Isaiah 19
1 The birthun of Egipt. Lo! the Lord schal stie on a liyt cloude, and he schal entre in to Egipt; and the symilacris of Egipt schulen be mouyd fro his face, and the herte of Egipt schal faile in the myddis therof.
Onus Aegypti. Ecce Dominus ascendet super nubem levem, et ingredietur Aegyptum, et commovebuntur simulachra Aegypti a facie eius, et cor Aegypti tabescet in medio eius.
2 And Y schal make Egipcians to renne togidere ayens Egipcians, and a man schal fiyte ayens his brother, and a man ayens his frend, a citee ayens a citee, and a rewme ayens a rewme.
Et concurrere faciam Aegyptios adversus Aegyptios: et pugnabit vir contra fratrem suum, et vir contra amicum suum, civitas adversus civitatem, regnum adversus regnum.
3 And the spirit of Egipt schal be brokun in the entrailis therof, and Y schal caste doun the councel therof; and thei schulen axe her symylacris, and her false diuinouris, and her men that han vncleene spiritis spekinge in the wombe, and her dyuynouris bi sacrifices maad on auteris to feendis.
Et dirumpetur spiritus Aegypti in visceribus eius, et consilium eius praecipitabo: et interrogabunt simulachra sua, et divinos suos, et pythones, et ariolos.
4 And Y schal bitake Egipt in to the hond of cruel lordis, and a strong kyng schal be lord of hem, seith the Lord God of oostis.
Et tradam Aegyptum in manu dominorum crudelium, et rex fortis dominabitur eorum, ait Dominus Deus exercituum.
5 And watir of the see schal wexe drie, and the flood schal be desolat, and schal be dried.
Et arescet aqua de mari, et fluvius desolabitur, atque siccabitur.
6 And the floodis schulen faile, and the strondis of the feeldis schulen be maad thynne, and schulen be dried; a rehed and spier schal fade.
Et deficient flumina: attenuabuntur, et siccabuntur rivi aggerum. Calamus et iuncus marcescet:
7 The botme of watir schal be maad nakid, and stremys fro her welle; and the moiste place of al seed schal be dried, schal waxe drie, and schal not be.
nudabitur alveus rivi a fonte suo, et omnis sementis irrigua siccabitur, arescet, et non erit.
8 And fischeris schulen morne, and alle that casten hook in to the flood, schulen weile; and thei that spreden abrood a net on the face of watris, schulen fade.
Et moerebunt piscatores, et lugebunt omnes mittentes in flumen hamum, et expandentes rete super faciem aquarum emarcescent.
9 Thei schulen be schent, that wrouyten flex, foldynge and ordeynynge sutil thingis.
Confundentur qui operabantur linum, pectentes, et texentes subtilia.
10 And the watir places therof schulen be drye; alle that maden poondis to take fischis, schulen be schent.
Et erunt irrigua eius flaccentia: omnes qui faciebant lacunas ad capiendos pisces.
11 The fonned princes of Tafnys, the wise counselouris of Farao, yauen vnwise counsel; hou schulen ye seie to Farao, Y am the sone of wise men, the sone of elde kyngis?
Stulti principes Taneos, sapientes consiliarii Pharaonis dederunt consilium insipiens: quomodo dicitis Pharaoni: Filius sapientium ego, filius regum antiquorum?
12 Where ben now thi wise men? Telle thei to thee, and schewe thei, what the Lord of oostis thouyte on Egipt.
Ubi nunc sunt sapientes tui? annuncient tibi, et indicent quid cogitaverit Dominus exercituum super Aegyptum.
13 The princes of Tafnys ben maad foolis; the princes of Memphis fadiden; thei disseyueden Egipt, a corner of the puplis therof.
Stulti facti sunt principes Taneos, emarcuerunt principes Mempheos, deceperunt Aegyptum, angulum populorum eius.
14 The Lord meddlid a spirit of errour in the myddis therof; and thei maden Egipt for to erre in al his werk, as a drunkun man and spuynge errith.
Dominus miscuit in medio eius spiritum vertiginis: et errare fecerunt Aegyptum in omni opere suo, sicut errat ebrius et vomens.
15 And werk schal not be to Egipt, that it make an heed and tail bowynge and refreynynge.
Et non erit Aegypto opus, quod faciat caput et caudam incurvantem, et refrenantem.
16 In that dai Egipt schal be as wymmen, and thei schulen be astonyed, and schulen drede of the face of the mouynge of the hoond of the Lord of oostis, which he mouede on it.
In die illa erit Aegyptus quasi mulieres, et stupebunt, et timebunt a facie commotionis manus Domini exercituum. quam ipse movebit super eam.
17 And the lond of Juda schal be to Egipt in to drede; ech that schal thenke on it, schal drede of the face of the counsel of the Lord of oostis, whiche he thouyte on it.
Et erit Terra Iuda Aegypto in pavorem: omnis, qui illius fuerit recordatus, pavebit a facie consilii Domini exercituum, quod ipse cogitavit super eam.
18 In that dai fyue citees schulen be in the lond of Egipt, and schulen speke with the tunge of Canaan, and schulen swere bi the Lord of oostis; the citee of the sunne schal be clepid oon.
In die illa erunt quinque civitates in Terra Aegypti, loquentes lingua Chanaan, et iurantes per Dominum exercituum: Civitas solis vocabitur una.
19 In that dai the auter of the Lord schal be in the myddis of the lond of Egipt, and the title of the Lord schal be bisidis the ende therof;
In die illa erit altare Domini in medio Terrae Aegypti, et titulus Domini iuxta terminum eius
20 and it schal be in to a signe and witnessyng to the Lord of oostis, in the lond of Egipt. For thei schulen crie to the Lord fro the face of the troblere, and he schal sende a sauyour to hem, and a forfiytere, that schal delyuere hem.
erit in signum, et in testimonium Domino exercituum in Terra Aegypti. Clamabunt enim ad Dominum a facie tribulationis, et mittet eis salvatorem et propugnatorem, qui liberet eos.
21 And the Lord schal be knowun of Egipt, and Egipcians schulen knowe the Lord in that dai; and thei schulen worschipe hym in sacrifices and yiftis, and thei schulen make vowis to the Lord, and thei schulen paie.
Et cognoscetur Dominus ab Aegypto, et cognoscent Aegyptii Dominum in die illa, et colent eum in hostiis et in muneribus: et vota vovebunt Domino, et solvent.
22 And the Lord schal smyte Egipt with a wounde, and schal make it hool; and Egipcians schulen turne ayen to the Lord, and he schal be plesid in hem, and he schal make hem hool.
Et percutiet Dominus Aegyptum plaga, et sanabit eam, et revertentur ad Dominum, et placabitur eis, et sanabit eos.
23 In that dai a wei schal be fro Egipt in to Assiriens, and Egipcians schulen serue Assur; and Assur schal entre in to Egipt, and Egipt in to Assiriens.
In die illa erit via de Aegypto in Assyrios, et intrabit Assyrius Aegyptum, et Aegyptius in Assyrios, et servient Aegyptii Assur.
24 In that dai Israel schal be the thridde to Egipt and to Assur, the blessyng in the myddil of erthe;
In die illa erit Israel tertius Aegyptio et Assyrio: benedictio in medio terrae,
25 whom the Lord of oostis blesside, seiynge, Blessid be my puple of Egipt, and the werk of myn hondis be to Assiriens; but myne eritage be to Israel.
cui benedixit Dominus exercituum, dicens: Benedictus populus meus Aegypti, et opus manuum mearum Assyrio: hereditas autem mea Israel.
