Joel 1
1. The word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
that came
<1961 hayah > to Joel <3100 Yow>el > the son <
1121 ben > of
Pethuel <6602 P@thuw>el >.
2 Hear <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th >, ye
old <2205 zaqen >
men, and give ear <0238 >azan >, all <3605 kol >
ye inhabitants
<3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets >. Hath
this <2063 zo>th
> been <1961 hayah > in your days <3117 yowm >, or
even <0518
>im > in the days <3117 yowm > of your fathers <
1>?
3 Tell <5608 caphar > ye your children <1121 ben >
of it, and
[let] your children <1121 ben > [tell] their children <
1121 ben
>, and their children <1121 ben > another <0312 >
acher >
generation <1755 dowr >.
4 That which the palmerworm <1501 gazam > hath left <
3499
yether > hath the locust <0697 >arbeh > eaten <
0398 >akal >; and
that which the locust <0697 >arbeh > hath left <3499
yether >
hath the cankerworm <3218 yekeq > eaten <0398 >akal
>; and that
which the cankerworm <3218 yekeq > hath left <3499
yether > hath
the caterpiller <2625 chaciyl > eaten <0398 >akal >
.
5 Awake <6974 quwts >, ye drunkards <7910 shikkowr >,
and weep
<1058 bakah >; and howl <3213 yalal >, all <3605
kol > ye
drinkers <8354 shathah > of wine <3196 yayin >,
because <5921
<al > of the new wine <6071 <aciyc >; for it is
cut <3772 karath
> off from your mouth <6310 peh >.
6 For a nation <1471 gowy > is come <5927 <alah >
up upon my
land <0776 >erets >, strong <6099 <atsuwm >,
and without <0369
>ayin > number <4557 micpar >, whose teeth <8127
shen > [are]
the teeth <8127 shen > of a lion <0738 >ariy >,
and he hath the
cheek <4973 m@thall@<ah > teeth <4973 m@thall@<ah
> of a great
<3833 labiy> > lion <3833 labiy> >.
7 He hath laid <7760 suwm > my vine <1612 gephen >
waste <8047
shammah >, and barked <7111 q@tsaphah > my fig <8384
t@>en >
tree: he hath made it clean bare <2834 chasaph >, and cast
<7993
shalak > [it] away; the branches <8299 sariyg > thereof
are made
white <3835 laban >.
8. Lament <0421 >alah > like a virgin <1330
b@thuwlah > girded
<2296 chagar > with sackcloth <8242 saq > for the
husband <1167
ba<al > of her youth <5271 na<uwr >.
9 The meat offering <4503 minchah > and the drink <5262
necek >
offering is cut <3772 karath > off from the house <1004
bayith >
of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; the priests <3548 kohen >
, the
LORD'S <3068 Y@hovah > ministers <8334 sharath >,
mourn <56>.
10 The field <7704 sadeh > is wasted <7703 shadad >,
the land
<0127 >adamah > mourneth <56>; for the corn <
1715 dagan > is
wasted <7703 shadad >: the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine
<8492
tiyrowsh > is dried <3001 yabesh > up, the oil <3323
yitshar >
languisheth <0535 >amal >.
11 Be ye ashamed <0954 buwsh >, O ye husbandmen <0406
>ikkar >;
howl <3213 yalal >, O ye vinedressers <3755 korem >,
for the
wheat <2406 chittah > and for the barley <8184 s@<
orah >;
because <3588 kiy > the harvest <7105 qatsiyr > of
the field
<7704 sadeh > is perished <6>.
12 The vine <1612 gephen > is dried <3001 yabesh >
up, and the
fig <8384 t@>en > tree languisheth <0535 >amal >
; the
pomegranate <7416 rimmown > tree, the palm <8558 tamar
> tree
also <1571 gam >, and the apple <8598 tappuwach >
tree, [even]
all <3605 kol > the trees <6086 <ets > of the
field <7704 sadeh
>, are withered <3001 yabesh >: because <3588 kiy >
joy <8342
sasown > is withered <3001 yabesh > away from the sons
<1121 ben
> of men <0120 >adam >.
13 Gird <2296 chagar > yourselves, and lament <5594
caphad >,
ye priests <3548 kohen >: howl <3213 yalal >, ye
ministers <8334
sharath > of the altar <4196 mizbeach >: come <0935
bow> >, lie
<3885 luwn > all <3885 luwn > night in sackcloth <
8242 saq >, ye
ministers <8334 sharath > of my God <0430 >elohiym
>: for the
meat offering <4503 minchah > and the drink <5262 necek
>
offering is withholden <4513 mana< > from the house <
1004 bayith
> of your God <0430 >elohiym >.
14. Sanctify <6942 qadash > ye a fast <6685 tsowm >,
call <7121
qara> > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <
6116 <atsarah >,
gather <0622 >acaph > the elders <2205 zaqen >
[and] all <3605
kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <
0776 >erets >
[into] the house <1004 bayith > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > your
God <0430 >elohiym >, and cry <2199 za<aq >
unto the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >,
15 Alas <0160 >ahabah > for the day <3117 yowm >!
for the day
<3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] at <
7138 qarowb >
hand <7138 qarowb >, and as a destruction <7701 shod >
from the
Almighty <7706 Shadday > shall it come <0935 bow> >
.
16 Is not the meat <0400 >okel > cut <3772 karath
> off before
<5048 neged > our eyes <5869 <ayin >, [yea], joy
<8057 simchah >
and gladness <1524 giyl > from the house <1004 bayith
> of our
God <0430 >elohiym >?
17 The seed <6507 p@rudah > is rotten <5685 <abash
> under
<8478 tachath > their clods <4053 migraphah >, the
garners <0214
>owtsar > are laid desolate <8074 shamem >, the barns
<4460
mamm@gurah > are broken <2040 harac > down <2040
harac >; for
the corn <1715 dagan > is withered <3001 yabesh >.
18 How <4100 mah > do the beasts <0929 b@hemah >
groan <0584
>anach >! the herds <5739 <eder > of cattle <
1241 baqar > are
perplexed <0943 buwk >, because <3588 kiy > they have
no <0369
>ayin > pasture <4829 mir<eh >; yea <1571 gam
>, the flocks
<5739 <eder > of sheep <6629 tso>n > are made
desolate <0816
>asham >.
19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, to thee will I cry <7121
qara> >:
for the fire <0784 >esh > hath devoured <0398 >
akal > the
pastures <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar
>, and the
flame <3852 lehabah > hath burned <3857 lahat > all
<3605 kol >
the trees <6086 <ets > of the field <7704 sadeh >.
20 The beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the field <7704 sadeh
> cry
<6165 <arag > also <1571 gam > unto thee: for the
rivers <0650
>aphiyq > of waters <4325 mayim > are dried <3001
yabesh > up,
and the fire <0784 >esh > hath devoured <0398 >
akal > the
pastures <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar
>.
Joel 2
1. Blow <8628 taqa< > ye the trumpet <7782 showphar
> in Zion
<6726 Tsiyown >, and sound <7321 ruwa< > an alarm
<7321 ruwa< >
in my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har >: let
all <3605
kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <
0776 >erets >
tremble <7264 ragaz >: for the day <3117 yowm > of
the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > cometh <0935 bow> >, for [it is]
nigh <7126
qarab > at hand;
2 A day <3117 yowm > of darkness <2822 choshek > and
of
gloominess <0653 >aphelah >, a day <3117 yowm > of
clouds <6051
<anan > and of thick darkness <6205 <araphel >, as
the morning
<7837 shachar > spread <6566 paras > upon the
mountains <2022
har >: a great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am >
and a strong <6099
<atsuwm >; there hath not been <1961 hayah > ever <
5769 <owlam >
the like <3644 k@mow >, neither <3808 lo> > shall
be any more
<3254 yacaph > after <0310 >achar > it, [even] to
the years
<8141 shaneh > of many generations <1755 dowr >.
3 A fire <0784 >esh > devoureth <0398 >akal >
before <6440
paniym > them; and behind <0310 >achar > them a flame
<3852
lehabah > burneth <3857 lahat >: the land <0776 >
erets > [is] as
the garden <1588 gan > of Eden <5731 <Eden >
before <6440 paniym

