Joel 3
1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “In pacl sac, nga fah folokonak Ma wo puspis lun Judah ac Jerusalem.
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I will cause to return the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 Nga fah eisani mutunfacl nukewa Ac usalosme nu Infahlfal lun Nununku. Ingo nga fah nununkalos Ke ma nukewa elos tuh oru nu sin mwet luk. Elos akfahsryelik mwet Israel nu in mutunfacl saya, Ac kitalik Israel, facl sik.
Then will I assemble all the nations, and I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will hold judgment with them there because of my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and for my land [which] they have divided out.
3 Elos susfa in konauk lah Mutunfacl su ac eis mwet sruoh. Elos moli mutan kosro ke tulik mukul, Ac moli wain ke tulik mutan.
And for my people did they cast lots; and gave a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and drank it.
4 “Tyre, Sidon, ac Philistia nufon, mea kowos srike in oru nu sik uh? Ya kowos srike in folokin molin ma se nu sik? Fin pwaye, nga ac sa na folokonot!
And also ye, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all ye districts of Philistia? is this the recompense which ye repay me? or do ye only commence to render me evil?— swiftly and speedily will I bring back your recompense upon your own head;
5 Kowos eisla silver ac gold luk, ac usla mwe kasrup luk nu in tempul lowos.
Because my silver and my gold have ye taken, and the handsomest of my precious things have ye carried into your temples;
6 Kowos usla mwet Judah ac Jerusalem loesla liki facl selos sifacna, ac kukakunulosyang nu sin mwet Greek.
And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Jevanim, in order to remove them far from their borders.
7 Inge nga fah usalosme liki acn nukewa ma kowos kukakunulosla nu we. Nga ac oru nu suwos oana ke kowos tuh oru nu selos.
Behold, I will awaken them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will bring back your recompense upon your own head;
8 Nga fah oru tuh mwet Judah in moli wen nutuwos ac acn nutuwos, ac elos ac fah kukakunulosla nu sin mwet Sabean, sie acn oan loessula. Nga, LEUM GOD, fahk ouinge.
And I will deliver your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off; for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 “Kowos in fahkelik kas inge inmasrlon mutunfacl uh: ‘Akola nu ke mweun. Solani mwet ku nukewa; Usani mwet mweun lowos ac takla fahsrot.
Proclaim ye this among the nations, Prepare war, wake up the mighty men; let them draw near; let them come up—all the men of war.
10 Tamla mutun osra in pukpuk nutuwos an nu ke cutlass, Ac mitmit nutuwos an nu ke osra in mweun. Finne mwet munas, elos in wi pac mweun.
Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears: let the weak say, I am a hero.
11 Mutunfacl nukewa su raunikutla, Kowos sulaklak fahsru, Ac tukeni nu ke infahlfal uh.’” O LEUM GOD, supwama un mwet mweun lom in wi lainulos.
Assemble hastily together, and come, all ye nations from every side, and gather yourselves together: there doth the Lord strike down thy mighty ones.
12 “Mutunfacl nukewa enenu in akola Ac tuku nu Infahlfal lun Nununku. Ingo, nga LEUM GOD ac fah nununku Mutunfacl ingan nukewa.
Let the nations awake, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations from every side.
13 Elos arulana koluk; Pakelosla oana wheat Ke pacl in kosrani. Futfutungya oana kowos futungya grape uh In nien fut wain, Nwe ke sessesla kahk.”
Put forth the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread down [the grapes]; for the press is full; the vats overflow; for great is their wickedness.
14 Tausin nu ke tausin mwet Oasr Infahlfal lun Nununku. Acn we pa len lun LEUM GOD Fah sa tuku.
Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision; for near is the day of the Lord in the valley of decision.
15 Faht ac malem lohsrlosrani, Ac itu uh tila saromrom.
Sun and moon are obscured, and stars withdraw their brightness.
16 LEUM GOD El ngutngut Fineol Zion me; Pusracl ngirngir Jerusalem me, oana pusren pulahl; Faclu ac inkusrao kusrusr, Tusruktu, El fah loangela mwet lal.
And the Lord will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and the heavens and the earth shall quake; but the Lord will be a refuge for his people, and a stronghold for the children of Israel.
17 “Na kowos mwet Israel, fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD lowos. Nga muta Zion, inging mutal sik. Jerusalem fah sie siti mutal. Mwet sac fah tiana sifil kutangulla.
So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mount: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her any more.
18 In pacl sac, ima in grape ac fah afunla fineol uh, Ac cow uh fah osralik fin inging nukewa: Infacl nukewa in Judah fah sessesla ke kof. Sie unon in kof ac fah sororla liki Tempul lun LEUM GOD, Ac aksroksrokye Infahlfal Acacia.
And it came to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the ravines of Judah shall flow with water; and a spring shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 “Egypt ac fah ekla sie acn mwesis, Ac Edom sie acn sikiyukla, Mweyen elos tuh mweuni acn lun Judah Ac onela mwet we finne wangin mwatalos.
Egypt shall become a desolate land, and Edom shall become a desolate wilderness; because of the violence against the children of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 Tusruktu, ac fah oasr na mwet muta Judah ac Jerusalem nwe tok.
But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Nga fah foloksak kaclos su anwuki; Nga fah kai mwet ma onelosla. Ac nga, LEUM GOD, fah muta Fineol Zion.”
And I will avenge their blood that I have not yet avenged; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
