< Jeremiah 47 >

1 That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh strikes Gaza:
Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam contra Palaesthinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam:
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.
Haec dicit Dominus: Ecce aquae descendunt ab Aquilone, et erunt quasi torrens inundans, et operient terram, et plenitudinem eius, urbem et habitatores eius: clamabunt homines, et ululabunt omnes habitatores terrae
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,
a strepitu pompae armorum, et bellatorum eius, a commotione quadrigarum eius, et multitudine rotarum illius. Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis
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.
pro adventu diei, in quo vastabuntur omnes Philisthiim, et dissipabitur Tyrus, et Sidon cum omnibus reliquis auxiliis suis. depopulatus est enim Dominus Palaesthinos, reliquias insulae Cappadociae.
5 Baldness has come to Gaza, Ashkelon has been cut off, O remnant of their valley, Until when do you cut yourself?
Venit calvitium super Gazam: conticuit Ascalon, et reliquiae vallis earum, usquequo concideris?
6 Behold, sword of YHWH, until when are you not quiet? Be removed to your sheath, rest and cease.
O mucro Domini usquequo non quiesces? Ingredere in vaginam tuam, refrigerare, et sile.
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!”
Quomodo quiescet cum Dominus praeceperit ei adversus Ascalonem, et adversus maritimas eius regiones, ibique condixerit illi?
