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 concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
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 saith the LORD: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.
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,
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers look not back to their children for 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 spoil all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
5 Voaharatra Gaza, ringana Askelona mbamin’ ny sisa amin’ ny lohasahany; Mandra-pahoviana no mbola hitetika ny tenanao ianao?
Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nought, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Indrisy ry sabatr’ i Jehovah! Mandra-pahoviana no tsy hitsaharanao? Midìra ao amin’ ny tranonao ihany; Mitsahara, ka mijanòna.
O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard; 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.
How canst thou be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given thee a charge? against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.
