约珥书 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶和華的日子快來
2 你們要在錫安吹號，
並在我的聖山發出警訊，
讓國中所有的居民都戰慄，
因為耶和華的日子快到，必然臨近了。
2 那日是黑暗幽冥的日子，
是密雲漆黑的日子。
有一隊眾多強盛的民來到，
好像晨光滿布群山；
這樣的事從前沒有發生過，
以後直到萬代，也不會發生。
3 在他們前面有吞滅的火，
在他們後面有燃燒的火燄；
他們未到以前，大地像伊甸園，
他們過去以後，大地成了荒涼的曠野，
沒有一樣能逃避他們的。
4 他們的形狀像馬的形狀，
戰馬怎樣奔跑，他們也怎樣奔跑。
5 他們在群山頂上跳躍的聲音，
如戰車的響聲，
又如火燄
吞滅碎稭的響聲，
像強盛的民
擺陣預備作戰。
6 在他們面前，萬民苦惱，
人人臉紅耳赤。
7 他們奔跑像勇士，
又像戰士爬上城牆；
他們各按自己的路前行，
並不偏離路線。
8 他們彼此不擁擠，
各按自己的道前行；
甚至他們持著兵器跌倒，
也不會被剪除。
9 他們衝入城鎮，
奔上城牆，
爬進房屋，
像盜賊一樣從窗戶爬進去。
10 在他們面前，大地震動，
諸天搖撼，
日月昏暗，
星星無光。
11 耶和華在他的軍隊前頭
發出聲音；
他的隊伍極大，
成就他話語的，是強盛的人。
耶和華的日子偉大，
非常可畏，誰能忍受得住呢？
呼籲人民悔改歸向 神
12 耶和華說：
“現在雖然如此，
你們仍要全心全意，
以禁食、哭泣、哀號，歸向我。”
13 你們要撕裂你們的心腸，
不要撕裂你們的衣服。
並要歸向耶和華你們的 神，
因為他有恩典有憐憫，
不輕易發怒，
並且有豐盛的慈愛，
隨時轉意不降災禍。
14 有誰知道或許他會轉意，並且施慈愛，
留下餘福，
就是留下獻給耶和華你們的 神的素祭和奠祭。
15 你們要在錫安吹號角，
把禁食的日子分別為聖，
召開嚴肅會。
16 你們要召集民眾，
使會眾分別為聖；
招聚老人，
聚集孩童，
和在懷中吃奶的嬰孩；
讓新郎從新房出來，
新婦從內室出來。
17 讓事奉耶和華的祭司
在聖殿的廊子和祭壇之間哭泣，
讓他們說：“耶和華啊！求你憐恤你的子民。
不要使你的產業受羞辱，
使他們在列國中成為笑談。
為甚麼容人在萬民中譏笑說：
‘他們的 神在哪裡呢？’”
再賜恩福
18 於是耶和華為了自己的地發熱心，
憐恤他的子民。
19 耶和華應允他的子民，對他們說：
“看哪！我必賜給你們
五穀、新酒和新油，
你們必吃得飽足，
我必不再使你們
成為列國中的羞辱。
20 我要使北方來的軍隊
遠離你們；
我要把他們驅逐
到乾旱荒涼之地，
他們的前隊趕入東海，
他們的後隊趕入西海；
並且他們的臭氣上升，
他們的腥味上騰，
因為耶和華行了大事。
21 地土啊！你不要懼怕；
你要歡喜快樂，
因為耶和華行了大事。
22 田野的走獸啊，你們不要懼怕，
因為曠野的草場又發青了，
樹木又結果子了，
無花果樹和葡萄樹也都效力了。
23 錫安的人民哪！你們要歡喜，
要靠耶和華你們的 神快樂，
因為他賜給了你們合時的秋雨。
他給你們降下時雨，
就是秋雨春雨，像以前一樣。
24 禾場上必滿了五穀；
榨酒池與油醡必溢出新酒與新油。
25 我差遣到你們中間去的，
我的大軍隊，
就是蝗蟲、蝻子、螞蚱和剪蟲，
在那些年間吃盡的，
我必補給你們。
26 你們必吃得豐富，
並且飽足，
你們就讚美耶和華你們的 神的名，
因為他為你們行了奇妙的事。
我的子民必永遠不會羞愧。
27 這樣，你們必知道我是在以色列中間，
又知道我是耶和華你們的 神，除了我再沒有別的神。
我的子民必永遠不會羞愧。
應許賜下聖靈
28 “以後，我要把我的靈
澆灌所有的人。
你們的兒女要說預言，
你們的老年人要作異夢，
你們的少年人要見異象。
29 在那些日子，我也要把我的靈澆灌僕人和婢女。
30 我要在天上地下顯出神蹟奇事，
有血、有火、有煙柱。
31 太陽將變為黑暗，
月亮將變為血紅。
在耶和華偉大可畏的日子臨到以前，
這一切都要發生。
32 那時，求告耶和華的名的，
都必得救；
因為正如耶和華所說的，
在錫安山和耶路撒冷必有得救的人，在劫後餘生的人中，必有耶和華所呼召的。”（本章第28~32節在《馬索拉文本》為3:1~5）

The Locusts as a Warning of the Day of the Lord
2 Blow the trumpet; sound the alarm
on Zion, God's sacred hill.[a]
Tremble, people of Judah!
