| [1]Heare O ye heauens, and I shal speake, and let the earth heare the wordes of my mouth |
[1]Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. |
| [2]My doctrine shal drop as doth the rayne: and my speache shall flowe as doth the deawe, as the shoure vpon the hearbes, and as the droppes vpon the grasse |
[2]My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: |
| [3]For I wyll publishe the name of the Lord: Ascribe ye honour vnto our God |
[3]Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. |
| [4]Perfect is the worke of the most mightie God, for all his wayes are iudgement: He is a God of trueth, without wickednesse, righteous and iust is he |
[4]He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. |
| [5]Frowardly haue they done agaynst hym by their vices, not beyng his owne children, but a wicked and frowarde generation |
[5]They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. |
| [6]Do ye so rewarde the Lord, O foolishe nation and vnwise? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he nat made thee, and ordeyned thee |
[6]Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? |
| [7]Remember the dayes of the worlde that is past, consider the yeres of so many generations: Aske thy father, and he wyll shewe thee, thy elders, and they wyll tell thee |
[7]Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. |
| [8]When the most hyest deuided to the nations their inheritaunce, and when he seperated the sonnes of Adam, he put the borders of the nations accordyng to the number of the children of Israel |
[8]When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. |
| [9]For the Lordes part is his people, and Iacob is the portion of his inheritauce |
[9]For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. |
| [10]He founde hym in a desert lande, in a voyde grounde, and in a roaryng wildernesse: He led hym about, he gaue hym vnderstandyng, and kept hym as the apple of his eye |
[10]He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. |
| [11]As an Egle that stirreth vp her nest, and flittereth ouer her young, & spreadeth her wynges, taketh them, and beareth them on her wynges |
[11]As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: |
| [12]The Lorde alone was his guyde, and there was no straunge god with hym |
[12]So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. |
| [13]He caryed hym vp to the hygh places of the earth, that he myght eate the encrease of the fieldes: And he fed hym with honye out of the rocke, and with oyle out of the most harde stone |
[13]He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; |
| [14]With butter of kine, and mylke of the sheepe, with fat of the lambes, and fat of rammes and hee goates, with the fat of the most plenteous wheate, and that thou myghtest drynke the most pure blood of the grape |
[14]Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. |
| [15]But he that shoulde haue ben vpright, when he waxed fat, spurned with his heele: Thou art well fed, thou art growen thicke, thou art euen laden with fatnesse: And he forsoke God his maker, and regarded not the God of his saluation |
[15]But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. |
| [16]They prouoked hym to anger with straunge gods, euen with abhominations prouoked they hym |
[16]They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. |
| [17]They offered vnto deuils, and not to God: euen to gods whom they knewe not, to newe gods that came newly vp, whom their fathers feared not |
[17]They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. |
| [18]Of God that begat thee thou art vnmyndfull, and hast forgotten God that made thee |
[18]Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. |
| [19]The Lorde therfore sawe it, and was angry: because of the prouokyng of his sonnes and his daughters |
[19]And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. |
| [20]And he sayde: I wyll hyde my face from them, and wil see what their ende shalbe: For they are a very frowarde generation, childre in whom is no faith |
[20]And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. |
| [21]They haue angred me with that which is no god, and prouoked me with their vanities: And I also wyll prouoke them with those whiche are no people, I wyll anger them with a foolishe nation |
[21]They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. |
| [22]For fire is kindled in my wrath, and burneth vnto the bottome of hell, and hath consumed the earth with her increase, and set a fire the botomes of the mountaynes |
[22]For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. |
| [23]I wyll heape mischiefes vpon them, & wyll destroy them with mine arrowes |
[23]I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. |
| [24]They shalbe burnt with hunger, and consumed with heate, and with bitter destruction: I wyll also sende the teeth of beastes vpon them, with the furiousnesse of serpentes in the dust |
[24]They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. |
| [25]Withoutforth shall the sworde robbe them of their children, and within in the chamber feare: both young men & young women, and the suckelynges, with the men of gray heades |
[25]The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. |
| [26]I haue sayde, I wyll scatter them abrode, and make the remembraunce of them to ceasse from among men |
