Jeremiah 47
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
HERRENS Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias om Filisterne, før Farao slog Gaza.
2 Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,
Saa siger HERREN: Se, Vande stiger fra Nord, de bliver en Strøm, der svømmer over, de oversvømmer Landet og dets Fylde, Byerne og dem, som bor der. Menneskene skriger og jamrer, alle, som bor i Landet.
3 before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,
For Lyden af hans Hingstes Hovslag, hans Vognes Drøn, hans raslende Hjul faar Fædre ej set efter Børn, thi Hænderne er slappe,
4 because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.
nu Dagen er kommet at ødelægge alle Filistre, at udrydde hver Hjælper, som levnes Tyrus og Zidon; thi HERREN ødelægger Filisterne, Resten af Kaftors Ø.
5 Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?
Skaldet er Gaza blevet, Askalon tilintetgjort. Du Rest af Anakiter, hvor længe vil du saare dig?
6 O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.
Ve, HERRENS Sværd, hvornaar vil du falde til Ro? Far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!
7 But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?”
Hvorledes faar det Ro, naar HERREN opbød det mod Askalon og Havets Strand og stævned det did?
