Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
“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 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.
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 have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
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 have all of you to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will all of you render me a recompence? and if all of you recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own 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 Because all of you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly 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 Judah and the children of Jerusalem have all of you sold unto the Grecians, that all of you might remove them far 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 Behold, I will raise them out of the place where all of you have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own 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 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 the LORD has 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 Proclaim all of you this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
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 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak 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 yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
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 up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge 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 all of you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the wine-vats overflow; for their wickedness 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 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Gwo foul yo, gwo foul nan vale desizyon an! Paske jou SENYÈ a toupre nan vale desizyon an.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Solèy la ak lalin nan va vin tou nwa, e zetwal yo va pèdi briyans yo.
16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will 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 all of you 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.
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 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 out 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 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.
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 Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Men Juda va gen moun ladann jis pou tout tan e Jérusalem de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.
Epi Mwen va vanje san ke M potko vanje yo, paske SENYÈ a rete nan Sion.”
