Jeremiah 47
1 The word of Jehovah that came to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gazah.
Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam contra Palæsthinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam:
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,
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 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;
a strepitu pompæ armorum, et bellatorum eius, a commotione quadrigarum eius, et multitudine rotarum illius. Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis
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.
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 Baldness is come upon Gazah; Ashkelon is cut off, the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?
Venit calvitium super Gazam: conticuit Ascalon, et reliquiæ vallis earum, usquequo concideris?
6 Alas! sword of Jehovah, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Withdraw into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
O mucro Domini usquequo non quiesces? Ingredere in vaginam tuam, refrigerare, et sile.
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.
Quomodo quiescet cum Dominus præceperit ei adversus Ascalonem, et adversus maritimas eius regiones, ibique condixerit illi?
