< Joel 3 >

1 “For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
“Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, ani yommuun boojuu Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem deebisutti,
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.
saboota hunda walitti qabeen gara Sulula Yehooshaafaaxitti gad isaan nan buusa. Anis achitti sababii dhaala koo, sababii Israaʼeliif isaanitti nan mura; isaan saboota gidduutti saba koo bittinneessanii biyya koos gargar qooddataniiruutii.
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.
Isaan uummata kootti ixaa buufatanii ijoollee dhiiraas sagaagalummaatti geeddarataniiru; akka dhuganiif dubara illee daadhii wayiniitti gurguratan.
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.
“Yaa Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaa, isin kutaaleen Filisxeem hundinuu, amma maal narraa qabdu? Isin waan ani godheef haaloo na baafachaa jirtuu? Yoo isin haaloo na baafachaa jirtu taʼe ani dafee ariitiidhaan waan isin hojjettan sana matuma keessanittin deebisa.
5 In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
Isin meetii fi warqee koo guurrattanii qabeenya koo filatamaas mana waaqeffannaa keessanitti geeffattaniirtuutii.
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.
Isin biyya isaanii irraa isaan fageessitanii uummata Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem Giriikotatti gurgurattan.
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,
“Kunoo, ani biyya isin itti isaan gurgurattan keessaa isaan baasee waan isin hojjettan sana matuma keessanitti nan deebisa.
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.”
Ani ilmaanii fi intallan keessan saba Yihuudaatti nan gurgura; isaan immoo saba fagoo jiru kan Saabaa jedhamutti dabarsanii isaan gurguratu.” Waaqayyo dubbateeraatii.
9 Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
Waan kana saboota gidduutti labsaa: Waraanaaf qophaaʼaa! Gootota kakaasaa! Loltoonni hundi dhiʼaatanii haa lolan.
10 Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
Maarashaa keessan tumaatii goraadee godhadhaa; haamtuu keessanis tumaatii eeboo godhadhaa. Namni laafaan, “Ani jabaa dha!” haa jedhu.
11 Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
Isin saboonni qixa hundaan dafaa kottaattii achitti walitti qabamaa. Yaa Waaqayyo, loltoota kee gad ergi!
12 “Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
“Saboonni haa kaʼan; isaan dafanii gara Sulula Yehooshaafaax haa dhufan; ani saboota gama hundaan jiranitti muruuf achi nan taaʼaatii.
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.”
Midhaan gaʼeeraatii haamtuu itti kaaʼaa. Kottaatii ija wayinii dhidhiitaa; boolli itti wayinii cuunfan guuteeraatii; sababii hamminni isaanii guddaa taʼeef boolli itti wayinii cuunfan guutee irra dhangalaʼeera!”
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
Waldaan guddaan, waldaan nama baayʼee sulula murtii keessatti wal gaʼeera! Guyyaan Waaqayyoo sulula murtii keessatti dhufuu gaʼeeraatii.
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Biiftuu fi addeessi ni dukkanaaʼu; urjiiwwanis siʼachi ifa hin kennan.
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.
Waaqayyo Xiyoon irraa ni iyya; Yerusaalem keessaas sagalee dhageessisa; lafaa fi samiin ni raafamu. Waaqayyo garuu saba isaatiif iddoo itti baqatan, saba Israaʼeliif immoo daʼoo ni taʼa.
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.”
“Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan Xiyoon keessa, gaara koo qulqulluu sana irra jiraadhu ni beektu. Yerusaalem qulqulluu taati; namoonni biyya alaa gonkumaa lammata ishee hin weeraran.
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.
“Gaafas tulluuwwan daadhii wayinii haaraa ni coccobsu; gaarranis aannan yaasu; lageen Yihuudaa hundinuu bishaaniin guutamu. Burqaan tokko mana Waaqayyoo keessaa burqee sulula Shixiim ni obaasa.
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.
Gibxi garuu ni onti; Edoomis duwwaa hafti; isaan dhiiga nama yakka hin qabnee biyyattii keessatti dhangalaasuudhaan saba Yihuudaatti daba hojjetaniiruutii.
20 And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
Yihuudaan bara baraan, Yerusaalemis dhaloota hundaaf iddoo jireenyaa ni taati.
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
Ani dhiiga isaanii kan yakka hin qabne sana utuun haaloo hin baʼin nan dhiisaa? Lakkii, hin dhiisu.”
