Joel 2
1 Blow ye the horn in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is at hand;
Zion ah tuki te ueng uh lamtah ka hmuencim tlang ah yuhui uh. BOEIPA kah khohnin he a yoei rhep la a pai dongah diklai khosa boeih loh tlai uh saeh.
2 A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as blackness spread upon the mountains; a great people and a mighty, there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.
Hmaisuep neh khohmuep hnin, cingmai neh yinnah hnin loh pilnam boeiping neh pilnu kah tlang ah mincang bangla yaal coeng. Te bang te khosuen lamloh ana om noek pawt tih a hnukkah thawnpuei neh cadilcahma tue ah khaw khoep mahpawh.
3 A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame blazeth; the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing escapeth them.
A maelhmai ah hmai loh a hlawp tih a hnukah khaw hmaisai a hlawp. A mikhmuh kah te diklai Eden dum bangla om tih a hnuk tah khosoek khopong la om. Te dongah anih lamkah loeihnah khaw om pawh.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
A mueimae tah marhang mueimae bangla om tih marhang caem bangla yong uh tangloeng.
5 Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a mighty people set in battle array.
Tlang dong sokah leng ol bangla om. Divawt aka hlawp hmaihluei hmai ol bangla sundaep uh. Pilnu pilnam bangla caemtloek rhong a pai.
6 At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have gathered blackness.
Amih mikhmuh ah pilnam loh kilkul tih maelhmai boeih muhut la a om pah.
7 They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of war; and they move on every one in his ways, and they entangle not their paths.
Hlangrhalh bangla yong uh tih caemtloek hlang bangla vongtung dongah luei uh. Te vaengah hlang te amah longpuei ah pongpa uh tih a caehlong te ken uh pawh.
8 Neither doth one thrust another, they march every one in his highway; and they break through the weapons, and suffer no harm.
Te vaengah hlang loh a manuca te a nen uh moenih. Hlang he amah longpuei ah ni a pongpa uh. Pumcumnah hnuk ah mueluem mueh la cungku uh.
9 They leap upon the city, they run upon the wall, they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.
Khopuei kah vongtung soah khaw cu uh tih yong uh. Im lamkhaw bangbuet lamloh yoeng uh tih hlanghuen bangla kun uh.
10 Before them the earth quaketh, the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their shining.
A mikhmuh ah diklai khaw tlai tih, vaan khaw hinghuen. Khomik neh hla hmuep tih aisi khaw a aa khum.
11 And the LORD uttereth His voice before His army; for His camp is very great, for he is mighty that executeth His word; for great is the day of the LORD and very terrible; and who can abide it?
BOEIP A loh A caem mikhmuh ah a ol a huel. A lambong khaw yet muep ngawn, a ol aka vai tah pilnu ngawn, BOEIPA kah khohnin tah len tih rhih om tangkik pai. Te dongah te te aka noeng tah unim?
12 Yet even now, saith the LORD, turn ye unto Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with lamentation;
Tedae BOEIPA kah olphong om pataeng coeng. Kai taengla na thinko boeih neh, yaehnah nen khaw, rhahnah nen khaw, rhaengsaelung nen khaw ha mael laeh.
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God; for He is gracious and compassionate, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy, and repenteth Him of the evil.
Te dongah na thinko mah phen uh lamtah na himbai phen uh boeh. Na Pathen BOEIPA taengla mael uh laeh. Amah tah thinphoei lungvatnah la om. Thintoek a ueh tih sitlohnah a yet dongah boethae khui lamloh ko a hlawt.
14 Who knoweth whether He will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto the LORD your God?
Mael tih ko a hlawt khaw ulong a ming. A hnukah na Pathen BOEIPA hamla yoethennah khocang neh tuisi a paih mai khaming.
15 Blow the horn in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly;
Zion ah tuki te ueng uh, yaehnah te ciim uh, pahong te hoe uh.
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her pavilion.
Pilnam te coi uh, hlangping te ciim uh. Patong rhoek khaw coi lamtah camoe neh rhangsuk dongkah cahni khaw coi uh laeh. Yulokung khaw a imkhui lamloh, vasanu khaw a imkhui lamloh moe laeh saeh.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say: 'Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not Thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should make them a byword: wherefore should they say among the peoples: Where is their God?'