8077 sh@mamah

nothing <3808
lo> > shall escape <6413 p@leytah > them.
4 The appearance <4758 mar>eh > of them [is] as the
appearance
<4758 mar>eh > of horses <5483 cuwc >; and as
horsemen <6571
parash >, so <3651 ken > shall they run <7323 ruwts

5 Like the noise <6963 qowl > of chariots <4818
merkabah > on
<5921 <al > the tops <7218 ro>sh > of mountains
<2022 har >
shall they leap <7540 raqad >, like the noise <6963 qowl

flame <3851 lahab > of fire <0784 >esh > that
devoureth <0398
>akal > the stubble <7179 qash >, as a strong <
6099 <atsuwm >
people <5971 <am > set in battle <4421 milchamah >
array <6186

6 Before their face <6440 paniym > the people <5971 <
am > shall
be much pained <2342 chuwl >: all <3605 kol > faces
<6440 paniym

ruwr >.
7 They shall run <7323 ruwts > like mighty <1368
gibbowr > men;
they shall climb <5927 <alah > the wall <2346 chowmah

<0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah >; and they
shall march
<3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >
iysh > on his ways
<1870 derek >, and they shall not break <5670 <abat

ranks <0734 >orach >:
8 Neither <3808 lo> > shall one <0376 >iysh >
thrust <1766
dachaq > another <0250 >Ezrachiy >; they shall walk
<3212 yalak

path <4546
m@cillah >: and [when] they fall <5307 naphal > upon the
sword
<7973 shelach >, they shall not be wounded <1214
batsa< >.
9 They shall run <8264 shaqaq > to and fro <8264 shaqaq

the city <5892 <iyr >; they shall run <7323 ruwts >
upon the
wall <2346 chowmah >, they shall climb <5927 <alah

houses <1004 bayith >; they shall enter <0935 bow>

b@<ad > the windows <2474 challown > like a thief <
1590 gannab >.
