- The Word of Yahweh that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.
- Hear this, you elders, And listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
- Tell your children about it, and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation.
- What the swarming locust has left, the great locust has eaten. What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten. What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten.
- Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
- For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a lioness.
- He has laid my vine waste, and stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white.
- Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackcloth for the husband of her youth!
- The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from Yahweh's house. The priests, Yahweh's ministers, mourn.
- The field is laid waste. The land mourns, for the grain is destroyed, The new wine has dried up, and the oil languishes.
- Be confounded, you farmers! Wail, you vineyard keepers; for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field has perished.
- The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all of the trees of the field are withered; for joy has withered away from the sons of men.
- Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, for the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God's house.
- Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of Yahweh, your God, and cry to Yahweh.
- Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
- Isn't the food cut off before our eyes; joy and gladness from the house of our God?
- The seeds rot under their clods. The granaries are laid desolate. The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered.
- How the animals groan! The herds of livestock are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
- Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.
- Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, for the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

- דבר־יהוה אשר היה אל־יואל בן־פתואל׃
- שמעו־זאת הזקנים והאזינו כל יושבי הארץ ההיתה זאת בימיכם ואם בימי אבתיכם׃
- עליה לבניכם ספרו ובניכם לבניהם ובניהם לדור אחר׃
- יתר הגזם אכל הארבה ויתר הארבה אכל הילק ויתר הילק אכל החסיל׃
- הקיצו שכורים ובכו והיללו כל־שתי יין על־עסיס כי נכרת מפיכם׃
- כי־גוי עלה על־ארצי עצום ואין מספר שניו שני אריה ומתלעות לביא לו׃
- שם גפני לשמה ותאנתי לקצפה חשף חשפה והשליך הלבינו שריגיה׃
- אלי כבתולה חגרת־שק על־בעל נעוריה׃
- הכרת מנחה ונסך מבית יהוה אבלו הכהנים משרתי יהוה׃
- שדד שדה אבלה אדמה כי שדד דגן הוביש תירוש אמלל יצהר׃
- הבישו אכרים הילילו כרמים על־חטה ועל־שערה כי אבד קציר שדה׃
- הגפן הובישה והתאנה אמללה רמון גם־תמר ותפוח כל־עצי השדה יבשו כי־הביש ששון מן־בני אדם׃ ס
- חגרו וספדו הכהנים הילילו משרתי מזבח באו לינו בשקים משרתי אלהי כי נמנע מבית אלהיכם מנחה ונסך׃
- קדשו־צום קראו עצרה אספו זקנים כל ישבי הארץ בית יהוה אלהיכם וזעקו אל־יהוה׃
- אהה ליום כי קרוב יום יהוה וכשד משדי יבוא׃
- הלוא נגד עינינו אכל נכרת מבית אלהינו שמחה וגיל׃
- עבשו פרדות תחת מגרפתיהם נשמו אצרות נהרסו ממגרות כי הביש דגן׃
- מה־נאנחה בהמה נבכו עדרי בקר כי אין מרעה להם גם־עדרי הצאן נאשמו׃
- אליך יהוה אקרא כי אש אכלה נאות מדבר ולהבה להטה כל־עצי השדה׃
- גם־בהמות שדה תערוג אליך כי יבשו אפיקי מים ואש אכלה נאות המדבר׃ ף

- Verbum Domini, quod factum est ad Joël, filium Phatuel.
- Audite hoc, senes, et auribus percipite, omnes habitatores terræ : si factum est istud in diebus vestris, aut in diebus patrum vestrorum ?
- Super hoc filiis vestris narrate, et filii vestri filiis suis, et filii eorum generationi alteræ.
- Residuum erucæ comedit locusta, et residuum locustæ comedit bruchus, et residuum bruchi comedit rubigo.
- Expergiscimini, ebrii, et flete et ululate, omnes qui bibitis vinum in dulcedine, quoniam periit ab ore vestro.
- Gens enim ascendit super terram meam, fortis et innumerabilis : dentes ejus ut dentes leonis, et molares ejus ut catuli leonis.
- Posuit vineam meam in desertum, et ficum meam decorticavit ; nudans spoliavit eam, et projecit : albi facti sunt rami ejus.
- Plange quasi virgo accincta sacco super virum pubertatis suæ.
- Periit sacrificium et libatio de domo Domini ; luxerunt sacerdotes, ministri Domini.
- Depopulata est regio, luxit humus, quoniam devastatum est triticum, confusum est vinum, elanguit oleum.
- Confusi sunt agricolæ, ululaverunt vinitores super frumento et hordeo, quia periit messis agri.
- Vinea confusa est, et ficus elanguit ; malogranatum, et palma, et malum, et omnia ligna agri aruerunt, quia confusum est gaudium a filiis hominum.
- Accingite vos, et plangite, sacerdotes : ululate, ministri altaris ; ingredimini, cubate in sacco, ministri Dei mei, quoniam interiit de domo Dei vestri sacrificium et libatio.
- Sanctificate jejunium, vocate cœtum, congregate senes, omnes habitatores terræ in domum Dei vestri, et clamate ad Dominum :
- A, a, a, diei ! quia prope est dies Domini, et quasi vastitas a potente veniet.
- Numquid non coram oculis vestris alimenta perierunt de domo Dei nostri, lætitia et exsultatio ?
- Computruerunt jumenta in stercore suo, demolita sunt horrea, dissipatæ sunt apothecæ, quoniam confusum est triticum.
- Quid ingemuit animal, mugierunt greges armenti ? quia non est pascua eis ; sed et greges pecorum disperierunt.
- Ad te, Domine, clamabo, quia ignis comedit speciosa deserti, et flamma succendit omnia ligna regionis.
- Sed et bestiæ agri, quasi area sitiens imbrem, suspexerunt ad te, quoniam exsiccati sunt fontes aquarum, et ignis devoravit speciosa deserti.
