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.
A palavra do Senhor, que veio a Jeremias, o profeta, contra os philisteus, antes que faraó ferisse a Gaza.
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.
Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que se levantam as águas do norte, e tornar-se-ão em torrente transbordante, e alagarão a terra e sua plenitude, a cidade, e os que moram nela; e os homens clamarão, e todos os moradores da terra uivarão;
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].
Por causa do som do estrépito das unhas dos seus fortes cavalos, por causa do arroido de seus carros e do estrondo das suas rodas: os pais não atenderam aos filhos, por causa da fraqueza das mãos;
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].
Por causa do dia que vem, para destruir a todos os philisteus, para cortar a Tiro e a Sidon todo o resto que os socorra; porque o Senhor destruirá os philisteus, o resto da ilha de Caphtor.
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]?”
A rapadura veio sobre Gaza, foi desarreigada Ascalon, com o resto do seu vale: até quando te sarjarás?
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!”
Ah espada do Senhor! até quando deixarás de repousar? volta para a tua bainha, descança, e aquieta-te.
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.
Mas como te aquietarias? pois o Senhor deu-lhe mandado contra Ascalon, e contra as bordas do mar: e ali lho tem prescrito.
