| [1]At the same timeH6256, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, will I be the GodH430 of all the familiesH4940 of IsraelH3478, and they shall be my peopleH5971. |
| [2]The Lord seith these thingis, The puple that was left of swerd, foond grace in desert; Israel schal go to his reste. |
[2]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, The peopleH5971 which were leftH8300 of the swordH2719 foundH4672[H8804] graceH2580 in the wildernessH4057; even IsraelH3478, when I wentH1980[H8800] to cause him to restH7280.[H8687] |
| [3]Fer the Lord apperide to me, and in euerlastynge charite Y louede thee; therfor Y doynge merci drow thee. |
[3]The LORDH3068 hath appearedH7200[H8738] of oldH7350 unto me, saying, Yea, I have lovedH157[H8804] thee with an everlastingH5769 loveH160: therefore with lovingkindnessH2617 have I drawnH4900 theeH8804. |
| [4]And eft Y schal bilde thee, and thou, virgyn Israel, schalt be bildid; yit thou schalt be ourned with thi tympans, and schalt go out in the cumpenye of pleieris. |
[4]Again I will buildH1129[H8799] thee, and thou shalt be builtH1129[H8738], O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478: thou shalt again be adornedH5710[H8799] with thy tabretsH8596, and shalt go forthH3318[H8804] in the dancesH4234 of them that make merryH7832.[H8764] |
| [5]Yit thou schalt plaunte vynes in the hillis of Samarie; men plauntynge schulen plaunte, and til the tyme come, thei schulen not gadere grapis. |
[5]Thou shalt yet plantH5193[H8799] vinesH3754 upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111: the plantersH5193[H8802] shall plantH5193[H8804], and shall eat them as common thingsH2490.[H8765] |
| [6]For whi a dai schal be, wherynne keperis schulen crye in the hil of Samarie, and in the hil of Effraym, Rise ye, and stie we in to Sion, to oure Lord God. |
[6]For there shall beH3426 a dayH3117, that the watchmenH5341[H8802] upon the mountH2022 EphraimH669 shall cryH7121[H8804], AriseH6965[H8798] ye, and let us go upH5927[H8799] to ZionH6726 unto the LORDH3068 our GodH430. |
| [7]For the Lord seith these thingis, Jacob, make ye ful out ioye in gladnesse, and neye ye ayens the heed of hethene men; sowne ye, synge ye, and seie ye, Lord, saue thi puple, the residues of Israel. |
[7]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; SingH7442[H8798] with gladnessH8057 for JacobH3290, and shoutH6670[H8761] among the chiefH7218 of the nationsH1471: publishH8085[H8685] ye, praiseH1984[H8761] ye, and sayH559[H8798], O LORDH3068, saveH3467[H8685] thy peopleH5971, the remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478. |
| [8]Lo! Y schal brynge hem fro the loond of the north, and Y schal gadere hem fro the fertheste partis of erthe; among whiche schulen be a blynd man, and crokid, and a womman with childe, and trauelynge of child togidere, a greet cumpeny of hem that schulen turne ayen hidur. |
[8]Behold, I will bringH935[H8688] them from the northH6828 countryH776, and gatherH6908[H8765] them from the coastsH3411 of the earthH776, and with them the blindH5787 and the lameH6455, the woman with childH2030 and her that travaileth with childH3205[H8802] togetherH3162: a greatH1419 companyH6951 shall returnH7725 thitherH8799. |
| [9]Thei schulen come in wepyng, and Y schal brynge hem ayen in merci; and Y schal brynge hem bi the strondis of watris in a riytful weie, thei schulen not spurne therynne; for Y am maad a fadir to Israel, and Effraym is my gendrid sone. |
[9]They shall comeH935[H8799] with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986[H8686] them: I will cause them to walkH3212[H8686] by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782[H8735]: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. |
| [10]Ye hethene men, here ye the word of the Lord, and telle ye in ylis that ben fer, and seie, He that scateride Israel, schal gadere it, and schal kepe it, as a scheepherde kepith his floc. |
[10]HearH8085[H8798] the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, O ye nationsH1471, and declareH5046[H8685] it in the islesH339 afar offH4801, and sayH559[H8798], He that scatteredH2219[H8764] IsraelH3478 will gatherH6908[H8762] him, and keepH8104[H8804] him, as a shepherdH7462[H8802] doth his flockH5739. |
| [11]For the Lord ayenbouyte Jacob, and delyuerede hym fro the hond of the myytiere. |
[11]For the LORDH3068 hath redeemedH6299[H8804] JacobH3290, and ransomedH1350[H8804] him from the handH3027 of him that was stronger than heH2389. |
