< Joel 2 >

1 Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm on my holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is near.
Tumging tothon Jerusalema samun, kalhang theng chunga, galkon dingin awthongin samun, mijouse kichan kitihot lhulsoh keijuhen, ajeh chu Pakai nikho chu ichunguvah ahung lhung tai.
2 A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As blackness spreading on the mountains a great and powerful people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even after the years of many generations.
Hiche hi muthim lhangkhal kiheh nikho, meibol satah leh vomletlut jeng. Hetman louvin, molsang dung jousea chun galmi nasatah leh thaneitah ahung konun, hitobang hi tumasang’a ana um khalou, umjong hung umkitlou ding ahi.
3 A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.
Amasang’u meiyin akachaiyin, anung sang’u meikongin aleo velvullun, amasang’u Eden honsung abangin, anung lamu vang imacha umlou ahomkeo ahi.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen, so do they run.
Aum dan’u Sakolte abangun, sakol galsat bangin amalama alhai lhai jengun,
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a mighty people drawn up for battle.
Ahu sanletlut jengun, sakol kangtalai tampi gin abangin, molsanglai jousea alhuh lhuhin akijamun, mei’in changpol akahgin bangin apoh chet chutin, galmuna pong dinga kigoltoh sepaite thahattah tobang ahiuve.
6 At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
Mipite jouse akicha gamtauvin ahi, amai nguisoh keijun, aki tihot hot gamtauve.
7 They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they do not swerve off course.
Gal hangtah bangin adalkhum khum jenguvin, Sepaite bangin paldung jouse atom lhahdeh jengun ahi.
8 Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and do not break ranks.
Khat le khat jong akinehto pouve. Ajotna ding lampi cheh a jangpetin acheuve. Itobang umjong leh chehchao louvin ajotpai pai jengun ahi.
9 They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
Khopi jengjong atomchah sohkeijun, paldung jousea avahcheh sohkeijun, insung jousea alutsohkeijun, gucha bangin kotneo ho a alutun ahi.
10 The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
A masang’u ling akihot leovin ahi. Nisa leh lhathah geijin athim deltan, Ahsi in jong avah-u apetapouve.
11 The LORD thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?
Pakaiyin a sepaite thu ahin pen, Awthonga sappumin alamkaiyin ahi. Hiche hi thanei tah galmi ahije, amahon athupeh anit sohkeijui. Pakai nikho chu anasa behseh jengin, tijat aum lheh jengin, kichat aum lheh jeng’e. Koiham hiche nikho dou jou ding’a chu!
12 "Yet even now," says the LORD, "turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning."
Hiche jeh chun Pakaiyin aseije, “Phat umpetin ka hengah hung kiheijun, Na lungthim’u neipeuvin. Anngol pum, kap pumin Chuleh lhase pumin, hungun.
13 Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to the LORD, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.
Lhase pumin na ponsil bot’eh hihun, ahin na lungsungu bot tel jouvin. Na Pakai na Pathen henga hung kile kitun. Ama mikhoto leh lungset them ahijehin lunghang vahlou chuleh ngilutna dimset ahi. Thilsea kon’a alung khelji thei ahi.
14 Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to the LORD, your God.
Ama kisih henlang kile heikit jong leh kon ija ahet ding ham? chule anunga phatthei bohna lhosoh thilto hihen lengpitwi thilto hijong leh masanga banga Pakai na Pathena ding ahi.
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion. Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.
Jerusalem a sumkon kimutun lang, anngol ding phat phongdoh un, mipite koukhomun, phattheiboh pumin kikhom’un.
16 Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride out of her chamber.
Mijouse khom’un, upa ho, chapangho chuleh chapangsen geijin, Mouneipu chu aumna dan sunga kon in koudoh hen.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, "Spare your people, LORD, and do not give your heritage to mockery, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"
Pakai umna muna Pakai lhacha kin bol’a pang Thempupa chu hongcha le Maicham kikah laiya chun ding hen lang kap uhen, taona mang hen. “Pakai! namite hoidohin! tin.
