1 Esia nye Yehowa ƒe nya si va na Nyagblɔɖila Yeremia tso Filistitɔwo ŋu hafi Farao va dze Gaza dzi:
Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning [the] Philistines before he struck Pharaoh Gaza.
2 Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: “Kpɔ ale si tɔwo le ɖɔɖɔm le anyiehe ɖa, woaɖɔ agbagba, anɔ sisim kple ŋusẽ. Woaɖɔ axɔ anyigba kple nu sia nu si le edzi, duwo kple wo me nɔlawo katã dzi. Ameawo alé avi me sesĩe eye ame siwo katã le anyigba dzi la, afa avi kple ɣli,
Thus - he says Yahweh here! waters [are] rising from [the] north and they will become a torrent overflowing and they may overflow a land and what fills it a city and [those who] dwell in it and they will cry out everyone and he will wail every inhabitant of the land.
3 nenye be wose sɔ siwo le du dzi la ƒe afɔzi kple futɔwo ƒe tasiaɖamwo ƒe hoowɔwɔ kple woƒe afɔtiwo ƒe totro. Fofowo matrɔ ɖe wo viwo ŋu be woakpe ɖe wo ŋu o elabena woƒe asi adɔ agblɔ ɖe wo ŋu,
From [the] sound of [the] stamping of [the] hooves of mighty [horses] its from [the] rattling of chariotry its [the] din of wheels its not they have turned back fathers to children from slackness of hands.
4 elabena ŋkeke la ɖo be woatsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo katã, eye woaɖe ame siwo tsi agbe la ɖa, ame siwo ate ŋu akpe ɖe Tiro kple Sidon ŋu. Esusɔ vie Yehowa natsrɔ̃ Filistitɔwo, ame siwo nye Kaftor ƒuta ƒe ame mamlɛawo.
On the day which is coming to devastate all [the] Philistines to cut off to Tyre and to Sidon every survivor helping for [is] about to devastate Yahweh [the] Philistines [the] remnant of [the] coastland of Caphtor.
5 Gaza ako ta kolikoli abe funyila ene, eye wòaɖo asi Askelon dzi be wòazi ɖoɖoe. O, mi ame siwo susɔ ɖe tagba, ɣe ka ɣie miasi mia ɖokuiwo ase ɖo?
It will come baldness to Gaza it will be silent Ashkelon O remnant of valley their until when? will you cut yourself.
6 “Èdo ɣli be, ‘Ao, Yehowa ƒe yi, ɣe ka ɣi hafi nàgbɔ ɖe eme? Tɔ, trɔ yi ɖe wò aku me eye nànɔ anyi kpoo.’
Alas! O sword of Yahweh until when? not you will be inactive gather yourself to sheath your rest and be still.
7 Aleke wòadzudzɔe esi wònye Yehowae ɖoe nɛ, esi wòɖe gbe nɛ be wòadze Askelon kple ƒutaduwo dzi?”
How? will you be inactive and Yahweh he has commanded it against Ashkelon and against [the] coast of the sea there he has appointed it.
