Joel 3

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	VULGATA
1 "For behold, in those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,	1 Quia ecce in diebus illis, et in tempore illo, cum convertero captivitatem Juda et Jerusalem,
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,	2 congregabo omnes gentes, et deducam eas in vallem Josaphat ; et disceptabo cum eis ibi super populo meo, et hæreditate mea Israël, quos disperserunt in nationibus, et terram meam diviserunt.
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.	3 Et super populum meum miserunt sortem ; et posuerunt puerum in prostibulo, et puellam vendiderunt pro vino ut biberent.
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.	4 Verum quid mihi et vobis, Tyrus et Sidon, et omnis terminus Palæstinorum ? numquid ultionem vos reddetis mihi ? et si ulciscimini vos contra me, cito velociter reddam vicissitudinem vobis super caput vestrum.
5 For you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my rich treasures into your temples.	5 Argentum enim meum et aurum tulistis, et desiderabilia mea et pulcherrima intulistis in delubra vestra.
6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, removing them far from their own border.	6 Et filios Juda et filios Jerusalem vendidistis filiis Græcorum, ut longe faceretis eos de finibus suis.
7 But now I will stir them up from the place to which you have sold them, and I will requite your deed upon your own head.	7 Ecce ego suscitabo eos de loco in quo vendidistis eos, et convertam retributionem vestram in caput vestrum.
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 the LORD has spoken."	8 Et vendam filios vestros et filias vestras in manibus filiorum Juda, et venundabunt eos Sabæis, genti longinquæ, quia Dominus locutus est.
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.	9 Clamate hoc in gentibus, sanctificate bellum, suscitate robustos : accedant, ascendant omnes viri bellatores.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior."	10 Concidite aratra vestra in gladios, et ligones vestros in lanceas. Infirmus dicat : Quia fortis ego sum.
11 Hasten and come, all you nations round about, gather yourselves there. Bring down thy warriors, O LORD.	11 Erumpite, et venite, omnes gentes de circuitu, et congregamini ; ibi occumbere faciet Dominus robustos tuos.
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.	12 Consurgant, et ascendant gentes in vallem Josaphat, quia ibi sedebo ut judicem omnes gentes in circuitu.
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.	13 Mittite falces, quoniam maturavit messis ; venite, et descendite, quia plenum est torcular, exuberant torcularia : quia multiplicata est malitia eorum.
14 Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.	14 Populi, populi, in valle concisionis, quia juxta est dies Domini in valle concisionis.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.	15 Sol et luna obtenebrati sunt, et stellæ retraxerunt splendorem suum.
16 And the LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shake. But the LORD is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel.	16 Et Dominus de Sion rugiet, et de Jerusalem dabit vocem suam, et movebuntur cæli et terra ; et Dominus spes populi sui, et fortitudo filiorum Israël.
17 "So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who dwell in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall never again pass through it.	17 Et scietis quia ego Dominus Deus vester, habitans in Sion monte sancto meo ; et erit Jerusalem sancta, et alieni non transibunt per eam amplius.
18 "And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the stream beds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD and water the valley of Shittim.	18 Et erit in die illa : stillabunt montes dulcedinem, et colles fluent lacte, et per omnes rivos Juda ibunt aquæ ; et fons de domo Domini egredietur, et irrigabit torrentem spinarum.
19 "Egypt shall become a desolation and Edom a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.	19 Ægyptus in desolationem erit, et Idumæa in desertum perditionis, pro eo quod inique egerint in filios Juda, et effuderint sanguinem innocentem in terra sua.
20 But Judah shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.	20 Et Judæa in æternum habitabitur, et Jerusalem in generationem et generationem.
21 I will avenge their blood, and I will not clear the guilty, for the LORD dwells in Zion."	21 Et mundabo sanguinem eorum, quem non mundaveram ; et Dominus commorabitur in Sion.
