Ezekiel 16
1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
et factus est sermo Domini ad me dicens
2 and he seide, Sone of man, make thou knowun to Jerusalem her abhomynaciouns; and thou schalt seie,
fili hominis notas fac Hierusalem abominationes suas
3 The Lord God seith these thingis. A! thou Jerusalem, thi rote and thi generacioun is of the lond of Canaan; thi fadir is Amorrei, and thi moder is Cetei.
et dices haec dicit Dominus Deus Hierusalem radix tua et generatio tua de terra chananea pater tuus Amorreus et mater tua Cetthea
4 And whanne thou were borun, thi nawle was not kit awei in the dai of thi birthe, and thou were not waischun in watir in to helthe, nethir saltid with salt, nether wlappid in clothis.
et quando nata es in die ortus tui non est praecisus umbilicus tuus et in aqua non es lota in salutem nec sale salita nec involuta pannis
5 An iye sparide not on thee, that it hauynge merci on thee, dide to thee oon of these thingis; but thou were cast forth on the face of erthe, in the castynge out of thi soule, in the dai in which thou were borun.
non pepercit super te oculus ut facerem tibi unum de his miseratus tui sed proiecta es super faciem terrae in abiectione animae tuae in die qua nata es
6 Forsothe Y passide bi thee, and Y siy thee defoulid in thi blood; and Y seide to thee, whanne thou were in thi blood, Lyue thou; sotheli Y seide to thee in thi blood, Lyue thou.
transiens autem per te vidi te conculcari in sanguine tuo et dixi tibi cum esses in sanguine tuo vive dixi inquam tibi in sanguine tuo vive
7 Y yaf thee multiplied as the seed of a feeld, and thou were multiplied, and maad greet; and thou entridist, and camest fulli to wymmens ournyng; thi tetis wexiden greet, and thin heer wexide; and thou were nakid, and ful of schenschipe.
multiplicatam quasi germen agri dedi te et multiplicata es et grandis effecta et ingressa es et pervenisti ad mundum muliebrem ubera tua intumuerunt et pilus tuus germinavit et eras nuda et confusionis plena
8 And Y passide bi thee, and Y siy thee, and lo! thi tyme, the tyme of louyeris; and Y spredde abrood my clothing on thee, and Y hilide thi schenschipe. And Y swoor to thee, and Y made a couenaunt with thee, seith the Lord God, and thou were maad a wijf to me.
et transivi per te et vidi te et ecce tempus tuum tempus amantium et expandi amictum meum super te et operui ignominiam tuam et iuravi tibi et ingressus sum pactum tecum ait Dominus Deus et facta es mihi
9 And Y waischide thee in water, and Y clenside awei thi blood fro thee, and Y anoyntide thee with oile.
et lavi te aqua et emundavi sanguinem tuum ex te et unxi te oleo
10 And Y clothide thee with clothis of dyuerse colours, and Y schodde thee in iacynct, and Y girde thee with biys;
et vestivi te discoloribus et calciavi te ianthino et cinxi te bysso et indui te subtilibus
11 and Y clothide thee with sutil thingis, and Y ournede thee with ournement.
et ornavi te ornamento et dedi armillas in manibus tuis et torquem circa collum tuum
12 And Y yaf bies in thin hondis, and a wrethe aboute thi necke; and Y yaf a ryng on thi mouth, and cerclis to thin eeris, and a coroun of fairnesse in thin heed.
et dedi inaurem super os tuum et circulos auribus tuis et coronam decoris in capite tuo
13 And thou were ourned with gold and siluer, and thou were clothid with biys and ray cloth with rounde ymagis, and many colours. Thou etist cleene flour of wheete, and hony, and oile, and thou were maad fair ful greetli; and thou encreessidist in to a rewme,
et ornata es auro et argento et vestita es bysso et polymito et multicoloribus similam et mel et oleum comedisti et decora facta es vehementer nimis et profecisti in regnum
14 and thi name yede out in to hethene men for thi fairnesse; for thou were perfit in my fairnesse which Y hadde sett on thee, seith the Lord God.
et egressum est nomen tuum in gentes propter speciem tuam quia perfecta eras in decore meo quem posueram super te dicit Dominus Deus
15 And thou haddist trist in thi fairnesse, and didist fornicacioun in thi name; and thou settidist forth thi fornicacioun to ech that passide forth, that thou schuldist be maad his.
et habens fiduciam in pulchritudine tua fornicata es in nomine tuo et exposuisti fornicationem tuam omni transeunti ut eius fieres
16 And thou tokist of my clothis, and madist to thee hiy thingis set aboute on ech side; and thou didist fornycacioun on tho, as it was not don, nether schal be don.
