요엘 1장 NASB
- 1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel:
- 2 Hear this O elders And listen all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days Or in your fathers' days?
- 3 Tell your sons about it And let your sons tell their sons And their sons the next generation.
- 4 What the gnawing locust has left the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left the stripping locust has eaten.
- 5 Awake drunkards and weep; And wail all you wine drinkers On account of the sweet wine That is cut off from your mouth.
- 6 For a nation has invaded my land Mighty and without number; Its teeth are the teeth of a lion And it has the fangs of a lioness.
- 7 It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; Their branches have become white.
- 8 Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the bridegroom of her youth.
- 9 The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off From the house of the LORD. The priests mourn The ministers of the LORD.
- 10 The field is ruined The land mourns; For the grain is ruined The new wine dries up Fresh oil fails.
- 11 Be ashamed O farmers Wail O vinedressers For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
- 12 The vine dries up And the fig tree fails; The pomegranate the palm also and the apple tree All the trees of the field dry up. Indeed rejoicing dries up From the sons of men.
- 13 Gird yourselves with sackcloth And lament O priests; Wail O ministers of the altar! Come spend the night in sackcloth O ministers of my God For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.
- 14 Consecrate a fast Proclaim a solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the LORD your God And cry out to the LORD.
- 15 Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
- 16 Has not food been cut off before our eyes Gladness and joy from the house of our God?
- 17 The seeds shrivel under their clods; The storehouses are desolate The barns are torn down For the grain is dried up.
- 18 How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle wander aimlessly Because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep suffer.
- 19 To You O LORD I cry; For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.
- 20 Even the beasts of the field pant for You; For the water brooks are dried up And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
