Jeremiah 47

1 The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.

HERRENS Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias om Filisterne, før Farao slog Gaza.

2 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,

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 at the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his steeds, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels: fathers shall not look back for [their] children, from 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 day that cometh to lay waste all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper that remaineth; for Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Caphtor.

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 is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

Skaldet er Gaza blevet, Askalon tilintetgjort. Du Rest af Anakiter, hvor længe vil du saare dig?

6 Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Ve, HERRENS Sværd, hvornaar vil du falde til Ro? Far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!

7 How shouldest thou be quiet? — For Jehovah hath given it a charge: against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore, there hath he appointed it.

Hvorledes faar det Ro, naar HERREN opbød det mod Askalon og Havets Strand og stævned det did?
