Joel 1
1 A word of YHWH that has been to Joel, son of Pethuel:
Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Yoel bin Petuel.
2 Hear this, you aged ones, And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land, Has this been in your days? Or in the days of your fathers?
Dengarlah ini, hai para tua-tua, pasanglah telinga, hai seluruh penduduk negeri! Pernahkah terjadi seperti ini dalam zamanmu, atau dalam zaman nenek moyangmu?
3 Concerning it talk to your sons, And your sons to their sons, And their sons to another generation.
Ceritakanlah tentang itu kepada anak-anakmu, dan biarlah anak-anakmu menceritakannya kepada anak-anak mereka, dan anak-anak mereka kepada angkatan yang kemudian.
4 What is left of the palmer-worm, the locust has eaten, And what is left of the locust, The cankerworm has eaten, And what is left of the cankerworm, The caterpillar has eaten.
Apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pengerip telah dimakan belalang pindahan, apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pindahan telah dimakan belalang pelompat, dan apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pelompat telah dimakan belalang pelahap.
5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep, And howl all drinking wine, because of the juice, For it has been cut off from your mouth.
Bangunlah, hai pemabuk, dan menangislah! Merataplah, hai semua peminum anggur karena anggur baru, sebab sudah dirampas dari mulutmu anggur itu!
6 For a nation has come up on My land, Strong, and there is no number, Its teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, And it has the jaw-teeth of a lioness.
Sebab maju menyerang negeriku suatu bangsa yang kuat dan tidak terbilang banyaknya; giginya bagaikan gigi singa, dan taringnya bagaikan taring singa betina.
7 It has made My vine become a desolation, And My fig tree become a splinter, It has made it thoroughly bare, and has cast down, Its branches have been made white.
Telah dibuatnya pohon anggurku menjadi musnah, dan pohon araku menjadi buntung; dikelupasnya kulitnya sama sekali dan dilemparkannya, sehingga carang-carangnya menjadi putih.
8 Wail, as a virgin girds with sackcloth, For the husband of her youth.
Merataplah seperti anak dara yang berlilitkan kain kabung karena mempelai, kekasih masa mudanya.
9 Present and drink-offering have been cut off from the house of YHWH, The priests have mourned, servants of YHWH.
Korban sajian dan korban curahan sudah lenyap dari rumah TUHAN; dan berkabunglah para imam, yakni pelayan-pelayan TUHAN.
10 The field is spoiled, The ground has mourned, For the grain is spoiled, New wine has been dried up, oil languishes.
Ladang sudah musnah, tanah berkabung, sebab gandum sudah musnah, buah anggur sudah kering, minyak sudah menipis.
11 Be ashamed, you farmers, Howl, vinedressers, for wheat and for barley, For the harvest of the field has perished.
Para petani menjadi malu, tukang-tukang kebun anggur meratap karena gandum dan karena jelai, sebab sudah musnah panen ladang.
12 The vine has been dried up, And the fig tree languishes, Pomegranate, also palm, and apple-tree, All trees of the field have withered, For joy has been dried up from the sons of men.
Pohon anggur sudah kering dan pohon ara sudah merana; pohon delima, juga pohon korma dan pohon apel, segala pohon di padang sudah mengering. Sungguh, kegirangan melayu dari antara anak-anak manusia.
13 Gird, and lament, you priests, Howl, you servants of the altar, Come in, lodge in sackcloth, servants of my God, For present and drink-offering have been withheld from the house of your God.
Lilitkanlah kain kabung dan mengeluhlah, hai para imam; merataplah, hai para pelayan mezbah; masuklah, bermalamlah dengan memakai kain kabung, hai para pelayan Allahku, sebab sudah ditahan dari rumah Allahmu, korban sajian dan korban curahan.
14 Sanctify a fast, proclaim a restraint, Gather [the] elderly [and] all those inhabiting the land, [Into the] house of your God YHWH,
Adakanlah puasa yang kudus, maklumkanlah perkumpulan raya; kumpulkanlah para tua-tua dan seluruh penduduk negeri ke rumah TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berteriaklah kepada TUHAN.
15 And cry to YHWH, “Aah! For the day! For [the] Day of YHWH [is] near, And it comes as destruction from [the] Almighty.
Wahai, hari itu! Sungguh, hari TUHAN sudah dekat, datangnya sebagai pemusnahan dari Yang Mahakuasa.
16 Is food not cut off before our eyes? Joy and rejoicing from the house of our God?
Bukankah di depan mata kita sudah lenyap makanan, sukaria dan sorak-sorai dari rumah Allah kita?
17 Scattered things have rotted under their clods, Storehouses have been desolated, Granaries have been broken down, For the grain has withered.
Biji-bijian menjadi kering di dalam tanah, lumbung-lumbung sudah licin tandas, rengkiang-rengkiang sudah runtuh, sebab gandum sudah habis.
18 How livestock have sighed! Perplexed have been droves of oxen, For there is no pasture for them, Also droves of sheep have been desolated.
Betapa mengeluhnya hewan dan gempar kawanan-kawanan lembu, sebab tidak ada lagi padang rumput baginya; juga kawanan kambing domba terkejut.
19 To You, O YHWH, I call, For fire has consumed lovely places of a wilderness, And a flame has set on fire all trees of the field.
Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, sebab api telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun, dan nyala api telah menghanguskan segala pohon di padang.
20 Also the livestock of the field long for You, For dried up have been streams of water, And fire has consumed lovely places of a wilderness!”
Juga binatang-binatang di padang menjerit karena rindu kepada-Mu, sebab wadi telah kering, dan apipun telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun.
