Jeremiah 47
1 This is the message from the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.
HERRENs Ord, som kom til profeten Jeremias om filistrene, før Farao slog Gaza.
2 This is what the Lord says: Look at the waters rising from the north! They will become an overflowing river that sweeps across the country and everything in it, flooding the towns and everyone's homes. The people will cry out for help; everyone who lives in the country will weep,
Så 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 as they hear the sound of stallions charging, the rattling of chariots and the rumble of their wheels. Fathers won't go back to help their sons—they have no strength because they're terrified.
For Lyden af hans Hingstes Hovslag, hans Vognes Drøn, hans raslende Hjul får Fædre ej set efter Bøm, thi Hænderne er slappe,
4 The day has arrived when all the Philistines will be destroyed, when Tyre and Sidon will have no more allies to help them. The Lord is going to destroy the Philistines, those who are left from the island of Crete.
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 The people of Gaza will shave their heads; the town of Ashkelon lies in ruins. You who are left on the coastal plain, how long will you go on cutting yourself?
Skaldet er Gaza blevet, Askalon tilintetgjort. Du Rest af Anakiter, hvor længe vil du såre dig?
6 Oh sword of the Lord, when are you going to stop killing? Go back in your sheath. Stop killing and stay there!
Ve, HERRENs Sværd, hvornår vil du falde til Ro? Far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!
7 But how can the sword stop killing when the Lord has given it orders to attack Ashkelon and its coastlands?
Hvorledes får det Ro, når HERREN opbød det mod Askalon og Havets Strand og stævned det did?
