< Joel 3 >

1 “For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
«لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،١
2 Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been in judgment with them there, Concerning My people and My inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
أَجْمَعُ كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُنَزِّلُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدُوهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَقَسَمُوا أَرْضِي،٢
3 And for My people they cast a lot, And they give the young man for a harlot, And have sold the young woman for wine, That they may drink.
وَأَلْقَوْا قُرْعَةً عَلَى شَعْبِي، وَأَعْطَوْا ٱلصَّبِيَّ بِزَانِيَةٍ، وَبَاعُوا ٱلْبِنْتَ بِخَمْرٍ لِيَشْرَبُوا.٣
4 And also, what [are] you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Are you rendering repayment to Me? And if you are giving repayment to Me, Swiftly, quickly, I return your repayment on your head.
«وَمَاذَا أَنْتُنَّ لِي يَا صُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَجَمِيعَ دَائِرَةِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ هَلْ تُكَافِئُونَنِي عَنِ ٱلْعَمَلِ، أَمْ هَلْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِي شَيْئًا؟ سَرِيعًا بِٱلْعَجَلِ أَرُدُّ عَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ.٤
5 In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
لِأَنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ فِضَّتِي وَذَهَبِي، وَأَدْخَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ.٥
6 And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, You have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
وَبِعْتُمْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لِبَنِي ٱلْيَاوَانِيِّينَ لِكَيْ تُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِهِمْ.٦
7 Behold, I am stirring them up out of the place To where you have sold them, And I have turned back your repayment on your head,
هَأَنَذَا أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُمُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَرُدُّ عَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ.٧
8 And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Sabeans, To a nation far off, for YHWH has spoken.”
وَأَبِيعُ بَنِيكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِيَدِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا لِيَبِيعُوهُمْ لِلسَّبَائِيِّينَ، لِأُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».٨
9 Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
نَادُوا بِهَذَا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. قَدِّسُوا حَرْبًا. أَنْهِضُوا ٱلْأَبْطَالَ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ.٩
10 Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
اِطْبَعُوا سِكَّاتِكُمْ سُيُوفًا، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ رِمَاحًا. لِيَقُلِ ٱلضَّعِيفُ: «بَطَلٌ أَنَا!»١٠
11 Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
أَسْرِعُوا وَهَلُمُّوا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَٱجْتَمِعُوا. إِلَى هُنَاكَ أَنْزِلْ يَارَبُّ أَبْطَالَكَ.١١
12 “Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
«تَنْهَضُ وَتَصْعَدُ ٱلْأُمَمُ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، لِأَنِّي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لِأُحَاكِمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ.١٢
13 Send forth a sickle, For harvest has ripened, Come in, come down, for the press has been filled, Winepresses have overflowed, For great [is] their wickedness.”
أَرْسِلُوا ٱلْمِنْجَلَ لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. هَلُمُّوا دُوسُوا لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةُ. فَاضَتِ ٱلْحِيَاضُ لِأَنَّ شَرَّهُمْ كَثِيرٌ».١٣
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ فِي وَادِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ.١٤
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ يَظْلُمَانِ، وَٱلنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا.١٥
16 And YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and earth have shaken, And YHWH [is] a refuge to His people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.
وَٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ يُزَمْجِرُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ يُعْطِي صَوْتَهُ، فَتَرْجُفُ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَلْجَأٌ لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْنٌ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.١٦
17 “And you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem has been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.”
«فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، سَاكِنًا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي. وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلَا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا ٱلْأَعَاجِمُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.١٧
18 And it has come to pass in that day, The mountains drop down juice, And the hills flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of YHWH goes forth, And has watered the Valley of Shittim.
«وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تَقْطُرُ عَصِيرًا، وَٱلتِّلَالَ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا، وَجَمِيعَ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَفِيضُ مَاءً، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ وَيَسْقِي وَادِي ٱلسَّنْطِ.١٨
19 “Egypt becomes a desolation, And Edom becomes a desolation, a wilderness, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
مِصْرُ تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا، وَأَدُومُ تَصِيرُ قَفْرًا خَرِبًا، مِنْ أَجْلِ ظُلْمِهِمْ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَفَكُوا دَمًا بَرِيئًا فِي أَرْضِهِمْ.١٩
20 And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
وَلَكِنَّ يَهُوذَا تُسْكَنُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.٢٠
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
وَأُبَرِّئُ دَمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».٢١
