1 HERRENs Ord, som kom til profeten Jeremias om filistrene, før Farao slog Gaza.

1 That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh conquered Gaza.

2 Så siger HERREN: Se, Vande stiger fra Nord, de bliver en Strøm, der svømmer over, de oversvømmer Landet og dets Fylde, Byerne og dem, som bor der.

2 Thus says the Lord:“Behold, waters are going to rise from the northAnd become an overflowing torrent,And overflow the land and all its fullness,The city and those who live in it;And the men will cry out,And every inhabitant of the land will wail.

3 For Lyden af hans Hingstes Hovslag, hans Vognes Drøn, hans raslende Hjul får Fædre ej set efter Bøm, thi Hænderne er slappe,

3 “Because of the noise of the galloping hoofs of his stallions,The tumult of his chariots, and the rumbling of his wheels,The fathers have not turned back for their children,Because of the limpness of their hands,

4 nu Dagen er kommet at ødelægge alle Filistre, at udrydde hver Hjælper, som levnes Tyrus og Zidon; thi HERREN ødelægger Filisterne, Resten af Kaftors Ø.

4 On account of the day that is comingTo destroy all the Philistines,To cut off from Tyre and SidonEvery ally that is left;For the Lord is going to destroy the Philistines,The remnant of the coastland of Caphtor.

5 Skaldet er Gaza blevet, Askalon tilintetgjort. Du Rest af Anakiter, hvor længe vil du såre dig?

5 “Baldness has come upon Gaza;Ashkelon has been ruined.O remnant of their valley,How long will you gash yourself?

6 Ve, HERRENs Sværd, hvornår vil du falde til Ro? Far i din Skede, hvil og vær stille!

6 “Ah, sword of the Lord,How long will you not be quiet?Withdraw into your sheath;Be at rest and stay still.

7 Hvorledes får det Ro, når HERREN opbød det mod Askalon og Havets Strand og stævned det did? 

7 “How can it be quiet,When the Lord has given it an order?Against Ashkelon and against the seacoast—There He has assigned it.”
