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 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 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.
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 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.
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 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Ahnimae meilam teh marang hoi a kâvan. Marang ransa patetlah a yawng awh han.
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.
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 their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Ahnimae hmalah, miphunnaw teh puenghoi a tawn awh vaiteh, minhmai duk a tamang awh han.
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:
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 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.
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 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.
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 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:
Ahnimae hmalah Tâlî a no vaiteh kalvan a kâhuet han. Kanî hoi thapa a hmo vaiteh âsinaw hai ang mahoeh.
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?
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 Therefore also now, saith Yhwh, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Hatdawkvah BAWIPA ni a dei e teh, atuvah rawcahainae, khuikanae hoi lungthin abuemlahoi kai koe bout ban awh.
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Yhwh your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
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 knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a grain offering and a drink offering unto Yhwh 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 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
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 children, and those that suck the breasts: 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 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 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 Then will Yhwh be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Hottelah sak pawiteh, BAWIPA ni a ram hah a kabawp vaiteh a taminaw a rungngang han.
19 Yea, Yhwh will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
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 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.
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 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for Yhwh will do great things.
Oe, Judah ram na lungpuen hanh. Na konawm awh nateh na lunghawi awh, BAWIPA ni hno kalen a sak han.
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.
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 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Yhwh your God: 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.
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 full of wheat, and the pressfats 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 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.
A kum moi kasawlah kai ni ka patoun e ransahu awsinaw ni a ca e bout na patho han.
26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of Yhwh your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
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 Yhwh your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
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 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:
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 also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out 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 the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars 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 the terrible day of Yhwh 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 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.
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.
