Ieremia 47
1 KA olelo a Iehova i hiki mai ia Ieremia, i ke kaula, e ku e i na Pilisetia mamua o ko Parao anai ana ia Gaza.
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh had smitten Gaza.
2 Ke i mai nei o Iehova penei; Aia hoi, ke pii mai nei na wai, mai ke kukulu akau mai, a e lilo i wai kahe, a e halana mai no maluna o ka aina, a maluna o kona mau mea a pau e piha'i, o ke kulanakauhale, a me ka poe e noho la maloko; alaila, e uwe ai na kanaka, a e aoa hoi ka poe a pau o noho la ma ka aina.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the North, And they shall become an overflowing torrent, And shall overflow the land, and all that is therein, —The city, and them that dwell therein; And the men shall cry aloud, And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 No ka halulu o ka hahi ana o na maiuu o kona mau lio, a no ka holo ikaika ana o kona mau kaakaua, a me ke kani ana o kona mau kaa, aole e nana ihopo na makuakane i na keiki, no ka nawaliwali o na lima.
At the noise of the stamping of the horses, At the rattling of his chariots, And at the rumbling of his wheels, Fathers look not back for their children, For feebleness of hands,
4 No ka la e hiki mai ana, e anai loa i na Pilisetia a pau, a e hooki aku, mai Turo, a mai Zidona aku i na mea kokua a pau i koe; no ka mea, e anai loa no o Iehova i na Pilisetia, i ke koena hoi o ka moku o Kapetora.
Because of the day which cometh, To lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and from Sidon Every helper that remaineth. For Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Ua hiki mai ka ohule maluna o Gaza, ua hooki loa ia o Asekelona, o ke koena hoi o ke awawa. Pehea la ka loihi o kou okioki ana ia oe iho?
Baldness is come upon Gaza, Askelon is in ruins, And the remnant of their valley! How long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 E ka pahikaua o Iehova, pehea la ka loihi, a moe oe? e hoihoi ae ia oe iho ma kau wahi; e hoomaha, a e noho malie.
Ah! sword of Jehovah, How long ere thou wilt be quiet? Retire into thy scabbard, Rest, and be still!
7 Pehea la e hiki ai ia ia ke moe? No ka mea, ua kauoha o Iehova ia ia e ku e ia Asekelona, i ko kahakai. Malaila kona kuhikuhi ana ia ia.
But how canst thou be at rest, Since Jehovah hath given thee a charge against Askelon, And against the coast of the sea? There hath he appointed it.
