Joel 3

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

1 «لِأَنَّهُ هُوَذَا فِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ وَفِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْوَقْتِ، 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 كُلَّ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَأُنَزِّلُهُمْ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، وَأُحَاكِمُهُمْ هُنَاكَ عَلَى شَعْبِي وَمِيرَاثِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلَّذِينَ بَدَّدُوهُمْ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ وَقَسَمُوا 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 قُرْعَةً عَلَى شَعْبِي، وَأَعْطَوْا ٱلصَّبِيَّ بِزَانِيَةٍ، وَبَاعُوا ٱلْبِنْتَ بِخَمْرٍ لِيَشْرَبُوا.

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 «وَمَاذَا أَنْتُنَّ لِي يَا صُورُ وَصَيْدُونُ وَجَمِيعَ دَائِرَةِ فِلِسْطِينَ؟ هَلْ تُكَافِئُونَنِي عَنِ ٱلْعَمَلِ، أَمْ هَلْ تَصْنَعُونَ بِي شَيْئًا؟ سَرِيعًا بِٱلْعَجَلِ أَرُدُّ عَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ.

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

5 لِأَنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ فِضَّتِي وَذَهَبِي، وَأَدْخَلْتُمْ نَفَائِسِي ٱلْجَيِّدَةَ إِلَى هَيَاكِلِكُمْ.

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

6 وَبِعْتُمْ بَنِي يَهُوذَا وَبَنِي أُورُشَلِيمَ لِبَنِي ٱلْيَاوَانِيِّينَ لِكَيْ تُبْعِدُوهُمْ عَنْ تُخُومِهِمْ.

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

7 هَأَنَذَا أُنْهِضُهُمْ مِنَ ٱلْمَوْضِعِ ٱلَّذِي بِعْتُمُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ، وَأَرُدُّ عَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى رُؤُوسِكُمْ.

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 بَنِيكُمْ وَبَنَاتِكُمْ بِيَدِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا لِيَبِيعُوهُمْ لِلسَّبَائِيِّينَ، لِأُمَّةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ».

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 ٱلْأُمَمِ. قَدِّسُوا حَرْبًا. أَنْهِضُوا ٱلْأَبْطَالَ. لِيَتَقَدَّمْ وَيَصْعَدْ كُلُّ رِجَالِ ٱلْحَرْبِ.

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

10 اِطْبَعُوا سِكَّاتِكُمْ سُيُوفًا، وَمَنَاجِلَكُمْ رِمَاحًا. لِيَقُلِ ٱلضَّعِيفُ: «بَطَلٌ أَنَا!»

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

11 أَسْرِعُوا وَهَلُمُّوا يَا جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ وَٱجْتَمِعُوا. إِلَى هُنَاكَ أَنْزِلْ يَارَبُّ أَبْطَالَكَ.

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 «تَنْهَضُ وَتَصْعَدُ ٱلْأُمَمُ إِلَى وَادِي يَهُوشَافَاطَ، لِأَنِّي هُنَاكَ أَجْلِسُ لِأُحَاكِمَ جَمِيعَ ٱلْأُمَمِ مِنْ كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ.

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 أَرْسِلُوا ٱلْمِنْجَلَ لِأَنَّ ٱلْحَصِيدَ قَدْ نَضَجَ. هَلُمُّوا دُوسُوا لِأَنَّهُ قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأَتِ ٱلْمِعْصَرَةُ. فَاضَتِ ٱلْحِيَاضُ لِأَنَّ شَرَّهُمْ كَثِيرٌ».

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

14 جَمَاهِيرُ جَمَاهِيرُ فِي وَادِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ، لِأَنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلرَّبِّ قَرِيبٌ فِي وَادِي ٱلْقَضَاءِ.

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

15 اَلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ يَظْلُمَانِ، وَٱلنُّجُومُ تَحْجُزُ لَمَعَانَهَا.

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 وَٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ صِهْيَوْنَ يُزَمْجِرُ، وَمِنْ أُورُشَلِيمَ يُعْطِي صَوْتَهُ، فَتَرْجُفُ ٱلسَّمَاءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ. وَلَكِنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ مَلْجَأٌ لِشَعْبِهِ، وَحِصْنٌ 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 «فَتَعْرِفُونَ أَنِّي أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ، سَاكِنًا فِي صِهْيَوْنَ جَبَلِ قُدْسِي. وَتَكُونُ أُورُشَلِيمُ مُقَدَّسَةً وَلَا يَجْتَازُ فِيهَا ٱلْأَعَاجِمُ فِي مَا بَعْدُ.

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 «وَيَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ أَنَّ ٱلْجِبَالَ تَقْطُرُ عَصِيرًا، وَٱلتِّلَالَ تَفِيضُ لَبَنًا، وَجَمِيعَ يَنَابِيعِ يَهُوذَا تَفِيضُ مَاءً، وَمِنْ بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ يَخْرُجُ يَنْبُوعٌ وَيَسْقِي وَادِي ٱلسَّنْطِ.

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 مِصْرُ تَصِيرُ خَرَابًا، وَأَدُومُ تَصِيرُ قَفْرًا خَرِبًا، مِنْ أَجْلِ ظُلْمِهِمْ لِبَنِي يَهُوذَا ٱلَّذِينَ سَفَكُوا دَمًا بَرِيئًا فِي أَرْضِهِمْ.

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

20 وَلَكِنَّ يَهُوذَا تُسْكَنُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، وَأُورُشَلِيمَ إِلَى دَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

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

21 وَأُبَرِّئُ دَمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ أُبَرِّئْهُ، وَٱلرَّبُّ يَسْكُنُ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ».