et sumens de vestimentis meis fecisti tibi excelsa hinc inde consuta et fornicata es super eis sicut non est factum neque futurum est
17 And thou tokist the vessels of thi fairnesse, of my gold and of my siluer, which Y yaf to thee; and thou madist to thee ymagis of men, and didist fornycacioun in tho.
et tulisti vasa decoris tui de auro meo et argento meo quae dedi tibi et fecisti tibi imagines masculinas et fornicata es in eis
18 And thou tokist thi clothis of many colours, and thou were clothid in tho; and thou settidist myn oile and myn encence in the siyt of tho.
et sumpsisti vestimenta tua multicoloria et vestita es eis et oleum meum et thymiama meum posuisti coram eis
19 And thou settidist my breed, which Y yaf to thee, flour of wheete, and oile, and hony, bi whiche Y nurschide thee, in the siyt of tho, in to odour of swetnesse; and it was don, seith the Lord God.
et panem meum quem dedi tibi similam et oleum et mel quibus enutrivi te posuisti in conspectu eorum in odorem suavitatis et factum est ait Dominus Deus
20 And thou tokist thi sones and thi douytris, whiche thou gendridist to me, and offridist to tho, for to be deuourid. Whether thi fornicacioun is litil?
et tulisti filios tuos et filias tuas quas generasti mihi et immolasti eis ad devorandum numquid parva est fornicatio tua
21 Thou offridist my sones, and yauest hem, and halewidist to tho.
immolantis filios meos et dedisti illos consecrans eis
22 And aftir alle thin abhomynaciouns and fornicaciouns, thou bithouytist not on the daies of thi yong wexynge age, whanne thou were nakid, and ful of schenschipe, and were defoulid in thi blood.
et post omnes abominationes tuas et fornicationes non es recordata dierum adulescentiae tuae quando eras nuda et confusione plena conculcata in sanguine tuo
23 And after al thi malice, wo, wo bifelle to thee, seith the Lord God.
et accidit post omnem malitiam tuam vae vae tibi ait Dominus Deus
24 And thou bildidist to thee a bordel hous, and madist to thee a place of hordom in alle stretis.
et aedificasti tibi lupanar et fecisti tibi prostibulum in cunctis plateis
25 At ech heed of the weie thou bildidist a signe of thin hordom, and madist thi fairnesse abhomynable; and thou departidist thi feet to ech man passynge forth, and multepliedist thi fornicaciouns.
ad omne caput viae aedificasti signum prostitutionis tuae et abominabilem fecisti decorem tuum et divisisti pedes tuos omni transeunti et multiplicasti fornicationes tuas
26 And thou didist fornicacioun with the sones of Egipt, thi neiyboris of grete fleischis, and thou multepliedist thi fornicacioun, to terre me to wraththe.
et fornicata es cum filiis Aegypti vicinis tuis magnarum carnium et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam ad inritandum me
27 Lo! Y schal stretch forth myn hond on thee, and Y schal take awei thi iustifiyng; and Y schal yyue thee in to the soulis of hem that haten thee, of the douytris of Palestyns, that ben aschamed in thi weie ful of greet trespas.
ecce ego extendi manum meam super te et auferam ius tuum et dabo te in animam odientium te filiarum Palestinarum quae erubescunt in via tua scelerata
28 And thou didist fornicacioun with the sones of Assiriens, for thou were not fillid yit; and after that thou didist fornicacioun, nether so thou were fillid.
et fornicata es in filiis Assyriorum eo quod necdum fueris expleta et postquam fornicata es nec sic es satiata
29 And thou multipliedist thi fornycacioun in the lond of Canaan with Caldeis, and nether so thou were fillid.
et multiplicasti fornicationem tuam in terra Chanaan cum Chaldeis et nec sic satiata es
30 In what thing schal Y clense thin herte, seith the Lord God, whanne thou doist alle these werkis of a womman an hoore, and gredi axere?
in quo mundabo cor tuum ait Dominus Deus cum facias omnia haec opera mulieris meretricis et procacis
31 For thou madist thi bordel hous in `the heed of ech weie, and thou madist thin hiy place in ech street; and thou were not maad as an hoore ful of anoiyng,
quia fabricasti lupanar tuum in capite omnis viae et excelsum tuum fecisti in omni platea nec facta es quasi meretrix fastidio augens pretium
32 encreessynge prijs, but as a womman auowtresse, that bryngith in aliens on hir hosebonde.
sed quasi mulier adultera quae super virum suum inducit alienos
33 Hiris ben youun to alle hooris, but thou hast youe hire to alle thi louyeris; and thou yauest to hem, that thei schulden entre to thee on ech side, to do fornycacioun with thee.
omnibus meretricibus dantur mercedes tu autem dedisti mercedes cunctis amatoribus tuis et donabas eis ut intrarent ad te undique ad fornicandum tecum
34 And it was don in thee ayens the custom of wymmen in thi fornycaciouns, and fornicacioun schal not be after thee; for in that that thou yauest hiris, and tokist not hiris, the contrarie was don in thee.
