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.
Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah a message about the people of Philistia. [The message was given to me] before Gaza [city in Philistia] was captured by [the army of] Egypt.
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.
This is what Yahweh said: “[An army] [MET] will be coming from the northeast that will cover the land like a flood. They will destroy the land and everything in it; [they will destroy] people and cities. People will scream; everyone in the land will 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.
[They will hear] the sound of the hooves of the [enemy] horses, and [they will hear] the rumble/noise of the wheels [of their enemies’] chariots. Men [will run away; ] they will not stop to help their children; they will be completely weak and helpless [MTY].
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.
It will be the time for all the people of Philistia to be destroyed, and the time to prevent the remaining soldiers from helping [the people of] Tyre and Sidon [cities]. [I, ] Yahweh, will get rid of the people of Philistia, those whose ancestors [long ago] came from Crete [island].
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?
[The people of] Gaza will be humiliated; they will shave off all the hair on their heads [to indicate that they are ashamed]. The [people of] [city] will all be silent [because they will be mourning]. [All you people who live] along the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea] who are still alive, how long [RHQ] will you gash yourselves [because you are mourning]?”
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.
[The people of Philistia say, ] “Yahweh, when [RHQ] will you [tell our enemies to stop killing us with] [PRS] their swords? Tell them to [PRS] put them back into their sheaths and keep them there!”
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 it would not be right [RHQ] for their swords to stay there, because Yahweh has commanded their enemies [to do something more]; Yahweh intends to tell them to attack [all the people living in] Ashkelon and [in other cities] along the coast.
