Joel 2 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Blow the trumpet on Zion. Shout a warning on my holy mountain. Let all the people who live in the land shake with fear. The Lord's special day is coming; it is near.
2 It will be a dark, gloomy day. It will be a dark and cloudy day. At sunrise you will see the army spread over the mountains. It will be a great and powerful army. There has never been anything like it before, and there will never be anything like it again.
3 The army will destroy the land like a burning fire. In front of them the land will be like the Garden of Eden. Behind them the land will be like an empty desert. Nothing will escape them.
4 They look like horses. They run like war horses.
5 Listen to them. It is like the noise of chariots riding over the mountains. It is like the noise of flames burning the chaff. They are a powerful people who are ready for war.
6 Before this army, people shake with fear. Their faces become pale from fear.
7 The soldiers run fast. They climb over the walls. Each soldier marches straight ahead. They don't move from their path.
8 They don't trip each other. Each soldier walks in his own path. If one of the soldiers is hit and falls down, the others keep right on marching.
9 They run to the city. They quickly climb over the wall. They climb into the houses. They climb through the windows like thieves.
10 Before them, earth and sky shake. The sun and the moon become dark, and the stars stop shining.
11 The Lord calls loudly to his army. His camp is very large. The army obeys his commands. His army is very powerful. The Lord's special day is a great and terrible day. No one can stop it.
12 This is the Lord's message: "Now come back to me with all your heart. Cry and mourn, and don't eat any food to show you are sad for doing wrong.
13 Tear your hearts, not your clothes. " Come back to the Lord your God. He is kind and merciful. He does not become angry quickly. He has great love. Maybe he will change his mind about the bad punishment he planned.
14 Who knows? Maybe the Lord will change his mind and leave behind a blessing for you. Then you can give grain and drink offerings to the Lord your God.
15 Blow the trumpet at Zion. Call for a special meeting. Call for a special time of fasting.
16 Bring the people together. Call for a special meeting. Bring together the old men, the children, and the small babies still at their mother's breasts. Let the bride and her new husband come from their bedroom.
17 Let the priests, the Lord's servants, cry between the porch and the altar. All of them should say this: "Lord, have mercy on your people. Don't let your people be put to shame. Don't let other people tell jokes about your people. Don't let the other nations laugh at us and say, 'Where is their God?'"
18 Then the Lord cared very much about his land. He felt sorry for his people.
19 The Lord spoke to his people. He said, "I will send you grain, wine, and oil. You will have plenty. I will not shame you among the nations anymore.
20 No, I will force the people from the north to leave your land and make them go into a dry, empty land. Some of them will go to the eastern sea and some to the western sea. They did such terrible things, but they will be like a dead and rotting body. There will be such a terrible smell!"
21 Land, don't be afraid. Be happy and full of joy. The Lord will do great things.
22 Animals of the field, don't be afraid. The desert pastures will grow grass. The trees will grow fruit. The fig trees and the vines will grow plenty of fruit.
23 So be happy, people of Zion. Be joyful in the Lord your God. He will be good and give you rain. He will send you the early rains and the late rains like before.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with wheat. And the barrels will overflow with wine and olive oil.
25 "I, the Lord, sent my army against you. The swarming locusts and the hopping locusts and the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts ate everything you had. But I, the Lord, will pay you back for those years of trouble.
26 Then you will have plenty to eat. You will be full. You will praise the name of the Lord your God. He has done wonderful things for you. My people will never again be ashamed.
27 You will know that I am with Israel. You will know that I am the Lord your God. There is no other God. My people will never be ashamed again."
28 "After this, I will pour out my Spirit on all kinds of people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions.
29 In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on servants, both men and women.
30 I will work wonders in the sky and on the earth. There will be blood, fire, and thick smoke.
31 The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon will be as red as blood. Then the great and fearful day of the Lord will come!
32 And everyone who trusts in the Lord will be saved. There will be survivors on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, just as the Lord said. Yes, those left alive will be the ones the Lord has called.
1 Blow H8628 ye the trumpet H7782 in Zion H6726 , and sound an alarm H7321 in my holy H6944 mountain H2022 : let all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS tremble H7264 : for H3588 CONJ the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS cometh H935 , for H3588 CONJ it is nigh at hand H7138 ;
2 A day H3117 NMS of darkness H2822 NMS and of gloominess H653 , a day H3117 NMS of clouds H6051 NMS and of thick darkness H6205 W-NMS , as the morning H7837 spread H6566 upon H5921 PREP the mountains H2022 : a great H7227 AMS people H5971 NMS and a strong H6099 ; there hath not H3808 NADV been H1961 ever H5769 the like H3644 PART-3MS , neither H3808 NADV shall be any more H3254 after H310 it , even to H5704 PREP the years H8141 of many generations H1755 .
