Jeremiah 47
1 Egypt lengpan Philistine gam’a Gaza khopi alokhum masang chun, Pakai thusei hichehi Jeremiah themgao kom ahunglhung in;
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh had smitten 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 saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the North, And they shall become an overflowing torrent, And shall overflow the land, and all that is therein, —The city, and them that dwell therein; And the men shall cry aloud, And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
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.
At the noise of the stamping of the horses, At the rattling of his chariots, And at the rumbling of his wheels, Fathers look not back for their children, For 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 which cometh, To lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and from Sidon Every helper that remaineth. For Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, The remnant of the country 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 is come upon Gaza, Askelon is in ruins, And the remnant of their valley! How long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Vo Pakai chemjam, itgih phat le nakichol ding ham? Napai sunga kilekit inlang, kichol in thipbeh chan umtan.
Ah! sword of Jehovah, How long ere thou wilt be quiet? Retire into thy scabbard, Rest, and be still!
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 canst thou be at rest, Since Jehovah hath given thee a charge against Askelon, And against the coast of the sea? There hath he appointed it.
