Yoeli 2:5
Joel 2:5 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Wanatoa sauti kama magari ya vita, wanaporukaruka juu ya vilele vya milima, kama mlio wa miali ya moto ilayo mabua, kama jeshi kubwa lililojipanga kwa ajili ya vita.
Joel 2:5 in English
Joel 2:5 · Berean Standard Bible
With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.
Context
3Mbele yao moto unateketeza,
nyuma yao miali ya moto
inawaka kwa nguvu.
Mbele yao nchi iko kama bustani ya Edeni,
nyuma yao ni jangwa lisilofaa:
hakuna kitu kinachowaepuka. 4Wanaonekana kama farasi;
wanakwenda mbio
kama askari wapanda farasi. 5Wanatoa sauti kama magari ya vita,
wanaporukaruka juu ya vilele vya milima,
kama mlio wa miali ya moto ilayo mabua,
kama jeshi kubwa lililojipanga kwa ajili ya vita. 6Wanapoonekana, mataifa yanakuwa katika maumivu makuu;
kila uso unabadilika rangi. 7Wanashambulia kama wapiganaji wa vita;
wanapanda kuta kama askari.
Wote wanatembea katika safu,
hawapotoshi safu zao.
