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.
Pues he aquí que en aquellos días y en aquel tiempo, cuando Yo repatriare a los cautivos de Judá y de Jerusalén,
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
congregaré a todos los gentiles y los haré bajar al valle de Josafat; y allí disputaré con ellos en favor de mi pueblo e Israel, la herencia mía, que ellos esparcieron entre las naciones, repartiéndose entre sí mi tierra.
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.
Echaron suertes sobre mi pueblo, y dieron un muchacho por una prostituta; y vendieron una doncella por vino para beber.
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.
En fin ¿qué sois vosotros para Mí, oh Tiro y Sidón, y todas las regiones de Filistea? ¿Por ventura queréis vengaros de Mí? Si queréis vengaros de Mí, ligera y prontamente haré recaer vuestra maldad sobre vuestra cabeza.
5 You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
Porque tomasteis mi plata y mi oro, y os llevasteis a vuestros templos mis joyas preciosas,
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.
y vendisteis los hijos de Judá y los de Jerusalén a los griegos, llevándolos lejos de su país.
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.
He aquí que Yo los suscitaré del lugar donde los vendisteis, y haré recaer vuestra maldad sobre vuestra cabeza.
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.”
Venderé vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas en mano de los hijos de Judá, que los venderán a los sabeos, gente lejana; pues (así) ha hablado Yahvé.
9 Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
Proclamad esto entre los gentiles; preparaos para la guerra, despertad a los valientes. Vengan y suban todos los hombres 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.
Forjad espadas de vuestros azadones, y lanzas de vuestras hoces; diga el débil: “Yo soy fuerte.”
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]!
Apresuraos y venid, gentes todas de en derredor, y congregaos; ¡y Tú, Yahvé, conduce allí tus campeones!
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.
¡Levántense y asciendan los gentiles al valle de Josafat! porque allí me sentaré para juzgar a todos los gentiles a la redonda.
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.
Echad la hoz, porque la mies está ya madura, venid y pisad, porque lleno está el lagar; se desbordan las tinas; pues su iniquidad es 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].
Muchedumbres, muchedumbres hay en el valle de la Sedición, porque se acerca el día de Yahvé en el valle de la Sedición.
15 [At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
El sol y la luna se oscurecen, y las estrellas pierden su 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.
Yahvé ruge desde Sión, y desde Jerusalén hace oír su voz; y tiemblan el cielo y la tierra. Mas Yahvé es el refugio de su pueblo, y la fortaleza de los hijos 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.
Entonces conoceréis que Yo soy Yahvé, vuestro Dios, que habito en Sión, mi santo monte. Jerusalén será santa, y ya no pasarán por ella los extraños.
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].
En aquel día los montes destilarán mosto, y manarán leche los collados; todos los torrentes de Judá correrán llenos de agua, y de la Casa de Yahvé saldrá una fuente que regará el valle de las Acacias.
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,
Egipto será una desolación, y Edom un desierto abandonado, a causa de la opresión (que infligieron) a los hijos de Judá; pues derramaron sangre inocente en su tierra.
20 but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
Mas Judá quedará habitada por siempre, y Jerusalén de generación en generación.
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].”
Y Yo vengaré la sangre de ellos, que no había sido vengada. Y Yahvé morará en Sión.
