Jeremiah 20

1 And Phassur, the sone of Emyner, the preest, that was ordeyned prince in the hous of the Lord, herde Jeremye profesiynge these wordis.

And he heard Pashhur [the] son of Immer the priest and he [was] an officer a chief in [the] house of Yahweh Jeremiah prophesying the words these.

2 And Phassur smoot Jeremye, the profete, and sente hym in to the stockis, that weren in the hiyere yate of Beniamyn, in the hous of the Lord.

And he struck Pashhur Jeremiah the prophet and he put him on the stock[s] which [was] at [the] gate of Benjamin upper which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh.

3 And whanne it was cleer in the morewe, Phassur ledde Jeremye out of the stockis. And Jeremye seide to hym, The Lord clepide not Phassur thi name, but Drede on ech side.

And it was from [the] next day and he brought out Pashhur Jeremiah from the stock[s] and he said to him Jeremiah not Pashhur he has called Yahweh name your that except Terror from around.

4 For the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue thee and alle thi freendis in to drede, and thei schulen falle doun bi the swerd of her enemyes; and thin iyen schulen se; and Y schal yyue al Juda in the hond of the king of Babiloyne, and he schal lede hem ouer in to Babiloyne, and he schal smyte hem bi swerd.

For thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to make you into a terror to yourself and to all friends your and they will fall by [the] sword of enemies their and eyes your [will be] looking and all Judah I will give in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will take into exile them Babylon towards and he will strike down them with the sword.

5 And Y schal yyue al the catel of this citee, and al the trauel therof, and al the prijs; and Y schal yyue alle the tresours of the kingis of Juda in the hond of her enemyes; and thei schulen rauysche tho, and schulen take, and lede forth in to Babiloyne.

And I will give all [the] wealth of the city this and all property its and every precious thing its and all [the] treasures of [the] kings of Judah I will give in [the] hand of enemies their and they will plunder them and they will take them and they will bring them Babylon towards.

6 Forsothe thou, Phassur, and alle the dwelleris of thin hous, schulen go in to caitifte; and thou schalt come in to Babiloyne, and thou schalt die there; and thou schalt be biried there, thou and alle thi freendis, to whiche thou profesiedist a leesyng.

And you O Pashhur and all [those who] dwell of house your you will go in captivity and Babylon you will go and there you will die and there you will be buried you and all friends your whom you prophesied to them with falsehood.

7 Lord, thou disseyuedist me, and Y am disseyued; thou were strongere than Y, and thou haddist the maistrie; Y am maad in to scorn al dai.

You deceived me O Yahweh and I was deceived you prevailed over me and you prevailed I have become a laughing stock all the day all of it [is] mocking me.

8 Alle men bymowen me, for now a while ago Y speke criynge wickidnesse, and Y criede distriynge. And the word of the Lord is maad to me in to schenschip, and in to scorn al dai.

For as often as I speak I cry out violence and havoc I proclaim for it has become [the] word of Yahweh for me a reproach and derision all the day.

9 And Y seide, Y schal not haue mynde on hym, and Y schal no more speke in his name. And the word of the Lord was maad, as fier swalynge in myn herte, and cloosid in my boonys; and Y failide, not suffryng to bere.

And I will say not I will remember him and not I will speak again in name his and it will become in heart my like a fire burning shut up in bones my and I will be weary to hold [it] in and not I will be able.

10 For Y herde dispisyngis of many men, and drede in cumpas, Pursue ye, and pursue we hym, of alle men that weren pesible to me, and kepynge my side; if in ony maner he be disseyued, and we haue the maistrie ayens hym, and gete veniaunce of hym.

For I have heard [the] whispering of many [people] terror [is] from round about tell and let us tell about him every person of peace my [are] [the] watchers of stumbling my perhaps he will be deceived and we will prevail to him and we will take vengeance our from him.

11 Forsothe the Lord as a stronge werriour is with me, therfor thei that pursuen me schulen falle, and schulen be sijk; and thei schulen be schent greetli, for thei vndurstoden not euerlastynge schenschip, that schal neuere be don awei.

And Yahweh [is] with me like a warrior ruthless there-fore persecutors my they will stumble and not they will prevail they will be ashamed exceedingly for not they will succeed ignominy of perpetuity not it will be forgotten.

12 And thou, Lord of oostis, the preuere of a iust man, which seest the reynes and herte, Y biseche, se Y thi veniaunce of hem; for Y haue schewid my cause to thee.

And O Yahweh of hosts [who] tests [the] righteous [who] sees kidneys and heart let me see vengeance your from them for to you I have made known case my.

13 Synge ye to the Lord, herie ye the Lord, for he delyueride the soule of a pore man fro the hond of yuel men.

Sing to Yahweh praise Yahweh for he has delivered [the] life of [the] needy from [the] hand of evil-doers.

14 Cursid be the dai where ynne Y was borun, the dai where ynne my modir childide me, be not blessid.

[is] cursed The day when I was born on it [the] day when she bore me mother my may not it be blessed.

15 Cursid be the man, that telde to my fadir, and seide, A knaue child is borun to thee, and made hym glad as with ioye.

[be] cursed The person who he bore [the] news father my saying he has been born to you a son a male surely he made rejoice him.

16 Thilke man be as the citees ben, whiche the Lord distriede, and it repentide not hym;

And he will be the person that like the cities which he overthrew Yahweh and not he had compassion and he will hear a cry of distress in the morning and a shout of alarm at [the] time of noon.

17 he that killide not me fro the wombe, here cry eerli, and yellynge in the tyme of myddai; that my modir were a sepulcre to me, and hir wombe were euerlastinge conseyuyng.

That not he killed me from [the] womb and she became for me mother my grave my and womb her [was] pregnant of perpetuity.

18 Whi yede Y out of the wombe, that Y schulde se trauel and sorewe, and that mi daies schulen be waastid in schenschipe?

Why? this from [the] womb did I come forth to see trouble and sorrow and they have come to an end in shame days my.
