Yeremia 47
1 Hili ndilo neno la Bwana lililomjia nabii Yeremia kuhusu Wafilisti, kabla Farao hajaishambulia Gaza:
The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens Palestyns, bifor that Farao smoot Gaza.
2 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Tazama jinsi maji yanavyoinuka huko kaskazini, yatakuwa mafuriko yenye nguvu sana. Yataifurikia nchi na vitu vyote vilivyomo ndani yake, miji na wale waishio ndani yake. Watu watapiga kelele; wote waishio katika nchi wataomboleza
The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! watris schulen stie fro the north, and tho schulen be as a stronde flowynge, and tho schulen hile the lond, and the fulnesse therof, the citee, and the dwelleris therof. Men schulen crie, and alle the dwelleris of the lond schulen yelle,
3 kwa sauti ya kwato za farasi waendao mbio, kwa sauti ya magari ya adui na mngurumo wa magurudumu yake. Baba hawatageuka kuwasaidia watoto wao, mikono yao italegea.
for the noise of boost of armed men, and of werriours of hym, and for mouyng of hise cartis, and multitude of hise wheelis. Fadris bihelden not sones with clumsid hondis,
4 Kwa maana siku imewadia kuwaangamiza Wafilisti wote na kuwakatilia mbali walionusurika wote ambao wangeweza kusaidia Tiro na Sidoni. Bwana anakaribia kuwaangamiza Wafilisti, mabaki toka pwani za Kaftori.
for the comyng of the dai in which alle Filisteis schulen be destried; and Tirus schal be destried, and Sidon with alle her othere helpis. For the Lord hath destried Palestyns, the remenauntis of the ile of Capadocie.
5 Gaza atanyoa kichwa chake katika kuomboleza, Ashkeloni atanyamazishwa. Enyi mabaki kwenye tambarare, mtajikatakata wenyewe mpaka lini?
Ballidnesse cam on Gaza; Ascolon was stille, and the remenauntis of the valei of tho.
6 “Mnalia, ‘Aa, upanga wa Bwana, utaendelea mpaka lini ndipo upumzike? Rudi ndani ya ala yako; acha na utulie.’
Hou longe schalt thou falle doun, O! swerd of the Lord, hou long schalt thou not reste? Entre thou in to thi schethe, be thou refreischid, and be stille.
7 Lakini upanga utatuliaje wakati Bwana ameuamuru, wakati ameuagiza kuishambulia Ashkeloni pamoja na pwani yake?”
Hou schal it reste, whanne the Lord comaundide to it ayens Ascalon, and ayens the see coostis therof, and there hath seide to it?
