Joela 3
1 Inao, hampoliko amy andro rezay, naho amy sa zay, ty fandrohiza’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime,
For lo! in those days, and at that time, —when I shall bring back 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.
Then will I gather all the nations, and bring them down into the Vale of Jehoshaphat, —and will enter into judgment with them there, concerning my people, and mine inheritance Israel, whom they scattered among the nations, and, my land, they apportioned;
3 Vinili’ iareo aman-kitsapake ondatikoo, kinalo’ iareo tsimirira ty ajalahy naho navaro’ iareo ty somondrara ho divay hinoma’ iareo.
And, for my people, they cast lots, —and gave a boy for a harlot, and a girl sold they for wine—and drank.
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,
Moreover also, what have, ye, to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the circuit of Palestine? A recompense, are ye paying back unto me? But, though ye should make a recompense unto me, swiftly, speedily, would I return your recompense 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,
Because, my silver and my gold, ye took away, —and, my richly beautiful things, carried ye into your temples;
6 naho naleta’ areo amo nte-Ievanio o ana’ Iehodào naho o ana’ Ierosalaimeo haneseañe iareo lavitse ty tane’ iareo añe.
And, the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem, ye sold to the sons of Greece, —that they might be far removed from their own boundary.
7 Inao fa hampionjoneko boak’ an-tane nandetahañe iareo, vaho havàhako an-doha’ areo o sata’ areoo,
Behold me! rousing them up out of the place whither ye sold them, —So will I bring back your dealing 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 sons of Judah, and they will sell them to Sabeans, unto a nation afar off, —for, Yahweh, hath spoken.
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, Hallow a war, rouse the mighty ones, let them draw near, come up, all the men of war!
10 Tefeo ho fibara o lelan-dasarì’ areoo, naho ho lefoñe o fibira’ areoo, ampanò ty hoe o mavozoo: Maozatse iraho;
Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-hooks into spears, —as for the weak, let him say, mighty, I am.
11 Malisà! mb’etoy ry kilakila’ ondaty mañohokeo; ampizotsò o fanalolahi’oo ry Iehovà.
Give help—and come in, all ye nations on every side, and gather yourselves together, —Thither, bring down, O Yahweh, thy mighty ones!
12 Mitrobotroboa ry kilakila ondatio, mionjona mb’am-bavatane’ Iehosefate eo. fa eo ty hitobohako hizaka o kilakila ondaty miarisehoo.
Let the nations, be roused, and come up, into the Vale of Jehoshaphat, —for, there, will I sit to judge all the nations, on every side.
13 Sonjono ty fitatahañe, fa matoe i vokatsey, miziliha, mandialià, fa pea i fipiritañey, naho mandopatse o sajoao, fa bey ty haloloa’ iareo.
Thrust ye in the vintage knife, for, grown ripe, is the vintage, —Go in, tread down, for full is the winepress, flow over do the vats, for abundant is their wickedness.
14 Rehoreho, fikorakorahañe ty am-bavatanem-panàmpan-kevetse, fa mitotoke ty andro’ Iehovà am-bavatanem-panàmpan-kevetse.
Multitudes, multitudes, in the vale of strict decision, —for near is the day of Yahweh, in the vale of strict decision.
15 Hampaieñeñe i àndroy naho i volañey, vaho hasinta’ o vasiañeo o filoeloea’eo.
The sun and the moon, have become dark, —and, the stars, have withdrawn 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, Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, and the heavens and the earth, shall tremble, —but, Yahweh, shall be a shelter to his people, and a refuge to the sons 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, Yahweh, am your God, making my habitation in Zion my holy mountain, —So shall, Jerusalem, be, holy, and, foreigners, shall pass through her no 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 drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow down with milk, and, all the channels of Judah, shall flow down with waters, —and, a spring, out of the house of Yahweh, shall come forth, and shall water the torrent-valley of the acacias.
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, to a desolation, shall be turned, and, Edom, to a desert most desolate, shall be changed, —because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in that they shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Fa himoneñe nainai’e t’Iehodà; naho tariratse an-tariratse t’Ierosalaime
But, Judah, age-abidingly, shall remain, and, Jerusalem, to generation after generation.
21 Le ho lioveko ty lio’iareo mboe tsy nilioveko fa himoneñe e Tsione ao t’Iehovà.
And I will free from their blood-guiltiness them whom I had not freed, —for, Yahweh, is about to make his habitation in Zion.
