< यर्मिया 47 >
1 पलिश्तीहरूको विषयमा यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ आएको परमप्रभुको वचन यही हो । फारोले गाजालाई आक्रमण गर्नुअगि यो वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो ।
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines, before Pharaoh's attack on Gaza.
2 “परमप्रभु यसो भन्नुहुन्छः उत्तरमा पानीको बाढी उर्लंदैछ । तिनीहरू बाढीको भलझैं हुनेछन् । तिनीहरूले यस देश र यसमा भएका हरेक थोक, यसका सहरहरू र यसका बासिन्दाहरूलाई डुबाउनेछन् । त्यसैले हरेको मदतको लागि गुहार माग्नेछ, र देशका सबै बासिन्दाले विलाप गर्नेछन् ।
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 बलिया घोडाहरूको टापले फड्केको आवाजमा, तिनीहरूका रथका वेग र तिनीहरूका पाङ्ग्राका हल्लामा, बुबाहरूको आफ्नै कमजोरीको कारणले तिनीहरूले आफ्नै छोराछोरीलाई सहायता गर्नेछैनन् ।
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 किनकि सारा पलिश्तीहरूको सर्वनाश हुने दिन आउँदैछ । बाँचेकाहरूमध्ये टुरोस र सीदोनलाई मदत गर्न चाहनेहरू बहिष्कृत हुने छन् । किनभने परमप्रभुले कप्तोरको टापुमा बाँकी रहेका पलिश्तीहरूलाई सर्वनाश पार्दै हुनुहुन्छ ।
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 गाजाको तालु खुइलिनेछ । अश्कलोनको बेँसीमा बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरू मौन रहनेछन् । शोक गरेर कहिलेसम्म तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्नो शरीरलाई काट्नेछौ?
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 हाय परमप्रभुको तरवार! तँ मौन हुनलाई कति लामो समय लाग्नेछ? तेरो म्यानमा फर्केर जा । रोकी र मौन हो ।
O sword of the Lord, how long will you have no rest? put yourself back into your cover; be at peace, be quiet.
7 अशक्लोन र समुद्र किनारका देशहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न परमप्रभुले नै यसलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ भने, यसले कसरी विश्राम गर्न सक्छ र?
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.
