إِرْمِيَا 47

١ 1 كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَنِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَبْلَ ضَرْبِ فِرْعَوْنَ غَزَّةَ:

This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines. This word came to him before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.

٢ 2 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا مِيَاهٌ تَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَتَكُونُ سَيْلًا جَارِفًا، فَتُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا، ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا، فَيَصْرُخُ ٱلنَّاسُ، وَيُوَلْوِلُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ ٱلأَرْضِ.

“Yahweh says this: See, floods of water are rising in the north. They will be like an overflowing river! Then they will overflow the land and everything in it, its cities and its inhabitants! So everyone will shout for help, and all the inhabitants of the land will lament.

٣ 3 مِنْ صَوْتِ قَرْعِ حَوَافِرِ أَقْوِيَائِهِ، مِنْ صَرِيرِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَصَرِيفِ بَكَرَاتِهِ لَا تَلْتَفِتُ ٱلْآبَاءُ إِلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ، بِسَبَبِ ٱرْتِخَاءِ ٱلْأَيَادِي.

At the sound of the stamping of their strong horses' hooves, at the roar of their chariots and the noise of their wheels, fathers will not help their children because of their own weakness.

٤ 4 بِسَبَبِ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآتِي لِهَلَاكِ كُلِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِيَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ صُورَ وَصَيْدُونَ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةٍ تُعِينُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُهْلِكُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، بَقِيَّةَ جَزِيرَةِ كَفْتُورَ.

For the day is coming that will devastate all of the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every survivor who wants to help them. For Yahweh is devastating the Philistines, those who remain from the island of Caphtor.

٥ 5 أَتَى ٱلصُّلْعُ عَلَى غَزَّةَ. أُهْلِكَتْ أَشْقَلُونُ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ وَطَائِهِمْ. حَتَّى مَتَى تَخْمِشِينَ نَفْسَكِ.

Baldness will come upon Gaza. As for Ashkelon, the people who are left in their valley will be made silent. How long will you cut yourself in mourning?

٦ 6 آهِ، يَا سَيْفَ ٱلرَّبِّ، حَتَّى مَتَى لَا تَسْتَرِيحُ؟ ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى غِمْدِكَ! ٱهْدَأْ وَٱسْكُنْ.

Woe, sword of Yahweh! How long will it be until you become silent? Go back to your scabbard! Stop and be silent.

٧ 7 كَيْفَ يَسْتَرِيحُ وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَوْصَاهُ عَلَى أَشْقَلُونَ، وَعَلَى سَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ هُنَاكَ وَاعَدَهُ؟».

How can it rest when Yahweh has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coastlands along the sea?”
