Joel 3
1 Behold, in those days and at that time, when I return the exiles of Judah and Jerusalem,
Quia ecce in diebus illis, et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda, et Ierusalem:
2 I will gather all the nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. I will judge them there, because of my people and my inheritance Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, and because they divided up my land.
Congregabo omnes Gentes, et deducam eas in vallem Iosaphat: et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo, et hereditate mea Israel, quos disperserunt in nationibus, et terram meam diviserunt.
3 They cast lots for my people, traded a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine so they could drink.
Et super populum meum miserunt sortem: et posuerunt puerum in prostibulo, et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent.
4 Now, why are you angry at me, Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? Even if you do repay me, I will immediately return your retribution on your own head.
Verum quid mihi et vobis Tyrus et Sidon, et omnis terminus Palaesthinorum? numquid ultionem vos reddetis mihi? et si ulciscimini vos contra me, cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum.
5 For you took my silver and my gold, and you brought my precious treasures into your temples.
Argentum enim meum, et aurum tulistis: et desiderabilia mea, et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, in order to remove them far from their territory.
Et filios Iuda, et filios Ierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum, ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.
7 Look, I am about to stir them up, out of the place where you sold them, and will return payment on your own head.
Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco, in quo vendidistis eos: et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.
8 I will sell your sons and your daughters, by the hand of the people of Judah. They will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off, for Yahweh has spoken.”
Et vendam filios vestros, et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda, et venundabunt eos Sabaeis genti longinquae, quia Dominus locutus est.
9 Proclaim this among the nations, “Prepare yourselves for war, rouse the mighty men, let them come near, let all the men of battle come up.
Clamate hoc in Gentibus, sanctificate bellum, suscitate robustos: accedant, ascendant omnes viri bellatores.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning knives into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'
Concidite aratra vestra in gladios, et ligones vestros in lanceas. Infirmus dicat: Quia fortis ego sum.
11 Hurry and come, all you nearby nations, gather yourselves together there. Yahweh, bring down your mighty warriors.
Erumpite, et venite omnes gentes de circuitu, et congregamini: ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.
12 Let the nations wake themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
Consurgant, et ascendant Gentes in vallem Iosaphat: quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu.
13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, crush the grapes, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their wickedness is enormous.”
Mittite falces, quoniam maturavit messis: venite, et descendite, quia plenum est torcular, exuberant torcularia: quia multiplicata est malitia eorum.
14 There is a tumult, a tumult in the Valley of Judgment. For the day of Yahweh is near in the Valley of Judgment.
Populi populi in valle concisionis: quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis.
15 The sun and the moon become dark, the stars keep back their brightness.
Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum.
16 Yahweh will roar from Zion, and raise his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and earth will shake, but Yahweh will be a shelter for his people, and a fortress for the people of Israel.
Et Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et movebuntur caeli, et terra: et Dominus spes populi sui, et fortitudo filiorum Israel.
17 “So you will know that I am Yahweh your God who lives in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no army will march through her again.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion monte sancto meo. et erit Ierusalem sancta, et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius.
18 It will come about on that day that the mountains will drip with sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with water, and a fountain will come from the house of Yahweh and water the Valley of Shittim.
Et erit in die illa: stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et colles fluent lacte: et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae: et fons de domo Domini egredietur, et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.
19 Egypt will become an abandoned devastation, and Edom will become an abandoned wilderness, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land.
Aegyptus in desolationem erit, et Idumaea in desertum perditionis: pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda, et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem will be inhabited from generation to generation.
Et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur, et Ierusalem in generatione et generationem.
21 I will avenge their blood that I have not yet avenged, for Yahweh lives in Zion.”
Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram: et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.