| [12]And thei schulen come, and herye in the hil of Sion; and thei schulen flowe togidere to the goodis of the Lord, on wheete, wyn, and oile, and on the fruyt of scheep, and of neet; and the soule of hem schal be as a watri gardyn, and thei schulen no more hungre. |
[12]Therefore they shall comeH935[H8804] and singH7442[H8765] in the heightH4791 of ZionH6726, and shall flow togetherH5102[H8804] to the goodnessH2898 of the LORDH3068, for wheatH1715, and for wineH8492, and for oilH3323, and for the youngH1121 of the flockH6629 and of the herdH1241: and their soulH5315 shall be as a wateredH7302 gardenH1588; and they shall not sorrowH1669[H8800] any moreH3254 at allH8686. |
| [13]Thanne a virgyn schal be glad in a cumpenye, yonge men and elde togidere; and Y schal turne the morenyng of hem in to ioie, and Y schal coumforte hem, and Y schal make hem glad of her sorewe. |
[13]Then shall the virginH1330 rejoiceH8055[H8799] in the danceH4234, both young menH970 and oldH2205 togetherH3162: for I will turnH2015[H8804] their mourningH60 into joyH8342, and will comfortH5162[H8765] them, and make them rejoiceH8055[H8765] from their sorrowH3015. |
| [14]And Y schal greetli fille the soule of prestis with fatnesse, and my puple schal be fillid with my goodis, seith the Lord. |
[14]And I will satiateH7301[H8765] the soulH5315 of the priestsH3548 with fatnessH1880, and my peopleH5971 shall be satisfiedH7646[H8799] with my goodnessH2898, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [15]The Lord seith these thingis, A vois of weilyng, and of wepyng, and of mourenyng, was herd an hiy; the vois of Rachel biwepynge hir sones, and not willynge to be coumfortid on hem, for thei ben not. |
[15]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; A voiceH6963 was heardH8085[H8738] in RamahH7414, lamentationH5092, and bitterH8563 weepingH1065; RahelH7354 weepingH1058[H8764] for her childrenH1121 refusedH3985[H8765] to be comfortedH5162[H8736] for her children, because they were notH1121. |
| [16]The Lord seith these thingis, Thi vois reste of wepyng, and thin iyen reste of teeres; for whi mede is to thi werk, seith the Lord; and thei schulen turne ayen fro the lond of the enemy. |
[16]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; RefrainH4513[H8798] thy voiceH6963 from weepingH1065, and thine eyesH5869 from tearsH1832: for thy workH6468 shall beH3426 rewardedH7939, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068; and they shall come againH7725[H8804] from the landH776 of the enemyH341.[H8802] |
| [17]And hope is to thi laste thingis, seith the Lord, and thi sones schulen turne ayen to her endis. |
[17]And there isH3426 hopeH8615 in thine endH319, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that thy childrenH1121 shall come againH7725[H8804] to their own borderH1366. |
| [18]I heringe herde Effraym passinge ouer; thou chastisidist me, and Y am lerned as a yong oon vntemyd; turne thou me, and Y schal be conuertid, for thou art my Lord God. |
[18]I have surelyH8085[H8800] heardH8085[H8804] EphraimH669 bemoaningH5110[H8711] himself thus; Thou hast chastisedH3256[H8765] me, and I was chastisedH3256[H8735], as a bullockH5695 unaccustomedH3808[H3925][H8795] to the yoke: turnH7725[H8685] thou me, and I shall be turnedH7725[H8799]; for thou art the LORDH3068 my GodH430. |
| [19]For aftir that thou conuertidist me, Y dide penaunce; and aftir that thou schewidist to me, Y smoot myn hipe; Y am schent, and Y schamede, for Y suffride the schenschipe of my yongthe. |
[19]Surely afterH310 that I was turnedH7725[H8800], I repentedH5162[H8738]; and afterH310 that I was instructedH3045[H8736], I smoteH5606[H8804] upon my thighH3409: I was ashamedH954[H8804], yea, even confoundedH3637[H8738], because I did bearH5375[H8804] the reproachH2781 of my youthH5271. |
| [20]For Effraym is a worschipful sone to me, for he is a delicat child; for sithen Y spak of hym, yit Y schal haue mynde on hym; therfor myn entrails ben disturblid on him, Y doynge merci schal haue merci on hym, seith the Lord. |
[20]Is EphraimH669 my dearH3357 sonH1121? is he a pleasantH8191 childH3206? for sinceH1767 I spakeH1696[H8763] against him, I do earnestlyH2142[H8800] rememberH2142[H8799] him still: therefore my bowelsH4578 are troubledH1993[H8804] for him; I will surelyH7355[H8763] have mercyH7355[H8762] upon him, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [21]Ordeyne to thee an hiy totyng place, sette to thee bitternesses; dresse thin herte in to a streiyt weie, in which thou yedist; turne ayen, thou virgyn of Israel, turne ayen to these thi citees. |
