Jeremiah 47
1 The LORD’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh struck Gaza.
Herrens Ord, som kom til Profeten Jeremias imod Filisterne, førend Farao slog Gaza.
2 The LORD says: “Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, and will overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and those who dwell therein. The men will cry, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail.
Saa siger Herren: Se, der stige Vande op fra Norden, og de skulle vorde til en overskyllende Strøm, og de skulle overskylle Landet, og hvad der fylder det, Staden og dens Indbyggere; og Folkene skulle skrige, og alle Indbyggere i Landet hyle
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don’t look back for their children because their hands are so feeble,
for Lyden af hans vælige Hestes Hovslag, for hans Vognes Rumlen, for hans Hjuls Bulder; Fædrene se ikke tilbage efter Børnene, fordi de have ladet Hænderne synke,
4 because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains; for the LORD will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor.
over den Dag, som kommer for at ødelægge alle Filister, for at udrydde hver Hjælper, som er tilbage for Tyrus og Sidon; thi Herren ødelægger Filisterne, de overblevne fra Øen Kafthor.
5 Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing. You remnant of their valley, how long will you cut yourself?
Gaza er bleven skaldet, Askalori er udryddet, de overblevne i deres Dal; hvor længe vil du saare dijg?
6 “‘You sword of the LORD, how long will it be before you are quiet? Put yourself back into your scabbard; rest, and be still.’
Ve! du Herrens Sværd! hvor længe skal det vare, inden du vil holde dig rolig? far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!
7 “How can you be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there he has appointed it.”
Hvorledes kan du holde dig rolig, da Herren har givet det Befaling? Imod Askalon og imod Havets Strand, derhen har han beskikket det.
