耶利米書 47

1 法老攻擊迦薩之先，有耶和華論非利士人的話臨到先知耶利米。

The wordes of the Lord that came to Ieremiah the Prophet, against the Philistims, before that Pharaoh smote Azzah.

2 耶和華如此說： 有水從北方發起，成為漲溢的河， 要漲過遍地和其中所有的， 並城和其中所住的。 人必呼喊； 境內的居民都必哀號。

Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, waters rise vp out of the North, and shalbe as a swelling flood, and shall ouerflowe the land, and all that is therein, and the cities with them that dwell therein: then the men shall crie, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howle,

3 聽見敵人壯馬蹄跳的響聲 和戰車隆隆、車輪轟轟； 為父的手就發軟， 不回頭看顧兒女。

At the noise and stamping of ye hoofes of his strong horses, at the noise of his charets, and at the rumbling of his wheeles: ye fathers shall not looke backe to their children, for feeblenes of handes,

4 因為日子將到， 要毀滅一切非利士人， 剪除幫助泰爾、西頓所剩下的人。 原來耶和華必毀滅非利士人， 就是迦斐託海島餘剩的人。

Because of the day that commeth to destroy all the Philistims, and to destroy Tyrus, and Zidon, and all the rest that take their part: for the Lord will destroy the Philistims, the remnant of the yle of Caphtor.

5 迦薩成了光禿； 平原中所剩的亞實基倫歸於無有。 你用刀劃身，要到幾時呢？

Baldenes is come vpon Azzah: Ashkelon is cut vp with the rest of their valleys. Howe long wilt thou thy selfe?

6 耶和華的刀劍哪，你到幾時才止息呢？ 你要入鞘，安靖不動。

O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be or thou cease! turne againe into thy scaberd, rest and be still.

7 耶和華既吩咐你攻擊亞實基倫和海邊之地， 他已經派定你，焉能止息呢？

Howe can it cease, seeing the Lord hath giuen it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea banke? euen there hath he appointed it.
