Isaiah 37
1 And it was don, whanne kyng Ezechie hadde herd, he to-rente hise clothis, and he was wlappid in a sak, and entride in to the hous of the Lord.
Et factum est, cum audisset rex Ezechias, scidit vestimenta sua, et obvolutus est sacco, et intravit in domum Domini.
2 And he sente Eliachym, that was on the hous, and Sobna, the scryuen, and the eldre men of prestis, hilid with sackis, to Isaie, the prophete, the sone of Amos.
Et misit Eliacim, qui erat super domum, et Sobnam scribam, et seniores de sacerdotibus opertos saccis ad Isaiam filium Amos prophetam,
3 And thei seiden to hym, Ezechie seith these thingis, A dai of tribulacioun, and of angwisch, and of chastisyng, and of blasfemye is this dai; for children camen `til to childberyng, and vertu of childberyng is not.
et dixerunt ad eum: Hæc dicit Ezechias: Dies tribulationis, et correptionis, et blasphemiæ dies hæc: quia venerunt filii usque ad partum, et virtus non est pariendi.
4 Therfor reise thou preier for the relifs that ben foundun, if in ony maner thi Lord God here the wordis of Rapsaces, whom the king of Assiriens, his lord, sente, for to blasfeme lyuynge God, and to dispise bi the wordis, whiche thi Lord God herde.
Si quo modo audiat Dominus Deus tuus verba Rabsacis, quem misit rex Assyriorum dominus suus ad blasphemandum Deum viventem, et exprobrandum sermonibus, quos audivit Dominus Deus tuus: leva ergo orationem pro reliquiis, quæ repertæ sunt.
5 And the seruauntis of kyng Esechie camen to Isaie;
Et venerunt servi regis Ezechiæ ad Isaiam.
6 and Isaie seide to hem, Ye schulen seie these thingis to youre lord, The Lord seith these thingis, Drede thou not of the face of wordis whiche thou herdist, bi whiche the children of the kyng of Assiriens blasfemyden me.
Et dixit ad eos Isaias: Hæc dicetis domino vestro: Hæc dicit Dominus: Ne timeas a facie verborum, quæ audisti, quibus blasphemaverunt pueri regis Assyriorum me.
7 Lo! Y schal yyue to hym a spirit, and he schal here a messanger; and he schal turne ayen to his londe, and Y schal make hym to falle doun bi swerd in his lond.
Ecce ego dabo ei spiritum, et audiet nuncium, et revertetur ad terram suam, et corruere eum faciam gladio in terra sua.
8 Forsothe Rapsaces turnede ayen, and foond the kyng of Assiriens fiytynge ayens Lobna; for he hadde herd, that the kyng was gon fro Lachis.
Reversus est autem Rabsaces, et invenit regem Assyriorum præliantem adversus Lobnam. Audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis,
9 And the kyng herde messangeris seiynge of Theracha, kyng of Ethiopiens, He is gon out to fiyte ayens thee. And whanne he hadde herd this thing, he sente messangeris to Ezechie, and seide, Ye schulen seie,
et audivit de Tharaca rege Æthiopiæ, dicentes: Egressus est ut pugnet contra te. Quod cum audisset, misit nuncios ad Ezechiam, dicens:
10 spekynge these thingis to Ezechye, kyng of Juda, Thi God disseyue not thee, in whom thou tristist, and seist, Jerusalem schal not be youun in to the hond of the kyng of Assiriens.
Hæc dicetis Ezechiæ regi Iudæ, loquentes: Non te decipiat Deus tuus, in quo tu confidis, dicens: Non dabitur Ierusalem in manu regis Assyriorum.
11 Lo! thou herdist alle thingis whiche the kynges of Assiriens diden to alle londis whiche thei distrieden; and maist thou be delyuered?
Ecce tu audisti omnia, quæ fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris, quas subverterunt, et tu poteris liberari?
12 Whethir the goddis of folkis delyuereden hem, whiche my fadris distrieden; Gosan, and Aran, and Reseph, and the sones of Eden, that weren in Thalasar?
