YLT
Young's Literal Translation
KJV
King James Version
Blow ye a
trumpet in Zion, And shout
ye
in My holy hill,
Tremble
do
all inhabitants of the earth,
For coming
is
the day of Jehovah
, for `
it is '
near!
Blow ye the
trumpet in Zion, and sound
an
alarm
in my holy mountain:
let
all the
inhabitants of the land
tremble:
for the day of the
LORD
cometh
, for it is nigh
at
hand;
A day of darkness and thick
darkness
, A day of cloud
and thick darkness, As darkness
spread on
the mountains ,
A people numerous
and mighty,
Like
it
there hath not been from
of
old
, And
after it there
is
not
again
--
till
the years of generation
and
generation
.
A day of darkness and of
gloominess
, a day of clouds
and of
thick darkness, as the
morning
spread upon
the mountains :
a great
people and a
strong;
there hath not been ever
the
like
, neither
shall
be
any
more
after it ,
even
to
the years of many
generations
.
Before
it
consumed
hath
fire ,
And after
it
burn
doth
a flame ,
As the garden of Eden `is'
the
land
before it
, And after
it
a wilderness --
a
desolation!
And also
an
escape there
hath
not
been
to
it,
A
fire devoureth
before
them;
and behind
them
a flame burneth:
the
land
is
as the garden of Eden before them
, and behind
them
a desolate
wilderness ;
yea,
and nothing
shall
escape them.
As
the appearance of horses
`
is '
its
appearance ,
And as horsemen, so they run.
The appearance of them
is as
the
appearance of
horses;
and as horsemen, so shall
they run.
As
the noise of chariots ,
on the tops of the
mountains they skip
, As
the noise of a flame of fire devouring
stubble, As a mighty
people set in array
for
battle.
Like
the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall
they leap
, like
the noise of a flame of fire that
devoureth
the
stubble, as a strong
people set in battle array
.
From
its
face pained are
peoples,
All faces have
gathered
paleness
.
Before
their
face the
people
shall
be
much
pained :
all faces shall
gather
blackness
.
As
mighty
ones
they run ,
As
men of
war
they go
up
a
wall ,
And each
in
his own
ways they
do
go
, And they embarrass
not their paths.
They shall
run like
mighty
men ;
they shall
climb
the
wall like
men
of
war;
and they
shall
march
every
one
on
his ways, and they shall
not break
their ranks:
And
each
his
brother
they press
not,
Each
in his way
they
go
on,
If
by
the
missile
they fall, they are
not cut
off
.
Neither
shall
one
thrust
another;
they shall
walk
every
one
in his path:
and
when
they fall upon
the
sword
, they shall
not be
wounded
.
In
the
city
they run to and fro ,
On
the wall
they run, Into
houses
they go
up by
the windows,
They go
in as
a thief.
They shall
run to and fro in
the city;
they shall
run upon
the
wall
, they shall
climb
up upon
the houses;
they shall
enter
in at
the
windows
like
a thief.
At
their
face
trembled
hath
the earth ,
Shaken
have
the heavens ,
Sun and moon have
been
black
, And stars have
gathered
up
their shining .
The earth shall
quake
before
them;
the heavens shall
tremble:
the
sun and the
moon shall
be
dark
, and the
stars shall
withdraw
their shining :
And Jehovah
hath
given
forth
His voice before His force,
For very
great
`is'
His camp ,
For mighty
`
is '
the
doer
of
His word ,
For great
`is'
the day of Jehovah
--
very fearful,
And who doth
bear
it?
And the
LORD
shall
utter
his voice before his army:
for his camp is
very
great:
for he
is strong
that
executeth
his word :
for the day of the
LORD
is
great
and
very terrible;
and who can
abide
it?
And
also now --
an
affirmation
of
Jehovah
, Turn ye back
unto
Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with weeping, And with lamentation.
Therefore
also now, saith
the
LORD,
turn ye even
to
me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back
unto Jehovah
your God ,
For gracious and merciful `is'
He
, Slow to anger, and abundant
in
kindness, And He
hath
repented
concerning
the evil.
And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the
LORD
your God :
for he
is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of
great
kindness, and repenteth
him
of
the evil.
Who knoweth --
He
doth
turn
back,
Yea
--
He hath
repented
, And He
hath
left
behind
Him
a blessing ,
A present
and libation
of
Jehovah
your God?
Who knoweth if
he will
return
and
repent
, and leave
a blessing behind
him;
even
a meat
offering
and a
drink
offering
unto
the
LORD
your God?
Blow ye
a
trumpet in Zion, Sanctify a fast --
proclaim
a restraint.
Blow the
trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast ,
call
a solemn
assembly:
Gather the people, sanctify an
assembly
, Assemble the aged
, Gather infants
and sucklings
of
the breasts ,
Go
out
let a
bridegroom from
his inner
chamber, And a
bride out of her closet.
Gather the people, sanctify the
congregation
, assemble the elders
, gather the
children,
and those
that
suck
the breasts :
let the
bridegroom go
forth
of
his chamber, and the
bride out of her closet.
