Jeremiah 47

1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.

Sa ki te vini kon pawòl SENYÈ a de Jérémie, pwofèt la, konsènan Filisten yo, avan Farawon te fin bat peyi Gaza.

2 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is in it; the city, and them that dwell in it: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Gade byen, dlo yo ap leve soti nan nò e l ap vin fè yon gwo fòs inondasyon dlo k ap debòde jis li vin kouvri latè ak tout kapasite l, menm vil a sila ki rete ladann. Mesye yo va kriye fò, e tout moun ladann va rele anmwey.

3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

Akoz bri zago cheval li k ap kouri rèd, zen a cha li yo, ak gwonde a wou yo, papa yo pa p retounen pran pitit yo, men men yo va lage nèt ak sezisman.

4 Because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

Akoz jou k ap vini pou detwi tout Filisten yo, pou koupe retire nèt de Tyr ak Sidon tout soutyen ki rete yo; paske SENYÈ a ap detwi Filisten yo, retay a kot Caphtor a.

5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

Gaza vin chòv; Askalon te fin detwi nèt. O retay vale yo! Pandan konbyen de tan nou va blese pwòp chè nou?

6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be before thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

“‘Ah nepe SENYÈ a! Pandan konbyen de tan ou va refize vin kalm? Ralanti, rantre nan fouwo a; repoze e rete trankil.’

7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.

“Kòman li ka kalm, lè SENYÈ a bay li lòd? Kont Ashkalon, kont kot lanmè a; Se la, Li te ranje pou l te fèt.”
