Joel 2
1 Give a blast on a ram's horn in Zion and sound a battle signal on [the] mountain of holiness my let them tremble all [the] inhabitants of the land for [is] about to come [the] day of Yahweh for [it is] near.
你們要在熙雍吹起號角，在我的的聖山下吹起號筒! 叫大地所有的居民戰慄害怕，因為上主的日子來了，且已來近了。
2 A day of darkness and gloom a day of cloud and thick darkness like dawn spread out over the mountains a people numerous and mighty like it not it has occurred since antiquity and after it not it will repeat until years of a generation and a generation.
那是一個陰霾昏暗的日子，是一個濃雲漆黑的日子! 一個龐大結盛的民族猶如曙光一樣，散布在各山下；像這樣的民族，是亙古以來從未有過，此後歷盡萬世萬代，也不會再有。
3 Before it it has consumed fire and after it it sets ablaze a flame [is] like [the] garden of Eden the land before it and after it a wilderness of desolation and also escape not it belongs to it.
在這的前面，有吞滅的烈火，後面，有燃燒的火燄；這民族未來以前，大地有如伊甸樂園，既來以後，卻成了荒涼的；什麼也沒有留下。
4 [is] like [the] appearance of Horses appearance its and like horsemen so they run!
你們的形狀有如馬的形狀，牠們奔馳有如戰爭馬．
5 Like [the] sound of chariots over [the] tops of the mountains they leap! like [the] sound of a flame of fire consuming stubble like a people mighty deployed of battle.
牠們跳躍，發出有如戰車越過山巔的轔轔聲，發出有如烈火焚燒稻草的爆裂聲，活像一支嚴陣以待的強大軍旅。
6 From before it they are in anguish peoples all faces they gather a glow.
萬民一見，為之惶恐，人人臉面為之失色。
7 Like warriors they run! like men of war they go up a wall and each on ways its they go! and not they exchange! paths their.
們們疾進有如勇士，攀登城牆有如戰士，各走自己的路線，從不混亂自己的行列。
8 And each brother its not they crowd! a man on track its they go! and through the weapon[s] they fall not they stop.
牠們各不相擠，各循自己的路線進行；既使衝鋒陷陣，仍不散亂。
9 On the city they rush on the wall they run! in the houses they go up through the windows they go like thief.
牠們進攻城邑，奔上城牆壁，攀登屋頂，闖進窗戶，一個盜賊一樣。
10 Before it it trembles [the] earth they shake [the] heavens sun and moon they become dark and [the] stars they withdraw brightness their.
在牠們面前，大地為之震蕩，諸天為之搖動，星辰為之失光。
11 And Yahweh he gives forth voice his before army his for [is] great very camp his for [is] mighty [the] [one who] does word his for [is] great [the] day of Yahweh and awesome exceedingly and who? will he endure it.
上主在自己的軍旅散發出了自己的聲音，衪的隊伍極其龐大，執行衪命令的，又是強而有力的；上主的一個子實在偉大，極甚可怕：有誰能抵得住﹖
12 And also now [the] utterance of Yahweh return to me with all heart your and with fasting and with weeping and with wailing.
至少現在，──上主的斷語──你們應全心歸向我，禁食，哭泣，悲哀!
13 And tear heart your and may not [it be] garments your and return to Yahweh God your for [is] gracious and compassionate he long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and relenting on harm.
應撕裂的，是你們的心，而不是你們的衣服；你們應歸向上主你們的天主．因為衪寬仁慈悲，遲於發怒，富於慈愛，常懊悔降災。
14 Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent and he will leave behind him a blessing a grain offering and a drink offering for Yahweh God your.
有誰知道，也許衪會轉意後悔，在這場災禍後，給你們留下祝福，好使你們能給上主你們的天主獻上素祭和奠祭。
15 Give a blast on a ram's horn in Zion consecrate a fast call an assembly.
你們要在熙雍吹起號角，制定一個齋期，召開一個盛會。
16 Gather [the] people consecrate an assembly gather [the] elders gather children and suckling-children of breasts let him go out [the] bridegroom from room his and [the] bride from chamber her.
要召集民眾，制定一個集會。召集老人，集合幼童，既使吃奶的嬰兒；新郎應走出他的洞房，新郎應離開她的閨房。
17 Between the porch and to the altar let them weep the priests [the] servants of Yahweh and let them say have compassion! O Yahweh on people your and may not you make inheritance your into a reproach to mock on them nations why? will people say among the peoples where? [is] God their.
