Jeremiah 47

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:

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

2 “Thus said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.

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 From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From feebleness of hands,

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

4 Because of the day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island of Caphtor.

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 Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?

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

6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.

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

7 How will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”

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