< 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 Jehovah cometh, for it is 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 gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains; — a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and 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 devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them.
4 Kasla kabalio ti langa ti armada, ken kasla kumakabalio ti panagtarayda.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.
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 devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Iti isusungadda, agbuteng dagiti tattao ken pummusyaw dagiti rupada.
Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn 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 men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and break not their ranks.
8 Awan ti agdidinnuron; agmarmartsa ti tunggal maysa iti dalanna; lumasatda kadagiti sarikedked ket saan a madadael ti linyada.
Neither doth one press upon another; they march every one in his path; and fall amid weapons, but are not wounded.
9 Sipapardasda a mangraut iti siudad, tumarayda kadagiti pader, kumalay-atda kadagiti babbalay, ket sumrekda kadagiti tawa a kasla kadagiti agtatakaw.
They spread themselves over the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by the windows like a thief.
10 Agkintayeg ti daga iti sangoananda, agpigerger dagiti langit, simmepnget ti init ken bulan, ken saanen nga agraniag dagiti bituen.
The earth quaketh 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?
And Jehovah uttereth his voice before his army; for his camp is very great; for strong is he that executeth his word: for the day of Jehovah is great and very terrible; and who can bear it?
12 Kuna ni Yahweh, “Ngem uray pay ita, agsublikayo kaniak iti amin a pusoyo. Agayunar, agsangit, ken agladingitkayo.”
Yet even now, saith Jehovah, 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.
and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
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 knoweth? He might return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, an oblation and a drink-offering for Jehovah your God?
15 Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken agayunarkayo, ket mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong.
Blow the trumpet in Zion, hallow a fast, proclaim 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, hallow the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride from her closet.
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 Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare, O Jehovah, thy people, and give not thine inheritance to reproach, that they should be a byword of the nations. Wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
18 Kalpasanna, impakita ni Yahweh ti panangipategna iti dagana ket kinaasianna dagiti tattaona.
Then Jehovah will be jealous for his land, and will have 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.
And Jehovah will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I send you corn, and new wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; 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.
And I will remove far off from you him [that cometh] from the north, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, his face toward the eastern sea, and his rear toward the hinder sea; and his stench shall come up, and his ill odour shall come up, for he hath exalted himself to do great things.
21 Saanka nga agbuteng, daga, agragsak ken agrag-oka, ta nagaramid ni Yahweh kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
— Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for Jehovah doeth 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.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring; for the tree beareth its fruit; the fig-tree and the vine yield full increase.
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.
And ye, children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the early rain in due measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the early rain, and the latter rain at the beginning [of the season].
24 Mapnonto iti trigo dagiti pagirikan, ken aglippiasto dagiti pagkargaan iti baro nga arak ken lana.
And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall 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.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, 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.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Jehovah your God, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27 Maammoanyonto nga addaak iti Israel, ket Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken awanen ti sabali. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, Jehovah, [am] your God, and there is none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
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.
And it shall come to pass afterwards [that] I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
29 Kadagidiay nga aldaw, ibukbukkonto met ti Espirituk kadagiti adipen a lallaki ken babbai.
Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
30 Mangipakitaakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw iti langit ken iti daga, dara, apuy ken dagiti adigi nga asuk.
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, and 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 shall be changed to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come.
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.
And it shall be that whosoever shall call upon the name of Jehovah shall be saved: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah hath said, and for the residue whom Jehovah shall call.
