Joel 2
1 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;
Zion mon dawk mongka ueng awh haw. Kaie mon kathoung dawkvah kâhruetcuetnae lawk dei pouh haw lah, Khocanaw pueng tâlueng awh naseh, Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e hnin teh tho han a hnai toe.
2 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.
Khohmonae hnin, khokingpâuinae hnin lah ao. Kanî raeng ni monnaw dawk pheng a tue e patetlah miphun kalen naw hoi a tha kaawm naw a tho awh han. Ayan e tueng dawk hottelah awm boihoeh, hma lae tueng dawk hai bout awm mahoeh toe.
3 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.
Ahnimae hmalah hmai a kak teh a hnuklah hmai a to. Hmalah kaawm e ram teh Eden takha patetlah ao. Ahnimae a hnuk lah, ka nga e thingyei patetlah ao. Atangcalah ahnimae kut dawk hoi bangcahai hlout mahoeh.
4 Their appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they pursue.
Ahnimae meilam teh marang hoi a kâvan. Marang ransa patetlah a yawng awh han.
5 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.
Rangleng kacai e pawlawk patetlah hai thoseh, songnawng ka kang e pawlawk patetlah hai thoseh, a cai vaiteh, monsomnaw dawk a doukcouk awh han. Tarantuk hanlah, ka kamkhueng e a thakaawmpounge patetlah ao awh han.
6 Before them shall the people be crushed: every face [shall be] as the blackness of a caldron.
Ahnimae hmalah, miphunnaw teh puenghoi a tawn awh vaiteh, minhmai duk a tamang awh han.
7 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:
Ahnimouh teh, khopui e rapan dawk a luen awh han. Lamthung phen awh laipalah, mamae lamthung dawk athakaawme taminaw patetlah lengkaleng a yawng awh han.
8 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.
Buet touh hoi buet touh kâhmang laipalah, mamae lamthung a dawn awh han. Tahloi e hâ ni na a ei nakunghai hmâ na cat mahoeh.
9 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.
Kho thung avoivanglah yawng awh vaiteh kho rapannaw tapuet awh vaiteh, lemphu luen awh vaiteh tamru patetlah hlalangaw dawk hoi a kâen awh han.
10 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.
Ahnimae hmalah Tâlî a no vaiteh kalvan a kâhuet han. Kanî hoi thapa a hmo vaiteh âsinaw hai ang mahoeh.
11 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?
BAWIPA teh a ransanaw hmalah lawk a pathang. A ransanaw teh moiapap. A lawk patetlah lawk ka ceng e teh a bahu a len toungloung. BAWIPA e hnin teh a lenpoung teh takikathopounge hnin lah ao. Apinimouh a khang thai han.
12 Now therefore, saith the Lord your God, turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation:
Hatdawkvah BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, atuvah rawcahainae, khuikanae hoi lungthin abuemlahoi kai koe bout ban awh.
13 and rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is merciful and compassionate, long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy, and repents of evils.
Na khohna e phi laipalah na lungthin hah phi awh nateh, BAWIPA koelah bout ban awh. Lungkâpatawnae hoi kawi nateh lungsawnae hnokahawi saknae, rek han tangcoung e bout pahrennae lungthin a tawn.
14 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?
Nangmouh teh namamae Cathut BAWIPA koe canei kawi pasoumhno hah na poe awh navah, a kamlang teh yawhawinae a ceitakhai hoi a ceitakhai hoeh hane apinimaw a panue.
15 Sound the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, proclaim a [solemn] service:
Zion mon dawkvah mongka ueng awh. Rawcahainae atueng khoe awh nateh, pathang awh.
16 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.
Taminaw pueng kaw awh nateh kamkhuengnaw thoungsak awh. A kum kacuenaw thoseh, a kum kanaw naw hoi sanukanetnaw hai thoseh kamkhueng sak awh. Yu kalatkung thoundoun ni amae irakhan dawk hoi thoseh, vâ ka sak e napui ni amae rakhan dawk hoi thoseh tâcawt naseh.
