Chapter 1
|
|
1 耶和華的話臨到毗土珥的兒子約珥。
|
1 The word1697 of the LORD3068 that834 came1961 to413 Joel3100 the son1121 of Pethuel.6602
|
|
2 老年人哪，當聽我的話；國中的居民哪，都要側耳而聽。在你們的日子，或你們列祖的日子，曾有這樣的事嗎？
|
2 Hear8085 this,2063 ye old men,2205 and give ear,238 all3605 ye inhabitants3427 of the land.776 Hath this2063 been1961 in your days,3117 or even518 in the days3117 of your fathers?1
|
|
3 你們要將這事傳與子，子傳與孫，孫傳與後代。
|
3 Tell5608 ye your children1121 of5921 it, and let your children1121 tell their children,1121 and their children1121 another312 generation.1755
|
|
4 蛾蟲［palmerworm］剩下的，蝗蟲來吃；蝗蟲剩下的，尺蠖［cankerworm］來吃；尺蠖［cankerworm］剩下的，毛蟲［caterpiller］來吃。
|
4 That which the palmerworm1501 hath left3499 hath the locust697 eaten;398 and that which the locust697 hath left3499 hath the cankerworm3218 eaten;398 and that which the cankerworm3218 hath left3499 hath the caterpillar2625 eaten.398
|
|
5 酒醉的人哪，要清醒哭泣；好酒的人哪，都要為新［new］酒哀號，因為從你們的口中斷絕了。
|
5 Awake,6974 ye drunkards,7910 and weep;1058 and howl,3213 all3605 ye drinkers8354 of wine,3196 because of5921 the new wine;6071 for3588 it is cut off3772 from your mouth.4480 6310
|
|
6 有一國［nation］又強盛又無數，侵犯我的地；牠的牙齒如獅子的牙齒，大牙如巨獅［great lion］的大牙。
|
6 For3588 a nation1471 is come up5927 upon5921 my land,776 strong,6099 and without369 number,4557 whose teeth8127 are the teeth8127 of a lion,738 and he hath the cheek teeth4973 of a great lion.3833
|
|
7 牠毀壞我的葡萄樹，剝了我無花果樹的皮，剝盡而丟棄，使枝子［branches］露白。
|
7 He hath laid7760 my vine1612 waste,8047 and barked7111 my fig tree:8384 he hath made it clean bare,2834 2834 and cast it away;7993 the branches8299 thereof are made white.3835
|
|
8 我的民哪，你當哀號，像處女腰束麻布，為幼年的丈夫哀號。
|
8 Lament421 like a virgin1330 girded2296 with sackcloth8242 for5921 the husband1167 of her youth.5271
|
|
9 素祭和奠祭從耶和華的殿中斷絕；事奉耶和華的祭司都悲哀。
|
9 The meat offering4503 and the drink offering5262 is cut off3772 from the house4480 1004 of the LORD;3068 the priests,3548 the LORD's3068 ministers,8334 mourn.56
|
|
10 田荒涼，地悲哀；因為五穀毀壞，新酒乾竭，油也缺乏。
|
10 The field7704 is wasted,7703 the land127 mourneth;56 for3588 the corn1715 is wasted:7703 the new wine8492 is dried up,3001 the oil3323 languisheth.535
|
|
11 農夫啊，你們要慚愧；修理葡萄園的啊，你們要哀號；因為大麥小麥與田間的莊稼都滅絕了。
|
11 Be ye ashamed,954 O ye husbandmen;406 howl,3213 O ye vinedressers,3755 for5921 the wheat2406 and for5921 the barley;8184 because3588 the harvest7105 of the field7704 is perished.6
|
|
12 葡萄樹枯乾；無花果樹衰殘。石榴樹、棕樹、蘋果樹，連田野一切的樹木也都枯乾；眾人的喜樂盡都消滅。
|
12 The vine1612 is dried up,3001 and the fig tree8384 languisheth;535 the pomegranate tree,7416 the palm tree8558 also,1571 and the apple tree,8598 even all3605 the trees6086 of the field,7704 are withered:3001 because3588 joy8342 is withered away3001 from4480 the sons1121 of men.120
|
|
13 祭司啊，你們當腰束麻布痛哭；伺候祭壇的啊，你們要哀號；事奉我神的啊，你們要來披上麻布過夜，因為素祭和奠祭從你們神的殿中斷絕了。
|
13 Gird2296 yourselves, and lament,5594 ye priests:3548 howl,3213 ye ministers8334 of the altar:4196 come,935 lie all night3885 in sackcloth,8242 ye ministers8334 of my God:430 for3588 the meat offering4503 and the drink offering5262 is withheld4513 from the house4480 1004 of your God.430
|
|
14 你們要分定禁食的日子，宣告嚴肅會，招聚長老和國中的一切居民到耶和華─你們神的殿，向耶和華哀求。
|
14 Sanctify6942 ye a fast,6685 call7121 a solemn assembly,6116 gather622 the elders2205 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 into the house1004 of the LORD3068 your God,430 and cry2199 unto413 the LORD,3068
|
|
15 哀哉。耶和華的日子臨近了。這日來到，好像毀滅從全能者來到。
|
15 Alas162 for the day!3117 for3588 the day3117 of the LORD3068 is at hand,7138 and as a destruction7701 from the Almighty4480 7706 shall it come.935
|
|
16 糧食不是在我們眼前斷絕了嗎？歡喜快樂不是從我們神的殿中止息了嗎？
|
16 Is not3808 the meat400 cut off3772 before5048 our eyes,5869 yea, joy8057 and gladness1524 from the house4480 1004 of our God?430
|
|
17 穀種在土塊下朽爛，穀倉［garners］也荒涼，倉房［barns］也破壞；因為五穀枯乾了。
|
17 The seed6507 is rotten5685 under8478 their clods,4053 the garners214 are laid desolate,8074 the barns4460 are broken down;2040 for3588 the corn1715 is withered.3001
|
|
18 牲畜何竟［How do］哀鳴。牛群混亂，因為無草；羊群也受了困苦。
|
18 How4100 do the beasts929 groan!584 the herds5739 of cattle1241 are perplexed,943 because3588 they have no369 pasture;4829 yea,1571 the flocks5739 of sheep6629 are made desolate.816
|
|
19 耶和華啊，我向你呼求［cry］，因為火吞滅［devoured］曠野的草場；火燄燒盡田野的樹木。
|
19 O LORD,3068 to413 thee will I cry:7121 for3588 the fire784 hath devoured398 the pastures4999 of the wilderness,4057 and the flame3852 hath burned3857 all3605 the trees6086 of the field.7704
|
|
20 田野的走獸向你哀鳴［cry］；因為溪水乾涸，火也吞滅［devoured］曠野的草場。
|
20 The beasts929 of the field7704 cry6165 also1571 unto413 thee: for3588 the rivers650 of waters4325 are dried up,3001 and the fire784 hath devoured398 the pastures4999 of the wilderness.4057
