Joel 3

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

That there! in the days those and at the time that when (I will cause to turn back *Q(K)*) [the] captivity of Judah and Jerusalem.

2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

And I will gather all the nations and I will bring down them to [the] valley of Jehoshaphat and I will enter into judgment with them there on people my and inheritance my Israel which they have scattered among the nations and land my they have divided up.

3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

And to people my they have cast a lot and they have exchanged the boy for the prostitute and the girl they have sold for wine and they have drunk.

4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompence me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

And also what? [are] you to me O Tyre and Sidon and all [the] territories of Philistia ¿ recompense [are] you repaying to me and or? making recompense [are] you to me swift quickly I will return recompense your on head your.

5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

That silver my and gold my you took and desirable things my good you took to own temples your.

6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

And [the] people of Judah and [the] people of Jerusalem you sold to [the] people of the Greeks so as to remove far away them from on own territory their.

7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

Here I [am] about to rouse them from the place where you sold them there and I will return recompense your on head your.

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 Sabeans, to a people far off: for YHWH hath spoken it.

And I will sell sons your and daughters your in [the] hand of [the] people of Judah and they will sell them to [the] Sabeans to a nation distant for Yahweh he has spoken.

9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

Proclaim this among the nations consecrate a war rouse the warriors let them draw near let them go up all [the] men of war.

10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

Beat plowshares your into swords and pruning knives your into spears the weak [man] let him say [am] a warrior I.

11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O YHWH.

Hurry and come O all the nations from round about and they will gather there bring down O Yahweh warriors your.

12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

Let them be roused and they may go up the nations to [the] valley of Jehoshaphat for there I will sit to judge all the nations from round about.

13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

Send out [the] sickle for it has grown ripe [the] harvest come tread for it is full [the] winepress they are overflowing the wine-vats for [is] great evil their.

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of YHWH is near in the valley of decision.

Multitudes multitudes [are] in [the] valley of decision for [is] near [the] day of Yahweh in [the] valley of decision.

15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Sun and moon they have become dark and [the] stars they have withdrawn brightness their.

16 YHWH also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but YHWH will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

And Yahweh from Zion he will roar and from Jerusalem he will give forth voice his and they will shake heaven and earth and Yahweh [will be] a refuge for people his and a stronghold for [the] people of Israel.

17 So shall ye know that I am YHWH your Elohim dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

And you will know that I [am] Yahweh God your [who] dwells in Zion [the] mountain of holiness my and it will be Jerusalem a holy place and strangers not they will pass in it again.

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

And it will be on the day that they will drip the mountains sweet wine and the hills they will go milk and all [the] ravines of Judah they will go water and a spring from [the] house of Yahweh it will go forth and it will water [the] wadi of Shittim.

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.

Egypt a desolation it will become and Edom a wilderness of desolation it will become from [the] violence of [the] people of Judah whom they shed blood innocent in land their.

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

And Judah for ever it will remain and Jerusalem to a generation and a generation.

21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for YHWH dwelleth in Zion.

And I will leave unpunished blood their [which] not I left unpunished and Yahweh [is] dwelling in Zion.
