[1]Then cameH935[H8799] certainH582 of the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 unto me, and satH3427[H8799] before meH6440. [1]And men of the eldris of Israel camen to me, and saten bifor me.
[2]And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,[H8800] [2]And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide, Sone of man,
[3]SonH1121 of manH120, these menH582 have set upH5927[H8689] their idolsH1544 in their heartH3820, and putH5414[H8804] the stumblingblockH4383 of their iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 their faceH6440: should I be enquiredH1875[H8735] of at allH1875 by themH8736? [3]these men han set her vnclennesses in her hertis, and han set stidfastli the sclaundre of her wickidnesse ayens her face. Whether Y `that am axid, schal answere to hem?
[4]Therefore speakH1696[H8761] unto them, and sayH559[H8804] unto them, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; Every manH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 that setteth upH5927[H8686] his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, and puttethH7760[H8799] the stumblingblockH4383 of his iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 his faceH6440, and comethH935[H8804] to the prophetH5030; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030[H8738] him that comethH935[H8804] according to the multitudeH7230 of his idolsH1544; [4]For this thing speke thou to hem, and thou schalt seie to hem, These thingis seith the Lord God, A man, a man of the hous of Israel, that settith hise vnclennessis in his herte, and settith stidfastli the sclaundre of his wickidnesse ayens his face, and cometh to the profete, and axith me bi hym, Y the Lord schal answere to hym in the multitude of hise vnclennessis;
[5]That I may takeH8610[H8800] the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 in their own heartH3820, because they are all estrangedH2114[H8738] from me through their idolsH1544. [5]that the hous of Israel be takun in her herte, bi which thei yeden awei fro me in alle her idols.
[6]Therefore sayH559[H8798] unto the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, Thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; RepentH7725[H8798], and turnH7725[H8685] yourselves from your idolsH1544; and turn awayH7725[H8685] your facesH6440 from all your abominationsH8441. [6]Therfor seie thou to the hous of Israel, The Lord God seith these thingis, Be ye conuertid, and go ye awei fro youre idols, and turne awei youre faces fro alle youre filthis.
[7]For every oneH376 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, or of the strangerH1616 that sojournethH1481[H8799] in IsraelH3478, which separatethH5144[H8735] himself from meH310, and setteth upH5927[H8799] his idolsH1544 in his heartH3820, and puttethH7760[H8799] the stumblingblockH4383 of his iniquityH5771 beforeH5227 his faceH6440, and comethH935[H8804] to a prophetH5030 to enquireH1875[H8800] of him concerning me; I the LORDH3068 will answerH6030 him by myselfH8737: [7]For whi a man, a man of the hous of Israel, and of conuersis, who euer is a comelyng in Israel, if he is alienyd fro me, and settith hise idols in his herte, and settith stidfastli the sclaundir of his wickidnesse ayens his face, and he cometh to the profete, to axe me bi hym, Y the Lord schal answere hym bi my silf.
[8]And I will setH5414[H8804] my faceH6440 against that manH376, and will makeH8074[H8689] him a signH226 and a proverbH4912, and I will cut him offH3772[H8689] from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971; and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am the LORDH3068. [8]And Y schal sette my face on that man, and Y schal make hym in to ensaumple, and in to a prouerbe, and Y schal leese hym fro the myddis of my puple; and ye schulen wite, that Y am the Lord.
[9]And if the prophetH5030 be deceivedH6601[H8792] when he hath spokenH1696[H8765] a thingH1697, I the LORDH3068 have deceivedH6601[H8765] that prophetH5030, and I will stretch outH5186[H8804] my handH3027 upon him, and will destroyH8045[H8689] him from the midstH8432 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. [9]And whanne a profete errith, and spekith a word, Y the Lord schal disseyue that profete; and Y schal stretche forth myn hond on hym, and Y schal do hym awei fro the myddis of my puple Israel.
[10]And they shall bearH5375[H8804] the punishment of their iniquityH5771: the punishmentH5771 of the prophetH5030 shall be even as the punishmentH5771 of him that seekethH1875 unto himH8802; [10]And thei schulen bere her wickidnesse; bi the wickidnesse of the axere, so the wickidnesse of the profete schal be;
[11]That the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 may go no more astrayH8582[H8799] from meH310, neither be pollutedH2930[H8691] any more with all their transgressionsH6588; but that they may be my peopleH5971, and I may be their GodH430, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069. [11]that the hous of Israel erre no more fro me, nether be defoulid in alle her trespassyngis; but that it be in to a puple to me, and Y be in to a God to hem, seith the Lord of oostis.
