Isaiah 9
1 In the firste tyme the lond of Zabulon and the lond of Neptalym was releessid; and at the laste the weie of the see biyende Jordan of Galile of hethene men was maad heuy.
但那受过痛苦的必不再见幽暗。 从前 神使西布伦地和拿弗他利地被藐视，末后却使这沿海的路，约旦河外，外邦人的加利利地得着荣耀。
2 The puple that yede in derknessis siy a greet liyt; whanne men dwelliden in the cuntre of schadewe of deth, liyt roos vp to hem.
在黑暗中行走的百姓看见了大光； 住在死荫之地的人有光照耀他们。
3 Thou multipliedist folk, thou magnefiedist not gladnesse; thei schulen be glad bifore thee, as thei that ben glad in heruest, as ouercomeris maken ful out ioie, whanne thei han take a prey, whanne thei departen the spuylis.
你使这国民繁多， 加增他们的喜乐； 他们在你面前欢喜， 好像收割的欢喜， 像人分掳物那样的快乐。
4 For thou hast ouercome the yok of his birthun, and the yerde of his schuldre, and the ceptre of his wrongful axere, as in the day of Madian.
因为他们所负的重轭 和肩头上的杖， 并欺压他们人的棍， 你都已经折断， 好像在米甸的日子一样。
5 For whi al violent raueyn with noise, and a cloth meddlid with blood schal be in to brennyng, and `schal be the mete of fier.
战士在乱杀之间所穿戴的盔甲， 并那滚在血中的衣服， 都必作为可烧的， 当作火柴。
6 Forsothe a litil child is borun to vs, and a sone is youun to vs, and prinsehod is maad on his schuldre; and his name schal be clepid Wondurful, A counselour, God, Strong, A fadir of the world to comynge, A prince of pees.
因有一婴孩为我们而生； 有一子赐给我们。 政权必担在他的肩头上； 他名称为“奇妙策士、全能的 神、永在的父、和平的君”。
7 His empire schal be multiplied, and noon ende schal be of his pees; he schal sitte on the seete of Dauid, and on the rewme of hym, that he conferme it, and make stronge in doom and riytfulnesse, fro hennus forth and til in to with outen ende. The feruent loue of the Lord of oostis schal make this.
他的政权与平安必加增无穷。 他必在大卫的宝座上治理他的国， 以公平公义使国坚定稳固， 从今直到永远。 万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事。
8 The Lord sente a word in to Jacob, and it felle in Israel.
主使一言入于雅各家， 落于以色列家。
9 And al the puple of Effraym schal wite, and thei that dwellen in Samarie, seiynge in the pride and greetnesse of herte,
这众百姓，就是以法莲 和撒马利亚的居民，都要知道； 他们凭骄傲自大的心说：
10 Tijl stoonys fellen doun, but we schulen bilde with square stoonys; thei han kit doun sicomoris, but we schulen chaunge cedris.
砖墙塌了，我们却要凿石头建筑； 桑树砍了，我们却要换香柏树。
11 And the Lord schal reise the enemyes of Rasyn on hym, and he schal turne the enemyes of hym in to noyse;
因此，耶和华要高举利汛的敌人 来攻击以色列， 并要激动以色列的仇敌。
12 God schal make Sirie to come fro the eest, and Filisteis fro the west; and with al the mouth thei schulen deuoure Israel. In alle these thingis the stronge veniaunce of the Lord is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth;
东有亚兰人，西有非利士人； 他们张口要吞吃以色列。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
13 and the puple is not turned ayen to the Lord smytynge it, and thei souyten not the Lord of oostis.
这百姓还没有归向击打他们的主， 也没有寻求万军之耶和华。
14 And the Lord schal leese fro Israel the heed and the tail; crokynge and bischrewynge, ether refreynynge, in o dai.
因此，耶和华一日之间 必从以色列中剪除头与尾， 棕枝与芦苇—
15 An elde man and onourable, he is the heed, and a profete techynge a leesyng, he is the tail.
长老和尊贵人就是头， 以谎言教人的先知就是尾。
16 And thei that blessen his puple, schulen be disseyueris, and thei that ben blessid, schulen be cast doun.
因为，引导这百姓的使他们走错了路； 被引导的都必败亡。
17 For this thing the Lord schal not be glad on the yonge men therof, and he schal not haue merci on the fadirles children and widewis therof; for ech man is an ypocrite and weiward, and ech mouth spak foli. In alle these thingis the stronge veniaunce of hym is not turned awei, but yit his hond is stretchid forth;
所以，主必不喜悦他们的少年人， 也不怜恤他们的孤儿寡妇； 因为，各人是亵渎的，是行恶的， 并且各人的口都说愚妄的话。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
18 and the puple is not turned ayen to the Lord smytynge it. For whi wickidnesse is kyndlid as fier; it schal deuoure the breris and thornes, and it schal be kyndlid in the thickenesse of the forest, and it schal be wlappid togidere in the pride of smoke.
邪恶像火焚烧， 烧灭荆棘和蒺藜， 在稠密的树林中着起来， 就成为烟柱，旋转上腾。
19 In the wraththe of the Lord of oostis the lond schal be disturblid, and the puple schal be as the mete of fier; a man schal not spare his brothir.
因万军之耶和华的烈怒，地都烧遍； 百姓成为火柴； 无人怜爱弟兄。
20 And he schal boowe to the riyt half, and he schal hungre, and he schal ete at the left half, and he schal not be fillid; ech man schal deuoure the fleisch of his arm. Manasses schal deuoure Effraym, and Effraym `schal deuoure Manasses, and thei togidere ayens Juda.
有人右边抢夺，仍受饥饿， 左边吞吃，仍不饱足； 各人吃自己膀臂上的肉。
21 In alle these thingis the strong veniaunce of hym is not turned awei, but yit his hoond is stretchid forth.
玛拿西吞吃以法莲； 以法莲吞吃玛拿西， 又一同攻击犹大。 虽然如此，耶和华的怒气还未转消； 他的手仍伸不缩。
