Joēla 2
1 Bazūnējiet ar bazūni Ciānā, un lai skan stipri Manā svētā kalnā; lai visi zemes iedzīvotāji dreb, jo Tā Kunga diena nāk, jo tā ir tuvu:
Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;
2 Melna un tumša diena, apmākusies un miglaina diena. Kā rīta blāzma izplešas pār kalniem, tā liela un varena tauta, kāda nemūžam nav bijusi un pēc vairs nemūžam nebūs uz radu radiem.
For a day of dark and deep shade is near, a day of cloud and black night: like a black cloud a great and strong people is covering the mountains; there has never been any like them and will not be after them again, from generation to generation.
3 Viņas priekšā rij uguns, un viņai nopakaļ deg liesma; zeme viņas priekšā ir kā Ēdenes dārzs, bet aiz viņas tukša posta vieta; neviens no tās nevar izbēgt.
Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.
4 Viņu ģīmis ir kā zirgu ģīmis, un kā jātnieki, tāpat viņi skrien.
Their form is like the form of horses, and they are running like war-horses.
5 Tie atlec pa kalnu virsgaliem, kā rati rīb, kā uguns liesma sprēgā, kas rugājus aprij, kā varena tauta, kas apbruņota uz karu.
Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.
6 Viņu ieraudzīdami, ļaudis iztrūcinājās, visu vaigu sārtums nobāl.
At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.
7 Tie skrien kā varoņi, kā kara vīri tie uzkāpj uz mūriem; un tie ikviens iet pa savu ceļu un neatkāpjās no savas tekas.
They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.
8 Tie nespiež viens otru, ikviens staigā savā kārtā, un jebšu krīt kara ieročos, tomēr tie netop aizturēti.
No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.
9 Tie staigā pa pilsētu, tie skrien pa mūriem, tie iekāpj namos, tie nāk caur logiem iekšā kā zaglis.
They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.
10 Viņas priekšā dreb zeme, debess trīc, saule un mēnesis aptumšojās, un zvaigznes ierauj savu spožumu.
The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:
11 Un Tas Kungs paceļ Savu balsi Sava karaspēka priekšā, jo Viņa lēģeris ir varen liels, jo varens ir Viņa vārda izdarītājs, jo Tā Kunga diena ir liela un ļoti briesmīga, - kas to var panest?
And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?
12 Bet arī tagad Tas Kungs saka: atgriežaties pie Manis ar visu savu sirdi, un ar gavēšanu un ar raudāšanu un ar nožēlošanu.
But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:
13 Un saplēšat savas sirdis un ne savas drēbes, un atgriežaties pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, jo viņš ir laipnīgs un sirdsžēlīgs, lēnprātīgs un no lielas žēlastības, un viņam ir žēl par to postu.
Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.
14 Kas zin, varbūt ka Viņš atgriezīsies, un Viņam būs žēl, un atstās svētību aiz Sevis, ēdamu upuri un dzeramu upuri priekš Tā Kunga, jūsu Dieva!
May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
15 Bazūnējiet ar bazūni Ciānā, svētījiet gavēni, izsauciet sapulces dienu.
Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:
16 Sapulcinājiet ļaudis, svētījiet draudzi, sapulcinājiet vecajus, sasauciet bērniņus un zīdāmos pie krūtīm. Lai brūtgāns iet no sava kambara un brūte no savas vietas.
Get the people together, make the mass of the people holy, send for the old men, get together the children and babies at the breast: let the newly married man come out of his room and the bride from her tent.
17 Starp priekšnamu un altāri lai raud priesteri, Tā Kunga sulaiņi, un lai saka: ak Kungs, žēlo Savus ļaudis un nenodod Savu mantību par nievāšanu, ka pagāni tos neapsmej! Kādēļ starp tautām būs sacīt: kur viņu Dievs?
Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
18 Tad Tas Kungs iekarsa Savas zemes pēc un saudzēja Savus ļaudis.
Then the Lord had a care for the honour of his land and had pity on his people.
19 Un Tas Kungs atbildēja un sacīja uz Saviem ļaudīm: redzi, Es jums sūtīšu labību un vīnu un eļļu, ka jūs ar to topat pieēdināti, un Es jūs vairs nenodošu par nievāšanu starp pagāniem.
And the Lord made answer and said to his people, See, I will send you grain and wine and oil in full measure: and I will no longer let you be shamed among the nations:
20 Un Es atstādināšu tālu no jums to ziemeļnieku un to aizdzīšu sakaltušā un tukšā zemē, viņa priekšējus(pulkus) rīta jūrā un viņa pakaļējus(pulkus) vakara jūrā. Un viņa smarža kāps uz augšu, un viņa smirdums uzcelsies, jo viņš lielījās savos darbos.
I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.
21 Nebīsties, zeme! Priecājies un esi līksma, jo Tas Kungs dara lielas lietas.
Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.
22 Nebīstaties, zvēri laukā! Jo ganības tuksnesī atkal nesīs jaunu zāli, jo koki nesīs savus augļus, vīna koks un vīģes koks izdos savu spēku.
Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.
23 Un Ciānas bērni, priecājaties un līksmojaties iekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva! Jo Viņš jums dos taisnības mācītāju un jums sūtīs lietu, agro lietu un vēlo lietu kā papriekš.
Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and have joy in the Lord your God: for he gives you food in full measure, making the rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as at the first.
24 Un kloni būs pilni labības, un spaidi pārtecēs no vīna un eļļas.
And the floors will be full of grain, and the crushing-places overflowing with wine and oil.
25 Tā Es jums atmaksāšu tos gadus, ko siseņi, vaboles un kukaiņi un kāpuri ir noēduši, Mans lielais karaspēks, ko Es jums biju sūtījis.
I will give back to you the years which were food for the locust, the plant-worm, the field-fly, and the worm, my great army which I sent among you.
26 Un jūs ēdin ēdīsiet un pieēdīsities un slavēsiet Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu, kas brīnišķi jums ir darījis, un Mani ļaudis netaps kaunā ne mūžam.
You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:
27 Un jūs manīsiet, ka Es esmu Israēla vidū, un ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, un cits neviens, un Mani ļaudis netaps kaunā ne mūžam.
And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.
28 Pēc tam tas notiks, ka Es Savu Garu izliešu pār visu miesu, un jūsu dēli un jūsu meitas sludinās praviešu mācību, jūsu vecaji sapņos sapņus, jūsu jaunekļi redzēs parādīšanas.
And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:
29 Arī pār kalpiem un pār kalponēm Es izliešu Savu Garu tanīs dienās.
And on the servants and the servant-girls in those days I will send my spirit.
30 Un Es darīšu brīnumus debesīs un zemes virsū, asinis un uguni un dūmu tvaiku.
And I will let wonders be seen in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
31 Saule taps pārvērsta par tumsību un mēnesis par asinīm, pirms nekā nāks Tā Kunga lielā un bijājamā diena.
The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.
32 Un notiks, ka ikviens, kas Tā Kunga vārdu piesauks, taps izglābts. Jo Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē būs glābšana, kā Tas Kungs ir runājis, un pie tiem atlikušiem būs tie, ko Tas Kungs aicinās.
And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.
