Jeremiah 47
1 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against the Philistines, —before Pharaoh smote Gaza:
Meet liki tokosra lun Egypt el mweuni siti Gaza, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke acn Philistia.
2 Thus, saith Yahweh—Lo! waters rising from the North And they shall become a torrent overflowing, Which shall overflow The land and the fulness thereof, The city, and the dwellers therein, —Then shall men make outcry, And all the inhabitants of the land, howl.
El fahk: “Liye! Kof ac fah lapak layen epang Ac asrla oana soko infacl sronoti. Ac fah afunla acn uh ac ma nukewa fac — Siti uh ac elos su muta we. Mwet uh ac fah wowoyak in sukok kasru; Mwet nukewa fin faclu fah arulana tung.
3 Because of the sound of the tramping of the hoofs of his chargers, Because of the rushing of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels Fathers shall not turn, to children, Because of the unnerving of their hands;
Elos fah lohng kusen kihmkim lun falken horse uh, Ac pusren kasrusr lun chariot, Ac erarrar lun wheel uh. Papa uh ac fah tia folokla in srukak tulik natulos, Mweyen paolos munasla ac atla siskalos.
4 On account of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and Zidon every escaped one that could have helped, —For Yahweh is laying waste the Philistines, The remnant of the Coastland of Caphtor.
Pacl in kunausla acn Philistia summa, Kain in kasru nukewa Ac fah wotla liki acn Tyre ac Sidon. Nga, LEUM GOD, fah kunausla mwet Philistia, Elos nukewa su tuku liki weacn Crete.
5 Baldness hath come, upon Gaza, Silenced is Ashkelon the remnant of their vale, —How long, wilt thou cut thyself?
Asor lulap sun tari mwet Gaza, Ac mwet Ashkelon elos misla tia kas. Mwet lula Philistia elos ac mwemelil nwe ngac?
6 Ah! thou sword of Yahweh, How long, wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, Rest thyself and be still.
Kowos wowoyak ac fahk, “Cutlass nutin LEUM GOD! Kom ac uni mwet uh nwe ngac? Isongkomyang nu in mwe nuk lom an Ac mongla loac!’
7 How, can it be quiet, when, Yahweh, hath given it a charge, —against Ashkelon and against the shore of the sea? There, hath he appointed it!
Tusruktu el ac mongla fuka Ke nga sang tari orekma se kunal? Nga sapkin nu sel elan mweuni Ashkelon Ac mwet su muta weacn uh.”
