Jeremías 47
1 La palabra del Señor que vino al profeta Jeremías acerca de los filisteos, antes del ataque de Faraón en Gaza.
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 Esto es lo que ha dicho el Señor: Mira, las aguas suben desde el norte y se convertirán en una corriente desbordante, desbordando la tierra y todo lo que hay en ella, la ciudad y los que viven en ella; Y los hombres gritarán, y toda la gente de la tierra gritará de dolor.
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 Ante el ruido de la pisada de los pies de sus caballos de guerra, al correr de sus carruajes y el trueno de sus ruedas, los padres no pensarán en sus hijos, porque sus manos son débiles;
[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 Por el día que viene para la destrucción de todos los filisteos, cortando de Tiro y Sidón al último de sus aliados; porque el Señor enviará destrucción a los filisteos, al remanente de la tierra marina de Caftor.
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 La calvicie a Gaza; Ascalón ha llegado a la nada; Los últimos de su valle hasta cuando dejarán de hacerte sajaduras profundas.
[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 Espada del Señor, ¿hasta cuándo no tendrás reposo? Y volverás a tu vaina; a estar en paz, estar en silencio.
[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 ¿Cómo es posible que se calme, ya que el Señor le ha dado órdenes? contra Ascalón y contra toda la costa le ha dado instrucciones.
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.
