Книга пророка Иоиля 3
1 Яко се, Аз во дни тыя и во время оно, егда возвращу пленники Иудины и Иерусалимли,
[Yahweh says this]: “At that time [DOU], I will enable [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to prosper again.
2 и соберу вся языки, и сведу я на юдоль Иосафатову, и разсуждуся с ними ту о людех Моих и о наследии Моем Израили, иже разсеяшася во языцех, и землю Мою разделиша.
[Then] in the Valley of Judgment I will gather together [the people of] all the [other] nations; I will judge [and punish] them because they scattered my Israeli people and forced them to go to other countries. They divided up my land
3 И на люди Моя вергоша жребия, и даша отрочища блудницам, и отроковицы продаяху на вине и пияху.
and they (threw marked stones/cast lots) to determine who would get [each of] my people. Then they sold [some of] the Israeli boys and girls [to get money to pay] for prostitutes and wine to drink.
4 И что вы Мне, Тире и Сидоне и вся Галилеа иноплеменников? Еда воздаяние вы воздаете Мне? Или памятозлобствуете вы на Мя? Остро и быстро воздам воздаяние ваше на главы ваша,
You [people of] [APO] Tyre and Sidon [cities] and [you people of] the Philistia [region], I certainly have not [RHQ] done anything to harm you! [So] if you are trying to get revenge on me, I will very quickly get revenge on you.
5 понеже сребро Мое и злато Мое взясте, и избранная Моя и добрая внесосте в требища ваша,
You have taken the silver and gold and [other] things from my temple and put them in your temples.
6 и сыны Иудины и сыны Иерусалимли продасте сыном Еллинским, яко да ижденете я от предел их.
[You dragged away] the people of Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah, and you took them far away and sold them to people in Greece.
7 И се, Аз возставлю я от места, в неже продасте я тамо, и воздам воздаяние ваше на главы ваша:
But I will cause my people to want to return from the places to which you sold them, and I will do to you what you did to them.
8 и отдам сыны ваша и дщери ваша в руце сынов Иудиных, и продадят я в плен во страну далече сущу, яко Господь глагола.
Then I will cause [some of] your sons and your daughters to be sold to the people of Judah! And [some of] them will be sold to the Sabea people-group, who live far away. [That will certainly happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
9 Проповедите сия во языцех, освятите рать, возставите сечцы, приведите и восходите, вси мужие воинстии,
Proclaim to the [people of all] nations, “Prepare for a war! Summon your soldiers, and tell them to stand in their battle positions.
10 разсецыте рала ваша на мечи и серпы ваша на копия: немощный да глаголет, яко могу аз:
[Take] your plows and make swords from them, and [take] your pruning knives and make spears from them. [Even] the weak people must [also] be like [MET] [strong] soldiers.
11 совокупляйтеся и входите, вси языцы окрест, и соберитеся ту: кроткий да будет храбр.
All you [people from the] nations that are near [Judah] must come quickly and gather [in the Valley of Judgment].” But Yahweh, [when that happens], send your army [of angels to attack them]!
12 Да востанут и взыдут вси языцы на юдоль Иосафатову, яко тамо сяду разсудити вся языки яже окрест.
The [people in] the nations near [Judah] must get ready and come to the Valley of Judgment. There Yahweh will sit and judge [and punish] them.
13 Испустите серпы, яко предстоит обымание винограда: внидите, топчите, яко исполнь точило, изливаются подточилия, яко умножишася злобы их.
[They are like] [MET] crops that are ready to be harvested; so [strike them like] [MET] [a farmer] swings his sickle to cut the grain. They are like [MET] grapes that are piled high in the pits where they will be pressed; because they are very wicked, [punish them severely] [MET] now, like [MET] [a farmer] tramples on the grapes until the pits are full of juice.
14 Гласи прогласишася на поли судебнем, яко близ день Господень на юдоли судебней.
[There will be] huge crowds of people in that Valley of Judgment. It will soon be the time that Yahweh [will punish them].
15 Солнце и луна померкнут, и звезды скрыют свет свой.
[At that time] there will be no light from the sun or moon, and the stars will not shine.
16 Господь же от Сиона воззовет и от Иерусалима даст глас Свой, и потрясется небо и земля: Господь же пощадит люди Своя и укрепит (Господь) сыны Израилевы.
From Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem Yahweh will shout, and his voice will be like thunder, and his voice will cause the sky and the earth to shake. But Yahweh will protect [MET] his people; he will be like [MET] a strong wall behind which the people of Israel will be protected.
17 И увесте, яко Аз Господь Бог ваш, вселяяся в Сионе в горе Моей святей: и будет Иерусалим свят, и иноплеменницы не пройдут сквозе его ктому.
[Yahweh says], “At that time, you Israeli people will know that I am Yahweh, your God. I live on Zion, my sacred hill. Jerusalem will be a sacred [city], and [soldiers from] other countries will never conquer it again.
18 И будет в той день, искаплют горы сладость, и холми источат млеко, и вси источницы Иудины источат воды, и источник от дому Господня изыдет и напоит водотечь Сития.
At that time, there will be vineyards covering [MTY] the hills, and [your cattle and goats on] those hills will produce plenty of milk. The streams in Judah will never dry up. And a stream will flow from my temple into the Acacia Valley [northeast of the Dead Sea].
19 Египет в погибель будет, и Идумеа в поле погибели будет за озлобление сынов Иудиных, понеже пролияша кровь праведную на земли своей:
[The armies of] Egypt and Edom attacked the people of Judah and killed [MTY] many people who had not done anything that was wrong. So [now] those countries will become deserts,
20 Иудеа же во веки населится, и Иерусалим в роды родов.
but there will always be people living in Jerusalem and [in other places] in Judea.
21 И взыщу крови их и не обезвиню: и Господь вселится в Сионе.
[I], Yahweh, live on Zion [Hill in Jerusalem], and I will get revenge on the people [of Egypt and Edom] who killed [MTY] [many of my people].”
