Joel 3

1For behold in those days, and in that time when I shall bring back the captivity of Juda, and Jerusalem:

2I will gather together all nations and will bring them down into the valley of Josaphat: and I will plead with them there for my people, and for my inheritance, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have parted my land.

3And they have cast lots upon my people: and the boy they have put in the stews, and the girl they have sold for wine, that they might drink.

4But what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coast of the Philistines? will you revenge yourselves on me? and if you revenge yourselves on me, I will very soon return you a recompense upon your own head.

5For you have taken away my silver, and my gold: and my desirable, and most beautiful things you have carried into your temples.

6And the children of Juda, and the children of Jerusalem, you have sold to the children of the Greeks, that you might remove them far off from their own country.

7Behold, I will raise them up out of the place wherein you have sold them: and I will return your recompense upon your own heads.

8And I will sell your sons, and your daughters, by the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far off, for the Lord hath spoken it.

9Proclaim ye this among the nations: Prepare war, raise up the strong: let them come, let all the men of war come up.

10Cut your ploughshares into swords, and your spades into spears. Let the weak say: I am strong.

11Break forth, and come, all ye nations from round about, and gather yourselves together: there will the Lord cause all thy strong ones to fall down.

12Let them arise, and let the nations come up into the valley of Josaphat: for there I will sit to judge all nations round about.

13Put ye in the sickles, for the harvest is ripe: come and go down, for the press is full, the fats run over: for their wickedness is multiplied.

14Nations, nations in the valley of destruction: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of destruction.

15The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.

16And the Lord shall roar out of Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the heavens and the earth shall be moved, and the Lord shall be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

17And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Sion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall pass through it no more.

18And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk: and waters shall flow through all the rivers of Juda: and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the torrent of thorns.

19Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a wilderness destroyed: because they have done unjustly against the children of Juda, and have shed innocent blood in their land.

20And Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to generation and generation.

21And I will cleanse their blood, which I had not cleansed: and the Lord will dwell in Sion.

1Et erit post hæc : effundam spiritum meum super omnem carnem, et prophetabunt filii vestri et filiæ vestræ : senes vestri somnia somniabunt, et juvenes vestri visiones videbunt.

2Sed et super servos meos et ancillas in diebus illis effundam spiritum meum.

3Et dabo prodigia in cælo et in terra, sanguinem, et ignem, et vaporem fumi.

4Sol convertetur in tenebras, et luna in sanguinem, antequam veniat dies Domini magnus et horribilis.

5Et erit : omnis qui invocaverit nomen Domini, salvus erit : quia in monte Sion et in Jerusalem erit salvatio, sicut dixit Dominus, et in residuis quos Dominus vocaverit.

6Et filios Juda et filios Jerusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum, ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.

7Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos, et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.

8Et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Juda, et venundabunt eos Sabaeis, genti longinquae, quia Dominus locutus est.

9Clamate hoc in gentibus, sanctificate bellum, suscitate robustos : accedant, ascendant omnes viri bellatores.

10Concidite aratra vestra in gladios, et ligones vestros in lanceas. Infirmus dicat : Quia fortis ego sum.

11Erumpite, et venite, omnes gentes de circuitu, et congregamini; ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.

12Consurgant, et ascendant gentes in vallem Josaphat, quia ibi sedebo ut judicem omnes gentes in circuitu.

13Mittite falces, quoniam maturavit messis; venite, et descendite, quia plenum est torcular, exuberant torcularia : quia multiplicata est malitia eorum.

14Populi, populi, in valle concisionis, quia juxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis.

15Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum.

16Et Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Jerusalem dabit vocem suam, et movebuntur caeli et terra; et Dominus spes populi sui, et fortitudo filiorum Israel.

17Et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester, habitans in Sion monte sancto meo; et erit Jerusalem sancta, et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius.

18Et erit in die illa : stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et colles fluent lacte, et per omnes rivos Juda ibunt aquae; et fons de domo Domini egredietur, et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.

19Aegyptus in desolationem erit, et Idumaea in desertum perditionis, pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Juda, et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua.

20Et Judaea in aeternum habitabitur, et Jerusalem in generationem et generationem.

21Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram; et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.

1καὶ ἔσται μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός μου ἐπὶ πᾶσαν σάρκα καὶ προφητεύσουσιν οἱ υἱοὶ ὑμῶν καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες ὑμῶν καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι ὑμῶν ἐνύπνια ἐνυπνιασθήσονται καὶ οἱ νεανίσκοι ὑμῶν ὁράσεις ὄψονται

2καὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς δούλους καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς δούλας ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἐκχεῶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πνεύματός μου

3καὶ δώσω τέρατα ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς αἷμα καὶ πῦρ καὶ ἀτμίδα καπνοῦ

4ὁ ἥλιος μεταστραφήσεται εἰς σκότος καὶ ἡ σελήνη εἰς αἷμα πρὶν ἐλθεῖν ἡμέραν κυρίου τὴν μεγάλην καὶ ἐπιφανῆ

5καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἐπικαλέσηται τὸ ὄνομα κυρίου σωθήσεται ὅτι ἐν τῷ ὄρει Σιων καὶ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἔσται ἀνασῳζόμενος καθότι εἶπεν κύριος καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι οὓς κύριος προσκέκληται
