Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Quia ecce in diebus illis, et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda, et Ierusalem:
2 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Congregabo omnes Gentes, et deducam eas in vallem Iosaphat: et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo, et hereditate mea Israel, quos disperserunt in nationibus, et terram meam diviserunt.
3 and they have cast lots for my people: and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Et super populum meum miserunt sortem: et posuerunt puerum in prostibulo, et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent.
4 Yea, and what are ye to me, [O] Tyre, and Zidon, and all the regions of Philistia? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head.
Verum quid mihi et vobis Tyrus et Sidon, et omnis terminus Palaesthinorum? numquid ultionem vos reddetis mihi? et si ulciscimini vos contra me, cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum.
5 Forasmuch as ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things;
Argentum enim meum, et aurum tulistis: et desiderabilia mea, et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra.
6 the children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border:
Et filios Iuda, et filios Ierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum, ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.
7 behold, I will stir them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head;
Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco, in quo vendidistis eos: et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.
8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Et vendam filios vestros, et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda, et venundabunt eos Sabaeis genti longinquae, quia Dominus locutus est.
9 Proclaim ye this among the nations; prepare war: stir up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
Clamate hoc in Gentibus, sanctificate bellum, suscitate robustos: accedant, ascendant omnes viri bellatores.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Concidite aratra vestra in gladios, et ligones vestros in lanceas. Infirmus dicat: Quia fortis ego sum.
11 Haste ye, and come, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves together: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
Erumpite, et venite omnes gentes de circuitu, et congregamini: ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.
12 Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about.
Consurgant, et ascendant Gentes in vallem Iosaphat: quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu.
13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, tread ye; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Mittite falces, quoniam maturavit messis: venite, et descendite, quia plenum est torcular, exuberant torcularia: quia multiplicata est malitia eorum.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Populi populi in valle concisionis: quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum.
16 And the LORD shall roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake, but the LORD will be a refuge unto his people, and a strong hold to the children of Israel.
Et Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Ierusalem dabit vocem suam: et movebuntur caeli, et terra: et Dominus spes populi sui, et fortitudo filiorum Israel.
17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God, dwelling in Zion my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
Et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion monte sancto meo. et erit Ierusalem sancta, et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Et erit in die illa: stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et colles fluent lacte: et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae: et fons de domo Domini egredietur, et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Aegyptus in desolationem erit, et Idumaea in desertum perditionis: pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda, et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua.
20 But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur, et Ierusalem in generatione et generationem.
21 And I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram: et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.
