23 Be glad, people of Zion,

rejoice in the Lord your God,

for he has given you the autumn rains

because he is faithful.

He sends you abundant showers,

both autumn and spring rains, as before.

24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;

the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten—

the great locust and the young locust,

the other locusts and the locust swarm—

my great army that I sent among you.

23 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.

24 And the floors shall be full of wheat,

And the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

25 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.

23 Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem!

Rejoice in the Lord your God!

For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness.

Once more the autumn rains will come,

as well as the rains of spring.

24 The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain,

and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

25 The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost

to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts,

the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.

It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.

23 Be glad then, you children of Zion,

And rejoice in the Lord your God;

For He has given you the former rain faithfully,

And He will cause the rain to come down for you—

The former rain,

And the latter rain in the first month.

24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,

And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten,

The crawling locust,

The consuming locust,

And the chewing locust,

My great army which I sent among you.

23 So be happy, people of Jerusalem;

be joyful in the Lord your God.

Because he does what is right,

he has brought you rain;

he has sent the fall rain

and the spring rain for you, as before.

24 And the threshing floors will be full of grain;

the barrels will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

25 “Though I sent my great army against you—

those swarming locusts and hopping locusts,

the destroying locusts and the cutting locusts that ate your crops—

I will pay you back

for those years of trouble.

23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you.

23 And ye, children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the early rain in due measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the early rain, and the latter rain at the beginning of the season. 24 And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you.

23 People of Zion, be glad and find joy in the Lord your God. 

The Lord has given you the Teacher of Righteousness.

He has sent the autumn rain and the spring rain as before. 

24 The threshing floorswill be filled with grain. 

The vats will overflow with new wine and olive oil. 

25 “Then I will repay you for the years 

that the mature locusts, the adult locusts, 

the grasshoppers, and the young locusts ate your crops. 

(They are the large army that I sent against you.) 

23 Children of Zion, rejoice and be glad

in the Lord your God,

because He gives you the autumn rain

for your vindication.

He sends showers for you,

both autumn and spring rain as before.

24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,

and the vats will overflow

with new wine and olive oil.

25 I will repay you for the years

that the swarming locust ate,

the young locust, the destroying locust,

and the devouring locust—

My great army that I sent against you.

23 O children of Zion, be glad

and rejoice in the Lord your God;

for he has given the early rain for your vindication,

he has poured down for you abundant rain,

the early and the later rain, as before.

24 The threshing floors shall be full of grain,

the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

25 I will repay you for the years

that the swarming locust has eaten,

the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,

my great army, which I sent against you.

23 Be glad, O children of Zion,

be glad and rejoice in Yahweh your God,

because he has given for you

the autumn rains for your righteousness,

and he has poured down for you rainwater,

the autumn and spring rains, as before.

24 The threshing floors will be full with grain,

and the vats will overflow

with new wine and olive oil.

25 I will repay you the years

that the locust has eaten,

the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter,

my mighty troops that I sent against you.

23 People of Zion, be glad.

Be joyful because of what the Lord your God has done.

He has given you the right amount of rain in the fall.

He has sent you plenty of showers.

He has sent fall and spring rains alike,

just as he did before.

24 Your threshing floors will be covered with grain.

Olive oil and fresh wine will spill over

from the places where they are stored.

25 The Lord says,

“I sent a great army of locusts to attack you.

They included common locusts, giant locusts,

young locusts and other locusts.

I will make up for the years

they ate your crops.

23 So rejoice, O sons of Zion,

And be glad in the Lord your God;

For He has given you the early rain for your vindication.

And He has poured down for you the rain,

The early and latter rain as before.

24 The threshing floors will be full of grain,

And the vats will overflow with the new wine and oil.

25 “Then I will make up to 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.
