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 at that time, When I shall bring back the captives 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.
I will assemble all the nations, And will bring them down it to the valley of Jehoshaphat, And there will I contend with them for my people and inheritance, Israel; Because they scattered them among the nations, And divided my land among themselves.
3 Za moje ljudstvo so metali žrebe in dajali fanta za pocestnico in punco prodajali za vino, da bi lahko pili.
Yea, they cast lots for my people, And gave a boy for a harlot, And sold a damsel for wine to 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,
What have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all the borders of Philistia? Will ye retaliate on me? Or will ye do anything against me? Swiftly and speedily will I bring back your doings upon your own head.
5 zato ker ste jemali moje srebro in moje zlato in ste v svoje templje odnesli čudovite, prijetne stvari.
Ye have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried into your palaces my precious, goodly things;
6 Prav tako ste Grkom prodajali Judove otroke in jeruzalemske otroke, da bi jih lahko spravili daleč proč od njihove meje.
The sons also of Judah, and the sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to the Grecians, That ye might remove them far from their border.
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 out of the place whither ye have sold them, And I will return your injury 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.
I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation afar off; For Jehovah 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! Stir up the mighty ones! Let all the warriors draw near; let them come up!”
10 Prekujte svoje lemeže v meče in svoje obrezovalne kavlje v sulice. Naj slabotni reče: ›Močan sem.‹«
Beat your ploughshares into swords, And your pruning-hooks 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.
Assemble yourselves and come, all ye nations round about; Gather yourselves together! Thither, O Jehovah, bring 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 rise and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat! For there will I sit to judge all the nations around.
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 sickle, for the harvest is ripe; Come and tread, for the wine-press is full; The vats overflow; For their wickedness is great!
14 Množice, množice v dolini odločitve; kajti dan Gospodov je blizu v dolini odločitve.
The multitudes, the multitudes in the valley of judgment! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of judgment.
15 Sonce in luna bosta otemnela in zvezde bodo umaknile svoje svetlikanje.
The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw 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.
Jehovah also will roar from Zion, And utter his voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and the earth shall shake. But Jehovah will be a refuge to his people! A strong-hold to the sons 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.
Then shall ye know that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain; And Jerusalem shall be holy; Strangers shall pass through her 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.
In that day shall the mountains drop down new wine, And the hills shall flow with milk. And all the streams of Judah shall flow with water. A fountain shall come forth from the house of Jehovah, That 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 be a waste, And Edom a desolate wilderness, For their violence against the sons of Judah; For they shed innocent blood in their land.
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, which I have not avenged, And Jehovah will dwell upon Zion.
