Joel

Chapter 3

Phonetic (Hebrew): vehaya֣h 'aֽcharey-ke֗n 'eshshepּ֤oke 'et-ruchiy֙ 'al-kּal-bּashsa֔r venibּe'֖u bּeneyke֣m ubenֽoteyke֑m ziqeneykem֙ chalom֣ot yachalom֔un bּach֣ureyke֔m chezeyon֖ot yire'ֽu׃
Edified Edition (EDE)For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

וְהָיָ֣ה אַֽחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן אֶשְׁפּ֤וֹךְ אֶת־רוּחִי֙ עַל־כָּל־בָּשָׂ֔ר וְנִבְּא֖וּ בְּנֵיכֶ֣ם וּבְנֽוֹתֵיכֶ֑ם זִקְנֵיכֶם֙ חֲלֹמ֣וֹת יַחֲלֹמ֔וּן בַּח֣וּרֵיכֶ֔ם חֶזְיֹנ֖וֹת יִרְאֽוּ׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): vega֥m 'al-haֽ'abadi֖ym ve'al-hashshּepach֑ot bּayּami֣ym hahe֔mּah 'eshshepּ֖oke 'et-ruchiֽy׃
Edified Edition (EDE)I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted My land.

וְגַ֥ם עַל־הָֽעֲבָדִ֖ים וְעַל־הַשְּׁפָח֑וֹת בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔מָּה אֶשְׁפּ֖וֹךְ אֶת־רוּחִֽי׃

3
Phonetic (Hebrew): venaֽtatּiy֙ mֽopeti֔ym bּashshּama֖yim uba'a֑retz dּa֣m va'e֔shsh vetiֽymar֖ot 'ashshaֽn׃
Edified Edition (EDE)And they have cast lots for My people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.

וְנָֽתַתִּי֙ מֽוֹפְתִ֔ים בַּשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּבָאָ֑רֶץ דָּ֣ם וָאֵ֔שׁ וְתִֽימֲר֖וֹת עָשָֽׁן׃

Phonetic (Hebrew): hashshּe֨meshsh֙ yehape֣ke lecho֔shsheke vehayּare֖cha leda֑m lipene֗y bּ֚o y֣om yehva֔h hagּad֖ol vehanּoraֽ'׃
Edified Edition (EDE)Yes, and what have you to do with Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will you render Me a recompence? and if you recompense Me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;

הַשֶּׁ֨מֶשׁ֙ יֵהָפֵ֣ךְ לְחֹ֔שֶׁךְ וְהַיָּרֵ֖חַ לְדָ֑ם לִפְנֵ֗י בּ֚וֹא י֣וֹם יְהוָ֔ה הַגָּד֖וֹל וְהַנּוֹרָֽא׃

Edified Edition (EDE)Because you have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into your temples My goodly pleasant things:

וְהָיָ֗ה כֹּ֧ל אֲשֶׁר־יִקְרָ֛א בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה יִמָּלֵ֑ט כִּ֠י בְּהַר־צִיּ֨וֹן וּבִירוּשָׁלִַ֜ם תִּֽהְיֶ֣ה פְלֵיטָ֗ה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר֙ אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה וּבַ֨שְּׂרִידִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה קֹרֵֽא׃
