Yeremia 47
1 Firman TUHAN yang datang kepada nabi Yeremia mengenai orang Filistin, sebelum Firaun mengalahkan Gaza.
That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:
2 "Beginilah firman TUHAN: Lihat, air yang meluas mengamuk dari utara menjadi sungai yang membanjir, membanjiri negeri serta isinya, kota serta penduduknya. Manusia akan berteriak, dan seluruh penduduk negeri akan meratap,
“Thus said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.
3 mendengar bunyi derap kuku kudanya, mendengar derak-derik keretanya, kertak-kertuk rodanya. Para ayah tidak lagi berpaling menoleh kepada anak-anak, sebab tangan mereka sudah lemas,
From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From feebleness of hands,
4 oleh karena telah tiba harinya untuk membinasakan semua orang Filistin, dan melenyapkan bagi Tirus dan Sidon setiap penolong yang masih tinggal. Sungguh, TUHAN akan membinasakan orang Filistin, yakni sisa orang yang datang dari pulau Kaftor.
Because of the day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island of Caphtor.
5 Gaza telah menjadi gundul, Askelon telah menjadi bungkam; hai Asdod, sisa orang Enak, berapa lama lagi engkau menoreh-noreh diri?
Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
6 Ah, pedang TUHAN, berapa lama lagi baru engkau berhenti? Masuklah kembali ke dalam sarungmu, jadilah tenang dan beristirahatlah!
Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
7 Tetapi bagaimana ia dapat berhenti? Bukankah TUHAN memerintahkannya? Ke Askelon dan ke tepi pantai laut, ke sanalah Ia menyuruhnya!"
How will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”
