The Terrible Visitation
1Tiuplah sangkakala di Sion dan berteriaklah di gunung-Ku yang kudus ! Biarlah gemetar seluruh penduduk negeri, sebab hari TUHAN datang, sebab hari itu sudah dekat; 2suatu hari gelap gulita dan kelam kabut, suatu hari berawan dan kelam pekat; seperti fajar di atas gunung-gunung terbentang suatu bangsa yang banyak dan kuat, yang serupa itu tidak pernah ada sejak purbakala, dan tidak akan ada lagi sesudah itu turun-temurun, pada masa yang akan datang. 3Di depannya api memakan habis, di belakangnya nyala api berkobar. Tanah di depannya seperti Taman Eden, tetapi di belakangnya padang gurun tandus, dan sama sekali tidak ada yang dapat luput. 4Rupanya seperti kuda, dan seperti kuda balapan mereka berlari. 5Seperti gemertaknya kereta-kereta, mereka melompat-lompat di atas puncak gunung-gunung; seperti geletiknya nyala api yang memakan habis jerami; seperti suatu bangsa yang kuat, teratur barisannya untuk berperang. 6Terhadapnya bangsa-bangsa gemetar, segala muka bertambah menjadi pucat pasi. 7Seperti pahlawan mereka berlari, seperti prajurit mereka naik tembok; dan mereka masing-masing berjalan terus dengan tidak membelok dari jalannya; 8mereka tidak berdesak-desakan, mereka berjalan terus masing-masing di jalannya; mereka menerobos pertahanan dengan tombak, mereka tidak membiarkan barisannya terputus. 9Mereka menyerbu ke dalam kota, mereka berlari ke atas tembok, mereka memanjat ke dalam rumah-rumah, mereka masuk melalui jendela-jendela seperti pencuri. 10Di depannya bumi gemetar, langit bergoncang; matahari dan bulan menjadi gelap, dan bintang-bintang menghilangkan cahayanya. 11Dan TUHAN memperdengarkan suara-Nya di depan tentara-Nya. Pasukan-Nya sangat banyak dan pelaksana firman-Nya kuat. Betapa hebat dan sangat dahsyat hari TUHAN ! Siapakah yang dapat menahannya ? 12"Tetapi sekarang juga," demikianlah firman TUHAN, "berbaliklah kepada-Ku dengan segenap hatimu, dengan berpuasa, dengan menangis dan dengan mengaduh." 13Koyakkanlah hatimu dan jangan pakaianmu, berbaliklah kepada TUHAN, Allahmu, sebab Ia pengasih dan penyayang, panjang sabar dan berlimpah kasih setia, dan Ia menyesal karena hukuman-Nya. 14Siapa tahu, mungkin Ia mau berbalik dan menyesal, dan ditinggalkan-Nya berkat, menjadi korban sajian dan korban curahan bagi TUHAN, Allahmu. 15Tiuplah sangkakala di Sion, adakanlah puasa yang kudus, maklumkanlah perkumpulan raya; 16kumpulkanlah bangsa ini, kuduskanlah jemaah, himpunkanlah orang-orang yang tua, kumpulkanlah anak-anak, bahkan anak-anak yang menyusu; baiklah penganten laki-laki keluar dari kamarnya, dan penganten perempuan dari kamar tidurnya; 17baiklah para imam, pelayan-pelayan TUHAN, menangis di antara balai depan dan mezbah, dan berkata: "Sayangilah, ya TUHAN, umat-Mu, dan janganlah biarkan milik-Mu sendiri menjadi cela, sehingga bangsa-bangsa menyindir kepada mereka. Mengapa orang berkata di antara bangsa: Di mana Allah mereka?"
1Blow a trumpet in Zion,
And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
For the day of the LORD is coming;
Indeed, it is near, 2A day of darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a great and mighty people;
There has never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
To the years of many generations. 3A fire consumes before them,
And behind them a flame devours.
The land is like the Garden of Eden before them,
But a desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them. 4Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like war horses, so they run. 5With a noise as of chariots
They leap about on the tops of the mountains,
Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble,
Like a mighty people drawn up for battle. 6Before them the people are in anguish;
All faces turn pale. 7They run like warriors,
They climb the wall like soldiers;
And each of them marches in line,
Nor do they lose their way. 8They do not crowd each other,
Every warrior of them marches in his path;
When they burst through the defenses,
They do not break ranks. 9They storm the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter through the windows like a thief. 10Before them the earth quakes,
The heavens tremble,
The sun and the moon become dark,
And the stars lose their brightness. 11The LORD utters His voice before His army;
His camp is indeed very great,
For mighty is one who carries out His word.
The day of the LORD is indeed great and very awesome,
And who can endure it? 12“Yet even now,” declares the LORD,
“Return to Me with all your heart,
And with fasting, weeping, and mourning; 13And tear your heart and not merely your garments.”
Now return to the LORD your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in mercy
And relenting of catastrophe. 14Who knows, He might turn and relent,
And leave a blessing behind Him,
Resulting in a grain offering and a drink offering
For the LORD your God. 15Blow a trumpet in Zion,
Consecrate a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, 16Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,
Assemble the elders,
Gather the children and the nursing infants.
Have the groom come out of his room
And the bride out of her bridal chamber. 17Let the priests, the LORD’S ministers,
Weep between the porch and the altar,
And let them say, “Spare Your people, LORD,
And do not make Your inheritance a disgrace,
With the nations jeering at them.
Why should those among the peoples say,
‘Where is their God?’”
And sound an alarm on My holy mountain!

