Joel 3

1 “Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity,

1 “到那日，我要使犹大和耶路撒冷被掳的人返乡。

2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning My people, My inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations as they divided up My land.

2 那时，我要聚集万国，带他们下到约沙法 谷，在那里审判他们，因为他们把我的子民，就是我的产业以色列，分散到各国，并瓜分我的土地。

3 They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.

3 他们抽签分了我的子民，将男童换妓女，卖女童买酒喝。

4 Now what do you have against Me, O Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you rendering against Me a recompense? If you retaliate against Me, I will swiftly and speedily return your recompense upon your heads.

4 “泰尔、西顿和非利士境内所有的人啊，你们为什么这样对我？你们要报复我吗？如果你们是报复我，我必速速使你们遭报应。

5 For you took My silver and gold and carried off My finest treasures to your temples.

5 你们夺去我的金银，抢走我的珍宝，拿去放在你们的庙中，

6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.

6 并把犹大和耶路撒冷的居民卖给希腊人，使他们远离家乡。

7 Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.

7 然而，他们被卖到哪里，我要促使他们从哪里离开，并要使你们得到报应，

8 I will sell your sons and daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans—to a distant nation.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

8 我必把你们的儿女卖给犹大人，犹大人必把他们卖给远方的示巴人。这是耶和华说的。”

9 Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!

9 你们去向列国宣告： “要召集勇士，征调军队， 前去打仗！

10 Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’

10 要将犁头打成刀剑， 把镰刀铸成矛头， 弱者要说自己是勇士！

11 Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.

11 四围的列国啊， 你们快快聚集到那里吧！” 耶和华啊， 求你差遣大能的勇士降临。

12 Let the nations be roused and advance to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there I will sit down to judge all the nations on every side.

12 “列国都要起来， 上到约沙法谷， 因为我要坐在那里审判周边列国。

13 Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because their wickedness is great.

13 开镰吧，因为庄稼熟了； 踩踏吧，因为榨酒池的葡萄满了。 酒池满溢，因为他们恶贯满盈。”

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

14 千千万万的人聚集在审判谷， 因为耶和华的日子要临到那里。

15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.

15 日月昏暗， 星辰无光。

16 The LORD will roar from Zion and raise His voice from Jerusalem; heaven and earth will tremble. But the LORD will be a refuge for His people, a stronghold for the people of Israel.

16 耶和华从锡安发出怒吼， 从耶路撒冷发出雷声， 天地为之震动。 但耶和华却是祂子民的避难所， 是以色列人的堡垒。

17 Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain. Jerusalem will be holy, never again to be overrun by foreigners.

17 “这样，你们就知道我是你们的上帝耶和华， 我住在我的圣山锡安。 耶路撒冷必为圣城， 外族人必不再侵犯它。

18 And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk. All the streams of Judah will run with water, and a spring will flow from the house of the LORD to water the Valley of Acacias.

18 “到那日，群山要滴下甜酒， 丘陵要流出乳汁。 犹大的溪涧碧水常流， 必有清泉从耶和华的殿中流出， 浇灌什亭谷。

19 Egypt will become desolate, and Edom a desert wasteland, because of the violence done to the people of Judah, in whose land they shed innocent blood.

19 埃及必一片荒凉， 以东必成为荒凉的旷野， 因为他们曾残暴地对待犹大人， 在犹大滥杀无辜。

20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

20 但犹大必常有人住， 耶路撒冷必存到万代。

21 For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged.” For the LORD dwells in Zion.

21 我必追讨 尚未追讨的血债， 因为耶和华住在锡安。”
