< Jeremiah 47 >

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:
Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye mane obirone janabi Jeremia kuom jo-Filistia kapok Farao nomonjo Gaza:
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.
Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: “Neuru kaka pige gingore e yo nyandwat; ginibed ataro mopongʼ. Giniyieny e piny kod gimoro amora manie iye, mier gi jok modak eigi. Ji noywagi; jogo duto modak e piny nodengi.
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,
Ka giwinjo koko mar tiend farese ma giro, kod koko mar geche wasigu to gi moor tiend gechegi. Wuone ok nokony nyithindgi; lwetgi kalandhidhi nomaki.
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.
Nimar odiechiengʼ osechopo mondo otiek jo-Filistia duto, kendo gengʼo joma notony duto mane nyalo konyo Turo kod Sidon. Jehova Nyasaye ochiegni tieko jo-Filistia, jogo mane otony moa e dho nam mar Kaftor.
5 Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
Jo-Gaza noliel wigi manyiso ni gin gi kuyo; kendo jo-Ashkelon noket malingʼ thii. Yaye un joma otony manie pewe, unungʼadru nyaka kara angʼo?
6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
“Uywak ni, ‘Yaye ligangla mar Jehova Nyasaye, ibiro yweyo nyaka karangʼo? Dog ei olaloni; chungʼ kendo ilingʼ thi.’
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!”
To ere kaka onyalo yweyo ka Jehova Nyasaye owuon osechiko, ka osechiwo chik mondo omonj Ashkelon to gi dho nam?”
