Joel 2
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion; Sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble! For the day of Jehovah cometh, for it is near!
Ukya mwe ukuk in okasak mwet uh Fineol Zion, inging mutal lun God. Kowos mwet Judah in rarrar! Len lun LEUM GOD apkuranme.
2 A day of darkness, and gloominess, A day of clouds, and thick darkness. As the morning light spreadeth itself upon the mountains, There cometh a numerous people and a strong; Like them there have been none of old time, And after them there shall not be, Even to the years of many generations.
Ac fah sie len lohsrlosr ac ohk, Sie len nukla ke pukunyeng sroalsroal. Un locust uh sikme oana un mwet mweun, Oana lohsr matoltol lohsreya fineol uh. Soenna sikyak kain ouiya inge meet, Ac fah wangin pac tok.
3 A fire devoureth before them, And behind them a flame burneth; The land is as the garden of Eden before them. And behind them a desolate wilderness! Yea, nothing escapeth them.
Elos kangla ma kap fin acn uh oana in e uh pa esukla. Meet liki elos tuku, acn uh oana Ima Eden, Tukun elos som, acn uh mwesisla. Wangin ma ku in kaingla lukelos.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, And like horsemen do they run;
Elos oana horse uh; Elos kasrusr oana horse in mweun uh.
5 Like rattling chariots they leap on the tops of the mountains; Like the crackling flame of fire, which devoureth stubble; Like a mighty host set in battle array.
Na ke elos srosro fin mangon eol uh, Elos erarak oana kusen chariot; Elos kisassas oana mah pao ke ac firir uh. Elos takla oana un mwet mweun lulap ma akola nu ke mweun.
6 Before them the people tremble, And all faces gather blackness.
Ke elos sikla, mwet nukewa tuninfongla; Mutun mwet nukewa fasrfasrla.
7 They run like mighty men; They climb the wall like warriors; They march every one on his way; They change not their paths.
Elos anwuk oana mwet mweun; Elos fanuk pot uh oana solse uh. Elos nukewa fahsr suwohs nu meet Ac tia kuhfla nu saya,
8 One doth not thrust another; They march every one in his path, And though they rush among weapons, they are not wounded.
Ac tia pac asinuki nu sin sie sin sie. Elos fahsryang na alukela kutena mwe kutong nu selos, Ac wangin ma ku in tulokunulosi.
9 They run through the city; They run upon the wall; They go up into the houses; They enter in at the windows, like a thief.
Elos yuyak nu in siti uh; Elos fanukya pot uh; Elos fanyak nu fin lohm uh Ac utyak ke winto uh oana mwet pisrapasr uh.
10 The earth quaketh before them, And the heavens tremble; The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining.
Faclu usrusryak ke elos fahsr nu meet; Ac yen engyeng uh rarrar. Faht uh ac malem uh lohsrlosrani, Ac itu uh tila saromrom.
11 Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; For very great is his host; Yea, it is mighty, executing his word; The day of Jehovah is great, and very terrible; Who shall be able to bear it?
LEUM GOD El ac sapsap nu sin un mwet mweun lal oana pusren pulahl. Un mwet mweun su aksol Arulana pukanten ac fokoko. Ac fuka lupan mwe aksangeng ke len lun LEUM GOD! Su ac fah ku in painmoulla?
12 Yet even now, saith Jehovah, Turn ye to me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning!
LEUM GOD El fahk, “Nwe ouinge, kowos srakna ku in auliyak Ke lalo, tung, ac mwemelil, Ac foloko nu yuruk.
13 And rend your hearts, and not your garments, And turn to Jehovah your God, For he is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness, And repenteth of a threatened evil.
Lela inse musalla lowos in akkalemye asor lowos; Seya nuknuk mukena srakna sufal.” Foloko nu yurin LEUM GOD lowos. El kulang ac sessesla ke pakoten. El mongfisrasr ac El karinganang wuleang lal. Pacl nukewa El akola in nunak munas ac tia sa in kai.
14 Who knoweth but he will turn and repent, And leave a blessing behind him, Even a flour-offering and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God.
Sahp LEUM GOD lowos El ac aolla nunak lal, Ac akinsewowoye kowos ke fokin ima puspis. Na kowos fah ku in sifil kisakin wheat ac wain nu sel.
15 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion; Appoint yea fast; proclaim a solemn assembly!
Ukya mwe ukuk Fineol Zion; Sapkin in oasr sie tukeni lulap, ac mwet nukewa in lalo.
16 Gather the people; appoint a congregation; Assemble the elders; Gather the children and the sucklings! Let the bridegroom come forth from his chamber, And the bride from her nuptial bed!
Eisani mwet nukewa nu sie; Akoelosla nu ke sie tukeni mutal. Usani mwet matu, Oayapa tulik srisrik Ac tulik fusr. Finne mwet ma tufahna payuk an, Elos in filiya lohm selos ac wi pac tuku.
17 Let the priests, the servants of Jehovah, Weep between the porch and the altar, And say, Spare thy people, O Jehovah, And give not thine inheritance to reproach, And to be a by-word to the nations! Why should they say among the nations, Where is their God?
