Jeremiah 47

1 The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.

Okwu Onyenwe anyị nke ruru Jeremaya onye amụma ntị banyere ndị Filistia. Okwu ndị a bịara tupu Fero ebuso obodo Gaza agha.

2 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,

Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, “Lee ka mmiri si ala elu nʼakụkụ ugwu; ha ga-aghọkwa mmiri nke na-erubiga oke. Ha ga-erukwasị ala ahụ, kpuchiekwa ihe niile dị nʼime ya, ọ ga-ekpuchikwa obodo niile dị nʼala ahụ, na ndị bi nʼime ya. Ndị niile bi nʼala ahụ ga-eti mkpu akwa, mmadụ niile ga-akwasikwa akwa ike.

3 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels: fathers shall not look back for [their] children, from feebleness of hands;

Mgbe ha ga-anụ ụzụ ikiri ụkwụ nke ọtụtụ ịnyịnya, nke na-agbata ọsọ na-abịa nʼebe ha nọ, mgbe ha ga-anụkwa ụzụ ụgbọ agha ndị iro, na ụzụ nzọ ụkwụ igwe ha. Nʼoge ahụ, ndị bụ nna agaghị enwe ike nyere ụmụ ha aka, nʼihi na aka ha ga-akụda nʼakụkụ ha.

4 because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.

Nʼihi na ụbọchị ahụ abịala mgbe a ga-ebibi ndị Filistia niile, mgbe a ga-ebipụ ndị niile fọdụrụ, ndị nwere ike inyere obodo Taịa na Saịdọn aka. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị akwadoola ibibi ndị Filistia, o kwadoola ibibi ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼọnụ mmiri Kafto.

5 Baldness is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

Gaza ga-akpụcha isi ya nʼọnọdụ iru ụjụ. A ga-eme ka Ashkelọn dere duu. Ruo ole mgbe ka unu ga-anọgide na-egbukasị onwe unu ahụ, unu bụ ndị fọdụrụ afọdụ bi nʼala dị larịị?

6 Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

“‘Ewoo, gị mma agha Onyenwe anyị, ole mgbe ị ga-ezu ike? Mịnye onwe gị nʼọbọ gị, kwụsị ịkpa ike gị ma dere duu.’

7 How shouldest thou be quiet? — For Jehovah hath given it a charge: against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.

Ma ọ ga-esikwanụ aṅaa zuru ike, ebe ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị nyere ya iwu ibu agha megide Ashkelọn, na ndị bi nʼọnụ mmiri oke osimiri?”
