Joel 2
1 Blow ye the cornet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mount; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh;
Ukya mwe ukuk in okasak mwet uh Fineol Zion, inging mutal lun God. Kowos mwet Judah in rarrar! Len lun LEUM GOD apkuranme.
2 It is a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and of tempestuous obscurity, like the morning-dawn spread out upon the mountains: a people numerous and strong, the like of which hath never been and after it there will be none any more, even to the years of all coming generations.
Ac fah sie len lohsrlosr ac ohk, Sie len nukla ke pukunyeng sroalsroal. Un locust uh sikme oana un mwet mweun, Oana lohsr matoltol lohsreya fineol uh. Soenna sikyak kain ouiya inge meet, Ac fah wangin pac tok.
3 Before it devoureth a fire; and behind it singeth a flame: like the garden of 'Eden was the land before it [came], and after it is a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth from it.
Elos kangla ma kap fin acn uh oana in e uh pa esukla. Meet liki elos tuku, acn uh oana Ima Eden, Tukun elos som, acn uh mwesisla. Wangin ma ku in kaingla lukelos.
4 Like the appearance of horses is its appearance; and like horsemen, so do they run.
Elos oana horse uh; Elos kasrusr oana horse in mweun uh.
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains do they leap; they are like the noise of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, as a strong people arrayed for a battle.
Na ke elos srosro fin mangon eol uh, Elos erarak oana kusen chariot; Elos kisassas oana mah pao ke ac firir uh. Elos takla oana un mwet mweun lulap ma akola nu ke mweun.
6 At its presence the people are much pained: all the faces are covered with blackness.
Ke elos sikla, mwet nukewa tuninfongla; Mutun mwet nukewa fasrfasrla.
7 Like mighty men do they run; like men of war they climb up a wall; and they march every one on his own ways, and they turn not aside on their paths.
Elos anwuk oana mwet mweun; Elos fanuk pot uh oana solse uh. Elos nukewa fahsr suwohs nu meet Ac tia kuhfla nu saya,
8 And they do not press one another; every one on his beaten track do they go forward: and they pass through between war-like weapons, and change not their purpose.
Ac tia pac asinuki nu sin sie sin sie. Elos fahsryang na alukela kutena mwe kutong nu selos, Ac wangin ma ku in tulokunulosi.
9 Into the city they hasten forward; on the wall they run; into the houses they climb up; through the windows they make their entrance like a thief.
Elos yuyak nu in siti uh; Elos fanukya pot uh; Elos fanyak nu fin lohm uh Ac utyak ke winto uh oana mwet pisrapasr uh.
10 Before them trembleth the earth; the heavens quake; the sun and the moon are obscured, and the stars withdraw their brightness.
Faclu usrusryak ke elos fahsr nu meet; Ac yen engyeng uh rarrar. Faht uh ac malem uh lohsrlosrani, Ac itu uh tila saromrom.
11 And the Lord uttereth his voice before his army; for very numerous is his camp; for strong is he that executeth his word; for great is the day of the Lord and very terrible; and who is able to endure it?
LEUM GOD El ac sapsap nu sin un mwet mweun lal oana pusren pulahl. Un mwet mweun su aksol Arulana pukanten ac fokoko. Ac fuka lupan mwe aksangeng ke len lun LEUM GOD! Su ac fah ku in painmoulla?
12 But even now also, saith the Lord, return ye fully to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nwe ouinge, kowos srakna ku in auliyak Ke lalo, tung, ac mwemelil, Ac foloko nu yuruk.
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and return unto the Lord your God; for gracious and merciful is he, long suffering, and of great kindness, and he bethinketh himself of the evil.
Lela inse musalla lowos in akkalemye asor lowos; Seya nuknuk mukena srakna sufal.” Foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lowos. El kulang ac sessesla ke pakoten. El mongfisrasr ac El karinganang wuleang lal. Pacl nukewa El akola in nunak munas ac tia sa in kai.
14 He that is conscious [of guilt], let him return and repent: when [the plague] may leave behind it a blessing; even a meat-offering and a drink-offering unto the Lord your God.
Sahp LEUM GOD lowos El ac aolla nunak lal, Ac akinsewowoye kowos ke fokin ima puspis. Na kowos fah ku in sifil kisakin wheat ac wain nu sel.
15 Blow the cornet in Zion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly;
Ukya mwe ukuk Fineol Zion; Sapkin in oasr sie tukeni lulap, ac mwet nukewa in lalo.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Eisani mwet nukewa nu sie; Akoelosla nu ke sie tukeni mutal. Usani mwet matu, Oayapa tulik srisrik Ac tulik fusr. Finne mwet ma tufahna payuk an, Elos in filiya lohm selos ac wi pac tuku.
