エレミヤ書 47

1 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

The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.

2 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

"Thus says the LORD: 'Look, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

3 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

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 do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

4 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

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.

5 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

Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?

6 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

You sword of the LORD, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."

7 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

How can it be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
