Joel 2
1 Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, yelle ye in myn hooli hil. Alle the dwelleris of erthe be disturblid; for the dai of the Lord cometh,
你们要在锡安吹角， 在我圣山吹出大声。 国中的居民都要发颤； 因为耶和华的日子将到， 已经临近。
2 for the dai of derknessis and of myist is niy, the dai of cloude and of whirlewynde. As the morewtid spred abrood on hillis, a myche puple and strong. Noon was lijk it fro the bigynnyng, and after it schal not be, til in to yeeris of generacioun and of generacioun.
那日是黑暗、幽冥、 密云、乌黑的日子， 好像晨光铺满山岭。 有一队蝗虫又大又强； 从来没有这样的， 以后直到万代也必没有。
3 Bifore the face therof schal be fier deuourynge, and after it schal be brennynge flawme; as a gardyn of liking the lond schal be bifor him, and wildirnesse of desert schal be after him, and noon is that schal ascape him.
它们前面如火烧灭， 后面如火焰烧尽。 未到以前，地如伊甸园； 过去以后，成了荒凉的旷野； 没有一样能躲避它们的。
4 The lokyng of hem schal be as the lokyng of horsis, and as horse men so thei schulen renne.
它们的形状如马， 奔跑如马兵。
5 As the sown of cartis on the heedis of hillis thei schulen skippe; as the sowne of the flawme of fier deuourynge stobil, as a strong puple maad redi to batel.
在山顶蹦跳的响声如车辆的响声， 又如火焰烧碎秸的响声， 好像强盛的民摆阵预备打仗。
6 Puplis schulen be turmentid of the face therof, alle facis schulen be dryuun in to a pot.
它们一来，众民伤恸， 脸都变色。
7 As stronge men thei schulen renne, as men werriours thei schulen stie on the wal. Men schulen go in her weies, and thei schulen not bowe awei fro her pathis.
它们如勇士奔跑， 像战士爬城； 各都步行，不乱队伍。
8 Ech man schal not make streyt his brother, ech man schal go in his path; but also thei schulen falle doun bi wyndows, and schulen not be hirt.
彼此并不拥挤，向前各行其路， 直闯兵器，不偏左右。
9 Thei schulen entre in to the citee, thei schulen renne on the wal; thei schulen stie on housis, thei schulen entre as a niyt theef bi wyndows.
它们蹦上城，蹿上墙， 爬上房屋， 进入窗户如同盗贼。
10 The erthe tremblide of his face, heuenys weren mouyd, the sunne and the moone weren maad derk, and sterris withdrowen her schynyng.
它们一来， 地震天动， 日月昏暗， 星宿无光。
11 And the Lord yaf his vois bifor the face of his oost, for hise oostis ben ful manye; for tho ben stronge, and doen the word of hym. For the dai of the Lord is greet, and ful ferdful, and who schal suffre it?
耶和华在他军旅前发声， 他的队伍甚大； 成就他命的是强盛者。 因为耶和华的日子大而可畏， 谁能当得起呢？
12 Now therfor seith the Lord, Be ye conuertid to me in al youre herte, in fastyng, and wepyng, and weilyng;
耶和华说：虽然如此， 你们应当禁食、哭泣、悲哀， 一心归向我。
13 and kerue ye youre hertis, and not youre clothis, and be ye conuertid to youre Lord God, for he is benygne, and merciful, pacient, and of myche merci, and abidynge, ether foryyuynge, on malice.
你们要撕裂心肠， 不撕裂衣服。 归向耶和华—你们的 神； 因为他有恩典，有怜悯， 不轻易发怒， 有丰盛的慈爱， 并且后悔不降所说的灾。
14 Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and leeue blessyng aftir hym? sacrifice and moist sacrifice to oure Lord God.
或者他转意后悔，留下余福， 就是留下献给耶和华—你们 神的素祭和奠祭， 也未可知。
15 Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, halewe ye fastyng, clepe ye cumpany; gadere ye togidere the puple, halewe ye the chirche,
你们要在锡安吹角， 分定禁食的日子， 宣告严肃会。
16 gadere ye togidere elde men, gadere ye togidere litle children, and soukynge the brestis; a spouse go out of his bed, and a spousesse of hir chaumbre.
聚集众民，使会众自洁： 招聚老者， 聚集孩童和吃奶的； 使新郎出离洞房， 新妇出离内室。
17 Prestis, the mynystris of the Lord, schulen wepe bitwixe the porche and the auter, and schulen seie, Lord! spare thou, spare thi puple, and yyue thou not thin eritage in to schenschipe, that naciouns be lordis of hem. Whi seien thei among puplis, Where is the God of hem?
