[1]BlowH8628[H8798] ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321[H8685] in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of the landH776 trembleH7264[H8799]: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935[H8804], for it is nigh at handH7138; [1]Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, yelle ye in myn hooli hil. Alle the dwelleris of erthe be disturblid; for the dai of the Lord cometh,
[2]A dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and of gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and of thick darknessH6205, as the morningH7837 spreadH6566[H8803] upon the mountainsH2022: a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strongH6099; there hath not beenH1961[H8738] everH5769 the like, neither shall be any moreH3254[H8686] afterH310 it, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755. [2]for the dai of derknessis and of myist is niy, the dai of cloude and of whirlewynde. As the morewtid spred abrood on hillis, a myche puple and strong. Noon was lijk it fro the bigynnyng, and after it schal not be, til in to yeeris of generacioun and of generacioun.
[3]A fireH784 devourethH398[H8804] beforeH6440 them; and behindH310 them a flameH3852 burnethH3857[H8762]: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 beforeH6440 them, and behindH310 them a desolateH8077 wildernessH4057; yea, and nothing shall escape themH6413. [3]Bifore the face therof schal be fier deuourynge, and after it schal be brennynge flawme; as a gardyn of liking the lond schal be bifor him, and wildirnesse of desert schal be after him, and noon is that schal ascape him.
[4]The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so shall they runH7323.[H8799] [4]The lokyng of hem schal be as the lokyng of horsis, and as horse men so thei schulen renne.
[5]Like the noiseH6963 of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of mountainsH2022 shall they leapH7540[H8762], like the noiseH6963 of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devourethH398[H8802] the stubbleH7179, as a strongH6099 peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 arrayH6186.[H8803] [5]As the sown of cartis on the heedis of hillis thei schulen skippe; as the sowne of the flawme of fier deuourynge stobil, as a strong puple maad redi to batel.
[6]Before their faceH6440 the peopleH5971 shall be much painedH2342[H8799]: all facesH6440 shall gatherH6908[H8765] blacknessH6289. [6]Puplis schulen be turmentid of the face therof, alle facis schulen be dryuun in to a pot.
[7]They shall runH7323[H8799] like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927[H8799] the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212[H8799] every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670[H8762] their ranksH734: [7]As stronge men thei schulen renne, as men werriours thei schulen stie on the wal. Men schulen go in her weies, and thei schulen not bowe awei fro her pathis.
[8]Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766[H8799] anotherH251; they shall walkH3212[H8799] every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307[H8799] upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214.[H8799] [8]Ech man schal not make streyt his brother, ech man schal go in his path; but also thei schulen falle doun bi wyndows, and schulen not be hirt.
[9]They shall run to and froH8264[H8799] in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323[H8799] upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927[H8799] upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935[H8799] at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590. [9]Thei schulen entre in to the citee, thei schulen renne on the wal; thei schulen stie on housis, thei schulen entre as a niyt theef bi wyndows.
[10]The earthH776 shall quakeH7264[H8804] beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493[H8804]: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937[H8804], and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622[H8804] their shiningH5051: [10]The erthe tremblide of his face, heuenys weren mouyd, the sunne and the moone weren maad derk, and sterris withdrowen her schynyng.
[11]And the LORDH3068 shall utterH5414[H8804] his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213[H8802] his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372[H8737]; and who can abideH3557 itH8686? [11]And the Lord yaf his vois bifor the face of his oost, for hise oostis ben ful manye; for tho ben stronge, and doen the word of hym. For the dai of the Lord is greet, and ful ferdful, and who schal suffre it?
[12]Therefore also now, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, turnH7725[H8798] ye even to me with all your heartH3824, and with fastingH6685, and with weepingH1065, and with mourningH4553: [12]Now therfor seith the Lord, Be ye conuertid to me in al youre herte, in fastyng, and wepyng, and weilyng;
[13]And rendH7167[H8798] your heartH3824, and not your garmentsH899, and turnH7725[H8798] unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he is graciousH2587 and mercifulH7349, slowH750 to angerH639, and of greatH7227 kindnessH2617, and repentethH5162[H8737] him of the evilH7451. [13]and kerue ye youre hertis, and not youre clothis, and be ye conuertid to youre Lord God, for he is benygne, and merciful, pacient, and of myche merci, and abidynge, ether foryyuynge, on malice.
