[1]Neiye, ye hethene men, and here; and ye puplis, perseyue; the erthe, and the fulnesse therof, the world, and al buriownyng therof, here ye. [1]Come nearH7126[H8798], ye nationsH1471, to hearH8085[H8800]; and hearkenH7181[H8685], ye peopleH3816: let the earthH776 hearH8085[H8799], and all that is thereinH4393; the worldH8398, and all things that come forth of itH6631.
[2]For whi indignacioun of the Lord is on alle folkis, and strong veniaunce on al the chyualrie of hem; he killide hem, and yaf hem in to sleyng. [2]For the indignationH7110 of the LORDH3068 is upon all nationsH1471, and his furyH2534 upon all their armiesH6635: he hath utterly destroyedH2763[H8689] them, he hath deliveredH5414[H8804] them to the slaughterH2874.
[3]The slayn men of hem schulen be cast forth, and stynk schal stie of the careyns of hem; hillis schulen flete of the blood of hem. [3]Their slainH2491 also shall be cast outH7993[H8714], and their stinkH889 shall come upH5927[H8799] out of their carcasesH6297, and the mountainsH2022 shall be meltedH4549[H8738] with their bloodH1818.
[4]And al the chyualrie of heuenys schal faile, and heuenys schulen be foldid togidere as a book, and al the knyythod of tho schal flete doun, as the leef of a vyner and of a fige tre fallith doun. [4]And all the hostH6635 of heavenH8064 shall be dissolvedH4743[H8738], and the heavensH8064 shall be rolled togetherH1556[H8738] as a scrollH5612: and all their hostH6635 shall fall downH5034[H8799], as the leafH5929 falleth offH5034[H8800] from the vineH1612, and as a fallingH5034[H8802] fig from the fig treeH8384.
[5]For my swerd is fillid in heuene; lo! it schal come doun on Ydumee, and on the puple of my sleyng, to doom. [5]For my swordH2719 shall be bathedH7301[H8765] in heavenH8064: behold, it shall come downH3381[H8799] upon IdumeaH123, and upon the peopleH5971 of my curseH2764, to judgmentH4941.
[6]The swerd of the Lord is fillid of blood, it is maad fat of the ynner fatnesse of the blood of lambren and of buckis of geet, of the blood of rammes ful of merow; for whi the slayn sacrifice of the Lord is in Bosra, and greet sleyng is in the lond of Edom. [6]The swordH2719 of the LORDH3068 is filledH4390[H8804] with bloodH1818, it is made fatH1878[H8719] with fatnessH2459, and with the bloodH1818 of lambsH3733 and goatsH6260, with the fatH2459 of the kidneysH3629 of ramsH352: for the LORDH3068 hath a sacrificeH2077 in BozrahH1224, and a greatH1419 slaughterH2874 in the landH776 of IdumeaH123.
[7]And vnycornes schulen go doun with hem, and bolis with hem that ben myyti; the lond of hem schal be fillid with blood, and the erthe of hem with ynnere fatnesse of fatte beestis; [7]And the unicornsH7214 shall come downH3381[H8804] with them, and the bullocksH6499 with the bullsH47; and their landH776 shall be soakedH7301[H8765] with bloodH1818, and their dustH6083 made fatH1878[H8792] with fatnessH2459.
[8]for it is a dai of veniaunce of the Lord, a yeer of yeldyng of the dom of Sion. [8]For it is the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5359, and the yearH8141 of recompencesH7966 for the controversyH7379 of ZionH6726.
[9]And the strondis therof schulen be turned in to pitche, and the erthe therof in to brymstoon; and the lond therof schal be in to brennyng pitch, niyt and dai. [9]And the streamsH5158 thereof shall be turnedH2015[H8738] into pitchH2203, and the dustH6083 thereof into brimstoneH1614, and the landH776 thereof shall become burningH1197[H8802] pitchH2203.
[10]It schal not be quenchid withouten ende, the smoke therof schal stie fro generacioun in to generacioun, and it schal be desolat in to worldis of worldis; noon schal passe therbi. [10]It shall not be quenchedH3518[H8799] nightH3915 nor dayH3119; the smokeH6227 thereof shall go upH5927[H8799] for everH5769: from generationH1755 to generationH1755 it shall lie wasteH2717[H8799]; none shall pass throughH5674[H8802] it for everH5331 and everH5331.
[11]And onocrotalus, and an irchoun schulen welde it; and a capret, and a crowe schulen dwelle therynne; and a mesure schal be stretchid forth theronne, that it be dryuun to nouyt, and an hangynge plomet in to desolacyoun. [11]But the cormorantH6893 and the bitternH7090 shall possessH3423[H8804] it; the owlH3244 also and the ravenH6158 shall dwellH7931[H8799] in it: and he shall stretch outH5186[H8804] upon it the lineH6957 of confusionH8414, and the stonesH68 of emptinessH922.
[12]The noble men therof schulen not be there; rathere thei schulen clepe the kyng in to help, and alle the princes therof schulen be in to nouyt. [12]They shall callH7121[H8799] the noblesH2715 thereof to the kingdomH4410, but none shall be there, and all her princesH8269 shall be nothingH657.
[13]And thornes and nettlis schulen growe in the housis therof, and a tasil in the strengthis therof; and it schal be the couche of dragouns, and the lesewe of ostrichis. [13]And thornsH5518 shall come upH5927[H8804] in her palacesH759, nettlesH7057 and bramblesH2336 in the fortressesH4013 thereof: and it shall be an habitationH5116 of dragonsH8577, and a courtH2681 for owlsH1323.[H3284]
[14]And fendis, and wondurful beestis, lijk men in the hiyere part and lijk assis in the nethir part, and an heeri schulen meete; oon schal crie to an other. [14]The wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall also meetH6298[H8804] with the wild beasts of the islandH338, and the satyrH8163 shall cryH7121[H8799] to his fellowH7453; the screech owlH3917 also shall restH7280[H8689] there, and findH4672[H8804] for herself a place of restH4494.
[15]Lamya schal ligge there, and foond rest there to hir silf; there an irchoun hadde dichis, and nurschide out whelpis, and diggide aboute, and fostride in the schadewe therof; there kitis weren gaderid togidere, oon to another. [15]There shall the great owlH7091 make her nestH7077[H8765], and layH4422[H8762], and hatchH1234[H8804], and gatherH1716[H8804] under her shadowH6738: there shall the vulturesH1772 also be gatheredH6908[H8738], every oneH802 with her mateH7468.
[16]Seke ye diligentli in the book of the Lord, and rede ye; oon of tho thingis failide not, oon souyte not another; for he comaundide that thing, that goith forth of my mouth, and his spirit he gaderide tho togidere. [16]Seek ye outH1875[H8798] of the bookH5612 of the LORDH3068, and readH7121[H8798]: no oneH259 of theseH2007 shall failH5737[H8738], noneH802 shall wantH6485[H8804] her mateH7468: for my mouthH6310 it hath commandedH6680[H8765], and his spiritH7307 it hath gatheredH6908 themH8765.
[17]And he sente to hem eritage, and his hond departide it in mesure; til in to withouten ende tho schulen welde that lond, in generacioun and in to generacioun tho schulen dwelle ther ynne. [17]And he hath castH5307[H8689] the lotH1486 for them, and his handH3027 hath dividedH2505[H8765] it unto them by lineH6957: they shall possessH3423[H8799] it forH5704 everH5769, from generationH1755 to generationH1755 shall they dwellH7931 thereinH8799.
