Jeremías 47
1Palabra que dijo Yahvé al profeta Jeremías, acerca de los filisteos, antes que el Faraón derrotara a Gaza. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.2Así dice Yahvé: “He aquí aguas que avanzan del Norte, como torrente que inunda; inundan el país y su amplitud, la ciudad y sus habitantes. Claman los hombres y dan alaridos todos los moradores del país, Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,3al estrépito de los cascos de sus caballos, al estruendo de sus carros y al ruido de sus ruedas. Los padres no miran ya por sus hijos; les faltan las fuerzas, before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,4pues llegó el día para destruir a todos los filisteos; para privar a Tiro y Sidón del postrer aliado. Porque Yahvé va a destruir a los filisteos, el residuo de la isla de Caftor. because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.5Sobre Gaza viene la calvicie, Ascalón, resto de los gigantes, es reducida a silencio. ¿Hasta cuándo te harás incisiones? Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?6¡Ay espada de Yahvé! ¿Cuándo descansarás? ¡Vuélvete a tu vaina, descansa y calla! O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.7¿Mas cómo podrás descansar cuando Yahvé te ha dado orden? Es contra Ascalón y la costa del mar adonde Él la dirige.” But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?”
