Joēla 3
1 Jo redzi, tanīs dienās un tanī laikā, kad Es Jūda un Jeruzālemes cietumu atgriezīšu,
For, behold, in those days and in that time, when I will have converted the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 Tad Es sapulcināšu visus pagānus un tos novedīšu uz Jehošafata ieleju un tur ar tiem tiesāšos Savu ļaužu dēļ un Sava īpašuma, Israēla, dēļ, ko tie izkaisījuši tautu starpā un izdalījuši Manu zemi.
I will gather all the Gentiles, and will lead them into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And there I will dispute with them over my people, and over Israel, my inheritance, for they have scattered them among the nations and have divided my land.
3 Un par Maniem ļaudīm tie meslus metuši un puisēnu devuši par mauku un meiteni pārdevuši par vīnu un ir dzēruši.
And they have cast lots over my people; and the boy they have placed in the brothel, and the girl they have sold for wine, so that they might drink.
4 Un jūs no Tirus un Sidonas un visām Fīlistu robežām, kas jums ar Mani? Vai jūs Man ko gribat atdarīt, ko Es jums darījis, jeb vai jūs Man ko gribat padarīt? Ātri un piepeši Es to atmaksāšu uz jūsu galvu.
Truly, what is there between you and me, Tyre and Sidon and all the distant places of the Philistines? How will you take vengeance on me? And if you were to revenge yourselves against me, I would deliver a repayment to you, quickly and soon, upon your head.
5 Tāpēc ka jūs esat laupījuši Manu sudrabu un Manu zeltu, un Manus dārgumus nesuši savu dievekļu namos;
For you have carried away my silver and gold. And my desirable and most beautiful, you have taken into your shrines.
6 Un Jūda bērnus un Jeruzālemes bērnus jūs esat pārdevuši Grieķiem, tos tālu aizdzīt no viņa robežām:
And you, sons of Judah and sons of Jerusalem, you have sold the sons of the Greeks, so that you might drive them far from their own territory.
7 Redzi, Es tos uzmodināšu no tās vietas, kurp jūs tos esat pārdevuši, un atmaksāšu jūsu maksu uz jūsu galvām.
Behold, I will raise them up from the place into which you have sold them, and I will turn back your retribution on your own head.
8 Un Es jūsu dēlus un jūsu meitas pārdošu Jūdu bērniem rokā; tie tos pārdos uz Sabu, tautai, kas tālu dzīvo, - jo Tas Kungs to ir runājis.
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.
9 Izsauciet to starp pagāniem, svētījiet karu, pamodinājiet tos varenos, lai atnāk un ceļas visi karavīri.
Proclaim this among the Gentiles: “Sanctify a war, raise up the strong. Approach, ascend, all men of war.
10 Kaļat savus lemešus par zobeniem un savas cirpes par šķēpiem! Vājais lai saka: es esmu stiprs!
Cut your ploughs into swords and your hoes into spears. Let the weak say, ‘For I am strong.’
11 Sapulcējaties un nāciet šurp, visas tautas visapkārt, un sakrājaties! Turp noved, Kungs, savus varenos!
Break out and advance, all nations of the world, and gather together. There the Lord will cause all your strong ones to meet death.”
12 Tautas lai ceļas un sanāk Jehošafata ielejā, jo tur Es sēdēšu un tiesāšu visas tautas visapkārt.
Let them arise and ascend to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit, so as to judge all the nations of the world.
13 Pieliekat cirpi, jo pļaujamais ir gatavs; nāciet, minat, jo vīna spaids ir pilns, un trauki tek pāri, jo viņu blēdība ir liela.
Send forth the sickles, because the harvest has matured. Advance and descend, for the press is full, the pressing room is overflowing. For their malice has been increasing.
14 Troksnis, troksnis tai tiesas ielejā, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu klāt tiesas ielejā.
Nations, nations in the valley of being cut to pieces: for the day of the Lord fittingly takes place in the valley of being cut to pieces.
15 Saule un mēnesis aptumšojās un zvaigznes ierauj savu spožumu.
The sun and the moon have been darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their splendor.
16 Un Tas Kungs rūc no Ciānas, un no Jeruzālemes viņš paceļ Savu balsi, tā ka debess un zeme dreb. Bet Tas Kungs ir patvērums Saviem ļaudīm un stiprums Israēla bērniem.
And the Lord will roar from Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth will be moved. And the Lord will be the hope of his people and the strength of the sons of Israel.
17 Un jūs manīsiet, ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, kas dzīvo Ciānā, Savā svētā kalnā, un Jeruzāleme būs svēta vieta, un sveši tur vairs neies cauri.
And you will know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will not cross through it anymore.
18 Un tai dienā pilēs salds vīns no kalniem un piens tecēs no pakalniem, un visi Jūda strauti būs pilni ūdens, un avots izlēks no Tā Kunga nama, tas slacinās visu Sitimas ieleju.
And it will happen, in that day, that the mountains will drip sweetness, and the hills will flow with milk. And the waters will pass through all the rivers of Judah. And a fountain will go forth from the house of the Lord, and it will irrigate the desert of thorns.
19 Ēģipte taps postā un Edoms par tukšu vietu, tā varas darba dēļ, kas darīts pie Jūda bērniem, kuru zemē tie izlējuši nenoziedzīgas asinis.
Egypt will be in desolation, and Edom will be a wilderness destroyed, because of what they have unfairly done to the sons of Judah, and because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Bet Jūda pastāvēs mūžīgi un Jeruzāleme uz cilšu ciltīm.
And Judea will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem for generation upon generation.
21 Un Es atriebšu tās asinis, ko Es vēl nebiju atriebis. Un Tas Kungs dzīvos Ciānā.
And I will cleanse their blood, which I had not cleansed. And the Lord will remain in Zion.
