Selemaia 47
1The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck down Gaza.
1KO E folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe hoko kia Selemaia ko e palōfita ki he kau Filisitia, ʻi he teʻeki ai ke taaʻi ʻe Felo ʻa Kesa.
2“Thus says the LORD: Behold, waters are rising out of the north, and shall become an overflowing torrent; they shall overflow the land and all that fills it, the city and those who dwell in it. Men shall cry out, and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
2ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; “Vakai, ʻoku tupu ʻae ngaahi vai mei he tokelau, pea ʻe hoko ia ko e vai fonu mahakehake lahi, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻae fonua pea mo e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai: ko e kolo mo kinautolu ʻoku nofo ʻi ai: pea ʻe toki tangi ʻae kau tangata, pea ʻe tangilāulau ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻoe fonua.
3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of their wheels, the fathers look not back to their children, so feeble are their hands,
3Ko e meʻa ʻi he patatū ʻae vaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi mālohi, mo e meʻa ʻi he lele ʻae ngaahi saliote, pea mo e longoaʻa ʻo ʻene ngaahi saliote, ʻe ʻikai sio ki mui ʻae ngaahi tamai ki heʻenau fānau ko e meʻa ʻi he vaivai ʻa honau nima;
4because of the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remains. For the LORD is destroying the Philistines, the remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.
4Koeʻuhi ko e ʻaho ʻaia ʻoku haʻu ke fakaʻauha ai ʻae kau Filisitia kotoa pē, pea ke tuʻusi mei Taia mo Saitone ʻae tokoni kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku toe: koeʻuhi ʻe fakaʻauha ʻe Sihova ʻae kau Filisitia, ko e toenga ʻoe fonua ko Kafitoli.
5Baldness has come upon Gaza; Ashkelon has perished. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourselves?
5Kuo hoko ʻae tula ki Kesa; kuo tuʻusi ʻa ʻAsikiloni mo e toenga ʻi honau teleʻa: ʻe fēfē hono fuoloa ʻo hoʻo maumauʻi koe ʻe koe?
6Ah, sword of the LORD! How long till you are quiet? Put yourself into your scabbard; rest and be still!
6“|‘ʻA koe ko e heletā ʻo Sihova, ʻE fēfē hono fuoloa pea ke toki fiemālie? Ke ke ʻai koe ki ho ʻaiʻanga, pea mālōlō, mo fiemālie.
7How can it be quiet when the LORD has given it a charge? Against Ashkelon and against the seashore he has appointed it.”
7“ʻE fēfē ʻene fiemālie, he kuo fekauʻi ia ʻe Sihova ki ʻAsikiloni, pea mo e matātahi? Kuo ne tuʻutuʻuni ia ki ai.”
