< Joel 3 >

1 Hiche thilsoh laitah ding chu Pakaiyin aseije, “Chuteng chuleh keiman Juda gamsung leh Jerusalem khopi hamphatna kasemphat teng,
For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 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”.
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
3 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.
And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4 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.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
5 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.
Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
6 Nanghon Juda mite le Jerusalem khomite chu Greek mite henga na joh monguvin, gamgi kal lang peha nathah mong sohtauve.
The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
7 Ahin lah keiman na johmong namun uva kona ka nung lah kit ding ahi.
Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
8 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.
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for Yhwh hath spoken it.
9 Gaphong jaluvin hiche namtin vaipi laha. “Galsat dingin kigontauvin, gollhang thahat jouse kikoudohun, mithahat gollhang jouse kitilkhou soh kei’uvin.
Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
10 Na sehcha’u chemjamin kikhenun, na kangkuiju chu tengchan kikhen unlang, milhasam tah jong chun “Galhat kahije” tin seijuhen.
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
11 Kintahin kikhom loiyun, akimvella um natin vaipi jouse phaichama hung kihom loiyun. Chuleh tun, Aw Pakai nagal mite koudoh in.
Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O Yhwh.
12 Namtin vaipi amaho leh amaho hungkon uhen, Jehosaphet phaicham a Kijot uhen, Keima, Pakai in hichea chu katouva Thu katan ding ahi.
Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
13 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.
Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the pressfats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
14 Thutanna phaicham a asang asangin angah tai, Pakai nikho chu hung lhungvah ding ahitai.
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of Yhwh is near in the valley of decision.
15 Nisa le lhathah hung thim ding, chule ahsi ho jong vahta louding ahi.
The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
16 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.
Yhwh also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: But Yhwh will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
17 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.
So shall ye know that I am Yhwh your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
18 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.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of Yhwh, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
19 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.
Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 “Ahinlah Juda gamhi a imatih chana amite dimset ding, chuleh Jerusalem Jong akhang khanga amiten kichenpi ding ahi.
But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 Keiman kamite asuhkhel nau ka ngaidam ding chuleh keima Pakai in Jerusalem a, ka mite jouse toh ka in ka sah ding ahi.”
For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for Yhwh dwelleth in Zion.
