| [1]Wo vnto them that imagine iniquitie, and worke wickednesse vpon their beddes: when the morning is light they practise it, because their hande hath power |
[1]Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, they execute it, because it is in the power of their hand. |
| [2]And they couet fieldes, and take them by violence, and houses, and take them away: so they oppresse a man and his house, [euen] man and his heritage |
[2]And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away; thus they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. |
| [3]Therefore thus saith the Lorde: Beholde, against this housholde haue I deuised a plague, whereout ye shall not plucke your neckes: ye shall no more go so proudly, for it wyl be a perilous time |
[3]Therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇: Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks, neither shall ye walk upright; for it shall be an evil time. |
| [4]In that day shal this parable be vsed, and a mourning shalbe made ouer you on this maner: We be vtterly desolate, the portion of my people is translated: how wyll he parte vnto vs the lande that he hath taken from vs |
[4]In that day shall they take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say: 'We are utterly ruined; he changeth the portion of my people; how doth he remove it from me! Instead of restoring our fields, he divideth them.' |
| [5]Therefore there shalbe no man to deuide thee thy portion in the congregation of the Lorde |
[5]Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the line by lot in the congregation of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇. |
| [6]Ye shal not prophecie [say they] to them that prophecie: they shal not prophecie to them, neither shall they take shame |
[6]'Preach ye not', they preach; 'They shall not preach of these things, that they shall not take shame.' |
| [7]O thou that art named the house of Iacob, is the spirite of the Lorde shortened? are these his workes? are not my words good vnto him that walketh vprightly |
[7]Do I change, O house of Jacob? Is the spirit of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 straitened? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good to him that walketh uprightly? |
| [8]But he that was yesterday my people, is rysen vp on the other side [as] against an enemie: they spoyle the beawtifull garment from them that passe by peaceably, as though they returned from the warre |
[8]But of late My people is risen up as an enemy; with the garment ye strip also the mantle from them that pass by securely, so that they are as men returning from war. |
| [9]The women of my people haue ye shut out from their pleasaunt houses, and taken away myne excellent giftes from their children |
[9]The women of My people ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their young children ye take away My glory for ever. |
| [10]Up, get you hence, for here shall ye haue no rest: because [the lande] is defiled, it shall destroy [you] which vtter destruction |
[10]Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your resting-place; because of the uncleanness thereof, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction. |
| [11]If a man walke in the spirite, and would lye falsely [saying] I wyl prophecie to thee of wine and strong drinke: that were a prophete for this people |
[11]If a man walking in wind and falsehood do lie: 'I will preach unto thee of wine and of strong drink'; he shall even be the preacher of this people. |
| [12]I wyll surely gather thee wholly O Iacob, I wyll surely gather the remnaunt of Israel, I wyll put them together as the sheepe of Bozra, as the flocke in the middest of their folde, they shall make great noyse by reason of the [multitude] of men |
[12]I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will render them all as sheep in a fold; as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men. |
| [13]The breaker shall come vp before them, they shall breake out, and passe by the gate, and go out by it: and their king shall go before them, and the Lorde shalbe vpon their heades |
[13]The breaker is gone up before them; they have broken forth and passed on, by the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 at the head of them. |
