< Yeremia 47 >
1 Sebelum raja Mesir menyerang Gaza, TUHAN berbicara kepadaku mengenai negeri Filistin.
Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet concerning [the] Philistines before he struck Pharaoh Gaza.
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 - he says Yahweh here! waters [are] rising from [the] north and they will become a torrent overflowing and they may overflow a land and what fills it a city and [those who] dwell in it and they will cry out everyone and he will wail every inhabitant of the land.
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.
From [the] sound of [the] stamping of [the] hooves of mighty [horses] its from [the] rattling of chariotry its [the] din of wheels its not they have turned back fathers to children from slackness 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.
On the day which is coming to devastate all [the] Philistines to cut off to Tyre and to Sidon every survivor helping for [is] about to devastate Yahweh [the] Philistines [the] remnant of [the] coastland of Caphtor.
5 Orang Gaza ditimpa kesedihan besar; penduduk Askelon membisu. Sampai kapan orang Filistin yang tersisa terus berduka?
It will come baldness to Gaza it will be silent Ashkelon O remnant of valley their until when? will you cut yourself.
6 Kamu berteriak, 'Sampai kapan engkau menyerang, hai pedang TUHAN? Kembalilah ke sarungmu dan tinggallah di sana dengan tenang!'
Alas! O sword of Yahweh until when? not you will be inactive gather yourself to sheath your rest and be still.
7 Tapi dapatkah ia menjadi tenang, apabila Aku sudah memerintahkannya untuk menyerang Askelon dan penduduk tepi pantai?"
How? will you be inactive and Yahweh he has commanded it against Ashkelon and against [the] coast of the sea there he has appointed it.