[26]I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: |
| [27]Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemie, lest their aduersaries should vtterly withdrawe the selues, and lest they shoulde say: our hye hande hath done all this, and not the Lorde |
[27]Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. |
| [28]For it is a nation voyde of counsayle, neither is there any vnderstandyng in them |
[28]For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. |
| [29]O that they were wyse, and vnderstoode this, that they woulde consider their latter ende |
[29]O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! |
| [30]Howe shoulde one chase a thousande, & two put ten thousand to flyght, except their maker had solde them, and except the Lorde had shut them vp |
[30]How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up? |
| [31]For their god is not as our God: our enemies also them selues are iudges |
[31]For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. |
| [32]For their vine is of the vineyarde of Sodome, & of the fieldes of Gomorra: their grapes are grapes of gall, and their clusters be bitter |
[32]For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: |
| [33]Their vine is the poyson of dragons, and the cruell gall of aspes |
[33]Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. |
| [34]Is not this layde in store with me, and sealed vp among my treasures |
[34]Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? |
| [35]Uengeaunce is myne, and I wyll rewarde, their feete shall slyde in due tyme: For the day of their destruction is at hande, and the thynges that shall come vpon them, make haste |
[35]To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. |
| [36]For the Lord shal iudge his people, and haue compassion on his seruautes, when he seeth that their power is gone, and that they be in a maner shut vp, or brought to naught and forsaken |
[36]For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. |
| [37]And he shall say: Where are their gods, their god in whom they trusted |
[37]And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, |
| [38]The fat of whose sacrifices they dyd eate, & dranke the wine of their drinke offerynges: let them ryse vp, and helpe you, and be your protection |
[38]Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. |
| [39]See nowe howe that I, I am God, and there is none but I: I kyll, and wyll make alyue: I wounde, and wyll heale, neither is there any that can delyuer out of my hande |
[39]See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. |
| [40]For I wyll lift vp myne hande to heauen, and wyll say: I lyue euer |
[40]For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. |
| [41]If I whet the edge of my sworde, and mine hande take holde to do iustice, I wyl recompence vengeaunce on mine enemies, and wyll rewarde them that hate me |
[41]If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. |
| [42]I wyll make myne arrowes drunke with blood, and my sworde shal deuour fleshe, & that for the blood of the slayne, and for their captiuitie, sence the begynnyng of the wrath of the enemie |
[42]I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. |
| [43]Prayse ye heathen his people, for he wyll auenge the blood of his seruautes, and will auenge him of his aduersaries, and wyll be mercifull vnto his lande, and to his people |
[43]Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. |
| [44]And Moyses came and spake all the wordes of this song in the eares of the people, he & Iosuah the sonne of Nun |
[44]And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. |
| [45]And Moyses spake all these wordes vnto the ende, to al the people of Israel |
[45]And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: |
| [46]And sayde vnto them: Set your heartes vnto all the wordes which I testifie vnto you this day, and ye shall commaunde them vnto your children, that they may obserue and do all the wordes of this lawe |
[46]And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. |
| [47]And let it not be a vayne worde vnto you: for in it is your lyfe, and through this worde ye shall prolong your dayes in the lande whyther ye go ouer Iordane to possesse it |
[47]For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. |
| [48]And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses the same day, saying |
[48]And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, |
| [49]Get thee vp into this mountayne Abarim, vnto mount Nebo, which is in the lande of Moab, ouer agaynst Iericho, and beholde the lande of Chanaan which I geue vnto the children of Israel to possesse |
[49]Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: |
| [50]And dye in the mount whiche thou goest vnto, and thou shalt be gathered vnto thy people, as Aaron thy brother dyed in mount Hor, and was gathered vnto his people |
[50]And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people: |
| [51]Because ye trespassed agaynst me among the children of Israel at the waters of stryfe at Cades in the wildernesse of Zin: for ye sanctified me not among the children of Israel |
[51]Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. |
| [52]Thou shalt therfore see the lande before thee, and shalt not go thyther vnto the lande which I geue the children of Israel |
[52]Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel. |
