Jeremija 47

1 Beseda od Gospoda, ki je prišla preroku Jeremiju zoper Filistejce, preden je faraon udaril Gazo.

The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.

2 »Tako govori Gospod: ›Glej, vode se dvigujejo iz severa in bodo preplavljajoča poplava in bodo poplavile deželo in vse, kar je v njej; mesto in tiste, ki prebivajo v njem. Potem bodo ljudje jokali in vsi prebivalci dežele bodo tulili

Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,

3 ob hrupu topotanja kopit njegovih močnih konj, ob drvenju njegovih bojnih voz in ob hrumenju njegovih koles. Očetje ne bodo gledali nazaj k svojim otrokom zaradi slabotnosti rok,

before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,

4 zaradi dneva, ki prihaja, da opleni vse Filistejce in da iztrebi iz Tira in Sidóna vsakega pomočnika, ki preostaja, kajti Gospod bo oplenil Filistejce, ostanek dežele Kaftor.

because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.

5 Plešavost je prišla nad Gazo; Aškelón je iztrebljen s preostankom njihove doline. Doklej boš zarezoval samega sebe?

Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?

6 Oh ti, Gospodov meč, kako dolgo bo trajalo, preden boš tiho? Spravi se v svojo nožnico, počivaj in bodi miren.

O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.

7 Kako je lahko tiho, glede na to, da mu je Gospod dal naročilo zoper Aškelón in zoper morsko obalo? Tam ga je on določil.‹«

But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?”
