Jeremiah 47
1 This is the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji o Filistejcima prije nego što faraon osvoji Gazu.
2 This is what the Lord says: Look at the waters rising from the north! They will become an overflowing river that sweeps across the country and everything in it, flooding the towns and everyone's homes. The people will cry out for help; everyone who lives in the country will weep,
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,
3 as they hear the sound of stallions charging, the rattling of chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Fathers won't go back to help their sons—they have no strength because they're terrified.
uz tutanj kopita njegove ždrebadi, uza štropot kola i tresku točkova. Oci više ne mare za djecu svoju jer su im ruke klonule
4 The day has arrived when all the Philistines will be destroyed, when Tyre and Sidon will have no more allies to help them. The Lord is going to destroy the Philistines, those who are left from the island of Crete.
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.
5 The people of Gaza will shave their heads; the town of Ashkelon lies in ruins. You who are left on the coastal plain, how long will you go on cutting yourself?
Gazi će biti obrijana glava, razoren Aškelon. A ti, Ašdode, ostače Anakovaca, dokle će te tuga razdirati?
6 Oh sword of the Lord, when are you going to stop killing? Go back in your sheath. Stop killing and stay there!
Jao, maču Jahvin, kad li ćeš se smiriti? Vrati se u korice, stani i počini!”
7 But how can the sword stop killing when the Lord has given it orders to attack Ashkelon and its coastlands?
Ali kako da se smiri, kad Jahvina ruka njime zapovijeda: na Aškelon i na morski žal on ga isuka.
