< Joel 1 >

1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Phatuel.
Daytoy ti sao ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Joel a putot ni Petuel.
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land: did this ever happen in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo a panglakayen, ken dumngegkayo, dakayo amin nga agnanaed iti daga. Adda kadin kastoy a napasamak iti panawenyo wenno iti panawen dagiti kapuonanyo?
3 Tell ye of this to your children, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.
Ibagayo kadagiti annakyo ti maipapan iti daytoy, ken ibaganto met dagiti annakyo kadagiti annakda, ken ibaganto met dagiti annakda kadagiti sumaruno a henerasion.
4 That which the palmerworm hath left, the locust hath eaten: and that which the locust hath left, the bruchus hath eaten: and that which the bruchus hath left, the mildew hath destroyed.
Nagsasaruno a pangen ti dudon ti immay nangan kadagiti mula, ti natda ti umuna a pangen dagiti dudon, kinnan dagiti simmaruno a pangen dagiti dudon.
5 Awake, ye that are drunk, and weep, and mourn all ye that take delight in drinking sweet wine: for it is cut off from your mouth.
Agriingkayo, dakayo a mammartek, ket agsangitkayo! Aganug-ogkayo, dakayo amin a managinum iti arak, gapu ta naibusankayon kadagiti nasam-it nga arak.
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong and without number: his teeth are like the teeth of a lion: and his cheek teeth as of a lion’s whelp.
Ta adda nasion a nangraut iti dagak, nabileg ken saan a mabilang. Dagiti ngipenna ket kas kadagiti ngipen ti leon, ken addaan isuna iti ngipen ti babai a leon.
7 He hath laid my vineyard waste, and hath pilled off the bark of my fig tree: he hath stripped it bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
Pinagbalinna ti kaubasak a nakabutbuteng a lugar ken inukkisanna dagiti kayok nga igos. Inukkisanna sana imbelleng dagitoy; pimmuraw dagiti sangada.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Agladingitkayo a kas iti maysa a birhen a nagkawes iti nakersang a lupot gapu iti ipapatay ti pakayasawaanna.
9 Sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of the Lord: the priests, the Lord’s ministers, have mourned:
Naibusen ti daton a bukel ken daton a mainum iti balay ni Yahweh. Nagladingit dagiti papadi nga adipen ni Yahweh.
10 The country is destroyed, the ground hath mourned: for the corn is wasted, the wine is confounded, the oil hath languished.
Nadadaelen dagiti taltalon, ket agladladingit ti daga. Ta nadadaelen dagiti bukbukel, natianan ti baro nga arak, ken nabangles ti lana.
11 The husbandmen are ashamed, the vinedressers have howled for the wheat, and for the barley, because the harvest of the field is perished.
Agbainkayo, dakayo a mannalon, ken aganug-ogkayo, dakayo a mangay-aywan iti kaubasan, gapu iti trigo ken sebada. Ta nadadael ti apit kadagiti taltalon.
12 The vineyard is confounded, and the fig tree hath languished: the pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the apple tree, and all the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withdrawn from the children of men.
Nalaylay dagiti lanut ken nagango dagiti kayo nga igos, dagiti kayo a granada, kasta met dagiti kayo a palma, ken dagiti kayo a mansanas- nalaylay amin a kayo iti talon. Ta napukawen ti rag-o dagiti kaputotan ti sangkataoan.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, O ye priests, howl, ye ministers of the altars: go in, lie in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: because sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of your God.
Agkaweskayo iti nakersang a lupot ket agladingitkayo, dakayo a papadi! Aganug-ogkayo, dakayo nga agserserbi iti altar. Umaykayo, agiddakayo nga agpatpatnag a sikakawes iti nakersang a lupot, dakayo nga adipen ti Diosko. Ta naibusen dagiti daton a bukbukel ken dagiti daton a mainum iti balay ti Diosyo.
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call an assembly; gather together the ancients, all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God: and cry ye to the Lord:
Mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a panagayunar, ket mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong. Ummongenyo dagiti panglakayen ken dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga iti balay ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket umasugkayo kenni Yahweh.
15 Ah, ah, ah, for the day: because the day of the Lord is at hand, and it shall come like destruction from the mighty.
Anian a nakabutbuteng nga aldaw! Ta umadanin ti aldaw ni Yahweh. Iti daytoy nga aldaw, iyegto ti Mannakabalin-amin ti pannakadadael.
16 Is not your food cut off before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Saan kadi a napukawen dagiti taraon iti imatangtayo, ken naawanen ti rag-o ken ragsak iti balay ti Diostayo?
17 The beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are broken down: because the corn is confounded.
Nalungtot dagiti bukel kadagiti nakaimulaanda, naibusen ti naggian dagiti sarusa ken narban dagiti kamalig, ta nalaylay dagiti mula.
18 Why did the beast groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.
Anian ti panagasug dagiti ayup! Agsagsagaba dagiti arban ti baka gapu ta awan ti pagarabanda. Agsagsagaba met dagiti arban dagiti karnero.
19 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: because fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness, and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the country.
O, Yahweh, umas-asugak kenka. Ta inkisap ti apuy dagiti pagpaaraban idiay let-ang, ken inuram ti gil-ayab dagiti amin a kayo kadagiti tay-ak.
20 Yea and the beasts of the field have looked up to thee, as a garden bed that thirsteth after rain, for the springs of waters are dried up, and fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness.
Uray pay dagiti ayup iti tay-ak ket agpakpakaasi kenka, ta natianan dagiti waig ken inkisap ti apuy dagiti pagpaaraban idiay let-ang.
