Jeremiah 47

Ko te kupu a Ihowa i puta mai ki a Heremaia poropiti mo nga Pirihitini i te mea kahore ano a Parao i patu noa i Kaha.

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.

Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa: Nana, te puta mai nei nga wai i te raki, ka meinga hei waipuke e ngawha ana, a ka pokia te whenua me ona mea katoa, te pa me nga tangata e noho ana i roto: a ka hamama nga tangata, ka aue hoki nga tangata katoa o te when ua.

Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

Hei te haruru o te takahi o nga paua o ona hoiho kaha, hei te rorohu o ona hariata, hei te ngaehe o ona wira, kore iho nga matua e tahuri ki muri ki a ratou tamariki i te ngoikore hoki o nga ringa;

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

Na, mo te ra e haere mai nei, e pahuatia ai nga Pirihitini katoa, e hatepea atu ai i Taira, i Hairona nga kaiawhina katoa e toe nei: ka pahuatia hoki e Ihowa nga Pirihitini, nga morehu o te motu, o Kapatoro.

Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

Kua tae te pakira ki runga ki Kaha; kua whakamotitia a Ahakerono, me te toenga ano o to ratou awaawa: kia pehea te roa o tau haehae i a koe?

Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

E te hoari a Ihowa, kia pehea te roa ka ata takoto ai koe? hoki atu ki roto ki tou kopaki: okioki, kati hoki tau.

O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Me pehea koe e ata takoto ai, kua hoatu nei hoki e Ihowa he whakahau ki a koe? he he mo Ahakerono, mo te tahatika hoki o te moana, kua whakaritea e ia ki reira.

How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.
