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!
Ẹ fun ìpè ní Sioni, ẹ sì fún ìpè ìdágìrì ní òkè mímọ́ mi. Jẹ́ kí àwọn ará ilẹ̀ náà wárìrì, nítorí tí ọjọ́ Olúwa ń bọ̀ wá, nítorí ó kù sí dẹ̀dẹ̀.
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.
Ọjọ́ òkùnkùn àti ìrọ́kẹ̀kẹ̀, ọjọ́ ìkùùkuu àti òkùnkùn biribiri. Bí ọyẹ́ òwúrọ̀ ti í la bo orí àwọn òkè ńlá: àwọn ènìyàn ńlá àti alágbára; ya dé, ti kó ti ì sí irú rẹ̀ rí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni irú rẹ̀ kì yóò sí mọ́ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, títí dé ọdún ìran dé ìran.
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,
Iná ń jó níwájú wọ́n; ọwọ́ iná sì ń jó lẹ́yìn wọn. Ilẹ̀ náà dàbí ọgbà Edeni níwájú wọn, àti lẹ́yìn wọn bí ahoro ijù; nítòótọ́, kò sì sí ohun tí yóò bọ́ lọ́wọ́ wọn.
4 As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.
Ìrí wọn dàbí ìrí àwọn ẹṣin; wọ́n ń sáré lọ bí àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin ogun.
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.
Bí ariwo kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun ni wọn ń fo ní orí òkè bí ariwo ọ̀wọ́-iná tí ń jó koríko gbígbẹ, bí akọni ènìyàn tí a kójọ fún ogun.
6 Pained are peoples from its face, All faces have gathered paleness.
Ní ojú wọn, àwọn ènìyàn yóò jẹ ìrora púpọ̀: gbogbo ojú ní yóò ṣú dudu.
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.
Wọn yóò sáré bi àwọn alágbára; wọn yóò gùn odi bí ọkùnrin ológun; olúkúlùkù wọn yóò sì rìn lọ ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, wọn kì yóò sì yà kúrò ni ọ̀nà wọn.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹnìkan kì yóò kọlu ẹnìkejì rẹ̀; olúkúlùkù wọn yóò rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, nígbà tí wọn bá sì ṣubú lù idà wọn kì yóò gbọgbẹ́.
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.
Wọn yóò sáré síwá sẹ́yìn ní ìlú; wọn yóò súré lórí odi, wọn yóò gùn orí ilé; wọn yóò gbà ojú fèrèsé wọ̀ inú ilé bí olè.
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.
Ayé yóò mì níwájú wọn; àwọn ọ̀run yóò wárìrì; oòrùn àti òṣùpá yóò ṣókùnkùn, àwọn ìràwọ̀ yóò sì fà ìmọ́lẹ̀ wọn sẹ́yìn.
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?
Olúwa yóò sì bú ramúramù jáde níwájú ogun rẹ̀: nítorí ibùdó rẹ̀ tóbi gidigidi; nítorí alágbára ní òun, tí n mú ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ ṣẹ; nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa tóbi ó sì ní ẹ̀rù gidigidi; ara ta ni ó lè gbà á?
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.”
“Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà nísinsin yìí,” ni Olúwa wí, “Ẹ fi gbogbo ọkàn yín yípadà sí mi, àti pẹ̀lú àwẹ̀, àti pẹ̀lú ẹkún, àti pẹ̀lú ọ̀fọ̀.”
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.
Ẹ sì fa ọkàn yín ya, kì í sì í ṣe aṣọ yín, ẹ sì yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nítorí tí o pọ̀ ní oore-ọ̀fẹ́, ó sì kún fun àánú, ó lọ́ra láti bínú, ó sì ṣeun púpọ̀, ó sì ronúpìwàdà láti ṣe búburú.
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?
Ta ni ó mọ̀ bí òun yóò yípadà, kí o sì ronúpìwàdà, kí ó sì fi ìbùkún sílẹ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀— àní ọrẹ-jíjẹ àti ọrẹ mímu fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín?
15 Blow a horn in Zion, Sanctify a fast—proclaim a restraint.
Ẹ fún ìpè ní Sioni, ẹ ya àwẹ̀ kan sí mímọ́, ẹ pe àjọ tí ó ni ìrònú.
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.
Ẹ kó àwọn ènìyàn jọ, ẹ ya ìjọ sí mímọ́; ẹ pe àwọn àgbàgbà jọ, ẹ kó àwọn ọmọdé jọ, àti àwọn tí ń mú ọmú, jẹ kí ọkọ ìyàwó kúrò nínú ìyẹ̀wù rẹ̀. Kí ìyàwó sì kúrò nínú iyàrá rẹ̀.
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?”
