| [1]The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal reise on Babiloyne, and on the dwelleris therof, that reisiden her herte ayens me, as a wynd of pestilence. |
[1]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Behold, I will raise upH5782[H8688] against BabylonH894, and against them that dwellH3427[H8802] in the midstH3820 of them that rise upH6965[H8801] against me, a destroyingH7843[H8688] windH7307; |
| [2]And Y schal sende in to Babiloyne wyndeweris, and thei schulen wyndewe it, and thei schulen destrie the lond of it; for thei camen on it on ech side, in the dai of the turment therof. |
[2]And will sendH7971[H8765] unto BabylonH894 fannersH2114[H8801], that shall fanH2219[H8765] her, and shall emptyH1238[H8787] her landH776: for in the dayH3117 of troubleH7451 they shall be against her round aboutH5439. |
| [3]He that beendith his bowe, beende not, and a man clothid in haburioun, stie not; nyle ye spare the yonge men therof, sle ye al the chyualrie therof. |
[3]Against him that bendethH1869 let the archerH1869[H8802] bendH1869[H8799] his bowH7198, and against him that lifteth himself upH5927[H8691] in his brigandineH5630: and spareH2550[H8799] ye not her young menH970; destroy ye utterlyH2763[H8685] all her hostH6635. |
| [4]And slayn men schulen falle in the lond of Caldeis, and woundid men in the cuntreis therof. |
[4]Thus the slainH2491 shall fallH5307[H8804] in the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778, and they that are thrust throughH1856[H8794] in her streetsH2351. |
| [5]For whi Israel and Juda was not maad widewe fro her God, the Lord of oostis; but the lond of hem was fillid with trespas of the hooli of Israel. |
[5]For IsraelH3478 hath not been forsakenH488, nor JudahH3063 of his GodH430, of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; though their landH776 was filledH4390[H8804] with sinH817 against the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. |
| [6]Fle ye fro the myddis of Babiloyne, that ech man saue his soule; nyle ye be stille on the wickidnesse therof, for whi tyme of veniaunce therof is to the Lord; he schal yelde while to it. |
[6]Flee outH5127[H8798] of the midstH8432 of BabylonH894, and deliverH4422[H8761] every manH376 his soulH5315: be not cut offH1826[H8735] in her iniquityH5771; for this is the timeH6256 of the LORD'SH3068 vengeanceH5360; he will renderH7999[H8764] unto her a recompenceH1576. |
| [7]Babiloyne is a goldun cuppe in the hond of the Lord, and fillith al erthe; hethene men drunken of the wyn therof, and therfor thei ben mouyd. |
[7]BabylonH894 hath been a goldenH2091 cupH3563 in the LORD'SH3068 handH3027, that made all the earthH776 drunkenH7937[H8764]: the nationsH1471 have drunkenH8354[H8804] of her wineH3196; therefore the nationsH1471 are madH1984.[H8704] |
| [8]Babiloyne felle doun sudenli, and is al to-brokun; yelle ye on it, take ye recyn to the sorewe therof, if perauenture it be heelid. |
[8]BabylonH894 is suddenlyH6597 fallenH5307[H8804] and destroyedH7665[H8735]: howlH3213[H8685] for her; takeH3947[H8798] balmH6875 for her painH4341, if so be she may be healedH7495.[H8735] |
| [9]We heeliden Babiloyne, and it is not maad hool; forsake we it and go we ech in to his lond; for the doom therof cam `til to heuenes, and is reisid `til to cloudis. |
[9]We would have healedH7495[H8765] BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495[H8738]: forsakeH5800[H8798] her, and let us goH3212[H8799] every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060[H8804] unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375[H8738] even to the skiesH7834. |
| [10]The Lord hath brouyt forth oure riytfulnessis; come ye, and telle we in Sion the werk of oure Lord God. |
