Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ² It is a day of darkness and of gloom, a day of clouds and of tempestuous obscurity, like the morning-dawn spread out upon the mountains: a people numerous and strong, the like of which hath never been and after it there will be none any more, even to the years of all coming generations. ³ Before it devoureth a fire; and behind it singeth a flame: like the garden of ‘Eden was the land before it came, and after it is a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth from it. ⁴ Like the appearance of horses is its appearance; and like horsemen, so do they run. ⁵ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains do they leap; they are like the noise of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, as a strong people arrayed for a battle. ⁶ At its presence the people are much pained: all the faces are covered with blackness. ⁷ Like mighty men do they run; like men of war they climb up a wall; and they march every one on his own ways, and they turn not aside on their paths. ⁸ And they do not press one another; every one on his beaten track do they go forward: and they pass through between war-like weapons, and change not their purpose. ⁹ Into the city they hasten forward; on the wall they run; into the houses they climb up; through the windows they make their entrance like a thief. ¹⁰ Before them trembleth the earth; the heavens quake; the sun and the moon are obscured, and the stars withdraw their brightness. ¹¹ And the Lord uttereth his voice before his army; for very numerous is his camp; for strong is he that executeth his word; for great is the day of the Lord and very terrible; and who is able to endure it?

YLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ² 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. ³ 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, ⁴ As the appearance of horses is its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run. ⁵ 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. ⁶ From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered paleness. ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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. ⁹ 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. ¹⁰ At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining. ¹¹ 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?

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as the dawn spreads upon the mountains, a great people and a strong, there has not been the like, everlasting, nor will be any more after them, even to the years of generations to generations.
³ A fire devours before them and behind them a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them and behind them a desolate wilderness. Yes and none has escaped them.
⁴ The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses and as horsemen, so do they run. ⁵ They leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. ⁶ At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have grown pale.
⁷ They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like men of war and they march each one on his ways. And they do not break their ranks. ⁸ Neither does one push another. They march each one in his path and they burst through the weapons and do not break off. ⁹ They leap upon the city. They run upon the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like a thief. ¹⁰ The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining.
¹¹ And Jehovah utters his voice before his army, for his camp is very great. For he is strong who executes his word. For the day of Jehovah is great and very fearful and who can abide it?

VIN⁽ⁱ⁾ ² A day of darkness and gloom, a day of cloud and thick darkness, like the dawn spreads on the mountains, a great and strong army! There has been nothing like it from old, and after it nothing will be again for generations to come. ³ A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame blazeth; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth them. ⁴ Their form is like the form of horses, and they are running like war-horses. ⁵ 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. ⁶ Before them the peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale. ⁷ They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don't swerve off course. ⁸ "They do not crowd each other. They march every one in his path. They burst through the weapons and do not break ranks. ⁹ "They rush to the city. They run on the wall. They climb into the houses. They enter in at the windows like a thief. ¹⁰ Before them the earth quaketh, the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining. ¹¹ The LORD thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?

Comme l'aube du jour s'étend sur les montagnes, ainsi s'étend un peuple grand et puissant, auquel il n'y a point eu de semblable de tout temps, et après lequel il n'y en aura point de semblable dans la suite des siècles. ³ Le feu dévore devant sa face, et derrière lui la flamme brûle; le pays était avant sa venue comme le jardin d'Héden; et après qu'il sera parti il sera comme un désert de désolation; et même il n'y aura rien qui lui échappe. ⁴ C'est, à le voir, comme si on voyait des chevaux, et ils courront comme des gens de cheval; ⁵ Et ils sauteront menant un bruit semblable à celui des chariots sur les sommets des montagnes, et au bruit d'une flamme de feu, qui dévore du chaume; et ils seront comme un peuple puissant rangé en bataille. ⁶ Les peuples trembleront en le voyant; tous les visages en deviendront pâles et livides. ⁷ Ils courront comme des gens vaillants, et monteront sur la muraille comme des gens de guerre; ils marcheront chacun en son rang, et ne se détourneront point de leurs chemins. ⁸ L'un ne pressera point l'autre, mais chacun marchera dans son chemin, ils se jetteront au travers des épées, et ne seront point blessés. ⁹ Ils iront çà et là par la ville, ils courront sur la muraille, ils monteront sur les maisons, ils entreront par les fenêtres comme le larron. ¹⁰ La terre tremblera devant lui, les cieux seront ébranlés, le soleil et la lune seront obscurcis, et les étoiles retireront leur lueur. ¹¹ Aussi l'Eternel fera entendre sa voix devant son armée, parce que son camp sera très-grand; car l'exécuteur de sa parole sera puissant; certainement la journée de l'Eternel est grande et terrible; et qui la pourra soutenir ?

