Joel 3
1 For, behold, in those days and at that time, when I shall have turned the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem,
Te khohnin neh te vaeng tue ah Judah neh Jerusalem thongtla te ka mael rhoe ka mael puei ni.
2 I will also gather all the Gentiles, and bring them down to the valley of Josaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, who have been dispersed among the Gentiles; and [these Gentiles] have divided my land,
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.
3 and cast lots over my people, and have given [their] boys to harlots, and sold [their] girls for wine, and have drunk.
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.
4 And what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles? do ye render me a recompense? or do ye bear malice against me? quickly and speedily will I return your recompense on your own heads:
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.
5 because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and ye have brought my choice ornaments into your temples;
Ka cak neh ka sui na loh uh tih ka ngailaemnah hnothen te na bawkim la na khuen uh.
6 and ye have sold the children of Juda and the children of Jerusalem to the children of the Greeks, that ye might expel them from their coasts.
Judah ca rhoek neh Jerusalem ca te Greek ca taengla na yoih uh tih a Khorhi dong lamloh amih te na lakhla sak.
7 Therefore, behold, I [will] raise them up out of the place whither ye have sold them, and I will return your recompense on your own heads.
Amih yoih nah hmuen lamloh amih te pahoi ah ka haeng coeng he. Te dongah na thaphu te na lu ah kan thuung ni.
8 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them into captivity to a far distant nation: for the Lord has spoken [it].
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.
9 Proclaim these things among the Gentiles; declare war, arouse the warriors, draw near and go up, all ye men of war.
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.
10 Beat your ploughshares into swords, and your sickles into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Na tuktong te cunghang la, na vin te khaw cai la dae uh. Tattloel long khaw ka, “Hlangrhalh,” ti saeh.
11 Gather yourselves together, and go in, all ye nations round about, and gather yourselves there; let the timid become a warrior.
Kaepvai lamkah namtom boeih capit uh lamtah paan uh lamtah tingtun uh laeh. BOEIPA aw na hlangrhalh rhoek pahoi ah ael sak laeh.
12 Let them be aroused, let all the nations go up to the valley of Josaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the Gentiles round about.
Haenghang saeh lamtah namtom te Jehoshaphat kol la cet uh saeh. Kaepvai kah namtom boeih te laitloek hamla kana ngol ni te.
13 Bring forth the sickles, for the vintage is come: go in, tread [the grapes], for the press is full: cause the vats to overflow; for their wickedness is multiplied.
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.
14 Noises have resounded in the valley of judgment: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of judgment.
Oltloeknah tuikol ah tah hlangping la hlangping kak coeng ni. Oltloeknah tuikol ah BOEIPA kah khohnin yoei coeng.
15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their light.
Khomik neh hla hmuep vetih aisi rhoek loh a aa a hloh ni.
16 And the Lord shall cry out of Sion, and shall utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heaven and the earth shall be shaken, but the Lord shall spare his people, and shall strengthen the children of Israel.
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.
17 And ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who dwell in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall not pass through her anymore.
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.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day [that] the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the fountains of Juda shall flow with water, and a fountain shall go forth of the house of the Lord, and water the valley of flags.
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.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Idumea shall be a desolate plain, because of the wrongs of the children of Juda, because they have shed righteous blood in their land.
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.
20 But Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to all generations.
Judah tah kumhal duela kho a sak vetih Jerusalem khaw a cadilcahma neh cadilcahma duela om ni.
21 And I will make inquisition for their blood, and will by no means leave it unavenged: and the Lord shall dwell in Sion.
A thii dongah ka hmil mueh te ka hmil ni. BOEIPA he Zion ah kho a sak.
