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.
Реч Господња која дође Јеремији пророку за Филистеје пре него Фараон освоји 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.
Овако вели Господ: Ево, вода долази са севера, и биће као поток који се разлива, и потопиће земљу и шта је у њој, град и оне који живе у њему; и људи ће викати, и ридаће сви становници земаљски.
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].
Од топота копита јаких коња његових, од тутњаве кола његових, и праске точкова његових, неће се обазрети очеви на синове, јер ће им руке клонути,
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].
Од оног дана који ће доћи да истреби све Филистеје и да затре Тир и Сидон и све остале помоћнике, јер ће Господ истребити Филистеје, остатак острва 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]?”
Оћелавиће Газа, пропашће Аскалон и остатак долине њихове; докле ћеш се резати?
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!”
Јаох, мачу Господњи, кад ћеш се смирити? Врати се у корице своје, стани и смири се.
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.
Али како би се смирио? Јер му Господ даде заповест на Аскалон и на приморје; онамо га одреди.