事奉耶和华的祭司 要在廊子和祭坛中间哭泣，说： 耶和华啊，求你顾惜你的百姓， 不要使你的产业受羞辱， 列邦管辖他们。 为何容列国的人说： “他们的 神在哪里”呢？
18 The Lord louyde gelousli his lond, and sparide his puple.
耶和华就为自己的地发热心， 怜恤他的百姓。
19 And the Lord answeride, and seide to his puple, Lo! Y schal sende to you wheete, and wyn, and oile, and ye schulen be fillid with tho; and Y schal no more yyue you schenschipe among hethene men.
耶和华应允他的百姓说： 我必赐给你们五谷、新酒，和油， 使你们饱足； 我也不再使你们受列国的羞辱；
20 And Y schal make hym that is at the north fer fro you; and Y schal cast hym out in to a lond with out weie, and desert; his face ayens the eest see, and the laste part therof at the last see; and the stynk therof schal stie, and the root therof schal stie, for he dide proudli.
却要使北方来的军队远离你们， 将他们赶到干旱荒废之地： 前队赶入东海， 后队赶入西海； 因为他们所行的大恶， 臭气上升，腥味腾空。
21 Erthe, nyle thou drede, make thou ful out ioye, and be glad; for the Lord magnefiede that he schulde do.
地土啊，不要惧怕； 要欢喜快乐， 因为耶和华行了大事。
22 Beestis of the cuntrei, nyle ye drede, for the faire thingis of desert buriowneden; for the tre brouyte his fruyt, the fige tre and vyner yauen her vertu.
田野的走兽啊，不要惧怕； 因为，旷野的草发生， 树木结果， 无花果树、葡萄树也都效力。
23 And the sones of Sion, make ye ful out ioie, and be ye glad in youre Lord God, for he yaf to you a techere of riytfulnesse, and he schal make morewtid reyn and euentid reyn to come doun to you, as in the bigynnyng.
锡安的民哪，你们要快乐， 为耶和华—你们的 神欢喜； 因他赐给你们合宜的秋雨， 为你们降下甘霖， 就是秋雨、春雨，和先前一样。
24 And cornflooris schulen be fillid of wheete, and pressours schulen flowe with wyn, and oile.
禾场必满了麦子； 酒榨与油榨必有新酒和油盈溢。
25 And Y schal yelde to you the yeris whiche the locuste, bruke, and rust, and wort worm, my greet strengthe, eet, which Y sente in to you.
我打发到你们中间的大军队， 就是蝗虫、蝻子、蚂蚱、剪虫， 那些年所吃的，我要补还你们。
26 And ye schulen ete etyng, and ye schulen be fillid; and ye schulen herie the name of youre Lord God, that made merueils with you; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
你们必多吃而得饱足， 就赞美为你们行奇妙事之耶和华—你们 神的名。 我的百姓必永远不至羞愧。
27 And ye schulen wite, that Y am in the myddis of Israel; and Y am youre Lord God, and `noon is more; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
你们必知道我是在以色列中间， 又知道我是耶和华—你们的 神； 在我以外并无别神。 我的百姓必永远不致羞愧。
28 And it schal be, aftir these thingis Y schal schede out my spirit on ech man, and youre sones and youre douytris schulen profesie; youre elde men schulen dreme dremes, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns.
以后，我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。 你们的儿女要说预言； 你们的老年人要做异梦， 少年人要见异象。
29 But also Y schal schede out my spirit on my seruauntis, and handmaydis, in tho daies;
在那些日子， 我要将我的灵浇灌我的仆人和使女。
30 and Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene, and in erthe, blood, and fier, and the heete of smoke.
“在天上地下，我要显出奇事，有血，有火，有烟柱。
31 The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet dai and orrible of the Lord come.
日头要变为黑暗，月亮要变为血，这都在耶和华大而可畏的日子未到以前。
32 And it schal be, ech that clepith to helpe the name of the Lord, schal be saaf; for whi saluacioun schal be in the hil of Sion and in Jerusalem, as the Lord seide, and in the residue men, whiche the Lord clepith.
到那时候，凡求告耶和华名的就必得救；因为照耶和华所说的，在锡安山，耶路撒冷必有逃脱的人，在剩下的人中必有耶和华所召的。”
