耶利米書

第47章

1 法老攻擊迦薩之先,有耶和華攻擊[against]非利士人的話臨到先知耶利米。

2 耶和華如此說:看哪[Behold],有諸水[waters]從北方發起,必為[shall be]漲溢的洪水[flood],要漲過遍地和其中所有的,並城和其中所住的;那時[then]人必呼喊,境內的居民都必哀號。

3 聽見敵人壯馬蹄跳的響聲和戰車隆隆、車輪轟轟;為父的手就發軟,[shall]不回頭看顧兒女,

4 因為日子將到,要毀滅一切非利士人,[and]剪除幫助推羅、西頓所剩下的人;原來耶和華必毀滅非利士人,就是迦斐託[country]餘剩的人。

5 迦薩成了光禿;亞實基倫與谷中所剩的都被剪滅[Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley];你用刀劃身,要到幾時呢?

6 耶和華的刀劍哪,你到幾時才止息呢?你要入鞘,安靖不動。

7 耶和華既囑咐[charge][it]攻擊亞實基倫和海邊之地,它焉能止息呢[How can it be quiet]他已經派定它在那裏了[there hath he appointed it]

Jeremiah

Chapter 47

1 THE word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smote Gaza.

2 Thus says the LORD: Behold, I am bringing young soldiers from the north, and they shall become like an overflowing flood, and they shall overflow the land and all that is in it, the city and those who dwell in it; then the men shall cry for help, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail.

3 Because of the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of the horses of his mighty men and the rushing of his chariots and the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their children for the feebleness of their hands;

4 Behold, the day has come to plunder all the Philistines and to destroy Tyre and Sidon and every helper that remains; for the LORD will smite the Philistines, the remnant of the islands of Caphtor.

5 Slaughter has reached to Gaza, Ashkalon is destroyed, and all that is left of their habitation is taken.

6 O, sword of the LORD, how long will it be till you be quiet and cease from destruction? put up yourself into your scabbard, rest and be still.

7 How can it be quiet, when the LORD has given it a charge against Ashkalon and against the coastal cities? For against these places he has decreed punishment.
