Jeremiah 47
1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens Palestyns, bifor that Farao smoot Gaza.
Hili ni neno la Yahwe lililokuja kwa Yeremia nabi juu ya Wafilisiti. Neno hili lilimjia kabla Farao hajaishambulia Gaza.
2 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! watris schulen stie fro the north, and tho schulen be as a stronde flowynge, and tho schulen hile the lond, and the fulnesse therof, the citee, and the dwelleris therof. Men schulen crie, and alle the dwelleris of the lond schulen yelle,
“Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama, mafuriko ya maji yanainuka huko kaskazini. Yatakuwa kama mto uliofurika! Kisha yataigharikisha nchi na kila kitu ndani yake, miji yake na watu wakaao ndani yake! Kila mtu atapiga kelele ya kuomba msaada, na wakaaji wote wa nchi wataomboleza.
3 for the noise of boost of armed men, and of werriours of hym, and for mouyng of hise cartis, and multitude of hise wheelis. Fadris bihelden not sones with clumsid hondis,
Kwa sauti ya kukanyaga kwa kwato za farasi wao wenye nguvu, kwa mwungurumo wa vibandawazi vyao na kelele za magurudumu yao, wazazi hawatawasaidia watoto wao kwa sababu ya udhaifu wao.
4 for the comyng of the dai in which alle Filisteis schulen be destried; and Tirus schal be destried, and Sidon with alle her othere helpis. For the Lord hath destried Palestyns, the remenauntis of the ile of Capadocie.
Kwa maana siku inakuja itakayowaacha ukiwa Wafilisiti wote, kumwondoa kila mtu aliyesalia anayetaka kuwasaidia. Kwa maana Yahwe anawaangamiza Wafilisiti, waliosalia katika kisiwa cha Kaftori.
5 Ballidnesse cam on Gaza; Ascolon was stille, and the remenauntis of the valei of tho.
Maombolezo yatakuja juu ya Gaza. Hata kwa Ashikeloni, watu waliosalia bondeni watakuwa kimya. Ni kwa muda gani mtajiondoa katika maombolezo?
6 Hou longe schalt thou falle doun, O! swerd of the Lord, hou long schalt thou not reste? Entre thou in to thi schethe, be thou refreischid, and be stille.
Ole, upanga wa Yahwe! itachukua muda gani hata unyamaze? Rudini alani mwenu! Acha na unyamaze.
7 Hou schal it reste, whanne the Lord comaundide to it ayens Ascalon, and ayens the see coostis therof, and there hath seide to it?
Wawezaje kuwa kimya, maana Yahwe amekuagiza. Amekuamuru kumpiga Ashikeloni na dhidi ya nchi ya pwani ya bahari.
