Isaiah 57
1 A iust man perischith, and noon is, that thenkith in his herte; and men of merci ben gaderid togidere, for noon is that vndurstondith; for whi a iust man is gaderid fro the face of malice.
The righteous [person] he has perished and there not [is] anyone [who] puts on heart and people of loyalty [are] being removed when there not [is one who] understands that from before evil he is removed the righteous [person].
2 Pees come, reste he in his bed, that yede in his dressyng.
He will go peace they will rest on beds their [one who] walks uprightness his.
3 But ye, sones of the sekere of fals dyuynyng bi chiteryng of briddys, neiye hidur, the seed of auowtresse, and of an hoore.
And you draw near hither O children of a soothsayer offspring adulterous and she has played [the] prostitute.
4 On whom scorneden ye? on whom maden ye greet the mouth, and puttiden out the tunge? Whethir ye ben not cursid sones, a seed of leesyngis?
On whom? are you making fun on whom? do you make wide a mouth do you make long? a tongue ¿ not [are] you children of transgression of spring of deception.
5 which ben coumfortid in goddis, vndur ech tree ful of bowis, and offren litle children in strondis, vndur hiye stoonys.
Who inflame yourselves among the oaks under every tree luxuriant [who] slaughter children in the wadis under [the] clefts of the cliffs.
6 Thi part is in the partis of the stronde, this is thi part; and to tho thou scheddist out moist offryng, thou offridist sacrifice. Whether Y schal not haue indignacioun on these thingis?
[is] among [the] smooth [stones] of [the] wadi Portion your they they [are] allotted portion your also to them you have poured out a drink offering you have offered up a grain offering ¿ on these [things] will I relent.
7 Thou puttidist thi bed on an hiy hil and enhaunsid, and thidur thou stiedist to offre sacrifices;
On a mountain high and lifted up you have set bed your also there you have gone up to sacrifice a sacrifice.
8 and thou settidist thi memorial bihynde the dore, and bihynde the post. For bisidis me thou vnhilidist, and tokist auouter; thou alargidist thi bed, and madist a boond of pees with hem; thou louedist the bed of hem with openyd hond,
And behind the door and the doorpost you have set up memorial your for from with me you have uncovered and you have gone up you have made wide bed your and you have cut off for yourself from them you have loved bed their a hand you have seen.
9 and ournedist thee with kyngis oynement, and thou multipliedist thi pymentis; thou sentist fer thi messangeris, and thou art maad low `til to hellis. (Sheol h7585)
And you journeyed to the king with oil and you increased perfumes your and you sent (envoys your *L(abh)*) to from a distance and you showed abasement to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou trauelidist in the multitude of thi weie, and seidist not, Y schal reste; thou hast founde the weie of thin hond,
With [the] greatness of journey your you became weary not you said despairing [the] life of hand your you found there-fore not you became weak.
11 therfor thou preiedist not. For what thing dreddist thou bisy, for thou liedist, and thouytist not on me? And thou thouytist not in thin herte, that Y am stille, and as not seynge; and thou hast foryete me.
And whom? did you dread and did you fear? that you will lie and me not you remembered not you put [it] on heart your ¿ not [am] I silent and from long ago and me not you fear.
12 Y schal telle thi riytfulnesse, and thi werkis schulen not profite to thee.
I I will declare righteousness your and deeds your and not they will benefit you.
13 Whanne thou schalt crie, thi gaderid tresours delyuere thee; and the wynd schal take awei alle tho, a blast schal do awei hem; but he that hath trist on me, schal enherite the lond, and schal haue in possessioun myn hooli hil.
When cry out you let them deliver you collection your and all of them it will carry away a wind it will take [them] away a breath and the [one who] takes refuge in me he will inherit [the] land so he may possess [the] mountain of holiness my.
14 And Y schal seie, Make ye weie, yyue ye iurney, bowe ye fro the path, do ye awei hirtyngis fro the weie of my puple.
And someone will say build up build up make clear [the] way lift up obstacle[s] from [the] way of people my.
15 For the Lord hiy, and enhaunsid, seith these thingis, that dwellith in euerlastyngnesse, and his hooli name in hiy place, and that dwellith in hooli, and with a contrite and meke spirit, that he quykene the spirit of meke men, and quykene the herte of contrit men.
For thus he says [the] high [one] and [the] exalted [one] [the one who] dwells perpetuity and [is] holy name his a high place and a holy [place] I dwell and with a [person] contrite and a [person] lowly of spirit to restore [the] spirit of lowly [people] and to restore [the] heart of contrite [people].
16 For Y schal not stryue with outen ende, nether Y schal be wrooth `til to the ende; for whi a spirit schal go out fro my face, and Y schal make blastis.
For not for ever I will conduct a case and not to perpetuity I will be angry for spirit from to before me it will grow faint and breaths [which] I I made.
17 Y was wrooth for the wickidnesse of his aueryce, and Y smoot hym. Y hidde my face fro thee, and Y hadde indignacioun; and he yede with out stidfast dwellyng, in the weie of his herte.
In [the] iniquity of unjust gain his I was angry and I struck him I hid and I may be angry and he walked apostate in [the] way of own heart his.
18 Y siy hise weies, and Y helide hym, and Y brouyte hym ayen; and Y yaf coumfortyngis to hym, and to the moreneris of hym.
Ways his I have seen and I will heal him and I will lead him and I may restore comfort to him and to mourners his.
19 Y made the fruyt of lippis pees, pees to hym that is fer, and to hym that is niy, seide the Lord; and Y heelide hym.
[I am] about to create ([the] fruit *Q(K)*) Lips peace - peace to distant [person] and to near [person] he says Yahweh and I will heal him.
20 But wickid men ben as the buyling see, that may not reste; and the wawis therof fleten ayen in to defoulyng, and fen.
And the wicked [people] [are] like the sea tossed for to be quiet not it is able and they have tossed up waters its mire and mud.
21 The Lord God seide, Pees is not to wickid men.
Not peace he says God my [belongs] to wicked [people].
