Jeremiah 47
1 The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines, before Pharaoh's attack on Gaza.
Palabra de Yavé que vino al profeta Jeremías con respecto a los filisteos, antes que Faraón destruyera Gaza.
2 This is what the Lord has said: See, waters are coming up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, overflowing the land and everything in it, the town and those who are living in it; and men will give a cry, and all the people of the land will be crying out in pain.
Yavé dice: Miren, aguas que se levantan del norte forman un torrente que inundará la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella, las ciudades y a los que habitan en ellas. Claman los hombres. Se lamenta todo habitante de la tierra.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the feet of his war-horses, at the rushing of his carriages and the thunder of his wheels, fathers will give no thought to their children, because their hands are feeble;
Los padres debilitados ya no cuidan a sus hijos por causa del ruido de los cascos de sus caballos, por el alboroto de sus carruajes, por el estruendo de sus ruedas.
4 Because of the day which is coming with destruction on all the Philistines, cutting off from Tyre and Zidon the last of their helpers: for the Lord will send destruction on the Philistines, the rest of the sea-land of Caphtor.
Llegó el día de despojar a todos los filisteos. Todo ayudador que quede en Tiro y en Sidón será cortado. Yavé destruye a los filisteos, al remanente de la costa de Caftor.
5 The hair is cut off from the head of Gaza; Ashkelon has come to nothing; the last of the Anakim are deeply wounding themselves.
Gaza está calva. Ascalón, reducida al silencio. ¡Ay, remanente de gigantes! ¿Hasta cuándo se sajarán?
6 O sword of the Lord, how long will you have no rest? put yourself back into your cover; be at peace, be quiet.
Oh espada de Yavé: ¿Hasta cuándo no descansarás? Regresa a tu vaina, descansa y quédate quieta.
7 How is it possible for it to be quiet, seeing that the Lord has given it orders? against Ashkelon and against the sea-land he has given it directions.
¿Cómo puede quedar quieta, cuando Yavé le dio una orden, cuando la destinó contra Ascalón y la costa del mar?
