Joel 2
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Blow ye the horn in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is at hand;
1你們要在 錫安 吹角， 在我聖山吹出大聲。 國中的居民都要發顫； 因為耶和華的日子將到， 已經臨近。
2A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as blackness spread upon the mountains; a great people and a mighty, there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
2那日是黑暗、幽冥、 密雲、烏黑的日子， 好像晨光鋪滿山嶺。 有一隊蝗蟲又大又強； 從來沒有這樣的， 以後直到萬代也必沒有。
3A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame blazeth; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth them.
3牠們前面如火燒滅， 後面如火焰燒盡。 未到以前，地如 伊甸園 ； 過去以後，成了荒涼的曠野； 沒有一樣能躲避牠們的。
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
4牠們的形狀如馬， 奔跑如馬兵。
5Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a mighty people set in battle array.
5在山頂蹦跳的響聲如車輛的響聲， 又如火焰燒碎稭的響聲， 好像強盛的民擺陣預備打仗。
6At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have gathered blackness.
6牠們一來，眾民傷慟， 臉都變色。
7They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; and they move on every one in his ways, and they entangle not their paths.
7牠們如勇士奔跑， 像戰士爬城； 各都步行，不亂隊伍。
8Neither doth one thrust another, they march every one in his highway; and they break through the weapons, and suffer no harm.
8彼此並不擁擠，向前各行其路， 直闖兵器，不偏左右。
9They leap upon the city, they run upon the wall, they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.
9牠們蹦上城，躥上牆， 爬上房屋， 進入窗戶如同盜賊。
10Before them the earth quaketh, the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining.
10牠們一來， 地震天動， 日月昏暗， 星宿無光。
11And the LORD uttereth His voice before His army; for His camp is very great, for he is mighty that executeth His word; for great is the day of the LORD and very terrible; and who can abide it?
11耶和華在他軍旅前發聲， 他的隊伍甚大； 成就他命的是強盛者。 因為耶和華的日子大而可畏， 誰能當得起呢？
12Yet even now, saith the LORD, turn ye unto Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation;
12耶和華說：雖然如此， 你們應當禁食、哭泣、悲哀， 一心歸向我。
13And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God; for He is gracious and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repenteth Him of the evil.
13你們要撕裂心腸， 不撕裂衣服。 歸向耶和華－你們的上帝； 因為他有恩典，有憐憫， 不輕易發怒， 有豐盛的慈愛， 並且後悔不降所說的災。
14Who knoweth whether He will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto the LORD your God?
14或者他轉意後悔，留下餘福， 就是留下獻給耶和華－你們上帝的素祭和奠祭， 也未可知。
15Blow the horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly;
15你們要在 錫安 吹角， 分定禁食的日子， 宣告嚴肅會。
16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her pavilion.
16聚集眾民，使會眾自潔： 招聚老者， 聚集孩童和吃奶的； 使新郎出離洞房， 新婦出離內室。
17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say: 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should make them a byword: wherefore should they say among the peoples: Where is their God?'
17事奉耶和華的祭司 要在廊子和祭壇中間哭泣，說： 耶和華啊，求你顧惜你的百姓， 不要使你的產業受羞辱， 列邦管轄他們。 為何容列國的人說： 「他們的上帝在哪裏」呢？
18Then was the LORD jealous for His land, and had pity on His people.
18耶和華就為自己的地發熱心， 憐恤他的百姓。
19And the LORD answered and said unto His people: 'Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;
19耶和華應允他的百姓說： 我必賜給你們五穀、新酒，和油， 使你們飽足； 我也不再使你們受列國的羞辱；
20But I will remove far off from you the northern one, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the eastern sea, and his hinder part toward the western sea; that his foulness may come up, and his ill savour may come up, because he hath done great things.'
20卻要使北方來的 軍隊 遠離你們， 將他們趕到乾旱荒廢之地： 前隊趕入東海， 後隊趕入西海； 因為他們所行的大惡， 臭氣上升，腥味騰空。
21Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for the LORD hath done great things.
21地土啊，不要懼怕； 要歡喜快樂， 因為耶和華行了大事。
22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength.
22田野的走獸啊，不要懼怕； 因為，曠野的草發生， 樹木結果， 無花果樹、葡萄樹也都效力。
23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He giveth you the former rain in just measure, and He causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, at the first.
23錫安 的民哪，你們要快樂， 為耶和華－你們的上帝歡喜； 因他賜給你們合宜的秋雨， 為你們降下甘霖， 就是秋雨、春雨，和先前一樣。
24And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
24禾場必滿了麥子； 酒醡與油醡必有新酒和油盈溢。
25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpiller, and the palmer-worm, My great army which I sent among you.
25我打發到你們中間的大軍隊， 就是蝗蟲、蝻子、螞蚱、剪蟲， 那些年所吃的，我要補還你們。
26And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be ashamed.
26你們必多吃而得飽足， 就讚美為你們行奇妙事之耶和華－你們上帝的名。 我的百姓必永遠不致羞愧。
27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and there is none else; and My people shall never be ashamed.
27你們必知道我是在 以色列 中間， 又知道我是耶和華－你們的上帝； 在我以外並無別神。 我的百姓必永遠不致羞愧。
28(3-1) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;
28以後，我要將我的靈澆灌凡有血氣的。 你們的兒女要說預言； 你們的老年人要做異夢， 少年人要見異象。
29(3-2) And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit.
29在那些日子， 我要將我的靈澆灌我的僕人和使女。
30(3-3) And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
30「在天上地下，我要顯出奇事，有血，有火，有煙柱。
31(3-4) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
31日頭要變為黑暗，月亮要變為血，這都在耶和華大而可畏的日子未到以前。
32(3-5) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the LORD hath said, and among the remnant those whom the LORD shall call.
32到那時候，凡求告耶和華名的就必得救；因為照耶和華所說的，在 錫安山 ， 耶路撒冷 必有逃脫的人，在剩下的人中必有耶和華所召的。」
