1 "For, behold, in those days, And in that time, When I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,

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

2 I will gather all nations, And will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will execute judgment on them there for my people, And for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

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

3 And have cast lots for my people, And have given a boy for a prostitute, And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

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

4 "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, And all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.

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

5 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, And have carried my finest treasures into your temples,

5 אֲשֶׁר־כַּסְפִּ֥י וּזְהָבִ֖י לְקַחְתֶּ֑ם וּמַֽחֲמַדַּי֙ הַטֹּבִ֔ים הֲבֵאתֶ֖ם לְהֵיכְלֵיכֶֽם׃

6 And have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, That you may remove them far from their border.

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

7 Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, And will return your repayment on your own head;

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

8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah, And they will sell them to the men of Sheba, To a faraway nation, For Yahweh has spoken it."

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

9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.

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

10 Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, "I am strong."

10 כֹּ֤תּוּ אִתֵּיכֶם֙ לַֽחֲרָבֹ֔ות וּמַזְמְרֹֽתֵיכֶ֖ם לִרְמָחִ֑ים הַֽחַלָּ֔שׁ יֹאמַ֖ר גִּבֹּ֥ור אָֽנִי׃

11 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, And gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, Yahweh.

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

12 "Let the nations arouse themselves, And come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; For there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

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

13 Put in the sickle; For the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."

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

14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision.

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

15 The sun and the moon are darkened, And the stars withdraw their shining."

15 שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ וְיָרֵ֖חַ קָדָ֑רוּ וְכֹוכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽם׃

16 Yahweh will roar from Zion, And thunder from Jerusalem; And the heavens and the earth will shake; But Yahweh will be a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to the children of Israel.

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

17 "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, Dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, And no strangers will pass through her any more.

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

18 It will happen in that day, That the mountains will drop down sweet wine, The hills will flow with milk, All the brooks of Judah will flow with waters; And a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, And will water the valley of Shittim.

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

19 Egypt will be a desolation, And Edom will be a desolate wilderness, For the violence done to the children of Judah, Because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

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

20 But Judah will be inhabited forever, And Jerusalem from generation to generation.

20 וִיהוּדָ֖ה לְעֹולָ֣ם תֵּשֵׁ֑ב וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם לְדֹ֥ור וָדֹֽור׃

21 I will cleanse their blood, That I have not cleansed: For Yahweh dwells in Zion."

21 וְנִקֵּ֖יתִי דָּמָ֣ם לֹֽא־נִקֵּ֑יתִי וַֽיהוָ֖ה שֹׁכֵ֥ן בְּצִיֹּֽון׃
