Lời Tựa
1 Lời của Chúa phán với Giô-ên con trai Pê-thu-ên:
Tai Họa Ðến trên Ðất Nước
2 Hỡi các trưởng lão, hãy lắng nghe những điều nầy,
Hỡi tất cả dân cư trong xứ, hãy lắng tai nghe.
Có bao giờ việc như thế nầy đã xảy ra trong thời của các ngươi,
Hoặc trong thời của tổ tiên các ngươi chăng?
3 Hãy kể lại cho con cái các ngươi để chúng biết,
Hầu con cái các ngươi sẽ kể lại cho con cái của chúng,
Con cái của chúng sẽ kể lại cho thế hệ tiếp theo:
4 Vật gì cào cào đầu nhỏ bỏ lại, cào cào đầu lớn ăn.
Vật gì cào cào đầu lớn bỏ lại, cào cào cánh ngắn ăn.
Vật gì cào cào cánh ngắn bỏ lại, cào cào cánh dài ăn.
5 Hỡi những kẻ say sưa, hãy tỉnh dậy và khóc lóc;
Hỡi mọi kẻ ghiền rượu, hãy mếu máo than van,
Vì rượu mới chưa kịp uống đã bị cướp mất;
6 Vì một dân hùng mạnh và đông vô số đã xâm lăng xứ sở chúng ta;[a]
Răng của nó như răng sư tử;
Nanh của nó như nanh sư tử cái.
7 Nó đã phá tan hoang cây nho của chúng ta;
Nó đã biến cây vả của chúng ta thành đống củi lộn.
Nó tước sạch vỏ rồi quăng xuống;
Nó lột sạch các cành, khiến chúng trắng hếu trụi trơ.
8 Hãy than khóc như người trinh nữ trẻ mặc tang phục khóc thương cho hôn phu nàng vừa mới mất.
9 Trong nhà Chúa, của lễ chay và của lễ quán không còn dâng nữa.
Các tư tế, tức các tôi tớ Chúa, buồn thảm như thể đang thọ tang.
10 Ruộng đồng bị bỏ hoang, đất đai tiêu điều,
Lúa gạo hư hại, rượu mới chẳng còn, dầu ô-liu khan hiếm.
11 Hỡi các nông phu, hãy thẹn thùng xấu hổ,
Hỡi những kẻ trồng nho, hãy khóc lóc than van,
Vì lúa mì và lúa mạch không còn nữa,
Bởi ruộng nương bị phá hủy cả rồi.
12 Cây nho cằn cỗi, cây vả héo khô;
Cây lựu, cây chà là, và cây táo cùng chung số phận;
Tất cả cây cối ngoài đồng khô héo,
Và như thế niềm vui của con cái loài người cũng khô héo theo.”
Kêu Gọi Ăn Năn và Cầu Nguyện
13 Hỡi các tư tế, hãy mặc tang phục và than khóc;
Hỡi những người phục vụ nơi bàn thờ, hãy khóc lóc thở than;
Hỡi các tôi tớ của Ðức Chúa Trời, hãy đến,
Hãy mặc vải thô và nằm than thở suốt đêm,
Vì nơi nhà Ðức Chúa Trời của lễ chay và của lễ quán đã bị cắt.
14 Hãy biệt riêng ra một cuộc kiêng ăn;
Hãy triệu tập một đại hội trọng thể;
Hãy mời các trưởng lão và toàn dân trong xứ đến nhà Chúa, Ðức Chúa Trời của anh chị em,
Rồi hãy cùng nhau kêu cầu Chúa.
15 Than ôi, ngày ấy đang đến!
Ngày của Chúa đang đến gần;
Nó đến như một cơn hủy diệt từ Ðấng Toàn Năng.
16 Há chẳng phải thực phẩm bị cắt trước mắt chúng ta sao?
Sự hân hoan và vui vẻ cũng chẳng còn thấy nơi nhà Ðức Chúa Trời chúng ta sao?
17 Hạt giống chết khô dưới lớp đất,
Các vựa lúa trở thành nhà hoang,
Các kho gạo trống không đổ nát,
Bởi vì chẳng còn lúa gạo.
18 Súc vật rên rỉ thảm thương,
Trâu bò lang thang đói khát,
Vì chẳng có đồng cỏ cho chúng;
Ngay cả các đàn chiên cũng cùng chung số phận.
19 Lạy Chúa, con cầu xin Ngài,
Vì lửa đã thiêu rụi những đồng cỏ trong đồng hoang,
Và ngọn lửa đã đốt cháy mọi cây cối ngoài đồng.
20 Ngay cả các thú hoang cũng van xin Ngài,
Vì các dòng nước đều khô cạn,
Và lửa đã thiêu rụi những đồng cỏ trong đồng hoang.

