约珥书 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝要审判万国
3 “到那日，在我复兴犹大和耶路撒冷的时候， 2 我要聚集万国，带他们下到约沙法[a]谷，在那里审判他们，因为他们把我的子民，就是我的产业以色列，分散到各国，并瓜分我的土地。 3 他们抽签分了我的子民，将男童换妓女，卖女童买酒喝。
4 “泰尔、西顿和非利士境内所有的人啊，你们为什么这样对我？你们要报复我吗？如果你们是报复我，我必速速使你们遭报应。 5 你们夺去我的金银，抢走我的珍宝，拿去放在你们的庙中， 6 并把犹大和耶路撒冷的居民卖给希腊人，使他们远离家乡。 7 然而，他们被卖到哪里，我要从哪里把他们带回来，并要使你们得到报应， 8 我要把你们的儿女卖给犹大人，犹大人必把他们卖给远方的示巴人。这是耶和华说的。”
9 你们去向万国宣告：
“要召集勇士，征调军队，
前去打仗！
10 要将犁头打成刀剑，
把镰刀铸成矛头，
软弱的人也要做勇士！
11 四围的列国啊，
你们快快聚集到那里吧！”
耶和华啊，
求你差遣大能的勇士降临。
12 “万国都要起来，
上到约沙法谷受审判，
因为我要坐在那里审判他们。
13 开镰吧，因为庄稼熟了；
踩踏吧，因为榨酒池的葡萄满了。
他们恶贯满盈，如酒池满溢。”
14 千千万万的人聚集在审判谷，
因为耶和华的日子要临到那里。
15 日月昏暗，
星辰无光。
16 耶和华从锡安发出怒吼，
从耶路撒冷发出雷声，
天地为之震动。
但耶和华却是祂子民的避难所，
是以色列人的堡垒。
17 “这样，你们就知道我是你们的上帝耶和华，
我住在锡安——我的圣山上。
耶路撒冷必成为圣地，
外族人必不再侵犯它。
18 “到那日，群山要滴下甜酒，
丘陵要流出乳汁。
犹大的溪涧碧水常流，
必有清泉从耶和华的殿中流出，
浇灌什亭谷。
19 埃及必一片荒凉，
以东必成为不毛之地，
因为他们曾残暴地对待犹大人，
在犹大滥杀无辜。
20 但犹大必人口兴盛，
耶路撒冷必存到万代。
21 我必追讨[b]尚未追讨的血债，
因为耶和华住在锡安。”
約珥書 3
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝要審判萬國
3 「到那日，在我復興猶大和耶路撒冷的時候， 2 我要聚集萬國，帶他們下到約沙法[a]谷，在那裡審判他們，因為他們把我的子民，就是我的產業以色列，分散到各國，並瓜分我的土地。 3 他們抽籤分了我的子民，將男童換妓女，賣女童買酒喝。
4 「泰爾、西頓和非利士境內所有的人啊，你們為什麼這樣對我？你們要報復我嗎？如果你們是報復我，我必速速使你們遭報應。 5 你們奪去我的金銀，搶走我的珍寶，拿去放在你們的廟中， 6 並把猶大和耶路撒冷的居民賣給希臘人，使他們遠離家鄉。 7 然而，他們被賣到哪裡，我要從哪裡把他們帶回來，並要使你們得到報應， 8 我要把你們的兒女賣給猶大人，猶大人必把他們賣給遠方的示巴人。這是耶和華說的。」
9 你們去向萬國宣告：
「要召集勇士，徵調軍隊，
前去打仗！
10 要將犁頭打成刀劍，
把鐮刀鑄成矛頭，
軟弱的人也要做勇士！
11 四圍的列國啊，
你們快快聚集到那裡吧！」
耶和華啊，
求你差遣大能的勇士降臨。
12 「萬國都要起來，
上到約沙法谷受審判，
因為我要坐在那裡審判他們。
13 開鐮吧，因為莊稼熟了；
踩踏吧，因為榨酒池的葡萄滿了。
他們惡貫滿盈，如酒池滿溢。」
14 千千萬萬的人聚集在審判谷，
因為耶和華的日子要臨到那裡。
15 日月昏暗，
星辰無光。
16 耶和華從錫安發出怒吼，
從耶路撒冷發出雷聲，
天地為之震動。
但耶和華卻是祂子民的避難所，
是以色列人的堡壘。
17 「這樣，你們就知道我是你們的上帝耶和華，
我住在錫安——我的聖山上。
耶路撒冷必成為聖地，
外族人必不再侵犯它。
18 「到那日，群山要滴下甜酒，
丘陵要流出乳汁。
猶大的溪澗碧水常流，
必有清泉從耶和華的殿中流出，
澆灌什亭谷。
19 埃及必一片荒涼，
以東必成為不毛之地，
因為他們曾殘暴地對待猶大人，
在猶大濫殺無辜。
20 但猶大必人口興盛，
耶路撒冷必存到萬代。
21 我必追討[b]尚未追討的血債，
因為耶和華住在錫安。」
Joel 3
New American Standard Bible
The Nations Will Be Judged
3 “[a]For behold, (A)in those days and at that time,
When I (B)restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will (C)gather all the nations
And bring them down to the (D)Valley of [b]Jehoshaphat.
