Joel 3

The Message Bible MSG

1 "In those days, yes, at that very time when I put life back together again for Judah and Jerusalem,

2 I'll assemble all the godless nations. I'll lead them down into Judgment Valley And put them all on trial, and judge them one and all because of their treatment of my own people Israel. They scattered my people all over the pagan world and grabbed my land for themselves.

3 They threw dice for my people and used them for barter. They would trade a boy for a whore, sell a girl for a bottle of wine when they wanted a drink.

4 "As for you, Tyre and Sidon and Philistia, why should I bother with you? Are you trying to get back at me for something I did to you? If you are, forget it. I'll see to it that it boomerangs on you.

5 You robbed me, cleaned me out of silver and gold, carted off everything valuable to furnish your own temples.

6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem into slavery to the Greeks in faraway places.

7 But I'm going to reverse your crime. I'm going to free those slaves. I'll have done to you what you did to them:

8 I'll sell your children as slaves to your neighbors, And they'll sell them to the far-off Sabeans."

9 Announce this to the godless nations: Prepare for battle! Soldiers at attention! Present arms! Advance!

10 Turn your shovels into swords, turn your hoes into spears. Let the weak one throw out his chest and say, "I'm tough, I'm a fighter."

11 Hurry up, pagans! Wherever you are, get a move on! Get your act together. Prepare to be shattered by God!

12 Let the pagan nations set out for Judgment Valley. There I'll take my place at the bench and judge all the surrounding nations.

13 "Swing the sickle - the harvest is ready. Stomp on the grapes - the winepress is full. The wine vats are full, overflowing with vintage evil.

14 "Mass confusion, mob uproar - in Decision Valley! God's Judgment Day has arrived in Decision Valley.

15 "The sky turns black, sun and moon go dark, stars burn out.

16 God roars from Zion, shouts from Jerusalem. Earth and sky quake in terror. But God is a safe hiding place, a granite safe house for the children of Israel.

17 Then you'll know for sure that I'm your God, Living in Zion, my sacred mountain. Jerusalem will be a sacred city, posted: 'no trespassing.'

18 "What a day! Wine streaming off the mountains, Milk rivering out of the hills, water flowing everywhere in Judah, A fountain pouring out of God's Sanctuary, watering all the parks and gardens!

19 But Egypt will be reduced to weeds in a vacant lot, Edom turned into barren badlands, All because of brutalities to the Judean people, the atrocities and murders of helpless innocents.

20 Meanwhile, Judah will be filled with people, Jerusalem inhabited forever.

21 The sins I haven't already forgiven, I'll forgive." God has moved into Zion for good.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 quia ecce in diebus illis et in tempore illo cum convertero captivitatem Iuda et Hierusalem

2 congregabo omnes gentes et deducam eas in valle Iosaphat et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo et hereditate mea Israhel quos disperserunt in nationibus et terram meam diviserunt

3 et super populum meum miserunt sortem et posuerunt puerum in prostibulum et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent

4 verum quid vobis et mihi Tyrus et Sidon et omnis terminus Palestinorum numquid ultionem vos redditis mihi et si ulciscimini vos contra me cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum

5 argentum enim meum et aurum tulistis et desiderabilia mea et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra

6 et filios Iuda et filios Hierusalem vendidistis filiis Graecorum ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis

7 ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum

8 et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Iuda et venundabunt eos Sabeis genti longinquae quia Dominus locutus est

9 clamate hoc in gentibus sanctificate bellum suscitate robustos accedant ascendant omnes viri bellatores

10 concidite aratra vestra in gladios et ligones vestros in lanceas infirmus dicat quia fortis ego sum

11 erumpite et venite omnes gentes de circuitu et congregamini ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos

12 consurgant et ascendant gentes in vallem Iosaphat quia ibi sedebo ut iudicem omnes gentes in circuitu

13 mittite falces quoniam maturavit messis venite et descendite quia plenum est torcular exuberant torcularia quia multiplicata est malitia eorum

14 populi populi in valle concisionis quia iuxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis

15 sol et luna obtenebricata sunt et stellae retraxerunt splendorem suum

16 et Dominus de Sion rugiet et de Hierusalem dabit vocem suam et movebuntur caeli et terra et Dominus spes populi sui et fortitudo filiorum Israhel

17 et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester habitans in Sion in monte sancto meo et erit Hierusalem sancta et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius

18 et erit in die illa stillabunt montes dulcedinem et colles fluent lacte et per omnes rivos Iuda ibunt aquae et fons de domo Domini egredietur et inrigabit torrentem Spinarum

19 Aegyptus in desolatione erit et Idumea in desertum perditionis pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Iuda et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua

20 et Iudaea in aeternum habitabitur et Hierusalem in generatione et generationem

21 et mundabo sanguinem eorum quem non mundaveram et Dominus commorabitur in Sion
