Joel 3
1 Te khohnin neh te vaeng tue ah Judah neh Jerusalem thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael puei ni.
FOR, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity 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 also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted 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 they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might 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.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5 Ka cak neh ka sui na loh uh tih ka ngailaemnah hnothen te na bawkim la na khuen uh.
Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 Judah ca rhoek neh Jerusalem ca te Greek ca taengla na yoih uh tih a Khorhi dong lamloh amih te na lakhla sak.
The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might 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.
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon 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 hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the Lord hath 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 ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war 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 pruninghooks 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.
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O 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 heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
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 ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats 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 shall be darkened, and the stars shall 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 also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the Lord will be the hope of his people, and the strength of 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 shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers 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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall 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 shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children 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 shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 A thii dongah ka hmil mueh te ka hmil ni. BOEIPA he Zion ah kho a sak.
For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion.
