Jeremiah 47

1 The word of YHWH that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.

Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper Filistejce, preden je faraon udaril Gazo.

2 "Thus says YHWH: '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.

»Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, vode se dvigujejo iz severa in bodo preplavljajoča poplava in bodo poplavile deželo in vse, kar je v njej; mesto in tiste, ki prebivajo v njem. Potem bodo ljudje jokali in vsi prebivalci dežele bodo tulili

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;

ob hrupu topotanja kopit njegovih močnih konj, ob drvenju njegovih bojnih voz in ob hrumenju njegovih koles. Očetje ne bodo gledali nazaj k svojim otrokom zaradi slabotnosti rok,

4 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for YHWH will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

zaradi dneva, ki prihaja, da opleni vse Filistejce in da iztrebi iz Tira in Sidóna vsakega pomočnika, ki preostaja, kajti Gospod bo oplenil Filistejce, ostanek dežele Kaftor.

5 Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?

Plešavost je prišla nad Gazo; Aškelón je iztrebljen s preostankom njihove doline. Doklej boš zarezoval samega sebe?

6 You sword of YHWH, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."

Oh ti, Gospodov meč, kako dolgo bo trajalo, preden boš tiho? Spravi se v svojo nožnico, počivaj in bodi miren.

7 How can it be quiet, since YHWH has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"

Kako je lahko tiho, glede na to, da mu je Gospod dal naročilo zoper Aškelón in zoper morsko obalo? Tam ga je on določil.‹«
