Jeremiah 47

1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza.

Uthenga umene Yehova anamupatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za Afilisti, Farao asanathire nkhondo Gaza ndi uwu:

2 Thus saith the Lord: Behold there come up waters out of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent, and they shall cover the land, and all that is therein, the city and the inhabitants thereof: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,

Yehova akuti, “Taonani mmene madzi akubwerera kuchokera kumpoto; adzasanduka mtsinje wosefukira ndi a mkokomo. Adzasefukira mʼdziko monse ndi kumiza chilichonse mʼmenemo, mizinda ndi onse okhala mʼmenemo. Anthu adzafuwula; anthu onse okhala mʼdzikomo adzalira

3 At the noise of the marching of arms, and of his soldiers, at the rushing of his chariots, and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the children, for feebleness of hands,

akadzamva mgugu wa ngʼombe zazimuna zothamanga, phokoso la magaleta ake ndi kulira kwa mikombero yake. Makolo sadzatembenuka kuti athandize ana awo; manja awo adzangoti khoba.

4 Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.

Pakuti tsiku lafika lowononga Afilisti onse ndi kupha onse otsala, onse amene akanatha kuthandiza Turo ndi Sidoni. Yehova ali pafupi kuwononga Afilisti, otsala ochokera ku zilumba za ku Kafitori.

5 Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself?

Anthu a ku Gaza ameta mipala; anthu a ku Asikeloni akhala chete. Inu otsala a ku chigwa, mudzakhala mukudzichekacheka mpaka liti?

6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

“Mukulira kuti, ‘Aa, lupanga la Yehova, kodi udzapumula liti? Bwerera mʼmalo ako; ukhale momwemo ndipo ukhale chete.’

7 How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment for it?

Koma lupangalo lidzapumula bwanji pamene Yehova walilamulira kuti lithire nkhondo Asikeloni ndi anthu a mʼmbali mwa nyanja?”
