Joël Propheta 1
1 verbum Domini quod factum est ad Iohel filium Fatuhel
The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 audite hoc senes et auribus percipite omnes habitatores terrae si factum est istud in diebus vestris aut in diebus patrum vestrorum
Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3 super hoc filiis vestris narrate et filii vestri filiis suis et filii eorum generationi alterae
Tell you your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4 residuum erucae comedit lucusta et residuum lucustae comedit bruchus et residuum bruchi comedit rubigo
That which the palmerworm has left has the locust eaten; and that which the locust has left has the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm has left has the caterpillar eaten.
5 expergescimini ebrii et flete et ululate omnes qui bibitis vinum in dulcedine quoniam periit ab ore vestro
Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and howl, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 gens enim ascendit super terram meam fortis et innumerabilis dentes eius ut dentes leonis et molares eius ut catuli leonis
For a nation is come up on my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7 posuit vineam meam in desertum et ficum meam decorticavit nudans spoliavit eam et proiecit albi facti sunt rami eius
He has laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he has made it clean bore, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8 plange quasi virgo accincta sacco super virum pubertatis suae
Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9 periit sacrificium et libatio de domo Domini luxerunt sacerdotes ministri Domini
The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’s ministers, mourn.
10 depopulata est regio luxit humus quoniam devastatum est triticum confusum est vinum elanguit oleum
The field is wasted, the land mourns; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
11 confusi sunt agricolae ululaverunt vinitores super frumento et hordeo quia periit messis agri
Be you ashamed, O you farmers; howl, O you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 vinea confusa est et ficus elanguit malogranatum et palma et malum et omnia ligna agri aruerunt quia confusum est gaudium a filiis hominum
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languishes; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 accingite vos et plangite sacerdotes ululate ministri altaris ingredimini cubate in sacco ministri Dei mei quoniam interiit de domo Dei vestri sacrificium et libatio
Gird yourselves, and lament, you priests: howl, you ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withheld from the house of your God.
14 sanctificate ieiunium vocate coetum congregate senes omnes habitatores terrae in domum Dei vestri et clamate ad Dominum
Sanctify you a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry to the LORD,
15 a a a diei quia prope est dies Domini et quasi vastitas a potente veniet
Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16 numquid non coram oculis vestris alimenta perierunt de domo Dei nostri laetitia et exultatio
Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 conputruerunt iumenta in stercore suo demolita sunt horrea dissipatae sunt apothecae quoniam confusum est triticum
The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18 quid ingemuit animal mugierunt greges armenti quia non est pascua eis sed et greges pecorum disperierunt
How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
19 ad te Domine clamabo quia ignis comedit speciosa deserti et flamma succendit omnia ligna regionis
O LORD, to you will I cry: for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
20 sed et bestiae agri quasi area sitiens imbrem suspexerunt ad te quoniam exsiccati sunt fontes aquarum et ignis devoravit speciosa deserti
The beasts of the field cry also to you: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
