< Joel 2 >
1 Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill, Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day of Jehovah, for [it is] near!
Popòho e Tsione ao ty antsiva, koiho an-kaboako miavake ey ty hazolava; ee te hihondrahondra iaby ondaty an-tane atoio, fa hitsatoke ty andro’ Iehovà; toe fa an-titotse;
2 A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like it there hath not been from of old, And after it there is not again — till the years of generation and generation.
Andro maieñe naho mimoromoroñe, andro mandrahoñe naho aman-talinjo mihanake am-bohitsey manahake t’ie manjirik’andro; ondaty mifamorohotse naho fàtratse; mboe lia’e tsy niañ’ohatse; vaho le lia’e tsy ho limbezañe, ampara’ ty taon-tariratse maro añe.
3 Before it consumed hath fire, And after it burn doth a flame, As the garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness — a desolation! And also an escape there hath not been to it,
Mamorototo aolo’e eo ty afo, vaho mivoly ama’e ty soba miforehetse, ie hoe golobo’ i Edene ty aolo’e eo le liolio, mangoakoake ty amboho’e; tsy eo ty mahaborifitse ama’e.
4 As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.
Manahake o soavalao iereo, naho o mpiningi-tsoavalao, izay ty fitsondemboha’ iareo.
5 As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.
Manahake ty fitrakotrakon-tsarete mitrantràñe an-dengom-bohitse ey, hoe ty fikosisiha’ ty lel’afo mipilotse ahetse, naho ondaty maozatse miriritse hialy.
6 From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered paleness.
Mampalorè ondatio te zoeñe; fonga mikò-foty o laharañeo.
7 As mighty ones they run, As men of war they go up a wall, And each in his own ways they do go, And they embarrass not their paths.
Manahake o fanalolahio ty filaisa’ iareo, anganiha’ iareo o kijolio hoe lahin-defoñe, songa mandrodo amy lala’ey, tsy eo ty mivitsok’ am-pidadaña’e.
8 And each his brother they press not, Each in his way they go on, If by the missile they fall, they are not cut off.
Tsy mifampikititse iereo fa songa mitrokotroko amy lala’ey; aa ndra te mipenkañe ty singa ipaoha’e, ie tsy fere.
9 In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.
Herereafe’ ty rova, mirimatse an-drindriñe, manganike mb’anjomba ao; mitsoropoke an-dalan-kede hoe malaso.
10 At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Manginikinik’ aolo’e eo ty tane, miozoñozoñe o likerañeo; mikò-mainte i àndroy naho i volañey, le asita’ o vasiañeo o fimilemile’eo.
11 And Jehovah hath given forth His voice before His force, For very great [is] His camp, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the day of Jehovah — very fearful, And who doth bear it?
Mampipoña-piarañanañañe añatrefa’ o lahindefo’eo t’Iehovà; amy te ra’elahy o lahindefo’eo, fatratse o mañorike o tsara’eoo; toe jabajaba ty andro’ Iehovà vaho mampangebahebake, Ia ty mahafifeak’ ama’e?
12 And also now — an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.
Ie amy zao, hoe t’Iehovà, itoliho an-kaliforan’arofo, naho am-pililarañe, am-pirovetañe, vaho am-pangololoihañe.
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful [is] He, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented concerning the evil.
Mandrovita arofo fa tsy sikiñe, le mitoliha am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, fa matarike naho miferenaiñe, malaon-kaviñerañe naho ra’elahy an-kafatraram-pikokoañe, vaho teñene’e ty fametsahan-kankàñe.
14 Who knoweth — He doth turn back, Yea — He hath repented, And He hath left behind Him a blessing, A present and libation of Jehovah your God?
Ia ty mahafohiñe, hera hibalike re naho hiheve, vaho hamopoke fañanintsiñe am-boho’e eo, añengao mahakama naho enga-rano am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
15 Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, Sanctify a fast — proclaim a restraint.
Popoho e Tsione ao i antsivay, añamasiño lilitse, koiho ty fivory miavake;
16 Gather the people, sanctify an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Go out let a bridegroom from his inner chamber, And a bride out of her closet.
Atontono ondatio; hamasiño ty fivory, arokandrokaño o androanavio, atolaho o ajajao rekets’ o milomolomo am-patroao, ampiakaro an-kivoho’e i mpañengay, boak’ an-kiboho’e ao i enga-vaoy.
17 Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests, ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: 'Have pity, O Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where [is] their God?'
Ehe te hiharovetse añivo’ i fizilihañey naho i kitreliy o mpisoroñe mpitoro’ Iehovào, hanao ty hoe: Ferenaiño ondati’oo, ry Iehovà, le ko atolo’o ho arinjeñeñe o lova’oo hamokafoka’ o kilakila’ ndatio; aa vaho akore t’ie hampiboele am’ondatio ty hoe: Aia t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo?
