< Jeremiah 47 >

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:
Faro mah Gaza tuh ai naah, Philistin kawng pongah tahmaa Jeremiah khaeah angzo Angraeng ih lok loe,
2 “Thus said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.
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 From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From 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 has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island 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 has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
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 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
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 will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”
toe Ashkelon hoi tuipui taeng to tuk hanah, Angraeng mah lokpaek boeh pongah, kawbangmaw nang hak thai tih?
