TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:10 The quaking of the earth and the heavens is a typical sign of theophany, an appearance of God (see Exod 19:16-19; Isa 13:13; Nah 1:5-6). The darkening of the sun and moon symbolizes divine judgment (Isa 13:9-11).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

לְ⁠פָנָי⁠ו֙ רָ֣גְזָה אֶ֔רֶץ רָעֲשׁ֖וּ שָׁמָ֑יִם

before,face/front,them quakes earth/land tremble heavens

Joel is speaking as if the locust swarm were so powerful that it was causing the earth to shake and the heavens to tremble. He means that the locusts make such a loud sound and cause such vibration that it seems like this is happening. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [They make such a loud sound and cause such vibration that it is as if the earth is shaking and the heavens are trembling]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

שֶׁ֤מֶשׁ וְ⁠יָרֵ֨חַ֙ קָדָ֔רוּ

sun and,moon grow_dark

Joel is speaking as if the sun and the moon had literally become dark. He means that the locust swarm is blocking their light. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the locust swarm blocks the light of the sun and moon]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠כוֹכָבִ֖ים אָסְפ֥וּ נָגְהָֽ⁠ם

and,stars withdraw shining_of,their

Joel is speaking of the stars as if they were living things that could withdraw their brightness. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the light of the stars is no longer visible]
