1 And it was don in the daies of Achas,
the sone of Joathan, the sone of Osias,
kyng of Juda, Rasyn, the kyng of Sirie,
and Facee, the sone of Romelie, the kyng
of Israel, stieden to Jerusalem, for to fi&yogh;te
a&yogh;ens it; and thei my&yogh;ten not ouercome it.
2 And thei telden to the hous of Dauid, and
-- --
seiden, Sirie hath restid note on Effraym, and
the herte of hym and of his puple was
mouyd togidere, as the trees of wodis ben
mouyd of the face of the wynd.
3 And the
Lord seide to Isaie, Go thou out, and Jasub,
thi sone, which is left, in to the meetyng
of Achas, at the laste ende of the
water cundijt of the hi&yogh;ere cisterne, in the
weie of the feeld of the fullere.
4 And thou
schalt seie to hym, Se thou, that thou be
stille note; nyle thou drede, and thin herte
be not aferd of twei tailis of these
brondis smokynge in the wraththe of
woodnesse, of Rasyn, kynge of Sirie, and
of the sone of Romelye.
5 For Sirie, and
Effraym, and the sone of Romelie, han
bigunne yuel councel a&yogh;ens thee, and seien,
Stie we to Juda,
6 and reise we hym, and
drawe we hym out to vs; and sette we a
kyng in the myddis therof, the sone of
Tabeel note.
7 The Lord God seith these
thingis, This schal not be, and it schal
not stonde;
8 but Damask schal be the
heed of Sirie, and Rasyn `schal be the
heed of Damask; and &yogh;it sixti &yogh;eer and
fiue, and Effraym schal faile to be a puple;
9 and Samarie shal faile to be the heed of
Effraym, and the sone of Romelie `schal
faile to be heed of Samarie. Forsothe
if &yogh;e schulen not bileue, &yogh;e schulen not
dwelle.
10 And the Lord addide to speke to
Achas,
11 and seide, Axe thou to thee a signe
of thi Lord God, in to the depthe of helle,
ethir in to hei&yogh;the aboue.
12 And Achas
seide, Y schal not axe, and Y schal not
tempte note the Lord.
13 And Ysaie seide, Therfor
the hous of Dauid, here &yogh;e; whether
it is litil to &yogh;ou to be diseseful to men note,
for &yogh;e ben diseseful also to my God?
14 For
this thing the Lord hym silf schal &yogh;yue a
signe to &yogh;ou. Lo! a virgyn schal conseyue,
and schal bere a sone; and his name schal
-- --
be clepid Emanuel.
15 He schal ete botere
and hony, that he kunne repreue yuel,
and cheese good.
16 For whi bifore that the
child kunne repreue yuel, and chese good,
the lond, which thou wlatist, schal be forsakun
of the face of her twei kyngis.
17 The Lord schal brynge on thee, and on
thi puple, and on the hous of thi fadir,
daies that camen not fro the daies of departyng
of Effraym fro Juda, with the
kyng of Assiriens note.
18 And it schal be, in
that dai the Lord schal hisse to a flie,
which is in the laste parte of the floodis
of Egipt; and to a bee, which is in the
lond of Assur;
19 and `alle so schulen come,
and schulen reste in the strondis of valeis,
and in caues of stoonis, and in alle places
of buyschis, and in alle hoolis.
20 And in
that dai the Lord schal schaue note with a
scharp rasour in these men, that ben bi&yogh;endis
the flood, in the kyng of Assiriens,
the heed, and heeris of the feet, and al
the beerd.
21 And it schal be, in that day
a man schal nurische a cow of oxis, and
twei scheep,
22 and for the plentee of mylk
he schal ete botere; for whi ech man that
schal be left in the myddis of the lond,
schal ete boter and hony.
23 And it schal
be, in that dai ech place where a thousand
vyneris schulen be worth a thousynde
platis of siluer, and schulen be in to
thornes and breeris,
24 men schulen entre
thidur with bouwis and arowis; for whi
breris and thornes schulen be in al the
lond.
25 And alle hillis that schulen be
purgid with a sarpe, the drede of thornes
and of breris schal not come thidir; and
it schal be in to lesewe of oxen, and in
