[1]The Lord seith these thingis to my crist, Cirus, whos riythond Y took, that Y make suget folkis bifor his face, and turne the backis of kyngis; and Y schal opene yatis bifore hym, and yatis schulen not be closid. [1]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 to his anointedH4899, to CyrusH3566, whose right handH3225 I have holdenH2388[H8689], to subdueH7286[H8800] nationsH1471 beforeH6440 him; and I will looseH6605[H8762] the loinsH4975 of kingsH4428, to openH6605[H8800] beforeH6440 him the two leaved gatesH1817; and the gatesH8179 H5462shall not be shutH8735
[2]Y schal go bifore thee, and Y schal make lowe the gloriouse men of erthe; Y schal al to-breke brasun yatis, and Y schal breke togidere irun barris. [2]I will goH3212[H8799] beforeH6440 thee, and makeH3474 the crooked placesH1921[H8803] straightH3474[H8762][H8675][H3474][H8686]: I will break in piecesH7665[H8762] the gatesH1817 of brassH5154, and cut in sunderH1438[H8762] the barsH1280 of ironH1270:
[3]And Y schal yyue hid tresours to thee, and the priuy thingis of priuytees, that thou wite, that Y am the Lord, that clepe thi name, God of Israel, [3]And I will giveH5414[H8804] thee the treasuresH214 of darknessH2822, and hidden richesH4301 of secret placesH4565, that thou mayest knowH3045[H8799] that I, the LORDH3068, which callH7121[H8802] thee by thy nameH8034, am the GodH430 of IsraelH3478.
[4]for my seruaunt Jacob, and Israel my chosun, and Y clepide thee bi thi name; Y licnyde thee, and thou knewist not me. [4]For JacobH3290 my servant'sH5650 sake, and IsraelH3478 mine electH972, I have even calledH7121[H8799] thee by thy nameH8034: I have surnamedH3655[H8762] thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 meH8804.
[5]Y am the Lord, and ther is no more; with out me is no God. Y haue gird thee, and thou knewist not me. [5]I am the LORDH3068, and there is none else, there is no GodH430 besideH2108 me: I girdedH247[H8762] thee, though thou hast not knownH3045 meH8804:
[6]That thei that ben at the risyng of the sunne, and thei that ben at the west, know, that with out me is no God. [6]That they may knowH3045[H8799] from the risingH4217 of the sunH8121, and from the westH4628, that there is noneH657 besideH1107 me. I am the LORD, and there is none elseH3068.
[7]Y am the Lord, and noon other God is; fourmynge liyt, and makynge derknessis, makynge pees, and fourmynge yuel; Y am the Lord, doynge alle these thingis. [7]I formH3335[H8802] the lightH216, and createH1254[H8802] darknessH2822: I makeH6213[H8802] peaceH7965, and createH1254[H8802] evilH7451: I the LORDH3068 doH6213 all these thingsH8802.
[8]Heuenes, sende ye out deew fro aboue, and cloudis, reyne a iust man; the erthe be openyde, and brynge forth the sauyour, and riytfulnesse be borun togidere; Y the Lord haue maad hym of nouyt. [8]Drop downH7491[H8685], ye heavensH8064, from aboveH4605, and let the skiesH7834 pour downH5140[H8799] righteousnessH6664: let the earthH776 openH6605[H8799], and let them bring forthH6509[H8799] salvationH3468, and let righteousnessH6666 spring upH6779[H8686] togetherH3162; I the LORDH3068 have createdH1254 itH8804.
[9]Wo to hym that ayen seith his maker, a tiel stoon of erthe of Sannys. Whether clei seith to his pottere, What makist thou, and thi werk is withouten hondis? [9]WoeH1945 unto him that strivethH7378[H8801] with his MakerH3335[H8802]! Let the potsherdH2789 strive with the potsherdsH2789 of the earthH127. Shall the clayH2563 sayH559[H8799] to him that fashionethH3335[H8802] it, What makestH6213[H8799] thou? or thy workH6467, He hath no handsH3027?
[10]Wo to hym that seith to the fadir, What gendrist thou? and to a womman, What childist thou? [10]WoeH1945 unto him that saithH559[H8802] unto his fatherH1, What begettestH3205[H8686] thou? or to the womanH802, What hast thou brought forthH2342?[H8799]
[11]The Lord, the hooli of Israel, the fourmere therof, seith these thingis, Axe ye me thingis to comynge on my sones, and sende ye to me on the werkis of myn hondis. [11]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, and his MakerH3335[H8802], AskH7592[H8798] me of things to comeH857[H8802] concerning my sonsH1121, and concerning the workH6467 of my handsH3027 commandH6680 ye meH8762.
[12]Y made erthe, and Y made a man on it; myn hondis helden abrood heuenes, and Y comaundide to al the knyythod of tho. [12]I have madeH6213[H8804] the earthH776, and createdH1254[H8804] manH120 upon it: I, even my handsH3027, have stretched outH5186[H8804] the heavensH8064, and all their hostH6635 have I commandedH6680.[H8765]
[13]Y reiside hym to riytfulnesse, and Y schal dresse alle hise weies; he schal bilde my citee, and he schal delyuere my prisoneris, not in prijs, nether in yiftis, seith the Lord of oostis. [13]I have raised him upH5782[H8689] in righteousnessH6664, and I will directH3474[H8762] all his waysH1870: he shall buildH1129[H8799] my cityH5892, and he shall let goH7971[H8762] my captivesH1546, not for priceH4242 nor rewardH7810, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635.
