1Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Joël, filium Phatuel.
1This is the word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel:
2[Audite hoc, senes, et auribus percipite, omnes habitatores terræ: si factum est istud in diebus vestris, aut in diebus patrum vestrorum?
2Hear this, O elders; and give ear, all who dwell in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your fathers?
3Super hoc filiis vestris narrate, et filii vestri filiis suis, et filii eorum generationi alteræ.
3Tell it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
4Residuum erucæ comedit locusta, et residuum locustæ comedit bruchus, et residuum bruchi comedit rubigo.
4What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
5Expergiscimini, ebrii, et flete et ululate, omnes qui bibitis vinum in dulcedine, quoniam periit ab ore vestro.
5Wake up, you drunkards, and weep; wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it has been cut off from your mouth.
6Gens enim ascendit super terram meam, fortis et innumerabilis: dentes ejus ut dentes leonis, et molares ejus ut catuli leonis.
6For a nation has invaded My land, powerful and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and its fangs are the fangs of a lioness.
7Posuit vineam meam in desertum, et ficum meam decorticavit; nudans spoliavit eam, et projecit: albi facti sunt rami ejus.
7It has laid waste My grapevine and splintered My fig tree. It has stripped off the bark and thrown it away; the branches have turned white.
8Plange quasi virgo accincta sacco super virum pubertatis suæ.
8Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth, grieving for the husband of her youth.
9Periit sacrificium et libatio de domo Domini; luxerunt sacerdotes, ministri Domini.
9Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD.
10Depopulata est regio, luxit humus, quoniam devastatum est triticum, confusum est vinum, elanguit oleum.
10The field is ruined; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.
11Confusi sunt agricolæ, ululaverunt vinitores super frumento et hordeo, quia periit messis agri.
11Be dismayed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
12Vinea confusa est, et ficus elanguit; malogranatum, et palma, et malum, et omnia ligna agri aruerunt, quia confusum est gaudium a filiis hominum.
12The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple— all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
13Accingite vos, et plangite, sacerdotes: ululate, ministri altaris; ingredimini, cubate in sacco, ministri Dei mei, quoniam interiit de domo Dei vestri sacrificium et libatio.
13Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, because the grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
14Sanctificate jejunium, vocate cœtum, congregate senes, omnes habitatores terræ in domum Dei vestri, et clamate ad Dominum:
14Consecrate a fast; proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
15A, a, a, diei ! quia prope est dies Domini, et quasi vastitas a potente veniet.
15Alas for the day! For the Day of the LORD is near, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
16Numquid non coram oculis vestris alimenta perierunt de domo Dei nostri, lætitia et exsultatio?
16Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17Computruerunt jumenta in stercore suo, demolita sunt horrea, dissipatæ sunt apothecæ, quoniam confusum est triticum.
17The seeds lie shriveled beneath the clods; the storehouses are in ruins; the granaries are broken down, for the grain has withered away.
18Quid ingemuit animal, mugierunt greges armenti? quia non est pascua eis; sed et greges pecorum disperierunt.
18How the cattle groan! The herds wander in confusion because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19Ad te, Domine, clamabo, quia ignis comedit speciosa deserti, et flamma succendit omnia ligna regionis.
19To You, O LORD, I call, for fire has consumed the open pastures and flames have scorched all the trees of the field.
20Sed et bestiæ agri, quasi area sitiens imbrem, suspexerunt ad te, quoniam exsiccati sunt fontes aquarum, et ignis devoravit speciosa deserti.]
20Even the beasts of the field pant for You, for the streams of water have dried up, and fire has consumed the open pastures.
