Jeremiah 47
1 This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines. This word came to him before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii, ĩkoniĩ andũ a Filisti, Firaũni atanatharĩkĩra Gaza:
2 “Yahweh says this: See, floods of water are rising in the north. They will be like an overflowing river! Then they will overflow the land and everything in it, its cities and its inhabitants! So everyone will shout for help, and all the inhabitants of the land will lament.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ta rora ũrĩa kĩguũ kĩa maaĩ kĩroima na kũu mwena wa gathigathini; nĩgĩgũtuĩka ta rũũĩ rũiyũru mũno, rũkoina. Megũtherera moinĩre bũrũri na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo, na moinĩre matũũra-inĩ na arĩa matũũraga kuo. Andũ nĩmagakaya; arĩa othe maikaraga bũrũri ũcio makaarĩra na magirĩke,
3 At the sound of the stamping of their strong horses' hooves, at the roar of their chariots and the noise of their wheels, fathers will not help their children because of their own weakness.
maigua mũkubio wa mbarathi igĩtengʼera, na inegene rĩa ngaari cia ita cia thũ ciao, o na mũrurumo wa magũrũ ma ngaari icio. Maithe ma ciana matikehũgũra mateithie ciana ciao; moko mao magaikara o ũguo maregerete.
4 For the day is coming that will devastate all of the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every survivor who wants to help them. For Yahweh is devastating the Philistines, those who remain from the island of Caphtor.
Nĩgũkorwo mũthenya nĩmũkinyu wa kũniina andũ a Filisti othe, na wa kweheria matigari mothe ma andũ arĩa mangĩteithia Turo na Sidoni. Jehova arĩ hakuhĩ kwananga andũ a Filisti, acio maatigaire kuuma hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Kafitori.
5 Baldness will come upon Gaza. As for Ashkelon, the people who are left in their valley will be made silent. How long will you cut yourself in mourning?
Andũ a Gaza makeenjwo njuĩrĩ macakae; Ashikeloni nakuo gũgaakira ki. Atĩrĩrĩ, inyuĩ matigari maya mũrĩ kũu werũ-inĩ, mũgũtũũra mwĩtemangaga nginya-rĩ?
6 Woe, sword of Yahweh! How long will it be until you become silent? Go back to your scabbard! Stop and be silent.
“Mũrarĩra mũkooria atĩrĩ, ‘Wee, rũhiũ rwa njora rwa Jehova-rĩ, ũgũthiĩ na mbere nginya rĩ ũngĩkaahurũka? Wĩcookie njora-inĩ; hurũka na ũkire o ro ũguo.’
7 How can it rest when Yahweh has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coastlands along the sea?”
No rĩrĩ, rũngĩkĩhuurũka atĩa, o rĩrĩa arĩ Jehova ũrwathĩte, o rĩrĩa arwĩrĩte rũtharĩkĩre Ashikeloni, o na kũu ndwere-inĩ cia iria?”
