Jeremias 47
1 Mao kini ang pulong ni Yahweh nga miabot kang Jeremias nga propeta mahitungod sa mga Filistihanon. Miabot kini nga pulong kaniya sa wala pa gisulong sa Faraon ang Gaza.
The word that came from the Lord to Jeremias, after that Nabuzardan the captain of the guard had let him go out of Rama, when he had taken him in manacles in the midst of the captivity of Juda, [even] those who were carried to Babylon.
2 “Miingon si Yahweh niini: Tan-awa, motungha ang lunop gikan sa amihanan. Mahisama kini sa milapaw nga suba! Unya lunopan niini ang yuta ug ang tanang anaa niini, ang mga siyudad ug ang mga lumolupyo niini! Busa mosinggit sa pagpakitabang ang tanang tawo, ug magbangotan ang tanang lumolupyo sa yuta.
And the chief captain of the guard took him, and said to him, The Lord thy God has pronounced all these evils upon this place:
3 Sa dahunog sa kusgang mga tiil sa ilang mga kabayo, sa masaba nga mga ligid sa ilang mga karwahe, dili tabangan sa mga amahan ang ilang mga anak tungod sa ilang kaugalingon nga kaluyahon.
and the Lord has done it; because ye sinned against him, and hearkened not to his voice.
4 Tungod kay moabot na ang adlaw nga magalaglag sa tanang mga Filistihanon, aron puohon gikan sa Tiro ug sa Sidon ang tanang mga naluwas nga buot motabang kanila. Tungod kay laglagon man sa hingpit ni Yahweh ang tanang mga Filistihanon, kadtong nahibilin gikan sa isla sa Caftor.
Behold, I have loosed thee from the manacles that were upon thine hands. If it seem good to thee to go with me to Babylon, then will I set mine eyes upon thee.
5 Magpaupaw ang mga taga Gaza. Bahin kang Askelon, manghilom ang mga tawo nga nahibilin sa ilang walog. Hangtod kanus-a paman ninyo samadsamaran ang inyong mga kaugalingon diha sa pagbangotan?
But if not, depart; return to Godolias the son of Achicam, the son of Saphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed governor in the land of Juda, and dwell with him in the midst of the people in the land of Juda: to whatsoever places it seems good in thine eyes to go, do thou even go. And the captain of the guard made him presents, and let him go.
6 Pagkaalaot, espada ni Yahweh! Kanus-a ka pa man mohilom? Balik sa imong sakuban! Hunong ug pagpakahilom.
And he came to Godolias to Massepha, and dwelt in the midst of his people that was left in the land.
7 Unsaon man nimo pagpakahilom, nga gimandoan ka man ni Yahweh. Gipatawag ka niya aron sa pagsulong sa Askelon ug batok sa mga kabaybayonan.”
And all the leaders of the host that was in the country, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Godolias [governor] in the land, and they committed to him the men and their wives, whom [Nabuchodonosor had] not removed to Babylon.
And there came to Godolias to Massepha Ismael the son of Nathanias, and Joanan son of Caree, and Saraeas the son of Thanaemeth, and the sons of Jophe the Netophathite, and Ezonias son of the Mochathite, they and their men.
And Godolias swore to them and to their men, saying, Be not afraid before the children of the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be better for you.
And, behold, I dwell in your presence at Massepha, to stand before the Chaldeans who shall come against you: and do ye gather grapes, and fruits, and oil, and put [them] into your vessels, and dwell in the cities which ye have obtained possession of.
And all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the children of Ammon, and those [that were] in Idumea, and those [that were] in all [the rest of] the country, heard that the king of Babylon [had] granted a remnant to Juda, and that he had appointed over them Godolias the son of Achicam.
And they came to Godolias into the land of Juda, to Massepha, and gathered grapes, and very much summer fruit, and oil.
And Joanan the son of Caree, and all the leaders of the host, who were in the fields, came to Godolias to Massepha,
and said to him, Dost thou indeed know that king Beleissa son of Ammon has sent Ismael to thee to slay thee? But Godolias believed them not.
And Joanan said to Godolias secretly in Massepha, I will go now and smite Ismael, and let no man know [it]; lest he slay thee, and all the Jews that are gathered to thee be dispersed, and the remnant of Juda perish.
But Godolias said to Joanan, Do not the thing, for thou speakest lies concerning Ismael.