[14]Who knowethH3045[H8802] if he will returnH7725[H8799] and repentH5162[H8738], and leaveH7604[H8689] a blessingH1293 behindH310 him; even a meat offeringH4503 and a drink offeringH5262 unto the LORDH3068 your GodH430? [14]Who woot, if God be conuertid, and foryyue, and leeue blessyng aftir hym? sacrifice and moist sacrifice to oure Lord God.
[15]BlowH8628[H8798] the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942[H8761] a fastH6685, callH7121[H8798] a solemn assemblyH6116: [15]Synge ye with a trumpe in Sion, halewe ye fastyng, clepe ye cumpany; gadere ye togidere the puple, halewe ye the chirche,
[16]GatherH622[H8798] the peopleH5971, sanctifyH6942[H8761] the congregationH6951, assembleH6908[H8798] the eldersH2205, gatherH622[H8798] the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243[H8802] the breastsH7699: let the bridegroomH2860 go forthH3318[H8799] of his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 out of her closetH2646. [16]gadere ye togidere elde men, gadere ye togidere litle children, and soukynge the brestis; a spouse go out of his bed, and a spousesse of hir chaumbre.
[17]Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334[H8764] of the LORDH3068, weepH1058[H8799] between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559[H8799], SpareH2347[H8798] thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414[H8799] not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910[H8800] them: wherefore should they sayH559[H8799] among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? [17]Prestis, the mynystris of the Lord, schulen wepe bitwixe the porche and the auter, and schulen seie, Lord! spare thou, spare thi puple, and yyue thou not thin eritage in to schenschipe, that naciouns be lordis of hem. Whi seien thei among puplis, Where is the God of hem?
[18]Then will the LORDH3068 be jealousH7065[H8762] for his landH776, and pityH2550[H8799] his peopleH5971. [18]The Lord louyde gelousli his lond, and sparide his puple.
[19]Yea, the LORDH3068 will answerH6030[H8799] and sayH559[H8799] unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I will sendH7971[H8802] you cornH1715, and wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646[H8804] therewith: and I will no more makeH5414[H8799] you a reproachH2781 among the heathenH1471: [19]And the Lord answeride, and seide to his puple, Lo! Y schal sende to you wheete, and wyn, and oile, and ye schulen be fillid with tho; and Y schal no more yyue you schenschipe among hethene men.
[20]But I will remove far offH7368[H8686] from you the northernH6830 army, and will driveH5080[H8689] him into a landH776 barrenH6723 and desolateH8077, with his faceH6440 toward the eastH6931 seaH3220, and his hinder partH5490 toward the utmostH314 seaH3220, and his stinkH889 shall come upH5927[H8804], and his ill savourH6709 shall come upH5927[H8799], because he hath doneH6213[H8800] great thingsH1431.[H8689] [20]And Y schal make hym that is at the north fer fro you; and Y schal cast hym out in to a lond with out weie, and desert; his face ayens the eest see, and the laste part therof at the last see; and the stynk therof schal stie, and the root therof schal stie, for he dide proudli.
[21]FearH3372[H8799] not, O landH127; be gladH1523[H8798] and rejoiceH8055[H8798]: for the LORDH3068 will doH6213[H8800] great thingsH1431.[H8689] [21]Erthe, nyle thou drede, make thou ful out ioye, and be glad; for the Lord magnefiede that he schulde do.
