< Joel 3 >

1 Pagammoan, iti dayta met laeng a tiempo, inton isublik idiay Juda ken Jerusalem dagiti naitalaw a tattao,
For, in those days and in that time, when I bring back again the captivity 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 also gather all the nations and bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and there I will enter into judgment with them for my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land.
3 Pinagbibinnunotanda dagiti tattaok, insukatda dagiti lallaki kadagiti balangkantis, ken naglakoda iti babai a kasukat ti arak tapno makainumda.
They have cast lots for my people. They have traded boys for prostitutes, and sold girls for wine, and drunk it.
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 are you to me, Tyre and Sidon and all the districts of Philistia? Were you repaying any deed of mine, or were you doing something for me? Quickly will I return your deed upon your heads.
5 Ta innalayo ti pirak ken balitokko, ket impanyo dagiti napapateg a gamengko kadagiti temployo.
You who have taken my silver and my gold, and you have brought my goodly jewels into your palaces,
6 Inlakoyo dagiti tattao ti Juda ken Jerusalem kadagiti Griego, tapno maipanawda kadagiti dagada.
you have sold the people of Judah and of Jerusalem to the Greeks, so that you might remove them far from their own borders.
7 Ngem kitaenyo, dandanik idan ipanaw kadagiti lugar a nangilakoanyo kadakuada, ket supapakankayonto iti maiparbeng kadakayo.
I am about to stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will turn your deeds 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 hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off, for the Lord has spoken.
9 Iwaragawagyo daytoy kadagiti nasion: 'Agsaganakayo a makigubat, ummongenyo dagiti nabileg a lallaki, paasitgenyo ida, pagpuestoenyo dagiti amin a mannakigubat.
Proclaim this among the nations, sanctify war. Arouse the warriors, let all the fighting men muster and go 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 lances; let the weak say, I, indeed, am strong.
11 Darasenyo ti umay, dakayo amin a kabangibang a nasion, aguummongkayo.' O Yahweh, paapanem sadiay dagiti nabileg a mannakigubatmo.
Bestir yourselves and come, all you nations round about. Quickly gather yourselves together, ask the Lord to bring his warriors.
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 rouse themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
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 in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; go in, tread, for the wine press is full. The vats overflow, for great is their wickedness.
14 Adda iti ariwawa, ariwawa idiay tanap ti Panangukom. Ta asidegen ti aldaw ni Yahweh iti tanap ti Panangukom.
Noisy multitudes, noisy multitudes in the valley of decision. For near is the Lord’s day in the valley of decision!
15 Sumipnget ti init ken bulan, saanen nga agraniag dagiti bituen.
Sun and moon have turned dark, and the stars withdrawn 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.
Whenever the Lord roars from Zion and utters his voice from Jerusalem, earth and sky quake; but the Lord is a refuge to his people, and a fortress to the people 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.
And you will know that I am the Lord your God, I who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain, and Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will not pass through her any 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, the mountains will drop sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the channels of Judah will flow with water, a fountain will spring from the house of Judah, and will 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 will become a desolation, and Edom a wilderness, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land,
20 Ngem agbiagto ti Juda iti agnanayon, ken agbiagto ti Jerusalem iti tunggal henerasion.
Judah will remain inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Ibaleskonto ti pannakatayda a saanko pay a naibales,” ta agnanaed ni Yahweh idiay Sion.
I will avenge their blood which I have not yet avenged. The Lord lives in Zion!
