< Joel 3 >

1 For behold in those days, and in that time when I shall bring back the captivity of Juda and Jerusalem:
Hiche thilsoh laitah ding chu Pakaiyin aseije, “Chuteng chuleh keiman Juda gamsung leh Jerusalem khopi hamphatna kasemphat teng,
2 I will gather together all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Josaphat: and I will plead with them there for my people, and for my inheritance Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and have parted my land.
Leiset pumpia galmi jouse Jehosaphet phaichama kakhop khom ding, Hichea chu thu katan ding ahi. Ajeh chu amahon Israel nam hi namtin vaipi laha alhoh thangsoh keiuvin, ka gamsung geijin akihomtauve”.
3 And they have cast lots upon my people: and the boy they have put in the stews, and the girl they have sold for wine, that they might drink.
Chuleh kamite chu soh dingin vang asanuvin, pasal chapang ho jong numei noti ho toh akilhehjiuvin, nungah khat geijin jong lengpitwi man din akijohjiuve, chule lengpitwi chu akham sasan adon jiuve.
4 But what have you to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coast of the Philistines? will you revenge yourselves on me? and if you revenge yourselves on me, I will very soon return you a recompense upon your own head.
Kei douna a ipibol nahiuvem, Tur le Sidon gam chule Philistia? Kei dinga nangho hi ipia kibol nahiuvem? Kei chunga phula dinga kigong nahiuvem? Nanghon kachunga phulah ding nagotuva ahileh, keiman jong natohnau chu hetman loukaha nachunguva ka sunlhahpeh diu ahi.
5 For you have taken away my silver and my gold: and my desirable and most beautiful things you have carried into your temples.
Ajeh chu nanghon keima dangka leh sana nalauvin, kakhol tupsa thil manlutah tah ho jeng jong na pomanguvin gamchom mite indoi houna a na koitauve.
6 And the children of Juda, and the children of Jerusalem you have sold to the children of the Greeks, that you might remove them far off from their own country.
Nanghon Juda mite le Jerusalem khomite chu Greek mite henga na joh monguvin, gamgi kal lang peha nathah mong sohtauve.
7 Behold, I will raise them up out of the place wherein you have sold them: and I will return your recompense upon your own heads.
Ahin lah keiman na johmong namun uva kona ka nung lah kit ding ahi.
8 And I will sell your sons, and your daughters by the hands of the children of Juda, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, a nation far off, for the Lord hath spoken it.
Keiman nachateu numeiho le pasalho jong Juda mite koma ka joh doha, amahon Jong hetphah lou Seba gam mite henga ajoh mong kit diu ahi. Ajeh chu Pakai keiman kana seisa ahitai.
9 Proclaim ye this among the nations: prepare war, rouse up the strong: let them come, let all the men of war come up.
Gaphong jaluvin hiche namtin vaipi laha. “Galsat dingin kigontauvin, gollhang thahat jouse kikoudohun, mithahat gollhang jouse kitilkhou soh kei’uvin.
10 Cut your ploughshares into swords, and your spades into spears. Let the weak say: I am strong.
Na sehcha’u chemjamin kikhenun, na kangkuiju chu tengchan kikhen unlang, milhasam tah jong chun “Galhat kahije” tin seijuhen.
11 Break forth, and come, all ye nations, from round about, and gather yourselves together: there will the Lord cause all thy strong ones to fall down.
Kintahin kikhom loiyun, akimvella um natin vaipi jouse phaichama hung kihom loiyun. Chuleh tun, Aw Pakai nagal mite koudoh in.
12 Let them arise, and let the nations come up into the valley of Josaphat: for there I will sit to judge all nations round about.
Namtin vaipi amaho leh amaho hungkon uhen, Jehosaphet phaicham a Kijot uhen, Keima, Pakai in hichea chu katouva Thu katan ding ahi.
13 Put ye in the sickles, for the harvest is ripe: come and go down, for the press is full, the fats run over: for their wickedness is multiplied.
Koite kigotin chang-at ding aminin akuitai. Hung inlang lengpiga hung chilin, lengpiga chilna adimsoh tai. Bel le kong jouse jong aletlha soh tai. Ajeh chu hiche mite agit louna’u anasa behseh jengin ahi.
14 Nations, nations in the valley of destruction: for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of destruction.
Thutanna phaicham a asang asangin angah tai, Pakai nikho chu hung lhungvah ding ahitai.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.
Nisa le lhathah hung thim ding, chule ahsi ho jong vahta louding ahi.
16 And the Lord shall roar out of Sion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem: and the heavens and the earth shall be moved, and the Lord shall be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Pakai Awgin Ziona kithong ding chuleh Jerusalema kona keh lhading chuleh Van le leiset kiling ding, ahin Pakai chu amite kiselna hiding, Israel mite dinga kiselna kulpi hiding ahi.
17 And you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Sion my holy mountain: and Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall pass through it no more.
Hiteng chuleh keima na Pakai na Pathenu, Zion lhang thenga cheng kahi neihetdoh dingu ahi. Jerusalem a imatih chana theng jing jeng ding, chuleh gamchoma galmiten imatih chana ajo lou ding ahi.
18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweetness, and the hills shall flow with milk: and waters shall flow through all the rivers of Juda: and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the Lord, and shall water the torrent of thorns.
Hiche nikho teng chuleh mol chunga kona Lengpitwi lhum hung longa, lhangdung jouse jong bongnoi hung long ding. Juda gamsung’a vacha hom jouse twi dim soha, Jerusalem Pakai Hou in Thenga kona, Acacias phaicham geija hung long lha ding ahi.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom a wilderness destroyed: because they have done unjustly against the children of Juda, and have shed innocent blood in their land.
Ahinlah Egyp gamsung ahom keova hung lum ding, Edom jong ahom keova Gamthip hung soh ding, ajeh chu amahon Juda mite chu pumhat jengin anaboluvin, agamsung uva themmona bei mite thisan anasouvin ahi.
20 And Judea shall be inhabited for ever, and Jerusalem to generation and generation.
“Ahinlah Juda gamhi a imatih chana amite dimset ding, chuleh Jerusalem Jong akhang khanga amiten kichenpi ding ahi.
21 And I will cleanse their blood which I had not cleansed: and the Lord will dwell in Sion.
Keiman kamite asuhkhel nau ka ngaidam ding chuleh keima Pakai in Jerusalem a, ka mite jouse toh ka in ka sah ding ahi.”