上主的僕人──司祭，應在殿廊與祭壇之間痛哭，說：「上主，求你憐恤你的百姓，不要讓你的基業遭受侮辱，使異民取笑他們! 為什麼讓人在異民中說：他們的的天主在哪裏﹖」
18 And he became jealous Yahweh for land his and he had compassion on people his.
上主對自己的地域又重加妒愛，憐憫了自己的百姓。
19 And he answered Yahweh and he said to people his here I [am] about to send to you grain and new wine and fresh oil and you will be satisfied with it and not I will make you again a reproach among the nations.
上主答覆衪的百姓說：我必再賜給你們五榖、酒、油，使你們得享飽飫；不再使你們在異民中遭受恥辱。
20 And the northerner[s] I will remove far away from with you and I will drive away it into a land dry and desolation face its into the sea eastern and end its into the sea western and it will go up stench its and it will go up foul smell its for he has made great to do.
我要使從北方來的大軍，遠離你們；要驅逐他們到荒涼不毛地，使他們的先鋒面向東海，使他們的殿軍面向西海；他們的臭氣要上升，他們的腥臭要上騰。「因為他們行了大惡。」
21 May not you fear O land be glad and rejoice for he has made great Yahweh to do.
田地，你不要害怕，反要歡愉喜樂，因為上主行了大事。
22 May not you fear O animals of [the] field for they are green [the] pastures of [the] wilderness for [the] tree[s] it has borne fruit its [the] fig tree and [the] vine they have given strength their.
田間的野獸，你們不要害怕，因為原野的牧場又已發青，樹木已再結果，無花果樹和葡萄樹必再供給出產。
23 And O people of Zion be glad and rejoice in Yahweh God your for he has given to you the early rain for righteousness and he has sent down for you rain early rain and spring rain in the first [month].
熙雍的子女! 你們應歡樂，應喜樂於上主你們的天主，因為衪按公義，像昔日一樣，賜給了且給你們時雨，且給你們降下甘霖：秋雨和春雨。
24 And they will be full the threshing floors grain and they will overflow the wine-vats new wine and fresh oil.
禾埸必充滿莊稼，榨池必湧出美酒和新酒。
25 And I will restore to you the years which it has eaten the locust[s] the locust[s] and the locust[s] and the locust[s] army my great which I sent among you.
我必要補償你們，我對你們派來的大軍：飛蝗、冬斯、蚱蜢和蝻子，連年所吃掉的收成。
26 And you will eat completely and being satisfied and you will praise [the] name of Yahweh God your who he has dealt with you by doing wonderfully and not they will be ashamed people my for ever.
你們必得飽食，必要頌揚上主你們的天主的名，因為衪為你們行了奇妙的事。 [我的百姓永不再蒙受羞辱。]
27 And you will know that [am] in [the] midst of Israel I and I [am] Yahweh God your and there not [is] yet and not they will be ashamed people my for ever.
你們將會知道：我是在以色列中間，我是上主你們的天主，此外再沒有別的神；而我的百姓永不再蒙受羞辱。
28 And it will be after thus I will pour out spirit my on all flesh and they will prophesy sons your and daughters your old [men] your dreams they will dream! young men your visions they will see.
此後──上主的斷語──我要將我的神傾注在一切有血肉的人身上：你們的兒子們和你們的女兒們要說預言，你們的老人要人要看夢境，你們的青年要見神視；
29 And also on the [male] servants and on the female servants in the days those I will pour out spirit my.
在那些日裏，既使在奴僕和婢女身上，我也要傾注我的神。
30 And I will put wonders in the heavens and on the earth blood and fire and columns of smoke.
我要在上天下地顯示奇異的徵兆：血、火和煙柱。
31 The sun it will be changed into darkness and the moon into blood before comes [the] day of Yahweh great and awesome.
在上主偉大可畏的日子來臨以前，太陽要變為昏暗，月亮要變成血紅。
32 And it will be every [one] who he will call on [the] name of Yahweh he will escape for on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem it will be an escaped remnant just as he has said Yahweh and among the survivors whom Yahweh [will be] calling.
將來，凡呼號上主名號的人，必然獲救，因為如上主所說，在熙雍山，在耶路撒冷必有救援，必有上主召選的劫後餘生。
