Joel 3
1 “Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì, àti ní àkókò náà, nígbà tí èmi tún mú ìgbèkùn Juda àti Jerusalẹmu padà bọ̀.
“For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
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.
Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been in judgment with them there, Concerning My people and My inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
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 for My people they cast a lot, And they give the young man for a harlot, And have sold the young woman for wine, That they may drink.
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 also, what [are] you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Are you rendering repayment to Me? And if you are giving repayment to Me, Swiftly, quickly, I return your repayment 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.
In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
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 sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, You have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
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.
Behold, I am stirring them up out of the place To where you have sold them, And I have turned back your repayment 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.
And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Sabeans, To a nation far off, for YHWH has spoken.”
9 Ẹ kéde èyí ní àárín àwọn kèfèrí; ẹ dira ogun, ẹ jí àwọn alágbára. Jẹ kí àwọn ajagun kí wọn bẹ̀rẹ̀ ogun.
Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
10 Ẹ fi irin ìtulẹ̀ yín rọ idà, àti dòjé yín rọ ọ̀kọ̀. Jẹ́ kí aláìlera wí pé, “Ara mi le koko.”
Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
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.
Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
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 wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
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!”
Send forth a sickle, For harvest has ripened, Come in, come down, for the press has been filled, Winepresses have overflowed, For great [is] their wickedness.”
14 Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ní àfonífojì ìpinnu! Nítorí ọjọ́ Olúwa kù si dẹ̀dẹ̀ ní àfonífojì ìdájọ́.
Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
15 Oòrùn àti òṣùpá yóò ṣú òkùnkùn, àti àwọn ìràwọ̀ kí yóò tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ wọn mọ́.
Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up 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 YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and earth have shaken, And YHWH [is] a refuge to His people, And a stronghold to sons 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 have known that I [am] your God YHWH, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem has been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.”
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 has come to pass in that day, The mountains drop down juice, And the hills flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of YHWH goes forth, And has watered the Valley of Shittim.
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 becomes a desolation, And Edom becomes a desolation, a wilderness, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n Juda yóò jẹ́ ibùgbé títí láé, àti Jerusalẹmu láti ìran dé ìran.
And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
21 Nítorí èmi yóò wẹ ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn nù, tí èmi kò tí ì wẹ̀nù.
And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
