| וַיֹּ֥סֶף אֱלִיה֗וּא וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ | 1 |
Also Helyu addide, and spak these thingis,
| כַּתַּר־לִ֣י זְ֭עֵיר וַאֲחַוֶּ֑ךָּ כִּ֤י עֹ֖וד לֶאֱלֹ֣והַּ מִלִּֽים׃ | 2 |
Suffre thou me a litil, and Y schal schewe to thee; for yit Y haue that, that Y schal speke for God.
| אֶשָּׂ֣א דֵ֭עִי לְמֵרָחֹ֑וק וְ֝לְפֹעֲלִ֗י אֶֽתֵּֽן־צֶֽדֶק׃ | 3 |
Y schal reherse my kunnyng fro the bigynnyng; and Y schal preue my worchere iust.
| כִּֽי־אָ֭מְנָם לֹא־שֶׁ֣קֶר מִלָּ֑י תְּמִ֖ים דֵּעֹ֣ות עִמָּֽךְ׃ | 4 |
For verili my wordis ben with out leesyng, and perfit kunnyng schal be preued to thee.
| הֶן־אֵ֣ל כַּ֭בִּיר וְלֹ֣א יִמְאָ֑ס כַּ֝בִּ֗יר כֹּ֣חַֽ לֵֽב׃ | 5 |
God castith not awei myyti men, sithen he is myyti;
| לֹא־יְחַיֶּ֥ה רָשָׁ֑ע וּמִשְׁפַּ֖ט עֲנִיִּ֣ים יִתֵּֽן׃ | 6 |
but he saueth not wickid men, and he yyueth dom to pore men.
| לֹֽא־יִגְרַ֥ע מִצַּדִּ֗יק עֵ֫ינָ֥יו וְאֶת־מְלָכִ֥ים לַכִּסֵּ֑א וַיֹּשִׁיבֵ֥ם לָ֝נֶ֗צַח וַיִּגְבָּֽהוּ׃ | 7 |
He takith not awei hise iyen fro a iust man; and he settith kyngis in seete with out ende, and thei ben reisid there.
| וְאִם־אֲסוּרִ֥ים בַּזִּקִּ֑ים יִ֝לָּכְד֗וּן בְּחַבְלֵי־עֹֽנִי׃ | 8 |
And if thei ben in chaynes, and ben boundun with the roopis of pouert,
| וַיַּגֵּ֣ד לָהֶ֣ם פָּעֳלָ֑ם וּ֝פִשְׁעֵיהֶ֗ם כִּ֣י יִתְגַּבָּֽרוּ׃ | 9 |
he schal shewe to hem her werkis, and her grete trespassis; for thei weren violent, `ethir rauenours.
| וַיִּ֣גֶל אָ֭זְנָם לַמּוּסָ֑ר וַ֝יֹּ֗אמֶר כִּֽי־יְשֻׁב֥וּן מֵאָֽוֶן׃ | 10 |
Also he schal opene her eere, that he chastise; and he schal speke, that thei turne ayen fro wickidnesse.
| אִֽם־יִשְׁמְע֗וּ וְֽיַ֫עֲבֹ֥דוּ יְכַלּ֣וּ יְמֵיהֶ֣ם בַּטֹּ֑וב וּ֝שְׁנֵיהֶ֗ם בַּנְּעִימִֽים׃ | 11 |
If thei heren, and kepen, thei schulen fille her daies in good, and her yeris in glorie.
| וְאִם־לֹ֣א יִ֭שְׁמְעוּ בְּשֶׁ֣לַח יַעֲבֹ֑רוּ וְ֝יִגְוְע֗וּ כִּבְלִי־דָֽעַת׃ | 12 |
Sotheli if thei heren not, thei schulen passe bi swerd, and thei schulen be wastid in foli.
| וְֽחַנְפֵי־לֵ֭ב יָשִׂ֣ימוּ אָ֑ף לֹ֥א יְ֝שַׁוְּע֗וּ כִּ֣י אֲסָרָֽם׃ | 13 |
Feyneris and false men stiren the ire of God; and thei schulen not crye, whanne thei ben boundun.