factumque in te est contra consuetudinem mulierum in fornicationibus tuis et post te non erit fornicatio in eo enim quod dedisti mercedes et mercedes non accepisti factum est in te contrarium
35 Therfor, thou hoore, here the word of the Lord.
propterea meretrix audi verbum Domini
36 The Lord God seith these thingis, For thi riches is sched out, and thi schenschipe is schewid in thi fornicaciouns on thi louyeris, and on the idols of thin abhomynaciouns, in the blood of thi sones, whiche thou yauest to hem; lo!
haec dicit Dominus Deus quia effusum est aes tuum et revelata est ignominia tua in fornicationibus tuis super amatores tuos et super idola abominationum tuarum in sanguine filiorum tuorum quos dedisti eis
37 Y schal gadere to gidere alle thi louyeris, with whiche thou were meddlid, and alle men whiche thou louedist, with alle men whiche thou hatidist; and Y schal gadere hem on thee on ech side, and Y schal make nakid thi schenschipe bifore hem, and thei schulen se al thi filthe.
ecce ego congregabo omnes amatores tuos quibus commixta es et omnes quos dilexisti cum universis quos oderas et congregabo eos super te undique et nudabo ignominiam tuam coram eis et videbunt omnem turpitudinem tuam
38 And Y schal deme thee bi the domes of auoutressis, and schedinge out blood;
et iudicabo te iudiciis adulterarum et effundentium sanguinem et dabo te in sanguinem furoris et zeli
39 and Y schal yyue thee in to the blood of strong veniaunce, and of feruour. And Y schal yyue thee in to the hondis of hem, and thei schulen destrie thi bordel hous, and thei schulen destrie the place of thin hordom; and thei schulen make thee nakid of thi clothis, and thei schulen take awei the vessels of thi fairnesse, and thei schulen forsake thee nakid, and ful of schenschipe.
et dabo te in manus eorum et destruent lupanar tuum et demolientur prostibulum tuum et denudabunt te vestimentis tuis et auferent vasa decoris tui et derelinquent te nudam plenamque ignominia
40 And thei schulen bringe on thee a multitude, and thei schulen stoon thee with stoonys, and thei schulen sle thee with her swerdis.
et adducent super te multitudinem et lapidabunt te lapidibus et trucidabunt te gladiis suis
41 And thei schulen brenne thin housis with fier, and thei schulen make domes in thee, bifor the iyen of ful many wymmen; and thou schalt ceese to do fornicacioun, and thou schalt no more yyue hiris.
et conburent domos tuas igni et facient in te iudicia in oculis mulierum plurimarum et desines fornicari et mercedes ultra non dabis
42 And myn indignacioun schal reste in thee, and my feruent loue schal be takun awei fro thee; and Y schal reste, and Y schal no more be wrooth,
et requiescet indignatio mea in te et auferetur zelus meus a te et quiescam nec irascar amplius
43 for thou haddist not mynde on the daies of thi yong wexynge age, and thou terridist me to ire in alle these thingis. Wherfor and Y yaf thi weies in thin heed, seith the Lord God, and Y dide not aftir thi grete trespassis, in alle these thin abhomynaciouns.
eo quod non fueris recordata dierum adulescentiae tuae et provocasti me in omnibus his quapropter et ego vias tuas in capite tuo dedi ait Dominus Deus et non feci iuxta scelera tua in omnibus abominationibus tuis
44 Lo! ech man that seith a prouerbe comynli, schal take it in thee,
ecce omnis qui dicit vulgo proverbium in te adsumet illud dicens sicut mater ita et filia eius
45 and schal seie, As the modir, so and the douytir of hir. Thou art the douyter of thi modir, that castide awey hir hosebonde and hir sones; and thou art the sister of thi sistris, that castiden a wei her hosebondis and her sones. Thi modir is Cetei, and thi fadir is Ammorrei;
filia matris tuae es tu quae proiecit virum suum et filios suos et soror sororum tuarum tu quae proiecerunt viros suos et filios suos mater vestra Cetthea et pater vester Amorreus
46 and thi gretter sister is Samarie, sche and hir douytris, that dwellen at thi left side; but thi sistir lesse than thou, that dwellith at thi riyt side, is Sodom, and hir douytris.
et soror tua maior Samaria ipsa et filiae eius quae habitat ad sinistram tuam soror autem tua minor te quae habitat a dextris tuis Sodoma et filiae eius
47 But thou yedist not in the weies of hem, nethir thou didist aftir the grete trespassis of hem; hast thou do almest a litil lesse cursidere dedis than thei, in alle thi weies?
