إرْمِيا 47

١ 1 هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُهَاجِمَ فِرْعَوْنُ غَزَّةَ.

Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning [the] Philistines before he struck Pharaoh Gaza.

٢ 2 هَذَا مَا يُعْلِنُهُ الرَّبُّ: «هَا هِيَ مِيَاهٌ تَطْغَى مِنَ الشِّمَالِ، فَتُصْبِحُ سَيْلاً جَارِفاً، فَتَغْمُرُ الأَرْضَ وَمَنْ عَلَيْهَا، الْمَدِينَةَ والسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا. فَيَسْتَغِيثُ النَّاسُ وَيُوَلْوِلُ كُلُّ أَهْلِ الْبِلادِ،

Thus - he says Yahweh here! waters [are] rising from [the] north and they will become a torrent overflowing and they may overflow a land and what fills it a city and [those who] dwell in it and they will cry out everyone and he will wail every inhabitant of the land.

٣ 3 مِنْ صَوْتِ وَقْعِ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِهِ، وَمِنْ جَلَبَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَمِنْ صَرِيرِ عَجَلاتِهَا، فَلا يَلْتَفِتُ الآبَاءُ إِلَى الأَبْنَاءِ مِنْ فَرْطِ مَا يَعْتَرِيهِمْ مِنْ وَهْنٍ.

From [the] sound of [the] stamping of [the] hooves of mighty [horses] its from [the] rattling of chariotry its [the] din of wheels its not they have turned back fathers to children from slackness of hands.

٤ 4 رُعْباً مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الْمُقْبِلِ لإِبَادَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، ولاِسْتِئْصَالِ صُورَ وَصِيدُونَ وَكُلَّ مُعِينٍ بَاقٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُدَمِّرُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ بَقِيَّةَ جَزِيرَةِ كَفْتُورَ.

On the day which is coming to devastate all [the] Philistines to cut off to Tyre and to Sidon every survivor helping for [is] about to devastate Yahweh [the] Philistines [the] remnant of [the] coastland of Caphtor.

٥ 5 قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ غَزَّةُ جَرْدَاءَ، وَسَادَ أَشْقَلُونَ صَمْتُ الْمَوْتِ. يَا بَقِيَّةَ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّونَ تُجَرِّحُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ حُزْناً؟

It will come baldness to Gaza it will be silent Ashkelon O remnant of valley their until when? will you cut yourself.

٦ 6 يَا سَيْفَ الرَّبِّ، مَتَى تَسْتَكِينُ؟ اسْتَقِرَّ فِي غِمْدِكَ وَاهْدَأْ وَاسْتَرِحْ.

Alas! O sword of Yahweh until when? not you will be inactive gather yourself to sheath your rest and be still.

٧ 7 كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَكِينَ، وَقَدْ أَصْدَرَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ لِيَضْرِبَ أَشْقَلُونَ وَمُدُنَ سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، هُنَاكَ وَاعَدَهُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى اللِّقَاءِ».
