Jeremiah 47
1 Egypt lengpan Philistine gam’a Gaza khopi alokhum masang chun, Pakai thusei hichehi Jeremiah themgao kom ahunglhung in;
That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes 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.
“Thus said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.
3 Sakol khoto gin pohlah lah’a ajahdiu, chule kangtalai kitolgin eojut jut’a ajah diu ahi. Mipate jouse chu kicha behseh uvintin, achateu jeng jong suhna ding helouva anusediu, kinunghei louhel’a jamgam diu ahiuve.
From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From feebleness of hands,
4 Nikho ahunglhung e, Philistine kisumang ding chule ama panpia Tyre leh Sidon jong kisumang ding ahi. Pakaiyin Philistine gam’a amoh chengse asuh gamding chule Crete twikol gam’a gachen den ho jong asuhgam ding ahi.
Because of the day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island of Caphtor.
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 come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
6 Vo Pakai chemjam, itgih phat le nakichol ding ham? Napai sunga kilekit inlang, kichol in thipbeh chan umtan.
Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
7 Ahivangin, Pakaiyin natong dinga asol chu, iti umthim beh ding ham? Ajeh chu Ashkelon khopi leh twilen panga chengho kisugam helding ahiuve, ati.
How will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”
