| [1]In that dai the Lord schal visite in his hard swerd, and greet, and strong, on leuyathan, serpent, a barre, and on leuyathan, the crookid serpent; and he schal sle the whal, which is in the see. |
[1]In that day the Lord with his sore and great and mighty sword shall visit leviathan, that piercing serpent, even leviathan, that crooked serpent, and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. |
| [2]In that dai the vyner of cleen wyn and good schal synge to him. |
[2]In that day sing of the vineyard of red wine. |
| [3]Y am the Lord that kepe that vyner; sudeynli Y schal yyue drynke to it, lest perauenture it be visitid ayens it; |
[3]I the Lord do keep it: I will water it every moment: lest any assail it, I will keep it night and day. |
| [4]nyyt and dai Y kepe it, indignacioun is not to me. Who schal yyue me a thorn and brere? In batel Y schal go on it, Y schal brenne it togidere. |
[4]Anger is not in me: who would set the briers and the thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. |
| [5]Whether rathere Y schal holde my strengthe? It schal make pees to me, it schal make pees to me, for |
[5]Or will he feel my strength, that he may make peace with me, and be at one with me? |
| [6]the merit of hem that schulen go out with fersnesse fro Jacob. Israel schal floure and brynge forth seed, and thei schulen fille the face of the world with seed. |
[6]Hereafter, Jacob shall take root: Israel shall flourish and grow, and the world shall be filled with fruit. |
| [7]Whether he smoot it bi the wounde of the puple of Jewis smytynge hym? ether as it killide the slayn men of hym, so it was slayn? |
[7]Hath he smitten him as he smote those that smote him? Or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by him? |
| [8]In mesure ayens mesure, whanne it schal be cast awei, he schal deme it; he bithouyte in his hard spirit, bi the dai of heete. |
[8]In measure in the branches thereof wilt thou contend with it, when he bloweth with his rough wind in the day of the east wind. |
| [9]Therfor on this thing wickidnesse schal be foryouun to the hous of Jacob, and this schal be al the fruyt, that the synne therof be don awei, whanne it hath set all the stoonys of the auter as the stoonys of aische hurtlid doun. Wodis and templis schulen not stonde. |
[9]By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged, and this is all the fruit, the taking away of his sin: when he shall make all the stones of the altars, as chalk stones broken in pieces, that the groves and images may not stand up. |
| [10]Forsothe the strong citee schal be desolat, the fair citee schal be left, and schal be forsakun as a desert; there a calf schal be lesewid, and schal ligge there, and schal waste the hiynessis therof. |
[10]Yet the defensed city shall be desolate, and the habitation shall be forsaken, and left like a wilderness. There shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie, and consume the branches thereof. |
| [11]In the drynesse of ripe corn therof wymmen comynge, and thei that techen it, schulen be al to-brokun. Forsothe it is not a wijs puple, therfor he that made it, schal not haue mercy on it; and he that formyde it, schal not spare it. |
[11]When the boughs of it are dry, they shall be broken: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of none understanding: therefore he that made them, shall not have compassion of them, and he that formed them, shall have no mercy on them. |
| [12]And it schal be, in that dai the Lord schal smyte thee, fro the botme of the flood `til to the stronde of Egipt; and ye sones of Israel, schulen be gaderid oon and oon. |
[12]And in that day shall the Lord thresh from the channel of the river unto the river of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered, one by one, O children of Israel. |
| [13]And it schal be, in that dai me schal come with a greet trumpe, and thei that weren lost, schulen come fro the lond of Assiriens, and thei that weren cast out, schulen come fro the lond of Egipt; and they schulen worschipe the Lord, in the hooli hil in Jerusalem. |
[13]In that day also shall the great trumpet be blown, and they shall come, which perished in the land of Asshur [Assyria]: and they that were chased into the land of Egypt, and they shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. |