sed nec in viis earum ambulasti neque secundum scelera earum fecisti pauxillum minus paene sceleratiora fecisti illis in omnibus viis tuis
48 Y lyue, seith the Lord God, for Sodom, thi sister, did not, sche and hir douytris, as thou didist, and thi douytris.
vivo ego dicit Dominus Deus quia non fecit Sodoma soror tua ipsa et filiae eius sicut fecisti tu et filiae tuae
49 Lo! this was the wickidnesse of Sodom, thi sister, pride, fulnesse of breed, and habundaunce, and idilnesse of hir, and of hir douytris; and thei puttiden not hond to a nedi man and pore.
ecce haec fuit iniquitas Sodomae sororis tuae superbia saturitas panis et abundantia et otium ipsius et filiarum eius et manum egeno et pauperi non porrigebant
50 And thei weren enhaunsid, and diden other abhominaciouns bifore me; and Y took hem awei, as thou hast seyn.
et elevatae sunt et fecerunt abominationes coram me et abstuli eas sicut vidisti
51 And Samarie synnede not the half of thi synnes, but thou hast ouercome hem in thi grete trespassis; and thou hast iustified thi sistris in alle thin abhomynaciouns, whiche thou wrouytist.
et Samaria dimidium peccatorum tuorum non peccavit sed vicisti eas sceleribus tuis et iustificasti sorores tuas in omnibus abominationibus tuis quas operata es
52 Therfor and thou bere thi schenschipe, that hast ouercome thi sistris with thi synnes, and didist more cursidli than thei; for thei ben iustified of thee. Therfor and be thou schent, and bere thi schenschipe, which hast iustified thi sistris.
ergo et tu porta confusionem tuam quae vicisti sorores tuas peccatis tuis sceleratius agens ab eis iustificatae sunt enim a te ergo et tu confundere et porta ignominiam tuam quae iustificasti sorores tuas
53 And Y schal conuerte and restore hem by the conuersioun of Sodom with hir douytris, and bi the conuersioun of Samarie and of hir douytris; and Y schal conuerte thi turnyng ayen in the myddis of hem,
et convertam restituens eas conversione Sodomorum cum filiabus suis et conversione Samariae et filiarum eius et convertam reversionem tuam in medio earum
54 that thou bere thi schenschipe, and be aschamed in alle thingis whiche thou didist, coumfortynge hem.
ut portes ignominiam tuam et confundaris in omnibus quae fecisti consolans eas
55 And thi sister Sodom and hir doytris schulen turne ayen to her eldnesse; and Samarie and hir douytris shulen turne ayen to her eeldnesse; and thou and thi douytris turne ayen to youre eldnesse.
et soror tua Sodoma et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam et Samaria et filiae eius revertentur ad antiquitatem suam et tu et filiae tuae revertimini ad antiquitatem vestram
56 Forsothe Sodom, thi sister, was not herd in thi mouth, in the dai of thi pride,
non fuit autem Sodoma soror tua audita in ore tuo in die superbiae tuae
57 bifore that thi malice was schewid, as in this tyme, in to schenschipe of the douytris of Sirie, and of alle douytris in thi cumpas, of the douytris of Palestyn that ben aboute thee bi cumpas.
antequam revelaretur malitia tua sicut hoc tempore in obprobrium filiarum Syriae et cunctarum in circuitu tuo filiarum Palestinarum quae ambiunt te per gyrum
58 Thou hast bore thi greet trespas, and thi schenschipe, seith the Lord God.
scelus tuum et ignominiam tuam tu portasti ait Dominus Deus
59 For the Lord God seith these thingis, And Y schal do to thee as thou dispisidist the ooth, that thou schuldist make voide the couenaunt;
quia haec dicit Dominus Deus et faciam tibi sicut dispexisti iuramentum ut irritum faceres pactum
60 and Y schal haue mynde on my couenaunt with thee in the daies of thi yongthe, and Y schal reise to thee a couenaunt euerlastynge.
et recordabor ego pacti mei tecum in diebus adulescentiae tuae et suscitabo tibi pactum sempiternum
61 And thou schalt haue mynde on thi weies, and schalt be aschamed, whanne thou schalt resseyue thi sistris grettere than thou, with thi lesse sistris; and Y schal yyue hem in to douytris to thee, but not of thi couenaunt.
et recordaberis viarum tuarum et confunderis cum receperis sorores tuas te maiores cum minoribus tuis et dabo eas tibi in filias sed non ex pacto tuo
62 And Y schal reise my couenaunt with thee, and thou schalt wite, that Y am the Lord, that thou haue mynde, and be aschamed;
et suscitabo ego pactum meum tecum et scies quia ego Dominus
63 and that it be no more to thee to opene the mouth for thi schame, whanne Y schal be plesid to thee in alle thingis whiche thou didist, seith the Lord God.
ut recorderis et confundaris et non sit tibi ultra aperire os prae confusione tua cum placatus fuero tibi in omnibus quae fecisti ait Dominus Deus
