Joēla 3
1 Jo redzi, tanīs dienās un tanī laikā, kad Es Jūda un Jeruzālemes cietumu atgriezīšu,
Behold, in those days and at that time, when I return the exiles 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 nations, and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. I will judge them there, because of my people and my inheritance Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, and because they divided up my land.
3 Un par Maniem ļaudīm tie meslus metuši un puisēnu devuši par mauku un meiteni pārdevuši par vīnu un ir dzēruši.
They cast lots for my people, traded a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine so they could 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.
Now, why are you angry at me, Tyre, Sidon and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? Even if you do repay me, I will immediately return your retribution on your own head.
5 Tāpēc ka jūs esat laupījuši Manu sudrabu un Manu zeltu, un Manus dārgumus nesuši savu dievekļu namos;
For you took my silver and my gold, and you brought my precious treasures into your temples.
6 Un Jūda bērnus un Jeruzālemes bērnus jūs esat pārdevuši Grieķiem, tos tālu aizdzīt no viņa robežām:
You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, in order to remove them far from their territory.
7 Redzi, Es tos uzmodināšu no tās vietas, kurp jūs tos esat pārdevuši, un atmaksāšu jūsu maksu uz jūsu galvām.
Look, I am about to stir them up, out of the place where you sold them, and will return payment 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.
I will sell your sons and your daughters, by the hand of the people of Judah. They will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off, for Yahweh has spoken.”
9 Izsauciet to starp pagāniem, svētījiet karu, pamodinājiet tos varenos, lai atnāk un ceļas visi karavīri.
Proclaim this among the nations, “Prepare yourselves for war, rouse the mighty men, let them come near, let all the men of battle come up.
10 Kaļat savus lemešus par zobeniem un savas cirpes par šķēpiem! Vājais lai saka: es esmu stiprs!
Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning knives into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'
11 Sapulcējaties un nāciet šurp, visas tautas visapkārt, un sakrājaties! Turp noved, Kungs, savus varenos!
Hurry and come, all you nearby nations, gather yourselves together there. Yahweh, bring down your mighty warriors.
12 Tautas lai ceļas un sanāk Jehošafata ielejā, jo tur Es sēdēšu un tiesāšu visas tautas visapkārt.
Let the nations wake themselves up and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Pieliekat cirpi, jo pļaujamais ir gatavs; nāciet, minat, jo vīna spaids ir pilns, un trauki tek pāri, jo viņu blēdība ir liela.
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, crush the grapes, for the winepress is full. The vats overflow, for their wickedness is enormous.”
14 Troksnis, troksnis tai tiesas ielejā, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu klāt tiesas ielejā.
There is a tumult, a tumult in the Valley of Judgment. For the day of Yahweh is near in the Valley of Judgment.
15 Saule un mēnesis aptumšojās un zvaigznes ierauj savu spožumu.
The sun and the moon become dark, the stars keep back their brightness.
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.
Yahweh will roar from Zion, and raise his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and earth will shake, but Yahweh will be a shelter for his people, and a fortress for the people 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.
“So you will know that I am Yahweh your God who lives in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no army will march through her again.
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.
It will come about on that day that the mountains will drip with sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with water, and a fountain will come from the house of Yahweh and water the Valley of Shittim.
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 become an abandoned devastation, and Edom will become an abandoned wilderness, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Bet Jūda pastāvēs mūžīgi un Jeruzāleme uz cilšu ciltīm.
But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem will be inhabited from generation to generation.
21 Un Es atriebšu tās asinis, ko Es vēl nebiju atriebis. Un Tas Kungs dzīvos Ciānā.
I will avenge their blood that I have not yet avenged, for Yahweh lives in Zion.”
