Jeremiah 47
1 This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh struck down Gaza.
Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam contra Palæsthinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam:
2 This is what the LORD says: “See how the waters are rising from the north and becoming an overflowing torrent. They will overflow the land and its fullness, the cities and their inhabitants. The people will cry out, and all who dwell in the land will wail
Hæc dicit Dominus: Ecce aquæ ascendunt ab Aquilone, et erunt quasi torrens inundans, et operient terram, et plenitudinem eius, urbem et habitatores eius: clamabunt homines, et ululabunt omnes habitatores terræ
3 at the sound of the galloping hooves of stallions, the rumbling of chariots, and the clatter of their wheels. The fathers will not turn back for their sons; their hands will hang limp.
a strepitu pompæ armorum, et bellatorum eius, a commotione quadrigarum eius, et multitudine rotarum illius. Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis
4 For the day has come to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every remaining ally. Indeed, the LORD is about to destroy the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.
pro adventu diei, in quo vastabuntur omnes Philisthiim, et dissipabitur Tyrus, et Sidon cum omnibus reliquis auxiliis suis. Depopulatus est enim Dominus Palæsthinos, reliquias insulæ Cappadociæ.
5 The people of Gaza will shave their heads in mourning; Ashkelon will be silenced. O remnant of their valley, how long will you gash yourself?
Venit calvitium super Gazam: conticuit Ascalon, et reliquiæ vallis earum, usquequo concideris?
6 ‘Alas, O sword of the LORD, how long until you rest? Return to your sheath; cease and be still!’
O mucro Domini usquequo non quiesces? Ingredere in vaginam tuam, refrigerare, et sile.
7 How can it rest when the LORD has commanded it? He has appointed it against Ashkelon and the shore of its coastland.”
Quomodo quiescet cum Dominus præceperit ei adversus Ascalonem, et adversus maritimas eius regiones, ibique condixerit illi?