New International Version
1 The word of the Lord that came(A) to Joel(B) son of Pethuel.
An Invasion of Locusts
2 Hear this,(C) you elders;(D)
listen, all who live in the land.(E)
Has anything like this ever happened in your days
or in the days of your ancestors?(F)
3 Tell it to your children,(G)
and let your children tell it to their children,
and their children to the next generation.(H)
4 What the locust(I) swarm has left
the great locusts have eaten;
what the great locusts have left
the young locusts have eaten;
what the young locusts have left(J)
other locusts[a] have eaten.(K)
5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you drinkers of wine;(L)
wail because of the new wine,
for it has been snatched(M) from your lips.
6 A nation has invaded my land,
a mighty army without number;(N)
it has the teeth(O) of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste(P) my vines
and ruined my fig trees.(Q)
It has stripped off their bark
and thrown it away,
leaving their branches white.
8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth(R)
grieving for the betrothed of her youth.
9 Grain offerings and drink offerings(S)
are cut off from the house of the Lord.
The priests are in mourning,(T)
those who minister before the Lord.
10 The fields are ruined,
the ground is dried up;(U)
the grain is destroyed,
the new wine(V) is dried up,
the olive oil fails.(W)
11 Despair, you farmers,(X)
wail, you vine growers;
grieve for the wheat and the barley,(Y)
because the harvest of the field is destroyed.(Z)
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;(AA)
the pomegranate,(AB) the palm and the apple[b] tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.(AC)
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
A Call to Lamentation
13 Put on sackcloth,(AD) you priests, and mourn;
wail, you who minister(AE) before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings(AF)
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;(AG)
call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
and all who live in the land(AH)
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out(AI) to the Lord.(AJ)
15 Alas for that(AK) day!
For the day of the Lord(AL) is near;
it will come like destruction from the Almighty.[c](AM)
16 Has not the food been cut off(AN)
before our very eyes—
joy and gladness(AO)
from the house of our God?(AP)
17 The seeds are shriveled
beneath the clods.[d](AQ)
The storehouses are in ruins,
the granaries have been broken down,
for the grain has dried up.
18 How the cattle moan!
The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;(AR)
even the flocks of sheep are suffering.(AS)

1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's ministers, mourn.
10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
19 O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

The Locust Plague in Judah
1 The word of the Lord that came to (A)Joel the son of Pethuel.
The Land Laid Waste(B)
2 Hear this, you elders,
And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!
(C)Has anything like this happened in your days,
Or even in the days of your fathers?
3 (D)Tell your children about it,
Let your children tell their children,
And their children another generation.
4 (E)What the chewing [a]locust left, the (F)swarming locust has eaten;
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
5 Awake, you (G)drunkards, and weep;
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
(H)For it has been cut off from your mouth.
6 For (I)a nation has come up against My land,
Strong, and without number;
(J)His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a [b]fierce lion.
7 He has (K)laid waste My vine,
And [c]ruined My fig tree;
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.
8 (L)Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth
For (M)the husband of her youth.
9 (N)The grain offering and the drink offering
Have been cut off from the house of the Lord;
The priests (O)mourn, who minister to the Lord.
10 The field is wasted,
(P)The land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
(Q)The new wine is dried up,
The oil fails.
11 (R)Be ashamed, you farmers,
Wail, you vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley;
Because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 (S)The vine has dried up,
And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely (T)joy has withered away from the sons of men.
Mourning for the Land
13 (U)Gird yourselves and lament, you priests;
Wail, you who minister before the altar;
Come, lie all night in sackcloth,
You who minister to my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
14 (V)Consecrate a fast,
Call (W)a sacred assembly;
Gather the elders
And (X)all the inhabitants of the land
Into the house of the Lord your God,
And cry out to the Lord.
15 (Y)Alas for the day!
For (Z)the day of the Lord is at hand;
It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
16 Is not the food (AA)cut off before our eyes,
(AB)Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
18 How (AC)the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are restless,
Because they have no pasture;
Even the flocks of sheep [d]suffer punishment.
