Joel 3
1 For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
“Bara sana keessa, yeroo sanatti, ani yommuun boojuu Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem deebisutti,
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.
saboota hunda walitti qabeen gara Sulula Yehooshaafaaxitti gad isaan nan buusa. Anis achitti sababii dhaala koo, sababii Israaʼeliif isaanitti nan mura; isaan saboota gidduutti saba koo bittinneessanii biyya koos gargar qooddataniiruutii.
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.
Isaan uummata kootti ixaa buufatanii ijoollee dhiiraas sagaagalummaatti geeddarataniiru; akka dhuganiif dubara illee daadhii wayiniitti gurguratan.
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.
“Yaa Xiiroosii fi Siidoonaa, isin kutaaleen Filisxeem hundinuu, amma maal narraa qabdu? Isin waan ani godheef haaloo na baafachaa jirtuu? Yoo isin haaloo na baafachaa jirtu taʼe ani dafee ariitiidhaan waan isin hojjettan sana matuma keessanittin deebisa.
5 In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples.
Isin meetii fi warqee koo guurrattanii qabeenya koo filatamaas mana waaqeffannaa keessanitti geeffattaniirtuutii.
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.
Isin biyya isaanii irraa isaan fageessitanii uummata Yihuudaatii fi Yerusaalem Giriikotatti gurgurattan.
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,
“Kunoo, ani biyya isin itti isaan gurgurattan keessaa isaan baasee waan isin hojjettan sana matuma keessanitti nan deebisa.
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.
Ani ilmaanii fi intallan keessan saba Yihuudaatti nan gurgura; isaan immoo saba fagoo jiru kan Saabaa jedhamutti dabarsanii isaan gurguratu.” Waaqayyo dubbateeraatii.
9 Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war.
Waan kana saboota gidduutti labsaa: Waraanaaf qophaaʼaa! Gootota kakaasaa! Loltoonni hundi dhiʼaatanii haa lolan.
10 Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, 'I [am] mighty.'
Maarashaa keessan tumaatii goraadee godhadhaa; haamtuu keessanis tumaatii eeboo godhadhaa. Namni laafaan, “Ani jabaa dha!” haa jedhu.
11 Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty ones.
Isin saboonni qixa hundaan dafaa kottaattii achitti walitti qabamaa. Yaa Waaqayyo, loltoota kee gad ergi!
12 Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
“Saboonni haa kaʼan; isaan dafanii gara Sulula Yehooshaafaax haa dhufan; ani saboota gama hundaan jiranitti muruuf achi nan taaʼaatii.
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.
Midhaan gaʼeeraatii haamtuu itti kaaʼaa. Kottaatii ija wayinii dhidhiitaa; boolli itti wayinii cuunfan guuteeraatii; sababii hamminni isaanii guddaa taʼeef boolli itti wayinii cuunfan guutee irra dhangalaʼeera!”
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision.
Waldaan guddaan, waldaan nama baayʼee sulula murtii keessatti wal gaʼeera! Guyyaan Waaqayyoo sulula murtii keessatti dhufuu gaʼeeraatii.
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Biiftuu fi addeessi ni dukkanaaʼu; urjiiwwanis siʼachi ifa hin kennan.
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.
Waaqayyo Xiyoon irraa ni iyya; Yerusaalem keessaas sagalee dhageessisa; lafaa fi samiin ni raafamu. Waaqayyo garuu saba isaatiif iddoo itti baqatan, saba Israaʼeliif immoo daʼoo ni taʼa.
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.
“Ergasii isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan Xiyoon keessa, gaara koo qulqulluu sana irra jiraadhu ni beektu. Yerusaalem qulqulluu taati; namoonni biyya alaa gonkumaa lammata ishee hin weeraran.
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.
“Gaafas tulluuwwan daadhii wayinii haaraa ni coccobsu; gaarranis aannan yaasu; lageen Yihuudaa hundinuu bishaaniin guutamu. Burqaan tokko mana Waaqayyoo keessaa burqee sulula Shixiim ni obaasa.
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.
Gibxi garuu ni onti; Edoomis duwwaa hafti; isaan dhiiga nama yakka hin qabnee biyyattii keessatti dhangalaasuudhaan saba Yihuudaatti daba hojjetaniiruutii.
20 And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
Yihuudaan bara baraan, Yerusaalemis dhaloota hundaaf iddoo jireenyaa ni taati.
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!
Ani dhiiga isaanii kan yakka hin qabne sana utuun haaloo hin baʼin nan dhiisaa? Lakkii, hin dhiisu.”