Jẹ́ kí àwọn àlùfáà, àwọn ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa, sọkún láàrín ìloro àti pẹpẹ. Sí jẹ́ kí wọn wí pé, “Dá àwọn ènìyàn rẹ sí, Olúwa. Má sì ṣe fi ìní rẹ fun ẹ̀gàn, tí yóò sì di òwe ní àárín àwọn kèfèrí. Èéṣe tí wọn yóò fi wí láàrín àwọn ènìyàn pé, ‘Ọlọ́run wọn ha da?’”
18 And let YHWH be zealous for His land, And have pity on His people.
Nígbà náà ní Olúwa yóò jowú fún ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, yóò sì káàánú fún ènìyàn rẹ̀.
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,
Nítòótọ́, Olúwa yóò dá wọn lóhùn, yóò sì wí fun àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ pé: “Wò ó èmi yóò rán ọkà, àti ọtí wáìnì tuntun, àti òróró sí i yín, a ó sì fi wọn tẹ́ yín lọ́rùn; Èmi kì yóò sì fi yín ṣe ẹ̀gàn mọ́ láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà.
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.”
“Ṣùgbọ́n èmi yóò lé ogun àríwá jìnnà réré kúrò lọ́dọ̀ yín, èmi yóò sì lé e lọ sí ilẹ̀ tí ó ṣá, tí ó sì di ahoro, pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ̀ sí Òkun ìlà-oòrùn, àti ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ sí ìwọ̀-oòrùn Òkun. Òórùn rẹ̀ yóò sì gòkè, òórùn búburú rẹ̀ yóò sì gòkè.” Nítòótọ́ ó ti ṣe ohun ńlá.
21 Do not fear, O land! Be glad and rejoice, For YHWH has exerted Himself to work.
Má bẹ̀rù, ìwọ ilẹ̀; jẹ́ kí inú rẹ̀ dùn kí o sì yọ̀, nítorí Olúwa ti ṣe ohun ńlá.
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!
Ẹ má bẹ̀rù, ẹranko igbó, nítorí pápá oko aginjù ń rú. Nítorí igi ń so èso rẹ̀, igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ àti àjàrà ń so èso ọ̀rọ̀ wọn.
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.
Ẹ jẹ́ kí inú yín dùn, ẹ̀yin ọmọ Sioni, ẹ sì yọ̀ nínú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nítorí ó ti fi àkọ́rọ̀ òjò fún yín bí ó ti tọ́, Òun ti mú kí òjò rọ̀ sílẹ̀ fún un yín, àkọ́rọ̀ àti àrọ̀kúrò òjò ní oṣù kìn-ín-ní.
24 And the floors have been full [with] pure grain, And the presses have overflown [with] new wine and oil.
Àwọn ilẹ̀ ìpakà yóò kún fún ọkà; àti ọpọ́n wọn nì yóò sàn jáde pẹ̀lú ọtí wáìnì tuntun àti òróró.
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.
“Èmi yóò sì mú ọdún wọ̀nyí ti eṣú jẹ run padà fún un yín. Èyí tí eṣú agénijẹ àti eṣú jewéjewé ọwọ́ eṣú agénijẹ àti kòkòrò ajẹnirun mìíràn ti fi jẹ àwọn ogun ńlá mi tí mo rán sí àárín yín.
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.
Ẹ̀yin yóò ni ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ láti jẹ, títí ẹ̀yin yóò fi yó ẹ ó sì yín orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ẹni tí ó fi ìyanu bá yín lò; ojú kì yóò sì ti àwọn ènìyàn mi láéláé.
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.
Ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, èmi wà láàrín Israẹli, àti pé; Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti pé kò sí ẹlòmíràn, ojú kì yóò sì ti àwọn ènìyàn mí láéláé.
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.
“Yóò sì ṣe níkẹyìn ọjọ́, èmi yóò tú nínú Ẹ̀mí mí sí ara ènìyàn gbogbo; àwọn ọmọ yín ọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọ yín obìnrin yóò máa sọtẹ́lẹ̀, àwọn arúgbó yín yóò máa lá àlá, àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin yín yóò máa ríran.
29 And also on the menservants and on the maidservants, In those days I pour out My Spirit.
Àti pẹ̀lú sí ara àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin, àti sí ara àwọn ọmọ ọ̀dọ̀ obìnrin, ní èmi yóò tú ẹ̀mí mí jáde ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì.
30 And I have given wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood, and fire, and columns of smoke.
Èmi yóò sì fi iṣẹ́ ìyanu hàn ní ọrun àti ní ayé, ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti iná, àti ọ̀wọ́n èéfín.
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.
A á sọ oòrùn di òkùnkùn, àti òṣùpá di ẹ̀jẹ̀, kí ọjọ́ ńlá àti ọjọ́ ẹ̀rù Olúwa tó dé.
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!”
Yóò sí ṣe, ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó ba ké pè orúkọ Olúwa ní a ó gbàlà, nítorí ní òkè Sioni àti ní Jerusalẹmu ní ìgbàlà yóò gbé wà, bí Olúwa ti wí, àti nínú àwọn ìyókù tí Olúwa yóò pè.
