约珥书 Joel

1:1	[hgb]	耶和华的话临到毗土珥的儿子约珥。
	[bbe]	The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.
1:2	[hgb]	老年人哪，当听我的话。国中的居民哪，都要侧耳而听。在你们的日子，或你们列祖的日子，曾有这样的事吗？
	[bbe]	Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
1:3	[hgb]	你们要将这事传与子，子传与孙，孙传与后代。
	[bbe]	Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.
1:4	[hgb]	剪虫剩下的，蝗虫来吃。蝗虫剩下的，蝻子来吃。蝻子剩下的，蚂蚱来吃。
	[bbe]	What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.
1:5	[hgb]	酒醉的人哪，要清醒哭泣。好酒的人哪，都要为甜酒哀号。因为从你们的口中断绝了。
	[bbe]	Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.
1:6	[hgb]	有一队蝗虫（原文是民）又强盛又无数，侵犯我的地。它的牙齿如狮子的牙齿，大牙如母狮的大牙。
	[bbe]	For a nation has come up over my land, strong and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the back teeth of a great lion.
1:7	[hgb]	它毁坏我的葡萄树，剥了我无花果树的皮，剥尽而丢弃，使枝条露白。
	[bbe]	By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white.
1:8	[hgb]	我的民哪，你当哀号，像处女腰束麻布，为幼年的丈夫哀号。
	[bbe]	Make sounds of grief like a virgin dressed in haircloth for the husband of her early years.
1:9	[hgb]	素祭和奠祭从耶和华的殿中断绝。事奉耶和华的祭司都悲哀。
	[bbe]	The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.
1:10	[hgb]	田荒凉，地悲哀，因为五谷毁坏，新酒干竭，油也缺乏。
	[bbe]	The fields are wasted, the land has become dry; for the grain is wasted, the new wine is kept back, the oil is poor.
1:11	[hgb]	农夫阿，你们要惭愧，修理葡萄园的阿，你们要哀号，因为大麦小麦，与田间的庄稼，都灭绝了。
	[bbe]	The farmers are shamed, the workers in the vine-gardens give cries of grief, for the wheat and the barley; for the produce of the fields has come to destruction.
1:12	[hgb]	葡萄树枯干，无花果树衰残。石榴树，棕树，苹果树，连田野一切的树木，也都枯干。众人的喜乐尽都消灭。
	[bbe]	The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.
1:13	[hgb]	祭司阿，你们当腰束麻布痛哭。伺候祭坛的阿，你们要哀号。事奉我神的阿，你们要来披上麻布过夜。因为素祭，和奠祭，从你们神的殿中断绝了。
	[bbe]	Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.
1:14	[hgb]	你们要分定禁食的日子，宣告严肃会，招聚长老，和国中的一切居民，到耶和华你们神的殿，向耶和华哀求。
	[bbe]	Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.
1:15	[hgb]	哀哉，耶和华的日子临近了。这日来到，好像毁灭从全能者来到。
	[bbe]	Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.
1:16	[hgb]	粮食不是在我们眼前断绝了吗？欢喜快乐不是从我们神的殿中止息了吗？
	[bbe]	Is not food cut off before our eyes? joy and delight from the house of our God?
1:17	[hgb]	谷种在土块下朽烂。仓也荒凉，廪也破坏。因为五谷枯干了。
	[bbe]	The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.
1:18	[hgb]	牲畜哀鸣，牛群混乱，因为无草。羊群也受了困苦。
	[bbe]	What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.
1:19	[hgb]	耶和华阿，我向你求告。因为火烧灭旷野的草场，火焰烧尽田野的树木。
	[bbe]	O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.
1:20	[hgb]	田野的走兽向你发喘。因为溪水干涸，火也烧灭旷野的草场。
	[bbe]	The beasts of the field are turning to you with desire: for the water-streams are dry and fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste.
