Joel 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 God's Message to Joel son of Pethuel:

2 Attention, elder statesmen! Listen closely, everyone, whoever and wherever you are! Have you ever heard of anything like this? Has anything like this ever happened before - ever?

3 Make sure you tell your children, and your children tell their children, And their children their children. Don't let this message die out.

4 What the chewing locust left, the gobbling locust ate; What the gobbling locust left, the munching locust ate; What the munching locust left, the chomping locust ate.

5 Sober up, you drunks! Get in touch with reality - and weep! Your supply of booze is cut off. You're on the wagon, like it or not.

6 My country's being invaded by an army invincible, past numbering, Teeth like those of a lion, fangs like those of a tiger.

7 It has ruined my vineyards, stripped my orchards, And clear-cut the country. The landscape's a moonscape.

8 Weep like a young virgin dressed in black, mourning the loss of her fiancé.

9 Without grain and grapes, worship has been brought to a standstill in the Sanctuary of God. The priests are at a loss. God's ministers don't know what to do.

10 The fields are sterile. The very ground grieves. The wheat fields are lifeless, vineyards dried up, olive oil gone.

11 Dirt farmers, despair! Grape growers, wring your hands! Lament the loss of wheat and barley. All crops have failed.

12 Vineyards dried up, fig trees withered, Pomegranates, date palms, and apple trees - deadwood everywhere! And joy is dried up and withered in the hearts of the people. Nothing's Going On in the Place of Worship

13 And also you priests, put on your robes and join the outcry. You who lead people in worship, lead them in lament. Spend the night dressed in gunnysacks, you servants of my God. Nothing's going on in the place of worship, no offerings, no prayers - nothing.

14 Declare a holy fast, call a special meeting, get the leaders together, Round up everyone in the country. Get them into God's Sanctuary for serious prayer to God.

15 What a day! Doomsday! God's Judgment Day has come. The Strong God has arrived. This is serious business!

16 Food is just a memory at our tables, as are joy and singing from God's Sanctuary.

17 The seeds in the field are dead, barns deserted, Grain silos abandoned. Who needs them? The crops have failed!

18 The farm animals groan - oh, how they groan! The cattle mill around. There's nothing for them to eat. Not even the sheep find anything.

19 God! I pray, I cry out to you! The fields are burning up, The country is a dust bowl, forest and prairie fires rage unchecked.

20 Wild animals, dying of thirst, look to you for a drink. Springs and streams are dried up. The whole country is burning up.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 verbum Domini quod factum est ad Iohel filium Fatuhel

2 audite hoc senes et auribus percipite omnes habitatores terrae si factum est istud in diebus vestris aut in diebus patrum vestrorum

3 super hoc filiis vestris narrate et filii vestri filiis suis et filii eorum generationi alterae

4 residuum erucae comedit lucusta et residuum lucustae comedit bruchus et residuum bruchi comedit rubigo

5 expergescimini ebrii et flete et ululate omnes qui bibitis vinum in dulcedine quoniam periit ab ore vestro

6 gens enim ascendit super terram meam fortis et innumerabilis dentes eius ut dentes leonis et molares eius ut catuli leonis

7 posuit vineam meam in desertum et ficum meam decorticavit nudans spoliavit eam et proiecit albi facti sunt rami eius

8 plange quasi virgo accincta sacco super virum pubertatis suae

9 periit sacrificium et libatio de domo Domini luxerunt sacerdotes ministri Domini

10 depopulata est regio luxit humus quoniam devastatum est triticum confusum est vinum elanguit oleum

11 confusi sunt agricolae ululaverunt vinitores super frumento et hordeo quia periit messis agri

12 vinea confusa est et ficus elanguit malogranatum et palma et malum et omnia ligna agri aruerunt quia confusum est gaudium a filiis hominum

13 accingite vos et plangite sacerdotes ululate ministri altaris ingredimini cubate in sacco ministri Dei mei quoniam interiit de domo Dei vestri sacrificium et libatio

14 sanctificate ieiunium vocate coetum congregate senes omnes habitatores terrae in domum Dei vestri et clamate ad Dominum

15 a a a diei quia prope est dies Domini et quasi vastitas a potente veniet

16 numquid non coram oculis vestris alimenta perierunt de domo Dei nostri laetitia et exultatio

17 conputruerunt iumenta in stercore suo demolita sunt horrea dissipatae sunt apothecae quoniam confusum est triticum

18 quid ingemuit animal mugierunt greges armenti quia non est pascua eis sed et greges pecorum disperierunt

19 ad te Domine clamabo quia ignis comedit speciosa deserti et flamma succendit omnia ligna regionis

20 sed et bestiae agri quasi area sitiens imbrem suspexerunt ad te quoniam exsiccati sunt fontes aquarum et ignis devoravit speciosa deserti
