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.
Palabra de Jehová que fue a Jeremías profeta acerca de los Palestinos, antes que Faraón hiriese a Gaza.
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.
Así dijo Jehová: He aquí que suben aguas de la parte del aquilón, y tornarse han en arroyo, y alagarán la tierra, y su plenitud, ciudades y moradores de ellas; y los hombres clamarán, y todo morador de la tierra aullará,
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].
Por el sonido de las uñas de sus fuertes caballos, por el alboroto de sus carros, por el estruendo de sus ruedas: los padres no miraron a los hijos por la flaqueza de las manos:
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].
Por el día que viene para destrucción de todos los Palestinos, para talar a Tiro, y a Sidón, a todo ayudador que quedó vivo; porque Jehová destruye a los Palestinos, al resto de la isla de Capadocia.
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]?”
Sobre Gaza vino mesadura, Ascalón fue cortada, y el resto de su valle: ¿hasta cuándo te arañarás?
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!”
O! cuchillo de Jehová, ¿hasta cuándo no reposarás? Métete en tu vaina, reposa, y calla.
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.
¿Cómo reposarás? porque Jehová le ha enviado en Ascalón, y a la ribera de la mar, allí le puso.