3 A fire H784 CMS devoureth H398 VQQ3FS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them ; and behind H310 W-PREP-3MS them a flame H3852 burneth H3857 VPY3FS : the land H776 D-GFS is as the garden H1588 K-CMS of Eden H5731 GFS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them , and behind H310 them a desolate H8077 wilderness H4057 ; yea H1571 W-CONJ , and nothing H3808 NADV shall escape H6413 them .
4 The appearance H4758 of them is as the appearance H4758 CMS-3MS of horses H5483 ; and as horsemen H6571 , so H3651 ADV shall they run H7323 .
5 Like the noise H6963 of chariots H4818 on H5921 PREP the tops H7218 CMP of mountains H2022 shall they leap H7540 , like the noise H6963 of a flame H3851 CMS of fire H784 CMS that devoureth H398 the stubble H7179 , as a strong H6099 people H5971 set in battle array H6186 .
6 Before their face H6440 M-CMP-3MS the people H5971 NMP shall be much pained H2342 : all H3605 NMS faces H6440 NMP shall gather H6908 blackness H6289 .
7 They shall run H7323 like mighty men H1368 ; they shall climb H5927 the wall H2346 like men H376 of war H4421 NFS ; and they shall march H1980 every one H376 W-NMS on his ways H1870 , and they shall not H3808 W-NPAR break H5670 their ranks H734 :
8 Neither H3808 NADV shall one H376 W-NMS thrust H1766 another H251 CMS-3MS ; they shall walk H1980 every one H1397 NMS in his path H4546 : and when they fall H5307 upon H1157 W-PREP the sword H7973 , they shall not H3808 NADV be wounded H1214 .
9 They shall run to and fro H8264 in the city H5892 BD-NFS ; they shall run H7323 upon the wall H2346 , they shall climb up H5927 upon the houses H1004 ; they shall enter in H935 VQY3MP at H1157 PREP the windows H2474 like a thief H1590 KD-NMS .
10 The earth H776 GFS shall quake H7264 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS them ; the heavens H8064 NMS shall tremble H7493 : the sun H8121 and the moon H3394 W-NMS shall be dark H6937 , and the stars H3556 W-NMP shall withdraw H622 their shining H5051 :
11 And the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS shall utter H5414 VQQ3MS his voice H6963 before H6440 L-CMP his army H2428 : for H3588 CONJ his camp H4264 is very H3966 ADV great H7227 AMS : for H3588 CONJ he is strong H6099 that executeth H6213 his word H1697 : for H3588 CONJ the day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS is great H1419 and very H3966 ADV terrible H3372 ; and who H4310 W-IPRO can abide H3557 it ?
12 Therefore also H1571 W-CONJ now H6258 ADV , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS , turn H7725 ye even to H5704 me with all H3605 B-CMS your heart H3824 , and with fasting H6685 , and with weeping H1065 , and with mourning H4553 :
13 And rend H7167 your heart H3824 , and not H408 W-NPAR your garments H899 , and turn H7725 unto H413 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is gracious H2587 AMS and merciful H7349 W-AMS , slow H750 JMS to anger H639 NMD , and of great H7227 W-JMS kindness H2617 NMS , and repenteth H5162 W-VNPMS him of H5921 PREP the evil H7451 D-AFS .
14 Who H4310 IPRO knoweth H3045 VQPMS if he will return H7725 VQY3MS and repent H5162 W-VNPMS , and leave H7604 a blessing H1293 behind H310 him ; even a meat offering H4503 NFS and a drink offering H5262 unto the LORD H3068 L-EDS your God H430 ?
15 Blow H8628 the trumpet H7782 in Zion H6726 , sanctify H6942 a fast H6685 NMS , call H7121 a solemn assembly H6116 :
16 Gather H622 the people H5971 NMS , sanctify H6942 the congregation H6951 , assemble H6908 the elders H2205 AMP , gather H622 the children H5768 , and those that suck H3243 the breasts H7699 : let the bridegroom H2860 go forth H3318 VQY3MS of his chamber H2315 , and the bride H3618 out of her closet H2646 .
17 Let the priests H3548 , the ministers H8334 of the LORD H3068 EDS , weep H1058 between H996 PREP the porch H197 and the altar H4196 , and let them say H559 , Spare H2347 thy people H5971 , O LORD H3068 EDS , and give H5414 VQY2MS not H408 W-NPAR thine heritage H5159 to reproach H2781 , that the heathen H1471 NMP should rule H4910 over them : wherefore H4100 L-IPRO should they say H559 VQY3MP among the people H5971 , Where H346 IGAT is their God H430 ?
