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 will cause to return the captivity of Judah 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.

Then will I assemble all the nations, and I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will hold judgment with them there because of my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and for my land [which] they have divided out.

3 Za moje ljudstvo so metali žrebe in dajali fanta za pocestnico in punco prodajali za vino, da bi lahko pili.

And for my people did they cast lots; and gave a boy for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, and drank it.

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,

And also ye, what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all ye districts of Philistia? is this the recompense which ye repay me? or do ye only commence to render me evil?— swiftly and speedily will I bring back your recompense upon your own head;

5 zato ker ste jemali moje srebro in moje zlato in ste v svoje templje odnesli čudovite, prijetne stvari.

Because my silver and my gold have ye taken, and the handsomest of my precious things have ye 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 Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Jevanim, in order to remove them far from their borders.

7 Glej, dvignil jih bom iz kraja, kamor ste jih prodali in povrnil vam bom vaše povračilo na vašo lastno glavo.

Behold, I will awaken them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will bring back your recompense upon your own head;

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 deliver your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to 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, wake up the mighty men; let them draw near; let them come up—all the men of war.

10 Prekujte svoje lemeže v meče in svoje obrezovalne kavlje v sulice. Naj slabotni reče: ›Močan sem.‹«

Beat your plough-shares into swords, and your pruning-knives into spears: let the weak say, I am a hero.

11 Zberite se in pridite vsi vi pogani in zberite se skupaj naokrog. Tamkaj primoraj svoje mogočne, da pridejo dol, oh Gospod.

Assemble hastily together, and come, all ye nations from every side, and gather yourselves together: there doth the Lord strike down thy mighty ones.

12 Naj bodo pogani prebujeni in pridejo gor v dolino Józafat, kajti tam bom sedel, da sodim vsem poganom naokoli.

Let the nations awake, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations from every side.

13 Nastavite srp, kajti žetev je zrela. Pridite, spustite se, kajti stiskalnica je polna, maščoba preplavlja, kajti njihova zlobnost je velika.

Put forth the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread down [the grapes]; for the press is full; the vats overflow; for great is their wickedness.

14 Množice, množice v dolini odločitve; kajti dan Gospodov je blizu v dolini odločitve.

Multitudes, multitudes are in the valley of decision; for near is the day of the Lord in the valley of decision.

15 Sonce in luna bosta otemnela in zvezde bodo umaknile svoje svetlikanje.

Sun and moon are obscured, and stars withdraw their brightness.

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 will cry aloud out of Zion, and from Jerusalem will he send forth his voice; and the heavens and the earth shall quake; but the Lord will be a refuge for his people, and a stronghold for 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.

So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mount: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her any 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 came to pass on that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the ravines of Judah shall flow with water; and a spring shall come forth out of the house of the Lord, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

19 Egipt bo opustošenje in Edóm bo zapuščena divjina zaradi nasilja zoper Judove otroke, ker so v njihovi deželi prelivali nedolžno kri.

Egypt shall become a desolate land, and Edom shall become a desolate wilderness; because of the violence against the children of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood.

20 Toda Juda bo prebival na veke in Jeruzalem od roda do roda.

But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21 Kajti jaz bom očistil njihovo kri, ki je nisem očistil, kajti Gospod prebiva na Sionu.

And I will avenge their blood that I have not yet avenged; for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
