< Joel 2 >

1 Sound the trumpet in Sion, make a proclamation in my holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded: for the day of the Lord is near;
Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken pagunienyo ti tangguyob iti nasantoan a bantayko! Agpigerger koma iti buteng dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga, ta umadanin ti aldaw ni Yahweh; pudno nga asidegen daytoy.
2 for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist: a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been from the beginning one like it, and after it there shall not be again even to the years of many generations.
Daytoy ket aldaw iti kinasipnget ken kinalidem, aldaw a naulep ken nalulem. Kas iti parbangon nga agsaknap kadagiti bantay, sumungsungaden ti dakkel ken nabileg nga armada. Awan pay ti armada a kas iti daytoy, ken awanton ti kastoy, uray kalpasan iti adu a henerasion.
3 Before them is a consuming fire, and behind them is a flame kindled: the land before them is as a paradise of delight, and behind them a desolate plain: and there shall none of them escape.
Ikiskisap ti apuy ti amin a banag iti sangoananna, ken adda gil-ayab iti likudan. Ti daga ket kas iti minoyungan ti Eden iti sangoananna, ngem iti likudanna ket adda iti nadadael a let-ang. Pudno, awanto ti makalibas iti daytoy.
4 Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
Kasla kabalio ti langa ti armada, ken kasla kumakabalio ti panagtarayda.
5 As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble, and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle.
Kumaradakad ti panaglagtoda a kasla kadagiti karuahe iti tuktok dagiti bantay, kasla iti uni ti gumilgil-ayab nga apuy a mangikiskisap iti garami, kasla iti nabileg nga armada a nakasagana a makigubat.
6 Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a caldron.
Iti isusungadda, agbuteng dagiti tattao ken pummusyaw dagiti rupada.
7 As warriors shall they run, and as men of war shall they mount on the walls; and each shall move in his [right] path, and they shall not turn aside from their tracks:
Ti panagtarayda ket kasla iti nabileg a mannakigubat; kumalay-atda kadagiti pader a kasla kadagiti soldado; agmarmartsada, aggigiddan ti addangda, ken naurnos dagiti linyada.
8 and not one shall stand aloof from his brother: they shall go on weighed down with their arms, and they fall upon their weapons, yet shall they in no wise be destroyed.
Awan ti agdidinnuron; agmarmartsa ti tunggal maysa iti dalanna; lumasatda kadagiti sarikedked ket saan a madadael ti linyada.
9 They shall seize upon the city, and run upon the walls, and go up upon the houses, and enter in through the windows as thieves.
Sipapardasda a mangraut iti siudad, tumarayda kadagiti pader, kumalay-atda kadagiti babbalay, ket sumrekda kadagiti tawa a kasla kadagiti agtatakaw.
10 Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
Agkintayeg ti daga iti sangoananda, agpigerger dagiti langit, simmepnget ti init ken bulan, ken saanen nga agraniag dagiti bituen.
11 And the Lord shall utter his voice before his host: for his camp is very great: for the execution of his words is mighty: for the day of the Lord is great, very glorious, and who shall be able to [resist] it?
Binilin ni Yahweh ti armadana, ta nagadu unay dagiti mannakigubatna ken nabilegda, dagiti agtungtungpal kadagiti bilbilinna. Ta kasta unay a nakabutbuteng ti aldaw ni Yahweh. Siasino ngay koma ti makalasat iti daytoy?
12 Now therefore, says the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
Kuna ni Yahweh, “Ngem uray pay ita, agsublikayo kaniak iti amin a pusoyo. Agayunar, agsangit, ken agladingitkayo.”
13 and rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
Ipakitayo ti sipupuso a panagbabawiyo ken saan laeng nga iti panangray-abyo kadagiti kawesyo, ket agsublikayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Ta naasi ken managparabur isuna, saan a nalaka nga agunget ngem ketdi napnoan iti ayat, ken saannatayo koma a kayat a dusaen.
14 Who knows if he will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meat-offering and a drink-offering to the Lord your God?
Siasino ngay koma ti makaammo? No ngay agbaliw ti pangngeddengna ket maasian isuna, ken mangted isuna kadagiti bendision, daton a bukbukel ken daton a mainum nga agpaay kenni Yahweh a Diosyo?
15 Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
Pagunienyo ti trumpeta idiay Sion, ken agayunarkayo, ket mangangaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong.
16 gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants at the breast: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Ummongenyo dagiti tattao, mang-angaykayo iti nasantoan a gimong. Ummongenyo dagiti panglakayen, ummongenyo dagiti ubbing, ken dagiti maladaga. Paruarenyo dagiti nobio kadagiti siledda ken paruarenyo dagiti nobia kadagiti siled a pagur-urayanda iti seremonia ti kasar.
