Jeremiah 47
1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:
Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mo nga Pirihitini i te mea kahore ano a Parao i patu noa i Kaha.
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.
Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, te puta mai nei nga wai i te raki, ka meinga hei waipuke e ngawha ana, a ka pokia te whenua me ona mea katoa, te pa me nga tangata e noho ana i roto: a ka hamama nga tangata, ka aue hoki nga tangata katoa o te when ua.
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,
Hei te haruru o te takahi o nga paua o ona hoiho kaha, hei te rorohu o ona hariata, hei te ngaehe o ona wira, kore iho nga matua e tahuri ki muri ki a ratou tamariki i te ngoikore hoki o nga ringa;
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.
Na, mo te ra e haere mai nei, e pahuatia ai nga Pirihitini katoa, e hatepea atu ai i Taira, i Hairona nga kaiawhina katoa e toe nei: ka pahuatia hoki e Ihowa nga Pirihitini, nga morehu o te motu, o Kapatoro.
5 Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
Kua tae te pakira ki runga ki Kaha; kua whakamotitia a Ahakerono, me te toenga ano o to ratou awaawa: kia pehea te roa o tau haehae i a koe?
6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
E te hoari a Ihowa, kia pehea te roa ka ata takoto ai koe? hoki atu ki roto ki tou kopaki: okioki, kati hoki tau.
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!”
Me pehea koe e ata takoto ai, kua hoatu nei hoki e Ihowa he whakahau ki a koe? he he mo Ahakerono, mo te tahatika hoki o te moana, kua whakaritea e ia ki reira.
