CAP. XXXVIII.
1 In tho da&yogh;es sicnede Ezechie vnto
the deth; and wente in to hym Isaie, the
soun of Amos, the profete, and seide to
hym, These thingus seith the Lord, Dispose
to thin house, for die shalt thou,
and not lyuen.
2 And Ezechie turnede his
face to the wal, and honourede the Lord,
and seide, I `ynwardli pre&yogh;e, Lord;
3 haue
mynde, I beseche, what maner I &yogh;ide bifor
thee in treuthe, and in parfit herte,
and that is good in thin e&yogh;en, I dide.
And Ezechie wepte with gret weping.
4 And don is the wrd of the Lord to Isaie,
seiende,
5 Go, and sei to Ezechye, These
thingus seith the Lord God of Dauid, thi
-- --
fader, I haue herd thin orisoun, and seen
thi teres. Lo! I shal ley to vp on thi
da&yogh;es fiftene &yogh;er;
6 and fro the hond of the
king of Assiries I shal delyuere thee and
this cite, and I shal defenden it.
7 This
forsothe to thee shal ben a tocne fro the
Lord, for the Lord shal do this wrd that
he spac.
8 Loo! I shal make to turne a&yogh;een
the shadewe of lynes, bi the whiche it
hadde go doun in the oriloge of Acath,
in the sunne, bacward by ten lynes. And
the sunne is turned a&yogh;een bi ten lynes, bi
the grees that it hadde go doun.
9 The scripture of Ezechie, king of Juda,
whan he hadde be syc, and hadde
couered of his sycnesse.
10 I seide, in the myddel of my da&yogh;es I
shal go to the &yogh;ates of helle.
11 I so&yogh;te the
residue of my &yogh;eres; I seide, I shal not
see the Lord God in the lond of lyueres;
I shal not biholde a man more ouer, and
a dwellere of reste.
12 My ieneracioun is
taken awei, and al folden vp fro me, as a
tabernacle of shepherdes. Kut of is as of
a weuere my lif; whil &yogh;it I weuede, he
under kutte me. Fro erli vnto euen thou
shalt ende me;
13 I hopede vnto the moru;
as a leoun, so he to-brosede alle my
bones. Fro erli `vn to euen thou shalt
ende me;
14 as the brid of a swalewe, so I
shal crien; sweteli I shal thenke as a
culuer. Al to-feblid ben myn e&yogh;en, biholdende
vp in hei&yogh;te. Lord, fors I suffre,
answere thou for me;
15 what shal I
sey, or what shal answere to me, whan
I myself haue do? I shal eft thenke to
thee alle my &yogh;eres, in the bitternesse of
my soule.
16 Lord, if thus it is lyued, and
in suche thingus the lif of my spirit, thou
shalt chastise me, and quykene me; lo!
17
in pes my bitternesse most bitter. Thou
forsothe hast deliuered out my soule,
that it shulde not pershe; thou hast
throwe aferr bihinde thi bac alle my
synnus.
18 For helle shal not knouleche to
-- --
thee, nor deth shal preise thee; and thei
shul not abyden thi treuthe, that gon
doun in to the lake.
19 Lyuende, lyuende,
he shal knouleche to thee, as and I to
dai; the fader to the sonus knowe shal
make thi treuthe.
20 Lord, mac me saf,
and oure salmes wee shal singe alle the
da&yogh;es of oure lif in the hous of the
Lord.
21 And Isaie comaundide, that thei shulden
taken an hep of fyges, and thei
shulde make an enplastre vp on the
wounde; and he shulde ben hoel.
22 And
Ezechye seide, What shal be the tocne,
for I shal ste&yogh;e vp `in to the hous of the
Lord?
