CAP. I.
1 The charge of Nynyue; the boke of
visioun of Naum Helchesey.
2 The Lord
a louer, and the Lord vengeynge; the
Lord vengynge, and hauynge woodnesse;
the Lord vengynge in to his enmyes, and
he wrathinge to his enmyes.
3 The Lord
pacient, and grete in strengthe, and he
clensynge shal not make innocent. The
Lord in tempest, and in whirlwynd the
wayes of hym, and cloudis dust of his
feet;
4 blamynge the see, and dryinge it,
and bryngynge alle flodis to desert. Basan
is maad seek, and Carmele, and the
flour of Liban langwishide.
5 Mounteyns
ben moued to gidre of hym, and litil
hillis ben desolate. And the erthe tremblide
to gydre fro the face of hym, and
the roundnesse of erthe, and alle the
dwellyng theryn.
6 Bifore the face of his
indignacioun who shal stonde? and who
shal a&yogh;ein stonde in the wrath of his
woodnesse? His indignacioun is shed
out as fijre, and stoonus ben dissolued, or
broken, of hym.
7 The Lord good, and
coumfortynge in the day of tribulacioun,
and he knowynge men hoopynge in hym.
8 And in grete floode passynge by, he shal
make eende of his place; and dercnessis
shuln pursue his enmyes.
9 What thinken
&yogh;e a&yogh;einus the Lord? He shal make eend;
double tribulacioun shal not ryse to gydre.
10 For as thornys biclippen hem to
-- --
gydre, so the feest of hem drynkynge
to gydre shal be eendid, as stoble ful of
drynesse.
11 Forsothe of thee shal go out
the thynkynge malice a&yogh;einus the Lord,
in soule, or mynde, tretynge trespassyng.
12 These thingus saith the Lord, &YOGH;if thei
shuln be perfit, and so mo, and thus thei
shuln be clippid, and it shal passe by.
Y tourmentide thee, and Y shal namore
tourmente thee.
13 And now Y shal to
gydre breke the &yogh;erd of hym of thi bac,
and Y shal breke thi boondis.
14 And the
Lord shal comaunde on thee, it shal namore
be sown of thi name. Of the hous
of thi god Y shal slea; a sculptil, or
grauen ymage, and wellid to gydre, Y
shal putte thi sepulcre, for thou art vnwirshipid.
15 Loo! on hillis the feet of
euangelizinge and tellynge pees. Juda,
halewe thou thi feest days, and &yogh;eelde
thi vowis, for he shal namore putte to,
that he passe by in thee; al Belial
perishide.
