예레미야 47

1바로가 가사를 치기 전에 블레셋 사람에 대하여 선지자 예레미야에게 임한 여호와의 말씀이라 2여호와께서 이같이 말씀하시되 보라 물이 북방에서 일어나 창일하는 시내를 이루어 그 땅과 그 중에 있는 모든 것과 그 성읍과 거기 거하는 자들을 엄몰시키리니 사람들이 부르짖으며 그 땅 모든 거민이 애곡할 것이라 3힘센 것의 굽치는 소리와 달리는 병거 바퀴의 울리는 소리에 아비의 손이 풀려서 그 자녀를 돌아보지 못하리니 4이는 블레셋 사람을 진멸하시며 두로와 시돈에 남아 있는 바 도와 줄 자를 다 끊어 버리시는 날이 이름이라 여호와께서 갑돌 섬에 남아 있는 블레셋 사람을 멸하시리라 5가사가 삭발되었고 아스글론과 그들에게 남아 있는 평지가 멸망되었나니 네가 네 몸 베기를 어느 때까지 하겠느냐 6여호와의 칼이여 네가 언제까지 쉬지 않겠느냐 네 집에 들어가서 가만히 쉴지어다 7여호와께서 이를 명하셨은즉 어떻게 쉬겠느냐 아스글론과 해변을 치려 하여 그가 명정하셨느니라

1Yahweh’s word that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before that Pharaoh struck Gaza. 2Thus says Yahweh: Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall become an overflowing stream, and shall overflow the land and all that is therein, the city and those who dwell therein; and the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall wail. 3At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his strong ones, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers don’t look back to their children for feebleness of hands; 4because of the day that comes to destroy all the Philistines, to cut off from Tyre and Sidon every helper who remains: for Yahweh will destroy the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Caphtor. 5Baldness has come on Gaza; Ashkelon is brought to nothing, the remnant of their valley: how long will you cut yourself? 6You sword of Yahweh, how long will it be before you be quiet? Put up yourself into your scabbard; rest, and be still. 7How can you be quiet, since Yahweh has given you a command? Against Ashkelon, and against the seashore, there has he appointed it.

1Het woord des HEEREN, dat tot den profeet Jeremia geschiedde, tegen de Filistijnen; eer dat Farao Gaza sloeg. 2Zo zegt de HEERE: Ziet, wateren komen op van het noorden, en zullen worden tot een overlopende beek, en overlopen het land en de volheid van hetzelve, de stad en die daarin wonen; en de mensen zullen schreeuwen, en al de inwoners des lands zullen huilen; 3Vanwege het geluid van het geklater der hoeven zijner sterke paarden, vanwege het geraas zijner wagenen, en het bulderen zijner raderen; de vaders zien niet om naar de kinderen, vanwege de slappigheid der handen; 4Vanwege den dag, die er komt om alle Filistijnen te verstoren, om Tyrus en Sidon allen overgeblevenen helper af te snijden; want de HEERE zal de Filistijnen, het overblijfsel des eilands van Kafthor, verstoren. 5Kaalheid is op Gaza gekomen; Askelon is uitgeroeid, met het overblijfsel huns dals; hoe lang zult gij uzelven insnijdingen maken? 6O wee, gij zwaard des HEEREN! Hoe lang zult gij niet stil houden? Vaar in uw schede, rust en wees stil! 7Hoe zoudt gij stil houden? De HEERE heeft toch aan het zwaard bevel gegeven; tegen Askelon en tegen de zeehaven, aldaar heeft Hij het besteld.
