Jeremia 47

1 Ty tsara’ Iehovà niheo am’ Iirmeà mpitoky ty amo nte-Pilistio taolo’ ty nandafa’ i Parò i Azà.

The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines, before Pharaoh's attack on Gaza.

2 Hoe t’Iehovà: Heheke t’ie hiongake boak’ avaratse eñe ty rano, hinjare torahañe manganahana, toe hampanginahina i taney naho handifotse ze hene ama’e naho i rovay naho o mpimoneñeo; hirovetse ondatio, vaho sindre hangololoike ty tañy ze mpimoneñe amy taney.

This is what the Lord has said: See, waters are coming up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, overflowing the land and everything in it, the town and those who are living in it; and men will give a cry, and all the people of the land will be crying out in pain.

3 Ami’ty kodoin-dian-kotro’ o maozatseo, ty fitrakotrako’ o sareteo, ty kodoikodoi’ o larò’eo le tsy mitolike mb’an-keleia’e o roae’eo, ie mavozo am-pitàñe;

At the noise of the stamping of the feet of his war-horses, at the rushing of his carriages and the thunder of his wheels, fathers will give no thought to their children, because their hands are feeble;

4 Fa tondroke ty andro te fonga hampiantoañe o nte-Pilistio, ie hañitoa’e amy Tsore naho amy Tsidone ze mpañolotse sisa; amy te ho kopahe’ Iehovà o nte-Pilistio, naho ze sehanga’e an-tokonose’ i Kaftore.

Because of the day which is coming with destruction on all the Philistines, cutting off from Tyre and Zidon the last of their helpers: for the Lord will send destruction on the Philistines, the rest of the sea-land of Caphtor.

5 Hasolàñe ty nifetsak’ amy Azà; fa naitoañe ty Askelone. Ry honka’ i vavatane’ iereoy: ampara’ te ‘mbia ty handilindilia’o ty sandri’o?

The hair is cut off from the head of Gaza; Ashkelon has come to nothing; the last of the Anakim are deeply wounding themselves.

6 O ry fibara’ Iehovà, ampara’ te ombia vaho hitsiñe? miombea an-traño’o ao, mitofà, naho mihendrea.

O sword of the Lord, how long will you have no rest? put yourself back into your cover; be at peace, be quiet.

7 Akore ty hitofa’e kanao nandily t’Iehovà? i Askelone naho i olon-driakey ty nitendrea’e.

How is it possible for it to be quiet, seeing that the Lord has given it orders? against Ashkelon and against the sea-land he has given it directions.