[10]The LORDH3068 hath brought forthH3318[H8689] our righteousnessH6666: comeH935[H8798], and let us declareH5608[H8762] in ZionH6726 the workH4639 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430. |
| [11]Scharpe ye arowis, fille ye arowe caasis; the Lord reiside the spirit of the kyngis of Medeis, and his mynde is ayen Babiloyne, that he leese it, for it is the veniaunce of the Lord, the veniaunce of his temple. The kyng of Medeis is reisid of the Lord ayens Babiloyne. |
[11]Make brightH1305[H8685] the arrowsH2671; gatherH4390[H8798] the shieldsH7982: the LORDH3068 hath raised upH5782[H8689] the spiritH7307 of the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074: for his deviceH4209 is against BabylonH894, to destroyH7843[H8687] it; because it is the vengeanceH5360 of the LORDH3068, the vengeanceH5360 of his templeH1964. |
| [12]Reise ye a signe on the wallis of Babiloyne, encreesse ye kepyng, reise ye keperis, make ye redi buyschementis; for the Lord thouyte, and dide, what euer thing he spak ayens the dwelleris of Babiloyne. |
[12]Set upH5375[H8798] the standardH5251 upon the wallsH2346 of BabylonH894, make the watchH4929 strongH2388[H8685], set upH6965[H8685] the watchmenH8104[H8802], prepareH3559[H8685] the ambushesH693[H8802]: for the LORDH3068 hath both devisedH2161[H8804] and doneH6213[H8804] that which he spakeH1696[H8765] against the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of BabylonH894. |
| [13]A! thou Babiloyne, that dwellist on many watris, riche in thi tresours, thin ende cometh, the foote mesure of thi kittyng doun. |
[13]O thou that dwellestH7931[H8802][H8675][H7931][H8804] upon manyH7227 watersH4325, abundantH7227 in treasuresH214, thine endH7093 is comeH935[H8802], and the measureH520 of thy covetousnessH1215. |
| [14]The Lord of oostis swoor bi his soule, that Y schal fille thee with men, as with bruke, and a myry song schal be sungun on thee. |
[14]The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath swornH7650[H8738] by himselfH5315, saying, Surely I will fillH4390[H8765] thee with menH120, as with caterpillersH3218; and they shall lift upH6030[H8804] a shout against theeH1959. |
| [15]The Lord swoor, which made erthe bi his strengthe, made redy the world bi his wisdom, and stretchide forth heuenes bi his prudence. |
[15]He hath madeH6213[H8802] the earthH776 by his powerH3581, he hath establishedH3559[H8688] the worldH8398 by his wisdomH2451, and hath stretched outH5186[H8804] the heavenH8064 by his understandingH8394. |
| [16]Whanne he yyueth vois, watris ben multiplied in heuene; which Lord reisith cloudis fro the laste of erthe, made leitis in to reyn, and brouyt forth wynd of hise tresouris. |
[16]When he utterethH5414[H8800] his voiceH6963, there is a multitudeH1995 of watersH4325 in the heavensH8064; and he causeth the vapoursH5387 to ascendH5927[H8686] from the endsH7097 of the earthH776: he makethH6213[H8804] lightningsH1300 with rainH4306, and bringeth forthH3318[H8686] the windH7307 out of his treasuresH214. |
| [17]Ech man is maad a fool of kunnyng, ech wellere togidere is schent in a grauun ymage; for his wellyng togidere is fals, and a spirit is not in tho. |
[17]Every manH120 is brutishH1197[H8738] by his knowledgeH1847; every founderH6884[H8802] is confoundedH3001[H8689] by the graven imageH6459: for his molten imageH5262 is falsehoodH8267, and there is no breath in themH7307. |
| [18]The werkis ben veyn, and worthi of scorn; tho schulen perische in the tyme of her visityng. |
[18]They are vanityH1892, the workH4639 of errorsH8595: in the timeH6256 of their visitationH6486 they shall perishH6.[H8799] |
| [19]The part of Jacob is not as these thingis; for he that made alle thingis is the part of Jacob, and Israel is the septre of his eritage; the Lord of oostis is his name. |
