1 "Tuo metu, kai parvesiu Judo ir Jeruzalės ištremtuosius,
2 Aš surinksiu visas tautas ir atvesiu jas į Juozapato slėnį. Ten juos teisiu dėl mano tautos ir mano paveldo Izraelio, kurį jos buvo išsklaidžiusios ir pasidalinusios mano žemę.
3 Jie metė burtus dėl mano tautos, už paleistuvę atidavė berniuką, už vyną pardavė mergaitę ir girtuokliavo.
4 Ką jūs turite bendro su manimi, Tyre, Sidone ir visi filistinų kraštai? Ar jūs norite man atlyginti už mano darbus ir man atkeršyti? Aš greitai ir lengvai sugrąžinsiu jūsų kerštą ant jūsų pačių galvų.
5 Jūs paėmėte mano sidabrą bei auksą ir mano brangenybes nugabenote į savo šventyklas.
6 Jūs pardavėte Judo ir Jeruzalės gyventojus graikams, išvarėte juos toli iš jų krašto.
7 Aš pakelsiu juos toje vietoje, kurion jūs juos pardavėte, ir sugrąžinsiu jūsų kerštą ant jūsų pačių galvų.
8 Aš atiduosiu jūsų sūnus ir dukteris Judo vaikams, o jie parduos juos šebiečiams, toli gyvenančiai tautai, nes taip pasakė Viešpats".
9 Paskelbkite tai tautoms, pasiruoškite karui, žadinkite karžygius! Kariai tegul ateina artyn.
10 Perkaldinkite savo žagres į kardus ir pjautuvus į ietis. Silpnasis tesako: "Aš stiprus".
11 Skubiai susirinkusios, ateikite, aplinkinės tautos! Viešpatie, ten atvesk savo karžygius!
12 "Tepakyla ir tesusirenka tautos į Juozapato slėnį: ten Aš teisiu jas.
13 Imkite pjautuvą, nes atėjo pjūties metas. Spaustuvas pilnas, ateikite ir minkite. Indai bus sklidini, nes jų nedorybė didelė".
14 Minių minios sprendimo slėnyje! Viešpaties diena priartėjo.
15 Saulė ir mėnulis aptems, žvaigždės neteks spindesio.
16 Viešpats suriaumos iš Siono, Jo balsas pasigirs iš Jeruzalės, dangus ir žemė sudrebės. Viešpats yra savo tautos viltis ir Izraelio vaikų stiprybė.
17 "Tada jūs žinosite, kad Aš esu Viešpats, jūsų Dievas, kuris gyvena Sione, savo šventame kalne. Jeruzalė bus šventa, svetimieji nebemindžios jos.
18 Tą dieną iš kalnų lašės saldus vynas, iš kalvų tekės pienas. Judo upės bus pilnos vandens, iš Viešpaties namų tekės šaltinis ir drėkins Šitimo slėnį.
19 Egiptas taps dykyne, Edomas virs tuščia dykuma, nes jie žiauriai praliejo nekaltą Judo vaikų kraują.
20 Judas gyvens per amžius ir Jeruzalė per kartų kartas.
21 Aš apvalysiu jų kraują, kurio dar neapvaliau, nes Viešpats gyvena Sione!"
1 \2:28\And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:
2 \2:29\And on the servants and the servant-girls in those days I will send my spirit.
3 \2:30\And I will let wonders be seen in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
4 \2:31\The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.
5 \2:32\And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.
6 \3:1\For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,
7 \3:2\I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.
8 \3:3\And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.
9 \3:4\And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,
10 \3:5\For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.
11 \3:6\And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:
12 \3:7\See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;
13 \3:8\I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.
14 \3:9\Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.
15 \3:10\Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong.
16 \3:11\Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.
17 \3:12\Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.
18 \3:13\Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.
19 \3:14\Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.
20 \3:15\The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.
21 \3:16\And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.
22 \3:17\And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.
23 \3:18\And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.
24 \3:19\Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.
25 \3:20\But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
26 \3:21\And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