Then I will (E)enter into judgment with them there
On behalf of My people and My inheritance, Israel,
Whom they have (F)scattered among the nations;
And they have (G)divided up My land.
3 They have also (H)cast lots for My people,
[c](I)Traded a boy for a prostitute,
And sold a girl for wine so that they may drink.
4 Moreover, what are you to Me, (J)Tyre, Sidon, and all the regions of (K)Philistia? Are you repaying Me with retribution? But if you are showing Me retribution, swiftly and speedily I will (L)return your retribution on your head! 5 Since you have (M)taken My silver and My gold, brought My precious [d]treasures to your temples, 6 and sold the (N)sons of Judah and Jerusalem to the [e]Greeks in order to remove them far from their territory, 7 behold, I am going to (O)stir them up from the place where you have sold them, and return your retribution on your head. 8 I will also (P)sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the (Q)Sabeans, to a distant nation,” for the Lord has spoken.
9 (R)Proclaim this among the nations:
(S)Prepare for holy war; (T)stir up the warriors!
Have all the soldiers come forward, have them come up!
10 (U)Beat your plowshares into swords,
And your pruning hooks into spears;
(V)Let the weak man say, “I am a warrior.”
11 [f](W)Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations,
And gather yourselves there.
Bring down, Lord, Your (X)warriors.
12 Let the nations be awakened
And come up to the (Y)Valley of [g]Jehoshaphat,
For there I will sit to (Z)judge
All the surrounding nations.
13 (AA)Put in the sickle, for the (AB)harvest is ripe.
Come, (AC)tread the grapes, for the (AD)wine press is full;
The vats overflow, for their (AE)wickedness is great.
14 (AF)Multitudes, multitudes in the (AG)valley of [h]decision!
For the (AH)day of the Lord is near in the valley of [i]decision.
15 The (AI)sun and moon have become dark,
And the stars have lost their brightness.
16 The Lord (AJ)roars from Zion
And (AK)utters His voice from Jerusalem,
And the (AL)heavens and the earth quake.
But the Lord is a (AM)refuge for His people,
And a (AN)stronghold for the sons of Israel.
17 Then you will (AO)know that I am the Lord your God,
Dwelling on Zion, My (AP)holy mountain.
So Jerusalem will be (AQ)holy,
And (AR)strangers will no longer pass through it.
Judah Will Be Blessed
18 And on that day
The (AS)mountains will drip with [j]sweet wine,
And the hills will (AT)flow with milk,
And all the (AU)brooks of Judah will flow with water;
And a (AV)spring will go out from the house of the Lord
And water the Valley of [k]Shittim.
19 Egypt will become a wasteland,
And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,
Because of the (AW)violence [l]done to the sons of Judah,
In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
20 But Judah will be (AX)inhabited forever,
And Jerusalem for all generations.
21 And I will (AY)avenge their blood which I have not avenged,
For the Lord dwells in Zion.
