Jeremija 47
1 Rijeè Gospodnja koja doðe Jeremiji proroku za Filisteje prije nego Faraon osvoji Gazu.
So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against the Philistines, —before Pharaoh smote Gaza:
2 Ovako veli Gospod: evo, voda dolazi sa sjevera, i biæe kao potok koji se razljeva, i potopiæe zemlju i što je u njoj, grad i one koji žive u njemu; i ljudi æe vikati, i ridaæe svi stanovnici zemaljski.
Thus, saith Yahweh—Lo! waters rising from the North And they shall become a torrent overflowing, Which shall overflow The land and the fulness thereof, The city, and the dwellers therein, —Then shall men make outcry, And all the inhabitants of the land, howl.
3 Od topota kopita jakih konja njegovijeh, od tutnjave kola njegovijeh, i praske toèkova njegovijeh, neæe se obazreti ocevi na sinove, jer æe im ruke klonuti,
Because of the sound of the tramping of the hoofs of his chargers, Because of the rushing of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels Fathers shall not turn, to children, Because of the unnerving of their hands;
4 Od onoga dana koji æe doæi da istrijebi sve Filisteje i da zatre Tir i Sidon i sve ostale pomoænike, jer æe Gospod istrijebiti Filisteje, ostatak ostrva Kaftora.
On account of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and Zidon every escaped one that could have helped, —For Yahweh is laying waste the Philistines, The remnant of the Coastland of Caphtor.
5 Oæelaviæe Gaza, propašæe Askalon i ostatak doline njihove; dokle æeš se rezati?
Baldness hath come, upon Gaza, Silenced is Ashkelon the remnant of their vale, —How long, wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Jaoh, maèu Gospodnji, kad æeš se smiriti? vrati se u korice svoje, stani i smiri se.
Ah! thou sword of Yahweh, How long, wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, Rest thyself and be still.
7 Ali kako bi se smirio? jer mu Gospod dade zapovijest na Askalon i na primorje; onamo ga odredi.
How, can it be quiet, when, Yahweh, hath given it a charge, —against Ashkelon and against the shore of the sea? There, hath he appointed it!