The day of the Lord is coming soon.
2 It will be a dark and gloomy day,
a black and cloudy day.
The great army of locusts advances
like darkness spreading over the mountains.
There has never been anything like it,
and there never will be again.
3 Like fire they eat up the plants.
In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden,
but behind them it is a barren desert.
Nothing escapes them.
4 (A)They look like horses;
they run like war-horses.
5 As they leap on the tops of the mountains,
they rattle like chariots;
they crackle like dry grass on fire.
They are lined up like a great army ready for battle.
6 As they approach, everyone is terrified;
every face turns pale.
7 They attack like warriors;
they climb the walls like soldiers.
They all keep marching straight ahead
and do not change direction
8 or get in each other's way.
They swarm through defenses,
and nothing can stop them.
9 They rush against the city;
they run over the walls;
they climb up the houses
and go in through the windows like thieves.
10 (B)The earth shakes as they advance;
the sky trembles.
The sun and the moon grow dark,
and the stars no longer shine.
11 (C)The Lord thunders commands to his army.
The troops that obey him
are many and mighty.
How terrible is the day of the Lord!
Who will survive it?
A Call to Repentance
12 “But even now,” says the Lord,
“repent sincerely and return to me
with fasting and weeping and mourning.
13 Let your broken heart show your sorrow;
tearing your clothes is not enough.”
Come back to the Lord your God.
He is kind and full of mercy;
he is patient and keeps his promise;
he is always ready to forgive and not punish.
14 Perhaps the Lord your God will change his mind
and bless you with abundant crops.
Then you can offer him grain and wine.
15 Blow the trumpet on Mount Zion;
give orders for a fast and call an assembly!
16 Gather the people together;
prepare them for a sacred meeting;
bring the old people;
gather the children
and the babies too.
Even newly married couples
must leave their homes and come.
17 (D)The priests, serving the Lord
between the altar and the entrance of the Temple,
must weep and pray:
“Have pity on your people, Lord.
Do not let other nations despise us and mock us
by saying, ‘Where is your God?’”
God Restores Fertility to the Land
18 Then the Lord showed concern for his land;
he had mercy on his people.
19 He answered them:
“Now I am going to give you
grain and wine and olive oil,
and you will be satisfied.
Other nations will no longer despise you.
20 I will remove the locust army that came from the north
and will drive some of them into the desert.
Their front ranks will be driven into the Dead Sea,
their rear ranks into the Mediterranean.
Their dead bodies will stink.
I will destroy them because of all they have done to you.
21 “Fields, don't be afraid,
but be joyful and glad
because of all the Lord has done for you.
22 Animals, don't be afraid.
The pastures are green;
the trees bear their fruit,
and there are plenty of figs and grapes.
23 “Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice at what the Lord your God has done for you.
He has given you the right amount of autumn rain;[b]
he has poured down the winter rain for you
and the spring rain as before.
24 The threshing places will be full of grain;
the pits beside the presses will overflow with wine and olive oil.
25 I will give you back what you lost
in the years when swarms of locusts ate your crops.
It was I who sent this army against you.
26 Now you will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied.
You will praise the Lord your God,
who has done wonderful things for you.
My people will never be despised again.
27 Then, Israel, you will know that I am among you
and that I, the Lord, am your God
and there is no other.
My people will never be despised again.
The Day of the Lord
28 “Afterward I will pour out my Spirit on everyone:
your sons and daughters will proclaim my message;
your old people will have dreams,
and your young people will see visions.