Deliverance Promised
18TUHAN menjadi cemburu karena tanah-Nya, dan Ia belas kasihan kepada umat-Nya. 19TUHAN menjawab, kata-Nya kepada umat-Nya: "Sesungguhnya, Aku akan mengirim kepadamu gandum, anggur dan minyak, dan kamu akan kenyang memakannya; Aku tidak akan menyerahkan kamu lagi menjadi cela di antara bangsa-bangsa. 20Yang datang dari utara itu akan Kujauhkan dari padamu, dan akan Kuusir ke suatu negeri kering dan tandus, barisan mukanya ke laut timur, dan barisan belakangnya ke laut barat, maka bau busuknya dan bau anyirnya akan naik, sebab ia telah melakukan perkara yang besar.
18Then the LORD will be zealous for His land,
And will have compassion for His people. 19The LORD will answer and say to His people,
“Behold, I am going to send you grain, new wine, and oil,
And you will be satisfied in full with them;
And I will never again make you a disgrace among the nations. 20“But I will remove the northern army far from you,
And I will drive it into a dry and desolate land,
Its advance guard into the eastern sea,
And its rear guard into the western sea.
And its stench will ascend and its odor of decay will come up,
Because it has done great things.”
And will have compassion for His people. 19The LORD will answer and say to His people,

Because it has done great things.”
21Jangan takut, hai tanah, bersorak-soraklah dan bersukacitalah, sebab juga TUHAN telah melakukan perkara yang besar ! 22Jangan takut, hai binatang-binatang di padang, sebab tanah gembalaan di padang gurun menghijau, pohon menghasilkan buahnya, pohon ara dan pohon anggur memberi kekayaannya. 23Hai bani Sion, bersorak-soraklah dan bersukacitalah karena TUHAN, Allahmu ! Sebab telah diberikan-Nya kepadamu hujan pada awal musim dengan adilnya, dan diturunkan-Nya kepadamu hujan, hujan pada awal dan hujan pada akhir musim seperti dahulu. 24Tempat-tempat pengirikan menjadi penuh dengan gandum, dan tempat pemerasan kelimpahan anggur dan minyak. 25Aku akan memulihkan kepadamu tahun-tahun yang hasilnya dimakan habis oleh belalang pindahan, belalang pelompat, belalang pelahap dan belalang pengerip, tentara-Ku yang besar yang Kukirim ke antara kamu. 26Maka kamu akan makan banyak-banyak dan menjadi kenyang, dan kamu akan memuji-muji nama TUHAN, Allahmu, yang telah memperlakukan kamu dengan ajaib; dan umat-Ku tidak akan menjadi malu lagi untuk selama-lamanya. 27Kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Aku ini ada di antara orang Israel, dan bahwa Aku ini, TUHAN, adalah Allahmu dan tidak ada yang lain; dan umat-Ku tidak akan menjadi malu lagi untuk selama-lamanya."
21Do not fear, land; shout for joy and rejoice,
For the LORD has done great things. 22Do not fear, animals of the field,
For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has produced its fruit,
The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full. 23So shout for joy, you sons of Zion,
And rejoice in the LORD your God;
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
And He has brought down for you the rain,
The early and latter rain as before. 24The threshing floors will be full of grain,
And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. 25“Then I will compensate you for the years
That the swarming locust has eaten,
The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust—
My great army which I sent among you. 26“You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied,
And you will praise the name of the LORD your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
Then My people will never be put to shame. 27“So you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,
And that I am the LORD your God
And there is no other;
And My people will never be put to shame.
For the LORD has done great things. 22Do not fear, animals of the field,
For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,
For the tree has produced its fruit,
The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full. 23So shout for joy, you sons of Zion,
And rejoice in the LORD your God;
For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.
And He has brought down for you the rain,
The early and latter rain as before. 24The threshing floors will be full of grain,
And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil. 25“Then I will compensate you for the years

The creeping locust, the stripping locust, and the gnawing locust—
My great army which I sent among you. 26“You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied,
And you will praise the name of the LORD your God,
Who has dealt wondrously with you;
Then My people will never be put to shame. 27“So you will know that I am in the midst of Israel,
And that I am the LORD your God
And there is no other;
And My people will never be put to shame.
The Promise of the Spirit
The Day of the LORD
28"Kemudian dari pada itu akan terjadi, bahwa Aku akan mencurahkan Roh-Ku ke atas semua manusia, maka anak-anakmu laki-laki dan perempuan akan bernubuat; orang-orangmu yang tua akan mendapat mimpi, teruna-terunamu akan mendapat penglihatan-penglihatan. 29Juga ke atas hamba-hambamu laki-laki dan perempuan akan Kucurahkan Roh-Ku pada hari-hari itu. 30Aku akan mengadakan mujizat-mujizat di langit dan di bumi: darah dan api dan gumpalan-gumpalan asap. 31Matahari akan berubah menjadi gelap gulita dan bulan menjadi darah sebelum datangnya hari TUHAN yang hebat dan dahsyat itu. 32Dan barangsiapa yang berseru kepada nama TUHAN akan diselamatkan, sebab di gunung Sion dan di Yerusalem akan ada keselamatan, seperti yang telah difirmankan TUHAN; dan setiap orang yang dipanggil TUHAN akan termasuk orang-orang yang terlepas."
28“It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will have dreams,
Your young men will see visions. 29“And even on the male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30“I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth,
Blood, fire, and columns of smoke. 31“The sun will be turned into darkness,
And the moon into blood,
Before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32“And it will come about that everyone who calls on the name of the LORD
Will be saved;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
Just as the LORD has said,
Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and your daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will have dreams,
Your young men will see visions. 29“And even on the male and female servants

Blood, fire, and columns of smoke. 31“The sun will be turned into darkness,

Will be saved;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
There will be those who escape,
Just as the LORD has said,
Even among the survivors whom the LORD calls.
