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.
Inao, hampoliko amy andro rezay, naho amy sa zay, ty fandrohiza’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime,
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
naho hatontoko boak’ amy ze hene fifeheañe, naho hampizotsoeko mb’am-bavatane’ Iehosafate mb’eo, vaho eo ty himoahako an-jaka ty am’ ondatikoo naho i lovako Israeley, ie nampibaratsaheñe amo kilakila’ ondatio añe naho nanjarañe i tanekoy.
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.
Vinili’ iareo aman-kitsapake ondatikoo, kinalo’ iareo tsimirira ty ajalahy naho navaro’ iareo ty somondrara ho divay hinoma’ iareo.
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.
Inoñ’amako irehe Tsore naho Tsidone, naho ze hene toe’ i Pilisty? Hañavak’ amako hao? Aa naho Hañavake le hafoteko aniany naho masìka an-doha’ areo i ondro’ areoy,
5 You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
amy te tinava’ areo o volafotiko naho volamenakoo, naho nendese’ areo an-kibohon’drahare’ areo mb’eo o fànako sarotseo,
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.
naho naleta’ areo amo nte-Ievanio o ana’ Iehodào naho o ana’ Ierosalaimeo haneseañe iareo lavitse ty tane’ iareo añe.
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.
Inao fa hampionjoneko boak’ an-tane nandetahañe iareo, vaho havàhako an-doha’ areo o sata’ areoo,
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.”
fa haletako am-pità’ o ana’ Iehodào o ana-dahi’ areoo naho o anak’ ampela’ areoo, vaho haleta’ iereo amo nte-Sevào, ondaty tsietoitane añeo, fa izay ty tsinara’ Iehovà.
9 Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
Tseizo ty hoe amo kilakila’ondatio: Mihentseña hialy; tsekafo o fanalolahio, ampañarineo ze hene lahindefoñe; ampionjono mb’etoa;
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.
Tefeo ho fibara o lelan-dasarì’ areoo, naho ho lefoñe o fibira’ areoo, ampanò ty hoe o mavozoo: Maozatse iraho;
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]!
Malisà! mb’etoy ry kilakila’ ondaty mañohokeo; ampizotsò o fanalolahi’oo ry Iehovà.
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.
Mitrobotroboa ry kilakila ondatio, mionjona mb’am-bavatane’ Iehosefate eo. fa eo ty hitobohako hizaka o kilakila ondaty miarisehoo.
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.
Sonjono ty fitatahañe, fa matoe i vokatsey, miziliha, mandialià, fa pea i fipiritañey, naho mandopatse o sajoao, fa bey ty haloloa’ iareo.
14 [There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].
Rehoreho, fikorakorahañe ty am-bavatanem-panàmpan-kevetse, fa mitotoke ty andro’ Iehovà am-bavatanem-panàmpan-kevetse.
15 [At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
Hampaieñeñe i àndroy naho i volañey, vaho hasinta’ o vasiañeo o filoeloea’eo.
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.
Le hitroñe boak’e Tsione ao t’Iehovà, hampipoña-piarañanañañe boak’e Ierosalaime ao; le hihondrahondra o likerañeo naho ty tane toy; fa fitamà’ ondati’eo t’Iehovà naho ty fipalira-maoza’ o ana’ Israeleo.
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.
Aa le ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, mpimoneñe e Tsione, vohi-masiko, ao, aa le hiavake t’Ierosalaime, vaho tsy hiranga ama’e ka o ambahinio.
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].
Ie amy andro zay, hampitsopatsopake divay vao o vohitseo, le horikorihen-dronono o haboañeo, naho hene hikararahan-drano o saka’ Iehodào, le higoangoañe boak’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao ty rano hanondrake ty vavatane’ i Sitime.
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,
Ho babangoañe t’i Mitsraime, naho ho ratrotratro bangý t’i Edome, ty amy hasiaha’ iareo amo ana’Iehodào, ie nampiorike lio-màliñe an-tane’ iareo eo.
20 but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
Fa himoneñe nainai’e t’Iehodà; naho tariratse an-tariratse t’Ierosalaime
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].”
Le ho lioveko ty lio’iareo mboe tsy nilioveko fa himoneñe e Tsione ao t’Iehovà.
