以賽亞書 59
1 耶和華的膀臂並非縮短，不能拯救， 耳朵並非發沉，不能聽見，
Lo! the hoond of the Lord is not abreggid, that he mai not saue, nether his eere is maad hard, that he here not;
2 但你們的罪孽使你們與上帝隔絕； 你們的罪惡使他掩面不聽你們。
but youre wickidnessis han departid bitwixe you and youre God, and youre synnes han hid his face fro you, that he schulde not here.
3 因你們的手被血沾染， 你們的指頭被罪孽沾污， 你們的嘴唇說謊言， 你們的舌頭出惡語。
For whi youre hondis ben defoulid with blood, and youre fyngris with wickidnesse; youre lippis spaken leesyng, and youre tunge spekith wickidnesse.
4 無一人按公義告狀， 無一人憑誠實辯白； 都倚靠虛妄，說謊言。 所懷的是毒害； 所生的是罪孽。
Noon is, that clepith riytfulnesse to help, and noon is, that demeth verili; but thei tristen in nouyt, and speken vanytees; thei conseyueden trauel, and childiden wickidnesse.
5 他們菢毒蛇蛋， 結蜘蛛網； 人吃這蛋必死。 這蛋被踏，必出蝮蛇。
Thei han broke eiren of snakis, and maden webbis of an yreyn; he that etith of the eiren of hem, schal die, and that that is nurschid, ether brouyt forth, schal breke out in to a cocatrice.
6 所結的網不能成為衣服； 所做的也不能遮蓋自己。 他們的行為都是罪孽； 手所做的都是強暴。
The webbis of hem schulen not be in to cloth, nethir thei schulen be hilid with her werkis; the werkis of hem ben vnprofitable werkis, and the werk of wickidnesse is in the hondis of hem.
7 他們的腳奔跑行惡； 他們急速流無辜人的血； 意念都是罪孽， 所經過的路都荒涼毀滅。
The feet of hem rennen to yuel, and haasten to schede out innocent blood; the thouytis of hem ben vnprofitable thouytis; distriyng and defouling ben in the weies of hem.
8 平安的路，他們不知道； 所行的事沒有公平。 他們為自己修彎曲的路； 凡行此路的都不知道平安。
Thei knewen not the weie of pees, and doom is not in the goyngis of hem; the pathis of hem ben bowid to hem; ech that tredith in tho, knowith not pees.
9 因此，公平離我們遠， 公義追不上我們。 我們指望光亮，卻是黑暗， 指望光明，卻行幽暗。
Therfor doom is made fer fro vs, and riytfulnesse schal not take vs; we abididen liyt, and lo! derknessis ben; we abididen schynyng, and we yeden in derknessis.
10 我們摸索牆壁，好像瞎子； 我們摸索，如同無目之人。 我們晌午絆腳，如在黃昏一樣； 我們在肥壯人中，像死人一般。
We gropiden as blynde men the wal, and we as with outen iyen touchiden; we stumbliden in myddai, as in derknessis, in derk places, as deed men.
11 我們咆哮如熊， 哀鳴如鴿； 指望公平，卻是沒有； 指望救恩，卻遠離我們。
Alle we schulen rore as beeris, and we schulen weile thenkynge as culueris; we abididen doom, and noon is; we abididen helthe, and it is maad fer fro vs.
12 我們的過犯在你面前增多， 罪惡作見證告我們； 過犯與我們同在。 至於我們的罪孽，我們都知道：
For whi oure wickidnessis ben multiplied bifore thee, and oure synnes answeriden to vs; for our grete trespassis ben with vs, and we knewen oure wickidnessis,
13 就是悖逆、不認識耶和華， 轉去不跟從我們的上帝， 說欺壓和叛逆的話， 心懷謊言，隨即說出。
to do synne, and to lie ayens the Lord. And we ben turned awei, that we yeden not aftir the bak of oure God, that we speken fals caleng, and trespassyng. We conseyueden, and spaken of herte wordis of leesyng; and doom was turned abak,
14 並且公平轉而退後， 公義站在遠處； 誠實在街上仆倒， 正直也不得進入。
and riytfulnesse stood fer; for whi treuthe felle doun in the street, and equite miyt not entre.
15 誠實少見； 離惡的人反成掠物。 那時，耶和華看見沒有公平， 甚不喜悅。
And treuthe was maad in to foryetyng, and he that yede awei fro yuel, was opyn to robbyng. And the Lord siy, and it apperide yuel in hise iyen, for ther is no doom.
16 他見無人拯救， 無人代求，甚為詫異， 就用自己的膀臂施行拯救， 以公義扶持自己。
And God siy, that a man is not, and he was angwischid, for noon is that renneth to. And his arm schal saue to hym silf, and his riytfulnesse it silf schal conferme hym.
17 他以公義為鎧甲， 以拯救為頭盔， 以報仇為衣服， 以熱心為外袍。
He is clothid with riytfulnesse as with an harburioun, and the helm of helthe is in his heed; he is clothid with clothis of veniaunce, and he is hilid as with a mentil of feruent worchyng.
18 他必按人的行為施報， 惱怒他的敵人， 報復他的仇敵， 向眾海島施行報應。
As to veniaunce, as to yeldyng of indignacioun to hise enemyes, and to quityng of tyme to hise aduersaries, he schal yelde while to ylis.
19 如此，人從日落之處必敬畏耶和華的名， 從日出之地也必敬畏他的榮耀； 因為仇敵好像急流的河水沖來， 是耶和華之氣所驅逐的。
And thei that ben at the west, schulen drede the name of the Lord, and thei that ben at the risyng of the sunne, schulen drede the glorie of hym; whanne he schal come as a violent flood, whom the spirit of the Lord compellith.
20 必有一位救贖主來到錫安－ 雅各族中轉離過犯的人那裏。 這是耶和華說的。
Whan ayen biere schal come to Syon, and to hem that goen ayen fro wickidnesse in Jacob, seith the Lord.
21 耶和華說：「至於我與他們所立的約乃是這樣：我加給你的靈，傳給你的話，必不離你的口，也不離你後裔與你後裔之後裔的口，從今直到永遠；這是耶和華說的。」
This is my boond of pees with hem, seith the Lord; My spirit which is in thee, and my wordis whiche Y haue set in thi mouth, schulen not go awei fro thi mouth, and fro the mouth of thi seed, seith the Lord, fro hennus forth and til into with outen ende.
