Joel 2
Bíblia Livre
1Tocai a trombeta em Sião, e alertai em alta voz no meu santo monte; perturbem-se todos os moradores desta terra; porque o dia do SENHOR vem, porque perto está.
2Dia de trevas e de escuridão, dia de nuvens e densas trevas, como a madrugada espalhada sobre os montes; um povo grande e poderoso, como nunca houve desde a antiguidade, nem depois dele jamais haverá, de geração em geração.
3Diante dele o fogo consome, e atrás dele a chama arde; a terra adiante dele é como o jardim do Éden, mas atrás dele como deserto devastado; nada há que dele possa escapar.
4Sua aparência é como a aparência de cavalos, e correrão como cavaleiros.
5Saltarão como estrondo de carruagens sobre as topos dos montes, como som de chama de fogo que consome a palha, como povo poderoso, em posição de combate.
6Diante dele os povos se angustiarão, todos os rostos se afligirão.
7Como guerreiros correrão, como homens de guerra subirão a muralha; e cada um irá em seus caminhos, e não torcerão suas veredas.
8Nenhum apertará ao outro; irão cada um em seu percurso; irrompem sem desfazerem suas fileiras.
9Irão pela cidade, correrão pela muralha, subirão nas casas, entrarão pelas janelas como ladrão.
10A terra se abala diante deles, o céu se estremece; o sol e a lua se escurecem, e as estrelas retiram seu brilho.
11E o SENHOR levanta sua voz diante de seu exército; porque suas tropas são muito grandes; porque forte é aquele que cumpre sua palavra; porque o dia do SENHOR é grande, e muito terrível; quem poderá o suportar?
12Por isso agora o SENHOR diz: Convertei-vos a mim com todo o vosso coração, com jejum, choro e pranto.
13Rasgai vosso coração, e não vossas vestes.Convertei-vos ao SENHOR vosso Deus, porque ele é piedoso e misericordioso, que demora para se irar, e é grande em bondade, e que se arrepende de castigar.
14Quem sabe talvez ele volte atrás e se arrependa, e deixe após si uma bênção, uma oferta de alimento de de bebida ao SENHOR vosso Deus?
15Tocai a trombeta em Sião, santificai um jejum, convocai uma reunião solene.
16Reuni o povo, santificai a congregação, juntai os anciãos, reuni as crianças e os que mamam; saia o noivo de seu cômodo, e a noiva de seu quarto.
17Os sacerdotes, trabalhadores do SENHOR, chorem entre o pórtico e o altar, e digam: Poupa a teu povo, SENHOR, e não entregues tua herança à humilhação, para que as nações a dominem. Por que entre os povos diriam: Onde está o Deus deles?
18Então o SENHOR terá zelo por sua terra, e poupará a seu povo.
19E o SENHOR responderá e dirá a seu povo: Eis que eu vos envio pão, suco de uva, e azeite, e deles sereis saciados; e nunca mais vos entregarei à humilhação entre as nações.
20E afastarei de vós o exército do norte, e o lançarei na terra seca e deserta; sua frente será para o mar oriental, e sua retaguarda para o mar ocidental, e exalará seu mau cheiro; subirá sua podridão, porque fez grandes coisas.
21Não temas, ó terra; alegra-te e encha-te de alegria, porque o SENHOR tem feito grandes coisas.
22Não temais, vós animais do campo; porque os pastos do deserto voltarão a ficar verdes, porque as árvores darão seu fruto, a figueira e a videira mostrarão seu vigor.
23E vós, filhos de Sião, alegrai-vos e enchei-vos de alegria no SENHOR vosso Deus; porque ele vos dará a primeira chuva com justiça, e fará descer sobre vós as primeiras e últimas chuvas do ano, assim como era antes.
24E as eiras se encherão de trigo, e as prensas transbordarão de suco de uva e azeite.
25Assim vos restituirei dos anos em que comeram o cortador, o comedor, o devorador e o destruidor, o meu grande exército que enviei contra vós.
26E comereis abundantemente até vos saciar; e louvareis o nome do SENHOR vosso Deus, que fez maravilhas convosco; e nunca mais meu povo será envergonhado.
27E sabereis que eu estou no meio de Israel, e que eu sou o SENHOR vosso Deus, e não há outro; e meu povo nunca mais será envergonhado.
28E será depois que derramarei meu Espírito sobre toda carne; e vossos filhos e vossas filhas profetizarão; vossos velhos terão sonhos, e vossos jovens terão visões.
29E também sobre os servos e sobre as servas, naqueles dias derramarei o meu Espírito.
30E mostrarei maravilhas no céu e na terra; sangue, fogo, e colunas de fumaça.
31O sol se tornará em trevas, e a lua em sangue, antes que venha o grande e temível dia do SENHOR.
32E será que todo aquele que invocar o nome do SENHOR será salvo; porque no monte de Sião e em Jerusalém haverá livramento, assim como o SENHOR disse, entre os que restarem, aos quais o SENHOR chamar.
Reina-Valera 1909
1TOCAD trompeta en Sión, y pregonad en mi santo monte: tiemblen todos los moradores de la tierra; porque viene el día de Jehová, porque está cercano.
2Día de tinieblas y de oscuridad, día de nube y de sombra, que sobre los montes se derrama como el alba: un pueblo grande y fuerte: nunca desde el siglo fué semejante, ni después de él será jamás en años de generación en generación.
3Delante de él consumirá fuego, tras de él abrasará llama; como el huerto de Edén será la tierra delante de él, y detrás de él como desierto asolado; ni tampoco habrá quien de él escape.
