Joel 3
1 “Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti ní àkókò náà, nígbà tí èmi tún mú ìgbèkùn Juda àti Jerusalẹmu padà bọ̀.
For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,
2 Èmi yóò kó gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè jọ pẹ̀lú èmi yóò sì mú wọn wá sí àfonífojì Jehoṣafati. Èmi yóò sì bá wọn wíjọ́ níbẹ̀ nítorí àwọn ènìyàn mi, àti nítorí Israẹli ìní mi, tí wọ́n fọ́nká sí àárín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, wọ́n sì pín ilẹ̀ mi.
I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.
3 Wọ́n si ti di ìbò fún àwọn ènìyàn mi; wọ́n sì ti fi ọmọdékùnrin kan fún panṣágà obìnrin kan, wọ́n sì ta ọmọdébìnrin kan fún ọtí wáìnì, kí wọ́n kí ó lè mu.
And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.
4 “Nísinsin yìí, kí ni ẹ̀yin ní fi mí ṣe Tire àti Sidoni, àti gbogbo ẹ̀yin ẹkún Filistia? Ẹ̀yin yóò ha sàn ẹ̀san fún mi? Bí ẹ̀yin bá sì san ẹ̀san fún mi, ní kánkán àti ní kíákíá ní èmi yóò san ẹ̀san ohun ti ẹ̀yin ṣe padà sórí ara yín.
And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,
5 Nítorí tí ẹ̀yin tí mú fàdákà mi àti wúrà mi, ẹ̀yin si tí mú ohun rere dáradára mi lọ sínú tẹmpili yín.
For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.
6 Àti àwọn ọmọ Juda, àti àwọn ọmọ Jerusalẹmu ní ẹ̀yin ti tà fún àwọn ará Giriki, kí ẹ̀yin bá à lè sí wọn jìnnà kúrò ní agbègbè ilẹ̀ ìní wọn.
And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:
7 “Kíyèsi í, èmi yóò gbé wọ́n dìde kúrò níbi tì ẹ̀yin ti tà wọ́n sí, èmi yóò sì san ẹ̀san ohun ti ẹ ṣe padà sórí ara yín.
See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;
8 Èmi yóò si tà àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín sí ọwọ́ àwọn ọmọ Juda, wọ́n yóò sì tà wọ́n fún àwọn ara Sabeani, fún orílẹ̀-èdè kan tí ó jìnnà réré.” Nítorí Olúwa ní o ti sọ ọ.
I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.
9 Ẹ kéde èyí ní àárín àwọn kèfèrí; ẹ dira ogun, ẹ jí àwọn alágbára. Jẹ kí àwọn ajagun kí wọn bẹ̀rẹ̀ ogun.
Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.
10 Ẹ fi irin ìtulẹ̀ yín rọ idà, àti dòjé yín rọ ọ̀kọ̀. Jẹ́ kí aláìlera wí pé, “Ara mi le koko.”
Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong.
11 Ẹ wá kánkán, gbogbo ẹ̀yin kèfèrí láti gbogbo àyíká, kí ẹ sì gbá ara yín jọ yí káàkiri. Níbẹ̀ ní kí o mú àwọn alágbára rẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀, Olúwa.
Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.
12 “Ẹ jí, ẹ sì gòkè wá sí àfonífojì Jehoṣafati ẹ̀yin kèfèrí: nítorí níbẹ̀ ní èmi yóò jókòó láti ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn kèfèrí yí káàkiri.
Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.
13 Ẹ tẹ dòjé bọ̀ ọ́, nítorí ìkórè pọ́n. Ẹ wá, ẹ sọ̀kalẹ̀, nítorí ìfúntí kún, nítorí àwọn ọpọ́n kún àkúnwọ́sílẹ̀, nítorí ìwà búburú wọn pọ̀!”
Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.
14 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ní àfonífojì ìpinnu! Nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa kù si dẹ̀dẹ̀ ní àfonífojì ìdájọ́.
Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 Oòrùn àti òṣùpá yóò ṣú òkùnkùn, àti àwọn ìràwọ̀ kí yóò tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ wọn mọ́.
The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.
16 Olúwa yóò sí ké ramúramù láti Sioni wá, yóò sì fọ ohùn rẹ̀ jáde láti Jerusalẹmu wá; àwọn ọ̀run àti ayé yóò sì mì tìtì. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa yóò ṣe ààbò àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀, àti agbára àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.
17 “Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀yin yóò mọ̀ pé, èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ń gbé Sioni òkè mímọ́ mi. Ìgbà náà ni Jerusalẹmu yóò jẹ́ mímọ́; àwọn àjèjì kì yóò sì kó o mọ́.
And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.
18 “Ní ọjọ́ náà, àwọn òkè ńlá yóò máa kán ọtí wáìnì tuntun sílẹ̀, àwọn òkè kéékèèké yóò máa sàn fún wàrà; gbogbo odò Juda tí ó gbẹ́ yóò máa sàn fún omi. Orísun kan yóò sì ṣàn jáde láti inú ilé Olúwa wá, yóò sì rin omi sí àfonífojì Ṣittimu.
And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n Ejibiti yóò di ahoro, Edomu yóò sì di aṣálẹ̀ ahoro, nítorí ìwà ipá tí a hù sì àwọn ọmọ Juda, ní ilẹ̀ ẹni tí wọ́n ti ta ẹ̀jẹ̀ aláìṣẹ̀ sílẹ̀.
Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n Juda yóò jẹ́ ibùgbé títí láé, àti Jerusalẹmu láti ìran dé ìran.
But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Nítorí èmi yóò wẹ ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn nù, tí èmi kò tí ì wẹ̀nù.
And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