[21]Set thee upH5324[H8685] waymarksH6725, makeH7760[H8798] thee high heapsH8564: setH7896[H8798] thine heartH3820 toward the highwayH4546, even the wayH1870 which thou wentestH1980[H8804]: turn againH7725[H8798], O virginH1330 of IsraelH3478, turn againH7725[H8798] to these thy citiesH5892. |
| [22]Hou longe, douyter of vnstidfast dwellyng, art thou maad dissolut in delices? for the Lord hath maad a newe thing on erthe, a womman schal cumpasse a man. |
[22]How long wilt thou go aboutH2559[H8691], O thou backslidingH7728 daughterH1323? for the LORDH3068 hath createdH1254[H8804] a new thingH2319 in the earthH776, A womanH5347 shall compassH5437[H8779] a manH1397. |
| [23]The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit thei schulen seie this word in the lond of Juda, and in the citees therof, whane Y schal turne the caytifte of hem, The Lord blesse thee, thou fairnesse of riytfulnesse, thou hooli hil. |
[23]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; As yet they shall useH559[H8799] this speechH1697 in the landH776 of JudahH3063 and in the citiesH5892 thereof, when I shall bring againH7725[H8800] their captivityH7622; The LORDH3068 blessH1288[H8762] thee, O habitationH5116 of justiceH6664, and mountainH2022 of holinessH6944. |
| [24]And Juda, and alle citees therof schulen dwelle in it togidere, erthetilieris, and thei that dryuen flockis. |
[24]And there shall dwellH3427[H8804] in JudahH3063 itself, and in all the citiesH5892 thereof togetherH3162, husbandmenH406, and they that go forthH5265[H8804] with flocksH5739. |
| [25]For Y fillide greetli a feynt soule, and Y haue fillid ech hungri soule. |
[25]For I have satiatedH7301[H8689] the wearyH5889 soulH5315, and I have replenishedH4390[H8765] every sorrowfulH1669[H8804] soulH5315. |
| [26]Therfor Y am as reisid fro sleep, and Y siy; and my sleep was swete to me. |
[26]Upon this I awakedH6974[H8689], and beheldH7200[H8799]; and my sleepH8142 was sweetH6149 unto meH8804. |
| [27]Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal sowe the hous of Israel and the hous of Juda with the seed of men, and with the seed of werk beestis. |
[27]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will sowH2232[H8804] the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 with the seedH2233 of manH120, and with the seedH2233 of beastH929. |
| [28]And as Y wakide on hem, to drawe vp bi the roote, and to distrie, and to scatere, and to leese, and to turmente; so Y schal wake on hem, to bilde, and to plaunte, seith the Lord. |
[28]And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched overH8245[H8804] them, to pluck upH5428[H8800], and to break downH5422[H8800], and to throw downH2040[H8800], and to destroyH6[H8687], and to afflictH7489[H8687]; so will I watch overH8245[H8799] them, to buildH1129[H8800], and to plantH5193[H8800], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [29]In tho daies thei schulen no more seie, The fadres eeten a sour grape, and the teeth of sones weren astonyed; but ech man schal die in his wickidnesse, |
[29]In those daysH3117 they shall sayH559[H8799] no more, The fathersH1 have eatenH398[H8804] a sour grapeH1155, and the children'sH1121 teethH8127 are set on edgeH6949.[H8799] |
| [30]ech man that etith a sour grape, hise teeth schulen be astonyed. |
[30]But every oneH376 shall dieH4191[H8799] for his own iniquityH5771: every manH120 that eatethH398[H8802] the sour grapeH1155, his teethH8127 shall be set on edgeH6949.[H8799] |
| [31]Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal smyte a newe boond of pees to the hous of Israel, and to the hous of Juda; |
[31]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will makeH3772[H8804] a newH2319 covenantH1285 with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, and with the houseH1004 of JudahH3063: |
| [32]not bi the couenaunte which Y made with youre fadris, in the dai in which Y took the hond of hem, to lede hem out of the lond of Egipt, the couenaunte which thei made voide; and Y was Lord of hem, seith the Lord. |
[32]Not according to the covenantH1285 that I madeH3772[H8804] with their fathersH1 in the dayH3117 that I tookH2388[H8687] them by the handH3027 to bring them outH3318[H8687] of the landH776 of EgyptH4714; which my covenantH1285 they brakeH6565[H8689], although I was an husbandH1166[H8804] unto them, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: |
