Jeremías 47
1 Palabra de Yavé que vino al profeta Jeremías con respecto a los filisteos, antes que Faraón destruyera Gaza.
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines, before Pharaoh's attack on Gaza.
2 Yavé dice: Miren, aguas que se levantan del norte forman un torrente que inundará la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella, las ciudades y a los que habitan en ellas. Claman los hombres. Se lamenta todo habitante de la tierra.
This is what the Lord has said: See, waters are coming up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, overflowing the land and everything in it, the town and those who are living in it; and men will give a cry, and all the people of the land will be crying out in pain.
3 Los padres debilitados ya no cuidan a sus hijos por causa del ruido de los cascos de sus caballos, por el alboroto de sus carruajes, por el estruendo de sus ruedas.
At the noise of the stamping of the feet of his war-horses, at the rushing of his carriages and the thunder of his wheels, fathers will give no thought to their children, because their hands are feeble;
4 Llegó el día de despojar a todos los filisteos. Todo ayudador que quede en Tiro y en Sidón será cortado. Yavé destruye a los filisteos, al remanente de la costa de Caftor.
Because of the day which is coming with destruction on all the Philistines, cutting off from Tyre and Zidon the last of their helpers: for the Lord will send destruction on the Philistines, the rest of the sea-land of Caphtor.
5 Gaza está calva. Ascalón, reducida al silencio. ¡Ay, remanente de gigantes! ¿Hasta cuándo se sajarán?
The hair is cut off from the head of Gaza; Ashkelon has come to nothing; the last of the Anakim are deeply wounding themselves.
6 Oh espada de Yavé: ¿Hasta cuándo no descansarás? Regresa a tu vaina, descansa y quédate quieta.
O sword of the Lord, how long will you have no rest? put yourself back into your cover; be at peace, be quiet.
7 ¿Cómo puede quedar quieta, cuando Yavé le dio una orden, cuando la destinó contra Ascalón y la costa del mar?
How is it possible for it to be quiet, seeing that the Lord has given it orders? against Ashkelon and against the sea-land he has given it directions.
