< Jowèl 3 >

1 Seyè a di ankò: -Lè sa a, jou sa yo, m'a fè peyi Jida a ak lavil Jerizalèm kanpe ankò.
That there! in the days those and at the time that when (I will cause to turn back *Q(K)*) [the] captivity of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Apre sa, m'a sanble tout nasyon yo. M'a fè yo desann nan Fon Jijman Bondye a. Se la mwen pral jije yo pou tou sa yo fè Izrayèl, pèp mwen an, moun pa m' yo. Paske, se yo ki te gaye moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Lèfini, yo te separe peyi mwen an.
And I will gather all the nations and I will bring down them to [the] valley of Jehoshaphat and I will enter into judgment with them there on people my and inheritance my Israel which they have scattered among the nations and land my they have divided up.
3 Yo te tire osò pou konnen pou ki moun prizonye yo ap ye. Yo te vann ti gason yo pou yo te ka gen lajan pou al nan jennès. Yo te vann tifi yo pou yo te ka gen lajan pou achte bweson, Lèfini, yo bwè jouk yo sou.
And to people my they have cast a lot and they have exchanged the boy for the prostitute and the girl they have sold for wine and they have drunk.
4 Nou menm moun lavil Tir ak moun lavil Sidon, sa n'ap chache fè m' konsa? Nou menm tou ki rete nan tout zòn peyi Filisti a, se chache n'ap chache fè m' peye pou sa m' te fè nou? Si nou vle tire revanj nou sou mwen, enben, anvan nou bat je nou, m'ap fè nou peye sa.
And also what? [are] you to me O Tyre and Sidon and all [the] territories of Philistia ¿ recompense [are] you repaying to me and or? making recompense [are] you to me swift quickly I will return recompense your on head your.
5 Nou te pran tout ajan ak tout lò mwen yo, nou pote tout bèl gwo richès mwen yo ale nan tanp nou yo.
That silver my and gold my you took and desirable things my good you took to own temples your.
6 Nou pran moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo, nou mennen yo byen lwen peyi yo: n' al vann yo bay moun peyi Lagrès.
And [the] people of Judah and [the] people of Jerusalem you sold to [the] people of the Greeks so as to remove far away them from on own territory their.
7 Koulye a, mwen pral fè yo soti kote nou te vann yo a. Mwen pral fè nou sa nou te fè yo a.
Here I [am] about to rouse them from the place where you sold them there and I will return recompense your on head your.
8 Mwen pral vann pitit gason ak pitit fi nou yo. Mwen pral lage yo nan men moun Jida yo. Yo menm, yo pral vann yo bay sabeyen yo ki rete nan yon peyi byen lwen. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
And I will sell sons your and daughters your in [the] hand of [the] people of Judah and they will sell them to [the] Sabeans to a nation distant for Yahweh he has spoken.
9 Mache fè piblikasyon sa a nan mitan tout nasyon yo! Pare nou pou n' al fè lagè pou Bondye! Rele tout vanyan gason yo! Sanble tout sòlda yo! Fè yo mache pran yo!
Proclaim this among the nations consecrate a war rouse the warriors let them draw near let them go up all [the] men of war.
10 Pran lam fè ki nan chari nou yo fè nepe. Pran kouto digo nou yo, fè fwenn ak yo. Menm moun ki pi fèb yo pral di yo vanyan gason.
Beat plowshares your into swords and pruning knives your into spears the weak [man] let him say [am] a warrior I.
11 Nou menm, tout nasyon ki sou lizyè fwontyè peyi a, prese non! Kouri vini! Sanble nan fon an! Seyè, voye vanyan sòlda ou yo al atake yo!
Hurry and come O all the nations from round about and they will gather there bring down O Yahweh warriors your.
12 Se pou tout nasyon ki sou lizyè fwontyè peyi a sanble tout lame yo pou yo vini nan Fon Jijman an, paske se la mwen pral chita pou m' jije tout nasyon ki sou lizyè fwontyè peyi a.
Let them be roused and they may go up the nations to [the] valley of Jehoshaphat for there I will sit to judge all the nations from round about.
13 Moun sa yo twò mechan. Koupe tèt yo tankou lè n'ap ranmase rekòt ki mi. Kraze yo anba pye nou tankou lè n'ap kraze rezen nan basen pou fè diven. Barik ji rezen yo plen ap debòde.
Send out [the] sickle for it has grown ripe [the] harvest come tread for it is full [the] winepress they are overflowing the wine-vats for [is] great evil their.
14 Foul moun sou foul moun nan Fon Jijman an! Paske jou Seyè a pa lwen rive nan Fon Jijman an.
Multitudes multitudes [are] in [the] valley of decision for [is] near [the] day of Yahweh in [the] valley of decision.
15 Solèy la ak lalin lan vin tou nwa. Zetwal yo pa klere nan syèl la.
Sun and moon they have become dark and [the] stars they have withdrawn brightness their.
16 Seyè a rete sou mòn Siyon, l'ap gwonde. Li rete lavil Jerizalèm, l'ap pale byen fò. Syèl la ak latè a ap tranble. Men, se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje pèp li a. Se li k'ap pran defans moun Izrayèl yo.
And Yahweh from Zion he will roar and from Jerusalem he will give forth voice his and they will shake heaven and earth and Yahweh [will be] a refuge for people his and a stronghold for [the] people of Israel.
17 Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Mwen rete sou mòn Siyon, mòn yo mete apa pou mwen an. Jerizalèm va yon lavil apa pou Bondye. Moun lòt nasyon yo p'ap ka pran l' pou yo ankò.
And you will know that I [am] Yahweh God your [who] dwells in Zion [the] mountain of holiness my and it will be Jerusalem a holy place and strangers not they will pass in it again.
18 Jou sa a, mòn yo pral kouvri ak jaden rezen. Bèf pral sou tout ti mòn yo. Va gen kont dlo nan larivyè peyi Jida yo. Yon sous dlo pral koule soti nan kay Seyè a. Li pral wouze bafon zakasya yo.
And it will be on the day that they will drip the mountains sweet wine and the hills they will go milk and all [the] ravines of Judah they will go water and a spring from [the] house of Yahweh it will go forth and it will water [the] wadi of Shittim.
19 Peyi Lejip pral tounen yon savann dezole. Peyi Edon pral tounen yon dezè. Paske, yo te fè moun peyi Jida yo mechanste, yo te touye yon bann inonsan nan peyi yo.
Egypt a desolation it will become and Edom a wilderness of desolation it will become from [the] violence of [the] people of Judah whom they shed blood innocent in land their.
20 -(we vèsè pwochen)
And Judah for ever it will remain and Jerusalem to a generation and a generation.
21 Men, m'a pran revanj moun yo te touye yo. Mwen p'ap fè pa moun ki koupab yo. Men, va gen moun rete nan peyi Jida a ak nan lavil Jerizalèm pou tout tan. Epitou, mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a fè mòn Siyon an tounen kay mwen ankò.
And I will leave unpunished blood their [which] not I left unpunished and Yahweh [is] dwelling in Zion.
