Jeremiah 47

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

HERRENs Ord, som kom til profeten Jeremias om filistrene, før Farao slog Gaza.

Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

Så siger HERREN: Se, Vande stiger fra Nord, de bliver en Strøm, der svømmer over, de oversvømmer Landet og dets Fylde, Byerne og dem, som bor der. Menneskene skriger og jamrer, alle, som bor i Landet.

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, and at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

For Lyden af hans Hingstes Hovslag, hans Vognes Drøn, hans raslende Hjul får Fædre ej set efter Bøm, thi Hænderne er slappe,

Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines, and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the country of Caphtor.

nu Dagen er kommet at ødelægge alle Filistre, at udrydde hver Hjælper, som levnes Tyrus og Zidon; thi HERREN ødelægger Filisterne, Resten af Kaftors Ø.

Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou cut thyself?

Skaldet er Gaza blevet, Askalon tilintetgjort. Du Rest af Anakiter, hvor længe vil du såre dig?

O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Ve, HERRENs Sværd, hvornår vil du falde til Ro? Far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!

How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it.

Hvorledes får det Ro, når HERREN opbød det mod Askalon og Havets Strand og stævned det did?
