Joel 1

1:1 Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada Yoel bin Petuel. Tulah belalang sebagai hukuman TUHAN 1:2 Dengarlah ini, hai para tua-tua, pasanglah telinga, hai seluruh penduduk negeri! Pernahkah terjadi seperti ini dalam zamanmu, atau dalam zaman nenek moyangmu? 1:3 Ceritakanlah tentang itu kepada anak-anakmu, dan biarlah anak-anakmu menceritakannya kepada anak-anak mereka, dan anak-anak mereka kepada angkatan yang kemudian. 1:4 Apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pengerip telah dimakan belalang pindahan, apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pindahan telah dimakan belalang pelompat, dan apa yang ditinggalkan belalang pelompat telah dimakan belalang pelahap. 1:5 Bangunlah, hai pemabuk, dan menangislah! Merataplah, hai semua peminum anggur karena anggur baru, sebab sudah dirampas dari mulutmu anggur itu! 1:6 Sebab maju menyerang negeriku suatu bangsa yang kuat dan tidak terbilang banyaknya; giginya bagaikan gigi singa, dan taringnya bagaikan taring singa betina. 1:7 Telah dibuatnya pohon anggurku menjadi musnah, dan pohon araku menjadi buntung; dikelupasnya kulitnya sama sekali dan dilemparkannya, sehingga carang-carangnya menjadi putih. 1:8 Merataplah seperti anak dara yang berlilitkan kain kabung karena mempelai, kekasih masa mudanya. 1:9 Korban sajian dan korban curahan sudah lenyap dari rumah TUHAN; dan berkabunglah para imam, yakni pelayan-pelayan TUHAN. 1:10 Ladang sudah musnah, tanah berkabung, sebab gandum sudah musnah, buah anggur sudah kering, minyak sudah menipis. 1:11 Para petani menjadi malu, tukang-tukang kebun anggur meratap karena gandum dan karena jelai, sebab sudah musnah panen ladang. 1:12 Pohon anggur sudah kering dan pohon ara sudah merana; pohon delima, juga pohon korma dan pohon apel, segala pohon di padang sudah mengering. Sungguh, kegirangan melayu dari antara anak-anak manusia. 1:13 Lilitkanlah kain kabung dan mengeluhlah, hai para imam; merataplah, hai para pelayan mezbah; masuklah, bermalamlah dengan memakai kain kabung, hai para pelayan Allahku, sebab sudah ditahan dari rumah Allahmu, korban sajian dan korban curahan. 1:14 Adakanlah puasa yang kudus, maklumkanlah perkumpulan raya; kumpulkanlah para tua-tua dan seluruh penduduk negeri ke rumah TUHAN, Allahmu, dan berteriaklah kepada TUHAN. 1:15 Wahai, hari itu! Sungguh, hari TUHAN sudah dekat, datangnya sebagai pemusnahan dari Yang Mahakuasa. 1:16 Bukankah di depan mata kita sudah lenyap makanan, sukaria dan sorak-sorai dari rumah Allah kita? 1:17 Biji-bijian menjadi kering di dalam tanah, lumbung-lumbung sudah licin tandas, rengkiang-rengkiang sudah runtuh, sebab gandum sudah habis. 1:18 Betapa mengeluhnya hewan dan gempar kawanan-kawanan lembu, sebab tidak ada lagi padang rumput baginya; juga kawanan kambing domba terkejut. 1:19 Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, sebab api telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun, dan nyala api telah menghanguskan segala pohon di padang. 1:20 Juga binatang-binatang di padang menjerit karena rindu kepada-Mu, sebab wadi telah kering, dan apipun telah memakan habis tanah gembalaan di padang gurun.

1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
1:2 Hear this, you elders, And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has [anything like] this happened in your days, Or even in the days of your fathers?
1:3 Tell your children about it, [Let] your children [tell] their children, And their children another generation.
1:4 What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten; And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
1:5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you drinkers of wine, Because of the new wine, For it has been cut off from your mouth.
1:6 For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.
1:7 He has laid waste My vine, And ruined My fig tree; He has stripped it bare and thrown [it] away; Its branches are made white.
1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the husband of her youth.
1:9 The grain offering and the drink offering Have been cut off from the house of the LORD; The priests mourn, who minister to the LORD.
1:10 The field is wasted, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine is dried up, The oil fails.
1:11 Be ashamed, you farmers, Wail, you vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field has perished.
1:12 The vine has dried up, And the fig tree has withered; The pomegranate tree, The palm tree also, And the apple treeAll the trees of the field are withered; Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men.
1:13 Gird yourselves and lament, you priests; Wail, you who minister before the altar; Come, lie all night in sackcloth, You who minister to my God; For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.
1:14 Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; Gather the elders [And] all the inhabitants of the land [Into] the house of the LORD your God, And cry out to the LORD.
1:15 Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD [is] at hand; It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
1:16 Is not the food cut off before our eyes, Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
1:17 The seed shrivels under the clods, Storehouses are in shambles; Barns are broken down, For the grain has withered.
1:18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are restless, Because they have no pasture; Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.
1:19 O LORD, to You I cry out; For fire has devoured the open pastures, And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
1:20 The beasts of the field also cry out to You, For the water brooks are dried up, And fire has devoured the open pastures.
