Yeremiya 47
1 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Bafirisuuti nga Falaawo tannalumba Gaza nga kigamba nti:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Laba amazzi agatumbira mu bukiikakkono, galifuuka omugga ogwanjaala. Galyanjaala ku nsi ne mu bibuga byonna ebigirimu n’ababituulamu. Abantu balikaaba; bonna abali mu nsi baliwowoggana.
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 Olw’emisinde gy’embalaasi ezidduka n’okufuumuuka kw’amagaali g’omulabe era n’okuwuuma kwa nnamuziga, bakitaabwe tebajja kukyuka kuyamba baana baabwe, emikono gyabwe gya kulebera.
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 Kubanga olunaku lutuuse okuzikiriza Abafirisuuti bonna, n’okusalako bonna abandisigaddewo abandiyambye Ttuulo ne Sidoni. Mukama wa kuzikiriza Abafirisuuti abaasigalawo ku mbalama z’ekizinga Kafutoli.
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 Gaza alimwa omutwe gwe ng’akungubaga. Asukulooni alisirisibwa. Ggwe eyasigala mu kiwonvu, olituusa ddi okwesalaasala?
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 “‘Ayi ggwe ekitala kya Mukama Katonda, okaaba, obudde bunaatuuka ddi owummule? Ddayo mu kiraato kyo sirika teweenyeenya.’
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 Naye kiyinza kitya okuwummula nga Mukama y’akiragidde, ng’akiragidde okulumba Asukulooni n’olubalama lw’ennyanja?”
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.
