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,
Kònen twonpèt sou mòn Siyon an! Bay siyal la sou mòn ki apa pou Bondye a! Se pou tout moun nan peyi Jida a tranble, paske jou Seyè a pa lwen rive. L'ap pwoche.
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.
Se va yon jou ki pral fè nwa kou lank, ak syèl la plen nwaj nwa, yon jou kote nwaj nwa ak pousyè pral kouvri latè. Yon lame krikèt ap vanse. Yo gwonèg anpil! Tankou solèy la lè l'ap leve, y'ap kouvri mòn yo. Se bagay nou poko janm wè, bagay nou p'ap janm wè ankò, jouk sa kaba.
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.
Tankou dife, yo devore tou sa ki devan yo. Yo pa kite anyen kote yo pase. Anvan yo te vini, peyi a te tankou yon ti paradi. Lè yo fin pase, li tounen yon dezè san anyen ladan l'. Anyen pa chape anba dan yo.
4 The lokyng of hem schal be as the lokyng of horsis, and as horse men so thei schulen renne.
Yo tankou chwal, yo kouri tankou chwal sèl.
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.
Lè y'ap soti sou tèt mòn yo, yo fè yon bri tankou cha lagè k'ap pase, tankou dife nan pay chèch. Yo mache an ran tankou yon gwo lame tou pare pou goumen.
6 Puplis schulen be turmentid of the face therof, alle facis schulen be dryuun in to a pot.
Lè y'ap pwoche, tout moun pran tranble. Figi tout moun dekonpoze.
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.
Yo atake tankou vanyan sòlda. Yo moute sou miray yo tankou sòlda k'ap fè lagè. Yo mache dwat devan yo, yo pa vire ni adwat ni agoch.
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.
Yonn pa antrave lòt nan mach yo. Yo chak ap swiv chemen pa yo. Yo janbe tou sa yo mete pou bare yo. Anyen pa rete yo.
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.
Yo pran lavil la pou yo. Yo kouri moute sou miray yo. Yo moute anwo kay yo, yo pase antre nan fennèt yo tankou vòlò.
10 The erthe tremblide of his face, heuenys weren mouyd, the sunne and the moone weren maad derk, and sterris withdrowen her schynyng.
Tè a souke lè y'ap mache vini. Syèl la tranble. Solèy la ak lalin lan vin tou nwa, zetwal yo pa klere nan syèl la ankò.
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?
Seyè a ap mache alatèt lame li a: l'ap pase yo lòd. Lame a anpil. Yo gwonèg: Y'ap fè sa li ba yo lòd fè a. Ala yon gwo jou se jou Seyè a! Se yon jou pou moun pè tout bon vre. Ki moun ki va rete kanpe apre jou sa a?
12 Now therfor seith the Lord, Be ye conuertid to me in al youre herte, in fastyng, and wepyng, and weilyng;
Seyè a pale, li di: -Menm koulye a, tounen vin jwenn mwen ak tout kè nou! Fè jèn, kriye kont kò nou, plenn sò nou!
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.
Se pa rad sou nou pou nou chire, se kè nou menm pou nou chire pou fè wè jan nou nan lapenn. Tounen vin jwenn Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Li gen bon kè anpil, li gen pitye pou moun. Li pa fache fasil, li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Li toujou pare pou padonnen nou.
14 Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and leeue blessyng aftir hym? sacrifice and moist sacrifice to oure Lord God.
Sa ki konnen? Li ka chanje lide, li ka padonnen nou. Li ka ban nou benediksyon. N'a gen grenn jaden ak diven ankò pou nou fè ofrann bay Seyè a, Bondye nou an!
15 Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, halewe ye fastyng, clepe ye cumpany; gadere ye togidere the puple, halewe ye the chirche,
Kònen twonpèt sou mòn Siyon an! Bay lòd pou tout moun fè jèn! Mande pou tout moun reyini!
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.
Sanble pèp la. Pare tout moun pou fè sèvis. Sanble vye granmoun yo! Reyini tout timoun yo, menm timoun ki nan tete. Ata moun ki fenk marye yo, se pou yo kite kay yo vini tou.