18 Then the LORD was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.
Pakaiyin amite lungset hen chuleh thangset’in amite gamsung vengtup hen.
19 The LORD answered his people, "Look, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will eat and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
Pakaiyin donbut nante.“Ven! keiman changleh lengpiga thah chuleh olive thao, nangaichat lhingsetin kahin thot’e, Chuteng leh nava a naneh uva, chimsetna na dondiu ahi; chutah leh kenjong namtin vaipi laha seiset’a ka umsah lou dingu ahitai.
20 But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise." Surely he has done great things.
Keiman hiche galmi hohi sahlam gamkal’a kadalmong diu ahi. Keiman Amaho hi gamjao laha kasol mong ding ahi. Amasanga pangho jong twipi thia kadellut ding, chu a anai lama umho jong Mediterranan dillen’a kadellut ding ahi. Chutah le thillui namlet lutin kitungdoh inte, ajeh chu Pakaiyin thil lentah aboldoh tai.
21 Land, do not be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things.
Kichahihun, kamite. Kipah unlang thanomun, Pakaiyin thil lentahho abol jeh'in.
22 Do not be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
Kichahihun gamsunga gamsa ho jouse, gamsunga hampa ho gang taha Hung dondoh thah kitna eng kit ding ahi. Thingphung jouse jong hung ga kit ding ahi. Theichang phung leh Lengpi gui jong lhingsetin aga kitlhon tai.
23 "Be glad then, you people of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
Kipahun, nangho Jerusalema um mite, kipahun na Pakai Pathen a. Akitahna vetsahna dingin aman gotwi ahin juhsah tai, chavang laiya jong ajuh sah kit ding chuleh gojuh lai jeng’a jong ajuh sah ding ahi.
24 The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
Changphol jouse jong chang dimsoh ding, chule umle bel jouse jong lengpitwi le Olive thao letlhasohhel ding ahi.
25 I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
Pakaiyin aseije, “Na mansah jouse namu kit ding ahi.” Thing lung nehjou sa, lungmul neh jousa, lungtol leh khaokhopi ten aneh jousa ho cheng na nungmu kit diu ahi. Nangma douna a hiche galmi hattah ho hinsol chu keima kahi.
26 You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of the LORD, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never be put to shame.
Nehle chah nangaichat jouse namu kit ding ahi, chuleh na Pakai na Pathen na thangvah kit ding ahi, chutia chu, kamite chun jachatna amukitlou diu ahitai.
27 You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never be put to shame.
Chuteng leh keima kami Israelte laha aum’e ti nahet ding’u ahi, chule Keima na Pakai na Pathenu hing ting, chuleh Pathen dang aum poi ti nahet diu, chutia chu kamiten jachatna amukitlou heldiu ahitai.
28 "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.
“Chuteng leh hichengse kibol jouva hi keiman ka Lhagao mijouse chunga ka buhlhah ding, nachapateu le nachanuteuvin gaothu aphondoh uva, na upa houvin mang amatdiu chuleh na gollhang houvin Lhagao thilmu anei diu ahi.
29 And also on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
Hiche nikho teng chule sohte chung jenga jong, pasal le numei chunga jong ka Lhagao ka buhlhah ding ahi.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.
Chuleh vana thil kidang kaso saha chule leiset chunga hi thisan le meikong chuleh meikhu a melchihna kavetsah ding ahi.
31 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
Nisa hung thim ding chuleh Lha thisan hung soh ding, Pakai nikho tijat umtah leh loupitah hunglhun masanga hicheng hi hungsoh ding ahi.
32 And it will happen that whoever will call on the name of the LORD shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the remnant, those whom the LORD calls.
Chutengleh Pakai mina tao chan chu kihuhhing ding ahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin asei masatsa ahingdoh ho laha Pakaiyin akoudoh umding mong ahi, tia asei banga chu Zion Molsang, Jerusalem sunga ahing doh ho lah’a Pakaiyn akoudoh umtei ding ahi.
