Joel 3

1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

١ لأَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،

2 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will enter into judgment with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.

٢ أَجْمَعُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَتَّتُوهُمْ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ وَاقْتَسَمُوا أَرْضِي.

3 And they have cast lots for My people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and have drunk.

٣ وَأَلْقَوْا الْقُرْعَةَ عَلَى شَعْبِي فَقَايَضُوا الزَّانِيَةَ بِالصَّبِيِّ، وَبَاعُوا الصَّبِيَّةَ لِقَاءَ شُرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ.

4 And also what are ye to Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render retribution on My behalf? and if ye render retribution on My behalf, swiftly, speedily will I return your retribution upon your own head.

٤ مَاذَا لَدَيْكُمْ ضِدِّي يَا صُورُ وَصِيْدُونُ وَسَائِرَ أَقَالِيمِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ أَتُجَازُونَنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ أَتَيْتُهُ؟ أَمْ تَسْعَوْنَ لإِيذَائِي؟ إِنِّي أُنْزِلُ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ بَغْتَةً وَسَرِيعاً.

5 Forasmuch as ye have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into your temples My goodly treasures;

٥ لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَيْتُمْ عَلَى ذَهَبِي وَفِضَّتِي، وَنَقَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ.

6 the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of Jevanim, that ye might remove them far from their border;

٦ وَبِعْتُمْ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءَ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الْيُونَانِيِّينَ لِتُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِ أَرْضِهِمْ.

7 behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your retribution upon your own head;

٧ وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ حَيْثُ بِعْتُمُوهُمْ، وَأَرُدُّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ سُوءَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ.

8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off; for the LORD hath spoken.

٨ وَأَبِيعُ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِأَيْدِي أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، فَيَبِيعُونَهُمْ بِدَوْرِهِمْ إِلَى السَّبَئِيِّينَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَصْدَرَ قَضَاءَهُ.

9 Proclaim ye this among the nations, prepare war; stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.

٩ نَادُوا بِهَذَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَتَأَهَّبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. اُحْشُدُوا أَبْطَالَكُمْ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ الْقِتَالِ.

10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears; let the weak say: 'I am strong.'

١٠ أَطْرِقُوا أَسْنَانَ مَحَارِيثِكُمْ وَحَوِّلُوهَا إِلَى سُيُوفٍ، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ إِلَى رِمَاحٍ، وَلْيَقُلِ الضَّعِيفُ: إِنَّنِي جَبَّارُ قِتَالٍ!

11 Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together; thither cause Thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD!

١١ أَسْرِعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ يَا كُلَّ الأُمَمِ، وَاجْتَمِعُوا هُنَاكَ، وَأَنْزِلْ يَا رَبُّ مُحَارِبِيكَ.

12 Let the nations be stirred up, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.

١٢ لِتَنْهَضِ الأُمَمُ وَتُقْبِلْ إِلَى وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ لأَنَّنِي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لأُدِينَ الشُّعُوبَ الْمُتَوَافِدَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ.

13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come, tread ye, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

١٣ احْمِلُوا الْمِنْجَلَ لأَنَّ الْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. تَعَالَوْا وَدُوسُوا فَإِنَّ مِعْصَرَةَ الْخَمْرِ قَدِ امْتَلأَتْ، وَالْحِيَاضَ فَاضَتْ بِكَثْرَةِ شَرِّهِمْ.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

١٤ جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ مُتَزَاحِمَةٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ.

15 The sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining.

١٥ قَدْ أَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، وَكَفَّتِ الْكَوَاكِبُ عَنِ الضِّيَاءِ.

16 And the LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD will be a refuge unto His people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

١٦ يَزْأَرُ الرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُجَلْجِلُ بِصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ فَتَرْجُفُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ؛ لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مَلْجَأً لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْناً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain; then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

١٧ فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ السَّاكِنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا الْغُرَبَاءُ أَبَداً.

18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

١٨ وَتَقْطُرُ الْجِبَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَمْرَةً عَذْبَةً، وَتَفِيضُ التِّلالُ بِاللَّبَنِ وَجَمِيعُ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَتَدَفَّقُ مَاءً، وَيَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يَرْوِي وَادِي السَّنْطِ،

19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

١٩ وَتُصْبِحُ مِصْرُ خَرَاباً، وَأَدُومُ قَفْراً مُوْحِشاً لِفَرْطِ مَا أَنْزَلُوهُ مِنْ ظُلْمٍ بِأَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، وَلأَنَّهُمْ سَفَكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً فِي دِيَارِهِمْ.

20 But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

٢٠ أَمَّا يَهُوذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَتَعْمُرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ.

21 And I will hold as innocent their blood that I have not held as innocent; and the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

٢١ وَأُزَكِّي دَمَهُمُ الَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ.
