< Isaiah 64 >
1 I wolde that thou brakist heuenes, and camest doun, that hillis fletiden awei fro thi face,
if you tore [the] heavens you came down from before you mountains they shook.
2 and failiden as brennyng of fier, and brente in fier; that thi name were made knowun to thin enemyes, and folkis weren disturblid of thi face.
As kindles fire brushwood water it boils fire to make known name your to opponents your from before you nations they will quake.
3 Whanne thou schalt do merueils, we schulen not abide. Thou camest doun, and hillis fletiden awei fro thi face.
When doing you awesome [deeds] [which] not we were looking for you came down from before you mountains they shook.
4 Fro the world thei herden not, nethir perseyueden with eeris; God, non iye siy, withouten thee, what thingis thou hast maad redi to hem that abiden thee.
And from long ago not people have heard not people have given ear eye not it has seen a God besides you [who] he acts for [one who] waits for him.
5 Thou mettist hym that is glad, and doith riytfulnesse; in thi weies thei schulen bithenke on thee. Lo! thou art wrooth, and we synneden; in tho synnes we weren euere, and we schulen be saued.
You meet [one who] rejoices and [one who] does righteousness in ways your they remember you there! you you were angry and we sinned in them long duration so we may be saved?
6 And alle we ben maad as an vncleene man; alle oure riytfulnessis ben as the cloth of a womman in vncleene blood; and alle we fellen doun as a leef, and our wickidnessis as wynd han take awei vs.
And we have become like unclean [person] all of us and [are] like a garment of menstruation all righteousness our and we have withered like leafage all of us and iniquities our like the wind they carry off us.
7 Noon is, that clepith thi name to help, that risith, and holdith thee; thou hast hid thi face fro vs, and thou hast hurtlid doun vs in the hond of oure wickidnesse.
And there not [is one who] calls on name your [one who] rouses himself to take hold on you for you have hidden face your from us and you have melted us in [the] hand of iniquity our.
8 And now, Lord, thou art oure fadir; forsothe we ben cley, and thou art oure maker, and alle we ben the werkis of thin hondis.
And now O Yahweh [are] father our you we [are] the clay and you [are] [the] [one who] formed us and [are] [the] work of hand your all of us.
9 Lord, be thou not wrooth ynow, and haue thou no more mynde on oure wickidnesse. Lo! Lord, biholde thou, alle we ben thi puple.
May not you be angry O Yahweh up to muchness and may not for ever you remember iniquity here! look please [are] people your all of us.
10 The citee of thi seyntuarie is forsakun, Sion is maad deseert, Jerusalem is desolat;
[the] cities of Holiness your they have been a wilderness Zion a wilderness it has been Jerusalem [is] a desolation.
11 the hous of oure halewyng and of oure glorie, where oure fadris herieden thee, is maad in to brennyng of fier; and alle oure desirable thingis ben turned in to fallyngis.
[the] house of Holiness our and splendor our where they praised you ancestors our it has become a burning of fire and all pleasant things our it has become a ruin.
12 Lord, whether on these thingis thou schalt witholde thee? schalt thou be stille, and schalt thou turmente vs greetli?
¿ On these [things] will you restrain yourself O Yahweh will you be silent? and will you afflict? us up to muchness.
