< 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 that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck 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 ।
"Thus says the LORD: 'Look, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
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 hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
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 that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
5 गाजाको तालु खुइलिनेछ । अश्कलोनको बेँसीमा बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरू मौन रहनेछन् । शोक गरेर कहिलेसम्म तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्नो शरीरलाई काट्नेछौ?
Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
6 हाय परमप्रभुको तरवार! तँ मौन हुनलाई कति लामो समय लाग्नेछ? तेरो म्यानमा फर्केर जा । रोकी र मौन हो ।
You sword of the LORD, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."
7 अशक्लोन र समुद्र किनारका देशहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न परमप्रभुले नै यसलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ भने, यसले कसरी विश्राम गर्न सक्छ र?
How can it be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