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Jour de ténèbres et d'obscurité, Jour de nuées et de brouillards, Il vient comme l'aurore se répand sur les montagnes. Voici un peuple nombreux et puissant, Tel qu'il n'y en a jamais eu, Et qu'il n'y en aura jamais dans la suite des âges. ³ Devant lui est un feu dévorant, Et derrière lui une flamme brûlante; Le pays était auparavant comme un jardin d'Eden, Et depuis, c'est un désert affreux: Rien ne lui échappe. ⁴ A les voir, on dirait des chevaux, Et ils courent comme des cavaliers. ⁵ A les entendre, on dirait un bruit de chars Sur le sommet des montagnes où ils bondissent, On dirait un pétillement de la flamme du feu, Quand elle consume le chaume. C'est comme une armée puissante Qui se prépare au combat. ⁶ Devant eux les peuples tremblent, Tous les visages pâlissent. ⁷ Ils s'élancent comme des guerriers, Ils escaladent les murs comme des gens de guerre; Chacun va son chemin, Sans s'écarter de sa route. ⁸ Ils ne se pressent point les uns les autres, Chacun garde son rang; Ils se précipitent au travers des traits Sans arrêter leur marche. ⁹ Ils se répandent dans la ville, Courent sur les murailles, Montent sur les maisons, Entrent par les fenêtres comme un voleur. ¹⁰ Devant eux la terre tremble, Les cieux sont ébranlés, Le soleil et la lune s'obscurcissent, Et les étoiles retirent leur éclat. ¹¹ L'Eternel fait entendre sa voix devant son armée; Car son camp est immense, Et l'exécuteur de sa parole est puissant; Car le jour de l'Eternel est grand, il est terrible: Qui pourra le soutenir?

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² po vjen dita e territ dhe e errësirës së dendur, ditë resh dhe mjegulle. Ashtu si përhapet agimi mbi malet, po vjen një popull i shumtë dhe i fuqishëm, të cilit kurrkush nuk i ka ngjarë më parë dhe as nuk do të ketë më kurrë për shumë breza që do të vijnë. ³ Para tij një zjarr po gllabëron dhe pas tij një flakë po djeg. Përpara tij vendi është si kopshti i Edenit; dhe pas tij është si një shkretëtirë e mjeruar; po, asgjë nuk i shpëton atij. ⁴ Pamja e tyre është si pamja e kuajve, dhe rendin si kuaj të shpejtë. ⁵ Ata hidhen mbi majat e maleve me zhurmë qerresh, si brambullima e flakës së zjarrit që djeg kallamishtet, si një popull i fortë që është rreshtuar për betejë. ⁶ Përpara tyre popujt përpëliten nga dhembja, çdo fytyrë zbehet. ⁷ Rendin si njerëz trima, ngjiten mbi muret si luftëtarë; secili ndjek rrugën e vet pa devijuar prej saj. ⁸ Askush nuk e shtyn fqinjin e tij, secili ndjek shtegun e vet; sulen në mes të shigjetave, por nuk plagosen. ⁹ I bien qytetit kryq e tërthor, rendin mbi muret, ngjiten në shtëpi, hyjnë në to nga dritaret si vjedhës. ¹⁰ Para tyre dridhet toka, dridhen qiejt, dielli dhe hëna erren dhe yjet humbin shkëlqimin e tyre. ¹¹ Zoti bën që t'i dëgjohet zëri para ushtrisë së tij, sepse fusha e tij është shumë madhe dhe zbatuesi i fjalës së tij është i fuqishëm.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ² день тьмы и мрака, день облачный и туманный: как утренняя заря распространяется по горам народ многочисленный и сильный, какого не бывало от века и после того не будет в роды родов. ³ Перед ним пожирает огонь, а за ним палит пламя; перед ним земля как сад Едемский, а позади него будет опустошенная степь, и никому не будет спасения от него. ⁴ Вид его как вид коней, и скачут они как всадники; ⁵ скачут по вершинам гор как бы со стуком колесниц, как бы с треском огненного пламени, пожирающего солому, как сильный народ, выстроенный к битве. ⁶ При виде его затрепещут народы, у всех лица побледнеют. ⁷ Как борцы бегут они и как храбрые воины влезают на стену, и каждый идет своею дорогою, и не сбивается с путей своих. ⁸ Не давят друг друга, каждый идет своею стезею, и падают на копья, но остаются невредимы. ⁹ Бегают по городу, поднимаются на стены, влезают на дома, входят в окна, как вор. ¹⁰ Перед ними потрясется земля, поколеблется небо; солнце и луна помрачатся, и звезды потеряют свой свет. ¹¹ И Господь даст глас Свой пред воинством Своим, ибо весьма многочисленно полчище Его и могуществен исполнитель слова Его; ибо велик день Господеньи весьма страшен, и кто выдержит его?

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² ден на тъмнина и мрак, ден на облаци и гъста тъмнина. Като зората се разпростира по планините голям и силен народ. Като него не е имало от века и след него няма повече да има за годините на много поколения. ³ Огън пояжда пред него и пламък изгаря след него; пред него земята е като Едемската градина, а след него — гола пустиня; и никой няма да избегне от него. ⁴ Видът им е като вида на коне и тичат като конници. ⁵ Като тропот на колесници подскачат по върховете на хълмовете, като пращене на огнен пламък, който пояжда тръстика, като силен народ, строен за бой. ⁶ Пред тях племената се гърчат, всичките лица побледняват. ⁷ Те тичат като силни мъже, като воини се изкачват по стената и всеки ходи в пътя си, без да сменят редовете си. ⁸ Не се блъскат един друг, вървят всеки по пътеката си и падат около оръжията, но не се нараняват. ⁹ Тичат из града, бягат по стената, качват се по къщите, влизат през прозорците като крадци. ¹⁰ Земята се тресе пред тях, небето трепери, слънцето и луната потъмняват и звездите задържат блясъка си. ¹¹ И ГОСПОД надава гласа Си пред войската Си, защото станът Му е много голям, защото е силен Онзи, който изпълнява словото Си, защото Денят на ГОСПОДА е велик и много страшен, и кой може да му устои?