17 Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare your people, O Lord, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?
Agsangit koma dagiti papadi nga agserserbi kenni Yahweh iti nagbaetan ti pagserkan ken ti altar. Kunaenda koma, “O Yahweh, kaasiam dagiti tattaom ket saanmo nga ipalubos a maibabain dagiti tattaom a maiyarig a tawidmo, ket iturayan ida dagiti nasion. Apay nga ibaga dagiti nasion, ayanna ngayen ti Diosda?''
18 But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
Kalpasanna, impakita ni Yahweh ti panangipategna iti dagana ket kinaasianna dagiti tattaona.
19 And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach among the Gentiles.
Insungbat ni Yahweh kadagiti tattaona: “Adtoy, ikkankayo kadagiti bukel, baro nga arak, ken lana. Mapnekkayonto kadagitoy, ken saankonton nga itulok a maibabainkayo kadagiti nasion.
20 And I will chase away from you the northern [adversary], and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his ill savor shall come up, and his stink come up, because he has wrought great things.
Ipanawkonto kadakayo dagiti mangdarup a naggapu iti amianan, ket iturongko ida iti namaga ken langalang a daga. Agturong dagiti akin-sango nga armadada iti baybay iti daya, ken ti akinlikud nga armada iti baybay iti laud. Umalingasawdanto ken sumngawto dagiti bangsitda. Agaramidakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
21 Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord has done great things.
Saanka nga agbuteng, daga, agragsak ken agrag-oka, ta nagaramid ni Yahweh kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banbanag.
22 Be of good courage, you beasts of the plain, for the plains of the wilderness have budded, for the trees have borne their fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded their strength.
Saankayo nga agbuteng, dakayo nga atap nga ay-ayup iti tay-ak, ta agtubonto dagiti ruruot iti pagaraban kadagiti let-ang, agbunganto dagiti kaykayo, ket umadunto ti apit kadagiti igos ken ubas.
23 Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Sion, in the Lord your God: for he has given you food fully, and he will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.
Agragsakayo, tattao ti Sion, ken agrag-okayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Ta pagtuduennanto iti umno a tiempo ket agbayakabak ti tudo para kadakayo, ti tudo iti tiempo ti panagrurusing ken tiempo ti panagregreg iti bulong a kas idi damo.
24 And the floors shall be filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
Mapnonto iti trigo dagiti pagirikan, ken aglippiasto dagiti pagkargaan iti baro nga arak ken lana.
25 And I will recompense you for the years which the locust, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, and the cankerworm have eaten, [even] my great army, which I sent against you.
“Isublikto kadakayo dagiti mula nga inay-aywananyo iti adu a tawen a kinnan dagiti nagsasaruno a pangen dagiti dudon, ti nabileg nga armadak nga imbaonko kadakayo.
26 And you shall eat abundantly, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God [for the things] which he has wrought wonderfully with you: and my people shall not be ashamed for ever.
Mangankayonto iti adu ket mabsogkayo, ken dayawenyo ti nagan ni Yahweh a Diosyo a nagaramid kadagiti nakaskasdaaw kadakayo. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
27 And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I am the Lord your God, and [that] there is none else beside me; and my people shall no more be ashamed for ever.
Maammoanyonto nga addaak iti Israel, ket Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, ken awanen ti sabali. Saankonton nga ibabain dagiti tattaok.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
Iti mabiit, ibukbukkonto ti Espirituk kadagiti amin a lasag, ket agipadtonto dagiti annakyo a lallaki ken babbai. Agtagtagainepto dagiti panglakayenyo, makakitanto iti sirmata dagiti agtutuboyo a lallaki.
29 And on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
Kadagidiay nga aldaw, ibukbukkonto met ti Espirituk kadagiti adipen a lallaki ken babbai.
30 And I will show wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
Mangipakitaakto kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw iti langit ken iti daga, dara, apuy ken dagiti adigi nga asuk.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
Sumipngetto ti init ken lumabbaganto ti bulan a kasla iti dara, sakbay a dumteng ti nakabutbuteng unay nga aldaw ni Yahweh.
32 And it shall come to pass [that] whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion and in Jerusalem shall the saved one be as the Lord has said, and they that have glad tidings preached to them, whom the Lord has called.
Iti dayta a tiempo, maisalakanto dagiti amin nga umawag iti nagan ni Yahweh. Ta addanto dagiti makalasat idiay Bantay Sion ken idiay Jerusalem, a kas imbaga ni Yahweh, ket makalasatto dagiti pinili ni Yahweh.