17 Between the porch and the altar let the priests weep, the ministers of the Lord, and let them say, Spare, O Lord, thy people, and give not up thy heritage to reproach, for nations to make a by-word of them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Mwet tol su kulansupu LEUM GOD Inmasrlon loang mutal ac acn in utyak lun Tempul, Enenu in tung ac pre: “O LEUM GOD, pakomuta mwet lom. Nikmet fuhlela mutunfacl saya in pilesrekut ac aksruksrukye kut Ke elos fahk, ‘Pia God lowos an?’”
18 And the Lord was zealous for his land, and he had pity for his people.
Na LEUM GOD El sifil akkalemye nunak lal nu ke acn uh, Ac sifil pakomuta mwet lal.
19 And the Lord answered and said unto his people, “Behold, I will send you the corn, and the young wine, and the oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will not give you up any more to be a reproach among the nations:
El topuk pre lalos ac fahk, “Inge nga fah sot nu suwos, Wheat, wain ac oil in olive, Ac kowos ac fah mut. Mutanfahl saya ac fah tia sifil aksruksrukye kowos.
20 And the host of the north will I remove far away from you, and I will drive it off into a land barren and desolate, with its advance toward the eastern sea, and its rereward toward the western sea; and its stench shall ascend, and its ill savor shall come up, because it hath done great things.”
Nga fah kunauselik un mwet mweun matol se ma tuku epang me, Ac fah lusla kutu selos nu yen mwesis. U se ma fahsr meet ah, ac ukohkyak nu in Meoa Misa, U se ma fahsr etok ah, ac ukohkyak nu in Meoa Mediterranean. Mano misa lalos ac fohlelana acn uh. Nga fah kunauselosla ke sripen ma nukewa ma elos oru nu suwos.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice; for the Lord hath done great things.
“Acn inima uh, nikmet sangeng, A kowos in engan ac insewowo Ke ma nukewa LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness have become green; for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine yield their strength.
Kosro inimae, nikmet sangeng. Insroan mah uh srunak folfol; Sak uh isus fahko, Ac arulana pus fokin fig ac grape.
23 And ye children of Zion, be glad, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he hath given you the first rain in beneficence, and he hath caused to come down for you the rain, the first rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].
“Mwet Zion, kowos in insewowo, Ac engankin ma LEUM GOD lowos El oru nu suwos. El sot lupan af fal nu suwos ke pacl la. El supweya af se meet ke pacl in taknelik, Ac af se tok ke pacl in kosrani, oana meet ah.
24 And the threshing-floors are full of corn, and the vats overflow with young wine and oil.
Nien sisi kulun wheat fah sessesla ke wheat, Luf sisken acn in orek wain fah kahkkakla ke wain ac oil in olive.
25 And I will repay to you the years [in] which the locust hath eaten [all], with the cankerworm, and the cricket, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I had sent against you.
Nga fah folokonot ma lowos ma tuh musalla Ke yac ma u in locust uh tuh kangla fokin ima lowos. Nga pa tuh supwama u in locust matol ingan in lain kowos.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall not be made ashamed unto eternity.
Inge ac fah pukanten ma kowos in kang ac kowos fah kihp. Kowos fah kaksakin LEUM GOD lowos, Su tuh oru ma usrnguk inmasrlowos. Mwet luk ac fah tia sifilpa akmwekinyeyuk.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else; and my people shall not be made ashamed unto eternity.
Na mwet Israel, kowos fah etu lah nga oasr inmasrlowos, Ac lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa God lowos, Ac wangin pac sie sayuk. Mwet luk ac fah tiana sifilpa aksruksrukyeyuk.
28 And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit over all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams: your young men shall see visions:
“Tukun ma inge, nga fah okoala ngunik nu fin mwet nukewa: Wen nutuwos ac acn nutuwos fah sulkakin kas luk, Mukul matu lowos fah mweme, Ac mukul fusr lowos fah liye aruruma.
29 And also over the men-servants and over the maid-servants in those days will I pour out my spirit.
In pacl sac nga fah okoala ngunik Nu fin mwet kulansap pac, kewana mukul ac mutan.
30 And I will display wonderful tokens in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
“Nga fah oru ma sakirik yen engyeng uh ac fin faclu In fahkak ke len sac. Ac fah oasr srah sororla, ac firir lun e, ac pukunyeng in kulasr.
31 The sun shall be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the day of the Lord, the great and the terrible.
Faht uh ac fah lohsrla, Ac malem ac fah srusrala oana srah Meet liki len lulap ac aksangeng lun LEUM GOD ac tuku.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall escape; for on mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and among the remnant whom the Lord calleth.
Tusruktu elos nukewa su siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD ac fah moliyukla. Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, ‘Kutu sin mwet su muta Fineol Zion ac in Jerusalem ac fah tia sun mwe ongoiya inge. Elos su nga sulela fah painmoulla.’”