17 Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?
BAWIPA e thaw ka tawk e vaihma teh im takhang hoi thuengnae rahak vah a ka teh, Oe! na taminaw hah lungma haw. Alouke miphunnaw ni a uk teh a pacekpahlek awh. Nâmaw nangmae BAWIPA teh ao telah alouke miphunnaw ni bangkongmaw a dei awh vaw telah a ti.
18 But the Lord was jealous of his land, and spared his people.
Hottelah sak pawiteh, BAWIPA ni a ram hah a kabawp vaiteh a taminaw a rungngang han.
19 And the Lord answered and said to his people, Behold, I [will] send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied with them: and I will no longer make you a reproach among the Gentiles.
Atangcalah BAWIPA ni na pato teh kai ni cakang, misur tui, satui na poe awh vaiteh nangmouh teh na von a paha han. Alouke miphunnaw ni dudam kawi lah kai ni bout na tat mahoeh toe.
20 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.
Atunglae ransanaw hah nangmouh koehoi kai ni ka takhoe han. Kingdinae ram koelah ka pâlei han. Kanîtholah e tuipui koelah ka kangvawi vaiteh kanîloumlae tuipui teh ka hnamthun takhai han. Ka pawk hmui a tho han. Cathut ni kalenpounge hno ka sak han telah ati han.
21 Be of good courage, O land; rejoice and be glad: for the Lord has done great things.
Oe, Judah ram na lungpuen hanh. Na konawm awh nateh na lunghawi awh, BAWIPA ni hno kalen a sak han.
22 Be of good courage, ye 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.
Oe kahrawng e sarangnaw, puen awh hanh. Pho a paw vaiteh thingkungnaw ni a paw paw vaiteh, thaibunglung hoi misurkungnaw ni hai tha a patho awh han.
23 Rejoice then and be glad, ye 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.
Oe Zion canaw na lunghawi awh nateh namamae BAWIPA kâuep laihoi na lungnawm awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, phung kadeikung na patoun pouh vaiteh apasuek e ratui hoi a hnukteng e ratui, nangmouh koe ka rak sak han.
24 And the floors shall be filled with corn, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
Cangkatinnae hah cakang hoi akawi vaiteh, misur katinnae tangkom hai misur hoi satui akawi vaiteh, a poum han.
25 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.
A kum moi kasawlah kai ni ka patoun e ransahu awsinaw ni a ca e bout na patho han.
26 And ye 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.
Nangmouh teh ka boum lah na ca awh han. Nangmouh hanelah kângairu hno ka sak e na Cathut BAWIPA e a min hateh na pholen awh han. Ka taminaw teh yeirai bout po mahoeh toe.
27 And ye 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.
Kai teh Isarel miphunnaw koe kaawm e, nangmae Cathut BAWIPA lah ka o teh alouk awm hoeh tie hah na panue awh han. Taminaw teh yeirai bout po awh mahoeh toe.
28 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.
Hathnukkhu vah Ka miphun pueng koe ka muitha ka awi han. Na canaw ni profet lawk a dei awh han. Matawng kacuenaw ni mang a mang awh han. Camonaw ni hai visionnaw a hmu awh han.
29 And on my servants and on [my] handmaids in those days will I pour out of my Spirit.
Kaie thaw ka tawk e tongpa napuinaw lathueng ka Muitha ka awi vaiteh ahnimouh ni profet lawk lahoi a pâpho awh han.
30 And I will shew wonders in heaven, and upon the earth, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
Kalvan thoseh, talai van thoseh, kângairu kawi thi, hmaito, hmaikhu khomnaw hah ka kamnue sak han.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord come.
Taki ka tho e BAWIPA e a hnin a pha hoehnahlan, kanî teh a hmo han, thapa hai thi lah ao han.
32 And it shall come to pass [that] whosoever 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.
Hatnavah BAWIPA e min ka kaw e pueng teh a hlout awh han. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Zion mon, Jerusalem kho dawk kacawinaw teh rungngang lah ao awh han.
