Joel 2
1 Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken pagunienyo ti tangguyob iti nasantoan a bantayko! Agpigerger koma iti buteng dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga, ta umadanin ti aldaw ni Yahweh; pudno nga asidegen daytoy.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD comes, for it is close at hand:
2 Daytoy ket aldaw iti kinasipnget ken kinalidem, aldaw a naulep ken nalulem. Kas iti parbangon nga agsaknap kadagiti bantay, sumungsungaden ti dakkel ken nabileg nga armada. Awan pay ti armada a kas iti daytoy, ken awanton ti kastoy, uray kalpasan iti adu a henerasion.
A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
3 Ikiskisap ti apuy ti amin a banag iti sangoananna, ken adda gil-ayab iti likudan. Ti daga ket kas iti minoyungan ti Eden iti sangoananna, ngem iti likudanna ket adda iti nadadael a let-ang. Pudno, awanto ti makalibas iti daytoy.
A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.
4 Kasla kabalio ti langa ti armada, ken kasla kumakabalio ti panagtarayda.
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and they run as horsemen.
5 Kumaradakad ti panaglagtoda a kasla kadagiti karuahe iti tuktok dagiti bantay, kasla iti uni ti gumilgil-ayab nga apuy a mangikiskisap iti garami, kasla iti nabileg nga armada a nakasagana a makigubat.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.
6 Iti isusungadda, agbuteng dagiti tattao ken pummusyaw dagiti rupada.
At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
7 Ti panagtarayda ket kasla iti nabileg a mannakigubat; kumalay-atda kadagiti pader a kasla kadagiti soldado; agmarmartsada, aggigiddan ti addangda, ken naurnos dagiti linyada.
They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they do not swerve off course.
8 Awan ti agdidinnuron; agmarmartsa ti tunggal maysa iti dalanna; lumasatda kadagiti sarikedked ket saan a madadael ti linyada.
One does not jostle another. They each march in their own path. They burst through the defenses and do not break ranks.
9 Sipapardasda a mangraut iti siudad, tumarayda kadagiti pader, kumalay-atda kadagiti babbalay, ket sumrekda kadagiti tawa a kasla kadagiti agtatakaw.
They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
10 Agkintayeg ti daga iti sangoananda, agpigerger dagiti langit, simmepnget ti init ken bulan, ken saanen nga agraniag dagiti bituen.
The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
11 Binilin ni Yahweh ti armadana, ta nagadu unay dagiti mannakigubatna ken nabilegda, dagiti agtungtungpal kadagiti bilbilinna. Ta kasta unay a nakabutbuteng ti aldaw ni Yahweh. Siasino ngay koma ti makalasat iti daytoy?
The LORD thunders his voice before his army, for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
12 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Ngem uray pay ita, agsublikayo kaniak iti amin a pusoyo. Agayunar, agsangit, ken agladingitkayo.”
“Yet even now,” says the LORD, “turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 Ipakitayo ti sipupuso a panagbabawiyo ken saan laeng nga iti panangray-abyo kadagiti kawesyo, ket agsublikayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Ta naasi ken managparabur isuna, saan a nalaka nga agunget ngem ketdi napnoan iti ayat, ken saannatayo koma a kayat a dusaen.
Tear your heart and not your garments, and turn to the LORD, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
14 Siasino ngay koma ti makaammo? No ngay agbaliw ti pangngeddengna ket maasian isuna, ken mangted isuna kadagiti bendision, daton a bukbukel ken daton a mainum nga agpaay kenni Yahweh a Diosyo?
Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God.
15 Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken agayunarkayo, ket mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong.
Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.
16 Ummongenyo dagiti tattao, mang-angaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong. Ummongenyo dagiti panglakayen, ummongenyo dagiti ubbing, ken dagiti maladaga. Paruarenyo dagiti nobio kadagiti siledda ken paruarenyo dagiti nobia kadagiti siled a pagur-urayanda iti seremonia ti kasar.
Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go out of his room, and the bride out of her chamber.
17 Agsangit koma dagiti papadi nga agserserbi kenni Yahweh iti nagbaetan ti pagserkan ken ti altar. Kunaenda koma, “O Yahweh, kaasiam dagiti tattaom ket saanmo nga ipalubos a maibabain dagiti tattaom a maiyarig a tawidmo, ket iturayan ida dagiti nasion. Apay nga ibaga dagiti nasion, ayanna ngayen ti Diosda?''
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, and do not give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
18 Kalpasanna, impakita ni Yahweh ti panangipategna iti dagana ket kinaasianna dagiti tattaona.
Then the LORD was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
19 Insungbat ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona: “Adtoy, ikkankayo kadagiti bukel, baro nga arak, ken lana. Mapnekkayonto kadagitoy, ken saankonton nga itulok a maibabainkayo kadagiti nasion.
The LORD answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
20 Ipanawkonto kadakayo dagiti mangdarup a naggapu iti amianan, ket iturongko ida iti namaga ken langalang a daga. Agturong dagiti akin-sango nga armadada iti baybay iti daya, ken ti akinlikud nga armada iti baybay iti laud. Umalingasawdanto ken sumngawto dagiti bangsitda. Agaramidakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things.
21 Saanka nga agbuteng, daga, agragsak ken agrag-oka, ta nagaramid ni Yahweh kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
Land, do not be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things.
22 Saankayo nga agbuteng, dakayo nga atap nga ay-ayup iti tay-ak, ta agtubonto dagiti ruruot iti pagaraban kadagiti let-ang, agbunganto dagiti kaykayo, ket umadunto ti apit kadagiti igos ken ubas.
Do not be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Agragsakayo, tattao ti Sion, ken agrag-okayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Ta pagtuduennanto iti umno a tiempo ket agbayakabak ti tudo para kadakayo, ti tudo iti tiempo ti panagrurusing ken tiempo ti panagregreg iti bulong a kas idi damo.
“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.
24 Mapnonto iti trigo dagiti pagirikan, ken aglippiasto dagiti pagkargaan iti baro nga arak ken lana.
The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
25 “Isublikto kadakayo dagiti mula nga inay-aywananyo iti adu a tawen a kinnan dagiti nagsasaruno a pangen dagiti dudon, ti nabileg nga armadak nga imbaonko kadakayo.
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
26 Mangankayonto iti adu ket mabsogkayo, ken dayawenyo ti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosyo a nagaramid kadagiti nakaskasdaaw kadakayo. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and will praise the name of the LORD, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.
27 Maammoanyonto nga addaak iti Israel, ket Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken awanen ti sabali. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
You will know that I am among Israel, and that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.
28 Iti mabiit, ibukbukkonto ti Espirituk kadagiti amin a lasag, ket agipadtonto dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai. Agtagtagainepto dagiti panglakayenyo, makakitanto iti sirmata dagiti agtutuboyo a lallaki.
“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.
29 Kadagidiay nga aldaw, ibukbukkonto met ti Espirituk kadagiti adipen a lallaki ken babbai.
And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.
30 Mangipakitaakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw iti langit ken iti daga, dara, apuy ken dagiti adigi nga asuk.
I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 Sumipngetto ti init ken lumabbaganto ti bulan a kasla iti dara, sakbay a dumteng ti nakabutbuteng unay nga aldaw ni Yahweh.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
32 Iti dayta a tiempo, maisalakanto dagiti amin nga umawag iti nagan ni Yahweh. Ta addanto dagiti makalasat idiay Bantay Sion ken idiay Jerusalem, a kas imbaga ni Yahweh, ket makalasatto dagiti pinili ni Yahweh.
It will happen that whoever will call on the LORD’s name shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.
