Joel 2
1 Tumging tothon Jerusalema samun, kalhang theng chunga, galkon dingin awthongin samun, mijouse kichan kitihot lhulsoh keijuhen, ajeh chu Pakai nikho chu ichunguvah ahung lhung tai.
Sound the trumpet in Sion, make a proclamation in my holy mountain, and let all the inhabitants of the land be confounded: for the day of the Lord is near;
2 Hiche hi muthim lhangkhal kiheh nikho, meibol satah leh vomletlut jeng. Hetman louvin, molsang dung jousea chun galmi nasatah leh thaneitah ahung konun, hitobang hi tumasang’a ana um khalou, umjong hung umkitlou ding ahi.
for a day of darkness and gloominess is near, a day of cloud and mist: a numerous and strong people shall be spread upon the mountains as the morning; there has not been from the beginning one like it, and after it there shall not be again even to the years of many generations.
3 Amasang’u meiyin akachaiyin, anung sang’u meikongin aleo velvullun, amasang’u Eden honsung abangin, anung lamu vang imacha umlou ahomkeo ahi.
Before them is a consuming fire, and behind them is a flame kindled: the land before them is as a paradise of delight, and behind them a desolate plain: and there shall none of them escape.
4 Aum dan’u Sakolte abangun, sakol galsat bangin amalama alhai lhai jengun,
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
5 Ahu sanletlut jengun, sakol kangtalai tampi gin abangin, molsanglai jousea alhuh lhuhin akijamun, mei’in changpol akahgin bangin apoh chet chutin, galmuna pong dinga kigoltoh sepaite thahattah tobang ahiuve.
As the sound of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, and as the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble, and as a numerous and strong people setting themselves in array for battle.
6 Mipite jouse akicha gamtauvin ahi, amai nguisoh keijun, aki tihot hot gamtauve.
Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a cauldron.
7 Gal hangtah bangin adalkhum khum jenguvin, Sepaite bangin paldung jouse atom lhahdeh jengun ahi.
As warriors shall they run, and as men of war shall they mount on the walls; and each shall move in his [right] path, and they shall not turn aside from their tracks:
8 Khat le khat jong akinehto pouve. Ajotna ding lampi cheh a jangpetin acheuve. Itobang umjong leh chehchao louvin ajotpai pai jengun ahi.
and not one shall stand aloof from his brother: they shall go on weighed down with their arms, and they fall upon their weapons, yet shall they in no wise be destroyed.
9 Khopi jengjong atomchah sohkeijun, paldung jousea avahcheh sohkeijun, insung jousea alutsohkeijun, gucha bangin kotneo ho a alutun ahi.
They shall seize upon the city, and run upon the walls, and go up upon the houses, and enter in through the windows as thieves.
10 A masang’u ling akihot leovin ahi. Nisa leh lhathah geijin athim deltan, Ahsi in jong avah-u apetapouve.
Before them the earth shall be confounded, and the sky shall be shaken: the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
11 Pakaiyin a sepaite thu ahin pen, Awthonga sappumin alamkaiyin ahi. Hiche hi thanei tah galmi ahije, amahon athupeh anit sohkeijui. Pakai nikho chu anasa behseh jengin, tijat aum lheh jengin, kichat aum lheh jeng’e. Koiham hiche nikho dou jou ding’a chu!
And the Lord shall utter his voice before his host: for his camp is very great: for the execution of his words is mighty: for the day of the Lord is great, very glorious, and who shall be able to [resist] it?
12 Hiche jeh chun Pakaiyin aseije, “Phat umpetin ka hengah hung kiheijun, Na lungthim’u neipeuvin. Anngol pum, kap pumin Chuleh lhase pumin, hungun.
Now therefore, says the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
13 Lhase pumin na ponsil bot’eh hihun, ahin na lungsungu bot tel jouvin. Na Pakai na Pathen henga hung kile kitun. Ama mikhoto leh lungset them ahijehin lunghang vahlou chuleh ngilutna dimset ahi. Thilsea kon’a alung khelji thei ahi.
and rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
14 Ama kisih henlang kile heikit jong leh kon ija ahet ding ham? chule anunga phatthei bohna lhosoh thilto hihen lengpitwi thilto hijong leh masanga banga Pakai na Pathena ding ahi.
Who knows if he will return, and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meat-offering and a drink-offering to the Lord your God?
15 Jerusalem a sumkon kimutun lang, anngol ding phat phongdoh un, mipite koukhomun, phattheiboh pumin kikhom’un.
Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
16 Mijouse khom’un, upa ho, chapangho chuleh chapangsen geijin, Mouneipu chu aumna dan sunga kon in koudoh hen.
gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants at the breast: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
17 Pakai umna muna Pakai lhacha kin bol’a pang Thempupa chu hongcha le Maicham kikah laiya chun ding hen lang kap uhen, taona mang hen. “Pakai! namite hoidohin! tin.
Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare your people, O Lord, and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say amongst the heathen, Where is their God?
18 Pakaiyin amite lungset hen chuleh thangset’in amite gamsung vengtup hen.
But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
19 Pakaiyin donbut nante.“Ven! keiman changleh lengpiga thah chuleh olive thao, nangaichat lhingsetin kahin thot’e, Chuteng leh nava a naneh uva, chimsetna na dondiu ahi; chutah leh kenjong namtin vaipi laha seiset’a ka umsah lou dingu ahitai.
And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach amongst the Gentiles.
20 Keiman hiche galmi hohi sahlam gamkal’a kadalmong diu ahi. Keiman Amaho hi gamjao laha kasol mong ding ahi. Amasanga pangho jong twipi thia kadellut ding, chu a anai lama umho jong Mediterranan dillen’a kadellut ding ahi. Chutah le thillui namlet lutin kitungdoh inte, ajeh chu Pakaiyin thil lentah aboldoh tai.
And I will chase away from you the northern [adversary], and will drive him away into a dry land, and I will sink his face in the former sea, and his back parts in the latter sea, and his ill savour shall come up, and his stink come up, because he has wrought great things.
21 Kichahihun, kamite. Kipah unlang thanomun, Pakaiyin thil lentahho abol jeh'in.
Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord has done great things.
22 Kichahihun gamsunga gamsa ho jouse, gamsunga hampa ho gang taha Hung dondoh thah kitna eng kit ding ahi. Thingphung jouse jong hung ga kit ding ahi. Theichang phung leh Lengpi gui jong lhingsetin aga kitlhon tai.
Be of good courage, you beasts of the plain, for the plains of the wilderness have budded, for the trees have borne their fruit, the fig tree and the vine have yielded their strength.
23 Kipahun, nangho Jerusalema um mite, kipahun na Pakai Pathen a. Akitahna vetsahna dingin aman gotwi ahin juhsah tai, chavang laiya jong ajuh sah kit ding chuleh gojuh lai jeng’a jong ajuh sah ding ahi.
Rejoice then and be glad, you children of Sion, in the Lord your God: for he has given you food fully, and he will rain on you the early and the latter rain, as before.
24 Changphol jouse jong chang dimsoh ding, chule umle bel jouse jong lengpitwi le Olive thao letlhasohhel ding ahi.
And the floors shall be filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
25 Pakaiyin aseije, “Na mansah jouse namu kit ding ahi.” Thing lung nehjou sa, lungmul neh jousa, lungtol leh khaokhopi ten aneh jousa ho cheng na nungmu kit diu ahi. Nangma douna a hiche galmi hattah ho hinsol chu keima kahi.
And I will recompense you for the years which the locust, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, and the cankerworm have eaten, [even] my great army, which I sent against you.
26 Nehle chah nangaichat jouse namu kit ding ahi, chuleh na Pakai na Pathen na thangvah kit ding ahi, chutia chu, kamite chun jachatna amukitlou diu ahitai.
And you shall eat abundantly, and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the Lord your God [for the things] which he has wrought wonderfully with you: and my people shall not be ashamed for ever.
27 Chuteng leh keima kami Israelte laha aum’e ti nahet ding’u ahi, chule Keima na Pakai na Pathenu hing ting, chuleh Pathen dang aum poi ti nahet diu, chutia chu kamiten jachatna amukitlou heldiu ahitai.
And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and [that] I am the Lord your God, and [that] there is none else beside me; and my people shall no more be ashamed for ever.
28 “Chuteng leh hichengse kibol jouva hi keiman ka Lhagao mijouse chunga ka buhlhah ding, nachapateu le nachanuteuvin gaothu aphondoh uva, na upa houvin mang amatdiu chuleh na gollhang houvin Lhagao thilmu anei diu ahi.
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
29 Hiche nikho teng chule sohte chung jenga jong, pasal le numei chunga jong ka Lhagao ka buhlhah ding ahi.
And on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
30 Chuleh vana thil kidang kaso saha chule leiset chunga hi thisan le meikong chuleh meikhu a melchihna kavetsah ding ahi.
And I will show wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
31 Nisa hung thim ding chuleh Lha thisan hung soh ding, Pakai nikho tijat umtah leh loupitah hunglhun masanga hicheng hi hungsoh ding ahi.
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
32 Chutengleh Pakai mina tao chan chu kihuhhing ding ahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin asei masatsa ahingdoh ho laha Pakaiyin akoudoh umding mong ahi, tia asei banga chu Zion Molsang, Jerusalem sunga ahing doh ho lah’a Pakaiyn akoudoh umtei ding ahi.
And it shall come to pass [that] whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion and in Jerusalem shall the saved one be as the Lord has said, and they that have glad tidings preached to them, whom the Lord has called.
