Jowèl 3
1 “Paske gade byen, nan jou sila yo ak nan lè sa a, lè Mwen va restore davni Juda ak Jérusalem,
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 Mwen va rasanble tout nasyon yo pou mennen yo desann nan vale Josaphat la. Epi Mwen va antre la nan jijman avèk yo pou pèp ak eritaj Mwen an, Israël, ke yo te gaye pami nasyon yo. Yo te divize tè 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 epi te voye tiraj osò pou pèp Mwen an. Yo te twoke yon gason pou yon pwostitiye ak yon fi yo vann pou diven, pou yo ta ka bwè.”
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 “Anplis, se kisa ou ye pou Mwen, O Tyr, ak Sidon, ak tout rejyon a Philistine yo? Èske se yon rekonpans ke n ap ban Mwen? Men si Mwen pa jwenn rekonpans byen vit e san delè, Mwen va fè rekonpans nou an retounen sou tèt nou.
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 Akoz nou te pran ajan Mwen ak lò Mwen, e te mennen bagay presye sakre Mwen yo nan tanp nou yo,
That silver my and gold my you took and desirable things my good you took to own temples your.
6 epi nou te vann fis a Juda ak Jérusalem yo bay Grèk yo pou yo ta ka vin rete lwen teritwa yo,
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 gade byen, Mwen va fè yo leve soti nan plas kote nou te vann yo, pou retounen rekonpans nou an sou pwòp tèt nou.
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 Anplis, Mwen va vann fis nou yo ak fi nou yo nan men a fis a Juda yo. Konsa, yo va vann yo bay Sabeyen yo, yon nasyon byen lwen,” paske SENYÈ a fin pale.
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 Pwoklame sa pami nasyon yo: “Prepare nou pou fè lagè! Anime mesye pwisan yo! Kite tout sòlda yo vin pi pre. Kite yo monte kote nou.
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 Bat lam cha pou yo fè epe, ak kwòk rebondaj pou fè lans. Kite moun fèb yo di: ‘Mwen pwisan!’
Beat plowshares your into swords and pruning knives your into spears the weak [man] let him say [am] a warrior I.
11 Fè vit vini, tout nasyon ki ozalantou yo. Rasanble nou ansanm.” Fè desann la, O SENYÈ, moun pwisan Ou yo.
Hurry and come O all the nations from round about and they will gather there bring down O Yahweh warriors your.
12 “Kite nasyon yo leve pwop tèt yo pou vin monte nan vale Josaphat la; paske se la Mwen va chita pou jije tout nasyon ki ozalantou yo.
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 Fè antre boutdigo rekòlt la, paske rekòlt la vin mi. Vin mache foule anba pye, paske pèz diven an vin plen. Chodyè yo ap debòde, paske mechanste yo vin gran.”
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 Gwo foul yo, gwo foul nan vale desizyon an! Paske jou SENYÈ a toupre nan vale desizyon 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 nan va vin tou nwa, e zetwal yo va pèdi briyans yo.
Sun and moon they have become dark and [the] stars they have withdrawn brightness their.
16 Senyè a va gwonde soti nan Sion, e va sone vwa Li soti Jérusalem. Syèl yo ak tè a va tranble, men SENYÈ a se yon refij pou pèp Li a, ak yon sitadèl pou fis Israël 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 Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, ka p viv nan Sion, mòn sen Mwen an. Nan lè sa a Jérusalem va sen, e etranje yo p ap pase ladann 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 Epi nan jou sa a, mòn yo va degoute diven nèf. Nan kolin yo, se lèt ki va koule; tout ravin nan Juda va gen dlo, epi yon sous va sòti lakay SENYÈ a pou awoze vale a Sittim nan.
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 Égypte va vin yon dezè, Edom va vin yon savann dezole, akoz vyolans ki te fèt sou fis Israël yo, akoz yo te vèse san inosan an 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 Men Juda va gen moun ladann jis pou tout tan e Jérusalem de jenerasyon an jenerasyon.
And Judah for ever it will remain and Jerusalem to a generation and a generation.
21 Epi Mwen va vanje san ke M potko vanje yo, paske SENYÈ a rete nan Sion.”
And I will leave unpunished blood their [which] not I left unpunished and Yahweh [is] dwelling in Zion.
