Yeremia 47
1 Sebelum raja Mesir menyerang Gaza, TUHAN berbicara kepadaku mengenai negeri Filistin.
The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before the time that Pharaoh smote Gazzah.
2 TUHAN berkata, "Lihat, air mengalir dari utara dan meluap seperti sungai yang sedang banjir melanda negeri serta isinya, kota-kota bersama penduduknya. Orang akan berteriak minta tolong dan seluruh rakyat meratap.
Thus hath said the Lord, Behold, waters are coming up out of the north, and they shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land, and what filleth it; the city, and those that dwell therein: and the men shall cry aloud, and every inhabitant of the land shall wail.
3 Mereka akan mendengar derap kuda, bunyi derak-derik kereta, dan kertak-kertuk roda-rodanya. Orang tua akan menjadi lemah dan tidak lagi memikirkan anaknya.
Because of the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stud-horses, because of the rushing sound of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels, fathers do not turn round to their children from their feebleness of hands;
4 Telah tiba saatnya bangsa Filistin dibinasakan seluruhnya, sehingga Tirus dan Sidon tidak lagi mendapat bantuan. Aku, TUHAN, akan membinasakan semua orang Filistin yang tersisa dari Kreta.
Because of the day that cometh to devastate all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Zidon every helper that remaineth; for the Lord devastateth the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphthor.
5 Orang Gaza ditimpa kesedihan besar; penduduk Askelon membisu. Sampai kapan orang Filistin yang tersisa terus berduka?
Baldness is come upon Gazzah; ruined is Ashkelon with the remnant of their valley: how long yet wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Kamu berteriak, 'Sampai kapan engkau menyerang, hai pedang TUHAN? Kembalilah ke sarungmu dan tinggallah di sana dengan tenang!'
Woe! thou sword of the Lord, how long yet wilt thou not be quiet? withdraw thyself into thy scabbard, take thee rest, and be still.
7 Tapi dapatkah ia menjadi tenang, apabila Aku sudah memerintahkannya untuk menyerang Askelon dan penduduk tepi pantai?"
Yet how canst thou be quiet? When the Lord hath given it a charge, against Ashkelon, and against the sea-coast—thither hath he destined it.
