Joel 3
1 "For, look, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
“Mu nnaku ezo, era mu biseera ebyo, Yuda n’ekibuga Yerusaalemi ndibiddiza emikisa gyabyo nga bwe gyabanga edda.
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,
Ndikuŋŋaanya abamawanga bonna ne mbaserengesa mu kiwonvu Yekosafaati, ne mbasalira omusango olwa byonna bye baakola abantu bange Abayisirayiri ab’obusika bwange. Kubanga baasaasaanya Abayisirayiri mu mawanga, ne bagabana ensi yange.
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.
Baagabana abantu bange nga babakubirako obululu; ne batunda abalenzi olw’abakazi bamalaaya, n’abawala ne babatundamu omwenge ne beenywera.
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.
“Mwe Ttuulo ne Sidoni n’enjuyi zonna ez’Abafirisuuti, mmwe b’ani ku Nze? Nnina kye nabakola kye mugezaako okwesasuza? Bwe munaaba nga mugezaako kwesasuza, ebikolwa byammwe nzija kubibakyusizaako mangwago.
5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
Kubanga mwatwala effeeza yange ne zaabu yange n’ebintu byange eby’omuwendo omungi ne mubissa mu masabo gammwe.
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.
Mwatwala abantu b’omu Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi ne mubatunza Abayonaani.
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;
“Laba, ndibaggyayo mu mawanga gye mwabatunda; mmwe mbakole nga bwe mwabakola.
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 YHWH has spoken it."
Batabani bammwe ne bawala bammwe ndibaguza batabani ba Yuda, nabo balibaguza abantu ab’omu ggwanga ery’ewala ennyo, ery’e Seba.” Ebyo Mukama y’abyogedde.
9 Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
Bakabona mulangirire mu mawanga bwe muti nti, Mwetegekere olutalo! Muyite abalwanyi bammwe ab’amaanyi, buli mulwanyi yenna asembere ajje mu lutalo.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'
Enkumbi zammwe muziweeseemu ebitala, n’obwambe bwammwe mubuweeseemu amafumu; omunafu agambe nti, “Ndi wa maanyi.”
11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, YHWH.
Mujje mangu mwe mwenna abamawanga agatwetoolodde, mukuŋŋaanire mu kiwonvu. Ayi Mukama, weereza eggye lyo libalumbe.
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.
“Amawanga geeteeketeeke gajje mu kiwonvu ekya Yekosafaati; kubanga eyo gye ndisinzira ne nsalira amawanga gonna ageetoolodde wano omusango.
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."
Kozesa oluwabyo lwo, kubanga ekiseera eky’amakungula kituuse. Mujje mubabetente nga bwe mulinnyirira emizabbibu mu ssogolero okutuusa envinnyo lw’ekulukuta, ekibi kyabwe kinene nnyo.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of YHWH is near, in the valley of decision.
Abantu bukadde na bukadde abali mu kiwonvu eky’okusalirwamu omusango! Kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama lusembedde lwaliramulirako mu kiwonvu eky’okusalirwamu omusango.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Ekizikiza kibuutikidde enjuba n’omwezi, n’emmunyeenye tezikyayaka.
16 YHWH will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but YHWH will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
Mukama aliwuluguma ng’ayima ku Sayuuni; alibwatuka n’eddoboozi lye ng’asinziira mu Yerusaalemi. Eggulu n’ensi birikankana. Naye Mukama aliba ekiddukiro ky’abantu be, era ekigo ky’abaana ba Isirayiri eky’amaanyi.
17 "So you will know that I am YHWH your God, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
“Kale mulimanya nga Nze Mukama Katonda wammwe, abeera ku lusozi lwange olutukuvu Sayuuni. Era Yerusaalemi kinaabeeranga kitukuvu, nga ne bannamawanga tebakyakirumba.
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 YHWH, and will water the Valley of Shittim.
“Olunaku luli bwe lulituuka, ensozi ziritonnyesa wayini omuggya, n’obusozi bulikulukusa amata, n’emigga gyonna egya Yuda emikalu girikulukusa amazzi. Ensulo eriva mu nnyumba ya Mukama n’efukirira ekiwonvu kya Sittimu.
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.
Misiri erifuuka amatongo n’ensi ya Edomu erifuuka ddungu jjereere olw’ebikolobero bye baakola ku bantu ba Yuda, ensi mwe battira abantu abatalina musango.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Naye mu Yuda mulibeeramu abantu ennaku zonna, ne Yerusaalemi kiribeerawo emirembe gyonna.
21 And I will pardon their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, for YHWH dwells in Zion."
Ndyesasuza olw’omusaayi ogw’abo abattibwa, era teriba mutemu asonyiyibwa.
