14 (A)Consecrate a fast,
Call (B)a sacred assembly;
Gather the elders
And (C)all the inhabitants of the land
Into the house of the Lord your God,
And cry out to the Lord.

15 (D)Alas for the day!
For (E)the day of the Lord is at hand;
It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
16 Is not the food (F)cut off before our eyes,
(G)Joy and gladness from the house of our God?

14 Organicen un día de ayuno.
    Proclamen un día de descanso
de los ancianos líderes
    y de todos los habitantes del país,
en el templo del SEÑOR su Dios,
    y pídanle a gritos al SEÑOR.

15 Llénense de temor porque se acerca el día del juicio del SEÑOR.
    El Todopoderoso los destruirá con toda su fuerza.
16 ¿No ven que ya no hay comida
    y se acabaron la alegría y las celebraciones en el templo de nuestro Dios?

    the day when the Almighty brings destruction.
    What terror that day will bring!

    There is no joy in the Temple of our God.
