以賽亞書 3
1 看啊！主，萬軍的上主，將奪去耶路撒冷和猶大的支柱和依靠，【各種食糧的供應和水的供應：】
For lo! the lordli gouernour, the Lord of oostis, schal take awei fro Jerusalem and fro Juda a myyti man, and strong, and al the strengthe of breed, and al the strengthe of watir;
2 勇將和戰士，判官和先知，占卜者和長老，
a strong man, and a man a werriour, and a domesman, and a profete, and a false dyuynour in auteris, and an elde man,
3 五十夫長和顯貴，謀士、機警的術士和巧言的咒師。
a prince ouer fifti men, and a worschipful man in cheer, and a counselour, and a wijs man of principal crafti men, and a prudent man of mystik, ethir goostli, speche.
4 他將使青年人作他們的首領，使頑童管治他們；
And Y schal yyue children the princes of hem, and men of wymmens condiciouns schulen be lordis of hem.
5 百姓將互相壓搾，彼此殘害；幼童欺凌老翁，賤者虐待貴人。
And the puple schal falle doun, a man to a man, ech man to his neiybore; a child schal make noyse ayens an eld man, and an vnnoble man ayens a noble man.
6 那時，人要抓著自己家族裏的一個弟兄說：「你還有一件外衣，你可作我們的領袖，這廢墟即屬於你手下。」
For a man schal take his brother, the meneal of his fadir, and schal seie, A clooth is to thee, be thou oure prince; forsothe this fallyng be vndur thin hond.
7 那一日，這人必要大聲回答說：「我不是個醫生，我家裏沒有糧食，也沒有外衣，不要立我作百姓的首領！」
And he schal answere in that dai, and seie, Y am no leche, and nether breed, nether cloth is in myn hous; nyle ye make me prince of the puple.
8 耶路撒冷傾覆了，猶大崩潰了，因為他們的口舌和行為都與上主作對，使他光輝的眼目冒火。
For whi Jerusalem felle doun, and Juda felle doun togidere; for the tunge of hem, and the fyndingis of hem weren ayens the Lord, for to terre to wraththe the iyen of his mageste.
9 他們的厚顏已在指責他們，他們像索多瑪一樣揭示了自己的邪惡，而毫不隱瞞；這些人是有禍的，因為他們為自己招致了災禍。
The knowyng of her cheer schal answere to hem; and thei prechiden her synne, as Sodom dide, and hidden not. Wo to the soule of hem, for whi yuels ben yoldun to hem.
10 你們要說：「義人是有福的，因為他們必享受自己行為的善果。
Seie ye to the iust man, that it schal be to hym wel; for he schal ete the fruyt of hise fyndyngis.
11 禍哉作惡的人！他必遭災禍，因為他手中的作為必回報於他！」
Wo to the wickid man in to yuel; for whi the yeldyng of hise hondis schal be maad to hym.
12 至於我的百姓：孩童要壓搾他們，婦女要管轄他們。我的百姓啊！領導你的，領你走錯了路，混亂了你行徑的路途。
The wrongful axeris of my puple robbiden it, and wymmen weren lordis therof. Mi puple, thei that seien thee blessid, disseyuen thee, and distrien the weie of thi steppis.
13 上主要站起來審判，立著審判他的百姓。
The Lord stondith for to deme, and `the Lord stondith for to deme puplis;
14 上主要開庭審訊他百姓的長老和領袖：「是你們侵吞了我的葡萄園，窩藏了由窮人那裏勒索來的物件；
the Lord schal come to doom, with the eldere men of his puple, and with hise princes; for ye han wastid my vyner, and the raueyn of a pore man is in youre hous.
15 你們為什麼壓搾我的百姓，折磨窮人的臉面﹖」－－吾主，萬軍上主的斷語。
Whi al to-breken ye my puple, and grynden togidere the faces of pore men? seith the Lord God of oostis.
16 上主說：因為熙雍的女子趾高氣揚，走路挺直頸項，媚眼惑人，行路裝腔作勢，腳步鈴鈴作響，
And the Lord God seide, For that that the douytris of Syon weren reisid, and yeden with a necke stretchid forth, and yeden bi signes of iyen, and flappiden with hondis, and yeden, and with her feet yeden in wel araied goyng,
17 吾主必使熙雍女子的頭頂生長毒瘡，上主必揭露她們的恥辱。
the Lord schal make ballyd the nol of the douytris of Sion, and the Lord schal make nakid the heer of hem.
18 那一日，吾主必要剝奪她們的裝飾：踝環、圓環、月牙環、
In that dai the Lord schal take awei the ournement of schoon, and goldun litle bellis lijk the moone,
19 耳環、手鐲和面紗，
and ribans, and brochis, and ournementis of armes nyy the schuldris, and mytris, ether chapelettis,
20 帽巾、腳鍊、領帶、香盒、符籐、
and coombis, and ournementis of armes niy the hondis, and goldun ourenementis lijk laumpreis, and litil vessels of oynementis,
21 戒指、鼻環、
and eere ryngis, and ryngis, and preciouse stoonys hangynge in the forheed,
22 禮服、斗蓬、披肩、手袋、
and chaungynge clothis, and mentils, and schetis, ether smockis, and needlis,
23 面罩、襯衫、頭巾和夏衣。
and myrouris, and smal lynun clothis aboute the schuldris, and kercheues, and roketis.
24 必有腥臭代替馨香，繩索代替腰帶，禿頭代替鬟髻，苦衣代替胸衣，烙印代替美麗。
And stynk shal be for swete odour, and a corde for the girdil; ballidnesse schal be for crispe heer, and an heire for a brest girdil.
25 你的男子要倒於刀下，你的勇士要死於戰場！
Also thi faireste men schulen falle bi swerd, and thi stronge men schulen falle in batel.
26 熙雍的城門將慟哭哀悼，熙雍將悽涼地坐於地上。
And the yatis therof schulen weile, and morene; and it schal sitte desolat in erthe.
