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.
Ang salita ng Panginoon na dumating kay Jeremias na propeta tungkol sa mga Filisteo, bago sinaktan ni Faraon ang 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.
Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Narito, tubig ay umaahon mula sa hilagaan, at magiging baha, at aapawan ang lupain at ang lahat na nangaroon, ang bayan at ang nagsisitahan doon; at ang mga tao ay magsisihiyaw, at lahat ng mananahan sa lupain ay magsisitangis.
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].
Sa ingay ng lagapak ng mga kuko ng kaniyang mga malakas, sa hagibis ng kaniyang mga karo, sa hugong ng kaniyang mga gulong, hindi nililingon ng mga magulang ang kanilang mga anak dahil sa kahinaan ng mga kamay;
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].
Dahil sa araw na dumarating upang lipulin ang lahat ng Filisteo, upang ihiwalay sa Tiro at Sidon, ang bawa't manunulongan na nalabi: sapagka't lilipulin ng Panginoon ang mga Filisteo, ang nalabi sa pulo ng Caphtor.
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]?”
Kakalbuhan ay dumating sa Gaza; Ascalon ay napahamak, at ang nalabi sa kanilang libis: hanggang kailan magkukudlit ka?
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 ikaw na tabak ng Panginoon, hanggang kailan di ka tatahimik? pumasok ka sa iyong kalooban; ikaw ay magpahinga, at tumahimik.
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.
Paanong ikaw ay matatahimik dangang binigyan ka ng Panginoon ng bilin? laban sa Ascalon, at laban sa baybayin ng dagat ay doon niya itinakda.
