The desolation of the Philistims, Tyre, Sidon, Gaza, and Ascalon is prophecied.
1The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the people of Palestine, before Pharao took Gaza.Parola detta dal Signore a Geremia profeta contro i Filistei, prima che Faraone espugnasse Gaza.THE word of our Lord that was made to Ieremie the prophet against the Palesthines, before Pharao stroke Gaza:Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam prophetam contra Palæstinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam. 2Thus saith the Lord: Behold there come up waters out of the north, and they shall be as an overflowing torrent, and they shall cover the land, and all that is therein, the city and the inhabitants thereof: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl,Queste cose dice il Signore: Ecco che le acque vengono da settentrione a guisa di torrente, che inonda, e cuopriranno la terra, e tutto quello, che ella contiene, la città, e i suoi abitanti: grideranno gli uomini, e urleranno tutti gli abitatori della terra.Thus saith our Lord: Behold there come vp waters from the North, and they shal be as •torrent ouerflowing, and they shal couer the earth, and the fulnes thereof, the citie and the inhabitantes thereof: men shal crie, and al the inhabitantes of the land shal howleHæc dicit Dominus: / Ecce aquæ ascendunt ab aquilone, / et erunt quasi torrens inundans, / et operient terram et plenitudinem ejus, / urbem et habitatores ejus. / Clamabunt homines, / et ululabunt omnes habitatores terræ, 3At the noise of the marching of arms, and of his soldiers, at the rushing of his chariots, and the multitude of his wheels. The fathers have not looked back to the children, for feebleness of hands,Al romore delle armi pompose, e degli armati, allo scuotimento de' cocchi, e delle molte loro ruote. I padri perduto il vigor delle braccia, non hanno data a' figliuoli un'occhiata.at the noise of the pompe of the armour, and of his men of warre, at the commotion of his chariots, and the multitude of his wheeles. The fathers haue not respected the children, being of dissolute handes,a strepitu pompæ armorum, et bellatorum ejus, / a commotione quadrigarum ejus, et multitudine rotarum illius. / Non respexerunt patres filios manibus dissolutis, 4Because of the coming of the day, in which all the Philistines shall be laid waste, and Tyre and Sidon shall be destroyed, with all the rest of their helpers. For the Lord hath wasted the Philistines, the remnant of the isle of Cappadocia.Perchè il dì è venuto, in cui i Filistei saranno sterminati, e sarà distrutta Tiro, e Sidone con tutti gli aiuti, che lor restavano: imperocché il Signore ha messi a saccomanno i Filistei, avanzi dell'isola di Capadocia.for the coming of the day, wherein al the Philisthims shal be wasted, and Tyre, and Sidon shal be destroyed with al the rest of their aydes. For our Lord hath spoyled the Palesthines, the remnant of the ile of Cappadocia.pro adventu diei in quo vastabuntur omnes Philisthiim, / et dissipabitur Tyrus et Sidon / cum omnibus reliquis auxiliis suis: / depopulatus est enim Dominus Palæstinos, / reliquias insulæ Cappadociæ.
5Baldness is come upon Gaza: Ascalon hath held her peace with the remnant of their valley: how long shalt thou cut thyself?Gaza è diventata calva: Ascalone è taciturna, e quel, che resta della lor valle. Fino a quando ti farai delle ferite?Baldnes is come vpon Gaza. Ascalon hath held her peace, and the remnant of her valley, how long shalt thou be hewed?Venit calvitium super Gazam; / conticuit Ascalon, et reliquiæ vallis earum: / usquequo concideris ? 6O thou sword of the Lord, how long wilt thou not be quiet? Go into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.Non avrai tu posa giammai, o spada del Signore? rientra nel fodero, raffreddati, e sta in quiete.O sword of our Lord how long wilt thou not be quiet? Get thee into thy scabbard, be cooled, and be stil.O mucro Domini, usquequo non quiesces ? / ingredere in vaginam tuam, / refrigerare, et sile. 7How shall it be quiet, when the Lord hath given it a charge against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made an appointment for it?E come starà ella in quiete, mentre il Signore le ha dati ordini contro Ascalone, e contro le sue regioni marittime, e ivi le ha prescritto di agire?How shal it be quiet when our Lord hath commanded it against Ascalon, and against the countries thereof by the sea side, and there hath made appointment with it?Quomodo quiescet, / cum Dominus præceperit ei adversus Ascalonem, / et adversus maritimas ejus regiones, / ibique condixerit illi ?
