< 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.
Слово Господа, которое было к пророку Иеремии о Филистимлянах, прежде нежели фараон поразил Газу.
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.
Так говорит Господь: вот, поднимаются воды с севера и сделаются наводняющим потоком, и потопят землю и все, что наполняет ее, город и живущих в нем; тогда возопиют люди, и зарыдают все обитатели страны.
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].
От шумного топота копыт сильных коней его, от стука колесниц его, от звука колес его, отцы не оглянутся на детей своих, потому что руки у них опустятся
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].
от того дня, который придет истребить всех Филистимлян, отнять у Тира и Сидона всех остальных помощников, ибо Господь разорит Филистимлян, остаток острова Кафтора.
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]?”
Оплешивела Газа, гибнет Аскалон, остаток долины их.
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!”
Доколе будешь посекать, о, меч Господень! доколе ты не успокоишься? возвратись в ножны твои, перестань и успокойся.
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.
Но как тебе успокоиться, когда Господь дал повеление против Аскалона и против берега морского? туда Он направил его.