| [33]But this schal be the couenaunte, which Y schal smyte with the hous of Israel aftir tho daies, seith the Lord; Y schal yyue my lawe in the entrails of hem, and Y schal write it in the herte of hem, and Y schal be in to God to hem, and thei schulen be in to a puple to me. |
[33]But this shall be the covenantH1285 that I will makeH3772[H8799] with the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; AfterH310 those daysH3117, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, I will putH5414[H8804] my lawH8451 in their inward partsH7130, and writeH3789[H8799] it in their heartsH3820; and will be their GodH430, and they shall be my peopleH5971. |
| [34]And a man schal no more teche his neiybore, and a man his brother, and seie, Knowe thou the Lord; for alle schulen knowe me, fro the leeste of hem `til to the mooste, seith the Lord; for Y schal be merciful to the wickidnessis of hem, and Y schal no more be myndeful on the synne of hem. |
[34]And they shall teachH3925[H8762] no more every manH376 his neighbourH7453, and every manH376 his brotherH251, sayingH559[H8800], KnowH3045[H8798] the LORDH3068: for they shall all knowH3045[H8799] me, from the leastH6996 of them unto the greatestH1419 of them, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068: for I will forgiveH5545[H8799] their iniquityH5771, and I will rememberH2142[H8799] their sin no moreH2403. |
| [35]The Lord seith these thingis, that yyueth the sunne in the liyt of dai, the ordre of the moone and of sterris in the liyt of the niyt, whiche disturblith the see, and the wawis therof sownen, the Lord of oostis is name to hym. |
[35]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, which givethH5414[H8802] the sunH8121 for a lightH216 by dayH3119, and the ordinancesH2708 of the moonH3394 and of the starsH3556 for a lightH216 by nightH3915, which dividethH7280[H8802] the seaH3220 when the wavesH1530 thereof roarH1993[H8799]; The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034: |
| [36]If these lawis failen bifore me, seith the Lord, thanne and the seed of Israel schal faile, that it be not a folk bifore me in alle daies. |
[36]If those ordinancesH2706 departH4185[H8799] from beforeH6440 me, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, then the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 also shall ceaseH7673[H8799] from being a nationH1471 beforeH6440 me for everH3117. |
| [37]The Lord seith these thingis, If heuenes aboue moun be mesurid, and the foundementis of erthe bynethe be souyt out, and Y schal caste awei al the seed of Israel, for alle thingis whiche thei diden, seith the Lord. |
[37]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; If heavenH8064 aboveH4605 can be measuredH4058[H8735], and the foundationsH4146 of the earthH776 searched outH2713[H8735] beneathH4295, I will also cast offH3988[H8799] all the seedH2233 of IsraelH3478 for all that they have doneH6213[H8804], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [38]Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and a citee schal be bildid to the Lord, fro the tour of Ananeel `til to the yate of the corner. |
[38]Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that the cityH5892 shall be builtH1129[H8738] to the LORDH3068 from the towerH4026 of HananeelH2606 unto the gateH8179 of the cornerH6438. |
| [39]And it schal go out ouer the reule of mesure, in the siyt therof, on the hil Gareb, and it schal cumpasse Goatha, |
[39]And the measuringH4060 lineH6957[H8675][H6961] shall yet go forthH3318[H8804] over against it upon the hillH1389 GarebH1619, and shall compass aboutH5437[H8738] to GoathH1601. |
| [40]and al the valei of careyns, and it schal cumpasse aischis, and al the cuntrei of deth, `til to the stronde of Cedron, and til to the corner of the eest yate of horsis; the hooli thing of the Lord schal not be drawun out, and it schal no more be destried with outen ende. |
[40]And the whole valleyH6010 of the dead bodiesH6297, and of the ashesH1880, and all the fieldsH7709[H8675][H8309] unto the brookH5158 of KidronH6939, unto the cornerH6438 of the horseH5483 gateH8179 toward the eastH4217, shall be holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; it shall not be plucked upH5428[H8735], nor thrown downH2040[H8735] any more for everH5769. |
