Joel 3
1 Te khohnin neh te vaeng tue ah Judah neh Jerusalem thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael puei ni.
"For, look, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 Namtom boeih te ka coi vetih amih Jehoshaphat kol la ka suntlak puei ni. Ka pilnam neh ka rho Israel kongah amih te lai ka soeh thil ni. Namtom taengah a yaal uh tih ka khohmuen he a tael uh dongah.
I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,
3 Ka pilnam ham hmulung a naan uh. Te dongah tongpaca te pumyoi la a paek uh tih hutaca te ok ham la misurtui la a yoih uh.
and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4 Tyre, Sidon neh Philistia saa boeih aw nang neh kai balae benbo? Kai soah aka thuung la na tiing uh nim? Kai he nan thuung uh cakhaw nangmih tiing bangla na lu ah tlek kan thuung paitok ni.
"Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own head.
5 Ka cak neh ka sui na loh uh tih ka ngailaemnah hnothen te na bawkim la na khuen uh.
Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures into your temples,
6 Judah ca rhoek neh Jerusalem ca te Greek ca taengla na yoih uh tih a Khorhi dong lamloh amih te na lakhla sak.
and have sold the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem to the people of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
7 Amih yoih nah hmuen lamloh amih te pahoi ah ka haeng coeng he. Te dongah na thaphu te na lu ah kan thuung ni.
Look, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
8 Na canu na capa rhoek te Judah ca rhoek kut ah ka yoih vetih amih te Sabean taeng neh khohla namtom taengah a yoih uh ni tila BOEIPA loh a thui.
and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it."
9 He he namtom taengah doek uh laeh. Caemtloek te ciim uh laeh. Hlangrhalh rhoek haenghang uh laeh. Thoeih uh saeh lamtah caemtloek hlang boeih te paan uh saeh.
Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
10 Na tuktong te cunghang la, na vin te khaw cai la dae uh. Tattloel long khaw ka, “Hlangrhalh,” ti saeh.
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'
11 Kaepvai lamkah namtom boeih capit uh lamtah paan uh lamtah tingtun uh laeh. BOEIPA aw na hlangrhalh rhoek pahoi ah ael sak laeh.
Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
12 Haenghang saeh lamtah namtom te Jehoshaphat kol la cet uh saeh. Kaepvai kah namtom boeih te laitloek hamla kana ngol ni te.
"Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Cangah ham hmin coeng tih vinkui te tueih uh laeh. Lo uh, misur rhom khaw bae tih taemrhai uh laeh. va-am rhoek a baepet bangla amih kah boethae tah ping coeng.
Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."
14 Oltloeknah tuikol ah tah hlangping la hlangping kak coeng ni. Oltloeknah tuikol ah BOEIPA kah khohnin yoei coeng.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of the LORD is near, in the valley of decision.
15 Khomik neh hla hmuep vetih aisi rhoek loh a aa a hloh ni.
The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
16 BOEIPA tah Zion lamloh kawk tih Jerusalem lamloh a ol a huel. Vaan neh diklai hinghuen dae BOEIPA tah a pilnam ham hlipyingnah neh Israel ca ham lunghim la om.
The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
17 Te dongah nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA kamah he ka cimcaihnah tlang Zion ah kho a sak tila ming uh. Jerusalem he hmuencim la om vetih kholong loh te te koep caehpah mahpawh.
"So you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
18 Te khohnin a pha vaengah tlang kah thingtui cip vetih mol lamkah suktui long ni. Judah sokca boeih te tui long ni. Tuisih te BOEIPA im lamloh phuet vetih Shittim soklong te a suep ni.
It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth from the house of the LORD, and will water the Valley of Shittim.
19 Egypt tah khopong la poeh vetih Edom khaw khosoek khopong la om ni. Judah ca rhoek kuthlahnah loh a khohmuen kah ommongsitoe thii te a long sak.
Egypt will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 Judah tah kumhal duela kho a sak vetih Jerusalem khaw a cadilcahma neh cadilcahma duela om ni.
But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 A thii dongah ka hmil mueh te ka hmil ni. BOEIPA he Zion ah kho a sak.
And I will pardon their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, for the LORD dwells in Zion."
