Jeremiah 47
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.
Herrens Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias imod Filisterne, førend Farao slog Gaza.
2 Thus says Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and those who dwell therein. And the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail
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
3 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels. The fathers do not look back to their sons for feebleness of hands,
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,
4 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains. For Jehovah will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
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.
5 Baldness has come upon Gaza. Ashkelon is brought to naught, the remnant of their valley. How long will thou cut thyself?
Gaza er bleven skaldet, Askalori er udryddet, de overblevne i deres Dal; hvor længe vil du saare dijg?
6 O thou sword of Jehovah, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? Put up thyself into thy scabbard. Rest, and be still.
Ve! du Herrens Sværd! hvor længe skal det vare, inden du vil holde dig rolig? far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!
7 How can thou be quiet, since Jehovah has given thee a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea-shore. He has appointed it there.
Hvorledes kan du holde dig rolig, da Herren har givet det Befaling? Imod Askalon og imod Havets Strand, derhen har han beskikket det.
