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 restore the fortunes 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 nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They 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 have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may 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.
“Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
5 Tāpēc ka jūs esat laupījuši Manu sudrabu un Manu zeltu, un Manus dārgumus nesuši savu dievekļu namos;
Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
6 Un Jūda bērnus un Jeruzālemes bērnus jūs esat pārdevuši Grieķiem, tos tālu aizdzīt no viņa robežām:
and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
7 Redzi, Es tos uzmodināšu no tās vietas, kurp jūs tos esat pārdevuši, un atmaksāšu jūsu maksu uz jūsu galvām.
Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment 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 children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it.”
9 Izsauciet to starp pagāniem, svētījiet karu, pamodinājiet tos varenos, lai atnāk un ceļas visi karavīri.
Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them 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 hooks 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 surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
12 Tautas lai ceļas un sanāk Jehošafata ielejā, jo tur Es sēdēšu un tiesāšu visas tautas visapkārt.
“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will 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, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
14 Troksnis, troksnis tai tiesas ielejā, jo Tā Kunga diena ir tuvu klāt tiesas ielejā.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 Saule un mēnesis aptumšojās un zvaigznes ierauj savu spožumu.
The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
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.
The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children 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 the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
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 happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; and a fountain will flow out from the LORD’s house, and will 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 be a desolation and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Bet Jūda pastāvēs mūžīgi un Jeruzāleme uz cilšu ciltīm.
But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Un Es atriebšu tās asinis, ko Es vēl nebiju atriebis. Un Tas Kungs dzīvos Ciānā.
I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
