1 Hagi ama nanekea Ra Anumzamo'a Petueli ne'mofo Joeli asami'nea naneke.
This is the word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel:
2 Hagi ranra vahe'mota ama nanekea nentahinkeno, ama mopafima mani'naza vahe'motmanena ama ana nanekea antahiho. Tamagri knafine tamagehe'i knafinena, amanahu zana fore hu'neaza fore nehifi?
Hear this, O elders; and give ear, all who dwell in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your fathers?
3 Hagi tamagra ama ana nanekea mofavre'tamimofo zamasaminke'za, zamagra mofavre'zmia zamasami anante anante hu'za viho.
Tell it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
4 Hagi tra'zama akafri'za nenaza kenumo'zama nege'zama atrazama'a, magopima manumanu hu'za hare'za vanoma nehaza kenumo'za nazageno, zamagrama nege'za atrazama'a takaure takaure'ma hu'zama vano nehaza kenumo'za nazageno, atrazama'a ana maka zama vatri'zama nehana'ma nehaza kenutmimo'za ne'za erihana hu'naze.
What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
5 Hagi aka tima neta neginagima nehaza vahe'mota otitma tamasunku hutma zavi krafa hiho. Na'ankure haganentake waini timo'a vagarenigeta mago'anena onegahaze.
Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth.
6 Hagi tusi'a hanavenentake huno hampriga osu kenutmimo'za, sondia vahe'mo'za hate vazankna hu'za nagri mopafina mani vite'naze. Hagi ana kenutamimofona zamavemo'a a' laionimofo avekna hu'ne.
For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its fangs are the fangs of a lioness.
7 Ana hu'neankino waini hozani'a ne'za eri haviza nehu'za, fiki zafani'aramina ani anagazape atrere hu'naze. Ana nehu'za ana zafa akrutamina tavrofetre vagarazageno azankuna'aramimo'a efeke huvagare'ne.
It has laid waste My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off the bark and thrown it away; the branches have turned white.
8 Hagi tamagra mago mofa'mo ve erinaku hu'nea vemo frigeno, kento kukena hu'neno, nevenku zavi krafa hiankna huta zavira ateho.
Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth, grieving for the husband of her youth.
9 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima ofama hu witine waininena omanegahie. E'ina hanige'za Ra Anumzamofo eri'zama eneriza pristi vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa hugahaze.
Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD.
10 Hagi hozamo'a haviza higeno, mopamo'a hagege higeno, witi ragamo'a ome haviza higeno, wainimo'a hagege higeno, olivi masavema eneriza zafamo'enena hagege hu'ne.
The field is ruined; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.
11 Hagi hozama erita nentaza vahe'mota tamagazegu hiho. Grepi hozafima eri'zama eneriza vahe'mota zavi krafa hiho. Na'ankure witine balimo'enena hozafina nena'a reontegeno hozamo'enena hagege hu'ne.
Be dismayed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 Hagi waini nofimo'a hagege higeno, fiki zafama, pomigreneti zafama, deti zafama, epoli zafamo'zanena hagege hu'naze. Ana maka zafaramimo'a hagege higeno, vahe'mo'zama musema nehaza zamo'a vagare'ne.
The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple— all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
13 Hagi pristi vahe'ma kre sramana vu itare'ma eri'zama eneriza vahe'mota tamasunku kukena hunetma zavi krafagea hiho. Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'mota tamasunku kukena hunetma kenage'enena maniho. Na'ankure tamagri Anumzamofo mono nompima ofama huntesaza wainine witinena omanegahie.
Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, because the grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Hagi ke omente emente huta vahera ke hutru huta ne'zana a'o hutma nunamu hiho. Ranra vahetamina ke hutru huta, mika ama mopafima nemaniza vahera zamavareta Ra Anumzana tamagri Anumzamofo ra mono nompi marerita, Ra Anumzamofontega rankea huta kezatiho.
Consecrate a fast; proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
15 Knare osu kna fore hugahianki, kva hiho! Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma knazama tami'sania knamo'a, hago kofta nehie. Ana knazamo'a Hihamu Hankave'ane Anumzamofontegati egahie.
Alas for the day! For the Day of the LORD is near, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
16 Hagi tagra'a tavufinti negonkeno nezantimo'a vaganeregeno, musenkasema huta Anumzantimofo mono nompima mono'ma hunentona zamo'a vagare'ne.
Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 Hanki mopafima hankre'naza avimzamo'a, hagege huno nefrigeno, nezama vasagente nomo'a haviza nehanigeno, witima vasagente nomo'a haviza huno frugu vaziramine. Na'ankure witimo'a hagege huno haviza hu'ne.
The seeds lie shriveled beneath the clods; the storehouses are in ruins; the granaries are broken down, for the grain has withered away.
18 Hagi bulimakao afutamimo'za ne'zankura krafa nehu'za, ne'zama nesaza zankura hake'za vano nehazageno, sipisipi afu kevumo'zanena ne'zama nesnaza tra'zana omanege'za tusi zamagaku hu'naze.
How the cattle groan! The herds wander in confusion because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19 Ra Anumzamokarega nagra nunamuna nehue. Na'ankure sipisipi afu'mo'zama nenaza trazana afeteno erihana nehuno, mika zafanena terasage vagare'ne.
To You, O LORD, I call, for fire has consumed the open pastures and flames have scorched all the trees of the field.
20 Hagi afi zagagafa'moza tima nesaza zankura tusiza nehu'za Kagritega krafa nehaze. Na'ankure ana miko timo'a tane vagaregeno, maka avo'nona afe tevemo teno erihana hu'ne.
Even the beasts of the field pant for You, for the streams of water have dried up, and fire has consumed the open pastures.