[19]The portionH2506 of JacobH3290 is not like them; for he is the formerH3335[H8802] of all things: and Israel is the rodH7626 of his inheritanceH5159: the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 is his nameH8034. |
| [20]Thou hurtlist doun to me the instrumentis of batel, and Y schal hurtle doun folkis in thee, and Y schal leese rewmes in thee; |
[20]Thou art my battle axeH4661 and weaponsH3627 of warH4421: for with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] the nationsH1471, and with thee will I destroyH7843[H8689] kingdomsH4467; |
| [21]and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an hors, and the ridere therof; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a chare, and the stiere therof; |
[21]And with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] the horseH5483 and his riderH7392[H8802]; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] the chariotH7393 H7392and his riderH8802 |
| [22]and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a man and womman; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an elde man and a child; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a yong man and a virgyn; |
[22]With thee also will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] manH376 and womanH802; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] oldH2205 and youngH5288; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] the young manH970 and the maidH1330; |
| [23]and Y schal hurtle doun in thee a scheepherde and his floc; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee an erthetiliere and his yok beestis; and Y schal hurtle doun in thee duykis and magistratis. |
[23]I will also break in piecesH5310[H8765] with thee the shepherdH7462[H8802] and his flockH5739; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] the husbandmanH406 and his yoke of oxenH6776; and with thee will I break in piecesH5310[H8765] captainsH6346 and rulersH5461. |
| [24]And Y schal yelde, seith the Lord, to Babiloyne, and to alle the dwelleris of Caldee, al her yuel, which thei diden in Sion, bifore youre iyen. |
[24]And I will renderH7999[H8765] unto BabylonH894 and to all the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of ChaldeaH3778 all their evilH7451 that they have doneH6213[H8804] in ZionH6726 in your sightH5869, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [25]Lo! Y, seith the Lord, to thee, thou hil berynge pestilence, which corrumpist al erthe. Y schal stretche forth myn hond on thee, and Y schal vnwlappe thee fro stoonys, and Y schal yyue thee in to an hil of brennyng. |
[25]Behold, I am against thee, O destroyingH4889 mountainH2022, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, which destroyestH7843[H8688] all the earthH776: and I will stretch outH5186[H8804] mine handH3027 upon thee, and roll thee downH1556[H8773] from the rocksH5553, and will makeH5414[H8804] thee a burntH8316 mountainH2022. |
| [26]And Y schal not take of thee a stoon in to a corner, and a stoon in to foundementis; but thou schalt be lost with outen ende, seith the Lord. |
[26]And they shall not takeH3947[H8799] of thee a stoneH68 for a cornerH6438, nor a stoneH68 for foundationsH4146; but thou shalt be desolateH8077 for everH5769, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [27]Reise ye a signe in the lond, sowne ye with a clarioun in hillis; halewe ye folkis on it, telle ye to the kyngis of Ararath, of Menny, and of Ascheneth ayens it; noumbre ye Tapser ayens it, and bringe ye an hors, as a bruke hauynge a pricke. |
[27]Set ye upH5375[H8798] a standardH5251 in the landH776, blowH8628[H8798] the trumpetH7782 among the nationsH1471, prepareH6942[H8761] the nationsH1471 against her, call togetherH8085[H8685] against her the kingdomsH4467 of AraratH780, MinniH4508, and AshchenazH813; appointH6485[H8798] a captainH2951 against her; cause the horsesH5483 to come upH5927[H8685] as the roughH5569 caterpillersH3218. |
