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.

This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines. This word came to him before Pharaoh attacked 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.

“Yahweh says this: See, floods of water are rising in the north. They will be like an overflowing river! Then they will overflow the land and everything in it, its cities and its inhabitants! So everyone will shout for help, and all the inhabitants of the land will lament.

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 sound of the stamping of their strong horses' hooves, at the roar of their chariots and the noise of their wheels, fathers will not help their children because of their own weakness.

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.

For the day is coming that will devastate all of the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every survivor who wants to help them. For Yahweh is devastating the Philistines, those who remain from the island 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 will come upon Gaza. As for Ashkelon, the people who are left in their valley will be made silent. How long will you cut yourself in 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.

Woe, sword of Yahweh! How long will it be until you become silent? Go back to your scabbard! Stop and be silent.

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.

How can it rest when Yahweh has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coastlands along the sea?”
