1 onus Damasci ecce Damascus desinet esse civitas et erit sicut acervus lapidum in ruina
The birthun of Damask. Lo! Damask schal faile to be a citee, and it schal be as an heep of stoonys in fallyng.
2 derelictae civitates Aroer gregibus erunt et requiescent ibi et non erit qui exterreat
The forsakun citees of Aroer schulen be to flockis; and tho schulen reste there, and noon schal be that schal make aferd.
3 et cessabit adiutorium ab Ephraim et regnum a Damasco et reliquiae Syriae sicut gloria filiorum Israhel erunt dicit Dominus exercituum
And help schal ceesse fro Effraym, and a rewme fro Damask; and the relifs of Sirie schulen be as the glorie of the sones of Israel, seith the Lord of oostis.
4 et erit in die illa adtenuabitur gloria Iacob et pingue carnis eius marcescet
And it schal be, in that dai the glorie of Jacob schal be maad thinne, and the fatnesse of his fleisch shal fade.
5 et erit sicut congregans in messe quod restiterit et brachium eius spicas leget et erit sicut quaerens spicas in valle Rafaim
And it schal be as gaderyng togidere that that is left in heruest, and his arm schal gadere eeris of corn, and it schal be as sekynge eeris of corn in the valei of Raphaym.
6 et relinquetur in eo sicut racemus et sicut excussio oleae duarum aut trium olivarum in summitate rami sive quattuor aut quinque in cacuminibus eius fructus eius dicit Dominus Deus Israhel
And there schal be left in it as a rasyn, and as the schakyng doun of the fruyt of olyue tre, as of tweyne ether of thre olyue trees in the hiynesse of a braunche, ether of foure ether of fyue; in the cooppis therof schal be the fruyt therof, seith the Lord God of Israel.
7 in die illa inclinabitur homo ad factorem suum et oculi eius ad Sanctum Israhel respicient
In that dai a man schal be bowid to his maker, and hise iyen schulen biholde to the hooli of Israel.
8 et non inclinabitur ad altaria quae fecerunt manus eius et quae operati sunt digiti eius non respiciet lucos et delubra
And he schal not be bowid to the auteris, whiche hise hondis maden, and whiche hise fyngris wrouyten; he schal not biholde wodis, and templis of idols.
9 in die illa erunt civitates fortitudinis eius derelictae sicut aratra et segetes quae derelictae sunt a facie filiorum Israhel et erit deserta
In that dai the citees of strengthe therof schulen be forsakun as plowis, and cornes that weren forsakun of the face of the sones of Israel; and thou schalt be forsakun.
10 quia oblita es Dei salvatoris tui et Fortis adiutoris tui non es recordata propterea plantabis plantationem fidelem et germen alienum seminabis
For thou hast foryete God, thi sauyour, and haddist not mynde on thi stronge helpere; therfor thou schalt plaunte a feithful plauntyng, and thou schalt sowe an alien seed.
11 in die plantationis tuae labrusca et mane semen tuum florebit ablata est messis in die hereditatis et dolebit graviter
In the dai of thi plauntyng schal be a wielde vyne, and erli thi seed schal floure; ripe corne is takun awei in the dai of eritage, and Israel schal make sorewe greuousli.
12 vae multitudo populorum multorum ut multitudo maris sonantis et tumultus turbarum sicut sonitus aquarum multarum
Wo to the multitude of many puplis, as the multitude of the see sownynge, and the noise of cumpenyes as the sown of many watris.
13 sonabunt populi sicut sonitus aquarum inundantium et increpabit eum et fugiet procul et rapietur sicut pulvis montium a facie venti et sicut turbo coram tempestate
Puplis schulen sowne as the sown of flowynge watris, and God schal blame hym; and he schal fle fer, and he schal be rauyschid as the dust of hillis fro the face of the wynd, and as a whirlewynd bifor tempest.
14 in tempore vespere et ecce turbatio in matutino et non subsistet haec est pars eorum qui vastaverunt nos et sors diripientium nos
In the time of euentide, and lo! disturbling; in the morewtid, and he schal not abide. This is the part of hem that destrieden vs, and the part of hem that rauyschiden vs.
