| [1]The burdenH4853 of BabylonH894, which IsaiahH3470 the sonH1121 of AmozH531 did seeH2372.[H8804] |
[1]The birthun of Babiloyne, which birthun Ysaie, the sone of Amos, siy. |
| [2]Lift ye upH5375[H8798] a bannerH5251 upon the highH8192[H8737] mountainH2022, exaltH7311[H8685] the voiceH6963 unto them, shakeH5130[H8685] the handH3027, that they may goH935[H8799] into the gatesH6607 of the noblesH5081. |
[2]Reise ye a signe on a myisti hil, and enhaunse ye vois; reise ye the hond, and duykis entre bi the yatis. |
| [3]I have commandedH6680[H8765] my sanctified onesH6942[H8794], I have also calledH7121[H8804] my mighty onesH1368 for mine angerH639, even them that rejoiceH5947 in my highnessH1346. |
[3]Y haue comaundid to myn halewid men, and Y clepid my stronge men in my wraththe, that maken ful out ioie in my glorie. |
| [4]The noiseH6963 of a multitudeH1995 in the mountainsH2022, like asH1823 of a greatH7227 peopleH5971; a tumultuousH7588 noiseH6963 of the kingdomsH4467 of nationsH1471 gathered togetherH622[H8737]: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 musterethH6485[H8764] the hostH6635 of the battleH4421. |
[4]The vois of multitude in hillis, as of many puplis; the vois of sown of kyngis, of hethene men gaderit togidere. The Lord of oostis comaundide to the chyualry of batel, |
| [5]They comeH935[H8802] from a farH4801 countryH776, from the endH7097 of heavenH8064, even the LORDH3068, and the weaponsH3627 of his indignationH2195, to destroyH2254[H8763] the whole landH776. |
[5]to men comynge fro a fer lond. The Lord cometh fro the hiynesse of heuene, and the vessels of his strong veniaunce, that he distrie al the lond. |
| [6]HowlH3213[H8685] ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935[H8799] as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706. |
[6]Yelle ye, for the dai of the Lord is niy; as wastyng it schal come of the Lord. |
| [7]Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503[H8799], and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549:[H8735] |
[7]For this thing alle hondis schulen be vnmyyti, and eche herte of man schal faile, |
| [8]And they shall be afraidH926[H8738]: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270[H8799] of them; they shall be in painH2342[H8799] as a woman that travailethH3205[H8802]: they shall be amazedH8539[H8799] oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. |
[8]and schal be al to-brokun. Gnawyngis and sorewis schulen holde Babiloyns; thei schulen haue sorewe, as they that trauelen of child. Ech man schal wondre at his neiybore; her cheris schulen be brent faces. |
| [9]Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935[H8804], cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760[H8800] the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045[H8686] the sinners thereof out of itH2400. |
[9]Lo! the dai of the Lord schal come, cruel, and ful of indignacioun, and of wraththe, and of woodnesse; to sette the lond into wildirnesse, and to al to-breke the synneris therof fro that lond. |
| [10]For the starsH3556 of heavenH8064 and the constellationsH3685 thereof shall not giveH1984[H8686] their lightH216: the sunH8121 shall be darkenedH2821[H8804] in his going forthH3318[H8800], and the moonH3394 shall not cause her lightH216 to shineH5050.[H8686] |
[10]For whi the sterris of heuene and the schynyng of tho schulen not sprede abrood her liyt; the sunne is maade derk in his risyng, and the moone schal not schine in hir liyt. |
| [11]And I will punishH6485[H8804] the worldH8398 for their evilH7451, and the wickedH7563 for their iniquityH5771; and I will cause the arrogancyH1347 of the proudH2086 to ceaseH7673[H8689], and will lay lowH8213[H8686] the haughtinessH1346 of the terribleH6184. |
[11]And Y schal visite on the yuels of the world, and Y schal visite ayens wickid men the wickidnesse of hem; and Y schal make the pride of vnfeithful men for to reste, and Y schal make low the boost of stronge men. |
