约珥书 3.1-21

0:00

3:1 当那些日子，我使犹大和耶路撒冷被掳之人归回的时候，

For indeed, in those days and at that time When I turn the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

3:2 我要聚集万民，带他们下到约沙法谷；为了我的百姓，就是我的产业以色列，我要在那里审判他们，因为他们把我的百姓分散在列国中，又分取我的地土；

I will gather all the nations And will bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there Because of My people and My inheritance Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations. And they have divided My land

3:3 且为我的百姓拈阄，将童男换妓女，卖童女买酒喝。

And have cast lots for My people; And they have given a boy for a prostitute And sold a girl for wine to drink.

3:4 推罗、西顿、和非利士全境的人哪，你们与我何干？你们要把应得的报应回报给我么？若回报给我，我必使报应速速归到你们的头上。

Indeed then, what are you to me, Tyre and Sidon And all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay Me with a recompense? But if you recompense Me, Swiftly, speedily, I will return your recompense upon your own head.

3:5 你们既然夺取我的金银，又将我美好的宝物带入你们庙中，

In that you have taken My silver and My gold, And have brought My fine precious things into your temples,

3:6 并将犹大人和耶路撒冷人，卖给雅完人，赶逐他们远离自己的境界；

And have sold to the children of the Javanim The children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem, In order to remove them Away from their borders;

3:7 我必激动他们离开你们所卖到之地，又必使报应归到你们的头上。

I will rouse them out of the place To which you have sold them, And will return your recompense upon your own head.

3:8 我必将你们的儿女卖在犹大人的手中，他们必卖给远方示巴国的人；因为耶和华已经说了。

And I will sell your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the children of Judah, And they will sell them to the Sabeans, To a nation that is far off, For Jehovah has spoken.

3:9 当在列国中宣告这话，说，要预备打仗；激动勇士；一切战士都要近前，都要上去。

Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare the battle; Rouse the mighty men; Let all the men of battle Draw near; let them go up.

3:10 要将犁头打成刀剑，将镰刀打成戈矛；软弱的要说，我有勇力。

Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning knives into spears; Let the weak say, I am mighty.

3:11 四围的列国阿，你们要速速的来，一同聚集。耶和华阿，求你使你的大能者在那里降临！

Hurry and come, All you surrounding nations, And be gathered. There cause Your mighty ones to descend, O Jehovah!

3:12 列国都当兴起，上到约沙法谷。因为我必坐在那里，审判四围的列国。

Let the nations rouse themselves and come up To the valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit to judge All the surrounding nations.

3:13 伸出镰刀罢，因为庄稼熟了；前来践踏罢，因为酒榨满了；酒池盈溢，因为他们的罪恶甚大。

Send forth the sickle, For the harvest is ripe; Come, tread, For the winepress is full; The wine vats overflow, For their evil is great.

3:14 许多许多的人在断定谷；因为耶和华的日子临近断定谷。

Multitudes, multitudes, In the valley of decision; For the day of Jehovah has drawn near In the valley of decision.

3:15 日月昏暗，星宿无光。

The sun and the moon grow dark, And the stars withdraw their shining.

3:16 耶和华必从锡安吼叫，从耶路撒冷发声，天地就震动。耶和华却要作祂百姓的避难所，作以色列人的保障。

And Jehovah will roar from Zion, And from Jerusalem He will utter His voice, And the heavens and the earth will shake. But Jehovah will be a shelter to His people And a stronghold to the children of Israel.

3:17 你们就知道我是耶和华你们的神，住在锡安我的圣山。那时，耶路撒冷必成为圣，外人不再从其中经过。

Thus you will know that I am Jehovah your God, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem will be holy, And strangers will pass through her no longer.

3:18 到那日，大山要滴新酒，小山要流奶；犹大一切的溪河都有水流，必有泉源从耶和华的殿中流出来，浇灌什亭谷。

And in that day The mountains will drop down fresh wine, And the hills will flow with milk; And all the waterways of Judah Will flow with water, And a fountain will go forth from the house of Jehovah, And it will water the valley of Shittim.

3:19 埃及必然荒凉，以东变为荒凉的旷野，都因向犹大人所行的强暴，因他们在本地流了无辜人的血。

Egypt will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, Because of the violence against the children of Judah, In that they have shed innocent blood in their land.

3:20 但犹大必有人居住，直到永远；耶路撒冷必有人居住，直到万代。

But Judah will abide forever, And Jerusalem, from generation to generation;

3:21 我未曾赦免他们流血的罪，现在我要赦免，因为耶和华住在锡安。

And I will acquit them of their bloodshed that I had not acquitted them of, For Jehovah dwells in Zion.
