CAP. IX.
1 The firste tyme is allegid, `or maad
li&yogh;t, the lond of Zabulon and the lond of
Neptalym; and the laste tyme agreggid
is the weie of the se be&yogh;unde Jordan of
Galilee of Jentiles.
2 The puple that wente
in derknesses sa&yogh; a gret li&yogh;t; to the men
dwellende in the regioun of the shadewe
of deth, li&yogh;t sprungen is to them.
3 Thou
hast multeplyed the folc of kinde, not
magnefiedist gladnesse; thei shul glade
bifor thee, as thei that gladen in rip, as
-- --
ful out io&yogh;en ouercomeres, the prey taken,
whan thei deuyden spoiles.
4 The &yogh;oc forsothe
of his charge, and the &yogh;erde of
his shulder, and the kingus power of his
`wrong asker thou ouercame, as in the
dai of Madian.
5 For eche violent reuyng
with noise, and clothing mengd with blod
shal be in to brennyng, and mete of fyr.
6 A litil child forsothe is born to vs, and
a sone is &yogh;oue to vs, and mad is princehed
vp on his shulder; and his name shal
be clepid Merueilous, Counseiler, God,
Strong, Fadir of the world to come, Prince
of pes.
7 His empire shal be multeplied,
and of pes ther shal not ben ende; vp on
the see of Dauid, and vpon his regne he
shal sitte, that he conferme it, and
strengthe in dom and ri&yogh;twyssnesse, fro
now and unto withoute ende. The
huge looue of the Lord of ostes shal don
this.
8 A wrd the Lord sente in to Jacob,
and it fel in Irael.
9 And al the puple
of Effraym shal wite, and the men dwellende
Samarie, in pride and gretnesse `of
herte seiende,
10 Sclattes fellen, but with
square stones wee shul bilden vp; sicomore
trees thei hewen doun, but ceder
trees wee shul newen, `or chaungen.
11 And the Lord shal reren enemys Rasyn
vpon hym, and his enemys in to noise he
shal turne,
12 Cirie fro the est, and Filisteyn
fro the west; and thei shul deuoure
Irael with al the mouth. In alle thes
thingus is not turned awei the wodnesse
of hym, but &yogh;it his hond stra&yogh;t out;
13 and the puple is not turned a&yogh;een to the
smytende hym, and the Lord of ostes thei
inwardlyche so&yogh;ten not.
14 And the Lord
shal scatere fro Irael the hed and the
tail, the inbowende and the shrewende, in
o day.
15 The longe lyuende and the wrshepefull,
he is the hed, and the profete techende
lesyng, he is the tail.
16 And thei shul
be, that maken blisful this puple, bigilende;
and that ben mad blisful, throwe
-- --
doun.
17 For that vp on the &yogh;unge waxen
men of hym the Lord shal not deliten,
and of his faderles childer and widewis
he shal not han mercy; for eche ipocrite
is and a shrewe, and eche mouth spac
folie. In alle thes thingus is not turned
a wei his wodnesse, but &yogh;it his hond
stra&yogh;t out;
18 and the puple is not turned
a&yogh;een to the smytende hym. Tend vp
is forsothe as fyr vnpitousnesse; thoo
breres and the thorne it shal deuoure,
and it shal be brend vp in the thickenes
of the wilde wode, and it shal be al towrappid
in the pride of the smoke.
19 In
the wrathe of the Lord of ostes al disturbid
shal be the lond, and the puple
shal be as the mete of fyr; a man to
his brother shal not spare.
20 And he shal
bowe doun to the ri&yogh;t, and hungren, and
he shal ete at the lift, and not be fulfild;
eche the flesh of his arm shal deuoure.
Manasses Effraym, and Effraym Manasses,
and togidere thei a&yogh;en Judam.
21 In alle these thyngus is not turned awei
his wodnesse, but &yogh;it his hond stra&yogh;t out.
