< यर्मिया 47 >
1 पलिश्तीहरूको विषयमा यर्मिया अगमवक्ताकहाँ आएको परमप्रभुको वचन यही हो । फारोले गाजालाई आक्रमण गर्नुअगि यो वचन तिनीकहाँ आयो ।
This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines. This word came to him before Pharaoh attacked 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 ।
“Yahweh says this: See, floods of water are rising in the north. They will be like an overflowing river! Then they will overflow the land and everything in it, its cities and its inhabitants! So everyone will shout for help, and all the inhabitants of the land will lament.
3 बलिया घोडाहरूको टापले फड्केको आवाजमा, तिनीहरूका रथका वेग र तिनीहरूका पाङ्ग्राका हल्लामा, बुबाहरूको आफ्नै कमजोरीको कारणले तिनीहरूले आफ्नै छोराछोरीलाई सहायता गर्नेछैनन् ।
At the sound of the stamping of their strong horses' hooves, at the roar of their chariots and the noise of their wheels, fathers will not help their children because of their own weakness.
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 ।
For the day is coming that will devastate all of the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every survivor who wants to help them. For Yahweh is devastating the Philistines, those who remain from the island of Caphtor.
5 गाजाको तालु खुइलिनेछ । अश्कलोनको बेँसीमा बाँकी रहेका मानिसहरू मौन रहनेछन् । शोक गरेर कहिलेसम्म तिमीहरूले आ-आफ्नो शरीरलाई काट्नेछौ?
Baldness will come upon Gaza. As for Ashkelon, the people who are left in their valley will be made silent. How long will you cut yourself in mourning?
6 हाय परमप्रभुको तरवार! तँ मौन हुनलाई कति लामो समय लाग्नेछ? तेरो म्यानमा फर्केर जा । रोकी र मौन हो ।
Woe, sword of Yahweh! How long will it be until you become silent? Go back to your scabbard! Stop and be silent.
7 अशक्लोन र समुद्र किनारका देशहरूलाई आक्रमण गर्न परमप्रभुले नै यसलाई आज्ञा दिनुभएको छ भने, यसले कसरी विश्राम गर्न सक्छ र?
How can it rest when Yahweh has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coastlands along the sea?”