[22]Be not afraidH3372[H8799], ye beastsH929 of the fieldH7704: for the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 do springH1876[H8804], for the treeH6086 bearethH5375[H8804] her fruitH6529, the fig treeH8384 and the vineH1612 do yieldH5414[H8804] their strengthH2428. [22]Beestis of the cuntrei, nyle ye drede, for the faire thingis of desert buriowneden; for the tre brouyte his fruyt, the fige tre and vyner yauen her vertu.
[23]Be gladH1523[H8798] then, ye childrenH1121 of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055[H8798] in the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he hath givenH5414[H8804] you the former rainH4175 moderatelyH6666, and he will cause to come downH3381[H8686] for you the rainH1653, the former rainH4175, and the latter rainH4456 in the first monthH7223. [23]And the sones of Sion, make ye ful out ioie, and be ye glad in youre Lord God, for he yaf to you a techere of riytfulnesse, and he schal make morewtid reyn and euentid reyn to come doun to you, as in the bigynnyng.
[24]And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390[H8804] of wheatH1250, and the fatsH3342 shall overflowH7783[H8689] with wineH8492 and oilH3323. [24]And cornflooris schulen be fillid of wheete, and pressours schulen flowe with wyn, and oile.
[25]And I will restoreH7999[H8765] to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398[H8804], the cankerwormH3218, and the caterpillerH2625, and the palmerwormH1501, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among youH8765. [25]And Y schal yelde to you the yeris whiche the locuste, bruke, and rust, and wort worm, my greet strengthe, eet, which Y sente in to you.
[26]And ye shall eatH398[H8804] in plentyH398[H8800], and be satisfiedH7646[H8800], and praiseH1984[H8765] the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that hath dealtH6213[H8804] wondrouslyH6381[H8687] with you: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.[H8799] [26]And ye schulen ete etyng, and ye schulen be fillid; and ye schulen herie the name of youre Lord God, that made merueils with you; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
[27]And ye shall knowH3045[H8804] that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and none else: and my peopleH5971 shall neverH5769 be ashamedH954.[H8799] [27]And ye schulen wite, that Y am in the myddis of Israel; and Y am youre Lord God, and `noon is more; and my puple schal not be schent with outen ende.
[28]And it shall come to pass afterwardH310, that I will pour outH8210[H8799] my spiritH7307 upon all fleshH1320; and your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 shall prophesyH5012[H8738], your old menH2205 shall dreamH2492[H8799] dreamsH2472, your young menH970 shall seeH7200[H8799] visionsH2384: [28]And it schal be, aftir these thingis Y schal schede out my spirit on ech man, and youre sones and youre douytris schulen profesie; youre elde men schulen dreme dremes, and youre yonge men schulen se visiouns.
[29]And also upon the servantsH5650 and upon the handmaidsH8198 in those daysH3117 will I pour outH8210[H8799] my spiritH7307. [29]But also Y schal schede out my spirit on my seruauntis, and handmaydis, in tho daies;
[30]And I will shewH5414[H8804] wondersH4159 in the heavensH8064 and in the earthH776, bloodH1818, and fireH784, and pillarsH8490 of smokeH6227. [30]and Y schal yyue grete wondris in heuene, and in erthe, blood, and fier, and the heete of smoke.
[31]The sunH8121 shall be turnedH2015[H8735] into darknessH2822, and the moonH3394 into bloodH1818, beforeH6440 the greatH1419 and the terribleH3372[H8737] dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comeH935.[H8800] [31]The sunne schal be turned in to derknessis, and the moone in to blood, bifor that the greet dai and orrible of the Lord come.
[32]And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall callH7121[H8799] on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 shall be deliveredH4422[H8735]: for in mountH2022 ZionH6726 and in JerusalemH3389 shall be deliveranceH6413, as the LORDH3068 hath saidH559[H8804], and in the remnantH8300 whom the LORDH3068 shall callH7121.[H8802] [32]And it schal be, ech that clepith to helpe the name of the Lord, schal be saaf; for whi saluacioun schal be in the hil of Sion and in Jerusalem, as the Lord seide, and in the residue men, whiche the Lord clepith.
