Jeremiah, 47

1. The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.

1. Rijeè koju Jahve uputi proroku Jeremiji o Filistejcima prije nego što faraon osvoji Gazu.

2. 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,

2. Ovako reèe Jahve: "Evo, vode se dižu sa Sjevera i kao nabujali brzaci poplavljuju zemlju i sve što je na njoj, gradove i sve njihovo puèanstvo. I ljudi vapiju, i kukaju svi žitelji zemlje,

3. 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,

3. uz tutanj kopita njegove ždrebadi, uza štropot kola i tresku toèkova. Oci više ne mare za djecu svoju jer su im ruke klonule

4. 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.

4. zbog dana što osvanu da Filistejce istrijebi, da zatre Tiru i Sidonu sve do posljednjeg pomagaèa. Jer Jahve istrebljuje Filistejce, i sav ostatak otoèja kaftorskog.

5. 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?

5. Gazi æe biti obrijana glava, razoren Aškelon. A ti, Ašdode, ostaèe Anakovaca, dokle æe te tuga razdirati?

6. O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.

6. Jao, maèu Jahvin, kad li æeš se smiriti? Vrati se u korice, stani i poèini!"

7. 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?”

7. Ali kako da se smiri, kad Jahvina ruka njime zapovijeda: na Aškelon i na morski žal on ga isuka.

47:1-3 - The prophecy against the Philistines is pronounced, highlighting the coming of God's judgment upon the coastal cities. This demonstrates that no people are beyond the reach of His judgment, regardless of their strength or position (see also Amos 1:6-8 and Ezekiel 25:15-17).

47:4-5 - God's judgment on the Philistines will be severe, bringing destruction and mourning. Human responsibility for sins and injustices is emphasized, with punishment reflecting the evil committed (see also Isaiah 14:29-32 and Ezekiel 25:15-17).

47:6-7 - The land of Philistia is described as an area of mourning, with the hope of recovery, but with the emphasis that God's judgment is irreversible. Repentance can be the key to God's mercy (see also Joel 2:12-13 and Revelation 3:19).

47:8-11 - The prophecy speaks of the destruction of key Philistine cities, such as Gaza and Ashkelon, which would be invaded and destroyed. This highlights human inability to withstand the power of God, who acts in justice (see also Isaiah 25:4-5 and Ezekiel 30:18-19).

47:12-14 - Despite the devastation, God promises that the Philistines, like other nations, will have a chance to repent, but the consequences of disobedience will be severe (see also 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Zechariah 1:3).

I will destroy them, and there will be no one left." - Zephaniah, like Jeremiah 47, prophesies the destruction of the Philistine cities.

From the north comes a cloud of smoke, and no one strays from their ranks." - Isaiah, like Jeremiah 47, prophesies against Philistia, warning of the coming of an enemy from the north.
