Jeremias 47

1 A palavra do Senhor, que veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, contra os philisteos, antes que Pharaó ferisse a Gaza.

This is the word of Yahweh that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines. This word came to him before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.

2 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que se levantam as aguas do norte, e tornar-se-hão em torrente transbordante, e alagarão a terra e sua plenitude, a cidade, e os que moram n'ella; e os homens clamarão, e todos os moradores da terra uivarão;

“Yahweh says this: See, floods of water are rising in the north. They will be like an overflowing river! Then they will overflow the land and everything in it, its cities and its inhabitants! So everyone will shout for help, and all the inhabitants of the land will lament.

3 Por causa do som do estrepito das unhas dos seus fortes cavallos, por causa do arroido de seus carros e do estrondo das suas rodas: os paes não attenderam aos filhos, por causa da fraqueza das mãos;

At the sound of the stamping of their strong horses' hooves, at the roar of their chariots and the noise of their wheels, fathers will not help their children because of their own weakness.

4 Por causa do dia que vem, para destruir a todos os philisteos, para cortar a Tyro e a Sidon todo o resto que os soccorra; porque o Senhor destruirá os philisteos, o resto da ilha de Caphtor.

For the day is coming that will devastate all of the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every survivor who wants to help them. For Yahweh is devastating the Philistines, those who remain from the island of Caphtor.

5 A rapadura veiu sobre Gaza, foi desarreigada Ascalon, com o resto do seu valle: até quando te sarjarás?

Baldness will come upon Gaza. As for Ashkelon, the people who are left in their valley will be made silent. How long will you cut yourself in mourning?

6 Ah espada do Senhor! até quando deixarás de repousar? volta para a tua bainha, descança, e aquieta-te.

Woe, sword of Yahweh! How long will it be until you become silent? Go back to your scabbard! Stop and be silent.

7 Mas como te aquietarias? pois o Senhor deu-lhe mandado contra Ascalon, e contra as bordas do mar: e ali lh'o tem prescripto.

How can it rest when Yahweh has commanded it, when he has ordered it to attack Ashkelon and the coastlands along the sea?”
