Jeremiah 47

1 The word of the Lord, that was maad to Jeremye, the profete, ayens Palestyns, bifor that Farao smoot Gaza.

法老攻擊迦薩之先，有耶和華論非利士人的話臨到先知耶利米。

2 The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! watris schulen stie fro the north, and tho schulen be as a stronde flowynge, and tho schulen hile the lond, and the fulnesse therof, the citee, and the dwelleris therof. Men schulen crie, and alle the dwelleris of the lond schulen yelle,

耶和華如此說： 有水從北方發起，成為漲溢的河， 要漲過遍地和其中所有的， 並城和其中所住的。 人必呼喊； 境內的居民都必哀號。

3 for the noise of boost of armed men, and of werriours of hym, and for mouyng of hise cartis, and multitude of hise wheelis. Fadris bihelden not sones with clumsid hondis,

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， 不回頭看顧兒女。

4 for the comyng of the dai in which alle Filisteis schulen be destried; and Tirus schal be destried, and Sidon with alle her othere helpis. For the Lord hath destried Palestyns, the remenauntis of the ile of Capadocie.

因為日子將到， 要毀滅一切非利士人， 剪除幫助泰爾、西頓所剩下的人。 原來耶和華必毀滅非利士人， 就是迦斐託海島餘剩的人。

5 Ballidnesse cam on Gaza; Ascolon was stille, and the remenauntis of the valei of tho.

迦薩成了光禿； 平原中所剩的亞實基倫歸於無有。 你用刀劃身，要到幾時呢？

6 Hou longe schalt thou falle doun, O! swerd of the Lord, hou long schalt thou not reste? Entre thou in to thi schethe, be thou refreischid, and be stille.

耶和華的刀劍哪，你到幾時才止息呢？ 你要入鞘，安靖不動。

7 Hou schal it reste, whanne the Lord comaundide to it ayens Ascalon, and ayens the see coostis therof, and there hath seide to it?

耶和華既吩咐你攻擊亞實基倫和海邊之地， 他已經派定你，焉能止息呢？
