Joel 3

1 LEUM GOD El fahk, “In pacl sac, nga fah folokonak Ma wo puspis lun Judah ac Jerusalem.

For, in those days and in that time, when I bring back again 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.

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 Elos susfa in konauk lah Mutunfacl su ac eis mwet sruoh. Elos moli mutan kosro ke tulik mukul, Ac moli wain ke tulik mutan.

They have cast lots for my people. They have traded boys for prostitutes, and sold girls for wine, and drunk 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!

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 Kowos eisla silver ac gold luk, ac usla mwe kasrup luk nu in tempul lowos.

You who have taken my silver and my gold, and you have brought my goodly jewels into your palaces,

6 Kowos usla mwet Judah ac Jerusalem loesla liki facl selos sifacna, ac kukakunulosyang nu sin mwet Greek.

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 Inge nga fah usalosme liki acn nukewa ma kowos kukakunulosla nu we. Nga ac oru nu suwos oana ke kowos tuh oru nu selos.

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 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.

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 “Kowos in fahkelik kas inge inmasrlon mutunfacl uh: ‘Akola nu ke mweun. Solani mwet ku nukewa; Usani mwet mweun lowos ac takla fahsrot.

Proclaim this among the nations, sanctify war. Arouse the warriors, let all the fighting men muster and go up.

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 ploughshares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into lances; let the weak say, I, indeed, am strong.

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.

Bestir yourselves and come, all you nations round about. Quickly gather yourselves together, ask the Lord to bring his warriors.

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 rouse themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

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 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 Tausin nu ke tausin mwet Oasr Infahlfal lun Nununku. Acn we pa len lun LEUM GOD Fah sa tuku.

Noisy multitudes, noisy multitudes in the valley of decision. For near is the Lord’s day in the valley of decision!

15 Faht ac malem lohsrlosrani, Ac itu uh tila saromrom.

Sun and moon have turned dark, and the stars withdrawn their shining.

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.

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 “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.

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 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.

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 “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 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 Tusruktu, ac fah oasr na mwet muta Judah ac Jerusalem nwe tok.

Judah will remain inhabited forever, 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.”

I will avenge their blood which I have not yet avenged. The Lord lives in Zion!
