< Jeremiah 47 >

1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh struck down Gaza.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a profeta maipapan kadagiti Filisteo. Immay daytoy a sao kenkuana sakbay a rinaut ni Faraon ti Gaza.
2 This is what the LORD says: “See how the waters are rising from the north and becoming an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and its fullness, the cities and their inhabitants. The people will cry out, and all who dwell in the land will wail
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, dumakdakkel ti danum idiay amianan. Kaiyarigandanto iti agluplupias a karayan! Ket lapunusendanto ti daga ken ti amin a banag nga adda iti daytoy, dagiti siudad ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy! Isu nga agpukkawto ti tunggal maysa tapno agpatulong, ken agdung-awto dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga.
3 at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels. The fathers will not turn back for their sons; their hands will hang limp.
Gapu iti dalagudog iti panagbaddek dagiti kuko ti napipigsa a kabalioda, gapu iti karadakad dagiti karuaheda ken iti anit-it dagiti pilidda, saanto a matulongan dagiti amma dagiti annakda gapu iti kinakapsutda.
4 For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.
Ta dumtengto ti aldaw a pannakadadael dagiti amin a Filisteo, a maikkat manipud iti Tiro ken Sidon ti tunggal nakalasat a mangayat a mangtulong kadakuada. Ta dadaeleton ni Yahweh dagiti Filisteo, dagiti nagtalinaed iti isla ti Kaptor.
5 The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?
Dumtengto ti pannakakalbo iti Gaza. No maipapan met iti Askelon, dagiti tattao a nabati iti tanapda ket mapaulimekto. Kasano kapaut ti panangsugatmo iti bagim iti panagladladingitmo?
6 ‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’
Asika pay, kampilan ni Yahweh! Kasano pay kabayag aginngga nga agulimekka? Agsublika iti kalubam! Agsardeng ken agulimekka.
7 How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”
Kasano nga agulimekka, idinto ta binilinnaka ni Yahweh. Imbaonnaka a mangraut iti Askelon ken dagiti adda iti igid ti baybay.”
