Jeremiah 47

1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens Palestyns, bifor that Farao smoot Gaza.

Ansa na Farao bɛto ahyɛ Gasa so no, yei ne Awurade asɛm a ɛfa Filistifoɔ ho a ɛbaa odiyifoɔ Yeremia nkyɛn:

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,

Sei na Awurade seɛ: “Monhwɛ sɛdeɛ nsuo retue wɔ atifi fam; ɛbɛbu afa asase no ne biribiara a ɛwɔ soɔ so, nkuro no ne nnipa a wɔtete mu. Nnipa no bɛteateam; wɔn a wɔte asase no so nyinaa bɛtwa adwo

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,

ɛberɛ a wɔate apɔnkɔ a wɔdi mmirika no nan ase nnyegyeɛ, na wɔate atamfoɔ no nteaseɛnam gyegyeegye ne wɔn ntwahonan nnyegyeɛ. Agyanom rentwa wɔn ani nhwɛ wɔn mma; wɔn nsa bɛsensɛn wɔn ho kwa.

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.

Na ɛda no aba sɛ wɔsɛe Filistifoɔ no nyinaa na wɔtwa wɔn a wɔaka no nyinaa gu, wɔn a anka wɔtumi boa Tiro ne Sidon no. Awurade rebɛsɛe Filistifoɔ no, nkaeɛfoɔ a wɔfiri Kreta mpoano no.

5 Ballidnesse cam on Gaza; Ascolon was stille, and the remenauntis of the valei of tho.

Gasa bɛbɔ tikwa ɛberɛ a ɔretwa adwo; wɔbɛma Askelon atɔre mum. Ao nkaeɛfoɔ a mowɔ tata so, mobɛsu akɔsi da bɛn?

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.

“Mosu sɛ, ‘Aa Awurade akofena, da bɛn na wobɛhome? Sane kɔhyɛ wo bɔha mu; gyae na da dinn.’

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?

Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na ada dinn ɛberɛ a Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ ɔnkoto nhyɛ Askelon ne mpoano no so?”
