1Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, sound an alarm in my holy mountain, let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: because the day of the Lord cometh, because it is nigh at hand,
1Zion ah mongkah to ueng oh, kai ih kaciim mae ah acoehaih atuen to paek oh: prae thung kaom kaminawk boih tasoeh o nasoe; Angraeng ih ni loe angzoh boeh, zoi daek boeh.
2A day of darkness, and of gloominess, a day of clouds and whirlwinds: a numerous and strong people as the morning spread upon the mountains: the like to it hath not been from the beginning, nor shall be after it even to the years of generation and generation.
2Akhawnbang ah kanghaeh phang mae nui ih tamai baktiah, khovinghaih hoi kho tahmuephaih ni, kathah tamai hoi khovinghaih niah oh: canghnii ah kaom vai ai, angzo han koi hmabang atue ah doeh kaom vai ai, kapop moe, thacak kaminawk doeh angzoh o.
3Before the face thereof a devouring fire, and behind it a burning flame: the land is like a garden of pleasure before it, and behind it a desolate wilderness, neither is there any one that can escape it.
3Nihcae ih hmabang loe hmai mah kangh moe, nihcae hnukbang doeh hmaipalai mah kangh; nihcae mah tuh ai nathuem ah prae loe Eden takha baktiah oh, nihcae mah tuk pacoengah prae loe kapong sut praezaek baktiah oh; ue, nihcae loe mi doeh loih o mak ai.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, and they shall run like horsemen.
4Nihcae ih krang loe hrang baktih, hrang angthueng kami baktiah oh pongah, nihcae loe cawn o tih.
5They shall leap like the noise of chariots upon the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, as a strong people prepared to battle.
5Nihcae loe caphaeh hmai mah kang ih atuen baktih, thacak misatuh kaminawk misatuk han caeh o nathuem ih atuen baktih, hrang lakok tuen baktiah nihcae loe maesom nuiah angphet o tih.
6At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.
6Pop parai kaminawk loe nihcae hma ah nganbawh kana zok o; kaminawk loe mikhmai amnum o boih tih.
7They shall run like valiant men: like men of war they shall scale the wall: the men shall march every one on his way, and they shall not turn aside from their ranks.
7Nihcae loe thacak kaminawk baktiah cawn o tih; nichae loe misatuh kaminawk baktiah tapang pongah daw o tih; kaminawk loe angmacae ih loklam ah caeh o boih tih, nihcae loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen hoiah amkhraeng o mak ai:
8No one shall press upon his brother: they shall walk every one in his path: yea, and they shall fall through the windows, and shall take no harm.
8maeto hoi maeto anget o mak ai, angmacae ih loklam ah caeh o boih tih: sumsen salakah caeh o cadoeh, ahma caa o mak ai.
9They shall enter into the city: they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up the houses, they shall come in at the windows as a thief.
9Nihcae loe vangpui thungah ahnuk ahma cawn o tih, nihcae loe tapang nuiah cawn o tih; nihcae loe im nuiah daw o tahang ueloe, kamqu baktiah thokbuem hoiah akun o tih.
10At their presence the earth hath trembled, the heavens are moved: the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars have withdrawn their shining.
10Nihcae hma ah long anghuen tih, vannawk doeh tasoeh o tih; ni hoi khrah doeh ving rup ueloe, cakaehnawk mah doeh aanghaih to paek o mak ai boeh.
11And the Lord hath uttered his voice before the face of his army: for his armies are exceeding great, for they are strong and execute his word: for the day of the Lord is great and very terrible: and who can stand it?
11Angraeng mah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk hma ah lok to thui tih; thuih ih lok baktiah sah kami ih misatuh kaminawk loe pop o parai; Angraeng ih ni loe len parai moe, zit kaom ani ah oh: mi mah maw khaang thai tih?
12Now therefore saith the Lord: Be converted to me with all your heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning.
12To pongah vaihi doeh, Palungthin boih, buhzahhaih, qahhaih, palungsethaih hoiah kai khaeah amlaem oh, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.
13And rend your hearts, and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, patient and rich in mercy, and ready to repent of the evil.
13Khukbuen na ai, na palungthin to paek ah loe, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah amlaem ah: Anih loe mi tahmen thaih, palungnathaih tawn, palungphui han karai, pop parai tahmenhaih tawn, kahoih ai hmuen sakhaih thung hoi tahmen thaih Sithaw ah oh.
14Who knoweth but he will return, and forgive, and leave a blessing behind him, sacrifice and libation to the Lord your God?
14Angraeng na Sithaw khaeah cang, naek koi tui hoi angbawnhaih sak hanah, Anih loe poek amkhraih ueloe, tahamhoihaih caehtaak pacoengah, tahmenhaih tawn khoe doeh om tih, tiah mi mah maw panoek thai tih?
15Blow the trumpet in Sion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly,
15Zion ah mongkah to ueng ah loe, kaciim buhzahhaih to sak pacoengah, kaciim amkhuenghaih to sah oh;
16Gather together the people, sanctify the church, assemble the ancients, gather together the little ones, and them that suck at the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth from his bed, and the bride out of her bride chamber.
16kaminawk to pakhueng ah, amkhueng kaminawk to ciimcaisak ah; kacoehtanawk to kawkcu ah loe, nawksainawk hoi tahnu nae li nawktanawk to nawnto pakhueng ah; zu la kami loe angmah ih imthung hoi tacawt nasoe loe, sava sah tangla doeh angmah ih imthung hoiah tacawt nasoe.
17Between the porch and the altar the priests the Lord’s ministers shall weep, and shall say: Spare, O Lord, spare thy people: and give not thy inheritance to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them. Why should they say among the nations: Where is their God?