| תָּמֹ֣ת בַּנֹּ֣עַר נַפְשָׁ֑ם וְ֝חַיָּתָ֗ם בַּקְּדֵשִֽׁים׃ | 14 |
The soule of hem schal die in tempest; and the lijf of hem among `men of wymmens condiciouns.
| יְחַלֵּ֣ץ עָנִ֣י בְעָנְיֹ֑ו וְיִ֖גֶל בַּלַּ֣חַץ אָזְנָֽם׃ | 15 |
He schal delyuere a pore man fro his angwisch; and he schal opene `the eere of hym in tribulacioun.
| וְאַ֤ף הֲסִיתְךָ֨ ׀ מִפִּי־צָ֗ר רַ֭חַב לֹא־מוּצָ֣ק תַּחְתֶּ֑יהָ וְנַ֥חַת שֻׁ֝לְחָנְךָ֗ מָ֣לֵא דָֽשֶׁן׃ | 16 |
Therfor he schal saue thee fro the streit mouth of the broddeste tribulacioun, and not hauynge a foundement vndur it; sotheli the rest of thi table schal be ful of fatnesse.
| וְדִין־רָשָׁ֥ע מָלֵ֑אתָ דִּ֖ין וּמִשְׁפָּ֣ט יִתְמֹֽכוּ׃ | 17 |
Thi cause is demed as the cause of a wickid man; forsothe thou schalt resseyue thi cause and doom.
| כִּֽי־חֵ֭מָה פֶּן־יְסִֽיתְךָ֣ בְסָ֑פֶק וְרָב־כֹּ֝֗פֶר אַל־יַטֶּֽךָּ׃ | 18 |
Therfor ire ouercome thee not, that thou oppresse ony man; and the multitude of yiftis bowe thee not.
| הֲיַעֲרֹ֣ךְ שׁ֖וּעֲךָ לֹ֣א בְצָ֑ר וְ֝כֹ֗ל מַאֲמַצֵּי־כֹֽחַ׃ | 19 |
Putte doun thi greetnesse with out tribulacioun, and putte doun alle stronge men bi strengthe.
| אַל־תִּשְׁאַ֥ף הַלָּ֑יְלָה לַעֲלֹ֖ות עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם׃ | 20 |
Dilaie thou not nyyt, that puplis stie for hem.
| הִ֭שָּׁמֶר אַל־תֵּ֣פֶן אֶל־אָ֑וֶן כִּֽי־עַל־זֶ֝֗ה בָּחַ֥רְתָּ מֵעֹֽנִי׃ | 21 |
Be thou war, that thou bowe not to wickidnesse; for thou hast bigunne to sue this wickidnesse aftir wretchidnesse.
| הֶן־אֵ֭ל יַשְׂגִּ֣יב בְּכֹחֹ֑ו מִ֖י כָמֹ֣הוּ מֹורֶֽה׃ | 22 |
Lo! God is hiy in his strengthe, and noon is lijk hym among the yyueris of lawe.
| מִֽי־פָקַ֣ד עָלָ֣יו דַּרְכֹּ֑ו וּמִֽי־אָ֝מַ֗ר פָּעַ֥לְתָּ עַוְלָֽה׃ | 23 |
Who mai seke out the weies of God? ethir who dar seie to hym, Thou hast wrouyt wickidnesse?
| זְ֭כֹר כִּֽי־תַשְׂגִּ֣יא פָעֳלֹ֑ו אֲשֶׁ֖ר שֹׁרְר֣וּ אֲנָשִֽׁים׃ | 24 |
Haue thou mynde, that thou knowist not his werk, of whom men sungun.
| כָּל־אָדָ֥ם חָֽזוּ־בֹ֑ו אֱ֝נֹ֗ושׁ יַבִּ֥יט מֵרָחֹֽוק׃ | 25 |
Alle men seen God; ech man biholdith afer.
| הֶן־אֵ֣ל שַׂ֭גִּיא וְלֹ֣א נֵדָ֑ע מִסְפַּ֖ר שָׁנָ֣יו וְלֹא־חֵֽקֶר׃ | 26 |
Lo! God is greet, ouercomynge oure kunnyng; the noumbre of hise yeeris is with out noumbre.
| כִּ֭י יְגָרַ֣ע נִטְפֵי־מָ֑יִם יָזֹ֖קּוּ מָטָ֣ר לְאֵדֹֽו׃ | 27 |
