Joel 3
1 »Kajti glej, v tistih dneh in v tistem času, ko bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Juda in Jeruzalema,
For behold in those days, and in that time when I shall bring back the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem:
2 bom prav tako zbral vse narode in jih privedel dol v dolino Józafat in tam se bom pravdal z njimi zaradi svojega ljudstva in zaradi svoje dediščine Izraela, ki so jih razkropili med narode in razdelili mojo deželo.
I will gather together all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Josaphat: and I will plead with them there for my people, and for my inheritance Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have parted my land.
3 Za moje ljudstvo so metali žrebe in dajali fanta za pocestnico in punco prodajali za vino, da bi lahko pili.
And they have cast lots upon my people: and the boy they have put in the stews, and the girl they have sold for wine, that they might drink.
4 Da, in kaj imate vi z menoj, oh Tir in Sidón in vse obale Palestine? Ali mi boste vrnili povračilo? In če mi povrnete, bom brez odlašanja in hitro vaše povračilo povrnil na vašo lastno glavo,
But what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coast of the Philistines? will you revenge yourselves on me? and if you revenge yourselves on me, I will very soon return you a recompense upon your own head.
5 zato ker ste jemali moje srebro in moje zlato in ste v svoje templje odnesli čudovite, prijetne stvari.
For you have taken away my silver and my gold: and my desirable and most beautiful things you have carried into your temples.
6 Prav tako ste Grkom prodajali Judove otroke in jeruzalemske otroke, da bi jih lahko spravili daleč proč od njihove meje.
And the children of Juda, and the children of Jerusalem you have sold to the children of the Greeks, that you might remove them far off from their own country.
7 Glej, dvignil jih bom iz kraja, kamor ste jih prodali in povrnil vam bom vaše povračilo na vašo lastno glavo.
Behold, I will raise them up out of the place wherein you have sold them: and I will return your recompense upon your own heads.
8 Vaše sinove in vaše hčere bom prodal v roko Judovih otrok in prodali jih bodo Sabejcem, ljudstvu, ki je daleč proč, « kajti Gospod je to govoril.
And I will sell your sons, and your daughters by the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far off, for the Lord hath spoken it.
9 Razglasite to med pogani: »Pripravite vojno, prebudite mogočne može, naj se vsi bojevniki približajo, naj pridejo gor.
Proclaim ye this among the nations: prepare war, rouse up the strong: let them come, let all the men of war come up.
10 Prekujte svoje lemeže v meče in svoje obrezovalne kavlje v sulice. Naj slabotni reče: ›Močan sem.‹«
Cut your ploughshares into swords, and your spades into spears. Let the weak say: I am strong.
11 Zberite se in pridite vsi vi pogani in zberite se skupaj naokrog. Tamkaj primoraj svoje mogočne, da pridejo dol, oh Gospod.
Break forth, and come, all ye nations, from round about, and gather yourselves together: there will the Lord cause all thy strong ones to fall down.
12 Naj bodo pogani prebujeni in pridejo gor v dolino Józafat, kajti tam bom sedel, da sodim vsem poganom naokoli.
Let them arise, and let the nations come up into the valley of Josaphat: for there I will sit to judge all nations round about.
13 Nastavite srp, kajti žetev je zrela. Pridite, spustite se, kajti stiskalnica je polna, maščoba preplavlja, kajti njihova zlobnost je velika.
Put ye in the sickles, for the harvest is ripe: come and go down, for the press is full, the fats run over: for their wickedness is multiplied.
14 Množice, množice v dolini odločitve; kajti dan Gospodov je blizu v dolini odločitve.
Nations, nations in the valley of destruction: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of destruction.
15 Sonce in luna bosta otemnela in zvezde bodo umaknile svoje svetlikanje.
The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.
16 Gospod bo tudi rjovel iz Siona in izustil svoj glas iz Jeruzalema, in nebo in zemlja se bosta tresla, toda Gospod bo upanje svojemu ljudstvu in moč Izraelovim otrokom.
And the Lord shall roar out of Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the heavens and the earth shall be moved, and the Lord shall be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 Tako boste vedeli, da jaz sem Gospod, vaš Bog, ki prebivam na Sionu, moji sveti gori. Potem bo Jeruzalem svet in nikakršni tujci ne bodo več hodili skozenj.
And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall pass through it no more.
18 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, da bodo gore kapljale novo vino in z gričev se bo cedilo mleko in v vseh Judovih rekah bodo tekle vode in studenec bo izviral iz Gospodove hiše in namakal dolino Šitím.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk: and waters shall flow through all the rivers of Juda: and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the torrent of thorns.
19 Egipt bo opustošenje in Edóm bo zapuščena divjina zaradi nasilja zoper Judove otroke, ker so v njihovi deželi prelivali nedolžno kri.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a wilderness destroyed: because they have done unjustly against the children of Juda, and have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Toda Juda bo prebival na veke in Jeruzalem od roda do roda.
And Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to generation and generation.
21 Kajti jaz bom očistil njihovo kri, ki je nisem očistil, kajti Gospod prebiva na Sionu.
And I will cleanse their blood which I had not cleansed: and the Lord will dwell in Sion.