18 Then will the LORD H3068 EDS be jealous H7065 for his land H776 L-CFS-3MS , and pity H2550 his people H5971 .
19 Yea , the LORD H3068 EDS will answer H6030 W-VQY3MS and say H559 W-VQY3MS unto his people H5971 , Behold H2009 , I will send H7971 you corn H1715 , and wine H8492 , and oil H3323 , and ye shall be satisfied H7646 therewith H854 : and I will no H3808 W-NPAR more H5750 ADV make H5414 VQY1MS you a reproach H2781 among the heathen H1471 :
20 But I will remove far off H7368 from you the northern H6830 army , and will drive H5080 him into H413 PREP a land H776 GFS barren H6723 NFS and desolate H8077 , with H854 PREP his face H6440 CMP-3MS toward H413 PREP the east H6931 sea H3220 D-NMS , and his hinder part H5490 toward H413 PREP the utmost H314 sea H3220 D-NMS , and his stink H889 shall come up H5927 , and his ill savor H6709 shall come up H5927 , because H3588 CONJ he hath done H6213 great things H1431 .
21 Fear H3372 not H408 NPAR , O land H127 ; be glad H1523 and rejoice H8055 : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS will do H6213 great things H1431 .
22 Be not afraid H3372 , ye beasts H929 of the field H7704 : for H3588 CONJ the pastures H4999 of the wilderness H4057 NMS do spring H1876 , for H3588 CONJ the tree H6086 NMS beareth H5375 VQQ3MS her fruit H6529 , the fig tree H8384 and the vine H1612 do yield H5414 their strength H2428 .
23 Be glad H1523 then , ye children H1121 W-CMP of Zion H6726 , and rejoice H8055 in the LORD H3068 your God H430 : for H3588 CONJ he hath given H5414 VQQ3MS you the former rain H4175 moderately H6666 , and he will cause to come down H3381 for you the rain H1653 , the former rain H4175 , and the latter rain H4456 in the first H7223 month .
24 And the floors H1637 shall be full H4390 of wheat H1250 , and the fats H3342 shall overflow H7783 with wine H8492 and oil H3323 .
25 And I will restore H7999 to you the years H8141 that H834 RPRO the locust H697 hath eaten H398 VQQ3MS , the cankerworm H3218 , and the caterpillar H2625 , and the palmerworm H1501 , my great H1419 D-AMS army H2428 which H834 RPRO I sent H7971 among you .
26 And ye shall eat in plenty H398 , and be satisfied H7646 , and praise H1984 the name H8034 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , that H834 RPRO hath dealt H6213 VQQ3MS wondrously H6381 with H5973 PREP-3MP you : and my people H5971 shall never H3808 W-NPAR be ashamed H954 .
27 And ye shall know H3045 that H3588 CONJ I H589 W-PPRO-1MS am in the midst H7130 of Israel H3478 , and that I H589 W-PPRO-1MS am the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 , and none H369 W-NPAR else H5750 ADV : and my people H5971 shall never H3808 W-NPAR be ashamed H954 .
28 And it shall come to pass H1961 afterward H310 PREP , that I will pour out H8210 my spirit H7307 CFS-1MS upon H5921 PREP all H3605 flesh H1320 NMS ; and your sons H1121 and your daughters H1323 shall prophesy H5012 , your old men H2205 shall dream H2492 dreams H2472 , your young men H970 shall see H7200 visions H2384 :
29 And also H1571 W-CONJ upon H5921 PREP the servants H5650 and upon H5921 PREP the handmaids H8198 in those H1992 days H3117 BD-NMP will I pour out H8210 my spirit H7307 CMS-1MS .
30 And I will show H5414 wonders H4159 in the heavens H8064 BD-NMP and in the earth H776 , blood H1818 NMS , and fire H784 , and pillars H8490 of smoke H6227 .
31 The sun H8121 D-NMS shall be turned H2015 into darkness H2822 , and the moon H3394 into blood H1818 L-NMS , before H6440 the great H1419 D-AMS and the terrible H3372 day H3117 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS come H935 VQFC .
32 And it shall come to pass H1961 , that whosoever H3605 NMS shall call H7121 VQY3MS on the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS shall be delivered H4422 : for H3588 in mount H2022 Zion H6726 and in Jerusalem H3389 shall be H1961 VQY2MS deliverance H6413 , as H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS hath said H559 VQQ3MS , and in the remnant H8300 whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS shall call H7121 .
