CAP. LIII.
1 Who bileuyde to oure heryng? and to
whom is the arm of the Lord schewide?
2 And he schal stie as a &yogh;erde bifore hym,
and as a roote fro thirsti lond. And nether
schap nether fairnesse was to hym;
and we sien hym, and no biholdyng
was;
3 and we desiriden hym, dispisid, and
the laste of men, a man of sorewis, and
knowynge sikenesse. And his cheer was
as hid and dispisid; wherfor and we arettiden
not hym.
4 Verili he suffride oure
sikenessis, and he bar oure sorewis; and
we arettiden hym as a mesel, and smytun
of God, and maad low.
5 Forsothe he was
woundid for oure wickidnessis, he was defoulid
for oure greet trespassis; the lernyng
of oure pees was on hym, and we
ben maad hool bi his wannesse.
6 Alle we
erriden as scheep, ech man bowide in to
his owne weie, and the Lord puttide in
hym the wickidnesse of vs alle.
7 He was
offrid, for he wolde, and he openyde not
his mouth; as a scheep he schal be led to
sleyng, and he schal be doumb as a lomb
bifore hym that clippith it, and he schal
not opene his mouth.
8 He is takun awey
fro angwisch and fro doom; who schal
telle out the generacioun of hym? For he
was kit doun fro the lond of lyueris. Y
smoot hym for the greet trespas of my
puple.
9 And he schal &yogh;yue vnfeithful men
-- --
for biriyng, and riche men for his deth;
for he dide not wickidnesse, nether gile
was in his mouth;
10 and the Lord wolde
defoule hym in sikenesse. If he puttith
his lijf for synne, he schal se seed long
durynge, and the wille of the Lord schal
be dressid in his hond.
11 For that that his
soule trauelide, he schal se, and schal be
fillid. Thilke my iust seruaunt schal iustifie
many men in his kunnyng, and he
schal bere the wickidnessis of hem.
12 Therfor
Y schal &yogh;elde, ethir dele, to hym ful
many men, and he schal departe the
spuilis of the stronge feendis; for that
that he &yogh;af his lijf in to deth, and was
arettid with felenouse men; and he dide
a wei the synne of many men, and he
preiede for trespassouris.
