Joel 3
1 “For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
看，在那些日子，在那個時候，當我轉變猶大和耶路撒冷的命運時，
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.
我必聚集萬民，領他們下到約沙法特山谷，在那裏我要關於我的，我的基業以色列，審問他們，因為他們使我的百姓散居在異民中，且瓜分了我的土地，
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.
為我的百姓捸了籤，以男童換取淫婦，賣掉女童，換洒買醉。
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.
提洛、漆冬和培肋舍特所有的地域! 你們想對我做什麼﹖你們想對我施行報復嗎﹖若你們向我報復，我立刻將你們的作為歸在你們的頭上，
5 In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
因為你們奪去了我的金銀，將我的珍寶帶到你們的宮中；
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.
又將猶大子民和耶路撒冷子民賣給雅汪人，使他們遠離自己的祖國。
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,
看，不拘你們把他們出賣到什麼城邑和地方，我必要使他們從那裏回來，卻把你們所做的，歸在你們頭上：
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.”
將你們的兒女賣在猶大子民的手裏，使他們再轉賣給遠方的舍巴人，因為上主這樣說了。
9 Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
你們要在異民中宣布：準備聖戰，激勵勇士! 一切戰士應前進襲擊!
10 Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
將你們的犁頭鑄成刀劍，將你們的鐮刀鑄成長槍；連者也要說：我是個戰士!
11 Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
四周的異民! 你們急速前來，在這裏聚合。上主，使你的勇士降臨吧!
12 “Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
異民，起來，前往約沙法特山谷，因為我要在那裏坐堂，審訊四周的一切異民。
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.”
伸出鐮刀，因為莊稼已成熟；前來踐踏! 因為洒榨已溢出，因為他們已惡貫滿盈。
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
成群結隊的人齊集在審判谷，因為上主的日子已臨近了審判谷。
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
太陽和月亮昏暗了，星辰失去了光芒。
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.
上主從熙雍怒吼，從耶路撒冷發出自己的聲音，天地為之震動；但上主卻是自己百姓的避難所，是以色列子民的堡壘。
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.”
那時，他們必要知道：我上主是你們的天主，我住在熙雍，我的聖山上。那時，耶路撒冷必要成為聖地，外人再不能從那裏經過。
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.
到了那一天，山嶽必要滴下新洒，丘陵必要流下乳汁，猶大的一切河流必要湧流清水；從上主的殿裏，將有一清泉流出，澆灌史庭山谷。
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.
埃及將變成荒地，厄東將成為曠野，因為他們虐待了判斷子民，在他們的境內傾流了無辜者的血。
20 And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
但猶大永遠有人居住，耶路撒冷也世世代代有人居住。
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
我必要追討坰未追討的債血；因為上主住在熙雍。
