< Jeremiah 47 >

1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smiteth Gaza:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na bato ya Filisitia liboso ete Faraon abundisa Gaza:
2 'Thus said Jehovah: Lo, waters are coming up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fulness, The city, and the inhabitants in it, And men have cried out, And howled hath every inhabitant of the land.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala ndenge nini mayi ezali kotomboka na nor, etondi lokola ebale oyo etondi mayi; ekozindisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso kati na yango, bingumba mpe bavandi na yango nyonso. Bato bakoganga, bavandi nyonso ya mokili bakolela
3 From the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, the noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned unto sons, From feebleness of hands,
tango bakoyoka makelele ya bampunda koleka na lombangu, lokito ya bashar ya banguna mpe makelele ya bapine na yango. Batata bakozala lisusu na tango te ya kosunga bana na bango mpo ete maboko na bango ekolemba.
4 Because of the day that hath come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off to Tyre and to Zidon every helping remnant. For Jehovah is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
Pamba te mokolo ekoki mpo na kobebisa bato nyonso ya Filisitia mpe kosilisa koboma batikali nyonso oyo bakoluka kosunga bingumba Tiri mpe Sidoni. Yawe akomi pene ya kobebisa bato ya Filisitia, batikali ya esanga ya Kafitori.
5 Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself?
Bakokokola suki ya moto ya Gaza lokola elembo ya matanga, Ashikeloni ekokanga monoko! Oh bino batikali kati na etando oyo ya lubwaku, kino tango nini bokotika komizokisa?
6 Ho, sword of Jehovah, till when art thou not quiet? Be removed unto thy sheath, rest and cease.
Bozali koganga: ‹ Ah mopanga ya Yawe, okopema tango nini? Zonga na ebombelo na yo, tika koboma mpe zala kimia! ›
7 How shall it be quiet, And Jehovah hath given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? There hath He appointed it!'
Kasi ndenge nini ezala kimia tango Yawe apesi yango mitindo ya kobundisa Ashikeloni mpe mikili oyo ezali pembeni ya ebale monene? »
