Joel 3
1 [Yahweh says this]: “At that time [DOU], I will enable [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to prosper again.
“到那日，我使犹大和耶路撒冷被掳之人归回的时候，
2 [Then] in the Valley of Judgment I will gather together [the people of] all the [other] nations; I will judge [and punish] them because they scattered my Israeli people and forced them to go to other countries. They divided up my land
我要聚集万民，带他们下到约沙法谷，在那里施行审判；因为他们将我的百姓，就是我的产业以色列，分散在列国中，又分取我的地土，
3 and they (threw marked stones/cast lots) to determine who would get [each of] my people. Then they sold [some of] the Israeli boys and girls [to get money to pay] for prostitutes and wine to drink.
且为我的百姓拈阄，将童子换妓女，卖童女买酒喝。
4 You [people of] [APO] Tyre and Sidon [cities] and [you people of] the Philistia [region], I certainly have not [RHQ] done anything to harm you! [So] if you are trying to get revenge on me, I will very quickly get revenge on you.
“泰尔、西顿，和非利士四境的人哪，你们与我何干？你们要报复我吗？若报复我，我必使报应速速归到你们的头上。
5 You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
你们既然夺取我的金银，又将我可爱的宝物带入你们宫殿，
6 [You dragged away] the people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and you took them far away and sold them to people in Greece.
并将犹大人和耶路撒冷人卖给希腊人，使他们远离自己的境界。
7 But I will cause my people to want to return from the places to which you sold them, and I will do to you what you did to them.
我必激动他们离开你们所卖到之地，又必使报应归到你们的头上。
8 Then I will cause [some of] your sons and your daughters to be sold to the people of Judah! And [some of] them will be sold to the Sabea people-group, who live far away. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
我必将你们的儿女卖在犹大人的手中，他们必卖给远方示巴国的人。这是耶和华说的。”
9 Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
当在万民中宣告说： 要预备打仗； 激动勇士， 使一切战士上前来。
10 [Take] your plows and make swords from them, and [take] your pruning knives and make spears from them. [Even] the weak people must [also] be like [MET] [strong] soldiers.
要将犁头打成刀剑， 将镰刀打成戈矛； 软弱的要说：我有勇力。
11 All you [people from the] nations that are near [Judah] must come quickly and gather [in the Valley of Judgment].” But Yahweh, [when that happens], send your army [of angels to attack them]!
四围的列国啊， 你们要速速地来， 一同聚集。 耶和华啊， 求你使你的大能者降临。
12 The [people in] the nations near [Judah] must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment. There Yahweh will sit and judge [and punish] them.
万民都当兴起， 上到约沙法谷； 因为我必坐在那里， 审判四围的列国。
13 [They are like] [MET] crops that are ready to be harvested; so [strike them like] [MET] [a farmer] swings his sickle to cut the grain. They are like [MET] grapes that are piled high in the pits where they will be pressed; because they are very wicked, [punish them severely] [MET] now, like [MET] [a farmer] tramples on the grapes until the pits are full of juice.
开镰吧！因为庄稼熟了； 践踏吧！因为酒榨满了。 酒池盈溢； 他们的罪恶甚大。
14 [There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].
许多许多的人在断定谷， 因为耶和华的日子临近断定谷。
15 [At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
日月昏暗， 星宿无光。
16 From Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem Yahweh will shout, and his voice will be like thunder, and his voice will cause the sky and the earth to shake. But Yahweh will protect [MET] his people; he will be like [MET] a strong wall behind which the people of Israel will be protected.
耶和华必从锡安吼叫， 从耶路撒冷发声， 天地就震动。 耶和华却要作他百姓的避难所， 作以色列人的保障。
17 [Yahweh says], “At that time, you Israeli people will know that I am Yahweh, your God. I live on Zion, my sacred hill. Jerusalem will be a sacred [city], and [soldiers from] other countries will never conquer it again.
你们就知道我是耶和华—你们的 神， 且又住在锡安—我的圣山。 那时，耶路撒冷必成为圣； 外邦人不再从其中经过。
18 At that time, there will be vineyards covering [MTY] the hills, and [your cattle and goats on] those hills will produce plenty of milk. The streams in Judah will never dry up. And a stream will flow from my temple into the Acacia Valley [northeast of the Dead Sea].
到那日，大山要滴甜酒； 小山要流奶子； 犹大溪河都有水流。 必有泉源从耶和华的殿中流出来， 滋润什亭谷。
19 [The armies of] Egypt and Edom attacked the people of Judah and killed [MTY] many people who had not done anything that was wrong. So [now] those countries will become deserts,
埃及必然荒凉， 以东变为凄凉的旷野， 都因向犹大人所行的强暴， 又因在本地流无辜人的血。
20 but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
但犹大必存到永远； 耶路撒冷必存到万代。
21 [I], Yahweh, live on Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], and I will get revenge on the people [of Egypt and Edom] who killed [MTY] [many of my people].”
我未曾报复流血的罪， 现在我要报复， 因为耶和华住在锡安。
