Yoel 1
1 Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Yoel bin Petuel.
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Joel son of Pethuel.
2 Dengarlah ini, hai para tua-tua, pasanglah telinga, hai seluruh penduduk negeri! Pernahkah terjadi seperti ini dalam zamanmu, atau dalam zaman nenek moyangmu?
Hear this, you elders, and listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days or in the days of your ancestors?
3 Ceritakanlah tentang itu kepada anak-anakmu, dan biarlah anak-anakmu menceritakannya kepada anak-anak mereka, dan anak-anak mereka kepada angkatan yang kemudian.
Tell your children about it, and let your children tell their children, and their children the next generation.
4 Apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pengerip telah dimakan belalang pindahan, apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pindahan telah dimakan belalang pelompat, dan apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pelompat telah dimakan belalang pelahap.
What the swarming locust has left the great locust has eaten; what the great locust has left the grasshopper has eaten; and what the grasshopper has left the caterpillar has eaten.
5 Bangunlah, hai pemabuk, dan menangislah! Merataplah, hai semua peminum anggur karena anggur baru, sebab sudah dirampas dari mulutmu anggur itu!
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because the sweet wine has been cut off from you.
6 Sebab maju menyerang negeriku suatu bangsa yang kuat dan tidak terbilang banyaknya; giginya bagaikan gigi singa, dan taringnya bagaikan taring singa betina.
For a nation has come up upon my land, strong and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the teeth of a lioness.
7 Telah dibuatnya pohon anggurku menjadi musnah, dan pohon araku menjadi buntung; dikelupasnya kulitnya sama sekali dan dilemparkannya, sehingga carang-carangnya menjadi putih.
He has made my vineyard into a desolate place and has stripped my fig tree bare. He has stripped its bark and thrown it away; the branches are bare white.
8 Merataplah seperti anak dara yang berlilitkan kain kabung karena mempelai, kekasih masa mudanya.
Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackcloth for the death of her young husband.
9 Korban sajian dan korban curahan sudah lenyap dari rumah TUHAN; dan berkabunglah para imam, yakni pelayan-pelayan TUHAN.
The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off from Yahweh's house. The priests, Yahweh's servants, mourn.
10 Ladang sudah musnah, tanah berkabung, sebab gandum sudah musnah, buah anggur sudah kering, minyak sudah menipis.
The fields are ruined, the ground is mourning because the grain has been destroyed. The new wine has dried up, the oil fails.
11 Para petani menjadi malu, tukang-tukang kebun anggur meratap karena gandum dan karena jelai, sebab sudah musnah panen ladang.
Be ashamed, you farmers, and wail, you vine growers, for the wheat and the barley. For the harvest of the fields has perished.
12 Pohon anggur sudah kering dan pohon ara sudah merana; pohon delima, juga pohon korma dan pohon apel, segala pohon di padang sudah mengering. Sungguh, kegirangan melayu dari antara anak-anak manusia.
The vines have withered and the fig trees have dried up, the pomegranate trees, also the palm trees, and the apple trees— all the trees of the field have withered. For joy has withered away from the descendants of mankind.
13 Lilitkanlah kain kabung dan mengeluhlah, hai para imam; merataplah, hai para pelayan mezbah; masuklah, bermalamlah dengan memakai kain kabung, hai para pelayan Allahku, sebab sudah ditahan dari rumah Allahmu, korban sajian dan korban curahan.
Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you servants of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you servants of my God. For the grain offering and the drink offering have been withheld from the house of your God.
14 Adakanlah puasa yang kudus, maklumkanlah perkumpulan raya; kumpulkanlah para tua-tua dan seluruh penduduk negeri ke rumah TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berteriaklah kepada TUHAN.
Call for a holy fast, and call a holy assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Yahweh your God, and cry to Yahweh.
15 Wahai, hari itu! Sungguh, hari TUHAN sudah dekat, datangnya sebagai pemusnahan dari Yang Mahakuasa.
Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is almost here. With it will come destruction from the Almighty.
16 Bukankah di depan mata kita sudah lenyap makanan, sukaria dan sorak-sorai dari rumah Allah kita?
Has not food been cut off from before our eyes, and joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 Biji-bijian menjadi kering di dalam tanah, lumbung-lumbung sudah licin tandas, rengkiang-rengkiang sudah runtuh, sebab gandum sudah habis.
The seeds rot under their clods, the granaries are desolate, and the barns have been broken down, for the grain has withered.
18 Betapa mengeluhnya hewan dan gempar kawanan-kawanan lembu, sebab tidak ada lagi padang rumput baginya; juga kawanan kambing domba terkejut.
How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are suffering because they have no pasture. Also, the flocks of sheep suffer.
19 Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, sebab api telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun, dan nyala api telah menghanguskan segala pohon di padang.
Yahweh, I cry to you. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flames have burned all the trees of the fields.
20 Juga binatang-binatang di padang menjerit karena rindu kepada-Mu, sebab wadi telah kering, dan apipun telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun.
Even the animals of the fields pant for you, for the water brooks have dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
