Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days and in that time, when I will have converted the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
觀よ我ユダとヱルサレムの俘囚人を歸さん その日その時
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.
萬國の民を集め之を携へてヨシヤパテの谷にくだりかしこにて我民我ゆづりの產なるイスラエルのために彼らをさばかん 彼らこれを國々に散してその地を分ち取りたればなり
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.
彼らは籤をひきて我民を取り童子を娼妓に換へ童女を賣り酒に換て飮めり
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.
ツロ、シドンよベリシテのすべての國よ 汝ら我と何のかかはりあらんや 汝ら我がなししことに返をなさんとするや 若し我に返報をなさんとならば我忽ち迅速に汝らがなししことをもてその首に歸らしめん
5 For you have carried away my silver and gold. And my desirable and most beautiful, you have taken into your shrines.
是は汝らは我の金銀を取り我のしたふべき寶を汝らの宮にたづさへゆき
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.
またユダの人とヱルサレムの人をギリシヤ人に賣りてその本國より遠く離らせたればなり
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.
視よ我かられを起して汝らが賣りたる處より出し汝らがなししことをもてその首にかへらしめん
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.
我はなんぢらの男子女子をユダの人の手に賣り彼らは之を遠き民なるシバ人に賣らん ヱホバこれを言ふ
9 Proclaim this among the Gentiles: “Sanctify a war, raise up the strong. Approach, ascend, all men of war.
もろもろの國に宣つたへよ 戰爭の準備を爲し勇士をはげまし軍人をことごとくちかより來らしめよ
10 Cut your ploughs into swords and your hoes into spears. Let the weak say, ‘For I am strong.’
汝等の鋤を劍に打かへ汝らの鎌を鎗に打かへよ 弱き者も我は強しと言へ
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.”
四周の國々の民よ汝ら急ぎ上りて集れ ヱホバよ汝の勇士をかしこに降したまへ
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.
國々の民よ起て上りヨシヤパテの谷に至れ 彼處に我座をしめて四周の國々の民をことごとく鞫かん
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.
鎌をいれよ 穀物は熟せり 來り踏めよ酒榨は盈ち甕は溢る 彼らの惡大なればなりと
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.
かまびすしきかな無數の民審判の谷にありてかまびすし ヱホバの日審判の谷に近づくが故なり
15 The sun and the moon have been darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their splendor.
日も月も暗くなり星その光明を失ふ
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.
ヱホバ、シオンよりよびとどろかしヱルサレムより聲をはなち天地を震ひうごかしたまふ 然れどヱホバはその民の避所イスラエルの子孫の城となりたまはん
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.
かくて汝ら我はヱホバ汝等の神にして我聖山シオンに住むことをしるべし ヱルサレムは聖き所となり他國の人は重ねてその中をかよふまじ
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.
その日山にあたらしき酒滴り岡に乳流れユダのもろもろの河に水流れヱホバの家より泉水流れいでてシッテムの谷に灌がん
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.
エジプトは荒すたれエドムは荒野とならん 是はかれらユダの子孫を虐げ辜なき者の血をその國に流したればなり
20 And Judea will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem for generation upon generation.
されどユダは永久にすまひヱルサレムは世々に保たん
21 And I will cleanse their blood, which I had not cleansed. And the Lord will remain in Zion.
我さきにはかれらが流しし血の罪を報いざりしが今はこれをむくいん ヱホバ、シオンに住みたまはん