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Dan pun mraka i tmine, dan oblačan i crn. K'o zora po gorama se prostire narod jak i mnogobrojan, kakva ne bje nikad prije, niti će ga igda biti do vremena najdaljih. ³ Pred njim oganj proždire, za njim plamen guta. Zemlja je k'o vrt rajski pred njim, a za njim pustinja tužna. Ništa mu ne umiče. ⁴ Nalik su na konje, jure poput konjanika. ⁵ Buče kao bojna kola, po gorskim vrhuncima skaču, pucketaju k'o plamen ognjeni kad strnjiku proždire, kao vojska jaka u bojnome redu. ⁶ Pred njima narodi dršću i svako lice problijedi. ⁷ Skaču k'o junaci, k'o ratnici se na zidove penju. Svaki ide pravo naprijed, ne odstupa od svog puta. ⁸ Ne tiskaju jedan drugog, već svak' ide svojom stazom. Padaju od strijela ne kidajuć' redova. ⁹ Na grad navaljuju, na zidine skaču, penju se na kuće i kroz okna ulaze poput lupeža. ¹⁰ Pred njima se zemlja trese, nebo podrhtava, sunce, mjesec mrčaju, zvijezdama se trne sjaj. ¹¹ I Jahve glas svoj šalje pred vojsku svoju. I odista, tabor mu je silno velik, zapovijedi njegove moćan izvršitelj. Da, velik je Jahvin dan i vrlo strašan. Tko će ga podnijeti?

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ² Den temnosti a mračna, den oblaku a mrákoty, jako záře jitřní rozprostřená po horách: Lid mnohý a silný, jemuž rovného nebylo od věků, aniž po něm kdy bude až do let národů i pronárodů. ³ Před tváří jeho oheň zžírati bude, a za ním plamen plápolati; před ním země tato jako zahrada Eden, ale po něm bude poušť přehrozná, a aniž bude, což by ušlo před ním. ⁴ Způsob jeho bude jako způsob koní, a jako jízdní, tak poběhnou. ⁵ Jako s hřmotem vozů po vrších hor skákati budou, jako hluk plamene ohně zžírajícího strniště, jako lid silný zšikovaný k bitvě. ⁶ Tváři jeho děsiti se budou lidé, všecky tváře zčernají jako hrnec. ⁷ Jako rekové poběhnou, jako muži váleční vstoupí na zed, a jeden každý cestou svou půjde, aniž se uchýlí z stezek svých. ⁸ Jeden druhého nebude tlačiti, každý silnicí svou půjde, a byť i na meč upadli, nebudou raněni. ⁹ Po městě těkati budou, po zdech běhati, na domy vstupovati, a okny polezou jako zloděj. ¹⁰ Před tváří jeho třásti se bude země, pohnou se nebesa, slunce i měsíc se zatmí, a hvězdy potratí blesk svůj. ¹¹ Hospodin pak sám vydá hlas svůj před vojskem svým, proto že velmi veliký bude tábor jeho, proto že silný ten, kdož vykoná slovo jeho. (Nebo veliký bude den Hospodinův a hrozný náramně), i kdož jej bude moci snésti?

Jokainen kulkee tietänsä suoraan, ei mutkittele polullansa. ⁸ Toinen ei sysi toistansa: jokainen kulkee omaa suuntaansa.

Mereka berbaris seperti pasukan perkasa, yang siap maju ke medan laga. ⁶ Waktu mereka menyerbu, semua orang gentar, semua wajah menjadi pucat dan pudar. ⁷ Seperti pahlawan, mereka menyerang, dan mendaki tembok seperti pejuang. Mereka berbaris lurus ke depan, tanpa membelok atau mengubah haluan. ⁸ Mereka tidak berdesak-desakan, di jalurnya sendiri mereka berjalan. Beramai-ramai mereka dobrak segala pertahanan, tak dapat barisan mereka dihentikan. ⁹ Mereka menyerbu ke dalam kota, dan berlari di atas temboknya. Mereka memanjat ke dalam rumah-rumah; seperti pencuri, mereka masuk lewat jendela. ¹⁰ Sedang mereka maju, bumi gemetar, dan langit pun bergetar. Lalu gelaplah matahari dan bulan, dan cahaya bintang-bintang menghilang. ¹¹ Suara TUHAN mengguntur, memberi aba-aba, kepada angkatan perangnya. Betapa besar jumlah laskarnya! Betapa kuat tentara yang melaksanakan perintah-Nya! Sungguh dahsyat dan hebat Hari TUHAN! Tak seorang pun dapat bertahan.
