Kniha proroka Joela

1 (CPDV) The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.
1 (ROH) Slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré sa stalo k Joelovi, synovi Petuelovmu.

2 (CPDV) Listen to this, elders, and pay close attention, all inhabitants of the land. Did this ever happen in your days or in the days of your fathers?
2 (ROH) Počujte to, starci, a pozorujte ušami, všetci obyvatelia zeme! Či sa to stalo za vašich dní a či za dní vašich otcov?

3 (CPDV) Talk this over with your sons, and your sons with their sons, and their sons with another generation.
3 (ROH) Rozprávajte o tom svojim synom, a vaši synovia nech rozprávajú svojim synom a ich synovia pokoleniu, ktoré prijde potom.

4 (CPDV) The locust has eaten what the caterpillar has left, and the beetle has eaten what the locust has left, and the mildew has eaten what the beetle has left.
4 (ROH) To, čo zostalo po húseniciach, požraly kobylky; to, čo zostalo po kobylkách, požrali pažraví chrobáci, a to, čo zostalo po chrobákoch, požrali chrústi.

5 (CPDV) Rouse yourselves, you drunkards, and weep and wail, all you who delight in drinking wine; for it has been cut off from your mouth.
5 (ROH) Prebuďte sa, opilci, a plačte, a kvíľte všetci, ktorí pijete víno, nad novým vínom sladkým, pretože bude vyťaté z vašich úst.

6 (CPDV) For a nation has ascended over my land: strong and without number. His teeth are like the teeth of a lion, and his molars are like that of a lion’s young.
6 (ROH) Lebo prišiel národ hore na moju zem, mocný, a niet mu počtu; jeho zuby sú zubami ľva, a má črenové zuby ľvice.

7 (CPDV) He has put my vineyard into desolation, and he has pulled off the bark of my fig tree. He has stripped it bare and cast it away; its branches have become white.
7 (ROH) Obráti môj vinič na pustinu a môj fík na rázgy, olúpe ho docela a odhodí; jeho letorasty obelejú.

8 (CPDV) Lament like a betrothed virgin, wrapped in sackcloth at the loss of the husband of her youth.
8 (ROH) Kvíľ ako panna, opásaná smútočným vrecom, nad mužom svojej mladosti!

9 (CPDV) Sacrifice and libation have perished from the house of the Lord; the priests who are ministers of the Lord have mourned.
9 (ROH) Vyťatý bude obetný dar obilný i liata obeť z domu Hospodinovho; kňazi budú smútiť, svätoslužobníci Hospodinovi.

10 (CPDV) The region has been depopulated, the soil has mourned. For the wheat has been devastated, the wine has been disfigured, the oil has languished.
10 (ROH) Spustošené bude pole, smútiť bude zem, pretože spustošené bude obilie, vyschne vínna šťava, uvädne olej.

11 (CPDV) The farmers have been confounded, the vineyard workers have wailed over the crop and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
11 (ROH) Oráči sa budú stydieť, vinári budú kvíliť, pre pšenicu a pre jačmeň, lebo zhynie žatva poľa.

12 (CPDV) The vineyard is in ruin, and the fig tree has languished. The pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the fruit tree, and all the trees of the field have withered. For joy has been thrown into disorder before the sons of men.
12 (ROH) Vinič uschne, a fík uvädne, granát i palma i jabloň; všetky stromy poľa poschnú, lebo radosť sa bude stydieť a utečie od synov človeka.

13 (CPDV) Priests, gird yourselves and lament. Ministers of the altars, wail. Enter, ministers of my God, lie in sackcloth. For sacrifice and libation have passed away from the house of your God.
13 (ROH) Prepášte sa a nariekajte, kňazi! Kvíľte, svätoslužobníci oltára! Vojdite, nocujte v smútočnom vreci, svätoslužobníci môjho Boha! Pretože bude odňatý obetný dar obilný i liata obeť z domu vášho Boha.

14 (CPDV) Sanctify a fast, call an assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God. And cry out to the Lord:
14 (ROH) Zasväťte pôst, svolajte shromaždenie, shromaždite starších, všetkých obyvateľov zeme do domu Hospodina, svojho Boha, a kričte k Hospodinovi.

15 (CPDV) “Ah, ah, ah, the day!” For the day of the Lord is near, and it will arrive, like a devastation, before the powerful.
15 (ROH) Beda toho dňa! Lebo je blízko deň Hospodinov a prijde od Všemohúceho jako lúpež.

16 (CPDV) Has not your nourishment perished from before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
16 (ROH) Či nebude vyťatý pokrm pred našimi očami, z domu nášho Boha radosť a plesanie?

17 (CPDV) The mules have rotted in their own manure, the barns have been demolished, the wine cellars have been destroyed, because the grain has been ruined.
17 (ROH) Splesneje zrno pod svojimi hrudami, spustnú zásobárne, zborené budú obilnice, pretože zahanbí obilie.

18 (CPDV) Why have the animals groaned, the herds of cattle bellowed? because there is no pasture for them. Yes, and even the flocks of sheep have been lost.
18 (ROH) Oj, ako bude stonať dobytok, ako budú zmätené stáda hoviad, lebo nebude pre ne paše, i stáda drobného dobytka budú pykať.

19 (CPDV) To you, O Lord, I will cry out, because fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the countryside.
19 (ROH) K tebe, ó, Hospodine, volám, lebo oheň žerie pasienky pustiny, a plameň páli všetky stromy poľa.

20 (CPDV) Yes, and even the beasts of the field have gazed up at you, like the dry ground thirsting for rain, because the fountains of waters have dried up, and fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness.
20 (ROH) Ešte i tá poľná zver práhnuc reve k tebe, pretože vyschly potoky vôd, a oheň strávil pasienky pustiny.
