< Jeremiah 47 >

1 Egypt lengpan Philistine gam’a Gaza khopi alokhum masang chun, Pakai thusei hichehi Jeremiah themgao kom ahunglhung in;
The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Sahlam gan’a kon twi ahungsoh in, gamsung pumpi ahinchup ding ahi. Hichun gamsung a ijakai: khopi ho leh asunga cheng mihem jouse, asuhgam helding ahi. Miho chu kicha tah’a, panpi ngaicha-a kap’a pending ahiuve.
The LORD says: “Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, and will overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and those who dwell therein. The men will cry, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.
3 Sakol khoto gin pohlah lah’a ajahdiu, chule kangtalai kitolgin eojut jut’a ajah diu ahi. Mipate jouse chu kicha behseh uvintin, achateu jeng jong suhna ding helouva anusediu, kinunghei louhel’a jamgam diu ahiuve.
At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don’t look back for their children because their hands are so feeble,
4 Nikho ahunglhung e, Philistine kisumang ding chule ama panpia Tyre leh Sidon jong kisumang ding ahi. Pakaiyin Philistine gam’a amoh chengse asuh gamding chule Crete twikol gam’a gachen den ho jong asuhgam ding ahi.
because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
5 Gaza lu akivoutol in, akijumso tai. Ashkelon jong athip dentai. Nangho Mediterranean twilen pang’a kon’a amoh chengse, itihchan nalhaset uva nakadiu ham?
Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing. You remnant of their valley, how long will you cut yourself?
6 Vo Pakai chemjam, itgih phat le nakichol ding ham? Napai sunga kilekit inlang, kichol in thipbeh chan umtan.
“‘You sword of the LORD, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself back into your scabbard; rest, and be still.’
7 Ahivangin, Pakaiyin natong dinga asol chu, iti umthim beh ding ham? Ajeh chu Ashkelon khopi leh twilen panga chengho kisugam helding ahiuve, ati.
“How can you be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there he has appointed it.”
