< Jeremiah 47 >

1 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.
كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَنِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَبْلَ ضَرْبِ فِرْعَوْنَ غَزَّةَ:١
2 "Thus says Jehovah: 'Look, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
«هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا مِيَاهٌ تَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَتَكُونُ سَيْلًا جَارِفًا، فَتُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا، ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا، فَيَصْرُخُ ٱلنَّاسُ، وَيُوَلْوِلُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ ٱلأَرْضِ.٢
3 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 do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;
مِنْ صَوْتِ قَرْعِ حَوَافِرِ أَقْوِيَائِهِ، مِنْ صَرِيرِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَصَرِيفِ بَكَرَاتِهِ لَا تَلْتَفِتُ ٱلْآبَاءُ إِلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ، بِسَبَبِ ٱرْتِخَاءِ ٱلْأَيَادِي.٣
4 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for Jehovah will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
بِسَبَبِ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآتِي لِهَلَاكِ كُلِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِيَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ صُورَ وَصَيْدُونَ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةٍ تُعِينُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُهْلِكُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، بَقِيَّةَ جَزِيرَةِ كَفْتُورَ.٤
5 Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
أَتَى ٱلصُّلْعُ عَلَى غَزَّةَ. أُهْلِكَتْ أَشْقَلُونُ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ وَطَائِهِمْ. حَتَّى مَتَى تَخْمِشِينَ نَفْسَكِ.٥
6 You sword of Jehovah, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."
آهِ، يَا سَيْفَ ٱلرَّبِّ، حَتَّى مَتَى لَا تَسْتَرِيحُ؟ ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى غِمْدِكَ! ٱهْدَأْ وَٱسْكُنْ.٦
7 How can it be quiet, since Jehovah has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
كَيْفَ يَسْتَرِيحُ وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَوْصَاهُ عَلَى أَشْقَلُونَ، وَعَلَى سَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ هُنَاكَ وَاعَدَهُ؟».٧
