1 quis est iste qui venit de Edom tinctis vestibus de Bosra iste formonsus in stola sua gradiens in multitudine fortitudinis suae ego qui loquor iustitiam et propugnator sum ad salvandum
Who is this that cometh fro Edom, in died clothis fro Bosra? this fair man in his `long cloth, goynge in the multitude of his vertu? Y that speke riytfulnesse, and am a forfiytere for to saue.
2 quare ergo rubrum est indumentum tuum et vestimenta tua sicut calcantium in torculari
Whi therfor is thi clothing reed? and thi clothis ben as of men stampynge in a pressour?
3 torcular calcavi solus et de gentibus non est vir mecum calcavi eos in furore meo et conculcavi eos in ira mea et aspersus est sanguis eorum super vestimenta mea et omnia indumenta mea inquinavi
Y aloone stampide the presse, and of folkis no man is with me; Y stampide hem in my stronge veniaunce, and Y defoulide hem in my wraththe; and her blood is spreynt on my clothis, and Y made foul alle my clothis.
4 dies enim ultionis in corde meo annus redemptionis meae venit
For whi a dai of veniaunce is in myn herte, and the yeer of my yeldyng cometh.
5 circumspexi et non erat auxiliator quaesivi et non fuit qui adiuvaret et salvavit mihi brachium meum et indignatio mea ipsa auxiliata est mihi
I lokide aboute, and noon helpere was; Y souyte, and noon was that helpide; and myn arm sauyde to me, and myn indignacioun, that helpide me.
6 et conculcavi populos in furore meo et inebriavi eos in indignatione mea et detraxi in terra virtutem eorum
And Y defoulide puplis in my stronge veniaunce; and Y made hem drunkun in myn indignacioun, and Y drow doun her vertu in to erthe.
7 miserationum Domini recordabor laudem Domini super omnibus quae reddidit nobis Dominus et super multitudinem bonorum domui Israhel quae largitus est eis secundum indulgentiam suam et secundum multitudinem misericordiarum suarum
I schal haue mynde on the merciful doyngis of the Lord, Y schal preche the heriyng of the Lord on alle thingis whiche the Lord yeldide to vs, and on the multitude `of goodis of the hous of Israel, whiche he yaf to hem bi his foryyuenesse, and bi the multitude of hise mercies.
8 et dixit verumtamen populus meus est filii non negantes et factus est eis salvator
And the Lord seide, Netheles it is my puple, sones not denyynge, and he was maad a sauyour to hem in al the tribulacioun of hem.
9 in omni tribulatione eorum non est tribulatus et angelus faciei eius salvavit eos in dilectione sua et in indulgentia sua ipse redemit eos et portavit eos et levavit eos cunctis diebus saeculi
It was not set in tribulacioun, and the aungel of his face sauyde hem. In his loue and in his foryyuenesse he ayenbouyte hem, and he bar hem, and reiside hem in alle daies of the world.
10 ipsi autem ad iracundiam provocaverunt et adflixerunt spiritum Sancti eius et conversus est eis in inimicum et ipse debellavit eos
Forsothe thei excitiden hym to wrathfulnesse, and turmentiden the spirit of his hooli; and he was turned in to an enemye to hem, and he ouercam hem in batel.
11 et recordatus est dierum saeculi Mosi populi sui ubi est qui eduxit eos de mari cum pastoribus gregis sui ubi est qui posuit in medio eius spiritum Sancti sui
And he hadde mynde on the daies of the world, of Moises, and of his puple. Where is he, that ledde hem out of the see, with the scheepherdis of his floc? Where is he, that settide the spirit of his holi in the myddil therof;
12 qui eduxit ad dexteram Mosen brachio maiestatis suae qui scidit aquas ante eos ut faceret sibi nomen sempiternum
whiche ledde out Moises to the riyt half in the arm of his maieste? which departide watris bifore hem, that he schulde make to hym silf a name euerlastynge;
13 qui duxit eos per abyssos quasi equum in deserto non inpingentem
whiche ledde hem out thoruy depthis of watris, as an hors not stumblynge in desert,
14 quasi animal in campo descendens spiritus Domini ductor eius fuit sic adduxisti populum tuum ut faceres tibi nomen gloriae
as a beeste goynge doun in the feeld? The Spirit of the Lord was the ledere therof; so thou leddist thi puple, that thou madist to thee a name of glorie.
15 adtende de caelo et vide de habitaculo sancto tuo et gloriae tuae ubi est zelus tuus et fortitudo tua multitudo viscerum tuorum et miserationum tuarum super me continuerunt se
Biholde thou fro heuene, and se fro thin hooli dwellyng place, and fro the seete of thi glorie. Where is thi feruent loue, and thi strengthe, the multitude of thin entrailis, and of thi merciful doyngis?
16 tu enim pater noster et Abraham nescivit nos et Israhel ignoravit nos tu Domine pater noster redemptor noster a saeculo nomen tuum

17 quare errare nos fecisti Domine de viis tuis indurasti cor nostrum ne timeremus te convertere propter servos tuos tribus hereditatis tuae

19 facti sumus quasi in principio cum non dominareris nostri neque invocaretur nomen tuum super nos
