< Joel 3 >

1 Pagammoan, iti dayta met laeng a tiempo, inton isublik idiay Juda ken Jerusalem dagiti naitalaw a tattao,
For behold, in those days and at that time, When I shall bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 ummongekto dagiti amin a nasion, ket paapanek ida iti tanap ni Jehosafat. Ukomekto ida sadiay gapu kadagiti tattaok ken iti tawidko nga Israel nga inwarawarasda kadagiti nasion, ken gapu ta biningay-bingayda ti dagak.
I will assemble all the nations, And will bring them down it to the valley of Jehoshaphat, And there will I contend with them for my people and inheritance, Israel; Because they scattered them among the nations, And divided my land among themselves.
3 Pinagbibinnunotanda dagiti tattaok, insukatda dagiti lallaki kadagiti balangkantis, ken naglakoda iti babai a kasukat ti arak tapno makainumda.
Yea, they cast lots for my people, And gave a boy for a harlot, And sold a damsel for wine to drink.
4 Ita, apay a kaungetdak, Tiro, Sidon, ken amin a rehion ti Filistia? Balsendak kadi? Urayno balsendak, ipalak-amkonto a dagus kadakayo ti panangibalesyo.
What have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all the borders of Philistia? Will ye retaliate on me? Or will ye do anything against me? Swiftly and speedily will I bring back your doings upon your own head.
5 Ta innalayo ti pirak ken balitokko, ket impanyo dagiti napapateg a gamengko kadagiti temployo.
Ye have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried into your palaces my precious, goodly things;
6 Inlakoyo dagiti tattao ti Juda ken Jerusalem kadagiti Griego, tapno maipanawda kadagiti dagada.
The sons also of Judah, and the sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the Grecians, That ye might remove them far from their border.
7 Ngem kitaenyo, dandanik idan ipanaw kadagiti lugar a nangilakoanyo kadakuada, ket supapakankayonto iti maiparbeng kadakayo.
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, And I will return your injury upon your own head;
8 Ilakokto dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai kadagiti ima dagiti tattao ti Juda. Ilakodanto ida kadagiti taga-Saba, iti adayo a nasion. Ta ni Yahweh ti nagsao iti daytoy.
I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation afar off; For Jehovah hath spoken it.
9 Iwaragawagyo daytoy kadagiti nasion: 'Agsaganakayo a makigubat, ummongenyo dagiti nabileg a lallaki, paasitgenyo ida, pagpuestoenyo dagiti amin a mannakigubat.
Proclaim ye this among the nations: “Prepare war! Stir up the mighty ones! Let all the warriors draw near; let them come up!”
10 Pitpitenyo dagiti aradoyo tapno agbalin a kampilan ken dagiti kumpayyo tapno agbalin a gayang. Kunaen koma dagiti nakapuy, “Napigsaak.”
Beat your ploughshares into swords, And your pruning-hooks into spears; Let the weak say, I am strong!
11 Darasenyo ti umay, dakayo amin a kabangibang a nasion, aguummongkayo.' O Yahweh, paapanem sadiay dagiti nabileg a mannakigubatmo.
Assemble yourselves and come, all ye nations round about; Gather yourselves together! Thither, O Jehovah, bring down thy mighty ones!
12 Agriing koma dagiti nasion ket mapanda idiay tanap ni Jehosafat. Ta agtugawakto sadiay a mangukom kadagiti amin a kabangibang a nasion.
Let the nations rise and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat! For there will I sit to judge all the nations around.
13 Alaenyo dagiti kumpay, ta naluomen ti apit. Umaykayo, pespesenyo dagiti ubas, ta napnon ti pagpespesan ti ubas, agluplupias dagiti pagkargaan, ta kasta unay ti kinadangkesda.”
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; Come and tread, for the wine-press is full; The vats overflow; For their wickedness is great!
14 Adda iti ariwawa, ariwawa idiay tanap ti Panangukom. Ta asidegen ti aldaw ni Yahweh iti tanap ti Panangukom.
The multitudes, the multitudes in the valley of judgment! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of judgment.
15 Sumipnget ti init ken bulan, saanen nga agraniag dagiti bituen.
The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining.
16 Agpukkawto ni Yahweh manipud Sion, ken ipigsananto ti timekna idiay Jerusalem. Agkintayegto ti langit ken daga, ngem agbalinto ni Yahweh a kamang dagiti tattaona, ken sarikedked dagiti tattao ti Israel.
Jehovah also will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and the earth shall shake. But Jehovah will be a refuge to his people! A strong-hold to the sons of Israel.
17 “Ket maammoanyonto a siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, nga agnanaed idiay Sion, ti nasantoan a bantayko. Kalpasanna, agbalinto a nasantoan ti Jerusalem, ken awanto ti armada a mangparmek manen kenkuana.
Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; And Jerusalem shall be holy; Strangers shall pass through her no more.
18 Iti dayta nga aldaw, agtedtedto ti nasam-it nga arak kadagiti kabanbantayan, agayusto iti gatas kadagiti turturod, agayusto iti danum kadagiti amin a waig ti Juda, ken agtaudto ti burayok iti balay ni Yahweh ket padanumannanto ti tanap ti Acacia.
In that day shall the mountains drop down new wine, And the hills shall flow with milk. And all the streams of Judah shall flow with water. A fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, That shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Agbalinto a langalang ti Egipto, ken agbalinto a disierto ti Edom, gapu iti kinaranggas nga inaramidda kadagiti tattao ti Juda, gapu ta pinapatayda dagiti inosente a tattao idiay daga dagiti tattao ti Juda.
Egypt shall be a waste, And Edom a desolate wilderness, For their violence against the sons of Judah; For they shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Ngem agbiagto ti Juda iti agnanayon, ken agbiagto ti Jerusalem iti tunggal henerasion.
But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Ibaleskonto ti pannakatayda a saanko pay a naibales,” ta agnanaed ni Yahweh idiay Sion.
And I will avenge their blood, which I have not avenged, And Jehovah will dwell upon Zion.
