aBlow a trumpet in Zion,And make a loud shout on My holy mountain!Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,For the bday of Yahweh is coming;Surely it is near,2 A day of adarkness and thick darkness,A day of clouds and dense gloom.As the dawn is spread over the mountains,So there is a bnumerous and mighty people;There has cnever been anything like it,Nor will there be again after itFor the years from generation to generation.3 A afire consumes before them,And behind them a flame burns.The land is blike the garden of Eden before themBut a cdesolate wilderness behind them,And nothing at all escapes them.4 Their aappearance is like the appearance of horses;And like war horses, so they run.5 1With a anoise as of chariotsThey leap on the tops of the mountains,Like the 2crackling of a bflame of fire consumes the stubble,Like a mighty people arranged for battle.6 Before them the peoples are awrithing;All bfaces 1turn pale.7 They run like mighty men;They climb up the wall like men of war;And they each amarch 1in line,And they do not deviate from their paths.8 They do not crowd each other;They march everyone in his path;When they fall against the defending weapons,They do not break ranks.9 They rush on the city;They run on the wall;They climb up into the ahouses;They benter through the windows like a thief.10 Before them the earth atrembles;The heavens quake;The bsun and the moon grow dark,And the stars 1lose their brightness.11 But Yahweh agives forth His voice before bHis military force;Surely His camp is very numerous,For cmighty is he who does His word.The dday of Yahweh is indeed great and very awesome,And ewho can endure it?
Return to Yahweh
12 “Yet even now,” declares Yahweh,“aReturn to Me with all your heartAnd with bfasting, weeping, and 1wailing;13 And atear your heart and not byour garments.”Now return to Yahweh your God,For He is cgracious and compassionate,Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness,And drelenting concerning evil.14 Who knows awhether He will not turn and relentAnd leave a bblessing behind Him,Even ca grain offering and a drink offeringFor Yahweh your God?15 aBlow a trumpet in Zion,bSet apart a fast as holy, call for a solemn assembly,16 Gather the people, aset apart the congregation as holy,Assemble the elders,Gather the infants and the nursing babies.Let the bbridegroom come out of his roomAnd the bride out of her bridal chamber.17 Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh,Weep abetween the porch and the altar,And let them say, “bPity Your people, O Yahweh,And do not make Your inheritance a creproach,A byword among the nations.Why should they among the peoples say,‘dWhere is their God?’”
Yahweh Will Spare His People
18 Then Yahweh 1will be azealous for His landAnd 2will bspare His people.19 Then Yahweh 1will answer and say to His people,“Behold, I am going to asend you grain, new wine, and oil,And you will be satisfied in full with 2them;And I will bnever again make you a reproach among the nations.20 “But I will remove the anorthern military force far from you,And I will drive it into a parched and desolate land,And its vanguard into the beastern sea,And its rear guard into the cwestern sea.And its dstench will rise up, and its foul smell will rise up,For it has done great things.”
21 aDo not fear, O land, rejoice and be glad,For Yahweh has done bgreat things.22 Do not fear, beasts of the field,For the apastures of the wilderness have turned green,For the tree has borne its fruit;The fig tree and the vine have yielded 1their full force.23 So rejoice, O asons of Zion,And bbe glad in Yahweh your God,For He has cgiven you 1the early rain in righteousness.And He has poured down for you the rain,The 2early and 3dlate rains 4as before.24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,And the vats will aoverflow with the new wine and oil.25 “Then I will pay back to you in full for the yearsThat the swarming alocust has consumed,The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust,My great military force which I sent among you.26 “And you will have plenty to aconsume and be satisfiedAnd bpraise the name of Yahweh your God,Who has cdealt wondrously with you;Then My people will dnever be put to shame.27 “Thus you will aknow that I am in the midst of Israel,And that I am Yahweh your God,And there is bno other;And My people will never be cput to shame.
Yahweh Will Pour Out His Spirit
28 “1aAnd it will be afterwardsThat I will bpour out My Spirit on all 2cmankind;And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy;Your old men will dream dreams;Your young men will see visions.29 “Even on the amale slaves and female slavesI will in those days pour out My Spirit.
Deliverance in the Day of Yahweh
30 “And I will aput wonders in the sky and on the earth,Blood, fire, and columns of smoke.31 “The asun will be turned into darknessAnd the moon into bloodBefore the bgreat and awesome day of Yahweh comes.32 “And it will be that aeveryone who calls on the name of YahwehWill 1be delivered;For bon Mount Zion and in JerusalemThere will be those who cescape,As Yahweh has said,Even among the dsurvivors whom Yahweh calls.
