< Иеремия 47 >
1 Слово Господа, которое было к пророку Иеремии о Филистимлянах, прежде нежели фараон поразил Газу.
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 Так говорит Господь: вот, поднимаются воды с севера и сделаются наводняющим потоком, и потопят землю и все, что наполняет ее, город и живущих в нем; тогда возопиют люди, и зарыдают все обитатели страны.
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 От шумного топота копыт сильных коней его, от стука колесниц его, от звука колес его, отцы не оглянутся на детей своих, потому что руки у них опустятся
[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 от того дня, который придет истребить всех Филистимлян, отнять у Тира и Сидона всех остальных помощников, ибо Господь разорит Филистимлян, остаток острова Кафтора.
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 Оплешивела Газа, гибнет Аскалон, остаток долины их.
[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 Доколе будешь посекать, о, меч Господень! доколе ты не успокоишься? возвратись в ножны твои, перестань и успокойся.
[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 Но как тебе успокоиться, когда Господь дал повеление против Аскалона и против берега морского? туда Он направил его.
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.
