Jeremiah 1 This is the word that came from the LORD to the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh attacked 在法郎尚未进攻迦萨以前,关于培肋舍特,上主有话传给耶肋米亚先知说: 2 1 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. 上主这样说:“看,有水从北方涌来,形成一条泛滥的河流,淹没大地和地上的一切,首都和其中的居民;人们必要喊叫,大地所有的居民必要哀号。 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 helpless 一听到他骏马的铁蹄声,辚辚的战车声,和隆隆的飞轮声,为父亲的已束手无策,不能再顾及自己的儿子, 4 2 Because of the day which has come to ruin all the Philistines, And cut off from 5 3 迦萨已一片荒凉,阿市刻隆已遭受灭亡;阿纳克人的遗民,你们要割伤己身到何时呢? 6 4 Alas, sword of the LORD! how long till you find rest? Return into your scabbard; stop, be still! 唉!上主的刀剑!到何时你才休息?请你入鞘休息安歇罢! 7 How can it find rest when the LORD has commanded it? Against 但上主既对它出了命,它怎能休息?阿市刻隆和海滨,是他给它指向的地方。 Footnotes(注解) 1 [2-7] This prophecy was fulfilled in 605/4 B.C. 2 [4] 3 [5] Of the ancient Philistine cities, neither 4 [6] Words of the Philistines. |
