Joel 3
1 “For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Seyè a di ankò: -Lè sa a, jou sa yo, m'a fè peyi Jida a ak lavil Jerizalèm kanpe ankò.
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.
Apre sa, m'a sanble tout nasyon yo. M'a fè yo desann nan Fon Jijman Bondye a. Se la mwen pral jije yo pou tou sa yo fè Izrayèl, pèp mwen an, moun pa m' yo. Paske, se yo ki te gaye moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Lèfini, yo te separe peyi mwen an.
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.
Yo te tire osò pou konnen pou ki moun prizonye yo ap ye. Yo te vann ti gason yo pou yo te ka gen lajan pou al nan jennès. Yo te vann tifi yo pou yo te ka gen lajan pou achte bweson, Lèfini, yo bwè jouk yo sou.
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.
Nou menm moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon, sa n'ap chache fè m' konsa? Nou menm tou ki rete nan tout zòn peyi Filisti a, se chache n'ap chache fè m' peye pou sa m' te fè nou? Si nou vle tire revanj nou sou mwen, enben, anvan nou bat je nou, m'ap fè nou peye sa.
5 In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
Nou te pran tout ajan ak tout lò mwen yo, nou pote tout bèl gwo richès mwen yo ale nan tanp nou yo.
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.
Nou pran moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, nou mennen yo byen lwen peyi yo: n' al vann yo bay moun peyi Lagrès.
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,
Koulye a, mwen pral fè yo soti kote nou te vann yo a. Mwen pral fè nou sa nou te fè yo a.
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.”
Mwen pral vann pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo. Mwen pral lage yo nan men moun Jida yo. Yo menm, yo pral vann yo bay sabeyen yo ki rete nan yon peyi byen lwen. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
9 Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
Mache fè piblikasyon sa a nan mitan tout nasyon yo! Pare nou pou n' al fè lagè pou Bondye! Rele tout vanyan gason yo! Sanble tout sòlda yo! Fè yo mache pran yo!
10 Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
Pran lam fè ki nan chari nou yo fè nepe. Pran kouto digo nou yo, fè fwenn ak yo. Menm moun ki pi fèb yo pral di yo vanyan gason.
11 Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
Nou menm, tout nasyon ki sou lizyè fwontyè peyi a, prese non! Kouri vini! Sanble nan fon an! Seyè, voye vanyan sòlda ou yo al atake yo!
12 “Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
Se pou tout nasyon ki sou lizyè fwontyè peyi a sanble tout lame yo pou yo vini nan Fon Jijman an, paske se la mwen pral chita pou m' jije tout nasyon ki sou lizyè fwontyè peyi a.
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.”
Moun sa yo twò mechan. Koupe tèt yo tankou lè n'ap ranmase rekòt ki mi. Kraze yo anba pye nou tankou lè n'ap kraze rezen nan basen pou fè diven. Barik ji rezen yo plen ap debòde.
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
Foul moun sou foul moun nan Fon Jijman an! Paske jou Seyè a pa lwen rive nan Fon Jijman an.
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Solèy la ak lalin lan vin tou nwa. Zetwal yo pa klere nan syèl la.
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.
Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon, l'ap gwonde. Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, l'ap pale byen fò. Syèl la ak latè a ap tranble. Men, se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje pèp li a. Se li k'ap pran defans moun Izrayèl yo.
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.”
Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Mwen rete sou mòn Siyon, mòn yo mete apa pou mwen an. Jerizalèm va yon lavil apa pou Bondye. Moun lòt nasyon yo p'ap ka pran l' pou yo ankò.
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.
Jou sa a, mòn yo pral kouvri ak jaden rezen. Bèf pral sou tout ti mòn yo. Va gen kont dlo nan larivyè peyi Jida yo. Yon sous dlo pral koule soti nan kay Seyè a. Li pral wouze bafon zakasya yo.
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.
Peyi Lejip pral tounen yon savann dezole. Peyi Edon pral tounen yon dezè. Paske, yo te fè moun peyi Jida yo mechanste, yo te touye yon bann inonsan nan peyi yo.
20 And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
-(we vèsè pwochen)
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
Men, m'a pran revanj moun yo te touye yo. Mwen p'ap fè pa moun ki koupab yo. Men, va gen moun rete nan peyi Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm pou tout tan. Epitou, mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a fè mòn Siyon an tounen kay mwen ankò.