Numquid eruerunt eos dii gentium, quos subverterunt patres mei Gozam, et Haram, et Reseph, et filios Eden, qui erant in Thalassar?
13 Where is the kyng of Emath, and the kyng of Arphath, and the kyng of the citee of Sepharuaym, and of Ana, and of Aua?
Ubi est rex Emath, et rex Arphad, et rex urbis Sepharvaim, Ana, et Ava?
14 And Ezechie took the bookis fro the hond of messangeris, and redde tho; and he stiede in to the hous of the Lord, and spredde abrood tho bifore the Lord;
Et tulit Ezechias libros de manu nunciorum, et legit eos, et ascendit in domum Domini, et expandit eos Ezechias coram Domino.
15 and preiede to the Lord,
Et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum, dicens:
16 and seide, Lord of oostis, God of Israel, that sittist on cherubyn, thou art God aloone of alle the rewmes of erthe; thou madist heuene and erthe.
Domine exercituum Deus Israel, qui sedes super cherubim: tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terræ, tu fecisti cælum et terram.
17 Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here; Lord, open thin iyen, and se; and here thou alle the wordis of Sennacherib, whiche he sente for to blasfeme lyuynge God.
Inclina Domine aurem tuam, et audi: aperi Domine oculos tuos, et vide, et audi omnia verba Sennacherib, quæ misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem.
18 For verili, Lord, the kyngis of Assiriens maden londis dissert, and the cuntreis of tho, and yauen the goddis of tho to fier;
Vere enim Domine desertas fecerunt reges Assyriorum terras, et regiones earum.
19 for thei weren not goddis, but the werkis of mennus hondis, trees and stoonys; and thei al to-braken tho goddis.
Et dederunt deos earum igni: non enim erant dii, sed opera manuum hominum, lignum et lapis: et comminuerunt eos.
20 And now, oure Lord God, saue thou vs fro the hond of hym; and alle rewmes of erthe knowe, that thou art Lord God aloone.
Et nunc Domine Deus noster salva nos de manu eius: et cognoscant omnia regna terræ, quia tu es Dominus solus.
21 And Isaie, the sone of Amos, sente to Ezechie, and seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, For whiche thingis thou preidist me of Sennacherib, the kyng of Assiriens,
Et misit Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib rege Assyriorum:
22 this is the word which the Lord spak on hym, Thou virgyn, the douyter of Sion, he dispiside thee, he scornede thee; thou virgyn, the douyter of Jerusalem, he moued his heed aftir thee.
hoc est verbum, quod locutus est Dominus super eum: Despexit te, et subsannavit te virgo filia Sion: post te caput movit filia Ierusalem.
23 Whom despisist thou, and whom blasfemedist thou? and on whom reisidist thou thi vois, and reisidist the hiynesse of thin iyen?
Cui exprobrasti, et quem blasphemasti, et super quem exaltasti vocem, et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum? Ad Sanctum Israel.
24 To the hooli of Israel. Bi the hond of thi seruauntis thou dispisidist the Lord, and seidist, In the multitude of my cartis Y stiede on the hiynesses of hillis, on the yockis of Liban; and Y schal kitte doun the hiy thingis of cedris therof, and the chosun beechis therof; and Y schal entre in to the hiynesse of the cop therof, in to the forest of Carmele therof.
In manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino: et dixisti: In multitudine quadrigarum mearum ego ascendi altitudinem montium, iuga Libani: et succidam excelsa cedrorum eius, et electas abietes illius, et introibo altitudinem summitatis eius, saltum Carmeli eius.
25 Y diggide, and drank watir; and Y made drie with the step of my foot all the strondis of feeldis.
Ego fodi, et bibi aquam, et exiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos aggerum.
26 Whether thou, Sennacherib, herdist not what thingis Y dide sum tyme? Fro elde daies Y fourmyde that thing, and now Y haue brouyt; and it is maad in to drawyng vp bi the roote of litle hillis fiytynge togidere, and of strong citees.