4Su parecer, como parecer de caballos; y como gente de á caballo correrán.
5Como estruendo de carros saltarán sobre las cumbres de los montes; como sonido de llama de fuego que consume hojarascas, como fuerte pueblo aparejado para la batalla.
6Delante de él temerán los pueblos, pondránse mustios todos los semblantes.
7Como valientes correrán, como hombres de guerra subirán la muralla; y cada cual irá en sus caminos, y no torcerán sus sendas.
8Ninguno apretará á su compañero, cada uno irá por su carrera; y aun cayendo sobre la espada no se herirán.
9Irán por la ciudad, correrán por el muro, subirán por las casas, entrarán por las ventanas á manera de ladrones.
10Delante de él temblará la tierra, se estremecerán los cielos: el sol y la luna se oscurecerán, y las estrellas retraerán su resplandor.
11Y Jehová dará su voz delante de su ejército: porque muchos son sus reales y fuertes, que ponen en efecto su palabra: porque grande es el día de Jehová, y muy terrible; ¿y quién lo podrá sufrir?
12Por eso pues ahora, dice Jehová, convertíos á mí con todo vuestro corazón, con ayuno y lloro y llanto.
13Y lacerad vuestro corazón, y no vuestros vestidos; y convertíos á Jehová vuestro Dios; porque misericordioso es y clemente, tardo para la ira, y grande en misericordia, y que se arrepiente del castigo.
14¿Quién sabe si volverá, y se apiadará, y dejará bendición tras de él, presente y libación para Jehová Dios vuestro?
15Tocad trompeta en Sión, pregonad ayuno, llamad á congregación.
16Reunid el pueblo, santificad la reunión, juntad los viejos, congregad los niños y los que maman: salga de su cámara el novio, y de su tálamo la novia.
17Entre la entrada y el altar, lloren los sacerdotes, ministros de Jehová, y digan: Perdona, oh Jehová, á tu pueblo, y no pongas en oprobio tu heredad, para que las gentes se enseñoreen de ella. ¿Por qué han de decir entre los pueblos: Dónde está su Dios?
18Y Jehová celará su tierra, y perdonará su pueblo.
19Y responderá Jehová, y dirá á su pueblo: He aquí yo os envío pan, y mosto, y aceite, y seréis saciados de ellos: y nunca más os pondré en oprobio entre las gentes.
20Y haré alejar de vosotros al del aquilón, y echarélo en la tierra seca y desierta: su faz será hacia el mar oriental, y su fin al mar occidental, y exhalará su hedor; y subirá su pudrición, porque hizo grandes cosas.
21Tierra, no temas; alégrate y gózate: porque Jehová ha de hacer grandes cosas.
22Animales del campo, no temáis; porque los pastos del desierto reverdecerán, porque los árboles llevarán su fruto, la higuera y la vid darán sus frutos.
23Vosotros también, hijos de Sión, alegraos y gozaos en Jehová vuestro Dios; porque os ha dado la primera lluvia arregladamente, y hará descender sobre vosotros lluvia temprana y tardía como al principio.
24Y las eras se henchirán de trigo, y los lagares rebosarán de vino y aceite.
25Y os restituiré los años que comió la oruga, la langosta, el pulgón, y el revoltón; mi grande ejército que envié contra vosotros.
26Y comeréis hasta saciaros, y alabaréis el nombre de Jehová vuestro Dios, el cual hizo maravillas con vosotros: y nunca jamás será mi pueblo avergonzado.
27Y conoceréis que en medio de Israel estoy yo, y que yo soy Jehová vuestro Dios, y no hay otro: y mi pueblo nunca jamás será avergonzado.
28Y será que después de esto, derramaré mi Espíritu sobre toda carne, y profetizarán vuestros hijos y vuestras hijas; vuestros viejos soñarán sueños, y vuestros mancebos verán visiones.
29Y aun también sobre los siervos y sobre las siervas derramaré mi Espíritu en aquellos días.
30Y daré prodigios en el cielo y en la tierra, sangre, y fuego, y columnas de humo.
31El sol se tornará en tinieblas, y la luna en sangre, antes que venga el día grande y espantoso de Jehová.
32Y será que cualquiera que invocare el nombre de Jehová, será salvo: porque en el monte de Sión y en Jerusalem habrá salvación, como Jehová ha dicho, y en los que quedaren, á los cuales Jehová habrá llamado.
King James Version
1Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
11And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
12Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
13And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
15Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
18Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
19Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
20But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
21Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
22Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
23Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
24And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
25And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
26And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
27And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
World English Bible
1Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD comes, for it is close at hand:
2A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
3A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.
4Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and they run as horsemen.
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.
6At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
7They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.
8One doesn’t jostle another. They each march in their own path. They burst through the defenses and don’t break ranks.
9They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
10The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
11The LORD thunders his voice before his army, for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
12“Yet even now,” says the LORD, “turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
13Tear your heart and not your garments, and turn to the LORD, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
14Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God.
15Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.
16Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go out of his room, and the bride out of her chamber.
17Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, LORD, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
18Then the LORD was jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
19The LORD answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
20But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise.” Surely he has done great things.
21Land, don’t be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things.
22Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
23“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he gives you the early rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the early rain and the latter rain, as before.
24The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
25I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
26You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied, and will praise the name of the LORD, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.
27You will know that I am among Israel, and that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.
28“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.
29And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.
30I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
31The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
32It will happen that whoever will call on the LORD’s name shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.
