Jeremiah 47

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:

法老攻击迦萨之先，有耶和华论非利士人的话临到先知耶利米。

2 “Thus said YHWH: Behold, waters are going up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fullness, The city, and those dwelling in it, And men have cried out, And every inhabitant of the land has howled.

耶和华如此说： 有水从北方发起，成为涨溢的河， 要涨过遍地和其中所有的， 并城和其中所住的。 人必呼喊； 境内的居民都必哀号。

3 From the sound of the stamping of the hooves of his mighty ones, From the rushing of his chariot, The noise of his wheels, Fathers have not turned to sons, From feebleness of hands,

听见敌人壮马蹄跳的响声 和战车隆隆、车轮轰轰； 为父的手就发软， 不回头看顾儿女。

4 Because of the day that has come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off every helping remnant from Tyre and from Sidon. For YHWH is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the island of Caphtor.

因为日子将到， 要毁灭一切非利士人， 剪除帮助泰尔、西顿所剩下的人。 原来耶和华必毁灭非利士人， 就是迦斐托海岛余剩的人。

5 Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?

迦萨成了光秃； 平原中所剩的亚实基伦归于无有。 你用刀划身，要到几时呢？

6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.

耶和华的刀剑哪，你到几时才止息呢？ 你要入鞘，安靖不动。

7 How will it be quiet, And YHWH has given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon and against the seashore? He has appointed it there!”

耶和华既吩咐你攻击亚实基伦和海边之地， 他已经派定你，焉能止息呢？
