Jeremiah 47

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Philistines, before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.

كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي صَارَتْ إِلَى إِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ عَنِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ قَبْلَ ضَرْبِ فِرْعَوْنَ غَزَّةَ:

Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

«هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: هَا مِيَاهٌ تَصْعَدُ مِنَ الشِّمَالِ وَتَكُونُ سَيْلاً جَارِفًا، فَتُغَشِّي الأَرْضَ وَمِلأَهَا، الْمَدِينَةَ وَالسَّاكِنِينَ فِيهَا، فَيَصْرُخُ النَّاسُ، وَيُوَلْوِلُ كُلُّ سُكَّانِ الأَرْضِ.

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

مِنْ صَوْتِ قَرْعِ حَوَافِرِ أَقْوِيَائِهِ، مِنْ صَرِيرِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَصَرِيفِ بَكَرَاتِهِ لاَ تَلْتَفِتُ الآبَاءُ إِلَى الْبَنِينَ، بِسَبَبِ ارْتِخَاءِ الأَيَادِي.

Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

بِسَبَبِ الْيَوْمِ الآتِي لِهَلاَكِ كُلِّ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، لِيَنْقَرِضَ مِنْ صُورَ وَصَيْدُونَ كُلُّ بَقِيَّةٍ تُعِينُ، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُهْلِكُ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ، بَقِيَّةَ جَزِيرَةِ كَفْتُورَ.

Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

أَتَى الصُّلْعُ عَلَى غَزَّةَ. أُهْلِكَتْ أَشْقَلُونُ مَعَ بَقِيَّةِ وَطَائِهِمْ. حَتَّى مَتَى تَخْمِشِينَ نَفْسَكِ.

O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

آهِ، يَا سَيْفَ الرَّبِّ، حَتَّى مَتَى لاَ تَسْتَرِيحُ؟ انْضَمَّ إِلَى غِمْدِكَ! اهْدَأْ وَاسْكُنْ.

How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.

كَيْفَ يَسْتَرِيحُ وَالرَّبُّ قَدْ أَوْصَاهُ عَلَى أَشْقَلُونَ، وَعَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ هُنَاكَ وَاعَدَهُ؟».