Ngalha laklo neh hmueihtuk taengah BOEIPA kah tueihyoeih khosoih rhoek te rhap uh saeh. Te vaengah, “BOEIPA aw na pilnam te rhen mai, na rho te kokhahnah la, amih lakli kah namtom taengah la khueh boel mai. Balae tih pilnam taengah, 'Amih kah Pathen te melae?' a ti eh?,” ti saeh.
18 Then was the LORD jealous for His land, and had pity on His people.
BOEIP A tah a khohmuen ham thatlai vetih a pilnam soah lungma a ti pueng ni.
19 And the LORD answered and said unto His people: 'Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations;
BOEIP A loh a doo vetih a pilnam taengah, “Kai loh nangmih ham cangpai neh misur thai khaw, situi khaw kan tueih vetih te te na cung bitni. Nangmih te namtom taengah kokhahnah la koep kang khueh mahpawh.
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern one, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the eastern sea, and his hinder part toward the western sea; that his foulness may come up, and his ill savour may come up, because he hath done great things.'
Tlangpuei te nangmih taeng lamloh kan lakhla sak vetih anih te rhamrhae neh khopong hmuen la ka heh ni. A hmai kah khocuk tuipuei duela, a bawtnah ah khobawt tuipuei duela a rhongbo cet vetih a thanghapbo cet ni. A saii ham khaw pantai ngawn coeng.
21 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for the LORD hath done great things.
Khohmuen nang rhih boeh, omngaih lamtah kohoe sak. BOEIPA loh a saii ham te a rhoeng sak.
22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Khohmuen rhamsa na rhih uh voel mah pawh, khosoek toitlim te poe coeng, thing te a thaih cuen ni. Thaibu neh misur khaw a thadueng sai ni.
23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God; for He giveth you the former rain in just measure, and He causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, at the first.
Zion ca rhoek na Pathen BOEIPA dongah omngaih uh lamtah kohoe uh. Duengnah dongah cangpa tue te nang taengah m'paek. Nang hamla cangpa khonal neh lamhma kah tlankhol te kan suntlak bitni.
24 And the floors shall be full of corn, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Cangtilhmuen ah cangpai bae vetih va-am ah misur thai neh situi baepet ni.
25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpiller, and the palmer-worm, My great army which I sent among you.
Nangmih taengah kaisih, lungang, phol neh kamah kah lungmul caem muep kan tueih ti a caak te nang taengah a kum kum ah kan thuung bitni.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be ashamed.
A caak khaw na caak uh vetih na hah uh bitni. Te vaengah na Pathen BOEIPA ming te thangthen uh. Amah loh nangmih ham khobaerhambae la a saii dongah ka pilnam he kumhal duela yah a poh.
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and there is none else; and My people shall never be ashamed.
Kai tah Israel khui kah la nan ming uh bitni. Te dongah kai he nangmih kah Pathen BOEIPA coeng tih a tloe om pawh. Ka pilnam tah kumhal duela yahpok mahpawh.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;
He phoeiah om vetih pumsa cungkuem soah ka mueihla he ka lun ni. Na capa rhoek neh na canu rhoek tonghma uh ni. Nangmih kah patong rhoek loh mang a man uh vetih nangmih kah tongpang rhoek loh olphong a hmuh uh ni.
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit.
Te khohnin ah salpa so neh sal huta soah pataeng ka mueihla ka lun ni.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Vaan ah kopoekrhai, diklai ah khaw thii neh hmai neh hmaikhu tung ka tueng sak ni.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.
Boeilen neh rhih om BOEIPA kah khohnin a pai tom vaengah khomik te hmaisuep la, hla te thii la poeh ni.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as the LORD hath said, and among the remnant those whom the LORD shall call.
BOEIP A ming aka khue boeih te loeih ni. Zion tlang neh Jerusalem ah loeihnah om ni. Te te BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah BOEIPA loh rhaengnaeng khuikah te khaw a khue.