18 And let Jehovah be zealous for His land, And have pity on His people.
Nikirañe i tane’ey amy zao t’Iehovà, vaho ferenaiña’e ondati’eo,
19 Let Jehovah answer and say to His people, 'Lo, I am sending to you the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And ye have been satisfied with it, And I make you no more a reproach among nations,
Hanoiñe t’Iehovà hanao ty hoe am’ondati’eo: Ingo te hampañitrifeko ampemba vao naho divay vao vaho menake, haha-anjañe anahareo, le tsy hanoeko ho fañinjea’ o kilakila’ ondatio ka.
20 And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him unto a land dry and desolate, With his face unto the eastern sea, And his rear unto the western sea, And come up hath his stink, And come up doth his stench, For he hath exerted himself to work.
Fa hasitako lavitse anahareo o ‘ntavaratseo, naho haronjeko mb’an-tane harake naho bangìñe añe; hitolike mb’amy riak’ atiñanañey o mpiaolo’eo, naho o am-boli’eo mb’an-driak’ ahandrefañey, le hionjoñe ty imbo’e vaho hiambone ty fitrotrora’e, amy te ra’elahy o nanoe’eo.
21 Do not fear, O land! joy and rejoice, For Jehovah hath exerted Himself to work.
Ko hemban-drehe ry tane; mifalea naho mandià taroba; amy te fanjàka o fitoloña’ Iehovào.
22 Do not fear, O cattle of the field! For sprung forth have pastures of a wilderness, For the tree hath borne its fruit, Fig-tree and vine have given their strength!
Ko matahotse ry bibin-kivokeo; fa mbe haindoñindoñe o fiandrazañe am-patrambeio, mbe hamoa ty voa’e o hatae’eo, songa hamokatse ty sakoa naho ty vahe.
23 And ye sons of Zion, joy and rejoice, In Jehovah your God, For He hath given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causeth to come down to you a shower, Sprinkling and gathered — in the beginning.
Mirebeha ry ana’ i Tsioneo, mifalea am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, fa havantañañe ty mampahavy i ora-mafaitsey, toe hampahavia’e orañe, i aoloy naho i orañ’asotriy manahake te taolo.
24 And full have been the floors [with] pure corn, And overflown have the presses [with] new wine and oil.
Ho lifotse ampemba o rihao, vaho handopatse divay naho menake o sajoao.
25 And I have recompensed to you the years That consume did the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that I did send against you.
Havahako ama’ areo o taoñe nabotse’ o valalao, naho o maramboloo, naho o beañeo vaho o voan-taneo, i mpirai-lian-dahin-defoñe niraheko ama’ areoy.
26 And ye have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the name of Jehovah your God, Who hath dealt with you wonderfully, And not ashamed are My people to the age.
Ho eneñe mahakama nahareo, toe ho anjañe, naho ho rengè’ areo ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, amy hasoa tsitantane nitoloña’ey; vaho tsy ho salatse ka ondatikoo.
27 And ye have known that in the midst of Israel [am] I, And I [am] Jehovah your God, and there is none else, And not ashamed are My people to the age.
Le ho fohi’ areo te añivo’ Israele ao iraho, le te Izaho, Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ro tsy aman-tovo’e, vaho tsy ho salatse ka ondatikoo.
28 And it hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see visions.
Ie heneke zao, hadoako amy ze atao nofotse ty Troko; le hitoky o ana-dahio naho o anak’ampela’ areoo, naho hañinofy o androanavi’ areoo, vaho hahaoniñe aroñaroñe o ajalahi’ areoo;
29 And also on the men-servants, and on the maid-servants, In those days I do pour out My Spirit.
Le hailiko amo mpitoroñeo, naho amo anak’ ampatañeo ty Troko amy andro rezay.
30 And I have given wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, Blood and fire, and columns of smoke.
Hampiboahako raha tsitantane an-dindiñe ey, naho an-tane atoy, lio naho afo, vaho hatoeñe mijoala.
31 The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful.
Hafotetse ho ieñe i àndroy, naho ho lio i volañey, aolo ty fitotsaha’ i andro’ Iehovà jabajaba naho mampangebahebakey.
32 And it hath come to pass, Every one who calleth in the name of Jehovah is delivered, For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As Jehovah hath said, And among the remnants whom Jehovah is calling!
Ie amy zay, ho rombaheñe ze mikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà; fa hipolititse an-kaboa’ i Tsione ao naho e Ierosalaime ao ty ila’e amy nafè’ Iehovày, vaho ho kanjie’ Iehovà o sehanga’eo.
