< Isaiah 64 >

1 I wolde that thou brakist heuenes, and camest doun, that hillis fletiden awei fro thi face,
if to tear heaven to go down from face your mountain: mount to shake
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.
like/as to kindle fire brushwood water to enquire fire to/for to know name your to/for enemy your from face your nation to tremble
3 Whanne thou schalt do merueils, we schulen not abide. Thou camest doun, and hillis fletiden awei fro thi face.
in/on/with to make: do you to fear: revere not to await to go down from face your mountain: mount to shake
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 forever: antiquity not to hear: hear not to listen eye not to see: see God exception you to make: do to/for to wait to/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.
to fall on [obj] to rejoice and to make: do righteousness in/on/with way: conduct your to remember you look! you(m. s.) be angry and to sin in/on/with them forever: antiquity and to save
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 to be like/as unclean all our and like/as garment filth all righteousness our and to wither like/as leaf all our and iniquity: crime our like/as spirit: breath to lift: bear 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 nothing to call: call to in/on/with name your to rouse to/for to strengthen: hold in/on/with you for to hide face your from us and to melt us in/on/with hand: themselves iniquity: crime 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 LORD father our you(m. s.) we [the] clay and you(m. s.) to form: potter us and deed: work hand your all our
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.
not be angry LORD till much and not to/for perpetuity to remember iniquity: crime look! to look please people your all our
10 The citee of thi seyntuarie is forsakun, Sion is maad deseert, Jerusalem is desolat;
city holiness your to be wilderness Zion wilderness to be Jerusalem devastation
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.
house: temple holiness our and beauty our which to boast: praise you father our to be to/for fire fire and all desire our to be to/for desolation
12 Lord, whether on these thingis thou schalt witholde thee? schalt thou be stille, and schalt thou turmente vs greetli?
upon these to refrain LORD be silent and to afflict us till much
