Joel 3

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

1 لأَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ، وَفِي ذَلِكَ الْحِينِ عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ يَهُوذَا وَأُورُشَلِيمَ،

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 أَجْمَعُ الأُمَمَ كُلَّهَا وَأُحْضِرُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَنَّهُمْ شَتَّتُوهُمْ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ وَاقْتَسَمُوا أَرْضِي.

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

3 وَأَلْقَوْا الْقُرْعَةَ عَلَى شَعْبِي فَقَايَضُوا الزَّانِيَةَ بِالصَّبِيِّ، وَبَاعُوا الصَّبِيَّةَ لِقَاءَ شُرْبَةِ خَمْرٍ.

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 مَاذَا لَدَيْكُمْ ضِدِّي يَا صُورُ وَصِيْدُونُ وَسَائِرَ أَقَالِيمِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ أَتُجَازُونَنِي عَلَى أَمْرٍ أَتَيْتُهُ؟ أَمْ تَسْعَوْنَ لإِيذَائِي؟ إِنِّي أُنْزِلُ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ بَغْتَةً وَسَرِيعاً.

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

5 لأَنَّكُمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْلَيْتُمْ عَلَى ذَهَبِي وَفِضَّتِي، وَنَقَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ.

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

6 وَبِعْتُمْ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءَ أُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى الْيُونَانِيِّينَ لِتُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِ أَرْضِهِمْ.

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

7 وَهَا أَنَا الآنَ أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ حَيْثُ بِعْتُمُوهُمْ، وَأَرُدُّ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ سُوءَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ.

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 وَأَبِيعُ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِأَيْدِي أَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، فَيَبِيعُونَهُمْ بِدَوْرِهِمْ إِلَى السَّبَئِيِّينَ، إِلَى أُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ قَدْ أَصْدَرَ قَضَاءَهُ.

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

9 نَادُوا بِهَذَا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، وَتَأَهَّبُوا لِلْحَرْبِ. اُحْشُدُوا أَبْطَالَكُمْ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ جَمِيعُ رِجَالِ الْقِتَالِ.

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

10 أَطْرِقُوا أَسْنَانَ مَحَارِيثِكُمْ وَحَوِّلُوهَا إِلَى سُيُوفٍ، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ إِلَى رِمَاحٍ، وَلْيَقُلِ الضَّعِيفُ: إِنَّنِي جَبَّارُ قِتَالٍ!

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

11 أَسْرِعُوا وَتَعَالَوْا مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ يَا كُلَّ الأُمَمِ، وَاجْتَمِعُوا هُنَاكَ، وَأَنْزِلْ يَا رَبُّ مُحَارِبِيكَ.

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 لِتَنْهَضِ الأُمَمُ وَتُقْبِلْ إِلَى وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ لأَنَّنِي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لأُدِينَ الشُّعُوبَ الْمُتَوَافِدَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ.

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 احْمِلُوا الْمِنْجَلَ لأَنَّ الْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. تَعَالَوْا وَدُوسُوا فَإِنَّ مِعْصَرَةَ الْخَمْرِ قَدِ امْتَلأَتْ، وَالْحِيَاضَ فَاضَتْ بِكَثْرَةِ شَرِّهِمْ.

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

14 جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ مُتَزَاحِمَةٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ الرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي الْقَضَاءِ.

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

15 قَدْ أَظْلَمَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُ، وَكَفَّتِ الْكَوَاكِبُ عَنِ الضِّيَاءِ.

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 يَزْأَرُ الرَّبُّ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ، وَيُجَلْجِلُ بِصَوْتِهِ مِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ فَتَرْجُفُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ؛ لَكِنَّ الرَّبَّ يَكُونُ مَلْجَأً لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْناً لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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 فَتُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمُ السَّاكِنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِي الْمُقَدَّسِ، وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا الْغُرَبَاءُ أَبَداً.

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 وَتَقْطُرُ الْجِبَالُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَمْرَةً عَذْبَةً، وَتَفِيضُ التِّلالُ بِاللَّبَنِ وَجَمِيعُ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَتَدَفَّقُ مَاءً، وَيَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ مِنْ هَيْكَلِ الرَّبِّ يَرْوِي وَادِي السَّنْطِ،

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 وَتُصْبِحُ مِصْرُ خَرَاباً، وَأَدُومُ قَفْراً مُوْحِشاً لِفَرْطِ مَا أَنْزَلُوهُ مِنْ ظُلْمٍ بِأَبْنَاءِ يَهُوذَا، وَلأَنَّهُمْ سَفَكُوا دَماً بَرِيئاً فِي دِيَارِهِمْ.

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

20 أَمَّا يَهُوذَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْكُنُ الأَرْضَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَتَعْمُرُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مَدَى الأَجْيَالِ.

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

21 وَأُزَكِّي دَمَهُمُ الَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ.
