耶利米书 47

1 法老攻击迦萨之先，有耶和华论非利士人的话临到先知耶利米。

The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh had smitten Gaza.

2 耶和华如此说： 有水从北方发起，成为涨溢的河， 要涨过遍地和其中所有的， 并城和其中所住的。 人必呼喊； 境内的居民都必哀号。

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 听见敌人壮马蹄跳的响声 和战车隆隆、车轮轰轰； 为父的手就发软， 不回头看顾儿女。

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 因为日子将到， 要毁灭一切非利士人， 剪除帮助泰尔、西顿所剩下的人。 原来耶和华必毁灭非利士人， 就是迦斐托海岛余剩的人。

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 迦萨成了光秃； 平原中所剩的亚实基伦归于无有。 你用刀划身，要到几时呢？

Baldness is come upon Gaza, Askelon is in ruins, And the remnant of their valley! How long wilt thou cut thyself?

6 耶和华的刀剑哪，你到几时才止息呢？ 你要入鞘，安靖不动。

Ah! sword of Jehovah, How long ere thou wilt be quiet? Retire into thy scabbard, Rest, and be still!

7 耶和华既吩咐你攻击亚实基伦和海边之地， 他已经派定你，焉能止息呢？

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.
