Jeremiæ 47
1 quod factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam prophetam contra Palestinos antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam
The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza.
2 haec dicit Dominus ecce aquae ascendunt ab aquilone et erunt quasi torrens inundans et operient terram et plenitudinem eius urbem et habitatores eius clamabunt homines et ululabit omnis habitator terrae
"Thus says Jehovah: '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 ab 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 Philisthim et dissipabitur Tyrus et Sidon cum omnibus reliquis auxiliis suis depopulatus est enim Dominus Palestinos 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 Jehovah 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 quiescis ingredere in vaginam tuam refrigerare et sile
You sword of Jehovah, "how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up 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 Jehovah has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.'"
