Jeremiah 47

1 The wordes of the Lord that came to Ieremiah the Prophet, against the Philistims, before that Pharaoh smote Azzah.

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

2 Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, waters rise vp out of the North, and shalbe as a swelling flood, and shall ouerflowe the land, and all that is therein, and the cities with them that dwell therein: then the men shall crie, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howle,

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 and stamping of ye hoofes of his strong horses, at the noise of his charets, and at the rumbling of his wheeles: ye fathers shall not looke backe to their children, for feeblenes of handes,

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 commeth to destroy all the Philistims, and to destroy Tyrus, and Zidon, and all the rest that take their part: for the Lord will destroy the Philistims, the remnant of the yle 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 Baldenes is come vpon Azzah: Ashkelon is cut vp with the rest of their valleys. Howe long wilt thou thy selfe?

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

6 O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be or thou cease! turne againe into thy scaberd, rest and be still.

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

7 Howe can it cease, seeing the Lord hath giuen it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea banke? euen there hath he appointed it.

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