Joel 2
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of YHWH cometh, for it is nigh 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 of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, 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 burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape 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 shall 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 mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong 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 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Amih mikhmuh ah pilnam loh kilkul tih maelhmai boeih muhut la a om pah.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
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 shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
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 shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall 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 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall 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 YHWH shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of YHWH is great 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 Therefore also now, saith YHWH, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
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 YHWH your Elohim: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, 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 if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto YHWH your Elohim?
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 trumpet 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 of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
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 YHWH, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O YHWH, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their Elohim?
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 will YHWH be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
BOEIP A tah a khohmuen ham thatlai vetih a pilnam soah lungma a ti pueng ni.
19 Yea, YHWH will answer and say 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 heathen:
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 army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall 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 YHWH will do 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 her 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 YHWH your Elohim: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
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 wheat, and the fats 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 cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, 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 praise the name of YHWH your Elohim, 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 YHWH your Elohim, and 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 the terrible day of YHWH 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 YHWH shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as YHWH hath said, and in the remnant whom YHWH 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.
