UJeremiya 47
1 Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi limelene lamaFilisti, uFaro engakatshayi iGaza.
Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning [the] Philistines before he struck Pharaoh Gaza.
2 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, amanzi azakhukhumala evela enyakatho, azakuba yisifula esikhukhulayo, akhukhule ilizwe lokugcwala kwalo, umuzi labahlala kiwo; labantu bazakhala, labo bonke abakhileyo belizwe bazaqhinqa isililo,
Thus - he says Yahweh here! waters [are] rising from [the] north and they will become a torrent overflowing and they may overflow a land and what fills it a city and [those who] dwell in it and they will cry out everyone and he will wail every inhabitant of the land.
3 ngomsindo wokugidiza kwamasondo amabhiza akhe alamandla, ngomdumo wenqola zakhe, inhlokomo yamavili akhe; oyise kabanyemukuli kubantwana ngenxa yokuyekethiswa kwezandla;
From [the] sound of [the] stamping of [the] hooves of mighty [horses] its from [the] rattling of chariotry its [the] din of wheels its not they have turned back fathers to children from slackness of hands.
4 ngenxa yosuku oluzayo ukuchitha wonke amaFilisti, ukuquma asuke eTire leSidoni wonke umsizi oseleyo; ngoba iNkosi izawachitha amaFilisti, insali yesihlenge seKafitori.
On the day which is coming to devastate all [the] Philistines to cut off to Tyre and to Sidon every survivor helping for [is] about to devastate Yahweh [the] Philistines [the] remnant of [the] coastland of Caphtor.
5 Ubumpabanga sebufikile eGaza, iAshikeloni iqunyiwe, insali yesihotsha sabo; uzazisika kuze kube nini?
It will come baldness to Gaza it will be silent Ashkelon O remnant of valley their until when? will you cut yourself.
6 Hawu, nkemba yeNkosi; koze kube nini ungathuli? Zibuthele emgodleni wakho, phumula, uthule.
Alas! O sword of Yahweh until when? not you will be inactive gather yourself to sheath your rest and be still.
7 Ungathula njani, lapho iNkosi iyilawulile? Imelene leAshikeloni, imelene lokhumbi lolwandle, lapho iyimisele khona.
How? will you be inactive and Yahweh he has commanded it against Ashkelon and against [the] coast of the sea there he has appointed it.
