Jeremiah 47
1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:
Sebelum raja Mesir menyerang Gaza, TUHAN berbicara kepadaku mengenai negeri Filistin.
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.
TUHAN berkata, "Lihat, air mengalir dari utara dan meluap seperti sungai yang sedang banjir melanda negeri serta isinya, kota-kota bersama penduduknya. Orang akan berteriak minta tolong dan seluruh rakyat meratap.
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,
Mereka akan mendengar derap kuda, bunyi derak-derik kereta, dan kertak-kertuk roda-rodanya. Orang tua akan menjadi lemah dan tidak lagi memikirkan anaknya.
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.
Telah tiba saatnya bangsa Filistin dibinasakan seluruhnya, sehingga Tirus dan Sidon tidak lagi mendapat bantuan. Aku, TUHAN, akan membinasakan semua orang Filistin yang tersisa dari Kreta.
5 Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
Orang Gaza ditimpa kesedihan besar; penduduk Askelon membisu. Sampai kapan orang Filistin yang tersisa terus berduka?
6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
Kamu berteriak, 'Sampai kapan engkau menyerang, hai pedang TUHAN? Kembalilah ke sarungmu dan tinggallah di sana dengan tenang!'
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!”
Tapi dapatkah ia menjadi tenang, apabila Aku sudah memerintahkannya untuk menyerang Askelon dan penduduk tepi pantai?"