| [28]Halowe ye folkis ayens it, the kyngis of Medey, the duykis therof, and alle magistratis therof, and al the lond of his power. |
[28]PrepareH6942[H8761] against her the nationsH1471 with the kingsH4428 of the MedesH4074, the captainsH6346 thereof, and all the rulersH5461 thereof, and all the landH776 of his dominionH4475. |
| [29]And the erthe schal be mouyd, and schal be disturblid; for the thouyt of the Lord schal fulli wake ayens Babiloyne, that he sette the lond of Babiloyne desert, and vnhabitable. |
[29]And the landH776 shall trembleH7493[H8799] and sorrowH2342[H8799]: for every purposeH4284 of the LORDH3068 shall be performedH6965[H8804] against BabylonH894, to makeH7760[H8800] the landH776 of BabylonH894 a desolationH8047 without an inhabitantH3427.[H8802] |
| [30]The stronge men of Babiloyne ceessiden of batel, thei dwelliden in stronge holdis; the strengthe of hem is deuourid, and thei ben maad as wymmen; the tabernaclis therof ben brent, the barris therof ben al to-brokun. |
[30]The mighty menH1368 of BabylonH894 have forbornH2308[H8804] to fightH3898[H8736], they have remainedH3427[H8804] in their holdsH4679: their mightH1369 hath failedH5405[H8804]; they became as womenH802: they have burnedH3341[H8689] her dwellingplacesH4908; her barsH1280 are brokenH7665.[H8738] |
| [31]A rennere schal come ayens a rennere, and a messanger ayens a messanger, to telle to the kyng of Babiloyne, that his citee is takun fro the toon ende `til to the tother ende; |
[31]One postH7323[H8801] shall runH7323[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] anotherH7323[H8801], and one messengerH5046[H8688] to meetH7125[H8800] anotherH5046[H8688], to shewH5046[H8687] the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 that his cityH5892 is takenH3920[H8738] at one endH7097, |
| [32]and the forthis ben bifore ocupied, and the mareisis ben brent with fier, and the men werryours ben disturblid. |
[32]And that the passagesH4569 are stoppedH8610[H8738], and the reedsH98 they have burnedH8313[H8804] with fireH784, and the menH582 of warH4421 are affrightedH926.[H8738] |
| [33]For the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, The douyter of Babiloyne is as a corn floor, the tyme of threischyng therof; yit a litil, and the tyme of repyng therof schal come. |
[33]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478; The daughterH1323 of BabylonH894 is like a threshingfloorH1637, it is timeH6256 to threshH1869[H8687] her: yet a little whileH4592, and the timeH6256 of her harvestH7105 shall comeH935.[H8804] |
| [34]Nabugodonosor, the kyng of Babiloyne, eet me, and deuouride me; he made me as a voide vessel, he as a dragoun swolewide me; he fillide his wombe with my tendirnesse, and he castide me out. |
[34]NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398[H8804] me, he hath crushedH2000[H8804] me, he hath madeH3322[H8689] me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104[H8804] like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390[H8765] his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.[H8689] |
| [35]Wickidnesse ayens me, and my fleisch on Babiloyne, seith the dwellyng of Sion; and my blood on the dwelleris of Caldee, seith Jerusalem. |
[35]The violenceH2555 done to me and to my fleshH7607 be upon BabylonH894, shall the inhabitantH3427[H8802] of ZionH6726 sayH559[H8799]; and my bloodH1818 upon the inhabitantsH3427[H8802] of ChaldeaH3778, shall JerusalemH3389 sayH559.[H8799] |
| [36]Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal deme thi cause, and Y schal venge thi veniaunce; and Y schal make the see therof forsakun, and Y schal make drie the veyne therof. |
