以賽亞書 29
1 禍哉，阿黎耳，阿黎耳，達味駐紮過的城！任憑一年復一年，任憑節期的循環，
Wo! Ariel, Ariel, the citee which Dauid ouercam; yeer is addid to yeer, solempnytees ben passyd.
2 我必圍困阿黎耳，那裏將發生呻吟和悲嘆。你於我必像一個「阿黎耳。」
And Y schal cumpasse Ariel, and it schal be soreuful and morenynge; and Jerusalem schal be to me as Ariel.
3 我要如達味一樣紮營圍攻你，以保壘包圍你，築起高台攻擊你。
And Y schal cumpasse as a round trendil in thi cumpasse, and Y schal caste erthe ayens thee, and Y schal sette engynes in to thi bisegyng.
4 你將降低，要由地下說話，你微弱的言語出自塵土。你的聲音有如幽魂的聲音出於地下，你的言語低聲地出自塵土。
Thou schalt be maad low, thou schalt speke of erthe, and thi speche schal be herd fro the erthe; and thi vois schal be as the vois of a deed man reisid bi coniuring, and thi speche schal ofte grutche of the erthe.
5 那殘害你的人，將多得有如微細的塵沙；那對你施虐的，將多得有如飛揚的糠屑。但是，忽然，轉瞬之間，
And the multitude of hem that wyndewen thee, schal be as thynne dust; and the multitude of hem that hadden the maistrie ayens thee, schal be as a deed sparcle passynge.
6 萬軍的上主將帶著雷霆、地震、巨響、颶風、暴風如吞噬的火燄來眷顧你。
And it schal be sudenli, anoon it schal be visitid of the Lord of oostis, in thundur, and in mouyng of the erthe, and in greet vois of whirlwynd, and of tempest, and of flawme of fier deuowrynge.
7 那許多攻擊阿黎耳的民族，所有攻擊她並豎起保壘包圍她的人們，都要成為一場夢境，有如夜間的異象。
And the multitude of alle folkis that fouyten ayens Ariel schal be as the dreem of a nyytis visioun; and alle men that fouyten, and bisegiden, and hadden the maistrie ayens it.
8 如同飢者夢中得食，及至醒來，仍然枵腹；又有如渴者夢中飲水，及至醒來，依舊疲憊，心裏仍有所欲：那攻擊熙雍山的各種民族，也將如此。
And as an hungry man dremyth, and etith, but whanne he is awakid, his soule is voide; and as a thirsti man dremeth, and drynkith, and after that he is awakid, he is weri, and thirstith yit, and his soule is voide, so schal be the multitude of alle folkis, that fouyten ayens the hil of Sion.
9 你們都在自我愚弄而愚蠢，你們都在自我蒙蔽而迷矇；你們沉醉，不是出於清酒；你們蹣跚，不是出於烈酒；
Be ye astonyed, and wondre; wake ye, and douyte ye; be ye drunken, and not of wyn; be ye moued, and not with drunkenesse.
10 而是由於上主將沉睡的神注在你們身上，封閉了你們的眼睛【即先知們，】蒙上了你們的頭顱【即先見們。】
For the Lord hath meddlid to you the spirit of sleep; he schal close youre iyen, and schal hile youre profetis, and princes that sien visiouns.
11 所有的異像為你們都像是封住的書中的話；若交給識字的人說：「請讀這書！」他將答說：「我不能，因為這書是封著的；」
And the visioun of alle profetis schal be to you as the wordis of a book aseelid; which whanne thei schulen yyue to hym that kan lettris, thei schulen seie, Rede thou this book; and he schal answere, Y may not, for it is aseelid.
12 若將這書交給一個文盲說：「請讀這書！」他將答說：「我不識字！」
And the book schal be youun to him that kan not lettris, and it schal be seid to hym, Rede thou; and he schal answere, Y kan no lettris.
13 吾主說：「因為這民族祇在口頭上親近我，嘴唇上尊崇我，他們的心卻遠離我，他們對我的敬畏僅是人們所傳習的訓誡。
And the Lord seide, For that this puple neiyeth with her mouth, and glorifieth me with her lippis, but her herte is fer fro me; and thei dredden me for the comaundement and techyngis of men, therfor lo!
14 所以，看哪！我要向這民族再行奇事，最奇妙的事，致使他們智者的智慧必要消失，他們賢者的聰明必要隱遁。人算不如天算。
Y schal adde, that Y make wondryng to this puple, in a greet myracle and wondurful; for whi wisdom schal perische fro wise men therof, and the vndurstondyng of prudent men therof schal be hid.
15 禍哉，逃避上主而力圖掩蔽自己計劃的人！禍哉，那些在暗中行事並說：「有誰看見我們，有誰知道我們的人！」
Wo to you that ben hiye of herte, that ye hide counsel fro the Lord; the werkis of whiche ben in derknessis, and thei seien, Who seeth vs, and who knowith vs?
16 你們多麼顛倒事理！豈能看陶工如泥工﹖製造品豈能論製造者說：「他沒有製造我﹖」陶器豈能論陶工說：「他不精明﹖」
This thouyt of you is weiward, as if cley thenke ayens a pottere, and the werk seie to his makere, Thou madist not me; and a thing `that is maad, seie to his makere, Thou vndurstondist not.
17 誠然，再稍過片刻，黎巴嫩即將變成果園，果園將被視為果林。
Whether not yit in a litil time and schort the Liban schal be turned in to Chermel, and Chermel schal be arettid in to the forest?
18 到那一日，聾者將聽到書上的話，盲人的眼將由幽暗晦暝中得以看見；
And in that dai deef men schulen here the wordis of the book, and the iyen of blynde men schulen se fro derknessis and myisty;
19 弱小的人將在上主內再得歡樂，貧困的人將因以色列的聖者而喜悅，
and mylde men schulen encreesse gladnesse in the Lord, and pore men schulen make ful out ioie in the hooli of Israel.
20 因為暴虐者已經絕跡，輕蔑者已經滅亡，一切思念邪惡的人已經剷除：
For he that hadde the maistrie, failide, and the scornere is endid, and alle thei ben kit doun that walkiden on wickidnesse;
21 就是那些使人在訴訟上失敗，在城門口布置羅網陷害判官，用假理由屈枉義人的人。
whiche maden men to do synne in word, and disseyueden a repreuere in the yate, and bowiden awey in veyn fro a iust man.
22 因此拯救亞巴郎的天主論雅各伯的家這樣說：「雅各伯今後不再慚愧，他的面貌不再失色，
For this thing the Lord, that ayen bouyte Abraham, seith these thingis to the hous of Jacob, Jacob schal not be confoundid now, nether now his cheer schal be aschamed; but whanne he schal se hise sones,
23 因為人們看見了我手在他們中所有的工作，必稱頌我名為聖，必稱頌雅各伯的聖者為聖，必敬畏以色列的天主。
the werkis of myn hondis, halewynge my name in the myddis of hym. And thei schulen halewe the hooli of Jacob, and thei schulen preche God of Israel;
24 心內迷亂的人將要獲得知識，怨尤的人必學得教誨。」
and thei that erren in spirit, schulen knowe vndurstondyng, and idil men schulen lerne the lawe.
