Joel 2
1 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion; sound the alarm on My holy mountain! Let all who dwell in the land tremble, for the Day of the LORD is coming; indeed, it is near—
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.
2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.
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.
3 Before them a fire devours, and behind them a flame scorches. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland— surely nothing will escape them.
Amasang’u meiyin akachaiyin, anung sang’u meikongin aleo velvullun, amasang’u Eden honsung abangin, anung lamu vang imacha umlou ahomkeo ahi.
4 Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like swift steeds.
Aum dan’u Sakolte abangun, sakol galsat bangin amalama alhai lhai jengun,
5 With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.
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.
6 Nations writhe in horror before them; every face turns pale.
Mipite jouse akicha gamtauvin ahi, amai nguisoh keijun, aki tihot hot gamtauve.
7 They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course.
Gal hangtah bangin adalkhum khum jenguvin, Sepaite bangin paldung jouse atom lhahdeh jengun ahi.
8 They do not jostle one another; each proceeds in his path. They burst through the defenses, never breaking ranks.
Khat le khat jong akinehto pouve. Ajotna ding lampi cheh a jangpetin acheuve. Itobang umjong leh chehchao louvin ajotpai pai jengun ahi.
9 They storm the city; they run along the wall; they climb into houses, entering through windows like thieves.
Khopi jengjong atomchah sohkeijun, paldung jousea avahcheh sohkeijun, insung jousea alutsohkeijun, gucha bangin kotneo ho a alutun ahi.
10 Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble. The sun and moon grow dark, and the stars lose their brightness.
A masang’u ling akihot leovin ahi. Nisa leh lhathah geijin athim deltan, Ahsi in jong avah-u apetapouve.
11 The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?
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!
12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning.”
Hiche jeh chun Pakaiyin aseije, “Phat umpetin ka hengah hung kiheijun, Na lungthim’u neipeuvin. Anngol pum, kap pumin Chuleh lhase pumin, hungun.
13 So rend your hearts and not your garments, and return to the LORD your God. For He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion. And He relents from sending disaster.
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.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind Him— grain and drink offerings for the LORD your God.
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.
15 Blow the ram’s horn in Zion, consecrate a fast, proclaim a sacred assembly.
Jerusalem a sumkon kimutun lang, anngol ding phat phongdoh un, mipite koukhomun, phattheiboh pumin kikhom’un.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the aged, gather the children, even those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.
Mijouse khom’un, upa ho, chapangho chuleh chapangsen geijin, Mouneipu chu aumna dan sunga kon in koudoh hen.
17 Let the priests who minister before the LORD weep between the portico and the altar, saying, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not make Your heritage a reproach, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”
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.
18 Then the LORD became jealous for His land, and He spared His people.
Pakaiyin amite lungset hen chuleh thangset’in amite gamsung vengtup hen.
19 And the LORD answered His people: “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and by them you will be satisfied. I will never again make you a reproach among the nations.
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.
20 The northern army I will drive away from you, banishing it to a barren and desolate land, its front ranks into the Eastern Sea, and its rear guard into the Western Sea. And its stench will rise; its foul odor will ascend. For He has done great things.
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.
21 Do not be afraid, O land; rejoice and be glad, for the LORD has done great things.
Kichahihun, kamite. Kipah unlang thanomun, Pakaiyin thil lentahho abol jeh'in.
22 Do not be afraid, O beasts of the field, for the open pastures have turned green, the trees bear their fruit, and the fig tree and vine yield their best.
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.
23 Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for He has given you the autumn rains for your vindication. He sends you showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
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.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
Changphol jouse jong chang dimsoh ding, chule umle bel jouse jong lengpitwi le Olive thao letlhasohhel ding ahi.
25 I will repay you for the years eaten by locusts— the swarming locust, the young locust, the destroying locust, and the devouring locust — My great army that I sent against you.
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.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are satisfied. You will praise the name of the LORD your God, who has worked wonders for you. My people will never again be put to shame.
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.
27 Then you will know that I am present in Israel and that I am the LORD your God, and there is no other. My people will never again be put to shame.
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.
28 And afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.
“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.
29 Even on My menservants and maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Hiche nikho teng chule sohte chung jenga jong, pasal le numei chunga jong ka Lhagao ka buhlhah ding ahi.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
Chuleh vana thil kidang kaso saha chule leiset chunga hi thisan le meikong chuleh meikhu a melchihna kavetsah ding ahi.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the LORD.
Nisa hung thim ding chuleh Lha thisan hung soh ding, Pakai nikho tijat umtah leh loupitah hunglhun masanga hicheng hi hungsoh ding ahi.
32 And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the LORD has promised, among the remnant called by the LORD.
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.
