¹The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.

¹Slovo Hospodinovo, ktoré sa stalo k prorokovi Jeremiášovi proti Filištínom prv ako zbil faraon Gazu.

²Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,

²Takto hovorí Hospodin: Hľa, vody vystupujú hore od severa a obrátia sa na rozvodnený potok a zaplavia zem i jej náplň, mesto i tých, ktorí bývajú v ňom. Preto budú kričať ľudia a kvíliť budú všetci obyvatelia zeme.

³at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels: fathers shall not look back for [their] children, from feebleness of hands;

³Pre zvuk dupotu kopýt jeho mocných koní; pre hrmot jeho vozov, pre hrkot jeho kolies neobzrú sa otcovia na synov, pre ochablosť rúk,

⁴because of the day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.

⁴pre deň, ktorý prijde zkaziť všetkých Filištínov a vyplieniť Týru a Sidonu všetok zbytok pomocníka. Lebo Hospodin bude kaziť Filištínov, ostatok ostrova Kaftora.

⁵Baldness is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

⁵Prijde plešina na Gazu, zničený bude Aškalon, ostatok ich údolia. Dokedy sa budeš rezať v žiali?

⁶Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

⁶Beda, meč Hospodinov! Dokedy ešte sa neupokojíš? Navráť sa do svojej pošvy, utíš sa a umĺkni!

⁷How shouldest thou be quiet? -- For Jehovah hath given it a charge: against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.

⁷Ale jakože sa upokojíš?! - Veď mu rozkázal Hospodin! Proti Aškalonu a proti brehu mora, ta ho postavil.
