| 3 1 | "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, | God will judge the nations. Jl.3.1-15 | כִּי הִנֵּה בַּיָּמִים הָהֵמָּה וּבָעֵת הַהִיא אֲשֶׁר כ= אָשׁוּב ק= אָשִׁיב אֶת־שְׁבוּת יְהוּדָה וִירוּשָׁלִָם׃ |
| 2 | I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations, and have divided up my land, | וְקִבַּצְתִּי אֶת־כָּל־הַגֹּויִם וְהֹורַדְתִּים אֶל־עֵמֶק יְהֹושָׁפָט וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּי עִםָּם שָׁם עַל־עַמִּי וְנַחֲלָתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר פִּזְּרוּ בַגֹּויִם וְאֶת־אַרְצִי חִלֵּקוּ׃ | |
| 3 | and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and have sold a girl for wine, and have drunk it. | וְנָתַתִּי מֹופְתִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם וּבָאָרֶץ דָּם וָאֵשׁ וְתִימֲרֹות עָשָׁן׃ | |
| 3 | and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and have sold a girl for wine, and have drunk it. | וְאֶל־עַמִּי יַדּוּ גֹורָל וַיִּתְּנוּ הַיֶּלֶד בַּזֹּונָה וְהַיַּלְדָּה מָכְרוּ בַיַּיִן וַיִּשְׁתּוּ׃ | |
| 4 | "What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will requite your deed upon your own head swiftly and speedily. | וְגַם מָה־אַתֶּם לִי צֹר וְצִידֹון וְכֹל גְּלִילֹות פְּלָשֶׁת הַגְּמוּל אַתֶּם מְשַׁלְּמִים עָלָי וְאִם־גֹּמְלִים אַתֶּם עָלַי קַל מְהֵרָה אָשִׁיב גְּמֻלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶם׃ | |
| 5 | Fore you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my riches into your temples. | אֲשֶׁר־כַּסְפִּי וּזְהָבִי לְקַחְתֶּם וּמַחֲמַדַּי הַטֹּבִים הֲבֵאתֶם לְהֵיכְלֵיכֶם׃ | |
| 6 | You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, removing them far from their own border. | וּבְנֵי יְהוּדָה וּבְנֵי יְרוּשָׁלִַם מְכַרְתֶּם לִבְנֵי הַיְּוָנִים לְמַעַן הַרְחִיקָם מֵעַל גְּבוּלָם׃ | |
| 7 | but now I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will require your deed upon your own head. | הִנְנִי מְעִירָם מִן־הַמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר־מְכַרְתֶּם אֹתָם שָׁמָּה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִי גְמֻלְכֶם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶם׃ | |
| 8 | I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off; for Yahweh has spoken." | וּמָכַרְתִּי אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹותֵיכֶם בְּיַד בְּנֵי יְהוּדָה וּמְכָרוּם לִשְׁבָאיִם אֶל־גֹּוי רָחֹוק כִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר׃ ס | |
| 9 | Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war, stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. | קִרְאוּ־זֹאת בַּגֹּויִם קַדְּשׁוּ מִלְחָמָה הָעִירוּ הַגִּבֹּורִים יִגְּשׁוּ יַעֲלוּ כֹּל אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה׃ | |
| 10 | Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior." | כֹּתּוּ אִתֵּיכֶם לַחֲרָבֹות וּמַזְמְרֹתֵיכֶם לִרְמָחִים הַחַלָּשׁ יֹאמַר גִּבֹּור אָנִי׃ | |
| 11 | Hasten and come, all the nations round about, gather themselves there. Bring down your warriors, O Yahweh. | עוּשׁוּ וָבֹאוּ כָל־הַגֹּויִם מִסָּבִיב וְנִקְבָּצוּ שָׁמָּה הַנְחַת יְהוָה גִּבֹּורֶיךָ׃ | |
| 12 | Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations round about. | יֵעֹורוּ וְיַעֲלוּ הַגֹּויִם אֶל־עֵמֶק יְהֹושָׁפָט כִּי שָׁם אֵשֵׁב לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־כָּל־הַגֹּויִם מִסָּבִיב׃ | |
| 13 | Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the wine press is full. the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great. | שִׁלְחוּ מַגָּל כִּי בָשַׁל קָצִיר בֹּאוּ רְדוּ כִּי־מָלְאָה גַּת הֵשִׁיקוּ הַיְקָבִים כִּי רַבָּה רָעָתָם׃ | |
| 14 | Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near in the valley of decision. | הֲמֹונִים הֲמֹונִים בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרוּץ כִּי קָרֹוב יֹום יְהוָה בְּעֵמֶק הֶחָרוּץ׃ | |
| 15 | The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. | שֶׁמֶשׁ וְיָרֵחַ קָדָרוּ וְכֹוכָבִים אָסְפוּ נָגְהָם׃ | |
