Jeremiah 47
1 Gaza Pharaoh a ngawn hlanah Philisti ham BOEIPA ol te tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh had smitten Gaza.
2 He ni BOEIPA loh a thui. Tlangpuei lamkah tui ha phul tih soklong la poeh coeng ke. A long vaengah khohmuen neh a khopuei boeih neh a khuikah khosa te a yo ni. Te vaengah hlang te pang vetih khohmuen kah khosa khaw boeih rhung ni.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the North, And they shall become an overflowing torrent, And shall overflow the land, and all that is therein, —The city, and them that dwell therein; And the men shall cry aloud, And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 A marhang lueng kah khomae kah rhetlonah ol ah, a leng te a lengkho hlangping hinghuennah ah, a napa rhoek te a kut a khanah lamloh a ca rhoek te hoihaeng uh thai mahpawh.
At the noise of the stamping of the horses, At the rattling of his chariots, And at the rumbling of his wheels, Fathers look not back for their children, For feebleness of hands,
4 Philisti pum rhoelrhak ham khaw, Tyre neh Sidon bom ham rhaengnaeng boeih te saii ham khohnin ha pai coeng. BOEIPA loh Kaptor sanglak kah Philisti kah a meet te a rhoelrhak coeng.
Because of the day which cometh, To lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and from Sidon Every helper that remaineth. For Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Gaza te lungawng la om vetih Ashkelon khaw hmata ni. A tuikol kah a meet te me hil nim na hlap ve?
Baldness is come upon Gaza, Askelon is in ruins, And the remnant of their valley! How long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Anunae BOEIPA kah cunghang aih, mevaeng hil nim na mong pawt ve? Na capang khuila kun laeh, hoep uh lamtah kuemsuem laeh.
Ah! sword of Jehovah, How long ere thou wilt be quiet? Retire into thy scabbard, Rest, and be still!
7 Metlam na mong pai eh? BOEIPA loh Ashkelon ham te te a uen tih tuipuei langkaeng ham khaw pahoi a khueh coeng.
But how canst thou be at rest, Since Jehovah hath given thee a charge against Askelon, And against the coast of the sea? There hath he appointed it.
