Jeremiah 47

1 The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.

Riječ koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji o Filistejcima prije nego što faraon osvoji Gazu.

2 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,

Ovako reče Jahve: “Evo, vode se dižu sa Sjevera i kao nabujali brzaci poplavljuju zemlju i sve što je na njoj, gradove i sve njihovo pučanstvo. I ljudi vapiju, i kukaju svi žitelji zemlje,

3 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels: fathers shall not look back for [their] children, from feebleness of hands;

uz tutanj kopita njegove ždrebadi, uza štropot kola i tresku točkova. Oci više ne mare za djecu svoju jer su im ruke klonule

4 because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.

zbog dana što osvanu da Filistejce istrijebi, da zatre Tiru i Sidonu sve do posljednjeg pomagača. Jer Jahve istrebljuje Filistejce, i sav ostatak otočja kaftorskog.

5 Baldness is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

Gazi će biti obrijana glava, razoren Aškelon. A ti, Ašdode, ostače Anakovaca, dokle će te tuga razdirati?

6 Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Jao, maču Jahvin, kad li ćeš se smiriti? Vrati se u korice, stani i počini!”

7 How shouldest thou be quiet? — For Jehovah hath given it a charge: against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.

Ali kako da se smiri, kad Jahvina ruka njime zapovijeda: na Aškelon i na morski žal on ga isuka.
