Jeremia 47
1 Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye mane obirone janabi Jeremia kuom jo-Filistia kapok Farao nomonjo Gaza:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Neuru kaka pige gingore e yo nyandwat; ginibed ataro mopongʼ. Giniyieny e piny kod gimoro amora manie iye, mier gi jok modak eigi. Ji noywagi; jogo duto modak e piny nodengi.
"Thus says the LORD: 'Look, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 Ka giwinjo koko mar tiend farese ma giro, kod koko mar geche wasigu to gi moor tiend gechegi. Wuone ok nokony nyithindgi; lwetgi kalandhidhi nomaki.
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4 Nimar odiechiengʼ osechopo mondo otiek jo-Filistia duto, kendo gengʼo joma notony duto mane nyalo konyo Turo kod Sidon. Jehova Nyasaye ochiegni tieko jo-Filistia, jogo mane otony moa e dho nam mar Kaftor.
because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
5 Jo-Gaza noliel wigi manyiso ni gin gi kuyo; kendo jo-Ashkelon noket malingʼ thii. Yaye un joma otony manie pewe, unungʼadru nyaka kara angʼo?
Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
6 “Uywak ni, ‘Yaye ligangla mar Jehova Nyasaye, ibiro yweyo nyaka karangʼo? Dog ei olaloni; chungʼ kendo ilingʼ thi.’
You sword of the LORD, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."
7 To ere kaka onyalo yweyo ka Jehova Nyasaye owuon osechiko, ka osechiwo chik mondo omonj Ashkelon to gi dho nam?”
How can it be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
