The word of Yahweh, which came unto Joel, son of Pethuel.

Blow ye a horn in Zion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land, tremble, - for coming is the day of Yahweh, for it is near! -

Before him, hath quaked the earth, have trembled the heavens, - the sun and the moon, have become dark, and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining;

Blow ye a horn, in Zion, - hallow a fast, call a solemn assembly:

Ye sons of Zion, then, exult and be glad in Yahweh your God, for he hath given you the seed-rain, in right manner, - Yea he hath caused to descend for you a down-pour, of seed-rain and of the harvest-rain in the first month;

The sun, shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, - before the coming of the great and awful day of Yahweh.

And it shall come to pass, whosoever, shall call on the name of Yahweh, shall be delivered, - For in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, shall be a delivered remnant, just as Yahweh hath said, and among the survivors, whom Yahweh doth call.

The sun and the moon, have become dark, - and, the stars, have withdrawn their shining,

And, Yahweh, out of Zion, will roar, and, out of Jerusalem, will utter his voice, and the heavens and the earth, shall tremble, - but, Yahweh, shall be a shelter to his people, and a refuge to the sons of Israel.

So shall ye know that, I, Yahweh, am your God, making my habitation in Zion my holy mountain, - So shall, Jerusalem, be, holy, and, foreigners, shall pass through her no more.

And I will free from their blood-guiltiness them whom I had not freed, - for, Yahweh, is about to make his habitation in Zion.
