Jeremija 47

1 Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji o Filistejcima prije nego što faraon osvoji Gazu.

The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.

2 Ovako reče Jahve: “Evo, vode se dižu sa Sjevera i kao nabujali brzaci poplavljuju zemlju i sve što je na njoj, gradove i sve njihovo pučanstvo. I ljudi vapiju, i kukaju svi žitelji zemlje,

The LORD says: “Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, and will overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and those who dwell therein. The men will cry, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.

3 uz tutanj kopita njegove ždrebadi, uza štropot kola i tresku točkova. Oci više ne mare za djecu svoju jer su im ruke klonule

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don’t look back for their children because their hands are so feeble,

4 zbog dana što osvanu da Filistejce istrijebi, da zatre Tiru i Sidonu sve do posljednjeg pomagača. Jer Jahve istrebljuje Filistejce, i sav ostatak otočja kaftorskog.

because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

5 Gazi će biti obrijana glava, razoren Aškelon. A ti, Ašdode, ostače Anakovaca, dokle će te tuga razdirati?

Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing. You remnant of their valley, how long will you cut yourself?

6 Jao, maču Jahvin, kad li ćeš se smiriti? Vrati se u korice, stani i počini!”

“‘You sword of the LORD, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself back into your scabbard; rest, and be still.’

7 Ali kako da se smiri, kad Jahvina ruka njime zapovijeda: na Aškelon i na morski žal on ga isuka.

“How can you be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there he has appointed it.”
