Isaiah 45
1 Thus he says Yahweh to anointed his to Cyrus whom I have taken hold on right [hand] his to subdue before him nations and [the] loins of kings I will loosen to open before him doors and gates not they will be shut.
The Lord seith these thingis to my crist, Cirus, whos riythond Y took, that Y make suget folkis bifor his face, and turne the backis of kyngis; and Y schal opene yatis bifore hym, and yatis schulen not be closid.
2 I before you I will go and [the] mountainous land (I will make smooth *Q(K)*) doors of bronze I will break and bars of iron I will cut through.
Y schal go bifore thee, and Y schal make lowe the gloriouse men of erthe; Y schal al to-breke brasun yatis, and Y schal breke togidere irun barris.
3 And I will give to you treasures of darkness and hidden treasures of secret places so that you may know that I [am] Yahweh who calls by name your [the] God of Israel.
And Y schal yyue hid tresours to thee, and the priuy thingis of priuytees, that thou wite, that Y am the Lord, that clepe thi name, God of Israel,
4 For [the] sake of servant my Jacob and Israel chosen one my and I summoned you by name your I will give a title you and not you know me.
for my seruaunt Jacob, and Israel my chosun, and Y clepide thee bi thi name; Y licnyde thee, and thou knewist not me.
5 I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet besides me there not [is] a god I will gird you and not you know me.
Y am the Lord, and ther is no more; with out me is no God. Y haue gird thee, and thou knewist not me.
6 So that they may know from [the] rising of [the] sun (and from setting place its *LAH(b)*) that nothing [is] apart from me I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
That thei that ben at the risyng of the sunne, and thei that ben at the west, know, that with out me is no God.
7 [who] forms Light and [who] creates darkness [who] brings about well-being and [who] creates calamity I [am] Yahweh [who] does all these [things].
Y am the Lord, and noon other God is; fourmynge liyt, and makynge derknessis, makynge pees, and fourmynge yuel; Y am the Lord, doynge alle these thingis.
8 Drip down O heaven above and clouds let them flow righteousness let it open up [the] earth so they may bear fruit salvation and righteousness let it cause to sprout together I Yahweh I have created it.
Heuenes, sende ye out deew fro aboue, and cloudis, reyne a iust man; the erthe be openyde, and brynge forth the sauyour, and riytfulnesse be borun togidere; Y the Lord haue maad hym of nouyt.
9 Woe to! [one who] contends with [the one who] formed him a potsherd with potsherds of [the] ground ¿ does it say clay to [the one who] forms it what? are you making and work your not hands [belong] to him.
Wo to hym that ayen seith his maker, a tiel stoon of erthe of Sannys. Whether clei seith to his pottere, What makist thou, and thi werk is withouten hondis?
10 Woe to! [one who] says to a father what? are you fathering and to a woman what? are you in labor with!
Wo to hym that seith to the fadir, What gendrist thou? and to a womman, What childist thou?
11 Thus he says Yahweh [the] holy [one] of Israel and [the] [one who] formed it the coming [things] ask me on children my and on [the] work of hands my you command me.
The Lord, the hooli of Israel, the fourmere therof, seith these thingis, Axe ye me thingis to comynge on my sones, and sende ye to me on the werkis of myn hondis.
12 I I made [the] earth and humankind on it I created I hands my they stretched out [the] heavens and all host their I commanded.
Y made erthe, and Y made a man on it; myn hondis helden abrood heuenes, and Y comaundide to al the knyythod of tho.
13 I I have stirred up him in righteousness and all ways his I will make smooth he he will build city my and exile[s] my he will let go not for hire and not for a bribe he says Yahweh of hosts.
Y reiside hym to riytfulnesse, and Y schal dresse alle hise weies; he schal bilde my citee, and he schal delyuere my prisoneris, not in prijs, nether in yiftis, seith the Lord of oostis.
14 Thus - he says Yahweh [the] produce of Egypt and [the] traffic of Cush and [the] Sabeans people of stature to you they will pass over and to you they will belong behind you they will walk in fetters they will pass over and to you they will bow down to you they will pray surely [is] among you God and there not [is] yet there not [are] gods.
The Lord God seith these thingis, The trauel of Egipt, and the marchaundie of Ethiopie, and of Sabaym; hiy men schulen go to thee, and schulen be thine; thei schulen go aftir thee, thei schulen go boundun in manyclis, and schulen worschipe thee, and schulen biseche thee. God is oneli in thee, and with out thee is no God.
15 Truly you [are] a God [who] hides himself O God of Israel deliverer.
Verili thou art God hid, God, the sauyour of Israel.
16 They will be ashamed and also they will be put to shame all of them alike they will walk in ignominy craftsmen of images.
Alle makeris of errours ben schent, and weren aschamed; thei yeden togidere in to confusioun.
17 Israel it has been saved by Yahweh a salvation of everlastingness not you will be ashamed and not you will be put to shame until everlastingness of perpetuity.
Israel is sauyde in the Lord, bi euerlastynge helthe; ye schulen not be schent, and ye schulen not be aschamed, til in to the world of world.
18 For thus he says Yahweh [who] created the heavens he [is] God [who] formed the earth and [who] made it he he established it not a wasteland he created it to dwell in he formed it I [am] Yahweh and there not [is] yet.
For whi the Lord makynge heuenes of nouyt, seith these thingis; he is God fourmynge erthe, and makinge it, he is the makere therof; he made it of noyt, not in veyn, but he formyde it, that it be enhabitid; Y am the Lord, and noon other is.
19 Not in secrecy I spoke in a place of a land of darkness not I said to [the] offspring of Jacob emptiness seek me I Yahweh [am] speaking righteousness [I am] declaring uprightness.
Y spak not in hid place, not in a derk place of erthe; I seide not to the seed of Jacob, Seke ye me in veyn. Y am the Lord spekynge riytfulnesse, tellynge riytful thingis.
20 Gather together and come draw near together O fugitives of the nations not they know those [who] carry [the] wood of idol their and [those who] pray to a god [which] not it will save.
Be ye gaderid, and come ye, and neiye ye togidere, that ben sauyd of hethene men; thei that reisen a signe of her grauyng, knewen not, and thei preien a god that saueth not.
21 Declare and bring near also let them take counsel together who? did he proclaim this from antiquity from then did he declare? it ¿ not [was it] I Yahweh and there not again [is] a god except me [is] a God righteous and a deliverer there not besides me.
Telle ye, and come ye, and take ye councel togidere. Who made this herd fro the bigynnyng? fro that tyme Y bifor seide it. Whether Y am not the Lord, and no God is ferthere with out me? God riytful and sauynge is noon, outakun me.
22 Turn to me and be saved O all [the] ends of [the] earth for I [am] God and there not [is] yet.
Alle the coostis of erthe, be ye conuertid to me, and ye schulen be saaf; for Y am the Lord, and noon other is.
23 By myself I swear it goes forth from mouth my righteousness a word and not it will return that to me it will bow down every knee it will swear every tongue.
Y swoor in my silf, a word of riytfulnesse schal go out of my mouth, and it schal not turne ayen; for ech kne schal be bowid to me, and ech tunge schal swere.
24 Only [are] in Yahweh of me anyone will say righteousness and strength to him everyone will go and they may be ashamed all those [who] are angry with him.
Therfor thei schulen sei in the Lord, Riytfulnessis and empire ben myne; alle that fiyten ayens hym schulen come to hym, and schulen be aschamed.
25 By Yahweh they will be justified and they may boast all [the] offspring of Israel.
Al the seed of Israel schal be iustified and preysid in the Lord.