[36]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Behold, I will pleadH7378[H8801] thy causeH7379, and take vengeanceH5358[H8765] for theeH5360; and I will dry upH2717[H8689] her seaH3220, and make her springsH4726 dryH3001.[H8689] |
| [37]And Babiloyne schal be in to biriels, it schal be the dwellyng of dragouns, wondryng and hissyng, for that no dwellere is. |
[37]And BabylonH894 shall become heapsH1530, a dwellingplaceH4583 for dragonsH8577, an astonishmentH8047, and an hissingH8322, without an inhabitantH3427.[H8802] |
| [38]Thei schulen rore togidere as liouns, and thei schulen schake lockis, as the whelpis of liouns. |
[38]They shall roarH7580[H8799] togetherH3162 like lionsH3715: they shall yellH5286[H8804] as lions'H738 whelpsH1484. |
| [39]In the heete of hem Y schal sette the drynkis of hem; and Y schal make hem drunkun, that thei be brouyt asleepe, and that thei slepe euerlastynge sleep, and rise not, seith the Lord. |
[39]In their heatH2527 I will makeH7896[H8799] their feastsH4960, and I will make them drunkenH7937[H8689], that they may rejoiceH5937[H8799], and sleepH3462[H8804] a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974[H8686], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [40]Y schal lede forth hem, as lambren to slayn sacrifice, and as wetheris with kidis. Hou is Sesac takun, and the noble citee of al erthe is takun? |
[40]I will bring them downH3381[H8686] like lambsH3733 to the slaughterH2873[H8800], like ramsH352 with he goatsH6260. |
| [41]Hou is Babiloyne made in to wondre among hethene men? |
[41]How is SheshachH8347 takenH3920[H8738]! and how is the praiseH8416 of the whole earthH776 surprisedH8610[H8735]! how is BabylonH894 become an astonishmentH8047 among the nationsH1471! |
| [42]And the see stiede on Babiloyne, it was hilid with the multitude of hise wawis. |
[42]The seaH3220 is come upH5927[H8804] upon BabylonH894: she is coveredH3680[H8738] with the multitudeH1995 of the waves thereofH1530. |
| [43]The citees therof ben maad in to wondryng, the lond is maad vnhabitable and forsakun; the lond wherynne no man dwellith, and the sone of man schal not passe bi it. |
[43]Her citiesH5892 are a desolationH8047, a dryH6723 landH776, and a wildernessH6160, a landH776 wherein no manH376 dwellethH3427[H8799], neither doth any sonH1121 of manH120 passH5674[H8799] therebyH2004. |
| [44]And Y schal visite on Bel in to Babiloyne, and Y schal caste out of hise mouth that, that he hadde swolewid, and folkis schulen no more flowe to it; for also the wal of Babiloyne schal falle doun. |
[44]And I will punishH6485[H8804] BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bring forthH3318[H8689] out of his mouthH6310 that which he hath swallowed upH1105: and the nationsH1471 shall not flow togetherH5102[H8799] any more unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fallH5307.[H8804] |
| [45]Mi puple, go ye out fro the myddis therof, that ech man saue his soule fro the wraththe of the strong veniaunce of the Lord; |
[45]My peopleH5971, go ye outH3318[H8798] of the midstH8432 of her, and deliverH4422[H8761] ye every manH376 his soulH5315 from the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068. |
| [46]and lest perauenture youre herte wexe neische, and lest ye dreden the heryng, that schal be herd in the lond; and heryng schal come in a yeer, and aftir this yeer schal come heryng and wickidnesse in the lond, and a lord on a lord. |
[46]And lest your heartH3824 faintH7401[H8735], and ye fearH3372[H8799] for the rumourH8052 that shall be heardH8085[H8737] in the landH776; a rumourH8052 shall both comeH935[H8804] one yearH8141, and afterH310 that in another yearH8141 shall come a rumourH8052, and violenceH2555 in the landH776, rulerH4910[H8802] against rulerH4910.[H8802] |