Numquid non audisti, quæ olim fecerim ei? Ex diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud: et nunc adduxi: et factum est in eradicationem collium compugnantium, et civitatum munitarum.
27 The dwelleris of tho citees trembliden togidere with hond maad schort, and ben aschamed; thei ben maad as hei of the feeld, and the gras of lesewe, and as erbe of roouys, that driede vp bifore that it wexide ripe.
Habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt, et confusi sunt: facti sunt sicut fœnum agri, et gramen pascuæ, et herba tectorum, quæ exaruit antequam maturesceret.
28 Y knew thi dwellyng, and thi goyng out, and thin entryng, and thi woodnesse ayens me.
Habitationem tuam, et egressum tuum, et introitum tuum cognovi, et insaniam tuam contra me.
29 Whanne thou were wood ayens me, thi pride stiede in to myn eeris; therfor Y schal sette a ryng in thi nosethirlis, and a bridil in thi lippis; and Y schal lede thee ayen in to the weie, bi which thou camest.
Cum fureres adversum me, superbia tua ascendit in aures meas: ponam ergo circulum in naribus tuis, et frenum in labiis tuis, et reducam te in viam, per quem venisti.
30 Forsothe to thee, Ezechie, this schal be a signe; ete thou in this yeer tho thingis that growen bi her fre wille, and in the secunde yeer ete thou applis; but in the thridde yeer sowe ye, and repe ye, and plaunte ye vyneris, and ete ye the fruyt of tho.
Tibi autem hoc erit signum: Comede hoc anno quæ sponte nascuntur, et in anno secundo pomis vescere: in anno autem tertio seminate, et metite, et plantate vineas, et comedite fructum earum.
31 And that that is sauyd of the hous of Juda, and that, that is left, schal sende roote bynethe, and schal make fruyt aboue;
Et mittet id, quod salvatum fuerit de domo Iuda, et quod reliquum est, radicem deorsum, et faciet fructum sursum:
32 for whi relifs schulen go out of Jerusalem, and saluacioun fro the hil of Sion; the feruent loue of the Lord of oostis schal do this thing.
quia de Ierusalem exibunt reliquiæ, et salvatio de monte Sion: zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud.
33 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis of the kyng of Assiriens, He schal not entre in to this citee, and he schal not schete there an arowe; and a scheeld schal not ocupie it, and he schal not sende erthe in the cumpas therof.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum: Non intrabit civitatem hanc, et non iaciet ibi sagittam, et non occupabit eam clypeus, et non mittet in circuitu eius aggerem.
34 In the weie in which he cam, he schal turne ayen bi it; and he schal not entre in to this citee, seith the Lord.
In via, qua venit, per eam revertetur, et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus:
35 And Y schal defende this citee, that Y saue it, for me, and for Dauid, my seruaunt.
et protegam civitatem istam, ut salvem eam propter me, et propter David servum meum.
36 Forsothe the aungel of the Lord yede out, and killide an hundride thousynde and fourscoor and fyue thousynde in the tentis of Assiriens; and thei risen eerli, and lo! alle men weren careyns of deed men.
Egressus est autem Angelus Domini, et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque millia. Et surrexerunt mane, et ecce omnes, cadavera mortuorum.
37 And Sennacherib yede out of Jude, and wente awei. And Sennacherib, the kyng of Assiriens, turnede ayen, and dwellide in Nynyue.
Et egressus est, et abiit, et reversus est Sennacherib rex Assyriorum, et habitavit in Ninive.
38 And it was don, whanne he worschipide Mesrach, his god, in the temple, Aramalech and Sarasar, hise sones, killiden hym with swerd, and fledden in to the lond of Ararath; and Asaradon, his sone, regnyde for hym.
Et factum est, cum adoraret in templo Nesroch deum suum, Adramelech, et Sarasar filii eius percusserunt eum gladio: fugeruntque in Terram Ararat, et regnavit Asarhaddon filius eius pro eo.
