Jeremiah 47


font
NEW AMERICAN BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 This is the word that came from the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh attacked Gaza:1 Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Ieremiam prophe tam contra Philisthim,antequam percuteret pharao Gazam.
2 Thus says the LORD: Behold: waters are rising from the north, a torrent in flood; It shall flood the land and all that is in it, the cities and their people. All the people of the land set up a wailing cry.2 Haec dicit Dominus:
“ Ecce, aquae ascendunt ab aquilone
et erunt quasi torrens inundans
et operient terram et plenitudinem eius,
urbem et habitatores eius.
Clamabunt homines,
et ululabunt omnes habitatores terrae
3 They hear the stamping hooves of his steeds, the rattling chariots, the rumbling wheels. Fathers turn not to save their children; their hands fall helpless3 a strepitu ungularum fortium equorum eius,
a commotione quadrigarum eius
et tumultu rotarum illius;
non respexerunt patres filios, manibus dissolutis,
4 Because of the day which has come to ruin all the Philistines, And cut off from Tyre and Sidon the last of their allies. Yes, the LORD is destroying the Philistines, the remnant from the coasts of Caphtor.4 pro adventu diei, in quo vastabuntur omnes Philisthim,
et dissipabitur Tyro et Sidoni omnis superstes auxiliator:
depopulatus est enim Dominus Philisthim,
reliquias insulae Caphtor.
5 Gaza is shaved bald, Ashkelon is reduced to silence; Ashdod, the remnant of their strength, how long will you gash yourself?5 Venit calvitium super Gazam,
conticuit Ascalon;
reliquiae Enacim,
usquequo incidetis vos?
6 Alas, sword of the LORD! how long till you find rest? Return into your scabbard; stop, be still!6 O mucro Domini,
usquequo non quiesces?
Ingredere in vaginam tuam,
refrigerare et sile.
7 How can it find rest when the LORD has commanded it? Against Ashkelon and the seashore he has appointed it.7 Quomodo quiescet,
cum Dominus praeceperit ei adversus Ascalonem
et adversus maritimas regiones
ibique condixerit illi? ”.
