约珥书 3
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
審判萬國
3 “看哪！到了那些日子，在那個時期，
我使猶大和耶路撒冷被擄的人歸回，（本節在《馬索拉文本》為4:1）
2 我必招聚列國，
領他們下到約沙法谷，
為了我的子民，就是我的產業以色列，
我要在那裡親臨審判他們，
因為他們把我的子民分散在列國中，
又分取了我的地土。
3 他們為我的子民抽籤，
用男童交換妓女，
女童被賣換酒喝。
4 “推羅、西頓和非利士四境的人哪！你們想對我作甚麼呢？你們想向我報復嗎？你們若向我報復，我很快就使報應歸在你們的頭上。 5 你們拿去了我的金銀，又把我的珍寶帶進了你們的廟宇。 6 你們把猶大人和耶路撒冷人賣給希臘人，使他們遠離自己的境界。 7 看哪！我要激動他們離開被你們賣到的地方，我也要使報應歸到你們的頭上。 8 我必把你們的兒女賣在猶大人的手中，猶大人必把他們賣給遠方示巴國的人，因為這是耶和華說的。”
9 你們要在列國中宣告以下這話：
“你們要預備爭戰，
要激動勇士。
讓所有的戰士都近前來，讓他們都上去攻擊。
10 要把犁頭打成刀劍，
把鐮刀打成矛槍；
軟弱的要說：
‘我是勇士。’
11 四圍的列國啊！
你們快來幫助，
在那裡一同聚集。
耶和華啊！求你叫你的勇士下來吧。
在約沙法谷審判萬民
12 “萬國都當奮起，
上到約沙法谷去。
因為我必坐在那裡，
審判四圍的列國。
13 你們要伸出鐮刀，
因為莊稼已經熟了。
來踐踏吧，
因為壓酒池滿了，
酒池盈溢，
因為他們的罪惡極大。
14 無數的人群
齊集在判決谷，
因為耶和華的日子臨近了判決谷。
15 日月昏暗，
星星無光。
16 耶和華從錫安吼叫，
並從耶路撒冷發聲，
天地就震動。
耶和華卻要作他子民的避難所，
作以色列眾子的保障。
17 你們知道我是耶和華你們的 神，
是住在錫安我的聖山上。
那時，耶路撒冷必成為聖。
外族人必不得從其中經過。
18 到那日，
大山都必滴下甜酒，
小山都必流出奶，
猶大的一切溪流，
都必水流不息。
必有泉源從耶和華的殿裡流出來，
灌溉什亭谷。
19 埃及將會荒涼，
以東必變成淒涼的曠野，
都因為他們向猶大人所行的強暴，
又因為在他們的國中流了無辜人血。
猶大必永存
20 “但猶大必存到永遠，
耶路撒冷也必存到萬代。
21 現在我要追討我還未有追討的流人血的罪。
耶和華在錫安居住。”
Joel 3
Revised Standard Version
3 [a] “For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, 2 I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehosh′aphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations, and have divided up my land, 3 and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and have sold a girl for wine, and have drunk it.
4 “What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will requite your deed upon your own head swiftly and speedily. 5 For you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my rich treasures into your temples.[b] 6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, removing them far from their own border. 7 But now I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will requite your deed upon your own head. 8 I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabe′ans, to a nation far off; for the Lord has spoken.”
Judgment in the Valley of Jehoshaphat
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
Prepare war,
stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near,
let them come up.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords,
and your pruning hooks into spears;
let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
11 Hasten and come,
all you nations round about,
gather yourselves there.
Bring down thy warriors, O Lord.
12 Let the nations bestir themselves,
and come up to the valley of Jehosh′aphat;
for there I will sit to judge
all the nations round about.
13 Put in the sickle,
for the harvest is ripe.
Go in, tread,
for the wine press is full.
The vats overflow,
for their wickedness is great.
14 Multitudes, multitudes,
in the valley of decision!
For the day of the Lord is near
in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
16 And the Lord roars from Zion,
and utters his voice from Jerusalem,
and the heavens and the earth shake.
But the Lord is a refuge to his people,
a stronghold to the people of Israel.
The Glorious Future of Judah
17 “So you shall know that I am the Lord your God,
who dwell in Zion, my holy mountain.
And Jerusalem shall be holy
and strangers shall never again pass through it.
18 “And in that day
the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and the hills shall flow with milk,
and all the stream beds of Judah
shall flow with water;
and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord
and water the valley of Shittim.
19 “Egypt shall become a desolation
and Edom a desolate wilderness,
for the violence done to the people of Judah,
because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall be inhabited for ever,
and Jerusalem to all generations.
21 I will avenge their blood, and I will not clear the guilty,[c]
for the Lord dwells in Zion.”
