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:
Blow ye a horn in Zion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land, tremble, —for coming is the day of Yahweh, for it is near!—
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.
A day of obscurity and deep gloom, a day of cloud, and thick darkness, as dusk, spread over the mountains, —a people, many and bold, like whom, hath not been from age-past times, and, after whom, shall not be again unto the years of generation after 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 him, hath a fire, devoured, and, after him, shall a flame, consume, —As the garden of Eden, is the land before him, but, after him, a desert most desolate, Moreover also, escape, giveth he none.
4 Viņu ģīmis ir kā zirgu ģīmis, un kā jātnieki, tāpat viņi skrien.
As the appearance of horses, is his appearance, and, as war-horses, so, shall they run:
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 noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, shall they rattle along, like the noise of a flame of fire, devouring dry straw, —like a people bold, arrayed for battle.
6 Viņu ieraudzīdami, ļaudis iztrūcinājās, visu vaigu sārtums nobāl.
Because of him, shall peoples’, be in anguish, —all faces, have withdrawn their colour.
7 Tie skrien kā varoņi, kā kara vīri tie uzkāpj uz mūriem; un tie ikviens iet pa savu ceļu un neatkāpjās no savas tekas.
Like heroes, shall they run, like men of war, shall they mount a wall, —and, every one—along his own road, shall they march along, and shall not change their paths;
8 Tie nespiež viens otru, ikviens staigā savā kārtā, un jebšu krīt kara ieročos, tomēr tie netop aizturēti.
Nor, against each other, shall they strike, Each—on his own highway, shall they march, —though, in among the weapons, they fall, they shall not stop.
9 Tie staigā pa pilsētu, tie skrien pa mūriem, tie iekāpj namos, tie nāk caur logiem iekšā kā zaglis.
Upon the city, shall they leap, on the wall, shall they run, up the houses, shall they climb, —through the windows, shall they enter, like a thief,
10 Viņas priekšā dreb zeme, debess trīc, saule un mēnesis aptumšojās, un zvaigznes ierauj savu spožumu.
Before him, hath quaked the earth, have trembled the heavens, —the sun and the moon, have become dark, and, the stars, have withdrawn 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, Yahweh, hath uttered his voice, before his host, for great indeed is his camp, for bold is he who executeth his word, —for great is the day of Yahweh, and awful exceedingly, Who then shall endure it?
12 Bet arī tagad Tas Kungs saka: atgriežaties pie Manis ar visu savu sirdi, un ar gavēšanu un ar raudāšanu un ar nožēlošanu.
Even now, therefore, urgeth Yahweh, Turn ye unto me, with all your heart, —and with fasting and with weeping, and with lamentation;
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.
And rend your heart, and not your garments, turn therefore, unto Yahweh your God, —for, gracious and full of compassion, is he, slow to anger, and abundant in loving- kindness, and will grieve over calamity.
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!
Who knoweth, he may turn and grieve, —and leave behind him, a blessing, a meal-offering and a drink-offering, to Yahweh your God?
15 Bazūnējiet ar bazūni Ciānā, svētījiet gavēni, izsauciet sapulces dienu.
Blow ye a horn, in Zion, —hallow a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16 Sapulcinājiet ļaudis, svētījiet draudzi, sapulcinājiet vecajus, sasauciet bērniņus un zīdāmos pie krūtīm. Lai brūtgāns iet no sava kambara un brūte no savas vietas.
Gather the people, hallow a convocation, collect the elders, gather the children, and the sucklings of the breasts, —let the bridegroom, come forth, from his chamber, and the bride from her bower:
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?
Between the porch and the altar, let the priests, weep, the attendants of Yahweh, —and let them say—Look with pity, O Yahweh, upon thy people, and do not deliver thine inheritance to reproach, that the nations, should mock them, Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?
18 Tad Tas Kungs iekarsa Savas zemes pēc un saudzēja Savus ļaudis.
And Yahweh became jealous for his land, —and took 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.
Then answered Yahweh, and said to his people: —Behold me! sending you the corn, and the new wine and the oil, so shall ye be satisfied therewith; and I will not make you, any more, a reproach 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.
And, the Northerner, will I remove far from you, and drive him into a land parched and desolate, with, his face, toward the eastern sea, and, his rear, toward the hinder sea, —then shall come up his ill odour, yea his stench, shall ascend, because he hath shown himself great in doing.
21 Nebīsties, zeme! Priecājies un esi līksma, jo Tas Kungs dara lielas lietas.
Be not thou afraid, O soil, —exult and rejoice, because Yahweh, hath shown himself great, in doing.
22 Nebīstaties, zvēri laukā! Jo ganības tuksnesī atkal nesīs jaunu zāli, jo koki nesīs savus augļus, vīna koks un vīģes koks izdos savu spēku.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field, for sprouted have the pastures of the wilderness, —for, the tree, hath borne its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine, have yielded their wealth.
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.
Ye sons of Zion, then, exult and be glad in Yahweh your God, for he hath given you the seed-rain, in right manner, —Yea he hath caused to descend for you a down-pour, of seed-rain and of the harvest-rain in the first month;
24 Un kloni būs pilni labības, un spaidi pārtecēs no vīna un eļļas.
So shall the threshing-floors, be filled, with corn, —and the vats, overflow, with new 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.
Then will I make good to you the years which were eaten by the swarming locust, the grass locust, and the corn locust and the creeping locust, —even 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.
And ye shall eat and eat, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Yahweh your God, who hath dealt with you wondrously, —so shall my people, not be abashed, unto times age-abiding.
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.
So shall ye know that, in the midst of Israel, I am, and that, I, Yahweh, am your God, and none else, —and my people, shall not be abashed, unto times age-abiding.
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 it shall come to pass, afterwards, I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters, shall prophesy, —your old men, shall dream, dreams, your young men, shall see, visions;
29 Arī pār kalpiem un pār kalponēm Es izliešu Savu Garu tanīs dienās.
Moreover also, upon the servants and upon the handmaids—in those days, will I pour out my spirit;
30 Un Es darīšu brīnumus debesīs un zemes virsū, asinis un uguni un dūmu tvaiku.
And I will set forth wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, —blood, and fire, and columns of smoke:
31 Saule taps pārvērsta par tumsību un mēnesis par asinīm, pirms nekā nāks Tā Kunga lielā un bijājamā diena.
The sun, shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, —before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh.
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 shall come to pass, whosoever, shall call on the name of Yahweh, shall be delivered, —For in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, shall be a delivered remnant, just as Yahweh hath said, and among the survivors, whom Yahweh doth call.
