Joel 2
1 Blow a horn in Zion, And shout in My holy hill, All inhabitants of the earth tremble, For the Day of YHWH is coming, for [it is] near!
Ukya mwe ukuk in okasak mwet uh Fineol Zion, inging mutal lun God. Kowos mwet Judah in rarrar! Len lun LEUM GOD apkuranme.
2 A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like there has not been from of old, And after it there is not again—Until the years of generation and generation.
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 fire has consumed, And after it a flame burns, As the Garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness—a desolation! And also there has not been to it an escape,
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 As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.
Elos oana horse uh; Elos kasrusr oana horse in mweun uh.
5 As the noise of chariots, they skip on the tops of the mountains, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for 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 Pained are peoples from its face, All faces have gathered paleness.
Ke elos sikla, mwet nukewa tuninfongla; Mutun mwet nukewa fasrfasrla.
7 They run as mighty ones, As men of war they go up a wall, And they each go in his own ways, And they do not change 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 each does not press his brother, They each go on in his way, If they fall by the missile, they are not cut off.
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 In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as 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 At their face the earth has trembled, The heavens have shaken, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
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 YHWH has given forth His voice before His force, For His camp [is] very great, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the Day of YHWH—very fearful, And who bears 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 “And also now,” a declaration of YHWH, “Turn back to Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.”
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nwe ouinge, kowos srakna ku in auliyak Ke lalo, tung, ac mwemelil, Ac foloko nu yuruk.
13 And tear your heart, and not your garments, And turn back to your God YHWH, For He [is] gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And relenting from 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 Who knows—He turns back, Indeed—He has relented, And He has left behind Him a blessing, A present and drink-offering of your God YHWH?
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 a horn in Zion, Sanctify a fast—proclaim a restraint.
Ukya mwe ukuk Fineol Zion; Sapkin in oasr sie tukeni lulap, ac mwet nukewa in lalo.
16 Gather the people, sanctify an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Let a bridegroom go out from his inner chamber, And a 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 Let the priests weep between the porch and the altar, servants of YHWH, And let them say: “Have pity, O YHWH, on Your people, And do not give Your inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, 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 let YHWH be zealous for His land, And have pity on His people.
Na LEUM GOD El sifil akkalemye nunak lal nu ke acn uh, Ac sifil pakomuta mwet lal.
19 Let YHWH answer and say to His people, “Behold, I am sending to you the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And you have been satisfied with it, And I make you no longer a reproach among 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 northern I put far off from you, And have driven him to a land dry and desolate, With his face toward the Eastern Sea, And his rear to the Western Sea, And his stink has come up, And his stench comes up, For he has exerted himself to work.”
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 Do not fear, O land! Be glad and rejoice, For YHWH has exerted Himself to work.
“Acn inima uh, nikmet sangeng, A kowos in engan ac insewowo Ke ma nukewa LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos.
22 Do not fear, O livestock of the field! For pastures of a wilderness have sprung up, For the tree has borne its fruit, Fig tree and vine have given their strength!
Kosro inimae, nikmet sangeng. Insroan mah uh srunak folfol; Sak uh isus fahko, Ac arulana pus fokin fig ac grape.
23 And you sons of Zion, Be glad and rejoice in your God YHWH, For He has given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causes a shower to come down to you, Early rain and spring rain [as] in the beginning.
“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 floors have been full [with] pure grain, And the presses have overflown [with] new 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 have repaid to you the years that the locust consumed, The cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that I 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 you have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the Name of your God YHWH, Who has dealt with you wonderfully, And My people are not ashamed for all time.
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 you have known that I [am] in the midst of Israel, And I [am] your God YHWH, and there is none else, And My people are not ashamed for all time.
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 has come to pass afterward, I pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters have prophesied, Your old men dream dreams, Your young men 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 on the menservants and on the maidservants, In those days I pour out My Spirit.
In pacl sac nga fah okoala ngunik Nu fin mwet kulansap pac, kewana mukul ac mutan.
30 And I have given wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood, and fire, and columns 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 is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the Day of YHWH, The great and the fearful.
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 has come to pass, Everyone who calls on the Name of YHWH is delivered, For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As YHWH has said, And among the remnants whom YHWH is calling!”
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.’”