Mwet tol su kulansupu LEUM GOD Inmasrlon loang mutal ac acn in utyak lun Tempul, Enenu in tung ac pre: “O LEUM GOD, pakomuta mwet lom. Nikmet fuhlela mutunfacl saya in pilesrekut ac aksruksrukye kut Ke elos fahk, ‘Pia God lowos an?’”
18 Then will Jehovah be zealous for his land, And have compassion on his people,
Na LEUM GOD El sifil akkalemye nunak lal nu ke acn uh, Ac sifil pakomuta mwet lal.
19 Yea, Jehovah will answer, and say to his people, Behold, I will send you corn, And new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; And I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
El topuk pre lalos ac fahk, “Inge nga fah sot nu suwos, Wheat, wain ac oil in olive, Ac kowos ac fah mut. Mutanfahl saya ac fah tia sifil aksruksrukye kowos.
20 I will remove far from you the northern host, And I will drive it into a dry and desolate land; Its van toward the Eastern sea, And its rear toward the Western sea. And its scent shall come up, And its ill savor shall come up, Because it hath done great things.
Nga fah kunauselik un mwet mweun matol se ma tuku epang me, Ac fah lusla kutu selos nu yen mwesis. U se ma fahsr meet ah, ac ukohkyak nu in Meoa Misa, U se ma fahsr etok ah, ac ukohkyak nu in Meoa Mediterranean. Mano misa lalos ac fohlelana acn uh. Nga fah kunauselosla ke sripen ma nukewa ma elos oru nu suwos.
21 Fear not, O land, exult and rejoice, For Jehovah hath done great things!
“Acn inima uh, nikmet sangeng, A kowos in engan ac insewowo Ke ma nukewa LEUM GOD El oru nu suwos.
22 Fear not, O ye beasts of the field, For the pastures of the desert spring up, For the tree beareth its fruit; The fig-tree and the vine yield their strength!
Kosro inimae, nikmet sangeng. Insroan mah uh srunak folfol; Sak uh isus fahko, Ac arulana pus fokin fig ac grape.
23 And, O ye sons of Zion, exult, And rejoice in Jehovah your God! For he giveth you the former rain in just measure, And causeth showers to come down upon you, Even the former rain, and the latter rain, as aforetime.
“Mwet Zion, kowos in insewowo, Ac engankin ma LEUM GOD lowos El oru nu suwos. El sot lupan af fal nu suwos ke pacl la. El supweya af se meet ke pacl in taknelik, Ac af se tok ke pacl in kosrani, oana meet ah.
24 And the threshing-floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
Nien sisi kulun wheat fah sessesla ke wheat, Luf sisken acn in orek wain fah kahkkakla ke wain ac oil in olive.
25 And I will restore to you the years Which the swarming-locust hath eaten, The licking-locust, the consuming-locust, and the gnawing-locusts, My great army, which I sent among you.
Nga fah folokonot ma lowos ma tuh musalla Ke yac ma u in locust uh tuh kangla fokin ima lowos. Nga pa tuh supwama u in locust matol ingan in lain kowos.
26 Ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, And praise the name of Jehovah your God, Who hath dealt wondrously with you; And my people shall never be put to shame.
Inge ac fah pukanten ma kowos in kang ac kowos fah kihp. Kowos fah kaksakin LEUM GOD lowos, Su tuh oru ma usrnguk inmasrlowos. Mwet luk ac fah tia sifilpa akmwekinyeyuk.
27 Ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am Jehovah, your God, and none else; And my people shall never be put to shame.
Na mwet Israel, kowos fah etu lah nga oasr inmasrlowos, Ac lah nga, LEUM GOD, pa God lowos, Ac wangin pac sie sayuk. Mwet luk ac fah tiana sifilpa aksruksrukyeyuk.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, That I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.
“Tukun ma inge, nga fah okoala ngunik nu fin mwet nukewa: Wen nutuwos ac acn nutuwos fah sulkakin kas luk, Mukul matu lowos fah mweme, Ac mukul fusr lowos fah liye aruruma.
29 Upon the men-servants also, and upon the handmaids, Will I pour out my spirit in those days.
In pacl sac nga fah okoala ngunik Nu fin mwet kulansap pac, kewana mukul ac mutan.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth; Blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
“Nga fah oru ma sakirik yen engyeng uh ac fin faclu In fahkak ke len sac. Ac fah oasr srah sororla, ac firir lun e, ac pukunyeng in kulasr.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the day of Jehovah cometh, The great and the terrible day. Then whoever calleth on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered;
Faht uh ac fah lohsrla, Ac malem ac fah srusrala oana srah Meet liki len lulap ac aksangeng lun LEUM GOD ac tuku.
32 For upon mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, shall be deliverance, As Jehovah hath spoken; And among the remnant, whom Jehovah shall call.
Tusruktu elos nukewa su siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD ac fah moliyukla. Oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, ‘Kutu sin mwet su muta Fineol Zion ac in Jerusalem ac fah tia sun mwe ongoiya inge. Elos su nga sulela fah painmoulla.’”
