Jeremiæ 47
1 quod factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam prophetam contra Palestinos antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh had smitten 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 saith Jehovah: Behold, waters rise up out of the North, And they shall become an overflowing torrent, And shall overflow the land, and all that is therein, —The city, and them that dwell therein; And the men shall cry aloud, 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 horses, At the rattling of his chariots, And at the rumbling of his wheels, Fathers look not back for 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 which cometh, To lay waste all the Philistines, To cut off from Tyre and from Sidon Every helper that remaineth. For Jehovah will lay waste the Philistines, The remnant of the country of Caphtor.
5 venit calvitium super Gazam conticuit Ascalon et reliquiae vallis earum usquequo concideris
Baldness is come upon Gaza, Askelon is in ruins, And the remnant of their valley! How long wilt thou cut thyself?
6 o mucro Domini usquequo non quiescis ingredere in vaginam tuam refrigerare et sile
Ah! sword of Jehovah, How long ere thou wilt be quiet? Retire into thy scabbard, Rest, and be still!
7 quomodo quiescet cum Dominus praeceperit ei adversus Ascalonem et adversus maritimas eius regiones ibique condixerit illi
But how canst thou be at rest, Since Jehovah hath given thee a charge against Askelon, And against the coast of the sea? There hath he appointed it.
