Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
| כִּי הִנֵּה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה וּבָעֵת הַהִיא אֲשֶׁר (אשוב) [אָשִׁיב] אֶת־שְׁבוּת יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלָֽ͏ִם׃ |
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.
| וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶת־כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם וְהוֹרַדְתִּים אֶל־עֵמֶק יְהוֹשָׁפָט וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּי עִמָּם שָׁם עַל־עַמִּי וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר פִּזְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם וְאֶת־אַרְצִי חִלֵּֽקוּ׃ |
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.
| וְאֶל־עַמִּי יַדּוּ גוֹרָל וַֽיִּתְּנוּ הַיֶּלֶד בַּזּוֹנָה וְהַיַּלְדָּה מָכְרוּ בַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁתּֽוּ׃ |
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;
| וְגַם מָה־אַתֶּם לִי צֹר וְצִידוֹן וְכֹל גְּלִילוֹת פְּלָשֶׁת הַגְּמוּל אַתֶּם מְשַׁלְּמִים עָלָי וְאִם־גֹּמְלִים אַתֶּם עָלַי קַל מְהֵרָה אָשִׁיב גְּמֻֽלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם׃ |
5 Because all of you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
| אֲשֶׁר־כַּסְפִּי וּזְהָבִי לְקַחְתֶּם וּמַֽחֲמַדַּי הַטֹּבִים הֲבֵאתֶם לְהֵיכְלֵיכֶֽם׃ |
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.
| וּבְנֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְנֵי יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם מְכַרְתֶּם לִבְנֵי הַיְּוָנִים לְמַעַן הַרְחִיקָם מֵעַל גְּבוּלָֽם׃ |
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:
| הִנְנִי מְעִירָם מִן־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־מְכַרְתֶּם אֹתָם שָׁמָּה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי גְמֻֽלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם׃ |
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.
| וּמָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶם בְּיַד בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּמְכָרוּם לִשְׁבָאיִם אֶל־גּוֹי רָחוֹק כִּי יְהֹוָה דִּבֵּֽר׃ |
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:
| קִרְאוּ־זֹאת בַּגּוֹיִם קַדְּשׁוּ מִלְחָמָה הָעִירוּ הַגִּבּוֹרִים יִגְּשׁוּ יַֽעֲלוּ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃ |
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
| כֹּתּוּ אִתֵּיכֶם לַחֲרָבוֹת וּמַזְמְרֹֽתֵיכֶם לִרְמָחִים הַֽחַלָּשׁ יֹאמַר גִּבּוֹר אָֽנִי׃ |
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
| עוּשׁוּ וָבֹאוּ כׇֽל־הַגּוֹיִם מִסָּבִיב וְנִקְבָּצוּ שָׁמָּה הַֽנְחַת יְהֹוָה גִּבּוֹרֶֽיךָ׃ |
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.
| יֵעוֹרוּ וְיַעֲלוּ הַגּוֹיִם אֶל־עֵמֶק יְהוֹשָׁפָט כִּי שָׁם אֵשֵׁב לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם מִסָּבִֽיב׃ |
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.
| שִׁלְחוּ מַגָּל כִּי בָשַׁל קָצִיר בֹּאֽוּ רְדוּ כִּֽי־מָלְאָה גַּת הֵשִׁיקוּ הַיְקָבִים כִּי רַבָּה רָעָתָֽם׃ |
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
| הֲמוֹנִים הֲמוֹנִים בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרוּץ כִּי קָרוֹב יוֹם יְהֹוָה בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרֽוּץ׃ |
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
| שֶׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ קָדָרוּ וְכוֹכָבִים אָסְפוּ נׇגְהָֽם׃ |
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.
| וַיהֹוָה מִצִּיּוֹן יִשְׁאָג וּמִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם יִתֵּן קוֹלוֹ וְרָעֲשׁוּ שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץ וַֽיהֹוָה מַחֲסֶה לְעַמּוֹ וּמָעוֹז לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
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.
| וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם שֹׁכֵן בְּצִיּוֹן הַר־קׇדְשִׁי וְהָיְתָה יְרֽוּשָׁלַ͏ִם קֹדֶשׁ וְזָרִים לֹא־יַֽעַבְרוּ־בָהּ עֽוֹד׃ |
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.
| וְהָיָה בַיּוֹם הַהוּא יִטְּפוּ הֶהָרִים עָסִיס וְהַגְּבָעוֹת תֵּלַכְנָה חָלָב וְכׇל־אֲפִיקֵי יְהוּדָה יֵלְכוּ מָיִם וּמַעְיָן מִבֵּית יְהֹוָה יֵצֵא וְהִשְׁקָה אֶת־נַחַל הַשִּׁטִּֽים׃ |
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.
| מִצְרַיִם לִשְׁמָמָה תִֽהְיֶה וֶאֱדוֹם לְמִדְבַּר שְׁמָמָה תִּֽהְיֶה מֵֽחֲמַס בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה אֲשֶׁר־שָׁפְכוּ דָם־נָקִיא בְּאַרְצָֽם׃ |
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
| וִיהוּדָה לְעוֹלָם תֵּשֵׁב וִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לְדוֹר וָדֽוֹר׃ |
21 For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwells in Zion.
| וְנִקֵּיתִי דָּמָם לֹֽא־נִקֵּיתִי וַיהֹוָה שֹׁכֵן בְּצִיּֽוֹן׃ |
