< Joel 3 >

1 For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Fa, indro, amin’ ireo andro ireo sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, raha hampodiko ny Joda sy Jerosalema avy amin’ ny fahababoany,
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.
Dia hangoniko ny jentilisa rehetra ka ho entiko midìna ao amin’ ny Lohasahan’ i Josafata, ary ao no hifandaharako aminy noho ny amin’ ny Isiraely, oloko sy lovako, izay naeliny tany amin’ ny jentilisa; Ary nozarazarainy ny taniko,
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.
Sady nanaovany loka ny oloko, dia zazalahy no nataony takalon’ ny vehivavy janga, ary zazavavy no namidiny divay ka nosotroiny.
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.
Ary ianareo koa, ry Tyro sy Sidona, sy ry tany Filistia rehetra, moa mampaninona Ahy akory ianareo? Hamaly Ahy va ianareo, sa hanahoana Ahy? Faingana dia faingana no hanatsingerenako ny nataonareo ho eo an-dohanareo,
5 In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples.
Noho ny natanareo ny volafotsiko sy ny volamenako, sy ny nitondranareo ny zava-tsoako mahafinaritra ho ao amin’ ny tempolinareo;
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.
Ary ny zanak’ i Joda sy ny zanak’ i Jerosalema dia namidinareo tamin’ ny zanaky ny Grika, hamindranareo azy hanalavitra ny taniny.
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,
Indro, hofohaziko izy hiala ny amin’ ny tany Izay nahaverezany noho ny nahalafosanareo azy, ary hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohanareo ny nataonareo,
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.
Ka hamidiko ho lasan’ ny zanak’ i Joda kosa ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo, ary hamidiny amin’ ny Sabeana kosa ireny, dia ho an’ izay firenena lavitra; Fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
9 Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.
Antsoy any amin’ ny jentilisa izany, miantsoa hanao ady masìna, fohazy ny lehilahy mahery, aoka handroso ny mpiady rehetra ka hiakatra;
10 Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, 'I [am] mighty.'
Tefeo ho sabatra ny fangadinareo, ary ho lefona ny antsinareo fanetezam-boaloboka; Aoka izay kelikely aina hihiaka hoe: Mahery aho!
11 Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.
Avia faingana, ianareo jentilisa rehetra avy eny manodidina eny, dia ento midìna ao ny maherinao, Jehovah ô.
12 Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
Hifoha ny jentilisa ka hiakatra ho ao amin’ ny Lohasahan’ i Josafata; Fa ao no hipetrahako hitsara ny jentilisa rehetra avy eny manodidina eny.
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.
Arosoy ny fijinjana, fa masaka ny vokatra; Avia ianareo, ka manosihose, fa feno ny famiazam-boaloboka, mihoatra ny vata fanantazana, fa be ny faharatsiany.
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.
He izany vahoaka mireondreona ao amin’ ny lohasaha fitsarana! Fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny lohasaha fitsarana.
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Ny masoandro sy ny volana ho tonga maizina, ary ny kintana tsy hamirapiratra,
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.
Jehovah mierona ao Ziona, ary mampikotroka ao Jerosalema, ka hihorohoro ny tany aman-danitra; Fa Jehovah no fialofan’ ny olony sy fiarovana mafy ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
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.
Ary dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay monina ao Ziona, tendrombohitro masìna; Dia ho masìna Jerosalema, ary ny hafa firenena tsy mba handeha hamaky eo intsony.
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.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hipoipoitra ranom-boaloboka ny tendrombohitra, handriaka ronono ny havoana, ho feno rano ny lohasahan-driak’ i Joda rehetra, ary hisy loharano hivoaka avy ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka handena ny lohasahan-driak’ i Sitima.
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.
Egypta kosa ho tonga tany lao, ary Edoma ho efitra foana, noho ny fampahoriana ny taranak’ i Joda, dia ny nandatsahany rà marina teo amin’ ny taniny.
20 And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
Fa Joda honenana mandrakizay, ary Jerosalema hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
Ary hamaly ny rà marina izay tsy mbola novaliako Aho; Fa Jehovah monina ao Ziona.