| [47]Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on the grauun ymagis of Babiloyne; and al the lond therof schal be schent, and alle slayn men therof schulen falle doun in the myddis therof. |
[47]Therefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], that I will do judgmentH6485[H8804] upon the graven imagesH6456 of BabylonH894: and her whole landH776 shall be confoundedH954[H8799], and all her slainH2491 shall fallH5307[H8799] in the midst of herH8432. |
| [48]And heuenes, and erthis, and alle thingis that ben in tho, schulen herie on Babiloyne; for rauynours schulen come fro the north to it, seith the Lord. |
[48]Then the heavenH8064 and the earthH776, and all that is therein, shall singH7442[H8765] for BabylonH894: for the spoilersH7703[H8802] shall comeH935[H8799] unto her from the northH6828, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [49]And as Babiloyne dide, that slayn men felle doun in Israel, so of Babiloyne slayn men schulen falle doun and in al the lond. |
[49]AsH1571 BabylonH894 hath caused the slainH2491 of IsraelH3478 to fallH5307[H8800], so at BabylonH894 shall fallH5307[H8804] the slainH2491 of all the earthH776. |
| [50]Come ye, that fledden the swerd, nyle ye stonde; haue ye mynde afer on the Lord, and Jerusalem stie on youre herte. |
[50]Ye that have escapedH6405 the swordH2719, go awayH1980[H8798], stand not stillH5975[H8799]: rememberH2142[H8798] the LORDH3068 afar offH7350, and let JerusalemH3389 comeH5927[H8799] into your mindH3824. |
| [51]We ben schent, for we herden schenschipe; schame hilide oure faces, for aliens comen on the halewyng of the hous of the Lord. |
[51]We are confoundedH954[H8804], because we have heardH8085[H8804] reproachH2781: shameH3639 hath coveredH3680[H8765] our facesH6440: for strangersH2114[H8801] are comeH935[H8804] into the sanctuariesH4720 of the LORD'SH3068 houseH1004. |
| [52]Therfor lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on the grauun ymagis of Babiloyne, and in al the lond therof a woundid man schal loowe. |
[52]Wherefore, behold, the daysH3117 comeH935[H8802], saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068, that I will do judgmentH6485[H8804] upon her graven imagesH6456: and through all her landH776 the woundedH2491 shall groanH602.[H8799] |
| [53]If Babiloyne stieth in to heuene, and makith stidfast his strengthe an hiy, distrieris therof schulen come on me, seith the Lord. |
[53]Though BabylonH894 should mount upH5927[H8799] to heavenH8064, and though she should fortifyH1219[H8762] the heightH4791 of her strengthH5797, yetH227 from me shall spoilersH7703[H8802] comeH935[H8799] unto her, saithH5002[H8803] the LORDH3068. |
| [54]The vois of a criere of Babiloyne, and greet sorewe of the lond of Caldeis, |
[54]A soundH6963 of a cryH2201 cometh from BabylonH894, and greatH1419 destructionH7667 from the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778: |
| [55]for the Lord distriede Babiloyne, and lost of it a greet vois; and the wawis of hem schulen sowne as many watris. The vois of hem yaf sown, |
[55]Because the LORDH3068 hath spoiledH7703[H8802] BabylonH894, and destroyedH6[H8765] out of her the greatH1419 voiceH6963; when her wavesH1530 do roarH1993[H8804] like greatH7227 watersH4325, a noiseH7588 of their voiceH6963 is utteredH5414:[H8738] |
| [56]for a rauenour cam on it, that is, on Babiloyne; and the stronge men therof ben takun, and the bouwe of hem welewide, for the stronge vengere the Lord yeldynge schal yelde. |
[56]Because the spoilerH7703[H8802] is comeH935[H8804] upon her, even upon BabylonH894, and her mighty menH1368 are takenH3920[H8738], every one of their bowsH7198 is brokenH2865[H8765]: for the LORDH3068 GodH410 of recompencesH1578 shall surelyH7999[H8763] requiteH7999.[H8762] |
