Jeremiah 47
1 This is the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, e ku e i na Pilisetia mamua o ko Parao anai ana ia Gaza.
2 This is what the Lord says: Look at the waters rising from the north! They will become an overflowing river that sweeps across the country and everything in it, flooding the towns and everyone's homes. The people will cry out for help; everyone who lives in the country will weep,
Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, ke pii mai nei na wai, mai ke kukulu akau mai, a e lilo i wai kahe, a e halana mai no maluna o ka aina, a maluna o kona mau mea a pau e piha'i, o ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe e noho la maloko; alaila, e uwe ai na kanaka, a e aoa hoi ka poe a pau o noho la ma ka aina.
3 as they hear the sound of stallions charging, the rattling of chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Fathers won't go back to help their sons—they have no strength because they're terrified.
No ka halulu o ka hahi ana o na maiuu o kona mau lio, a no ka holo ikaika ana o kona mau kaakaua, a me ke kani ana o kona mau kaa, aole e nana ihopo na makuakane i na keiki, no ka nawaliwali o na lima.
4 The day has arrived when all the Philistines will be destroyed, when Tyre and Sidon will have no more allies to help them. The Lord is going to destroy the Philistines, those who are left from the island of Crete.
No ka la e hiki mai ana, e anai loa i na Pilisetia a pau, a e hooki aku, mai Turo, a mai Zidona aku i na mea kokua a pau i koe; no ka mea, e anai loa no o Iehova i na Pilisetia, i ke koena hoi o ka moku o Kapetora.
5 The people of Gaza will shave their heads; the town of Ashkelon lies in ruins. You who are left on the coastal plain, how long will you go on cutting yourself?
Ua hiki mai ka ohule maluna o Gaza, ua hooki loa ia o Asekelona, o ke koena hoi o ke awawa. Pehea la ka loihi o kou okioki ana ia oe iho?
6 Oh sword of the Lord, when are you going to stop killing? Go back in your sheath. Stop killing and stay there!
E ka pahikaua o Iehova, pehea la ka loihi, a moe oe? e hoihoi ae ia oe iho ma kau wahi; e hoomaha, a e noho malie.
7 But how can the sword stop killing when the Lord has given it orders to attack Ashkelon and its coastlands?
Pehea la e hiki ai ia ia ke moe? No ka mea, ua kauoha o Iehova ia ia e ku e ia Asekelona, i ko kahakai. Malaila kona kuhikuhi ana ia ia.
