Jeremia 47
1 Ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay tonga tamin’ i Jeremia mpaminany ny amin’ ny Filistina, fony Farao tsy mbola namely an’ i Gaza.
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before the time that Pharaoh smote Gazzah.
2 Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, misy rano mizotra avy any avaratra ka ho tonga ony maria manafotra ny tany mbamin’ izay rehetra ao aminy, dia ny tanàna mbamin’ izay monina ao aminy; Ka dia hitaraina ny olona, ary hidradradradra ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany.
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, waters are coming up out of the north, and they shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land, and what filleth it; the city, and those that dwell therein: and the men shall cry aloud, and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3 Noho ny fikatrokatroky ny kitron’ ny soavaliny matanjaka sy ny fikorodondrodon’ ny kalesiny ary ny fikotrototroky ny kodiany ny ray dia tsy miherika ny zanany, fa efa miraviravy tanana,
Because of the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stud-horses, because of the rushing sound of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels, fathers do not turn round to their children from their feebleness of hands;
4 Noho ny hihavian’ ny andro handravana ny Filistina rehetra sy handringanana izay sisa rehetra amin’ ny mpamonjy an’ i Tyro sy Sidona; Fa horavan’ i Jehovah ny Filistina, dia ny sisa avy any amin’ ny nosy Kaftora.
Because of the day that cometh to devastate all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth; for the Lord devastateth the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphthor.
5 Voaharatra Gaza, ringana Askelona mbamin’ ny sisa amin’ ny lohasahany; Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hitetika ny tenanao ianao?
Baldness is come upon Gazzah; ruined is Ashkelon with the remnant of their valley: how long yet wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Indrisy ry sabatr’ i Jehovah! Mandra-pahoviana no tsy hitsaharanao? Midìra ao amin’ ny tranonao ihany; Mitsahara, ka mijanòna.
Woe! thou sword of the Lord, how long yet wilt thou not be quiet? withdraw thyself into thy scabbard, take thee rest, and be still.
7 Hataony ahoana no fitsahatra. Fa Jehovah no nandidy azy, eny, hamely an’ i Askelona mbamin’ ny eny amoron-dranomasina no efa nanendreny azy.
Yet how canst thou be quiet? When the Lord hath given it a charge, against Ashkelon, and against the sea-coast—thither hath he destined it.
