Yeremia 47
1 Hili ni neno la Yahwe lililokuja kwa Yeremia nabi juu ya Wafilisiti. Neno hili lilimjia kabla Farao hajaishambulia Gaza.
Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning [the] Philistines before he struck Pharaoh Gaza.
2 “Yahwe asema hivi: Tazama, mafuriko ya maji yanainuka huko kaskazini. Yatakuwa kama mto uliofurika! Kisha yataigharikisha nchi na kila kitu ndani yake, miji yake na watu wakaao ndani yake! Kila mtu atapiga kelele ya kuomba msaada, na wakaaji wote wa nchi wataomboleza.
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 Kwa sauti ya kukanyaga kwa kwato za farasi wao wenye nguvu, kwa mwungurumo wa vibandawazi vyao na kelele za magurudumu yao, wazazi hawatawasaidia watoto wao kwa sababu ya udhaifu wao.
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 Kwa maana siku inakuja itakayowaacha ukiwa Wafilisiti wote, kumwondoa kila mtu aliyesalia anayetaka kuwasaidia. Kwa maana Yahwe anawaangamiza Wafilisiti, waliosalia katika kisiwa cha Kaftori.
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 Maombolezo yatakuja juu ya Gaza. Hata kwa Ashikeloni, watu waliosalia bondeni watakuwa kimya. Ni kwa muda gani mtajiondoa katika maombolezo?
It will come baldness to Gaza it will be silent Ashkelon O remnant of valley their until when? will you cut yourself.
6 Ole, upanga wa Yahwe! itachukua muda gani hata unyamaze? Rudini alani mwenu! Acha na unyamaze.
Alas! O sword of Yahweh until when? not you will be inactive gather yourself to sheath your rest and be still.
7 Wawezaje kuwa kimya, maana Yahwe amekuagiza. Amekuamuru kumpiga Ashikeloni na dhidi ya nchi ya pwani ya bahari.
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.
