Isaiah 18

1 Wo to the lond, the cymbal of wyngis, which is biyende the flood of Ethiopie; that sendith messangeris bi the see,

Jao zemlji krilatih kukaca s one strane rijeka kuških,

2 and in vessels of papirus on watris. Go, ye messangeris, to the folk drawun up and to-rent; to a ferdful puple, aftir which is noon other; to the folk abidynge and defoulid, whos lond the flodis han rauyschid; to the hil of the name of the Lord of oostis, to the hil of Sion.

tebi koja šalješ morem glasnike i vodom u čamcima rogoznim. Idite, brze skoroteče, k narodu stasitu, tamnoputu, k narodu kog se boje odvajkada, narodu žilavu, zavojevaču, čija je zemlja rijekama izbrazdana.

3 Alle ye dwelleris of the world, that dwellen in the lond, schulen se whanne a signe schal be reisid in the hillis, and ye schulen here the cry of a trumpe.

Svi stanovnici kruga zemaljskoga, i vi, žitelji zemlje, kad se zastava na brdu digne, gledajte; kad rog zatrubi, slušajte.

4 For whi the Lord seith these thingis to me, Y schal reste, and Y schal biholde in my place, as the myddai liyt is cleer, and as a cloude of dew in the dai of heruest.

Jer ovako mi govori Jahve: “Mirno ću gledati s mjesta svojega, k'o prozirna žega podnevna, k'o rosan oblak za vrućine žetvene.

5 For whi al flouride out bifore heruest, aud vnripe perfeccioun buriownede; and the litle braunchis therof schulen be kit doun with sithis, and tho that ben left, schulen be kit awei. Thei schulen be schakun out,

Prije berbe, kad loza ocvate i cvijet u grozdove dozri, nožima će posjeći mladice, povezati, ukloniti grane.

6 and schulen be left togidere to the briddis of hillis, and to the beestis of erthe; and briddis schulen be on hym by a somer euerlastinge, and alle the beestis of erthe schulen dwelle bi wyntir on hym.

Svi će biti ostavljeni grabljivicama gorskim i zvijerima zemaljskim. Grabljivice će na njima ljetovati, zvijeri zemaljske zimovati.”

7 In that tyme a yifte schal be brouyt to the Lord of oostis, of the puple drawun up and to-rent; of the puple ferdful, aftir which was noon other; of the folk abidynge and defoulid, whos lond floodis rauyschiden; the yifte schal be brouyt to the place of the name of the Lord of oostis, to the hil of Sion.

U ono će vrijeme narod stasit i tamnoputan, narod kojega se boje odvajkada, narod žilav i zavojevački, čija je zemlja izbrazdana rijekama, donositi darove Jahvi nad Vojskama, k mjestu imena Jahve nad Vojskama - na goru Sion.
