Jeremiah 47
1 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tó tọ wòlíì Jeremiah wá nípa àwọn Filistini, kí ó tó di pé Farao dojúkọ Gasa.
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines, before Pharaoh's attack on Gaza.
2 Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: “Wo bí omi ti ń ru sókè ní àríwá, wọn ó di odò tí ń bo bèbè mọ́lẹ̀. Wọn kò ní borí ilẹ̀ àti ohun gbogbo tó wà lórí rẹ̀, ìlú àti àwọn tó ń gbé nínú wọn. Àwọn ènìyàn yóò kígbe, gbogbo olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà yóò hu
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 nígbà tí wọ́n bá gbọ́ ìró títẹ̀lé pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ẹṣin alágbára nígbà tí wọ́n bá gbọ́ ariwo kẹ̀kẹ́ ogun ọ̀tá ńlá àti iye kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn. Àwọn baba kò ní lè ran àwọn ọmọ lọ́wọ́; ọwọ́ wọn yóò kákò.
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 Nítorí tí ọjọ́ náà ti pé láti pa àwọn Filistini run, kí a sì mú àwọn tí ó là tí ó lè ran Tire àti Sidoni lọ́wọ́ kúrò. Olúwa ti ṣetán láti pa Filistini run, àwọn tí ó kù ní agbègbè Kafitori.
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 Gasa yóò fá irun orí rẹ̀ nínú ọ̀fọ̀. A ó pa Aṣkeloni lẹ́nu mọ́; ìyókù ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, ìwọ yóò ti sá ara rẹ lọ́gbẹ́ pẹ́ tó?
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 “Ẹ̀yin kígbe, ‘Yé è, idà Olúwa, yóò ti pẹ́ tó tí ìwọ yóò sinmi? Padà sínú àkọ̀ rẹ; sinmi kí o sì dákẹ́ jẹ́ẹ́.’
O sword of the Lord, how long will you have no rest? put yourself back into your cover; be at peace, be quiet.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n báwo ni yóò ṣe sinmi, nígbà tí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un, nígbà tí ó ti pa á láṣẹ láti dojúkọ Aṣkeloni àti agbègbè rẹ̀.”
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.
