< Jeremiah 47 >

1 Egypt lengpan Philistine gam’a Gaza khopi alokhum masang chun, Pakai thusei hichehi Jeremiah themgao kom ahunglhung in;
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Sahlam gan’a kon twi ahungsoh in, gamsung pumpi ahinchup ding ahi. Hichun gamsung a ijakai: khopi ho leh asunga cheng mihem jouse, asuhgam helding ahi. Miho chu kicha tah’a, panpi ngaicha-a kap’a pending ahiuve.

because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.
5 Gaza lu akivoutol in, akijumso tai. Ashkelon jong athip dentai. Nangho Mediterranean twilen pang’a kon’a amoh chengse, itihchan nalhaset uva nakadiu ham?
Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?
6 Vo Pakai chemjam, itgih phat le nakichol ding ham? Napai sunga kilekit inlang, kichol in thipbeh chan umtan.
O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.
7 Ahivangin, Pakaiyin natong dinga asol chu, iti umthim beh ding ham? Ajeh chu Ashkelon khopi leh twilen panga chengho kisugam helding ahiuve, ati.
But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?”