[12]The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came again to me, sayingH559,[H8800] [12]And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and he seide,
[13]SonH1121 of manH120, when the landH776 sinnethH2398[H8799] against me by trespassingH4603[H8800] grievouslyH4604, then will I stretch outH5186[H8804] mine handH3027 upon it, and will breakH7665[H8804] the staffH4294 of the breadH3899 thereof, and will sendH7971[H8689] famineH7458 upon it, and will cut offH3772[H8689] manH120 and beast from itH929: [13]Sone of man, whanne the lond synneth ayens me, that it trespassynge do trespas, Y schal stretche forth myn hond on it, and Y schal al to-breke the yerde of breed therof; and Y schal sende hungur in to it, and Y schal sle of it man and beeste.
[14]Though these threeH7969 menH582, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, they should deliverH5337[H8762] but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069. [14]And if these thre men Noe, Danyel, and Job, ben in the myddis therof, thei bi her riytfulnesse schulen delyuere her soulis, seith the Lord of oostis.
[15]IfH3863 I cause noisomeH7451 beastsH2416 to pass throughH5674[H8686] the landH776, and they spoilH7921[H8765] it, so that it be desolateH8077, that no man may pass throughH5674[H8802] becauseH6440 of the beastsH2416: [15]That if also Y brynge in worste beestis on the lond, that Y distrie it, and if it is with out weie, for that no passer is for the beestis,
[16]Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337[H8686] neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323; they only shall be deliveredH5337[H8735], but the landH776 shall be desolateH8077. [16]and these thre men, that `ben bifore seid, ben therynne, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for thei schulen nethir delyuere sones, nether douytris, but thei aloone schulen be deliuered; forsothe the lond schal be maad desolat.
[17]Or if I bringH935[H8686] a swordH2719 upon that landH776, and sayH559[H8804], SwordH2719, go throughH5674[H8799] the landH776; so that I cut offH3772[H8689] manH120 and beast from itH929: [17]Ethir if Y brynge in swerd on that lond, and Y seie to the swerd, Passe thou thorouy the lond, and Y sle of it man and beeste,
[18]Though these threeH7969 menH582 were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337[H8686] neither sonsH1121 nor daughtersH1323, but they only shall be deliveredH5337 themselvesH8735. [18]and these thre men ben in the myddis therof, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, that thei schulen not delyuere sones nether douytris, but thei aloone schulen be delyuered.
[19]Or if I sendH7971[H8762] a pestilenceH1698 into that landH776, and pour outH8210[H8804] my furyH2534 upon it in bloodH1818, to cut offH3772[H8687] from it manH120 and beastH929: [19]Forsothe if Y brynge in also pestilence on that lond, and Y schede out myn indignacioun on it in blood, that Y do awei fro it man and beeste,
[20]Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337[H8686] neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337[H8686] their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666. [20]and Noe, and Danyel, and Joob, ben in the myddis therof, Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for thei schulen not delyuere a sone and a douyter, but thei bi her riytfulnesse schulen delyuere her soulis.
[21]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069; How much more when I sendH7971[H8765] my fourH702 soreH7451 judgmentsH8201 upon JerusalemH3389, the swordH2719, and the famineH7458, and the noisomeH7451 beastH2416, and the pestilenceH1698, to cut offH3772[H8687] from it manH120 and beastH929? [21]For the Lord God seith these thingis, That thouy Y sende in my foure worste domes, swerd, and hungur, and yuele beestis, and pestilence, in to Jerusalem, that Y sle of it man and beeste,
[22]Yet, behold, therein shall be leftH3498[H8738] a remnantH6413 that shall be brought forthH3318[H8716], both sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323: behold, they shall come forthH3318[H8802] unto you, and ye shall seeH7200[H8804] their wayH1870 and their doingsH5949: and ye shall be comfortedH5162[H8738] concerning the evilH7451 that I have broughtH935[H8689] upon JerusalemH3389, even concerning all that I have broughtH935 upon itH8689. [22]netheles saluacioun of hem that leden out sones and douytris, schal be left ther ynne. Lo! thei schulen go out to you, and ye schulen se the weie of hem, and the fyndyngis of hem; and ye schulen be coumfortid on the yuel, which Y brouyte in on Jerusalem, in alle thingis whiche Y bar in on it.
[23]And they shall comfortH5162[H8765] you, when ye seeH7200[H8799] their waysH1870 and their doingsH5949: and ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I have not doneH6213[H8804] without causeH2600 all that I have doneH6213[H8804] in it, saithH5002[H8803] the LordH136 GODH3069. [23]And thei schulen coumforte you, whanne ye schulen se the weie of hem and the fyndyngis of hem; and ye schulen knowe, that not in veyn Y dide alle thingis, what euer thingis Y dide there ynne, seith the Lord almyyti.
