< Isaiah 52 >
1 Rise thou, Sion, rise thou, be thou clothid in thi strengthe; Jerusalem, the citee of the hooli, be thou clothid in the clothis of thi glorie; for a man vncircumcidid and a man vncleene schal no more leie to, that he passe by thee.
Consurge, consurge, induere fortitudine tua Sion, induere vestimentis gloriae tuae Ierusalem civitas sancti: quia non adiiciet ultra ut pertranseat per te incircumcisus et immundus.
2 Jerusalem, be thou schakun out of dust; rise thou, sitte thou; thou douyter of Sion, prisoner, vnbynde the boondis of thi necke.
Excutere de pulvere, consurge; sede Ierusalem: solve vincula colli tui captiva filia Sion.
3 For the Lord seith these thingis, Ye ben seeld without cause, and ye schulen be ayenbouyt with out siluer.
Quia haec dicit Dominus: Gratis venundati estis, et sine argento redimemini.
4 For the Lord God seith these thingis, Mi puple in the bigynnyng yede doun in to Egipt, that it schulde be there `an erthe tiliere, and Assur falsli calengide it with out ony cause.
Quia haec dicit Dominus Deus: In Aegyptum descendit populus meus in principio ut colonus esset ibi: et Assur absque ulla causa calumniatus est eum.
5 And now what is to me here? seith the Lord; for my puple is takun awei with out cause; the lordis therof doen wickidli, seith the Lord, and my name is blasfemyd contynueli al dai.
Et nunc quid mihi est hic, dicit Dominus, quoniam ablatus est populus meus gratis? Dominatores eius inique agunt, dicit Dominus, et iugiter tota die nomen meum blasphematur.
6 For this thing my puple schal knowe my name in that day, for lo! Y my silf that spak, am present.
Propter hoc sciet populus meus nomen meum in die illa: quia ego ipse qui loquebar, ecce adsum.
7 Ful faire ben the feet of hym that tellith, and prechith pees on hillis, of hym that tellith good, of hym that prechith helthe, and seith, Sion, thi God schal regne.
Quam pulchri super montes pedes annunciantis et praedicantis pacem: annunciantis bonum, praedicantis salutem, dicentis Sion: Regnabit Deus tuus!
8 The vois of thi biholderis; thei reisiden the vois, thei schulen herie togidere; for thei schulen se with iye to iye, whanne the Lord hath conuertid Sion.
Vox speculatorum tuorum: levaverunt vocem, simul laudabunt: quia oculo ad oculum videbunt cum converterit Dominus Sion.
9 The forsakun thingis of Jerusalem, make ye ioie, and herie ye togidere; for the Lord hath coumfortid his puple, he hath ayenbouyt Jerusalem.
Gaudete, et laudate simul deserta Ierusalem: quia consolatus est Dominus populum suum, redemit Ierusalem.
10 The Lord hath maad redi his hooli arm in the iyen of alle folkis, and alle the endis of the erthe schulen se the helthe of oure God.
Paravit Dominus brachium sanctum suum in oculis omnium Gentium: et videbunt omnes fines terrae salutare Dei nostri.
11 Go ye awei, go ye awei, go ye out fro thennus; nyle ye touche defoulid thing, go ye out fro the myddis therof; be ye clensid, that beren the vessels of the Lord.
Recedite, recedite, exite inde, pollutum nolite tangere: exite de medio eius, mundamini qui fertis vasa Domini.
12 For ye schulen not go out in noyse, nether ye schulen haaste in fleynge awei; for whi the Lord schal go bifore you, and the God of Israel schal gadere you togidere.
Quoniam non in tumultu exibitis, nec in fuga properabitis: praecedet enim vos Dominus, et congregabit vos Deus Israel.
13 Lo! my seruaunt schal vndirstonde, and he schal be enhaunsid, and he schal be reisid, and he schal be ful hiy.
Ecce intelliget servus meus, exaltabitur, et elevabitur, et sublimis erit valde.
14 As many men wondriden on hym, so his biholdyng schal be with out glorie among men, and the fourme of hym among the sones of men.
Sicut obstupuerunt super te multi, sic inglorius erit inter viros aspectus eius, et forma eius inter filios hominum.
15 He schal bisprenge many folkis; kyngis schulen holde togidere her mouth on him; for thei schulen se, to whiche it was not teld of hym, and thei that herden not, bihelden.
Iste asperget gentes multas, super ipsum continebunt reges os suum: quia quibus non est narratum de eo, viderunt: et qui non audierunt, contemplati sunt.
