Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days and in that time, when I will have converted the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
“E ndalogo kendo e sano, ka anadwok ni Juda gi Jerusalem mwandugi mane olalnegi.
2 I will gather all the Gentiles, and will lead them into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And there I will dispute with them over my people, and over Israel, my inheritance, for they have scattered them among the nations and have divided my land.
Abiro choko pinje duto mi akelgi mwalo e Holo mar paw Jehoshafat. Kanyono ema anangʼad nigi e bura, kuom girkeni mara, ma gin joga ma jo-Israel, nikech negikeyo joga e kind pinje kendo gikawo pinya gipogo.
3 And they have cast lots over my people; and the boy they have placed in the brothel, and the girl they have sold for wine, so that they might drink.
Negigoyo ombulu kuom joga kendo negiloko ohala mar hono yawuowi ka giwilo gi ochode; nyiri to negiuso ka giwilo gi divai, mondo gimadhi.
4 Truly, what is there between you and me, Tyre and Sidon and all the distant places of the Philistines? How will you take vengeance on me? And if you were to revenge yourselves against me, I would deliver a repayment to you, quickly and soon, upon your head.
“Yaye, jo-Turo gi jo-Sidon, kod joma odak e gwenge mag Filistia, ulawa nangʼo? Koso uchulona kuor nikech gimoro masetimo? Ka uchulona kuor to abiro dwoko timbeu e wiwu uwegi kuom gima usetimo moruyore kendo mapiyo.
5 For you have carried away my silver and gold. And my desirable and most beautiful, you have taken into your shrines.
Nimar usekawo fedha gi dhahabu mara, kendo usedar gi mwanduga mabeyo mogik e hekalu mau.
6 And you, sons of Judah and sons of Jerusalem, you have sold the sons of the Greeks, so that you might drive them far from their own territory.
Ne uuso jo-Juda gi Jerusalem ne jo-Yunani, eka utergi mabor gi pinygi mane onywolgie.
7 Behold, I will raise them up from the place into which you have sold them, and I will turn back your retribution on your own head.
“Neuru, abiro wakogi ka agologi kuonde mane uusogie, kendo naket e wiwu uwegi gima usetimo.
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, a distant nation, for the Lord has spoken.
Abiro miyo jo-Juda ngʼiewo yawuotu, gin to giniusgi ne jo-Sabea, ma en piny mabor miwuoro,” Jehova Nyasaye osewacho.
9 Proclaim this among the Gentiles: “Sanctify a war, raise up the strong. Approach, ascend, all men of war.
Landuru wachni e dier pinje, Ikreuru ne lweny! Jolweny magu duto oikre ne kedo! Jokedo duto mondo osudre machiegni mondo gitug lweny.
10 Cut your ploughs into swords and your hoes into spears. Let the weak say, ‘For I am strong.’
Thedhuru kwe mau olokre ligengni, to rabeti mau obed tonge. Ngʼat ma ngoro mondo owach niya, “An gi teko!”
11 Break out and advance, all nations of the world, and gather together. There the Lord will cause all your strong ones to meet death.”
Biuru piyo, un ogendini duto moa kuonde duto, mondo uchokru kanyo. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye kel jokedo magi olor kanyo!
12 Let them arise and ascend to the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit, so as to judge all the nations of the world.
“Pinje mondo owakre, gichom Holo mar Jehoshafat, nikech anabed kanyo mondo angʼad bura ne pinje duto moa koni gi koni.
13 Send forth the sickles, because the harvest has matured. Advance and descend, for the press is full, the pressing room is overflowing. For their malice has been increasing.
Runduru musmeno, nikech cham ochiek. Biuru, unyon yiend Zeituni nikech kar biyo mzabibu opongʼ, kendo degni opongʼ mopukore. Mano kaka timbegi maricho dongo!”
14 Nations, nations in the valley of being cut to pieces: for the day of the Lord fittingly takes place in the valley of being cut to pieces.
Mano oganda maduongʼ manade, mano kaka gingʼeny ka ginie holo ma en kar ngʼado bura! Nikech odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye chiegni chopo e holo mar ngʼado paro.
15 The sun and the moon have been darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their splendor.
Chiengʼ gi dwe nolokre mudho, kendo sulwe ok nochak orieny.
16 And the Lord will roar from Zion and utter his voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth will be moved. And the Lord will be the hope of his people and the strength of the sons of Israel.
Jehova Nyasaye noruti koa Sayun kendo nomor koa Jerusalem. Piny gi Polo noyiengni; to Jehova Nyasaye nobed kar pondo mar joge; nobed ragengʼ ne jo-Israel.
17 And you will know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will not cross through it anymore.
“Eka unungʼe ni An, Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachu, adak e Sayun, goda maler. Jerusalem nobed kama ler, ogendini mamoko ok nochak omonje kendo.
18 And it will happen, in that day, that the mountains will drip sweetness, and the hills will flow with milk. And the waters will pass through all the rivers of Judah. And a fountain will go forth from the house of the Lord, and it will irrigate the desert of thorns.
“Odiechiengʼno divai manyien nochwer kawuok ewi gode; kendo chak nomol kawuok ewi thuche, holo mag pi nopongʼ chuth. Soko nomol koa e od Jehova Nyasaye kendo pi moaye sokono biro mol e holo mar Shitim.
19 Egypt will be in desolation, and Edom will be a wilderness destroyed, because of what they have unfairly done to the sons of Judah, and because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Misri nobed piny ma ji odar oweyo, kendo Edom nobed piny ongoro maonge tich, nikech timbe mahundu mane otimone jo-Juda, mane gichweroe remo maonge ketho e pinygi.
20 And Judea will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem for generation upon generation.
Juda nobed kama ji odakie nyaka chiengʼ kendo Jerusalem bende tienge gi tienge.
21 And I will cleanse their blood, which I had not cleansed. And the Lord will remain in Zion.
Kethogi mar chwero remo mapok aweyonegi, abiro weyonegi.”
