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

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

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

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 > of a

flame <3851 lahab > of fire <0784 >esh > that devoureth <0398

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

ranks <0734 >orach >:

8 Neither <3808 lo> > shall one <0376 >iysh > thrust <1766

dachaq > another <0250 >Ezrachiy >; they shall walk <3212 yalak

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 > in

the city <5892 <iyr >; they shall run <7323 ruwts > upon the

wall <2346 chowmah >, they shall climb <5927 <alah > up upon the

houses <1004 bayith >; they shall enter <0935 bow> > in at <1157

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

10 The earth <0776 >erets > shall quake <7264 ragaz > before

11 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > shall utter <5414 nathan > his

voice <6963 qowl > before <6440 paniym > his army <2428 chayil >:

for his camp <4264 machaneh > [is] very <3966 m@<od > great

<6213 <asah > his word <1697 dabar >: for the day <3117 yowm >

of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [is] great <1419 gadowl > and very

and with mourning <4553 micepd >:

13 And rend <7167 qara< > your heart <3824 lebab >, and not

your garments <0899 beged >, and turn <7725 shuwb > unto the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >: for he [is]

gracious <2587 channuwn > and merciful <7349 rachuwm >, slow

kindness <2617 checed >, and repenteth <5162 nacham > him of the

evil <7451 ra< >.

14 Who <4310 miy > knoweth <3045 yada< > [if] he will return

meat offering <4503 minchah > and a drink <5262 necek > offering

15 Blow <8628 taqa< > the trumpet <7782 showphar > in Zion

call <7121 qara> > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116

16 Gather <0622 >acaph > the people <5971 <am >, sanctify <6942

qadash > the congregation <6951 qahal >, assemble <6908 qabats >

the elders <2205 zaqen >, gather <0622 >acaph > the children

<7699 shad >: let the bridegroom <2860 chathan > go <3318 yatsa>

17 Let the priests <3548 kohen >, the ministers <8334 sharath >

and let them say <0559 >amar >, Spare <2347 chuwc > thy people

<5971 <am >, O LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and give <5414 nathan > not

thine heritage <5159 nachalah > to reproach <2781 cherpah >,

that the heathen <1471 gowy > should rule <4910 mashal > over

them: wherefore <4100 mah > should they say <0559 >amar > among

the people <5971 <am >, Where <0346 >ayeh > [is] their God <0430

18. Then will the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > be jealous <7065 qana> >

for his land <0776 >erets >, and pity <2550 chamal > his people

<5971 <am >.

19 Yea, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will answer <6030 <anah > and

say <0559 >amar > unto his people <5971 <am >, Behold <2005 hen

20 But I will remove <7368 rachaq > far <7368 rachaq > off from

nadach > him into <0413 >el > a land <0776 >erets > barren <6723

tsachanah > savour <6709 tsachanah > shall come <5927 <alah > up,

because <3588 kiy > he hath done <6213 <asah > great <1431

21 Fear <3372 yare> > not, O land <0127 >adamah >; be glad

<1523 giyl > and rejoice <8055 samach >: for the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah > great <1431 gadal > things.

22 Be not afraid <3372 yare> >, ye beasts <0929 b@hemah > of

the field <7704 sadeh >: for the pastures <4999 na>ah > of the

wilderness <4057 midbar > do spring <1876 dasha >, for the tree

fig <8384 t@>en > tree and the vine <1612 gephen > do <6213

23 Be glad <1523 giyl > then, ye children <1121 ben > of Zion

Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym >: for he hath given <5414

nathan > you the former <4175 mowreh > rain <4175 mowreh >

moderately <6666 ts@daqah >, and he will cause to come <3381

yarad > down <3381 yarad > for you the rain <1653 geshem >, the

former <4175 mowreh > rain <4175 mowreh >, and the latter <4456

24 And the floors <1637 goren > shall be full <4390 male> > of

wheat <1250 bar >, and the fats shall overflow <7783 shuwq >

with wine <8492 tiyrowsh > and oil <3323 yitshar >.

25 And I will restore <7999 shalam > to you the years <8141

26 And ye shall eat <0398 >akal > in plenty <0398 >akal >, and

be satisfied <7646 saba< >, and praise <1984 halal > the name

be ashamed <0954 buwsh >.

28. And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass afterward, [that] I

will pour <8210 shaphak > out my spirit <7307 ruwach > upon all

29 And also <1571 gam > upon the servants <5650 <ebed > and

30 And I will shew <5414 nathan > wonders <4159 mowpheth > in

the heavens <8064 shamayim > and in the earth <0776 >erets >,

blood <1818 dam >, and fire <0784 >esh >, and pillars <8490

tiymarah > of smoke <6227 <ashan >.

31 The sun <8121 shemesh > shall be turned <2015 haphak > into

darkness <2822 choshek >, and the moon <3394 yareach > into

blood <1818 dam >, before <6440 paniym > the great <1419 gadowl

14 Multitudes <1995 hamown >, multitudes <1995 hamown > in the

15 The sun <8121 shemesh > and the moon <3394 yareach > shall

16 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > also shall roar <7580 sha>ag > out

wilderness <4057 midbar >, for the violence <2555 chamac >

[against] the children <1121 ben > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >,

because <0834 >aher > they have shed <8210 shaphak > innocent

20 But Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > shall dwell <3427 yashab > for

ever <5769 <owlam >, and Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > from

generation <1755 dowr > to generation <1755 dowr >.

21 For I will cleanse <5352 naqah > their blood <1818 dam >

[that] I have not cleansed <5352 naqah >: for the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > dwelleth <7931 shakan > in Zion <6726 Tsiyown >.
