إِرْمِيَا 47

١ 1 كَلِمَةُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا ٱلنَّبِيِّ عَنِ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَبْلَ ضَرْبِ فِرْعَوْنَ غَزَّةَ:

This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh struck down Gaza.

٢ 2 «هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: هَا مِيَاهٌ تَصْعَدُ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَتَكُونُ سَيْلًا جَارِفًا، فَتُغَشِّي ٱلْأَرْضَ وَمِلْأَهَا، ٱلْمَدِينَةَ وَٱلسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا، فَيَصْرُخُ ٱلنَّاسُ، وَيُوَلْوِلُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ ٱلأَرْضِ.

This is what the LORD says: “See how the waters are rising from the north and becoming an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and its fullness, the cities and their inhabitants. The people will cry out, and all who dwell in the land will wail

٣ 3 مِنْ صَوْتِ قَرْعِ حَوَافِرِ أَقْوِيَائِهِ، مِنْ صَرِيرِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَصَرِيفِ بَكَرَاتِهِ لَا تَلْتَفِتُ ٱلْآبَاءُ إِلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ، بِسَبَبِ ٱرْتِخَاءِ ٱلْأَيَادِي.

at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels. The fathers will not turn back for their sons; their hands will hang limp.

٤ 4 بِسَبَبِ ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْآتِي لِهَلَاكِ كُلِّ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِيَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ صُورَ وَصَيْدُونَ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةٍ تُعِينُ، لِأَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُهْلِكُ ٱلْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، بَقِيَّةَ جَزِيرَةِ كَفْتُورَ.

For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.

٥ 5 أَتَى ٱلصُّلْعُ عَلَى غَزَّةَ. أُهْلِكَتْ أَشْقَلُونُ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ وَطَائِهِمْ. حَتَّى مَتَى تَخْمِشِينَ نَفْسَكِ.

The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?

٦ 6 آهِ، يَا سَيْفَ ٱلرَّبِّ، حَتَّى مَتَى لَا تَسْتَرِيحُ؟ ٱنْضَمَّ إِلَى غِمْدِكَ! ٱهْدَأْ وَٱسْكُنْ.

‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’

٧ 7 كَيْفَ يَسْتَرِيحُ وَٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ أَوْصَاهُ عَلَى أَشْقَلُونَ، وَعَلَى سَاحِلِ ٱلْبَحْرِ هُنَاكَ وَاعَدَهُ؟».

How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”