47:1
Calmet
Gaza, going or returning from Charcamis. Apries also attacked Tyre, and would of course invade the Philistines. They had assisted the Tyrians against Nabuchodonosor, who therefore made incursions into their territory, and into that of Ammon, etc., while the main part of his army besieged Tyre for thirteen years. (Calmet)
47:3
Haydock
Marching. Literally, "pomp," (Haydock) or warlike apparatus. (Haydock)
Haydock
Protestants, "stamping of the hoofs of his strong horses, at," etc. (Haydock)
47:4
Tyre. See Jeremias 47:4., and Ezechiel xxvi., etc.
Diodorus
Sidon. It had rejoiced at the downfall of its rival, (Isaias 23:4.) and of the Jews, Joel 3:4., and Ezechiel 28:24. Artax Ochus punished it severely; (Calmet) and its own king, Tenner, betrayed his subjects, who were slain by the Persians, or burnt themselves in the conflagration of the city. (Diodorus, Olym. 177. a. 2.)
Helpers; Philistines, who came originally from the isle of Caphtor, or Crete.
Sanctius
Cappadocia was not an island, or near the sea, (Calmet) but at a distance from the Jews. (Sanctius)
47:5
Haydock
Baldness, the sign of mourning, (Calmet) or captivity. (Haydock)
Haydock
Peace. Hebrew, "shall be destroyed." Septuagint, "cast away." She has afforded no assistance to Gaza. (Haydock)
Calmet
Valley, along the Mediterranean. (Calmet)
Literally, "And ye remnants of their valley, how?" etc.
Haydock
Cut, in despair or grief, Jeremias 41:5. Septuagint, "Remnants of the Enakeim, (giants) how long wilt thou make incisions?" (Haydock)
Calmet
The race of Enack dwelt in those parts; though ánkim seems to have been mistaken for ankom. (Calmet)
47:6
Calmet
Sword. He is moved with pity to see so much carnage, but reflects that such is the will of God. Nabuchodonosor was his sword or scourge. (Calmet)
47:1
Concordanza Isa. 14. & 21.
47:2
Babylon which is northward from Palestina.
47:1
1. Quod factum est verbum Domini ad Jeremiam prophetam contra Palaestinos, antequam percuteret Pharao Gazam.
47:2
2. Ecce aquae ascendunt. — Comparat numerosum et impetuosum exercitum Chaldaeorum aquis et torrenti exundanti, qui evertit urbes cum incolis. Ita Theodoretus. OPERIENT TERRAM (Aegypti), ET PLENITUDINEM EJUS, — hoc est omnia quae in ea sunt; haec enim eam quasi implent, qualia sunt urbes, campi, pagi, arces, etc.
47:3
3. A STREPITU POMPAE ARMORUM. — Hebraice, a voce strepitus ungularum fortium ejus; fortium, scilicet equorum ungula potentium. Pro armorum hebraice est פרסות אביריו parsot abbirav, quod noster Interpres, Isai. V, 28, "ungulae equorum ejus;" ungulae enim sunt equorum, et consequenter equitum arma, ad currendum in hostem et bellandum: equi enim in ungulis miram vim habent, iisque in cursu magnum strepitum excitant, Isaiae cap. V, 28, Ezech. cap. XXVI, 10. NON RESPEXERUNT PATRES FILIOS MANIBUS DISSOLUTIS — id est prae formidine, indeque orta manuum dissolutione et quasi paralysi, patres obliti sunt naturae, et filios neglexerunt, nec respexerunt retrorsum, ut viderent quid filiis fieret. Ita Theodoretus et Chaldaeus.
47:4
4. Pro adventu diei, — propter diem excidii qui veniet, quo tota Palaestina vastabitur: hinc tanta erit formido, ut patres non curent filios. DISSIPABITUR TYRUS ET SIDON CUM OMNIBUS RELIQUIS AUXILIIS SUIS. — Vatablus ex Hebraeo aliter vertit: Ad delendum Tyro et Sidoni omnem superstitem auxiliatorem, id est, ut delerentur Palaestini, qui solebant auxiliari Tyro et Sidoni. Verum nostro Interpreti consentiunt Septuaginta et Chaldaeus, quanquam utraque versio eodem redit. RELIQUIAS INSULAE CAPPADOCIAE. — Nota: Cappadociam hic vocari insulam, licet in continenti sit, quia maritima est, et longo littore in Pontum Euxinum expanditur: ita Septuaginta, Chaldaeus et Noster Hebraeum כפתור Caphtor vertunt, Cappadociam. Nota Palaestinos vocari reliquias Cappadocum: quia Cappadoces occuparunt Palaetinam, expulsis Hevaeis, ut patet Deuter. II, 23. Ita Theodoretus, Rabanus, Hugo. Palaestini ergo fuerunt colonia Cappadocum. Adde, Philisthiim et Caphtorim, id est Cappadoces, fuerunt fratres, ut patet Genes. cap. X, 14. Alii, ut Theodoretus et a Castro, Hebraeum Caphtor vertunt, non Cappadociam (illa enim, inquiunt, longe distat a Palaestina), sed Cyprum: eaedem enim in utraque voce sunt litterae, si demas t, in Caphtor: et Cyprum olim vocatam fuisse Cappadociam putat a Castro; sed vellem videre ubi et a quibus. Denique Torniellus anno mundi 1931, num. 32, suspicatur insulam Cappadociae hic vocari eam, quae postea dicta est nova Tyrus (aut locum ei vicinum), sitaque est juxta Tyrum veterem: haec enim proprie est insula, estque vicina Philistinis. Huic sententiae favet primo, quod Hebraeum Caphtor, id est Cappadocia, idem videatur esse quod caph, id est manus, tor, id est Tyri, quasi dicas, manus, id est latus vel vicina, Tyri. Secundo, quod Adrichomius ex Bredenbachio et aliis, in descriptione tribus Azer, num. 91, tradat juxta Libanum et Adonim fluvium, non longe a Tyro, esse locum templo S. Georgii insignem, qui ab incolis vocetur Cappadocia.
