Jeremias 47

1Ang salita ng Panginoon na dumating kay Jeremias na propeta tungkol sa mga Filisteo, bago sinaktan ni Faraon ang Gaza. 2Ganito 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. 3Sa 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; 4Dahil 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. 5Kakalbuhan ay dumating sa Gaza; Ascalon ay napahamak, at ang nalabi sa kanilang libis: hanggang kailan magkukudlit ka? 6Oh ikaw na tabak ng Panginoon, hanggang kailan di ka tatahimik? pumasok ka sa iyong kalooban; ikaw ay magpahinga, at tumahimik. 7Paanong ikaw ay matatahimik dangang binigyan ka ng Panginoon ng bilin? laban sa Ascalon, at laban sa baybayin ng dagat ay doon niya itinakda.

1Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza. 2Thus says Yahweh: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and those who dwell therein; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail. 3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don’t look back to their children for feebleness of hands; 4because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor. 5Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself? 6You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your scabbard; rest, and be still. 7How can you be quiet, since Yahweh has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.

1Het woord des HEEREN, dat tot den profeet Jeremia geschiedde, tegen de Filistijnen; eer dat Farao Gaza sloeg. 2Zo zegt de HEERE: Ziet, wateren komen op van het noorden, en zullen worden tot een overlopende beek, en overlopen het land en de volheid van hetzelve, de stad en die daarin wonen; en de mensen zullen schreeuwen, en al de inwoners des lands zullen huilen; 3Vanwege het geluid van het geklater der hoeven zijner sterke paarden, vanwege het geraas zijner wagenen, en het bulderen zijner raderen; de vaders zien niet om naar de kinderen, vanwege de slappigheid der handen; 4Vanwege den dag, die er komt om alle Filistijnen te verstoren, om Tyrus en Sidon allen overgeblevenen helper af te snijden; want de HEERE zal de Filistijnen, het overblijfsel des eilands van Kafthor, verstoren. 5Kaalheid is op Gaza gekomen; Askelon is uitgeroeid, met het overblijfsel huns dals; hoe lang zult gij uzelven insnijdingen maken? 6O wee, gij zwaard des HEEREN! Hoe lang zult gij niet stil houden? Vaar in uw schede, rust en wees stil! 7Hoe zoudt gij stil houden? De HEERE heeft toch aan het zwaard bevel gegeven; tegen Askelon en tegen de zeehaven, aldaar heeft Hij het besteld.
