¹Zion ah pengkul mut unla ka tang siangthou ah kigalginna phuang un; hiai gamsunga mi tengteng ling uhen; TOUPA ni a hongtung ding, a naita ngala.

¹Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand:

²Mialna leh khonimna ni, mei kai ni leh mial sah ni, tang tunga phalvak vak hiuhiau bang; mipi thupi tak leh hat tak, huchibang om ngei nai lou, huai nunga suan tampi tana leng om nawn ngei sam lou ding.

²A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

³A ma ban uh meiin a kang sianga; a nung lamuh meikuangin a hula; ama uah gam lah Eden huan bang ahi, a nung lam uh gamdai gamkeu ahi a; ahi, bangmahin huai a pel ta kei uh.

³A 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.

⁴A latdan uh sakol latdan bang ahi; sakol tuangmi bangin a tai ua.

⁴Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and as horsemen, so do they run.

⁵Kidouna kangtalai ging bangin tang tungah a kilek suausuau ua, pawl kang kuang luahluah bang leh kidounaa mipi hat tak mansa bangin.

⁵Like 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 strong people set in battle array.

⁶A mau ah mipite a lau ua; a melmate uh a hongmual khin hi.

⁶At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.

⁷Mi hattak bangin a tai ua; kidou mi bangin bang ah a kah ua, a mau jawn chait ah a pai ua, a kivolhdan uh a hihbuai kei uh.

⁷They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.

⁸A kiphu kha tuan kei ua; a mau lampi ah a pai chait ua; galvante a nawk paisuak ua, a pial jak kei uhi.

⁸Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and don’t break ranks.

⁹Khopi tungah a tawm ua; kulh tungah a tai ua; in sungahte khawng a lawn tou ua; guta bangin tohletah te khawng a lut uh.

⁹They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.

¹⁰A ma uah lei a linga; van te a ling hi; ni leh kha a miala, aksiten a vak uh a sel ua;

¹⁰The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.

¹¹Huan, TOUPAN a sepaih honte maah a aw a suah a; a giah bukte lah a thupi ngala; a thu tangtungsakpa lah a hat ngala, TOUPA ni a thupiin a mulkim huai mahmah ngala, kuan a thuak thei dia?

¹¹Yahweh thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?

¹²TOUPAN, Huchi piin leng tuin na lungtang tengteng ua an ngawlin, kapin, lungkhamin kei lam hawngnga le uchin.

¹²“Yet even now,” says Yahweh, “turn to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”

¹³Na puan uh hi louin na lungtang uh botkek unla TOUPA na Pathian uh lam nga un; amah hehpih thei tak leh lainatnaa dim, lungnel leh chitna hau, thil hoih loua kipan kik nawn sek ahi, a chi a.

¹³Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity.

¹⁴TOUPA na Pathian uh kiangah tangbuang lat leh dawn ding latahte leng, kik nawnin, lungsim kik nawnin, vualjawlna nutsiatin a om kei ding chih kuan a theia?

¹⁴Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal offering and a drink offering to Yahweh, your God.

¹⁵Zionah pengkul mut unla, an ngawl hun tang siangthou unla, kikhoppi taksuak tak bawl un.

¹⁵Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly.

¹⁶Mipi khawmkhawm unla, kikhawm te hihsiangthou unla, putekte, naupangte, nawitui ne laite kai khawm unla; mouneita a dantan akipanin hongpawt henla mou leng a dantan sunggil akipanin hongpawt heh.

¹⁶Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride out of her room.

¹⁷Siampu, TOUPA nasemmite inlim leh maitam kikalah kap uhenla; Aw TOUPA, na mite hawi inla, na goutante gensiata oma namten a tung ua vai a hawmsak ding un pe ken; A Pathian uh koia om a hitaa, chiin a mipite lakah bangdia chi ding ahi ua? chi uheh.

¹⁷Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, “Spare your people, Yahweh, and don’t give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’”

¹⁸TOUPAN a gam thikthu se khopin a hawmthoha, a mite a hehpih,

¹⁸Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people.

¹⁹TOUPAN a mite kiangah, Ngai unla, na kiang uah buh te, uain te, sathau te ka hontung sak dinga, huaitein na tai ding ua; nam lakte ah gensiatin ka honomsak nawn het kei ding.

¹⁹Yahweh answered his people, “Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

²⁰Himahleh na kiang ua kipanin mal lam sepaih hon ka suan mang dinga, gam keu leh siaah ka pai sak ding, a masa pawl suahlam tuipi ah, a nanung pawl tum lam tupi ah; a hong uih khe dinga, nam se takin a hongnam ding, thil thupi tak a hih jiakin, chiin a dawnga.

²⁰But 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.

²¹Aw, gam, lau kenla nuamin kipak in; TOUPAN thil thupi takte a hihta ngala.

²¹Land, don’t be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for Yahweh has done great things.

²²Gante aw, lau kei un, gamdai loupa mun a hong sela, sing a honggaha, theipi kung leh grep gui a hong pha ngala.

²²Don’t 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.

²³Nou, Zion tate aw, kipak un, TOUPA na Pathian uah nuam un; vuah masa lah teh tehin a honpe ngala, nou dingin vuah a zu saka, kha khatnaa vuah masa leh vuah na nung.

²³“Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, 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.

²⁴Pialkhangte buhin a dom dinga, uain leh sathau belahte a dim let ding uh.

²⁴The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

²⁵Na lak ua ka sepaih hon tampi ka sawl, khaukhup te, singnget khaute, khauhonte, leh khaupeten a nek khit kum te nou ka hondin nawn ding hi.

²⁵I 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.

²⁶Tampi na ne ding ua, na tai ding ua, nou lamdang taka honngaihtuah sekpa TOUPA na Pathian min uh na phat ding uh; ka mite a zahlak ngei kei uh.

²⁶You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.

²⁷Huan Israelte lakah ka om chih leh TOUPA na Pathian uh ka hi a, kuamah dang a om kei uh chih na thei ding uh; ka mite a zahlak ngei kei uh.

²⁷You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahweh, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.

²⁸Huai nung chiangin hichi a honghi dinga, mi tengteng tungah ka kha ka sung ding; huchiin na tapate, na tanute un ka thu a gen ding ua, na putekte un mang a man ding ua, na tangvalte un kilaknate a mu ding uh;

²⁸“It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.

²⁹Huai ni khawng chiangin sikhapate, skhanute tungah leng ka kha ka sung ding.

²⁹And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, I will pour out my Spirit.

³⁰Vanah leh leiah thillamdangte ka musak dinga, sisan te, mei te, mei khu ding te toh.

³⁰I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, fire, and pillars of smoke.

³¹Ni mial a suak dinga, kha sisan a suak dinga, TOUPA ni thupi tak leh mulkimhuai tak a hongtun main.Huan, hichi ahi dinga, kuapeuh TOUPA min lou peuhmah hunbitin a om ding uh; TOUPA a gen bangin tai khete Zion tangah leh Jerusalem khuaah lah a om ngal ding ua, a om sunte lakah TOUPAN a sapte a om ding uhi.

³¹The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

³²Huan, hichi ahi dinga, kuapeuh TOUPA min lou peuhmah hunbitin a om ding uh; TOUPA a gen bangin tai khete Zion tangah leh Jerusalem khuaah lah a om ngal ding ua, a om sunte lakah TOUPAN a sapte a om ding uhi.

³²It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls.