29 At that time I will pour out my Spirit
even on servants, both men and women.
30 “I will give warnings of that day
in the sky and on the earth;
there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke.
31 (E)The sun will be darkened,
and the moon will turn red as blood
before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
32 (F)But all who ask the Lord for help will be saved.
As the Lord has said,
‘Some in Jerusalem will escape;
those whom I choose will survive.’”

An Army of Locusts
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the Lord(D) is coming.
It is close at hand(E)—
2 a day of darkness(F) and gloom,(G)
a day of clouds(H) and blackness.(I)
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army(J) comes,
such as never was in ancient times(K)
nor ever will be in ages to come.
3 Before them fire(L) devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,(M)
behind them, a desert waste(N)—
nothing escapes them.
4 They have the appearance of horses;(O)
they gallop along like cavalry.
5 With a noise like that of chariots(P)
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire(Q) consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;(R)
every face turns pale.(S)
7 They charge like warriors;(T)
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,(U)
not swerving(V) from their course.
8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.
9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;(W)
like thieves they enter through the windows.(X)
10 Before them the earth shakes,(Y)
the heavens tremble,(Z)
the sun and moon are darkened,(AA)
and the stars no longer shine.(AB)
11 The Lord(AC) thunders(AD)
at the head of his army;(AE)
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty is the army that obeys his command.
The day of the Lord is great;(AF)
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?(AG)
Rend Your Heart
12 “Even now,” declares the Lord,
“return(AH) to me with all your heart,(AI)
with fasting and weeping and mourning.”
13 Rend your heart(AJ)
and not your garments.(AK)
Return(AL) to the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,(AM)
slow to anger and abounding in love,(AN)
and he relents from sending calamity.(AO)
14 Who knows? He may turn(AP) and relent(AQ)
and leave behind a blessing(AR)—
grain offerings and drink offerings(AS)
for the Lord your God.
15 Blow the trumpet(AT) in Zion,(AU)
declare a holy fast,(AV)
call a sacred assembly.(AW)
16 Gather the people,
consecrate(AX) the assembly;
bring together the elders,(AY)
gather the children,
those nursing at the breast.
Let the bridegroom(AZ) leave his room
and the bride her chamber.
17 Let the priests, who minister(BA) before the Lord,
weep(BB) between the portico and the altar.(BC)
Let them say, “Spare your people, Lord.
Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn,(BD)
a byword(BE) among the nations.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?(BF)’”
The Lord’s Answer
19 The Lord replied[a] to them:
“I am sending you grain, new wine(BI) and olive oil,(BJ)
enough to satisfy you fully;(BK)
never again will I make you
an object of scorn(BL) to the nations.
20 “I will drive the northern horde(BM) far from you,
pushing it into a parched and barren land;
its eastern ranks will drown in the Dead Sea
and its western ranks in the Mediterranean Sea.
And its stench(BN) will go up;
its smell will rise.”
Surely he has done great things!
21 Do not be afraid,(BO) land of Judah;
be glad and rejoice.(BP)
Surely the Lord has done great things!(BQ)
22 Do not be afraid, you wild animals,
for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.(BR)
The trees are bearing their fruit;
the fig tree(BS) and the vine(BT) yield their riches.(BU)
23 Be glad, people of Zion,
rejoice(BV) in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains
because he is faithful.(BW)
He sends you abundant showers,(BX)
both autumn(BY) and spring rains,(BZ) as before.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow(CA) with new wine(CB) and oil.
25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts(CC) have eaten(CD)—
the great locust and the young locust,
the other locusts and the locust swarm[b]—
my great army(CE) that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,(CF)
and you will praise(CG) the name of the Lord your God,
who has worked wonders(CH) for you;
never again will my people be shamed.(CI)
27 Then you will know(CJ) that I am in Israel,
that I am the Lord(CK) your God,
and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.(CL)
The Day of the Lord
28 “And afterward,
I will pour out my Spirit(CM) on all people.(CN)
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,(CO)
your old men will dream dreams,(CP)
your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants,(CQ) both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days.(CR)
30 I will show wonders in the heavens(CS)
and on the earth,(CT)
blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness(CU)
and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.(CV)
32 And everyone who calls
on the name of the Lord(CW) will be saved;(CX)
for on Mount Zion(CY) and in Jerusalem
there will be deliverance,(CZ)
as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors(DA)
whom the Lord calls.[c](DB)
