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 de Yahweh que chegou a Jeremias, o profeta, a respeito dos filisteus, antes do Faraó atingir 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.
diz Yahweh: “Eis que as águas sobem do norte, e se tornará um fluxo transbordante, e transbordará a terra e tudo o que nela se encontra, a cidade e aqueles que nela habitam. Os homens vão chorar, e todos os habitantes da terra irão lamentar.
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].
Ao ruído da estampagem dos cascos de seus cascos fortes, na correria de suas carruagens, no estrondo de suas rodas, os pais não olham para trás para seus filhos porque suas mãos são tão débeis,
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 todos os filisteus, para cortar de Tyre e Sidon todos os ajudantes que restarem; para Yahweh destruirá os filisteus, o remanescente 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 calvície chegou a Gaza; Ashkelon é levado a nada. Você é um remanescente do vale deles, por quanto tempo você vai se cortar?
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!”
“'Você espada de Iavé, quanto tempo vai demorar até que você fique quieto? Coloque-se de volta em sua bainha; descanse, e fique quieto”.
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.
“Como você pode ficar quieto? desde que Yahweh lhe deu um comando? Contra Ashkelon, e contra a orla marítima, lá ele o nomeou”.
