Jeremiah 47
1 Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah a message about the people of Philistia. [The message was given to me] before Gaza [city in Philistia] was captured by [the army of] Egypt.
Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh nga immay kenni Jeremias a profeta maipapan kadagiti Filisteo. Immay daytoy a sao kenkuana sakbay a rinaut ni Faraon ti Gaza.
2 This is what Yahweh said: “[An army] [MET] will be coming from the northeast that will cover the land like a flood. They will destroy the land and everything in it; [they will destroy] people and cities. People will scream; everyone in the land will wail.
“Kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh: Kitaem, dumakdakkel ti danum idiay amianan. Kaiyarigandanto iti agluplupias a karayan! Ket lapunusendanto ti daga ken ti amin a banag nga adda iti daytoy, dagiti siudad ken dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy! Isu nga agpukkawto ti tunggal maysa tapno agpatulong, ken agdung-awto dagiti amin nga agnanaed iti daga.
3 [They will hear] the sound of the hooves of the [enemy] horses, and [they will hear] the rumble/noise of the wheels [of their enemies’] chariots. Men [will run away; ] they will not stop to help their children; they will be completely weak and helpless [MTY].
Gapu iti dalagudog iti panagbaddek dagiti kuko ti napipigsa a kabalioda, gapu iti karadakad dagiti karuaheda ken iti anit-it dagiti pilidda, saanto a matulongan dagiti amma dagiti annakda gapu iti kinakapsutda.
4 It will be the time for all the people of Philistia to be destroyed, and the time to prevent the remaining soldiers from helping [the people of] Tyre and Sidon [cities]. [I, ] Yahweh, will get rid of the people of Philistia, those whose ancestors [long ago] came from Crete [island].
Ta dumtengto ti aldaw a pannakadadael dagiti amin a Filisteo, a maikkat manipud iti Tiro ken Sidon ti tunggal nakalasat a mangayat a mangtulong kadakuada. Ta dadaeleton ni Yahweh dagiti Filisteo, dagiti nagtalinaed iti isla ti Kaptor.
5 [The people of] Gaza will be humiliated; they will shave off all the hair on their heads [to indicate that they are ashamed]. The [people of] [city] will all be silent [because they will be mourning]. [All you people who live] along the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea] who are still alive, how long [RHQ] will you gash yourselves [because you are mourning]?”
Dumtengto ti pannakakalbo iti Gaza. No maipapan met iti Askelon, dagiti tattao a nabati iti tanapda ket mapaulimekto. Kasano kapaut ti panangsugatmo iti bagim iti panagladladingitmo?
6 [The people of Philistia say, ] “Yahweh, when [RHQ] will you [tell our enemies to stop killing us with] [PRS] their swords? Tell them to [PRS] put them back into their sheaths and keep them there!”
Asika pay, kampilan ni Yahweh! Kasano pay kabayag aginngga nga agulimekka? Agsublika iti kalubam! Agsardeng ken agulimekka.
7 But it would not be right [RHQ] for their swords to stay there, because Yahweh has commanded their enemies [to do something more]; Yahweh intends to tell them to attack [all the people living in] Ashkelon and [in other cities] along the coast.
Kasano nga agulimekka, idinto ta binilinnaka ni Yahweh. Imbaonnaka a mangraut iti Askelon ken dagiti adda iti igid ti baybay.”
