyen elos tuh mweuni acn lun Judah Ac onela mwet we finne wangin mwatalos.
20 But Iudah shall dwell for euer, and Ierusalem from generation to generation.
Tusruktu, ac fah oasr na mwet muta Judah ac Jerusalem nwe tok.
21 For I will clense their blood, that I haue not clensed, and the Lord will dwell in Zion.
Nga fah foloksak kaclos su anwuki; Nga fah kai mwet ma onelosla. Ac nga, LEUM GOD, fah muta Fineol Zion.”
