< Jeremiah 47 >

1 The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.
Gaza Pharaoh a ngawn hlanah Philisti ham BOEIPA ol te tonghma Jeremiah taengla ha pawk.
2 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,
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.
3 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels: fathers shall not look back for [their] children, from feebleness of hands;
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.
4 because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.
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.
5 Baldness is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
Gaza te lungawng la om vetih Ashkelon khaw hmata ni. A tuikol kah a meet te me hil nim na hlap ve?
6 Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
Anunae BOEIPA kah cunghang aih, mevaeng hil nim na mong pawt ve? Na capang khuila kun laeh, hoep uh lamtah kuemsuem laeh.
7 How shouldest thou be quiet? — For Jehovah hath given it a charge: against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.
Metlam na mong pai eh? BOEIPA loh Ashkelon ham te te a uen tih tuipuei langkaeng ham khaw pahoi a khueh coeng.
