إرْمِيا 47
| هَذِهِ هِيَ النُّبُوءَةُ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها الرَّبُّ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا عَنِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُهَاجِمَ فِرْعَوْنُ غَزَّةَ. | ١ 1 |
Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah a message about the people of Philistia. [The message was given to me] before Gaza [city in Philistia] was captured by [the army of] Egypt.
| 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، | ٢ 2 |
This is what Yahweh said: “[An army] [MET] will be coming from the northeast that will cover the land like a flood. They will destroy the land and everything in it; [they will destroy] people and cities. People will scream; everyone in the land will wail.
| مِنْ صَوْتِ وَقْعِ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِهِ، وَمِنْ جَلَبَةِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ، وَمِنْ صَرِيرِ عَجَلاتِهَا، فَلا يَلْتَفِتُ الآبَاءُ إِلَى الأَبْنَاءِ مِنْ فَرْطِ مَا يَعْتَرِيهِمْ مِنْ وَهْنٍ. | ٣ 3 |
[They will hear] the sound of the hooves of the [enemy] horses, and [they will hear] the rumble/noise of the wheels [of their enemies’] chariots. Men [will run away; ] they will not stop to help their children; they will be completely weak and helpless [MTY].
| رُعْباً مِنَ الْيَوْمِ الْمُقْبِلِ لإِبَادَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، ولاِسْتِئْصَالِ صُورَ وَصِيدُونَ وَكُلَّ مُعِينٍ بَاقٍ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُدَمِّرُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ بَقِيَّةَ جَزِيرَةِ كَفْتُورَ. | ٤ 4 |
It will be the time for all the people of Philistia to be destroyed, and the time to prevent the remaining soldiers from helping [the people of] Tyre and Sidon [cities]. [I, ] Yahweh, will get rid of the people of Philistia, those whose ancestors [long ago] came from Crete [island].
| قَدْ أَصْبَحَتْ غَزَّةُ جَرْدَاءَ، وَسَادَ أَشْقَلُونَ صَمْتُ الْمَوْتِ. يَا بَقِيَّةَ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ، إِلَى مَتَى تَظَلُّونَ تُجَرِّحُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ حُزْناً؟ | ٥ 5 |
[The people of] Gaza will be humiliated; they will shave off all the hair on their heads [to indicate that they are ashamed]. The [people of] [city] will all be silent [because they will be mourning]. [All you people who live] along the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea] who are still alive, how long [RHQ] will you gash yourselves [because you are mourning]?”
| يَا سَيْفَ الرَّبِّ، مَتَى تَسْتَكِينُ؟ اسْتَقِرَّ فِي غِمْدِكَ وَاهْدَأْ وَاسْتَرِحْ. | ٦ 6 |
[The people of Philistia say, ] “Yahweh, when [RHQ] will you [tell our enemies to stop killing us with] [PRS] their swords? Tell them to [PRS] put them back into their sheaths and keep them there!”
| كَيْفَ يُمْكِنُ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْتَكِينَ، وَقَدْ أَصْدَرَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ لِيَضْرِبَ أَشْقَلُونَ وَمُدُنَ سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، هُنَاكَ وَاعَدَهُ الرَّبُّ عَلَى اللِّقَاءِ». | ٧ 7 |
But it would not be right [RHQ] for their swords to stay there, because Yahweh has commanded their enemies [to do something more]; Yahweh intends to tell them to attack [all the people living in] Ashkelon and [in other cities] along the coast.
