Joela 3
1 Inao, hampoliko amy andro rezay, naho amy sa zay, ty fandrohiza’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime,
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 naho hatontoko boak’ amy ze hene fifeheañe, naho hampizotsoeko mb’am-bavatane’ Iehosafate mb’eo, vaho eo ty himoahako an-jaka ty am’ ondatikoo naho i lovako Israeley, ie nampibaratsaheñe amo kilakila’ ondatio añe naho nanjarañe i tanekoy.
I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 Vinili’ iareo aman-kitsapake ondatikoo, kinalo’ iareo tsimirira ty ajalahy naho navaro’ iareo ty somondrara ho divay hinoma’ iareo.
and they have cast lots for my people: and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 Inoñ’amako irehe Tsore naho Tsidone, naho ze hene toe’ i Pilisty? Hañavak’ amako hao? Aa naho Hañavake le hafoteko aniany naho masìka an-doha’ areo i ondro’ areoy,
Yea, and what are ye to me, [O] Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head.
5 amy te tinava’ areo o volafotiko naho volamenakoo, naho nendese’ areo an-kibohon’drahare’ areo mb’eo o fànako sarotseo,
Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things;
6 naho naleta’ areo amo nte-Ievanio o ana’ Iehodào naho o ana’ Ierosalaimeo haneseañe iareo lavitse ty tane’ iareo añe.
the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border:
7 Inao fa hampionjoneko boak’ an-tane nandetahañe iareo, vaho havàhako an-doha’ areo o sata’ areoo,
behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head;
8 fa haletako am-pità’ o ana’ Iehodào o ana-dahi’ areoo naho o anak’ ampela’ areoo, vaho haleta’ iereo amo nte-Sevào, ondaty tsietoitane añeo, fa izay ty tsinara’ Iehovà.
and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 Tseizo ty hoe amo kilakila’ondatio: Mihentseña hialy; tsekafo o fanalolahio, ampañarineo ze hene lahindefoñe; ampionjono mb’etoa;
Proclaim ye this among the nations; prepare war: stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
10 Tefeo ho fibara o lelan-dasarì’ areoo, naho ho lefoñe o fibira’ areoo, ampanò ty hoe o mavozoo: Maozatse iraho;
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Malisà! mb’etoy ry kilakila’ ondaty mañohokeo; ampizotsò o fanalolahi’oo ry Iehovà.
Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
12 Mitrobotroboa ry kilakila ondatio, mionjona mb’am-bavatane’ Iehosefate eo. fa eo ty hitobohako hizaka o kilakila ondaty miarisehoo.
Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.
13 Sonjono ty fitatahañe, fa matoe i vokatsey, miziliha, mandialià, fa pea i fipiritañey, naho mandopatse o sajoao, fa bey ty haloloa’ iareo.
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, tread ye; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Rehoreho, fikorakorahañe ty am-bavatanem-panàmpan-kevetse, fa mitotoke ty andro’ Iehovà am-bavatanem-panàmpan-kevetse.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 Hampaieñeñe i àndroy naho i volañey, vaho hasinta’ o vasiañeo o filoeloea’eo.
The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
16 Le hitroñe boak’e Tsione ao t’Iehovà, hampipoña-piarañanañañe boak’e Ierosalaime ao; le hihondrahondra o likerañeo naho ty tane toy; fa fitamà’ ondati’eo t’Iehovà naho ty fipalira-maoza’ o ana’ Israeleo.
And the LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake, but the LORD will be a refuge unto his people, and a strong hold to the children of Israel.
17 Aa le ho fohi’ areo te Izaho Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, mpimoneñe e Tsione, vohi-masiko, ao, aa le hiavake t’Ierosalaime, vaho tsy hiranga ama’e ka o ambahinio.
So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 Ie amy andro zay, hampitsopatsopake divay vao o vohitseo, le horikorihen-dronono o haboañeo, naho hene hikararahan-drano o saka’ Iehodào, le higoangoañe boak’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao ty rano hanondrake ty vavatane’ i Sitime.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 Ho babangoañe t’i Mitsraime, naho ho ratrotratro bangý t’i Edome, ty amy hasiaha’ iareo amo ana’Iehodào, ie nampiorike lio-màliñe an-tane’ iareo eo.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Fa himoneñe nainai’e t’Iehodà; naho tariratse an-tariratse t’Ierosalaime
But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Le ho lioveko ty lio’iareo mboe tsy nilioveko fa himoneñe e Tsione ao t’Iehovà.
And I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
