Joel 3
1 For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
“Jer, gle, u one dane i u ono vrijeme, kad okrenem udes Judeji i Jeruzalemu,
2 Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been judged with them there, Concerning My people and Mine inheritance — Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
sakupit ću sve narode i povesti ih u dolinu Jošafat. Ondje ću im suditi zbog Izraela, naroda mog i moje baštine, koju rastjeraše među narode i razdijeliše moju zemlju među se.
3 And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for wine, That they may drink.
Baciše ždrijeb za moj narod; davali su dječake za bludnice, djevojke prodavali za vino i pili.”
4 And also, what [are] ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn back your recompence on your head.
“I vi, Tire i Sidone, što hoćete od mene? I vi, filistejski kraljevi? Želite li mi se osvetiti? Ako se budete svetili meni, osveta će brzo na vaše glave.
5 In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples.
Na vas što mi oteste srebro i zlato, što odnesoste bogate mi riznice u svoje hramove,
6 And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
na vas koji prodavaste Grcima sinove Jude i Jeruzalema da biste ih otjerali od domovine njihove.
7 Lo, I am stirring them up out of the place Whither ye have sold them, And I have turned back your recompence on your head,
Gle, ja ih kanim dići s mjesta gdje god ih prodaste, i učinit ću da vam zločin vaš padne na glave.
8 And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Shabeans, Unto a nation far off, for Jehovah hath spoken.
Prodat ću vaše sinove i kćeri sinovima Judinim, a oni će ih prodat' Sabejcima, daleku narodu. Jer Jahve reče!”
9 Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.
Razglasite ovo među narodima! Posvetite se za rat! Dižite junake! Naprijed, navalite, svi ratnici!
10 Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, 'I [am] mighty.'
Prekujte raonike u mačeve, kosire u koplja, nek' slabić kaže: “Junak sam!”
11 Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.
Pohitajte i dođite, svi okolni narodi, i ondje se saberite! (Jahve, onamo pošalji svoje junake!)
12 Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
“Budite se, narodi, stupajte u Dolinu Jošafat, jer ću ondje sjesti da sudim svim okolnim narodima.
13 Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in, come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath wine-presses, For great [is] their wickedness.
Hvatajte se srpa: ljetina je zrela. Ustanite, siđite: tijesak je pun, prelijevaju se kace, jer je velika zloća njihova.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.
Mnoštvo, mnoštvo u Dolini Odluke! Da, blizu je dan Jahvin u Dolini Odluke!
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Sunce i mjesec pomrčaše, zvijezde potamnješe.
16 And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And Jehovah [is] a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.
Jahve grmi sa Siona, glas diže iz Jeruzalema; nebo se i zemlja tresu. Ali je Jahve utočište svome narodu i zaštita sinovima Izraela.
17 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.
“Znat ćete tada da sam ja Jahve vaš Bog što stoluje na Sionu, svetoj gori svojoj. Jeruzalem će biti svetište, tuđinac više neće kroza nj proći.”
18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the mountains juice, And the hills do flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah do go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of Shittim.
Kad dođe taj dan, kapat će gore moštom, iz bregova će brizgati mlijeko, kroza sva korita riječna u Judeji voda će proteći. Vrelo će šiknuti iz kuće Jahvine da natopi Dolinu sitimsku.
19 Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a wilderness, becometh, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
Egipat će opustjeti, Edom će postati beživotna pustinja zbog nasilja učinjena sinovima Judinim, jer proliše krv nevinu u njihovoj zemlji.
20 And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
Judeja će dovijek biti naseljena i Jeruzalem u sva koljena.
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
“Osvetit ću krv njihovu za koju se nisam još osvetio.” Jahve će dići Dom svoj na Sionu.