47:5
5. VENIET (Veniet certo et brevi) CALVITIUM, — id est expilatio et bonorum omnium direptio, ut ne pilum quidem reliquisse videantur super Gazam. Ita Rabanus, Lyranus, Vatablus. Secundo, "calvitium," id est calamitas ingens et luctus. Solebant enim in luctu sese decalvare, ut patet Isaiae cap. XV, 2, Ezech. VII, 18, Amos VIII, 10. Ita Maldonatus. CONTICUIT ASCALON. — Id est, omnino excisa et eversa est, id est exscindetur et evertetur Ascalon. Est metalepsis: urbe enim excisa, rerum omnium est solitudo et silentium. Simile vidimus cap. XXV, 37 et alibi. Secundo, "conticuit," quia subito et inopinato hostium adventu obstupuit. Tertio, quia hostis insolens spiritum ei praeclusit et linguam. Ita Sanchez. Ascalon erat urbs fortis, una ex quinque satrapiis Philistinorum. Hic Samson occidit triginta Philisthaeos, eorumque vestes abstulit, ut eas daret triginta viris qui suum problema solverant, Judic. XIV. Ferunt in hac urbe natum Herodem, qui tempore Christi infantes in Bethlehem occidit, indeque dictus est Ascalonita. Hodie antiquum robur retinens, Saracenorum fortissimum est propugnaculum. Ita Adrichomius. ET RELIQUIAE VALLIS EARUM, — et reliqua earum oppida et pagi suburbani, qui in valle erant, cum Gaza et Ascalon sitae essent in loco altiori. Usquequo concideris? — usquequo Ascalon et Gaza unguibus, vel etiam cultris more Gentilium te laniabis prae dolore et luctu? Ita Hugo, Lyranus et Vatablus. Septuaginta vertunt: Usquequo incides, gladius (o gladie) Domini? gladius Domini est Nabuchodonosor, aiunt Theodoretus et Rabanus.
47:6
6. O MUCRO DOMINI! — Ex ingenti commiseratione tantae stragis Philistinorum, quam praevidebat, Jeremias exclamat, obsecratque ut quiescat: satis enim magnam caedem factam esse. Ita Maldonatus. Refrigerare — ab ardore caedendi, qui manat a furore caedentis, q. d. O refrigera et tempera furorem tuum et ardorem caedendi Ascalonitas.
47:7
7. QUOMODO QUIESCET? — Respondet sibi ipsi Propheta, non posse gladium quiescere, quia Deus jussit eum grassari in Ascalonem. IBIQUE CONDIXERIT ILLI, — praeceperit, ut ibi grassetur. Alii vertunt: Constituit ei tempus quo grassari debeat; itaque cessare nequit, antequam hac legatione sua tempore sibi praestituto perfungatur. Porro impleta est haec prophetia contra Palaestinos anno quinto post excidium Jerusalem, qui fuit annus Nabuchodonosoris 23. Tunc enim ipse vastavit Coelesyriam (ad quam pertinent Philistini). Ita Josephus, lib. X Antiq. cap. XLI.
47:7
… Prevale oggi l'opinione che Kefivo dei documenti egizi e Caphtor della Bibbia (Gen. 10, 14) (Kaftara nei testi cuneiformi) sia C., paese d'origine dei Filistei (Jer. 47, 7; Am. 9, 7). Le esplorazioni archeologiche attestano una grande attività commerciale con l'Egitto e con le altre regioni mediterranee dal III millennio al 1400 a. C. In Egitto sono …