| [12]I will make a manH582 more preciousH3365[H8686] than fine goldH6337; even a manH120 than the golden wedgeH3800 of OphirH211. |
[12]A man of ful age schal be preciousere than gold, and a man schal be preciousere than pure gold and schynyng. |
| [13]Therefore I will shakeH7264[H8686] the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493[H8799] out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639. |
[13]On this thing I schal disturble heuene, and the erthe schal be moued fro his place; for the indignacioun of the Lord of oostis, and for the dai of wraththe of his strong veniaunce. |
| [14]And it shall be as the chasedH5080[H8716] roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908[H8764]: they shall every manH376 turnH6437[H8799] to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127[H8799] every oneH376 into his own landH776. |
[14]And it schal be as a doo fleynge, and as a scheep, and noon schal be that schal gadere togidere; ech man schal turne to his puple, and alle bi hem silf schulen fle to her lond. |
| [15]Every one that is foundH4672[H8737] shall be thrust throughH1856[H8735]; and every one that is joinedH5595[H8737] unto them shall fallH5307[H8799] by the swordH2719. |
[15]Ech man that is foundun, schal be slayn; and ech man that cometh aboue, schal falle doun bi swerd. |
| [16]Their childrenH5768 also shall be dashed to piecesH7376[H8792] before their eyesH5869; their housesH1004 shall be spoiledH8155[H8735], and their wivesH802 ravishedH7901[H8735][H8675][H7693].[H8735] |
[16]The yonge children of them schulen be hurtlid doun bifore the iyen of them; her housis schulen be rauischid, and her wyues schulen be defoulid. |
| [17]Behold, I will stir upH5782[H8688] the MedesH4074 against them, which shall not regardH2803[H8799] silverH3701; and as for goldH2091, they shall not delightH2654 in itH8799. |
[17]Lo! Y schal reise on them Medeis, that seken not siluer, nethir wolen gold; |
| [18]Their bowsH7198 also shall dashH7376 the young menH5288 to piecesH7376[H8762]; and they shall have no pityH7355[H8762] on the fruitH6529 of the wombH990; their eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347[H8799] childrenH1121. |
[18]but thei shulen sle litle children bi arowis, and thei schulen not haue merci on wombis yyuynge mylk, and the iye of them schal not spare on sones. |
| [19]And BabylonH894, the gloryH6643 of kingdomsH4467, the beautyH8597 of the Chaldees'H3778 excellencyH1347, shall be as when GodH430 overthrewH4114 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017. |
[19]And Babiloyne, thilke gloriouse citee in rewmes, noble in the pride of Caldeis, schal be destried, as God destried Sodom and Gomore. |
| [20]It shall neverH5331 be inhabitedH3427[H8799], neither shall it be dweltH7931[H8799] in from generationH1755 to generationH1755: neither shall the ArabianH6163 pitch tentH167[H8762] there; neither shall the shepherdsH7462[H8802] make their foldH7257 thereH8686. |
[20]It shall not be enhabitid til in to the ende, and it schal not be foundid til to generacioun and generacioun; a man of Arabie schal not sette tentis there, and scheepherdis schulen not reste there. |
| [21]But wild beasts of the desertH6728 shall lieH7257[H8804] there; and their housesH1004 shall be fullH4390[H8804] of doleful creaturesH255; and owlsH1323[H3284] shall dwellH7931[H8804] there, and satyrsH8163 shall danceH7540 thereH8762. |
[21]But wielde beestis schulen reste there, and the housis of hem schulen be fillid with dragouns; and ostrichis schulen dwelle there, and heeri beestis schulen skippe there. |
| [22]And the wild beasts of the islandsH338 shall cryH6030[H8804] in their desolate housesH490, and dragonsH8577 in their pleasantH6027 palacesH1964: and her timeH6256 is nearH7138 to comeH935[H8800], and her daysH3117 shall not be prolongedH4900.[H8735] |
[22]And bitouris schulen answere there in the housis therof, and fliynge serpentis in the templis of lust. |
