< Jeremiah 47 >

1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
Faro mah Gaza tuh ai naah, Philistin kawng pongah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe,
2 Thus saith the LORD: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and they 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 wail.
Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah aluek bangah tui to len tahang, tui uemhaih mah pha ueloe, prae hoi a thungah kaom hmuennawk boih, vangpui hoi a thung ih kaminawk to uem boih tih; to naah kaminawk qah o ueloe, prae thungah kaom kaminawk to hang o boih tih.
3 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 look not back to their children for feebleness of hands;
Misanawk ih hrang khok tuenh, hrang lakoknawk ih atuen, hrang lakok khok tuennawk pongah, ampanawk ih bantha to zok o moe, a caanawk doeh khen o thai ai boeh;
4 Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth; for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
Philistin kaminawk amro boihhaih ni, Tura hoi Sidon abomh hanah anghmat kaminawk phreak boihhaih ni loe phak boeh; Angraeng mah Philistin kaminawk Kaptor prae ih anghmat kaminawk to amrosak tih boeh.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is brought to nought, the remnant of their valley; how long wilt thou cut thyself?
Gaza loe sam to aat boih tih; Ashkelon doeh kanghmat azawnnawk hoi nawnto amrosak boeh; nasetto maw nangmah hoi nangmah to nang aah khing han vop?
6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? Put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
Aw Angraeng ih sumsen nang, anghngai duem ai ah nasetto maw na oh han vop? Nangmah ih tabu thungah pacaeng ah, anghak ah loe om duem lai ah,
7 How canst thou be quiet? for the LORD hath given it a charge; against Ashkelon, and against the sea-shore, there hath He appointed it.
toe Ashkelon hoi tuipui taeng to tuk hanah, Angraeng mah lokpaek boeh pongah, kawbangmaw nang hak thai tih?