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?
Nan lakou ki separe gwo pòtay tanp lan ak lotèl la, se pou prèt yo, sèvitè Seyè a, pran kriye. Se pou yo di: Pitye, Seyè, pitye pou pèp ou a. Pa kite moun lòt nasyon yo pase moun pa ou yo nan betiz pou fè yo wont, pou yo ta di: Kote Bondye yo a?
18 The Lord louyde gelousli his lond, and sparide his puple.
Lè sa a, Seyè a fè wè jan li renmen peyi li a. Li fè pèp li a gras.
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.
Li reponn, li di pèp la konsa: -Bon! Mwen pral ban nou ble, diven ak lwil fre. N'ap gen tou sa n'a bezwen. Mwen p'ap janm kite moun lòt nasyon yo pase nou nan betiz ankò.
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.
Mwen pral chase lame krikèt la byen lwen nou. Wi, lame krikèt ki te soti nan nò a. M'ap voye yo ale nan dezè a, kote ki pa gen dlo, kote ki pa gen pyebwa. Tèt lame krikèt yo va pran direksyon lanmè ki sou bò solèy leve a, lanmè Mouri a. Ke lame krikèt yo va pran direksyon lanmè ki sou bò solèy kouche a, lanmè Mediterane a. Kadav yo pral pouri, y'ap bay move sant. Seyè a fè anpil bagay pou nou.
21 Erthe, nyle thou drede, make thou ful out ioye, and be glad; for the Lord magnefiede that he schulde do.
Nou menm jaden yo, nou pa bezwen pè ankò. Fè fèt, fè kè nou kontan, paske Seyè a fè anpil pou nou!
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.
Nou menm zannimo nan savann yo, nou pa bezwen pè ankò: jaden zèb yo pral pouse byen bèl, pyebwa yo pral donnen, pye fig frans yo ak pye rezen yo pral bay bèl rekòt.
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.
Nou menm, moun Siyon yo, fè fèt! Fè kè nou kontan poutèt sa Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fè pou nou. Li ban nou kantite lapli nou te bezwen nan sezon lotòn. Li ban nou gwo lapli loraj ak lapli nan sezon prentan, jan l' te konn fè l' anvan an.
24 And cornflooris schulen be fillid of wheete, and pressours schulen flowe with wyn, and oile.
Glasi yo pral plen grenn. Barik yo pral plen diven ak lwil fre.
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.
M'a ban nou ankò tou sa nou te pèdi pandan tout tan bann gwo krikèt yo, ti krikèt yo, ti chini yo ak gwo chini yo te devore rekòt nou yo. Se mwen menm ki te voye lame sa a sou nou.
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.
Nou pral manje plen vant nou. N'a fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ki te fè tout bèl bagay sa yo pou nou. Yo p'ap janm pase pèp mwen an nan betiz ankò.
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.
Lè sa a, n'a konnen mwen kanpe la nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki Bondye nou. Pa gen tankou m'. Yo p'ap janm pase pèp mwen an nan betiz ankò.
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.
Apre sa, m'a vide lespri mwen sou tout moun. Pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo va bay mesaj m'a ba yo. Granmoun nou yo va fè rèv. Jennmoun nou yo va gen vizyon.
29 But also Y schal schede out my spirit on my seruauntis, and handmaydis, in tho daies;
Wi, lè sa a, m'a vide lespri m' sou tout moun, ata sou moun k'ap travay lakay nou, fi kou gason.
30 and Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene, and in erthe, blood, and fier, and the heete of smoke.
M'apral fè mèvèy parèt nan syèl la ak sou latè a. Va gen san, dife ak gwo nwaj lafimen.
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.
Solèy la pral vin tou nwa, lalin lan pral vin wouj kou san anvan jou Seyè a va rive. Aa! Se va yon gwo jou, yon jou k'ap fè moun tranble.
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.
Lè sa a, tout moun ki va rele nan pye Seyè a va sove. Paske sou mòn Siyon ak nan lavil Jerizalèm va gen moun ki va chape, jan Seyè a te di l' la. Wi, tout moun Seyè a va chwazi, se yo ki va chape.
