Joel 3
1 For behold, in those days and at that time, When I shall bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
quia ecce in diebus illis et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda et Hierusalem
2 I will assemble all the nations, And will bring them down it to the valley of Jehoshaphat, And there will I contend with them for my people and inheritance, Israel; Because they scattered them among the nations, And divided my land among themselves.
congregabo omnes gentes et deducam eas in valle Iosaphat et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo et hereditate mea Israhel quos disperserunt in nationibus et terram meam diviserunt
3 Yea, they cast lots for my people, And gave a boy for a harlot, And sold a damsel for wine to drink.
et super populum meum miserunt sortem et posuerunt puerum in prostibulum et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent
4 What have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all the borders of Philistia? Will ye retaliate on me? Or will ye do anything against me? Swiftly and speedily will I bring back your doings upon your own head.
verum quid vobis et mihi Tyrus et Sidon et omnis terminus Palestinorum numquid ultionem vos redditis mihi et si ulciscimini vos contra me cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum
5 Ye have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried into your palaces my precious, goodly things;
argentum enim meum et aurum tulistis et desiderabilia mea et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra
6 The sons also of Judah, and the sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the Grecians, That ye might remove them far from their border.
et filios Iuda et filios Hierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, And I will return your injury upon your own head;
ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum
8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation afar off; For Jehovah hath spoken it.
et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda et venundabunt eos Sabeis genti longinquae quia Dominus locutus est
9 Proclaim ye this among the nations: “Prepare war! Stir up the mighty ones! Let all the warriors draw near; let them come up!”
clamate hoc in gentibus sanctificate bellum suscitate robustos accedant ascendant omnes viri bellatores
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords, And your pruning-hooks into spears; Let the weak say, I am strong!
concidite aratra vestra in gladios et ligones vestros in lanceas infirmus dicat quia fortis ego sum
11 Assemble yourselves and come, all ye nations round about; Gather yourselves together! Thither, O Jehovah, bring down thy mighty ones!
erumpite et venite omnes gentes de circuitu et congregamini ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos
12 Let the nations rise and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat! For there will I sit to judge all the nations around.
consurgant et ascendant gentes in vallem Iosaphat quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; Come and tread, for the wine-press is full; The vats overflow; For their wickedness is great!
mittite falces quoniam maturavit messis venite et descendite quia plenum est torcular exuberant torcularia quia multiplicata est malitia eorum
14 The multitudes, the multitudes in the valley of judgment! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of judgment.
populi populi in valle concisionis quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining.
sol et luna obtenebricata sunt et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum
16 Jehovah also will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and the earth shall shake. But Jehovah will be a refuge to his people! A strong-hold to the sons of Israel.
et Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et movebuntur caeli et terra et Dominus spes populi sui et fortitudo filiorum Israhel
17 Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; And Jerusalem shall be holy; Strangers shall pass through her no more.
et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion in monte sancto meo et erit Hierusalem sancta et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius
18 In that day shall the mountains drop down new wine, And the hills shall flow with milk. And all the streams of Judah shall flow with water. A fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, That shall water the valley of Shittim.
et erit in die illa stillabunt montes dulcedinem et colles fluent lacte et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae et fons de domo Domini egredietur et inrigabit torrentem Spinarum
19 Egypt shall be a waste, And Edom a desolate wilderness, For their violence against the sons of Judah; For they shed innocent blood in their land.
Aegyptus in desolatione erit et Idumea in desertum perditionis pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua
20 But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur et Hierusalem in generatione et generationem
21 And I will avenge their blood, which I have not avenged, And Jehovah will dwell upon Zion.
et mundabo sanguinem eorum quem non mundaveram et Dominus commorabitur in Sion
