Jeremijas 47
1 Šis ir tas vārds, kas notika uz pravieti Jeremiju pret Fīlistiem, pirms Faraons sakāva Gacu.
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.
2 Tā saka Tas Kungs: redzi, ūdens celsies no ziemeļiem un plūdīs un pārplūdīs zemi un visu viņas pilnumu, pilsētas, un viņas iedzīvotājus; un tie cilvēki brēks, un visi zemes iedzīvotāji kauks.
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.
3 No skrejošu zirgu varenā trokšņa, no viņu ratu rībēšanas un no viņu riteņu rūkšanas tēvi neraudzīsies atpakaļ pēc bērniem, jo rokas būs nogurušas,
[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].
4 Tās dienas dēļ kas nāk, postīt visus Fīlistus un izdeldēt Tiru un Sidonu līdz ar tiem citiem palīgiem; jo Tas Kungs izpostīs Fīlistus, kas atlikušies no Kaftora salas.
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].
5 Kailums nāk pār Gacu, Askalona izdeldēta, tas atlikums viņas ielejā. Cik ilgi tu pats gribi graizīties?
[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]?”
6 Ak vai, Tā Kunga zobens! Cik ilgi tu nerimsi? Lien jel savās makstīs, dusi un esi klusu.
[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!”
7 Bet kā tam rimt? Jo Tas Kungs tam pavēlējis pret Askalonu un pret jūrmalu; uz turieni Viņš to sūtījis.
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.
