< Joel 3 >

1 “For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
Fa, indro, amin’ ireo andro ireo sy amin’ izany fotoana izany, raha hampodiko ny Joda sy Jerosalema avy amin’ ny fahababoany,
2 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgement on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered amongst the nations. They have divided my land,
Dia hangoniko ny jentilisa rehetra ka ho entiko midìna ao amin’ ny Lohasahan’ i Josafata, ary ao no hifandaharako aminy noho ny amin’ ny Isiraely, oloko sy lovako, izay naeliny tany amin’ ny jentilisa; Ary nozarazarainy ny taniko,
3 and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
Sady nanaovany loka ny oloko, dia zazalahy no nataony takalon’ ny vehivavy janga, ary zazavavy no namidiny divay ka nosotroiny.
4 “Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
Ary ianareo koa, ry Tyro sy Sidona, sy ry tany Filistia rehetra, moa mampaninona Ahy akory ianareo? Hamaly Ahy va ianareo, sa hanahoana Ahy? Faingana dia faingana no hanatsingerenako ny nataonareo ho eo an-dohanareo,
5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
Noho ny natanareo ny volafotsiko sy ny volamenako, sy ny nitondranareo ny zava-tsoako mahafinaritra ho ao amin’ ny tempolinareo;
6 and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
Ary ny zanak’ i Joda sy ny zanak’ i Jerosalema dia namidinareo tamin’ ny zanaky ny Grika, hamindranareo azy hanalavitra ny taniny.
7 Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
Indro, hofohaziko izy hiala ny amin’ ny tany Izay nahaverezany noho ny nahalafosanareo azy, ary hatsingeriko ho eo an-dohanareo ny nataonareo,
8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it.”
Ka hamidiko ho lasan’ ny zanak’ i Joda kosa ny zanakalahinareo sy ny zanakavavinareo, ary hamidiny amin’ ny Sabeana kosa ireny, dia ho an’ izay firenena lavitra; Fa Jehovah no efa niteny.
9 Proclaim this amongst the nations: “Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
Antsoy any amin’ ny jentilisa izany, miantsoa hanao ady masìna, fohazy ny lehilahy mahery, aoka handroso ny mpiady rehetra ka hiakatra;
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’
Tefeo ho sabatra ny fangadinareo, ary ho lefona ny antsinareo fanetezam-boaloboka; Aoka izay kelikely aina hihiaka hoe: Mahery aho!
11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together.” Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
Avia faingana, ianareo jentilisa rehetra avy eny manodidina eny, dia ento midìna ao ny maherinao, Jehovah ô.
12 “Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
Hifoha ny jentilisa ka hiakatra ho ao amin’ ny Lohasahan’ i Josafata; Fa ao no hipetrahako hitsara ny jentilisa rehetra avy eny manodidina eny.
13 Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.”
Arosoy ny fijinjana, fa masaka ny vokatra; Avia ianareo, ka manosihose, fa feno ny famiazam-boaloboka, mihoatra ny vata fanantazana, fa be ny faharatsiany.
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
He izany vahoaka mireondreona ao amin’ ny lohasaha fitsarana! Fa efa antomotra ny andron’ i Jehovah ao amin’ ny lohasaha fitsarana.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Ny masoandro sy ny volana ho tonga maizina, ary ny kintana tsy hamirapiratra,
16 The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
Jehovah mierona ao Ziona, ary mampikotroka ao Jerosalema, ka hihorohoro ny tany aman-danitra; Fa Jehovah no fialofan’ ny olony sy fiarovana mafy ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
17 “So you will know that I am the LORD, your God, dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
Ary dia ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay monina ao Ziona, tendrombohitro masìna; Dia ho masìna Jerosalema, ary ny hafa firenena tsy mba handeha hamaky eo intsony.
18 It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; and a fountain will flow out from the LORD’s house, and will water the valley of Shittim.
Amin’ izany andro izany dia hipoipoitra ranom-boaloboka ny tendrombohitra, handriaka ronono ny havoana, ho feno rano ny lohasahan-driak’ i Joda rehetra, ary hisy loharano hivoaka avy ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ka handena ny lohasahan-driak’ i Sitima.
19 Egypt will be a desolation and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Egypta kosa ho tonga tany lao, ary Edoma ho efitra foana, noho ny fampahoriana ny taranak’ i Joda, dia ny nandatsahany rà marina teo amin’ ny taniny.
20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Fa Joda honenana mandrakizay, ary Jerosalema hatramin’ ny taranaka fara mandimby.
21 I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed, for the LORD dwells in Zion.”
Ary hamaly ny rà marina izay tsy mbola novaliako Aho; Fa Jehovah monina ao Ziona.
