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.
Blow a horn in Zion, And shout in My holy hill, All inhabitants of the earth tremble, For the Day of YHWH is coming, for [it is] near!

A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people numerous and mighty, Like there has not been from of old, And after it there is not again—Until the years of generation and generation.
3 Amasang’u meiyin akachaiyin, anung sang’u meikongin aleo velvullun, amasang’u Eden honsung abangin, anung lamu vang imacha umlou ahomkeo ahi.
Before it fire has consumed, And after it a flame burns, As the Garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after it a wilderness—a desolation! And also there has not been to it an escape,
4 Aum dan’u Sakolte abangun, sakol galsat bangin amalama alhai lhai jengun,
As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as horsemen, so they run.

As the noise of chariots, they skip on the tops of the mountains, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a mighty people set in array for battle.
6 Mipite jouse akicha gamtauvin ahi, amai nguisoh keijun, aki tihot hot gamtauve.
Pained are peoples from its face, All faces have gathered paleness.
7 Gal hangtah bangin adalkhum khum jenguvin, Sepaite bangin paldung jouse atom lhahdeh jengun ahi.
They run as mighty ones, As men of war they go up a wall, And they each go in his own ways, And they do not change their paths.
8 Khat le khat jong akinehto pouve. Ajotna ding lampi cheh a jangpetin acheuve. Itobang umjong leh chehchao louvin ajotpai pai jengun ahi.
And each does not press his brother, They each go on in his way, If they fall by the missile, they are not cut off.
9 Khopi jengjong atomchah sohkeijun, paldung jousea avahcheh sohkeijun, insung jousea alutsohkeijun, gucha bangin kotneo ho a alutun ahi.
In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief.
10 A masang’u ling akihot leovin ahi. Nisa leh lhathah geijin athim deltan, Ahsi in jong avah-u apetapouve.
At their face the earth has trembled, The heavens have shaken, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.

And YHWH has given forth His voice before His force, For His camp [is] very great, For mighty [is] the doer of His word, For great [is] the Day of YHWH—very fearful, And who bears 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.
“And also now,” a declaration of YHWH, “Turn back 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 tear your heart, and not your garments, And turn back to your God YHWH, For He [is] gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness, And relenting from evil.

Who knows—He turns back, Indeed—He has relented, And He has left behind Him a blessing, A present and drink-offering of your God YHWH?
15 Jerusalem a sumkon kimutun lang, anngol ding phat phongdoh un, mipite koukhomun, phattheiboh pumin kikhom’un.
Blow a horn in Zion, Sanctify a fast—proclaim a restraint.
16 Mijouse khom’un, upa ho, chapangho chuleh chapangsen geijin, Mouneipu chu aumna dan sunga kon in koudoh hen.
Gather the people, sanctify an assembly, Assemble the aged, Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Let a bridegroom go out from his inner chamber, And a 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.
Let the priests weep between the porch and the altar, servants of YHWH, And let them say: “Have pity, O YHWH, on Your people, And do not give Your inheritance to reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say among peoples, Where [is] their God?”
18 Pakaiyin amite lungset hen chuleh thangset’in amite gamsung vengtup hen.
And let YHWH be zealous for His land, And have pity on His people.

Let YHWH answer and say to His people, “Behold, I am sending to you the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And you have been satisfied with it, And I make you no longer a reproach among nations,

And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven him to a land dry and desolate, With his face toward the Eastern Sea, And his rear to the Western Sea, And his stink has come up, And his stench comes up, For he has exerted himself to work.”
21 Kichahihun, kamite. Kipah unlang thanomun, Pakaiyin thil lentahho abol jeh'in.
Do not fear, O land! Be glad and rejoice, For YHWH has exerted Himself to work.

Do not fear, O livestock of the field! For pastures of a wilderness have sprung up, For the tree has borne its fruit, Fig tree and vine have given their strength!

And you sons of Zion, Be glad and rejoice in your God YHWH, For He has given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And causes a shower to come down to you, Early rain and spring rain [as] in the beginning.
24 Changphol jouse jong chang dimsoh ding, chule umle bel jouse jong lengpitwi le Olive thao letlhasohhel ding ahi.
And the floors have been full [with] pure grain, And the presses have overflown [with] new wine and oil.

“And I have repaid to you the years that the locust consumed, The cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, My great force that 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 have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have praised the Name of your God YHWH, Who has dealt with you wonderfully, And My people are not ashamed for all time.

And it has come to pass afterward, I pour out My Spirit on all flesh, And your sons and your daughters have prophesied, Your old men dream dreams, Your young men see visions.
29 Hiche nikho teng chule sohte chung jenga jong, pasal le numei chunga jong ka Lhagao ka buhlhah ding ahi.
And also on the menservants and on the maidservants, In those days I pour out My Spirit.

The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, Before the coming of the Day of YHWH, The great and the fearful.

And it has come to pass, Everyone who calls on the Name of YHWH is delivered, For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there is an escape, As YHWH has said, And among the remnants whom YHWH is calling!”
