< Joel 3 >

1 For behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
觀よ我ユダとヱルサレムの俘囚人を歸さん その日その時
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land.
萬國の民を集め之を携へてヨシヤパテの谷にくだりかしこにて我民我ゆづりの產なるイスラエルのために彼らをさばかん 彼らこれを國々に散してその地を分ち取りたればなり
3 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
彼らは籤をひきて我民を取り童子を娼妓に換へ童女を賣り酒に換て飮めり
4 Yes, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily I will return your recompense upon your own head;
ツロ、シドンよベリシテのすべての國よ 汝ら我と何のかかはりあらんや 汝ら我がなししことに返をなさんとするや 若し我に返報をなさんとならば我忽ち迅速に汝らがなししことをもてその首に歸らしめん
5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.
是は汝らは我の金銀を取り我のしたふべき寶を汝らの宮にたづさへゆき
6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold to the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
またユダの人とヱルサレムの人をギリシヤ人に賣りてその本國より遠く離らせたればなり
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own head:
視よ我かられを起して汝らが賣りたる處より出し汝らがなししことをもてその首にかへらしめん
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].
我はなんぢらの男子女子をユダの人の手に賣り彼らは之を遠き民なるシバ人に賣らん ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
もろもろの國に宣つたへよ 戰爭の準備を爲し勇士をはげまし軍人をことごとくちかより來らしめよ
10 Beat your plow-shares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong.
汝等の鋤を劍に打かへ汝らの鎌を鎗に打かへよ 弱き者も我は強しと言へ
11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together around: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
四周の國々の民よ汝ら急ぎ上りて集れ ヱホバよ汝の勇士をかしこに降したまへ
12 Let the heathen be awakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen on every side.
國々の民よ起て上りヨシヤパテの谷に至れ 彼處に我座をしめて四周の國々の民をことごとく鞫かん
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, go down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness [is] great.
鎌をいれよ 穀物は熟せり 來り踏めよ酒榨は盈ち甕は溢る 彼らの惡大なればなりと
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.
かまびすしきかな無數の民審判の谷にありてかまびすし ヱホバの日審判の谷に近づくが故なり
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
日も月も暗くなり星その光明を失ふ
16 The LORD also will roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
ヱホバ、シオンよりよびとどろかしヱルサレムより聲をはなち天地を震ひうごかしたまふ 然れどヱホバはその民の避所イスラエルの子孫の城となりたまはん
17 So shall ye know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
かくて汝ら我はヱホバ汝等の神にして我聖山シオンに住むことをしるべし ヱルサレムは聖き所となり他國の人は重ねてその中をかよふまじ
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
その日山にあたらしき酒滴り岡に乳流れユダのもろもろの河に水流れヱホバの家より泉水流れいでてシッテムの谷に灌がん
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence [against] the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
エジプトは荒すたれエドムは荒野とならん 是はかれらユダの子孫を虐げ辜なき者の血をその國に流したればなり
20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
されどユダは永久にすまひヱルサレムは世々に保たん
21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
我さきにはかれらが流しし血の罪を報いざりしが今はこれをむくいん ヱホバ、シオンに住みたまはん
