< Jeremiah 47 >
1 Meet liki tokosra lun Egypt el mweuni siti Gaza, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sik ke acn Philistia.
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2 El fahk: “Liye! Kof ac fah lapak layen epang Ac asrla oana soko infacl sronoti. Ac fah afunla acn uh ac ma nukewa fac — Siti uh ac elos su muta we. Mwet uh ac fah wowoyak in sukok kasru; Mwet nukewa fin faclu fah arulana tung.
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is in it; the city, and them that dwell in it: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 Elos fah lohng kusen kihmkim lun falken horse uh, Ac pusren kasrusr lun chariot, Ac erarrar lun wheel uh. Papa uh ac fah tia folokla in srukak tulik natulos, Mweyen paolos munasla ac atla siskalos.
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
4 Pacl in kunausla acn Philistia summa, Kain in kasru nukewa Ac fah wotla liki acn Tyre ac Sidon. Nga, LEUM GOD, fah kunausla mwet Philistia, Elos nukewa su tuku liki weacn Crete.
Because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Asor lulap sun tari mwet Gaza, Ac mwet Ashkelon elos misla tia kas. Mwet lula Philistia elos ac mwemelil nwe ngac?
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Kowos wowoyak ac fahk, “Cutlass nutin LEUM GOD! Kom ac uni mwet uh nwe ngac? Isongkomyang nu in mwe nuk lom an Ac mongla loac!’
O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be before thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7 Tusruktu el ac mongla fuka Ke nga sang tari orekma se kunal? Nga sapkin nu sel elan mweuni Ashkelon Ac mwet su muta weacn uh.”
How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
