以賽亞書 54
1 不生育的石女，歡樂罷！未經產痛的女子！歡呼高唱罷！因為被棄者的子女比有夫者的子女還多：這是上主說的。
Thou bareyn, that childist not, herie; thou that childist not, synge heriyng, and make ioie; for whi many sones ben of the forsakun `womman more than of hir that hadde hosebonde, seith the Lord.
2 拓展你帳幕的空位，伸展你住所的帷幔，不必顧忌！拉長你的繩索，堅固你的木橛！
Alarge thou the place of thi tente, and stretche forth the skynnes of thi tabernaclis; spare thou not, make longe thi roopis, and make sad thi nailis.
3 因為你要向左右拓展，你的後裔將以外邦之地為業，住滿廢棄了的城邑！
For thou schalt perse to the riytside and to the leftside; and thi seed schal enherite hethene men, and schal dwelle in forsakun citees.
4 不要害怕！因為你再不會蒙羞；不要羞慚！因為你再不會受辱；其實，你要忘記你幼年時所受的恥辱，再不懷念居寡時所受的侮慢，
Nile thou drede, for thou schal not be schent, nether thou schalt be aschamed. For it schal not schame thee; for thou schalt foryete the schenschipe of thi yongthe, and thou schalt no more thenke on the schenschipe of thi widewehod.
5 因為你的夫君是你的造主，他的名字是「萬軍的上主；」你的救主是以色列的聖者，他將稱為「全世界的天主。」
For he that made thee, schal be lord of thee; the Lord of oostis is his name; and thin ayenbiere, the hooli of Israel, schal be clepid God of al erthe.
6 是的，上主召見你時，你是一個被棄而心靈憂傷的婦女；人豈能遺棄他青年時的妻子﹖你的天主說。
For the Lord hath clepid thee as a womman forsakun and morenynge in spirit, and a wijf, `that is cast awei fro yongthe.
7 其實，我離棄了你，只是一會兒，但是我要用絕大的仁慈召你回來。
Thi Lord God seide, At a poynt in litil tyme Y forsook thee, and Y schal gadere thee togidere in greete merciful doyngis.
8 在我的盛怒中，我曾一會兒掩面不看你，可是我要以永遠的慈悲憐憫你，你的救主上主說。
In a moment of indignacioun Y hidde my face a litil fro thee, and in merci euerlastynge Y hadde merci on thee, seide thin ayenbiere, the Lord.
9 這事對我有如諾厄的時日一般：就如那時我曾發誓說：諾厄的大水不再淹沒世界；同樣，我如今起誓：再不向你發怒，再不責斥你。
As in the daies of Noe, this thing is to me, to whom Y swoor, that Y schulde no more bringe watris of the greet flood on the erthe; so Y swoor, that Y be no more wrooth to thee, and that Y blame not thee.
10 高山可移動，丘陵能挪去，但我對你的仁慈決不移去，我的和平盟約總不動搖：憐憫你的上主說。
Forsothe hillis schulen be mouyd togidere, and litle hillis schulen tremble togidere; but my merci schal not go a wei fro thee, and the boond of my pees schal not be mouyd, seide the merciful doere, the Lord.
11 你這遭磨難，受顛沛，無安慰的城啊！看，我要用孔雀石安置你的基石，以碧玉奠定你的根基；
Thou litle and pore, drawun out bi tempest, with outen ony coumfort, lo! Y schal strewe thi stoonys bi ordre, and Y schal founde thee in safiris;
12 我要以紅瑪瑙修你的城垛，以水晶石築你的門戶，以各種寶石建你的圍牆。
and Y schal sette iaspis thi touris, and thi yatis in to grauun stoonys, and alle thin eendis in to desirable stoonys.
13 你所有的兒子，都是上主所訓誨的；你的兒子們，要享受絕大的幸福。
`Y schal make alle thi sones tauyt of the Lord; and the multitude of pees to thi sones,
14 你將建築在正義的根基上；欺壓已遠去，你無需再有所恐懼；驚嚇也遠去了，它再不會臨近你。
and thou schalt be foundid in riytfulnesse. Go thou awei fer fro fals caleng, for thou schalt not drede; and fro drede, for it schal not neiye to thee.
15 請看！如果有人攻擊你，那不是出於我；凡攻打你的，必在你前跌倒。
Lo! a straunger schal come, that was not with me; he, that was sum tyme thi comelyng, schal be ioyned to thee.
16 請看！是我造了吹煤火的鐵匠，由於他工作中造出了各種武器，可是也是我造了毀滅者來加以破壞。
Lo! Y made a smyth blowynge coolis in fier, and bringynge forth a vessel in to his werk; and Y haue maad a sleere, for to leese.
17 所製造的各種武器，為攻打你，一概無用；在訴訟中，凡起來與你爭辯的舌頭，都要被你駁倒。這是上主的僕人應得之分，是他們由我所得的報酬──上主的斷語。
Ech vessel which is maad ayens thee, schal not be dressid; and in the doom thou schalt deme ech tunge ayenstondynge thee. This is the eritage of the seruauntis of the Lord, and the riytfulnesse of hem at me, seith the Lord.
