Jeremiæ 47
1 Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam contra Palaesthinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 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
"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 a strepitu pompae armorum, et bellatorum eius, a commotione quadrigarum eius, et multitudine rotarum illius. Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis
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 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.
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 Venit calvitium super Gazam: conticuit Ascalon, et reliquiae vallis earum, usquequo concideris?
Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself?
6 O mucro Domini usquequo non quiesces? Ingredere in vaginam tuam, refrigerare, et sile.
You sword of the LORD, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put yourself into your sheath; rest, and be still."
7 Quomodo quiescet cum Dominus praeceperit ei adversus Ascalonem, et adversus maritimas eius regiones, ibique condixerit illi?
How can it be quiet, since the LORD has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
