Joel 3

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

quia ecce in diebus illis et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda et Hierusalem

I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

congregabo omnes gentes et deducam eas in valle Iosaphat et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo et hereditate mea Israhel quos disperserunt in nationibus et terram meam diviserunt

And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

et super populum meum miserunt sortem et posuerunt puerum in prostibulum et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent

Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

verum quid vobis et mihi Tyrus et Sidon et omnis terminus Palestinorum numquid ultionem vos redditis mihi et si ulciscimini vos contra me cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum

Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

argentum enim meum et aurum tulistis et desiderabilia mea et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra

The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.

et filios Iuda et filios Hierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis

Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:

ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum

And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.

et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda et venundabunt eos Sabeis genti longinquae quia Dominus locutus est

Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:

clamate hoc in gentibus sanctificate bellum suscitate robustos accedant ascendant omnes viri bellatores

Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

concidite aratra vestra in gladios et ligones vestros in lanceas infirmus dicat quia fortis ego sum

Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

erumpite et venite omnes gentes de circuitu et congregamini ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos

Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.

consurgant et ascendant gentes in vallem Iosaphat quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu

Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.

mittite falces quoniam maturavit messis venite et descendite quia plenum est torcular exuberant torcularia quia multiplicata est malitia eorum

Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

populi populi in valle concisionis quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

sol et luna obtenebricata sunt et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum

The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.

et Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et movebuntur caeli et terra et Dominus spes populi sui et fortitudo filiorum Israhel

So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion in monte sancto meo et erit Hierusalem sancta et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

et erit in die illa stillabunt montes dulcedinem et colles fluent lacte et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae et fons de domo Domini egredietur et inrigabit torrentem Spinarum

Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

Aegyptus in desolatione erit et Idumea in desertum perditionis pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua

But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur et Hierusalem in generatione et generationem

For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

et mundabo sanguinem eorum quem non mundaveram et Dominus commorabitur in Sion
