Joēla 2
1 Bazūnējiet ar bazūni Ciānā, un lai skan stipri Manā svētā kalnā; lai visi zemes iedzīvotāji dreb, jo Tā Kunga diena nāk, jo tā ir tuvu:
Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of YHWH is coming, for it is near.
2 Melna un tumša diena, apmākusies un miglaina diena. Kā rīta blāzma izplešas pār kalniem, tā liela un varena tauta, kāda nemūžam nav bijusi un pēc vairs nemūžam nebūs uz radu radiem.
A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As blackness spreading on the mountains a great and powerful people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even after the years of many generations.
3 Viņas priekšā rij uguns, un viņai nopakaļ deg liesma; zeme viņas priekšā ir kā Ēdenes dārzs, bet aiz viņas tukša posta vieta; neviens no tās nevar izbēgt.
A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.
4 Viņu ģīmis ir kā zirgu ģīmis, un kā jātnieki, tāpat viņi skrien.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen, so do they run.
5 Tie atlec pa kalnu virsgaliem, kā rati rīb, kā uguns liesma sprēgā, kas rugājus aprij, kā varena tauta, kas apbruņota uz karu.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a mighty people drawn up for battle.
6 Viņu ieraudzīdami, ļaudis iztrūcinājās, visu vaigu sārtums nobāl.
At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
7 Tie skrien kā varoņi, kā kara vīri tie uzkāpj uz mūriem; un tie ikviens iet pa savu ceļu un neatkāpjās no savas tekas.
They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they do not swerve off course.
8 Tie nespiež viens otru, ikviens staigā savā kārtā, un jebšu krīt kara ieročos, tomēr tie netop aizturēti.
Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and do not break ranks.
9 Tie staigā pa pilsētu, tie skrien pa mūriem, tie iekāpj namos, tie nāk caur logiem iekšā kā zaglis.
They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
10 Viņas priekšā dreb zeme, debess trīc, saule un mēnesis aptumšojās, un zvaigznes ierauj savu spožumu.
The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
11 Un Tas Kungs paceļ Savu balsi Sava karaspēka priekšā, jo Viņa lēģeris ir varen liels, jo varens ir Viņa vārda izdarītājs, jo Tā Kunga diena ir liela un ļoti briesmīga, - kas to var panest?
YHWH thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of YHWH is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
12 Bet arī tagad Tas Kungs saka: atgriežaties pie Manis ar visu savu sirdi, un ar gavēšanu un ar raudāšanu un ar nožēlošanu.
"Yet even now," says YHWH, "turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."
13 Un saplēšat savas sirdis un ne savas drēbes, un atgriežaties pie Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, jo viņš ir laipnīgs un sirdsžēlīgs, lēnprātīgs un no lielas žēlastības, un viņam ir žēl par to postu.
Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to YHWH, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
14 Kas zin, varbūt ka Viņš atgriezīsies, un Viņam būs žēl, un atstās svētību aiz Sevis, ēdamu upuri un dzeramu upuri priekš Tā Kunga, jūsu Dieva!
Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to YHWH, your God.
15 Bazūnējiet ar bazūni Ciānā, svētījiet gavēni, izsauciet sapulces dienu.
Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.
16 Sapulcinājiet ļaudis, svētījiet draudzi, sapulcinājiet vecajus, sasauciet bērniņus un zīdāmos pie krūtīm. Lai brūtgāns iet no sava kambara un brūte no savas vietas.
Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride out of her chamber.
17 Starp priekšnamu un altāri lai raud priesteri, Tā Kunga sulaiņi, un lai saka: ak Kungs, žēlo Savus ļaudis un nenodod Savu mantību par nievāšanu, ka pagāni tos neapsmej! Kādēļ starp tautām būs sacīt: kur viņu Dievs?
Let the priests, the ministers of YHWH, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, "Spare your people, YHWH, and do not give your heritage to mockery, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"
18 Tad Tas Kungs iekarsa Savas zemes pēc un saudzēja Savus ļaudis.
Then YHWH was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.
19 Un Tas Kungs atbildēja un sacīja uz Saviem ļaudīm: redzi, Es jums sūtīšu labību un vīnu un eļļu, ka jūs ar to topat pieēdināti, un Es jūs vairs nenodošu par nievāšanu starp pagāniem.
YHWH answered his people, "Look, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will eat and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
20 Un Es atstādināšu tālu no jums to ziemeļnieku un to aizdzīšu sakaltušā un tukšā zemē, viņa priekšējus(pulkus) rīta jūrā un viņa pakaļējus(pulkus) vakara jūrā. Un viņa smarža kāps uz augšu, un viņa smirdums uzcelsies, jo viņš lielījās savos darbos.
But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise." Surely he has done great things.
21 Nebīsties, zeme! Priecājies un esi līksma, jo Tas Kungs dara lielas lietas.
Land, do not be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for YHWH has done great things.
22 Nebīstaties, zvēri laukā! Jo ganības tuksnesī atkal nesīs jaunu zāli, jo koki nesīs savus augļus, vīna koks un vīģes koks izdos savu spēku.
Do not be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23 Un Ciānas bērni, priecājaties un līksmojaties iekš Tā Kunga, sava Dieva! Jo Viņš jums dos taisnības mācītāju un jums sūtīs lietu, agro lietu un vēlo lietu kā papriekš.
"Be glad then, you people of Zion, and rejoice in YHWH, your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
24 Un kloni būs pilni labības, un spaidi pārtecēs no vīna un eļļas.
The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
25 Tā Es jums atmaksāšu tos gadus, ko siseņi, vaboles un kukaiņi un kāpuri ir noēduši, Mans lielais karaspēks, ko Es jums biju sūtījis.
I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
26 Un jūs ēdin ēdīsiet un pieēdīsities un slavēsiet Tā Kunga, sava Dieva, vārdu, kas brīnišķi jums ir darījis, un Mani ļaudis netaps kaunā ne mūžam.
You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of YHWH, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never be put to shame.
27 Un jūs manīsiet, ka Es esmu Israēla vidū, un ka Es esmu Tas Kungs, jūsu Dievs, un cits neviens, un Mani ļaudis netaps kaunā ne mūžam.
You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am YHWH, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never be put to shame.
28 Pēc tam tas notiks, ka Es Savu Garu izliešu pār visu miesu, un jūsu dēli un jūsu meitas sludinās praviešu mācību, jūsu vecaji sapņos sapņus, jūsu jaunekļi redzēs parādīšanas.
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.
29 Arī pār kalpiem un pār kalponēm Es izliešu Savu Garu tanīs dienās.
And also on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 Un Es darīšu brīnumus debesīs un zemes virsū, asinis un uguni un dūmu tvaiku.
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 Saule taps pārvērsta par tumsību un mēnesis par asinīm, pirms nekā nāks Tā Kunga lielā un bijājamā diena.
The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of YHWH comes.
32 Un notiks, ka ikviens, kas Tā Kunga vārdu piesauks, taps izglābts. Jo Ciānas kalnā un Jeruzālemē būs glābšana, kā Tas Kungs ir runājis, un pie tiem atlikušiem būs tie, ko Tas Kungs aicinās.
And it will happen that whoever will call on the name of YHWH shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as YHWH has said, and among the remnant, those whom YHWH calls.
