Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,
»Kajti glej, v tistih dneh in v tistem času, ko bom ponovno privedel ujetništvo Juda in Jeruzalema,
2 I will also gather all the Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed amongst the Gentiles; and [these Gentiles] have divided my land,
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.
3 and cast lots over my people, and have given [their] boys to harlots, and sold [their] girls for wine, and have drunk.
Za moje ljudstvo so metali žrebe in dajali fanta za pocestnico in punco prodajali za vino, da bi lahko pili.
4 And what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles? do you render me a recompense? or do you bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:
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,
5 because you have taken my silver and my gold, and you have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;
zato ker ste jemali moje srebro in moje zlato in ste v svoje templje odnesli čudovite, prijetne stvari.
6 and you have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that you might expel them from their coasts.
Prav tako ste Grkom prodajali Judove otroke in jeruzalemske otroke, da bi jih lahko spravili daleč proč od njihove meje.
7 Therefore, behold, I [will] raise them up out of the place whither you have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.
Glej, dvignil jih bom iz kraja, kamor ste jih prodali in povrnil vam bom vaše povračilo na vašo lastno glavo.
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken [it].
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.
9 Proclaim these things amongst the Gentiles; declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all you men of war.
Razglasite to med pogani: »Pripravite vojno, prebudite mogočne može, naj se vsi bojevniki približajo, naj pridejo gor.
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your sickles into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Prekujte svoje lemeže v meče in svoje obrezovalne kavlje v sulice. Naj slabotni reče: ›Močan sem.‹«
11 Gather yourselves together, and go in, all you nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the timid become a warrior.
Zberite se in pridite vsi vi pogani in zberite se skupaj naokrog. Tamkaj primoraj svoje mogočne, da pridejo dol, oh Gospod.
12 Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.
Naj bodo pogani prebujeni in pridejo gor v dolino Józafat, kajti tam bom sedel, da sodim vsem poganom naokoli.
13 Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread [the grapes], for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.
Nastavite srp, kajti žetev je zrela. Pridite, spustite se, kajti stiskalnica je polna, maščoba preplavlja, kajti njihova zlobnost je velika.
14 Noises have resounded in the valley of judgement: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgement.
Množice, množice v dolini odločitve; kajti dan Gospodov je blizu v dolini odločitve.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
Sonce in luna bosta otemnela in zvezde bodo umaknile svoje svetlikanje.
16 And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.
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.
17 And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwell in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her anymore.
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.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the fountains of Juda shall flow with water, and a fountain shall go forth of the house of the Lord, and water the valley of flags.
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.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea shall be a desolate plain, because of the wrongs of the children of Juda, because they have shed righteous blood in their land.
Egipt bo opustošenje in Edóm bo zapuščena divjina zaradi nasilja zoper Judove otroke, ker so v njihovi deželi prelivali nedolžno kri.
20 But Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.
Toda Juda bo prebival na veke in Jeruzalem od roda do roda.
21 And I will make inquisition for their blood, and will by no means leave it unavenged: and the Lord shall dwell in Sion.
Kajti jaz bom očistil njihovo kri, ki je nisem očistil, kajti Gospod prebiva na Sionu.
