Joel 3
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Διότι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις καὶ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ὅταν ἐπιστρέφω τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰερουσαλήμ,
“Yes, in those days and at that time, when I restore Judah and Jerusalem from captivity (note: Or restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem),
καὶ συνάξω πάντα τὰ ἔθνη καὶ κατάξω αὐτὰ εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα Ἰωσαφάτ, καὶ διακριθήσομαι πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ ὑπέρ τοῦ λαοῦ μου καὶ τῆς κληρονομίας μου Ἰσραήλ, οἵ διεσπάρησαν ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν· καὶ τὴν γῆν μου καταδιείλαντο,
I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat (note: Jehoshaphat means the LORD judges; also in verse 12.). 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.
καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου ἔβαλον κλήρους, καὶ ἔδωκαν τὰ παιδάρια πόρναις, καὶ τὰ κοράσια ἐπόλουν ἀντὶ οἴνου καὶ ἔπινον.
They cast lots for My people; they bartered a boy for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine to drink.
καὶ τί ὑμεῖς ἐμοί, Ἰύρος καὶ Σειδών, καὶ πᾶσα Γαλειλαία ἀλλοφύλων μὴ ἀνταπόδομα ὑμεῖς ἀνταποδίδοτέ μοι; ἤ μνησικακεῖτε ὑμεῖς ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ ὀξέως; καὶ ταχέως ἀνταποδώσω τὸ ἀνταπόδομα ὑμῶν εἰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν,
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.
ἀνθʼ ὦν τὸ ἀργύριόν μου καὶ τὸ χρυσίον μου ἐλάβετε, καὶ τὰ ἐπίλεκτά μου καὶ τὰ καλὰ εἰσηνέγκατε εἰς τοὺς ναοὺς ὑμῶν·
For you took My silver and gold and carried off My finest treasures to your temples (note: Or palaces).
καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰούδα καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἀπέδοσθε τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν Ἐλλήνωυ, ὅπως ἐξώσητε αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτῶν.
You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, to send them far from their homeland.
ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐξεγείρω αὐτοὺς ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὐ ἀπέδοσθε αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ, καὶ ἀνταποδώσω τὸ ἀνταπόδομα ὑμῶν εἰς κεφαλὰς ὑμῶν,
Behold, I will rouse them from the places to which you sold them; I will return your recompense upon your heads.
καὶ ἀποδώσομαι τοὺς υἱοὺς ὑμῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας ὑμῶν εἰς χεῖρας τῶν υἱῶν Ἰούδα, καὶ ἀποδώσονται αὐτοὺς εἰς αἰχμαλωσίαν εἰς ἔθνος μακρὰν ἀπέχον, ὅτι Κύριος ἐλάλησεν.
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.
Κηρύξατε ταῦτα ἐυ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ἁγιάσατε πόλεμου, ἐξεγείρατε τοὺς μαχητάς, καὶ προσαγάγετε καὶ ἀναβαίυετε πάντες ἄνδρες πολεμισταί,
Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!
συγκόψατε τὰ ἄροτρα ὑμῶν εἰς όομφαίας καὶ τὰ δρέπανα ὑμῶν εἰς σειρομάστας· ὁ ἀδύνατος λεγέτω ὅτι Ἰσχύω ἐγώ.
Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’
συναθροίζεσθε καὶ εἰσπορεύεσθε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κυκλόθεν καὶ συνάχθητε ἐκεῖ ὁ πρᾳὺς ἔστω μαχητής.
Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.
ἐξεγειρέσθωσαν, ἀυαβαινέτωσαν πάντα τὰ ἔθνη εἰς τὴν κοιλάδα Ἰωσαφάτ, διότι ἐκεῖ καθιῶ τοῦ διακρῖναι πάντα τὰ ἔθνη κυκλόθεν.
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.
ἐξαποστείλατε δρέπανα, ὅτι παρέστηκεν τρυγητός· εἰσπορεύεσθε, πατεῖτε, διότι πλήρης ἡ ληνός· ὑπερεκχεῖτε τὰ ὑπολήνια, ὅτι πεπλήθυυται τὰ κακὰ αὐτῶν.
Swing the sickle, for the harvest is ripe (note: LXX the harvest has come; see also Mark 4:29.). Come, trample the grapes, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow because their wickedness is great.
ἤχοι ἐξήχησαν ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῆς δίκης, ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἡμέρα Κυρίου ἐν τῇ κοιλάδι τῆς δίκης.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
ὁ ἥλιος καὶ ἡ σελήνη συσκοτάσουσιν, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες δύσουσιν φέγγος αὐτῶυ.
The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.
ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐκ Σειὼν ἀνακεκράξεται, καὶ ἐξ Ἰερουσαλὴμ δώσει φωνὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ σεισθήσεται ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ· ὁ δὲ κύριος φείσεται τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνισχύσει τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραήλ.
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.
καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ κατασκηνῶν ἐυ Σειών, ἐν ὄρει ἁγίῳ μου· καὶ ἔσται Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἁγία, καὶ ἀλλογενεῖς οὐ διελεύσονται δι᾿ αὐτῆς οὐκέτι.
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.
Καὶ ἔσται ἐυ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀποσταλάξει τὰ ὄρη γλυκασμόν, καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ όυήσονται γάλα, καὶ πᾶσαι αἱ ἀφέσεις Ἰούδα ὸυήσονται ὕδατα, καὶ πηγὴ ἐξ οἵκου Κυρίου ἐξελεύσεται καὶ ποτιεῖ τὸν χειμάρρουν τῶν σχοίνων.
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 (note: Or Valley of Shittim).
Αἶγυπτος εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἔσται, καὶ ἡ Ἰδουμαία εἰς πεδίον ἀφανισμοῦ ἔσται ἐξ ἀδικιῶν υἱῶν Ἰούδα, ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐξέχεαν αἵμα δίκαιον ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτῶν.
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.
ἡ δἐ Ἰουδαία εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κατοικηθήσεται, καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ εἰς γενεὰς γενεῶν·
But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
καὶ ἐκζητήσω τὸ αἵμα αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀθῳώσω, καὶ Κύριος κατασκηνώσει ἐν Σειών.
For I will avenge their blood, which I have not yet avenged (note: Or For I will pardon their bloodguilt, which I have not yet pardoned.).” For the LORD dwells in Zion.
