< Jeremiah 47 >

1 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.
Az a szó, a melyet az Úr szóla Jeremiás prófétának a Filiszteusok felől, mielőtt megverte a Faraó Gázát.
2 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.
Ezt mondja az Úr: Ímé, víz indul meg északról, és olyan lesz, mint a kiáradott folyó, és elárasztja a földet és annak mindenét, a várost és annak lakosait, és kiáltanak az emberek, és a föld minden lakosa ordít.
3 [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].
Ménei patáinak csattogó hangjától, szekereinek zörgésétől, kerekeinek zúgásától nem gondolnak az atyák a fiakra erejök ellankadása miatt.
4 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].
És a nap miatt, mely eljött, hogy elpusztítsa egész Filiszteát, kivágja Tírust és Szidont és segítségének minden megmaradt töredékét, mert az Úr elrontja Filiszteát, a Káftor szigetének maradékát.
5 [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]?”
Kopaszság lepte meg Gázát, Askalon elnémult, maradéka az ő völgyüknek: meddig vagdalod magadat?
6 [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!”
Oh szablyája az Úrnak, meddig nem nyugszol meg? Rejtsd el magadat a te hüvelyedbe, nyugodjál meg és hallgass!
7 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.
Miképen nyughatik meg, holott az Úr parancsolt néki? Askalonra és a tenger partjára oda rendelte őt.
