< Joel 3 >

1 “For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Hiche thilsoh laitah ding chu Pakaiyin aseije, “Chuteng chuleh keiman Juda gamsung leh Jerusalem khopi hamphatna kasemphat teng,
2 Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been in judgment with them there, Concerning My people and My inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
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 for My people they cast a lot, And they give the young man for a harlot, And have sold the young woman for wine, That they may 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 And also, what [are] you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Are you rendering repayment to Me? And if you are giving repayment to Me, Swiftly, quickly, I return your repayment on your 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 In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought 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 sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, You have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
Nanghon Juda mite le Jerusalem khomite chu Greek mite henga na joh monguvin, gamgi kal lang peha nathah mong sohtauve.
7 Behold, I am stirring them up out of the place To where you have sold them, And I have turned back your repayment on your head,
Ahin lah keiman na johmong namun uva kona ka nung lah kit ding ahi.
8 And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Sabeans, To a nation far off, for YHWH has spoken.”
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 this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
Gaphong jaluvin hiche namtin vaipi laha. “Galsat dingin kigontauvin, gollhang thahat jouse kikoudohun, mithahat gollhang jouse kitilkhou soh kei’uvin.
10 Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
Na sehcha’u chemjamin kikhenun, na kangkuiju chu tengchan kikhen unlang, milhasam tah jong chun “Galhat kahije” tin seijuhen.
11 Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
Kintahin kikhom loiyun, akimvella um natin vaipi jouse phaichama hung kihom loiyun. Chuleh tun, Aw Pakai nagal mite koudoh in.
12 “Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
Namtin vaipi amaho leh amaho hungkon uhen, Jehosaphet phaicham a Kijot uhen, Keima, Pakai in hichea chu katouva Thu katan ding ahi.
13 Send forth a sickle, For harvest has ripened, Come in, come down, for the press has been filled, Winepresses have overflowed, For great [is] their wickedness.”
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 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
Thutanna phaicham a asang asangin angah tai, Pakai nikho chu hung lhungvah ding ahitai.
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Nisa le lhathah hung thim ding, chule ahsi ho jong vahta louding ahi.
16 And YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and earth have shaken, And YHWH [is] a refuge to His people, And a stronghold to sons 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 have known that I [am] your God YHWH, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem has been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.”
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 has come to pass in that day, The mountains drop down juice, And the hills flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of YHWH goes forth, And has watered the Valley of Shittim.
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 becomes a desolation, And Edom becomes a desolation, a wilderness, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed 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 Judah dwells for all time, 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 have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
Keiman kamite asuhkhel nau ka ngaidam ding chuleh keima Pakai in Jerusalem a, ka mite jouse toh ka in ka sah ding ahi.”
