Jeremiæ 47
1 Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophetam contra Palaesthinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam:
That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smiteth 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 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.
3 a strepitu pompae armorum, et bellatorum eius, a commotione quadrigarum eius, et multitudine rotarum illius. Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis
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,
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 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.
5 Venit calvitium super Gazam: conticuit Ascalon, et reliquiae vallis earum, usquequo concideris?
Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself?
6 O mucro Domini usquequo non quiesces? Ingredere in vaginam tuam, refrigerare, et sile.
Ho, sword of Jehovah, till when art thou not quiet? Be removed unto thy sheath, rest and cease.
7 Quomodo quiescet cum Dominus praeceperit ei adversus Ascalonem, et adversus maritimas eius regiones, ibique condixerit illi?
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!'
