约珥书 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
选民之敌必见鞫受惩
3 “到那日，我使犹大和耶路撒冷被掳之人归回的时候， 2 我要聚集万民，带他们下到约沙法谷，在那里施行审判。因为他们将我的百姓，就是我的产业以色列，分散在列国中，又分取我的地土， 3 且为我的百姓拈阄，将童子换妓女，卖童女买酒喝。 4 推罗、西顿和非利士四境的人哪，你们与我何干？你们要报复我吗？若报复我，我必使报应速速归到你们的头上。 5 你们既然夺取我的金银，又将我可爱的宝物带入你们宫殿[a]， 6 并将犹大人和耶路撒冷人卖给希腊人[b]，使他们远离自己的境界， 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。 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。这是耶和华说的。
耶和华在约沙法谷鞫万民
9 “当在万民中宣告说：要预备打仗，激动勇士，使一切战士上前来！ 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！’” 11 四围的列国啊，你们要速速地来，一同聚集！耶和华啊，求你使你的大能者降临！ 12 “万民都当兴起，上到约沙法谷，因为我必坐在那里，审判四围的列国。 13 开镰吧！因为庄稼熟了。践踏吧！因为酒榨满了，酒池盈溢，他们的罪恶甚大。
14 “许多许多的人在断定谷，因为耶和华的日子临近断定谷。 15 日月昏暗，星宿无光。 16 耶和华必从锡安吼叫，从耶路撒冷发声，天地就震动。耶和华却要做他百姓的避难所，做以色列人的保障。 17 你们就知道我是耶和华你们的神，且又住在锡安我的圣山。那时，耶路撒冷必成为圣，外邦人不再从其中经过。
异邦受罚
18 “到那日，大山要滴甜酒，小山要流奶子，犹大溪河都有水流，必有泉源从耶和华的殿中流出来，滋润什亭谷。 19 埃及必然荒凉，以东变为凄凉的旷野，都因向犹大人所行的强暴，又因在本地流无辜人的血。
犹大永存
20 “但犹大必存到永远，耶路撒冷必存到万代。 21 我未曾报复[c]流血的罪，现在我要报复，因为耶和华住在锡安。”
Joel 3
New King James Version
God Judges the Nations
3 “For behold, (A)in those days and at that time,
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 (B)I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I (C)will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
3 They have (D)cast lots for My people,
Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4 “Indeed, what have you to do with Me,
(E)O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
Will you [a]retaliate against Me?
But if you [b]retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your [c]retaliation upon your own head;
5 Because you have taken My silver and My gold,
And have carried into your temples My [d]prized possessions.
6 Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem
You have sold to the Greeks,
That you may remove them far from their borders.
7 “Behold, (F)I will raise them
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
And will return your [e]retaliation upon your own head.
8 I will sell your sons and your daughters
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
And they will sell them to the (G)Sabeans,[f]
To a people (H)far off;
For the Lord has spoken.”
9 (I)Proclaim this among the nations:
“Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
10 (J)Beat your plowshares into swords
And your [g]pruning hooks into spears;
(K)Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’ ”
11 Assemble and come, all you nations,
And gather together all around.
Cause (L)Your mighty ones to go down there, O Lord.
12 “Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
For there I will sit to (M)judge all the surrounding nations.
13 (N)Put in the sickle, for (O)the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the (P)winepress is full,
The vats overflow—
For their wickedness is great.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For (Q)the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness.
16 The Lord also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
(R)But the Lord will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.
17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling in Zion My (S)holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.”
God Blesses His People
18 And it will come to pass in that day
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
The hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
A (T)fountain shall flow from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of [h]Acacias.
19 “Egypt shall be a desolation,
And Edom a desolate wilderness,
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall abide forever,
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will (U)acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted;
For the Lord dwells in Zion.”
