إِرْمِيَا 47

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

That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes 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.

“Thus said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.

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

From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From feebleness of hands,

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

Because of the day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island of Caphtor.

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

Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?

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

Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.

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

How will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”
