1 And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:

1 כִּ֗י הִנֵּ֛ה בַּיָּמִ֥ים הָהֵ֖מָּה וּבָעֵ֣ת הַהִ֑יא אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָשׁוּב אָשִׁ֛יב אֶת־שְׁב֥וּת יְהוּדָ֖ה וִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃

2 And on the servants and the servant-girls in those days I will send my spirit.

2 וְקִבַּצְתִּי֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַגֹּויִ֔ם וְהֹ֣ורַדְתִּ֔ים אֶל־עֵ֖מֶק יְהֹֽושָׁפָ֑ט וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּ֨י עִמָּ֜ם שָׁ֗ם עַל־עַמִּ֨י וְנַחֲלָתִ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר פִּזְּר֣וּ בַגֹּויִ֔ם וְאֶת־אַרְצִ֖י חִלֵּֽקוּ׃

3 And I will let wonders be seen in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

3 וְאֶל־עַמִּ֖י יַדּ֣וּ גֹורָ֑ל וַיִּתְּנ֤וּ הַיֶּ֙לֶד֙ בַּזֹּונָ֔ה וְהַיַּלְדָּ֛ה מָכְר֥וּ בַיַּ֖יִן וַיִּשְׁתּֽוּ׃

4 The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.

4 וְ֠גַם מָה־אַתֶּ֥ם לִי֙ צֹ֣ר וְצִידֹ֔ון וְכֹ֖ל גְּלִילֹ֣ות פְּלָ֑שֶׁת הַגְּמ֗וּל אַתֶּם֙ מְשַׁלְּמִ֣ים עָלָ֔י וְאִם־גֹּמְלִ֤ים אַתֶּם֙ עָלַ֔י קַ֣ל מְהֵרָ֔ה אָשִׁ֥יב גְּמֻלְכֶ֖ם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם׃

5 And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.

5 אֲשֶׁר־כַּסְפִּ֥י וּזְהָבִ֖י לְקַחְתֶּ֑ם וּמַֽחֲמַדַּי֙ הַטֹּבִ֔ים הֲבֵאתֶ֖ם לְהֵיכְלֵיכֶֽם׃

6 For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,

6 וּבְנֵ֤י יְהוּדָה֙ וּבְנֵ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם מְכַרְתֶּ֖ם לִבְנֵ֣י הַיְּוָנִ֑ים לְמַ֥עַן הַרְחִיקָ֖ם מֵעַ֥ל גְּבוּלָֽם׃

7 I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

7 הִנְנִ֣י מְעִירָ֔ם מִן־הַ֨מָּקֹ֔ום אֲשֶׁר־מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתָ֖ם שָׁ֑מָּה וַהֲשִׁבֹתִ֥י גְמֻלְכֶ֖ם בְּרֹאשְׁכֶֽם׃

8 And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine.

8 וּמָכַרְתִּ֞י אֶת־בְּנֵיכֶ֣ם וְאֶת־בְּנֹֽותֵיכֶ֗ם בְּיַד֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה וּמְכָר֥וּם לִשְׁבָאיִ֖ם אֶל־גֹּ֣וי רָחֹ֑וק כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה דִּבֵּֽר׃

9 And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,

9 קִרְאוּ־זֹאת֙ בַּגֹּויִ֔ם קַדְּשׁ֖וּ מִלְחָמָ֑ה הָעִ֙ירוּ֙ הַגִּבֹּורִ֔ים יִגְּשׁ֣וּ יַֽעֲל֔וּ כֹּ֖ל אַנְשֵׁ֥י הַמִּלְחָמָֽה׃

10 For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.

10 כֹּ֤תּוּ אִתֵּיכֶם֙ לַֽחֲרָבֹ֔ות וּמַזְמְרֹֽתֵיכֶ֖ם לִרְמָחִ֑ים הַֽחַלָּ֔שׁ יֹאמַ֖ר גִּבֹּ֥ור אָֽנִי׃

