Jeremiah 47
1 Yahweh gave to the prophet Jeremiah a message about the people of Philistia. [The message was given to me] before Gaza [city in Philistia] was captured by [the army of] Egypt.
Das Wort Jehovas, welches zu Jeremia, dem Propheten, geschah über die Philister, ehe der Pharao Gasa schlug.
2 This is what Yahweh said: “[An army] [MET] will be coming from the northeast that will cover the land like a flood. They will destroy the land and everything in it; [they will destroy] people and cities. People will scream; everyone in the land will wail.
So spricht Jehova: Siehe, Wasser steigen herauf von Norden her und werden zu einem überschwemmenden Wildbach; und sie überschwemmen das Land und seine Fülle, die Städte und ihre Bewohner. Und es schreien die Menschen, und alle Bewohner des Landes heulen,
3 [They will hear] the sound of the hooves of the [enemy] horses, and [they will hear] the rumble/noise of the wheels [of their enemies’] chariots. Men [will run away; ] they will not stop to help their children; they will be completely weak and helpless [MTY].
vor dem Schalle des Stampfens der Hufe seiner starken Rosse, vor dem Getöse seiner Wagen, dem Gerassel seiner Räder, Väter sehen sich nicht um nach den Söhnen vor Erschlaffung der Hände-
4 It will be the time for all the people of Philistia to be destroyed, and the time to prevent the remaining soldiers from helping [the people of] Tyre and Sidon [cities]. [I, ] Yahweh, will get rid of the people of Philistia, those whose ancestors [long ago] came from Crete [island].
wegen des Tages, der da kommt, um alle Philister zu zerstören und für Tyrus und Zidon jeden hilfebringenden Überrest zu vertilgen. Denn Jehova zerstört die Philister, den Überrest der Insel Kaphtor.
5 [The people of] Gaza will be humiliated; they will shave off all the hair on their heads [to indicate that they are ashamed]. The [people of] [city] will all be silent [because they will be mourning]. [All you people who live] along the coast [of the Mediterranean Sea] who are still alive, how long [RHQ] will you gash yourselves [because you are mourning]?”
Kahlheit ist über Gasa gekommen, vernichtet ist Askalon, der Überrest ihres Tales. Wie lange willst du dich ritzen? -
6 [The people of Philistia say, ] “Yahweh, when [RHQ] will you [tell our enemies to stop killing us with] [PRS] their swords? Tell them to [PRS] put them back into their sheaths and keep them there!”
Wehe! Schwert Jehovas, wie lange willst du nicht rasten? Fahre zurück in deine Scheide, halte dich ruhig und still!
7 But it would not be right [RHQ] for their swords to stay there, because Yahweh has commanded their enemies [to do something more]; Yahweh intends to tell them to attack [all the people living in] Ashkelon and [in other cities] along the coast.
Wie sollte es rasten, da doch Jehova ihm geboten hat? Gegen Askalon und gegen das Gestade des Meeres, dorthin hat er es bestellt.
