Joel 2

1 Give a blast on a ram's horn in Zion and sound a battle signal on [the] mountain of holiness my let them tremble all [the] inhabitants of the land for [is] about to come [the] day of Yahweh for [it is] near.

2 A day of darkness and gloom a day of cloud and thick darkness like dawn spread out over the mountains a people numerous and mighty like it not it has occurred since antiquity and after it not it will repeat until years of a generation and a generation.

3 Before it it has consumed fire and after it it sets ablaze a flame [is] like [the] garden of Eden the land before it and after it a wilderness of desolation and also escape not it belongs to it.

4 [is] like [the] appearance of Horses appearance its and like horsemen so they run!

5 Like [the] sound of chariots over [the] tops of the mountains they leap! like [the] sound of a flame of fire consuming stubble like a people mighty deployed of battle.

6 From before it they are in anguish peoples all faces they gather a glow.

7 Like warriors they run! like men of war they go up a wall and each on ways its they go! and not they exchange! paths their.

8 And each brother its not they crowd! a man on track its they go! and through the weapon[s] they fall not they stop.

9 On the city they rush on the wall they run! in the houses they go up through the windows they go like thief.

10 Before it it trembles [the] earth they shake [the] heavens sun and moon they become dark and [the] stars they withdraw brightness their.

11 And Yahweh he gives forth voice his before army his for [is] great very camp his for [is] mighty [the] [one who] does word his for [is] great [the] day of Yahweh and awesome exceedingly and who? will he endure it.

12 And also now [the] utterance of Yahweh return to me with all heart your and with fasting and with weeping and with wailing.

13 And tear heart your and may not [it be] garments your and return to Yahweh God your for [is] gracious and compassionate he long of anger and great of covenant loyalty and relenting on harm.

14 Who? [is] knowing he will turn and he will relent and he will leave behind him a blessing a grain offering and a drink offering for Yahweh God your.

15 Give a blast on a ram's horn in Zion consecrate a fast call an assembly.

16 Gather [the] people consecrate an assembly gather [the] elders gather children and sucking children of breasts let him go out [the] bridegroom from room his and [the] bride from chamber her.

17 Between the porch and to the altar let them weep the priests [the] servants of Yahweh and let them say have compassion! O Yahweh on people your and may not you make inheritance your into a reproach to mock on them nations why? will people say among the peoples where? [is] God their.

18 And he became jealous Yahweh for land his and he had compassion on people his.

19 And he answered Yahweh and he said to people his here I [am] about to send to you grain and new wine and fresh oil and you will be satisfied with it and not I will make you again a reproach among the nations.

20 And the northerner[s] I will remove far away from with you and I will drive away it into a land dry and desolation face its into the sea eastern and end its into the sea western and it will go up stench its and it will go up foul smell its for he has made great to do.

21 May not you fear O land be glad and rejoice for he has made great Yahweh to do.

22 May not you fear O animals of [the] field for they are green [the] pastures of [the] wilderness for [the] tree[s] it has borne fruit its [the] fig tree and [the] vine they have given strength their.

23 And O people of Zion be glad and rejoice in Yahweh God your for he has given to you the early rain for righteousness and he has sent down for you rain early rain and spring rain in the first [month].

24 And they will be full the threshing floors grain and they will overflow the wine-vats new wine and fresh oil.

25 And I will restore to you the years which it has eaten the locust[s] the locust[s] and the locust[s] and the locust[s] army my great which I sent among you.

26 And you will eat completely and being satisfied and you will praise [the] name of Yahweh God your who he has dealt with you by doing wonderfully and not they will be ashamed people my for ever.

27 And you will know that [am] in [the] midst of Israel I and I [am] Yahweh God your and there not [is] yet and not they will be ashamed people my for ever.

28 And it will be after thus I will pour out spirit my on all flesh and they will prophesy sons your and daughters your old [men] your dreams they will dream! young men your visions they will see.

29 And also on the [male] servants and on the female servants in the days those I will pour out spirit my.

30 And I will put wonders in the heavens and on the earth blood and fire and columns of smoke.

31 The sun it will be changed into darkness and the moon into blood before comes [the] day of Yahweh great and awesome.

32 And it will be every [one] who he will call on [the] name of Yahweh he will escape for on [the] mountain of Zion and in Jerusalem it will be an escaped remnant just as he has said Yahweh and among the survivors whom Yahweh [will be] calling.
