CAP. I.
1 The charge that Abacuk, prophete,
saw.
2 Hou lounge, Lord, shal Y crye, and
thou shalt not heere graciously? Y suffringe
violence shal crie on hee&yogh;, and
shalt thou not saue?
3 Whi shewidist
thou to me wickidnesse and traueile, for
to see pray and vnri&yogh;twisnesse a&yogh;einus
me? Whi biholdist thou dispisers, and
art stille, the vnpitouse man defoulyng a
iuster than hym? And thou shalt make
men as fishis of the se, and as crepynge
thingis not hauynge duyk; and dom is
maad, and a&yogh;einsayinge more mi&yogh;ty.
4 For this thing law is to-broken, and dom
cummeth not vn to the eende; for vnpitous
man hath mi&yogh;t a&yogh;einus the iust,
therfore weywerd dom shal go out.
5 Biholde
&yogh;e in hethen men, and see &yogh;e, and
wondre &yogh;ee, and gretely dreede &yogh;ee; for a
worke is don in &yogh;our days, whiche no man
shal byleeue, whan it shal be told.
6 For
loo! Y shal reyse Caldeis, a bitter folk
and swift, goynge vpon the breed of
erthe, that he weelde tabernaclis not his.
7 He is orrible, and dreedeful; of hym self
dome, and his charge shal go out.
8 His
horsis li&yogh;ter than pardis, and swifter than
euyn wolues, and his horsmen shuln be
-- --
scatrid abrode; for whi horsmen shuln
cum fro fer, thei shuln flee as an egle
hastynge to ete.
9 Alle men shuln cume
to preye, the face of hem as brennynge
wynde; and he shal gadre as grauel caitiftee.
10 And he shal haue victorie of
kyngis, and tirauntis shuln be his lei&yogh;ingis;
he shal lei&yogh;e vpon al strengthe,
and shal bere to gidre an hepe of erthe,
and shal take it.
11 Thanne the spirit of
hym shal be chaungid, and he shal passe
by, and falle to gydre; this is the
strengthe of hym, of his god.
12 Wher
not thou fro bigynnynge, Lord my God,
myn holy, and we shuln not dye? Lord,
in to dome thou hast putte hym, and
thou groundidist hym strong, that thou
shuldist chastise.
13 Thyn ee&yogh;en ben cleene,
see thou not yuel, and thou shalt not
mow biholde to wickidnesse. Whi biholdist
thou not vpon men doynge wickidly,
and thou art stille, the vnpytouse
man deuourynge a more iust than hym?
14 And thou shalt make men as fishis of
the se, and as crepynge thing not hauynge
prince.
15 Alle in hooke he shal lifte
vp; he drawide it in his nett, and gadride
in to his net; vpon this thing he shal
glade, and ioye with out forth.
16 Therfore
he shal offre to his nett, and he shal
make sacrifice to his nett; for in hem his
part is maad fatt, and his mete chosen.
17 Therfore for this thing he spredith
abrood his nett, and euermore he shal
not spare for to slea folkis.
