1 Ondjovo yOmwene oya hanga omuxunganeki Jeremia tai popi Ovafilisti, Farao fimbo ina ta oshilongo shaGasa. 2 Omwene osho ta ti:
“Tala, omeva taa fuluka okoumbangalanhu ndee taa ka ninga ekunguluko lefundja. Ndele taa tuvike edu noinima aishe yalo noshilando noonakukalamo musho. Ndele ovanhu otava ka lilaana noonakukalamo aveshe moshilongo otava ka kema, 3 omolwomapulukuto omakondo eenghambe daye nomolwomakolokoto omatemba aye nondaka yomaulu omatemba aye. Ooxe itava pilukile vali kovana vavo, ve va kwafe, osheshi omake avo a loloka, 4 omolwefiku eli tali uya li hanaune po Ovafilisti aveshe, ndele li nyonaunwe po ovakwafi vaTirus novaSidoni. Osheshi Omwene ota hanauna po Ovafilisti, oshixupe shokonhunhu yaKaftor. 5 Gasa okwa ninga ongwala. Askelon sha hanaunwa po pamwe noshixupe shomefilu lavo. Fiyo onaini to ka kala nokulishata? 6 Woo, oove eongamukonda lOmwene, fiyo onaini to ka kala ino tulumukwa? Shuna moshilaleko! Tulumukwa ove u limwenenene. 7 Ndelenee tali shiiva ngahelipi okutulumukwa, Omwene eshi e li lombwela li ye kuAskelon nokomunghulo wefuta? Osho ye e shi pangela.”
1 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza. 2 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. 3 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; 4 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. 5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself? 6 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. 7 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.