| [57]And Y schal make drunkun the princis therof, and the wise men therof, the duykis therof, and the magistratis therof, and the stronge men therof; and thei schulen slepe euerlastynge sleep, and thei schulen not be awakid, seith the kyng, the Lord of oostis is name of hym. |
[57]And I will make drunkH7937[H8689] her princesH8269, and her wiseH2450 men, her captainsH6346, and her rulersH5461, and her mighty menH1368: and they shall sleepH3462[H8804] a perpetualH5769 sleepH8142, and not wakeH6974[H8686], saithH5002[H8803] the KingH4428, whose nameH8034 is the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. |
| [58]The Lord God of oostis seith these thingis, Thilke brodeste wal of Babiloyne schal be mynyd with mynyng, and the hiye yatis therof schulen be brent with fier; and the trauels of puples schulen be to nouyt, and the trauels of hethene men schulen be in to fier, and schulen perische. |
[58]Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The broadH7342 wallsH2346 of BabylonH894 shall be utterlyH6209[H8771] brokenH6209[H8698], and her highH1364 gatesH8179 shall be burnedH3341[H8799] with fireH784; and the peopleH5971 shall labourH3021[H8799] in vainH7385, and the folkH3816 inH1767 the fireH784, and they shall be wearyH3286.[H8804] |
| [59]The word which Jeremye, the profete, comaundide to Saraie, sone of Nerie, sone of Maasie, whanne he yede with Sedechie, the kyng, in to Babiloyne, in the fourthe yeer of his rewme; forsothe Saraie was prynce of profesie. |
[59]The wordH1697 which JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030 commandedH6680[H8765] SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of NeriahH5374, the sonH1121 of MaaseiahH4271, when he wentH3212[H8800] with ZedekiahH6667 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063 into BabylonH894 in the fourthH7243 yearH8141 of his reignH4427[H8800]. And this SeraiahH8304 was a quietH4496 princeH8269. |
| [60]And Jeremye wroot al the yuel, that was to comynge on Babiloyne, in a book, alle these wordis that weren writun ayens Babiloyne. |
[60]So JeremiahH3414 wroteH3789[H8799] in aH259 bookH5612 all the evilH7451 that should comeH935[H8799] upon BabylonH894, even all these wordsH1697 that are writtenH3789[H8803] against BabylonH894. |
| [61]And Jeremye seide to Saraie, Whanne thou comest in to Babiloyne, and seest, and redist alle these wordis, |
[61]And JeremiahH3414 saidH559[H8799] to SeraiahH8304, When thou comestH935[H8800] to BabylonH894, and shalt seeH7200[H8804], and shalt readH7121[H8804] all these wordsH1697; |
| [62]thou schalt seie, Lord, thou spakist ayens this place, that thou schuldist leese it, that noon be that dwelle therynne, fro man `til to beeste, and that it be an euerlastynge wildirnesse. |
[62]Then shalt thou sayH559[H8804], O LORDH3068, thou hast spokenH1696[H8765] against this placeH4725, to cut it offH3772[H8687], that none shall remainH3427[H8802] in it, neither manH120 nor beastH929, but that it shall be desolateH8077 for everH5769. |
| [63]And whanne thou hast fillid to rede this book, thou schalt bynde to it a stoon, and thou schalt caste it forth in to the myddis of Eufrates; and thou schalt seie, |
[63]And it shall be, when thou hast made an endH3615[H8763] of readingH7121[H8800] this bookH5612, that thou shalt bindH7194[H8799] a stoneH68 to it, and castH7993[H8689] it into the midstH8432 of EuphratesH6578: |
| [64]So Babiloyne schal be drenchid, and it schal not rise fro the face of turment, which Y brynge on it, and it schal be distried. Hidurto ben the wordis of Jeremye. |
[64]And thou shalt sayH559[H8804], Thus shall BabylonH894 sinkH8257[H8799], and shall not riseH6965[H8799] fromH6440 the evilH7451 that I will bringH935[H8688] upon her: and they shall be wearyH3286[H8804]. Thus far are the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414. |
