CAP. III.
1 noteLord, Y herde thi heerynge, and Y
dredde;
2 Lord, thi werke, in the mydil
of &yogh;eeris quyckene thou it. In the mydil
of &yogh;eeris thou shalt make knowen;
whan thou shalt be wrothe, thou shalt
recorde of mercy.
3 God shal cum fro the
south, and the holy fro the mount of
Pharan. The glorie of hym keuerde heuen,
and the erthe is ful of his herying.
4 The shynyng shal be as li&yogh;t; hornys in
hondis of hym.
5 There the strengthe of
hym is hid, byfore his face deth shal go;
the deuyl shal go out bifore his feet.
6 He
stode, and matte the erthe; he bihelde,
and vnboonde folkis, and hillis of the
world ben broken to gydre; the litil hillis
-- --
of the world ben bowid doun, of the
wayes of his euerlastingnesse.
7 For wickidnesse
Y saw&yogh; the tentis of Ethiopie,
the skynnes of lond of Madian shuln be
trublid.
8 Lord, wher in flodis thou art
wrothe, or in flodis thi woodnesse, or in
the se thin indignacioun? Whiche shalt
stye vp thin horsis; and thi foure horsid
cartis saluacioun.
9 Thou reysynge shalt
reyse thi bowe, othis to lynagis whiche
thou hast spoken; thou shalt kitte flodis
of erthe.
10 Watris sawen thee, and hillis
sorewiden, the guter of waters passide;
depnesse &yogh;af his voice, hee&yogh;nesse reyside
his hondis.
11 Sunne and mone stoden in
her dwellynge; in the li&yogh;t of thin arewis
thei shuln goo, in the shynynge of thi
spere smytynge.
12 In beting of teeth thou
shalt defoule erthe, and in wodnesse
thou shalt astoneye folkis.
13 Thou art gon
out in to helthe of thi peple, in to helthe
with thi crist; thou hast smyten the heued
of the hous of the vnpitouse man, thou
hast made nakid the foundement vn to
the neckus.
14 Thou cursidist the sceptris,
or powers, of hym, the hed of his fi&yogh;ters,
cummynge as whirlwynde for to scatere
me; the ioyinge with outforth of hem, as
of hym that deuourith a pore man in
hidils.
15 Thou madist a weye in the se
to thin horsis, in cleye of manye waters.
16 Y herde, and my wombe is to gydre
trublid; of the voice my lippis trembleden
to gydre. Rott entre in to my
boonys, and boyle, or sprynge, vndir me;
and Y shal reste a&yogh;ein in the day of tribulacioun,
and Y shal stey vp to oure
peple girde to gydre.
17 Forsothe the fijge
tree shal not florishe, and buriownyng
shal not be in vyne &yogh;erdis; the werk of
the olyue shal lee&yogh;e, and feeldis shuln
not brynge to mete; a sheep shal be kitt
of fro the folde, and a drooue shal not
be in the cratchis.
18 Forsothe Y shal haue
ioye in the Lord, and Y shal ioye with
outeforth in God my Jhesu.
19 God the
-- --
Lord my strengthe, and he shal putte
my feet as of hertis; and vpon myn hee&yogh;
thingus, the ouercummer shal leede me
forth, singynge in psalmes.
Here endith the book of Abacuk, the
prophete, and bigynneth the book of
Sophonye, prophete.
