< Jeremiah 47 >
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na bato ya Filisitia liboso ete Faraon abundisa Gaza:
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.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala ndenge nini mayi ezali kotomboka na nor, etondi lokola ebale oyo etondi mayi; ekozindisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso kati na yango, bingumba mpe bavandi na yango nyonso. Bato bakoganga, bavandi nyonso ya mokili bakolela
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;
tango bakoyoka makelele ya bampunda koleka na lombangu, lokito ya bashar ya banguna mpe makelele ya bapine na yango. Batata bakozala lisusu na tango te ya kosunga bana na bango mpo ete maboko na bango ekolemba.
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.
Pamba te mokolo ekoki mpo na kobebisa bato nyonso ya Filisitia mpe kosilisa koboma batikali nyonso oyo bakoluka kosunga bingumba Tiri mpe Sidoni. Yawe akomi pene ya kobebisa bato ya Filisitia, batikali ya esanga ya Kafitori.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza, Ashkelon is brought to nought, the remnant of their valley; how long wilt thou cut thyself?
Bakokokola suki ya moto ya Gaza lokola elembo ya matanga, Ashikeloni ekokanga monoko! Oh bino batikali kati na etando oyo ya lubwaku, kino tango nini bokotika komizokisa?
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.
Bozali koganga: ‹ Ah mopanga ya Yawe, okopema tango nini? Zonga na ebombelo na yo, tika koboma mpe zala kimia! ›
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.
Kasi ndenge nini ezala kimia tango Yawe apesi yango mitindo ya kobundisa Ashikeloni mpe mikili oyo ezali pembeni ya ebale monene? »
