Jeremias 47
1 Herrens Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias imod Filisterne, førend Farao slog Gaza.
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh had smitten Gaza.
2 Saa siger Herren: Se, der stige Vande op fra Norden, og de skulle vorde til en overskyllende Strøm, og de skulle overskylle Landet, og hvad der fylder det, Staden og dens Indbyggere; og Folkene skulle skrige, og alle Indbyggere i Landet hyle
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the North, And they shall become an overflowing torrent, And shall overflow the land, and all that is therein, —The city, and them that dwell therein; And the men shall cry aloud, And all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.
3 for Lyden af hans vælige Hestes Hovslag, for hans Vognes Rumlen, for hans Hjuls Bulder; Fædrene se ikke tilbage efter Børnene, fordi de have ladet Hænderne synke,
At the noise of the stamping of the horses, At the rattling of his chariots, And at the rumbling of his wheels, Fathers look not back for their children, For feebleness of hands,
4 over den Dag, som kommer for at ødelægge alle Filister, for at udrydde hver Hjælper, som er tilbage for Tyrus og Sidon; thi Herren ødelægger Filisterne, de overblevne fra Øen Kafthor.
Because of the day which cometh, To lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and from Sidon Every helper that remaineth. For Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 Gaza er bleven skaldet, Askalori er udryddet, de overblevne i deres Dal; hvor længe vil du saare dijg?
Baldness is come upon Gaza, Askelon is in ruins, And the remnant of their valley! How long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 Ve! du Herrens Sværd! hvor længe skal det vare, inden du vil holde dig rolig? far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!
Ah! sword of Jehovah, How long ere thou wilt be quiet? Retire into thy scabbard, Rest, and be still!
7 Hvorledes kan du holde dig rolig, da Herren har givet det Befaling? Imod Askalon og imod Havets Strand, derhen har han beskikket det.
But how canst thou be at rest, Since Jehovah hath given thee a charge against Askelon, And against the coast of the sea? There hath he appointed it.
