| [1]Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against the house of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; because they transgressed My covenant, and trespassed against My law. |
[1]A trumpe be in thi throte, as an egle on the hous of the Lord; for that that thei yeden ouer my boond of pees, and braken my lawe. |
| [2]Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'? |
[2]Thei clepiden me to helpe, A! my God, we Israel han knowe thee. |
| [3]Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him. |
[3]Israel hath cast awei good, the enemye schal pursue hym. |
| [4]They have set up kings, but not from Me, they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. |
[4]Thei regnyden, and not of me; thei weren princes, and Y knew not. Thei maden her gold and siluer idols to hem, that thei schulden perische. |
| [5]Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? |
[5]A! Samarie, thi calf is cast awei; my strong veniaunce is wrooth ayens hem. Hou long moun thei not be clensid? |
| [6]For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers. |
[6]for also it is of Israel. A crafti man made it, and it is not god; for the calf of Samarie schal be in to webbis of ireyns. |
| [7]For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up. |
[7]For thei schulen sowe wynd, and thei schulen repe whirlewynd. A stalke stondynge is not in hem, the seed schal not make mele; that if also it makith mele, aliens schulen ete it. |
| [8]Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value. |
[8]Israel is deuouryd; now Israel is maad as an vnclene vessel among naciouns, |
| [9]For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers. |
[9]for thei stieden to Assur. Effraym is a wielde asse, solitarie to hym silf. Thei yauen yiftis to louyeris; |
| [10]Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes. |
[10]but also with meede thei hiriden naciouns. Now Y schal gadere hem togidere, and thei schulen reste a litil fro birthun of the kyng and of princes. |
| [11]For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin. |
[11]For Efraym multipliede auteris to do synne, auteris weren maad to hym in to trespas. |
| [12]Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's. |
[12]Y schal write to hem my many fold lawis, that ben arettid as alien lawis. |
| [13]As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt. |
[13]Thei schulen brynge sacrifices, thei shulen offre, and ete fleischis; and the Lord schal not resseyue tho. Now he schal haue mynde on the wickidnessis of hem, and he schal visite the synnes of hem; thei schulen turne in to Egipt. |
| [14]For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof. |
[14]And Israel foryat his makere, and bildide templis to idols, and Judas multipliede stronge citees; and Y schal sende fier in to the citees of hym, and it schal deuoure the housis of hym. |
