Jeremiah 47

1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smiteth Gaza:

パロがガザを撃ざりし先にペリシテ人の事につきて預言者ヱレミヤに臨みしヱホバの言

2 'Thus said Jehovah: Lo, waters are coming up from the north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they overflow the land and its fulness, The city, and the inhabitants in it, And men have cried out, And howled hath every inhabitant of the land.

ヱホバかくいひたまふ視よ水北より起り溢れながれて此地と其中の諸の物とその邑と其中に住る者とに溢れかかるべしその時人衆は叫びこの地に住る者は皆哭くべし

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

その逞しき馬の蹄の蹴たつる音のため其車の響のため其輪の轟のために父は手弱りて己の子女を顧みざるなり

4 Because of the day that hath come to spoil all the Philistines, To cut off to Tyre and to Zidon every helping remnant. For Jehovah is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant of the isle of Caphtor.

是ペリシテ人を滅しつくしツロとシドンにのこりて助力をなす者を悉く絕す日來ればなりヱホバ、カフトルの地に遺れるペリシテ人を滅したまふべし

5 Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself?

ガザには髮を剃るの事はじまるアシケロンと其剩餘の平地は滅ぼさる汝いつまで身に傷くるや

6 Ho, sword of Jehovah, till when art thou not quiet? Be removed unto thy sheath, rest and cease.

ヱホバの劍よ汝いつまで息まざるや汝の鞘に歸りて息み靜まれ

7 How shall it be quiet, And Jehovah hath given a charge to it, Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? There hath He appointed it!'

ヱホバこれに命じたるなればいかで息むことをえんやアシケロンと海邊を攻ることを定めたまへり