Between the porch and the altar weep
let
the
priests
, ministrants
of
Jehovah,
And let them say :
`Have
pity
, O
Jehovah,
on
Thy people, And give not Thy
inheritance
to reproach, To
the ruling
over them of
nations,
Why
do
they say among peoples
, Where `
is '
their God? '
Let
the
priests,
the
ministers
of
the
LORD,
weep
between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare
thy people, O
LORD,
and give not thine
heritage
to reproach, that
the heathen
should
rule
over them :
wherefore
should
they say among the
people
, Where is their God?
And
let
Jehovah
be zealous
for His land, And have
pity on
His people.
Then
will
the
LORD
be jealous
for his land, and pity his people.
Let
Jehovah
answer and say to
His people, `Lo
, I am
sending
to
you the
corn, And the
new
wine, and the
oil, And ye have
been
satisfied with
it,
And I make
you
no more a reproach among nations,
Yea,
the
LORD
will
answer and say unto
his people, Behold
, I will
send
you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall
be
satisfied therewith:
and I will
no more make
you
a reproach among the
heathen:
And
the
northern
I put
far off from you, And have
driven
him unto
a land dry
and desolate, With his face unto
the eastern
sea, And his rear
unto
the western
sea, And come
up
hath
his stink, And come up doth
his
stench
, For
he hath exerted
himself
to
work
.
But
I will
remove
far off from you the
northern
army
, and will
drive
him into
a land barren
and desolate, with his face toward
the east
sea, and his hinder
part
toward
the utmost
sea, and his stink shall
come
up
, and his
ill
savour
shall
come up, because
he hath done
great
things
.
Do
not
fear, O land !
joy
and rejoice ,
For Jehovah
hath
exerted
Himself
to
work
.
Fear not
, O land ;
be
glad
and rejoice :
for the
LORD
will
do
great
things
.
Do
not fear
, O
cattle
of the field !
For sprung
forth
have
pastures of a
wilderness, For the tree hath
borne
its
fruit, Fig -
tree and vine have
given
their strength !
Be
not afraid
, ye
beasts
of the field :
for the
pastures of the
wilderness do
spring
, for the tree beareth
her
fruit, the
fig tree and the
vine do
yield
their strength .
And
ye sons
of Zion, joy
and rejoice ,
In Jehovah
your God ,
For He hath given to
you the Teacher
for
righteousness
, And causeth
to come down to
you a
shower
, Sprinkling
and gathered
--
in the beginning
.
Be
glad
then,
ye children
of Zion, and rejoice in the
LORD
your God :
for he hath given you the former
rain
moderately
, and he
will
cause
to come down for
you the
rain
, the
former
rain,
and the
latter
rain
in the first
month
.
And full
have
been
the floors `with'
pure
corn
, And overflown
have
the presses
`
with '
new
wine and oil.
And the floors shall
be
full
of
wheat
, and the vats
shall
overflow
with wine and oil.
And I have
recompensed
to you the years That consume
did
the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar
, and the palmer-worm
, My great force
that
I did
send
against
you.
And I will
restore
to you the years that the locust hath
eaten
, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller
, and the palmerworm
, my great army
which
I sent
among
you.
And ye have
eaten
, eating
and being
satisfied, And have
praised
the name of Jehovah
your God, Who
hath dealt with you wonderfully,
And not
ashamed
are
My people to
the
age
.
And ye shall
eat
in
plenty
, and be
satisfied, and praise
the name of the
LORD
your God, that
hath dealt wondrously
with you :
and my people shall
never
be
ashamed
.
And ye have
known
that in the midst of Israel `am'
I
, And I `
am '
Jehovah
your God, and there
is
none else ,
And not
ashamed
are
My people to
the
age
.
And ye shall
know
that I
am
in the midst of Israel, and that
I am the
LORD
your God, and none else :
and my people shall
never
be
ashamed
.
And it hath
come to pass afterwards
, I do
pour out My Spirit on
all flesh ,
And prophesied
have
your sons and your daughters, Your old men do
dream dreams, Your young men do
see visions .
And it shall
come to pass afterward
, that
I will
pour out my spirit upon
all flesh ;
and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy
, your old men shall
dream dreams, your young men shall
see visions :
And also on
the men-
servants ,
and on
the maid-servants,
In those days I do
pour out My Spirit.
And also upon
the servants and upon
the handmaids
in those days will
I pour out my spirit.
And I have
given
wonders in the heavens ,
and in the earth, Blood and fire, and columns
of smoke.
And I will
shew
wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood ,
and fire, and pillars
of smoke.
The sun is
turned to
darkness, and the moon to
blood, Before the coming
of
the
day
of
Jehovah,
The
great and the fearful
.
The sun shall
be
turned into
darkness, and the moon into
blood, before the great and terrible
day
of
the LORD
come
.
And it hath
come to pass, Every
one
who
calleth
in
the name of Jehovah
is
delivered ,
For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there
is
an
escape
, As Jehovah
hath said, And among
the remnants
whom Jehovah
is
calling!
And it shall
come to pass, that
whosoever
shall
call
on
the name of the
LORD
shall
be
delivered :
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall
be
deliverance
, as the
LORD
hath said, and in
the remnant
whom the
LORD
shall
call.
