Joe 1, 1-20

1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel. 2 Listen to this, elders, and pay close attention, all inhabitants of the land. Did this ever happen in your days or in the days of your fathers? 3 Talk this over with your sons, and your sons with their sons, and their sons with another generation. 4 The locust has eaten what the caterpillar has left, and the beetle has eaten what the locust has left, and the mildew has eaten what the beetle has left. 5 Rouse yourselves, you drunkards, and weep and wail, all you who delight in drinking wine; for it has been cut off from your mouth. 6 For a nation has ascended over my land: strong and without number. His teeth are like the teeth of a lion, and his molars are like that of a lion’s young. 7 He has put my vineyard into desolation, and he has pulled off the bark of my fig tree. He has stripped it bare and cast it away; its branches have become white. 8 Lament like a betrothed virgin, wrapped in sackcloth at the loss of the husband of her youth. 9 Sacrifice and libation have perished from the house of the Lord; the priests who are ministers of the Lord have mourned. 10 The region has been depopulated, the soil has mourned. For the wheat has been devastated, the wine has been disfigured, the oil has languished. 11 The farmers have been confounded, the vineyard workers have wailed over the crop and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished. 12 The vineyard is in ruin, and the fig tree has languished. The pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the fruit tree, and all the trees of the field have withered. For joy has been thrown into disorder before the sons of men. 13 Priests, gird yourselves and lament. Ministers of the altars, wail. Enter, ministers of my God, lie in sackcloth. For sacrifice and libation have passed away from the house of your God. 14 Sanctify a fast, call an assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of your God. And cry out to the Lord: 15 “Ah, ah, ah, the day!” For the day of the Lord is near, and it will arrive, like a devastation, before the powerful. 16 Has not your nourishment perished from before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17 The mules have rotted in their own manure, the barns have been demolished, the wine cellars have been destroyed, because the grain has been ruined. 18 Why have the animals groaned, the herds of cattle bellowed? because there is no pasture for them. Yes, and even the flocks of sheep have been lost. 19 To you, O Lord, I will cry out, because fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the countryside. 20 Yes, and even the beasts of the field have gazed up at you, like the dry ground thirsting for rain, because the fountains of waters have dried up, and fire has devoured the beauty of the wilderness.

Joel 1,1 - O Joelovi a Fatuelovi pozri úvod k tomuto prorokovi.

Joel 1,4 - Rezáč, kobylka, skokan a ničiteľ sú len rozličné básnické názvy ázijských sťahovavých kobyliek. Tieto bývajú z času na čas podnes pohromou východných krajín. Lietajú v neuveriteľne veľkých množstvách, ako celé oblaky, ktoré zatemnia aj slnko. Kde zosadnú, vyžerú všetku zeleň, potom letia ďalej. Z opisu proroka Joela, ináč veľmi živého, nemožno zistiť, či hovorí o skutočnej pohrome kobyliek a či kobylkami len zvýrazňuje nepriateľské vojsko.

Joel 1,6-12 - Prorok povzbudzuje izraelský národ k pokániu a stavia mu pred oči tresty, ktoré ho očakávajú pre jeho hriešnosť. Robí to pod rozličnými obrazmi: opisuje nepriateľa, hynúcu vinicu a figovníky, žiaľ panny nad stratou muža jej mladosti atď.

Joel 1,8 - Hoci dievča po zasnúbení ostávalo ešte pannou v rodičovskom dome, zákon ju už pokladal za ženíchovu manželku. Ak zomrel, oplakávala ho ako muža.

Joel 1,9-10 - Pri pokrmových a nápojových obetách sa obetoval chlieb, víno a olivový olej. Keď ich nebolo, nemohli sa konať ani obety.

Joel 1,13 - "Opášte sa!" – totiž kajúcim rúchom.

Joel 1,14 - Zbor ľudu má pôstom a modlitbou odprosovať Pána.

Joel 1,15 - Deň Pána je deň, keď Boh súdi a tresce zem. – Porov. Iz 2,12; 13,6.9.

Joel 1,17 - Začiatok verša je neistý.

Joel 1,19 - K pohrome kobyliek sa druží suchota, takže pole vyzerá ako po požiari.
