Jeremias 47

1 A palavra do Senhor, que veiu a Jeremias, o propheta, contra os philisteos, antes que Pharaó ferisse a Gaza.

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

2 Assim diz o Senhor: Eis que se levantam as aguas do norte, e tornar-se-hão em torrente transbordante, e alagarão a terra e sua plenitude, a cidade, e os que moram n'ella; e os homens clamarão, e todos os moradores da terra uivarão;

Thus says the Lord: “Behold, waters will rise up from the north, and they will be like an inundating torrent, and they will cover the land and its plenitude, the city and its inhabitants. The men will cry out, and all the inhabitants of the land will wail,

3 Por causa do som do estrepito das unhas dos seus fortes cavallos, por causa do arroido de seus carros e do estrondo das suas rodas: os paes não attenderam aos filhos, por causa da fraqueza das mãos;

before the uproar of a procession of weapons and of his soldiers, before the commotion of his four-horse chariots and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back for the sons, because of feebleness of hands,

4 Por causa do dia que vem, para destruir a todos os philisteos, para cortar a Tyro e a Sidon todo o resto que os soccorra; porque o Senhor destruirá os philisteos, o resto da ilha de Caphtor.

because of the arrival of the day on which all the Philistines will be devastated, and Tyre and Sidon will be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord has depopulated the Philistines, the remnant of the island of Cappadocia.

5 A rapadura veiu sobre Gaza, foi desarreigada Ascalon, com o resto do seu valle: até quando te sarjarás?

Baldness has arrived over Gaza. Ashkelon has been silenced, along with the remnant of their valley. And how long will you continue to be cut down?

6 Ah espada do Senhor! até quando deixarás de repousar? volta para a tua bainha, descança, e aquieta-te.

O sharp sword of the Lord, how long will you be without rest? Enter your sheath; be refreshed and silenced.

7 Mas como te aquietarias? pois o Senhor deu-lhe mandado contra Ascalon, e contra as bordas do mar: e ali lh'o tem prescripto.

But how can it find rest, when the Lord has ordered it against Ashkelon and against its maritime regions, and when a task has been appointed to it there?”
