Joel 3
1 For lo! in those days, and at that time, —when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
看，在那些日子，在那個時候，當我轉變猶大和耶路撒冷的命運時，
2 Then will I gather all the nations, and bring them down into the Vale of Jehoshaphat, —and will enter into judgment with them there, concerning my people, and mine inheritance Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, and, my land, they apportioned;
我必聚集萬民，領他們下到約沙法特山谷，在那裏我要關於我的，我的基業以色列，審問他們，因為他們使我的百姓散居在異民中，且瓜分了我的土地，
3 And, for my people, they cast lots, —and gave a boy for a harlot, and a girl sold they for wine—and drank.
為我的百姓捸了籤，以男童換取淫婦，賣掉女童，換洒買醉。
4 Moreover also, what have, ye, to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the circuit of Palestine? A recompense, are ye paying back unto me? But, though ye should make a recompense unto me, swiftly, speedily, would I return your recompense upon your own head.
提洛、漆冬和培肋舍特所有的地域! 你們想對我做什麼﹖你們想對我施行報復嗎﹖若你們向我報復，我立刻將你們的作為歸在你們的頭上，
5 Because, my silver and my gold, ye took away, —and, my richly beautiful things, carried ye into your temples;
因為你們奪去了我的金銀，將我的珍寶帶到你們的宮中；
6 And, the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem, ye sold to the sons of Greece, —that they might be far removed from their own boundary.
又將猶大子民和耶路撒冷子民賣給雅汪人，使他們遠離自己的祖國。
7 Behold me! rousing them up out of the place whither ye sold them, —So will I bring back your dealing upon your own head.
看，不拘你們把他們出賣到什麼城邑和地方，我必要使他們從那裏回來，卻把你們所做的，歸在你們頭上：
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to Sabeans, unto a nation afar off, —for, Yahweh, hath spoken.
將你們的兒女賣在猶大子民的手裏，使他們再轉賣給遠方的舍巴人，因為上主這樣說了。
9 Proclaim ye this, among the nations, Hallow a war, rouse the mighty ones, let them draw near, come up, all the men of war!
你們要在異民中宣布：準備聖戰，激勵勇士! 一切戰士應前進襲擊!
10 Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears, —as for the weak, let him say, mighty, I am.
將你們的犁頭鑄成刀劍，將你們的鐮刀鑄成長槍；連者也要說：我是個戰士!
11 Give help—and come in, all ye nations on every side, and gather yourselves together, —Thither, bring down, O Yahweh, thy mighty ones!
四周的異民! 你們急速前來，在這裏聚合。上主，使你的勇士降臨吧!
12 Let the nations, be roused, and come up, into the Vale of Jehoshaphat, —for, there, will I sit to judge all the nations, on every side.
異民，起來，前往約沙法特山谷，因為我要在那裏坐堂，審訊四周的一切異民。
13 Thrust ye in the vintage knife, for, grown ripe, is the vintage, —Go in, tread down, for full is the winepress, flow over do the vats, for abundant is their wickedness.
伸出鐮刀，因為莊稼已成熟；前來踐踏! 因為洒榨已溢出，因為他們已惡貫滿盈。
14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the vale of strict decision, —for near is the day of Yahweh, in the vale of strict decision.
成群結隊的人齊集在審判谷，因為上主的日子已臨近了審判谷。
15 The sun and the moon, have become dark, —and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining,
太陽和月亮昏暗了，星辰失去了光芒。
16 And, Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, and the heavens and the earth, shall tremble, —but, Yahweh, shall be a shelter to his people, and a refuge to the sons of Israel.
上主從熙雍怒吼，從耶路撒冷發出自己的聲音，天地為之震動；但上主卻是自己百姓的避難所，是以色列子民的堡壘。
17 So shall ye know that, I, Yahweh, am your God, making my habitation in Zion my holy mountain, —So shall, Jerusalem, be, holy, and, foreigners, shall pass through her no more.
那時，他們必要知道：我上主是你們的天主，我住在熙雍，我的聖山上。那時，耶路撒冷必要成為聖地，外人再不能從那裏經過。
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow down with milk, and, all the channels of Judah, shall flow down with waters, —and, a spring, out of the house of Yahweh, shall come forth, and shall water the torrent-valley of the acacias.
到了那一天，山嶽必要滴下新洒，丘陵必要流下乳汁，猶大的一切河流必要湧流清水；從上主的殿裏，將有一清泉流出，澆灌史庭山谷。
19 Egypt, to a desolation, shall be turned, and, Edom, to a desert most desolate, shall be changed, —because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in that they shed innocent blood in their land.
埃及將變成荒地，厄東將成為曠野，因為他們虐待了判斷子民，在他們的境內傾流了無辜者的血。
20 But, Judah, age-abidingly, shall remain, and, Jerusalem, to generation after generation.
但猶大永遠有人居住，耶路撒冷也世世代代有人居住。
21 And I will free from their blood-guiltiness them whom I had not freed, —for, Yahweh, is about to make his habitation in Zion.
我必要追討坰未追討的債血；因為上主住在熙雍。