11 And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:

11 ע֣וּשׁוּ וָבֹ֧אוּ כָֽל־הַגֹּויִ֛ם מִסָּבִ֖יב וְנִקְבָּ֑צוּ שָׁ֕מָּה הַֽנְחַ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה גִּבֹּורֶֽיךָ׃

12 See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;

12 יֵעֹ֙ורוּ֙ וְיַעֲל֣וּ הַגֹּויִ֔ם אֶל־עֵ֖מֶק יְהֹֽושָׁפָ֑ט כִּ֣י שָׁ֗ם אֵשֵׁ֛ב לִשְׁפֹּ֥ט אֶת־כָּל־הַגֹּויִ֖ם מִסָּבִֽיב׃

13 I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.

13 שִׁלְח֣וּ מַגָּ֔ל כִּ֥י בָשַׁ֖ל קָצִ֑יר בֹּ֤אֽוּ רְדוּ֙ כִּֽי־מָ֣לְאָה גַּ֔ת הֵשִׁ֙יקוּ֙ הַיְקָבִ֔ים כִּ֥י רַבָּ֖ה רָעָתָֽם׃

14 Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.

14 הֲמֹונִ֣ים הֲמֹונִ֔ים בְּעֵ֖מֶק הֶֽחָר֑וּץ כִּ֤י קָרֹוב֙ יֹ֣ום יְהוָ֔ה בְּעֵ֖מֶק הֶחָרֽוּץ׃

15 Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong.

15 שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ וְיָרֵ֖חַ קָדָ֑רוּ וְכֹוכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽם׃

16 Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

16 וַיהוָ֞ה מִצִּיֹּ֣ון יִשְׁאָ֗ג וּמִירוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ יִתֵּ֣ן קֹולֹ֔ו וְרָעֲשׁ֖וּ שָׁמַ֣יִם וָאָ֑רֶץ וַֽיהוָה֙ מַֽחֲסֶ֣ה לְעַמֹּ֔ו וּמָעֹ֖וז לִבְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

17 Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.

17 וִֽידַעְתֶּ֗ם כִּ֣י אֲנִ֤י יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹ֣הֵיכֶ֔ם שֹׁכֵ֖ן בְּצִיֹּ֣ון הַר־קָדְשִׁ֑י וְהָיְתָ֤ה יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ קֹ֔דֶשׁ וְזָרִ֥ים לֹא־יַֽעַבְרוּ־בָ֖הּ עֹֽוד׃

18 Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.

18 וְהָיָה֩ בַיֹּ֨ום הַה֜וּא יִטְּפ֧וּ הֶהָרִ֣ים עָסִ֗יס וְהַגְּבָעֹות֙ תֵּלַ֣כְנָה חָלָ֔ב וְכָל־אֲפִיקֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה יֵ֣לְכוּ מָ֑יִם וּמַעְיָ֗ן מִבֵּ֤ית יְהוָה֙ יֵצֵ֔א וְהִשְׁקָ֖ה אֶת־נַ֥חַל הַשִּׁטִּֽים׃

19 Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

19 מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ לִשְׁמָמָ֣ה תִֽהְיֶ֔ה וֶאֱדֹ֕ום לְמִדְבַּ֥ר שְׁמָמָ֖ה תִּֽהְיֶ֑ה מֵֽחֲמַס֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־שָׁפְכ֥וּ דָם־נָקִ֖יא בְּאַרְצָֽם׃

20 The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.

20 וִיהוּדָ֖ה לְעֹולָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֑ב וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם לְדֹ֥ור וָדֹֽור׃

21 And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

21 וְנִקֵּ֖יתִי דָּמָ֣ם לֹֽא־נִקֵּ֑יתִי וַֽיהוָ֖ה שֹׁכֵ֥ן בְּצִיֹּֽון׃

22 And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.

23 And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.

24 Egypt will be a waste and Edom a land of destruction, because of the evil done to the children of Judah, because they have let blood be drained out in their land without cause.

25 But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

26 And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