[14]The Lord God seith these thingis, The trauel of Egipt, and the marchaundie of Ethiopie, and of Sabaym; hiy men schulen go to thee, and schulen be thine; thei schulen go aftir thee, thei schulen go boundun in manyclis, and schulen worschipe thee, and schulen biseche thee. God is oneli in thee, and with out thee is no God. [14]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, The labourH3018 of EgyptH4714, and merchandiseH5505 of EthiopiaH3568 and of the SabeansH5436, menH582 of statureH4060, shall come overH5674[H8799] unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall comeH3212[H8799] afterH310 thee; in chainsH2131 they shall come overH5674[H8799], and they shall fall downH7812[H8691] unto thee, they shall make supplicationH6419[H8691] unto thee, saying, Surely GodH410 is in thee; and there is none else, there is noH657 GodH430.
[15]Verili thou art God hid, God, the sauyour of Israel. [15]VerilyH403 thou art a GodH410 that hidestH5641[H8693] thyself, O GodH430 of IsraelH3478, the SaviourH3467.[H8688]
[16]Alle makeris of errours ben schent, and weren aschamed; thei yeden togidere in to confusioun. [16]They shall be ashamedH954[H8804], and also confoundedH3637[H8738], all of them: they shall goH1980[H8804] to confusionH3639 togetherH3162 that are makersH2796 of idolsH6736.
[17]Israel is sauyde in the Lord, bi euerlastynge helthe; ye schulen not be schent, and ye schulen not be aschamed, til in to the world of world. [17]But IsraelH3478 shall be savedH3467[H8738] in the LORDH3068 with an everlastingH5769 salvationH8668: ye shall not be ashamedH954[H8799] nor confoundedH3637[H8735] worldH5769 without endH5703.
[18]For whi the Lord makynge heuenes of nouyt, seith these thingis; he is God fourmynge erthe, and makinge it, he is the makere therof; he made it of noyt, not in veyn, but he formyde it, that it be enhabitid; Y am the Lord, and noon other is. [18]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 that createdH1254[H8802] the heavensH8064; GodH430 himself that formedH3335[H8802] the earthH776 and madeH6213[H8802] it; he hath establishedH3559[H8790] it, he createdH1254[H8804] it not in vainH8414, he formedH3335[H8804] it to be inhabitedH3427[H8800]: I am the LORD; and there is none elseH3068.
[19]Y spak not in hid place, not in a derk place of erthe; I seide not to the seed of Jacob, Seke ye me in veyn. Y am the Lord spekynge riytfulnesse, tellynge riytful thingis. [19]I have not spokenH1696[H8765] in secretH5643, in a darkH2822 placeH4725 of the earthH776: I saidH559[H8804] not unto the seedH2233 of JacobH3290, SeekH1245[H8761] ye me in vainH8414: I the LORDH3068 speakH1696[H8802] righteousnessH6664, I declareH5046[H8688] things that are rightH4339.
[20]Be ye gaderid, and come ye, and neiye ye togidere, that ben sauyd of hethene men; thei that reisen a signe of her grauyng, knewen not, and thei preien a god that saueth not. [20]AssembleH6908[H8734] yourselves and comeH935[H8798]; draw nearH5066[H8690] togetherH3162, ye that are escapedH6412 of the nationsH1471: they have no knowledgeH3045[H8804] that set upH5375[H8802] the woodH6086 of their graven imageH6459, and prayH6419[H8693] unto a godH410 that cannot saveH3467.[H8686]
[21]Telle ye, and come ye, and take ye councel togidere. Who made this herd fro the bigynnyng? fro that tyme Y bifor seide it. Whether Y am not the Lord, and no God is ferthere with out me? God riytful and sauynge is noon, outakun me. [21]TellH5046[H8685] ye, and bring them nearH5066[H8685]; yea, let them take counselH3289[H8735] togetherH3162: who hath declaredH8085[H8689] this from ancient timeH6924? who hath toldH5046[H8689] it from that time? have not I the LORDH3068? and there is no GodH430 else besideH1107 me; a justH6662 GodH410 and a SaviourH3467[H8688]; there is noneH369 beside meH2108.
[22]Alle the coostis of erthe, be ye conuertid to me, and ye schulen be saaf; for Y am the Lord, and noon other is. [22]LookH6437[H8798] unto me, and be ye savedH3467[H8734], all the endsH657 of the earthH776: for I am God, and there is none elseH410.
[23]Y swoor in my silf, a word of riytfulnesse schal go out of my mouth, and it schal not turne ayen; [23]I have swornH7650[H8738] by myself, the wordH1697 is gone outH3318[H8804] of my mouthH6310 in righteousnessH6666, and shall not returnH7725[H8799], That unto me every kneeH1290 shall bowH3766[H8799], every tongueH3956 shall swearH7650.[H8735]
[24]for ech kne schal be bowid to me, and ech tunge schal swere. [24]Surely, shall one sayH559[H8804], in the LORDH3068 have I righteousnessH6666 and strengthH5797: even to him shall men comeH935[H8799]; and all that are incensedH2734[H8737] against him shall be ashamedH954.[H8799]
[25]Therfor thei schulen sei in the Lord, Riytfulnessis and empire ben myne; alle that fiyten ayens hym schulen come to hym, and schulen be aschamed. [25]In the LORDH3068 shall all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 be justifiedH6663[H8799], and shall gloryH1984.[H8691]
