Joel 3

1 "For, look, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

“Saa nna no mu, mede Yuda ne Yerusalem ahonyadeɛ bɛsane aba.

2 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

Mɛboa aman nyinaa ano, na mede wɔn aba Yehosafat bɔnhwa mu. Ɛhɔ na mɛbu wɔn atɛn wɔ deɛ wɔyɛɛ mʼagyapadeɛ, a ɛyɛ Israelfoɔ ho, ɛfiri sɛ wɔbɔɔ me nkurɔfoɔ hwetee aman so, na wɔkyekyɛɛ mʼasase mu.

3 and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

Wɔbɔɔ me nkurɔfoɔ so ntonto, Wɔtɔn mmerantewaa de emu sika bɔɔ adwaman. Wɔtɔn mmaayewa nso de gyee nsã, a wɔbɛnom.

4 "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

“Ɛdeɛn na mowɔ tia me, Ao Tiro ne Sidon ne mo Filistia amantam nyinaa? Mopɛ sɛ motɔ me so awere anaa? Sɛ saa na ɛte deɛ a, monhwɛ yie. Mɛyɛ ntɛm, atua mo biribiara a moayɛ no so ka.

5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

Mofaa me dwetɛ ne me sikakɔkɔɔ ne mʼagyapadeɛ a ɛsom bo, na mosoa kɔguu mo abosonnan mu.

6 and have sold the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem to the people of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.

Motontɔn nnipa a wɔte Yuda ne Yerusalem maa Helafoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛfiri wɔn asase so akɔ akyirikyiri.

7 Look, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;

“Nanso, mɛsane de wɔn afiri baabi a mokɔtɔn wɔn no aba, na deɛ moayɛ no nyinaa, mɛtua mo so ka.

8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it."

Mɛtontɔn mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa ama Yudafoɔ, na wɔn nso atɔn wɔn ama Arabfoɔ, ɔman a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri no.” Me, Awurade, na makasa.

9 Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.

Mo mpae mu nka yei wɔ aman so: Monsiesie mo ho mma ɔko! Monkanyane akodɔm! Momma mo mmarima akofoɔ no ntwe mpini, na wɔn mmɛko.

10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'

Momfa mo mfuntumdadeɛ no mmɔ akofena, na momfa mo nsɔsɔwa mmɔ mpea. Ma deɛ wɔayɛ mmerɛ nka sɛ, “mewɔ ahoɔden!”

11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.

Monyɛ ntɛm mmra, mo amanaman a moatwa ahyia, mo mmɛboa mo ho ano wɔ hɔ. Fa wʼakofoɔ bra, Ao Awurade!

12 "Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

“Wɔnkanyane aman no; wɔntu ntene nkɔ Yehosafat bɔnhwa no mu, ɛfiri sɛ ɛhɔ na mɛtena na mabu aman a atwa ahyia no nyinaa atɛn.

13 Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."

Monhwim kantankrankyi no, ɛfiri sɛ otwa berɛ no aduru so. Mommra, montiatia bobe no so, ɛfiri sɛ nsakyiamena no ayɛ ma na ankorɛ no ayɛ ma abu so. Saa ara na wɔn amumuyɛ dɔɔso!”

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of the LORD is near, in the valley of decision.

Nipadɔm, nipadɔm wɔ gyinasie subɔnhwa no mu! Awurade ɛda no abɛn wɔ gyinasie subɔnhwa no mu.

15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

Owia ne ɔsrane bɛduru sum, na nsoromma renhyerɛn bio.

16 The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

Awurade bɛbobɔ mu afiri Sion, ne nne bɛgyegye afiri Yerusalem, asase ne ɔsoro bɛwoso. Nanso, Awurade bɛyɛ dwanekɔbea ama ne nkurɔfoɔ, ɔbɛyɛ abandenden ama Israelfoɔ.

17 "So you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.

“Afei, wobɛhunu sɛ, me Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, mete Sion, me bepɔ kronkron so. Yerusalem bɛyɛ kronkron; na ananafoɔ rentu wɔn so sa bio.

18 It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth from the house of the LORD, and will water the Valley of Shittim.

“Saa ɛda no, nsã foforɔ bɛsɔne afiri mmepɔ no mu, na nufosuo atene wɔ nkokoɔ so; Nsuo bɛba Yuda nsuwansuwa mu, na asutire bɛtue afiri Awurade efie, na agugu akasia subɔnhwa no so nsuo.

19 Egypt will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

Nanso Misraim bɛdane amanfo, na Edom nso bɛyɛ anweatam, ɛsiane awurukasɛm a wɔyɛ de tiaa nnipa a wɔwɔ Yuda enti. Ɛhɔ na wɔhwiee mogya a ɛnni fɔ guiɛ.

20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

Nnipa bɛtena Yuda afebɔɔ na Yerusalem deɛ wɔbɛtena hɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa mu.

21 And I will pardon their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, for the LORD dwells in Zion."

Na mogya afɔdie a memfa nkyɛeɛ no, mede bɛkyɛ.