17Angraeng khae toksah qaimanawk loe, tempul thung ih tung hoi hmaicam salakah, qah o nasoe; Aw Angraeng, nangmah ih kaminawk to paquem ah, Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk mah patahhaih lok ah patoh o han ai ah, na qawk to kasae thui kaminawk khaeah paek hmah; nihcae ih Sithaw loe naa ah maw oh? tiah kaminawk salakah thuisak hmah, tiah lawkthui o nasoe.
18The Lord hath been zealous for his land, and hath spared his people.
18To tih nahaeloe Angraeng mah a prae to poek ueloe, angmah ih kaminawk to tahmen tih boeh.
19And the Lord answered and said to his people: Behold I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and you shall be filled with them: and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
19Ue, Angraeng mah lok pathim ueloe, angmah ih kaminawk khaeah, Khenah, nangcae hanah cang, misurtui hoi situi to kang pat han, to naah ni palung khuek na tih o vop tih; Sithaw panoek ai kaminawk salakah nangcae kasae thuihaih to ka sah mak ai boeh.
20And I will remove far off from you the northern enemy: and I will drive him into a land unpassable, and desert, with his face towards the east sea, and his hinder part towards the utmost sea: and his stench shall ascend, and his rottenness shall go up, because he hath done proudly.
20Aluek bang ih misatuh kaminawk to kangthla ah ka patoeh moe, praezaek hoi kapong sut ahmuen ah ka patoeh han boeh, anih ih ahma to ni angyae bang ih tuipui ah, anih ih ahnuk to niduem bang ih tuipui ah ka vah han: Anih mah kalen parai hmuen to sak boeh pongah, kaqong ahmui sae anih khae hoiah tacawt tih boeh.
21Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice: for the Lord hath done great things.
21Aw prae, zii hmah; Angraeng mah dawnrai hmuen to sak boeh pongah, anghoe ah loe oep ah!
22Fear not, ye beasts of the fields: for the beautiful places of the wilderness are sprung, for the tree hath brought forth its fruit, the fig tree, and the vine have yielded their strength.
22Taw ih moisannawk, zii o hmah; taw ih saphoinawk tacawt o boeh moe, thingnawk mah doeh athaih athai o let boeh; thaiduetkung hoi misurkung loe thacak o let boeh.
23And you, O children of Sion, rejoice, and be joyful in the Lord your God: because he hath given you a teacher of justice, and he will make the early and the latter rain to come down to you as in the beginning.
23Nangcae Zion caanawk, anghoe oh, Angraeng na Sithaw ah anghoe oh; anih mah khotui tangsuek to nangcae hanah ang paek, nangcae khaeah khotui tangsuek to angzohsak, khrah tangsuek naah hnukkhuem khotui to angzohsak.
24And the floors shall be filled with wheat, and the presses shall overflow with wine and oil.
24Cang atithaih ahmuen loe cang hoi koi tih, laom pui thungah misurtui kangtha hoi situi to koi tih.
25And I will restore to you the ears which the locust, and the bruchus, and the mildew, and the palmerworm have eaten; my great host which I sent upon you.
25Kalen pakhuh mah caak ih cangnawk, langkawk mah caak ih cangnawk, kalah pakhunawk hoi pakhunawk mah caak ih cangnawk, nangcae khaeah ka patoeh ih thacak kai ih misatuh kaminawk mah caak o ih, saningnawk to kang paek let han.
26And you shall eat in plenty, and shall be filled: and you shall praise the name of the Lord your God, who hath done wonders with you, and my people shall not be confounded for ever.
26Nangcae mah kapop ah na caa o ueloe, zok nam hah o tih, to naah nangcae han dawnrai hmuen kasah, Angraeng na Sithaw ih ahmin to na pakoeh o tih; Kai ih kaminawk loe natuek naah doeh azathaih tong o mak ai boeh.
27And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel: and I am the Lord your God, and there is none besides: and my people shall not be confounded for ever.
27To naah nangcae mah kai loe Israel kaminawk salakah ka oh, kai loe nangcae ih Angraeng Sithaw ni, kalah mi doeh om ai, tiah na panoek o tih. Kai ih kaminawk loe natuek naah doeh azathaih tong o mak ai boeh.
28And it shall come to pass after this, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
28To pacoengah, taksa boih nuiah ka Muithla ka paek han; na capanawk hoi na canunawk mah lok to taphong o tih, na mitongnawk mah amang sah o ueloe, na thendoengnawk mah hnuksakhaih to hnu o tih.
29Moreover upon my servants and handmaids in those days I will pour forth my spirit.
29To na niah loe ka tamna nongpanawk hoi ka tamna nongpatanawk nuiah doeh ka Muithla to ka paek han.
30And I will shew wonders in heaven; and in earth, blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke.
30Van hoi long ah dawnrai hmuennawk kam tuengsak han: athii longhaih, kangthawk hmai hoi hmaikhue to ka hnuksak han.
31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood: before the great and dreadful day of the Lord doth come.
31Zit kaom Angraeng ih ni kalen angzo ai naah, ni loe ving ueloe, khrah doeh athii ah angcoeng tih.
32And it shall come to pass, that every one that shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved: for in mount Sion, and in Jerusalem shall be salvation, as the Lord hath said, and in the residue whom the Lord shall call.
32Mi kawbaktih doeh Angraeng ih ahmin kawk kaminawk loe, pahlong ah om boih tih. Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, Zion mae hoi Jerusalem vangpui thungah, Angraeng mah kawk ih anghmat kaminawk loisakhaih to om tih.
