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.
Porque, eis que n'aquelles dias, e n'aquelle tempo, em que farei tornar o captiveiro de Judah e de Jerusalem,
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
Então congregarei todas as nações, e as farei descer ao valle de Josaphat; e ali com ellas entrarei em juizo, por causa do meu povo, e da minha herança, Israel, a quem elles espalharam entre as nações e repartiram a minha terra
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.
E lançaram a sorte sobre o meu povo, e deram um menino por uma meretriz, e venderam uma menina por vinho, para beberem.
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.
E tambem que tendes vós comigo, Tyro e Sidon, e todos os termos da Palestina? É tal o pago que vós me daes? pois se me pagaes assim, bem depressa vos farei tornar a vossa paga sobre a vossa cabeça.
5 You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
Porque levastes a minha prata e o meu oiro, e as minhas coisas desejaveis e formosas mettestes nos vossos templos.
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.
E vendestes os filhos de Judah e os filhos de Jerusalem aos filhos dos gregos, para os apartar para longe dos seus termos.
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.
Eis que eu os suscitarei do logar para onde os vendestes, e farei tornar a vossa paga sobre a vossa propria cabeça.
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.”
E venderei vossos filhos e vossas filhas na mão dos filhos de Judah, que os venderão aos de Sheba, a uma nação remota, porque o Senhor o fallou.
9 Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
Proclamae isto entre as nações, sanctificae uma guerra; suscitae os valentes; cheguem-se, subam todos os homens de guerra.
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.
Forjae espadas das vossas enxadas, e lanças das vossas foices: diga o fraco: Forte sou eu.
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]!
Ajuntae-vos, e vinde, todos os povos de em redor, e congregae-vos (ó Senhor, faze descer ali os teus fortes!);
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.
Suscitem-se as nações, e subam ao valle de Josaphat; mas ali me assentarei, para julgar todas as nações em redor.
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.
Lançae a foice, porque já está madura a sega: vinde, descei, porque o lagar está cheio, e os vasos dos lagares trasbordam, porque a sua malicia é grande.
14 [There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].
Multidões, multidões no valle da decisão, porque o dia do Senhor perto está, no valle da decisão.
15 [At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
O sol e a lua ennegrecerão, e as estrellas retirarão o seu resplandor.
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.
E o Senhor bramará de Sião, e dará a sua voz de Jerusalem, e os céus e a terra tremerão; mas o Senhor será o refugio do seu povo, e a fortaleza dos filhos de Israel.
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.
E vós sabereis que eu sou o Senhor vosso Deus, que habito em Sião, o monte da minha sanctidade; e Jerusalem será sanctidade; estranhos não passarão mais por ella
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].
E ha de ser que, n'aquelle dia, os montes distillarão mosto, e os outeiros manarão leite, e todos os rios de Judah estarão cheios de aguas; e sairá uma fonte da casa do Senhor, e regará o valle de Sittim.
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,
O Egypto se fará uma assolação, e Edom se fará um deserto de solidão, por causa da violencia que fizeram aos filhos de Judah, em cuja terra derramaram sangue innocente.
20 but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
Mas Judah será habitada para sempre, e Jerusalem de geração em geração.
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].”
E alimparei o sangue dos que eu não alimpei, e o Senhor habitará em Sião.
