¹ And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. ² Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.

⁶ And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.

³³ And Samuel said: As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed him in pieces before the Lord in Galgal.

⁸ And Saul was exceeding angry, and this word was displeasing in his eyes, and he said: They have given David ten thousands, and to me they have given but a thousand, what can he have more but the kingdom?

^{4 (24:5)} And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou mayst do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the hem of Saul's robe.

^{10 (24:11)} Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed.

^{18 (24:19)} And thou hast shewed this day what good things thou hast done to me: how the Lord delivered me into thy hand, and thou hast not killed me.

¹² And Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: Therefore he shall be my servant for ever.

²⁷ And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.

²⁹ And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father's house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.

¹⁰ And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so?

⁹ And Joab said to Amasa: God save thee, my brother. And he took Amasa by the chin with his right hand to kiss him. ¹⁰ But Amasa did not take notice of the sword, which Joab had, and he struck him in the side, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and gave him not a second wound, and he died. And Joab, and Abisai his brother pursued after Seba the son of Bochri.

⁵⁰ And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose and went, and took hold of the horn of the altar. ⁵¹ And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.

²⁸ And the news came to Joab, because Joab had turned after Adonias, and had not turned after Solomon: and Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and took hold on the horn of the altar. ²⁹ And it was told king Solomon, that Joab was fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and was by the altar: and Solomon sent Banaias, the son of Joiada, saying. Go, kill him. ³⁰ And Banaias came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said to him: Thus saith the king: Come forth. And he said: I will not come forth, but here I will die. Banaias brought word back to the king, saying: Thus saith Joab, and thus he answered me. ³¹ And the king said to him: Do as he hath said; and kill him, and bury him, and thou shalt remove the innocent blood which hath been shed by Joab, from me, and from the house of my father: ³² And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head; because he murdered two men, just and better than himself: and slew them with the sword, my father, David, not knowing it; Abner, the son of Ner, general of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether general of the army of Juda; ³³ And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed, and his house, and to his throne, be peace for ever from the Lord. ³⁴ So Banaias, the son of Joiada, went up, and setting upon him slew him, and he was buried in his house in the desert.

¹² As for this house, which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee, which I spoke to David thy father.

¹ Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets, cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.

¹⁵ But Joiada commanded the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.

¹⁰ Every cause that shall come to you of your brethren, that dwell in their cities, between kindred and kindred, wheresoever there is question concerning the law, the commandment, the ceremonies, the justifications: shew it them, that they may not sin against the Lord, and that wrath may not come upon you and your brethren: and so doing you shall not sin.

¹ Now there was a great cry of the people, and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. ² And there were some that said: Our sons and our daughters are very many: let us take up corn for the price of them, and let us eat and live. ³ And there were some that said: Let us mortgage our lands, and our vineyards, and our houses, and let us take corn because of the famine. ⁴ And others said: Let us borrow money for the king's tribute, and let us give up our fields and vineyards: ⁵ And now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren: and our children as their children. Behold we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters, and some of our daughters are bondwomen already, neither have we wherewith to redeem them, and our fields and our vineyards other men possess.

⁵ And now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren: and our children as their children. Behold we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters, and some of our daughters are bondwomen already, neither have we wherewith to redeem them, and our fields and our vineyards other men possess.

⁸ And I said to them: We, as you know, have redeemed according to our ability our brethren the Jews, that were sold to the Gentiles: and will you then sell your brethren, for us to redeem them? And they held their peace, and found not what to answer.

¹³ Thou camest down also to mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from heaven, and thou gavest them right judgments, and the law of truth, ceremonies, and good precepts. ¹⁴ Thou madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst prescribe to them commandments, and ceremonies, and the law by the hand of Moses thy servant.

²⁹ All that could understand, promising for their brethren, with their chief men, and they came to promise, and swear that they would walk in the law of God, which he gave in the hand of Moses the servant of God, that they would do and keep all the commandments of the Lord our God, and his judgments and his ceremonies.

¹⁵ My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys.

¹³ If I have despised to abide judgment with my manservant, or my maidservant, when they had any controversy against me: ¹⁴ For what shall I do when God shall rise to judge? and when he shall examine, what shall I answer him? ¹⁵ Did not he that made me in the womb make him also: and did not one and the same form me in the womb?

^{12 (9:13)} For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.

^{15 (9:16)} I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.

¹⁴ Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.

¹⁸ To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

^{13 (19:14)} And from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed form the greatest sin.

^{6 (40:7)} Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; but thou hast pierced ears for me. Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: ^{7 (40:8)} Then said I, Behold I come. In the head of the book it is written of me ^{8 (40:9)} That I should do thy will: O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.

¹² For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: and the needy that had no helper. ¹³ He shall spare the poor and needy: and he shall save the souls of the poor. ¹⁴ He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: and their names shall be honourable in his sight.

⁸⁵ The wicked have told me fables: but not as thy law.

¹⁹ Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.

⁸ The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but he that is poor, beareth not reprehension.

²⁰ He that curseth his father, and mother, his lamp shall be put out in the midst of darkness.

²² Do no violence to the poor, because he is poor: and do not oppress the needy in the gate: ²³ Because the Lord will judge his cause: and will afflict them that have afflicted his soul.

¹⁰ He that deceiveth the just in a wicked way, shall fall in his own destruction: and the upright shall possess his goods.

¹⁹ A slave will not be corrected by words: because he understandeth what thou sayest, and will not answer.

¹¹ There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

¹⁷ The eye that mocketh at his father, and that despiseth the labour of his mother in bearing him, let the ravens of the brooks pick it out, and the young eagles eat it.

⁸ He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him.

²⁶ And I will restore thy judges as they were before, and thy counsellors as of old. After this thou shalt be called the city of the just, a faithful city.

⁷ But he shall not take it so, and his heart shall not think so: but his heart shall be set to destroy, and to cut off nations not a few.

¹³ O Lord our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us, only in thee let us remember thy name.

³ Why have we fasted, and thou hast not regarded: have we humbled our souls, and thou hast not taken notice? Behold in the day of your fast your own will is found, and you exact of all your debtors. ⁴ Behold you fast for debates and strife, and strike with the fist wickedly. Do not fast as you have done until this day, to make your cry to be heard on high.

²⁰ Shall evil be rendered for good, because they have digged a pit for my soul? Remember that I have stood in thy sight, to speak good for them, and to turn away thy indignation from them.

²² Let a cry be heard out of their houses: for thou shalt bring the robber upon them suddenly: because they have digged a pit to take me, and have hid snares for my feet.

⁸ The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, after that king Sedecias had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem making a proclamation: ⁹ That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, go free: and that they should not lord it over them, to wit, over the Jews their brethren. ¹⁰ And all the princes, and all the people who entered into the covenant, heard that every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant go free, and should no more have dominion over them: and they obeyed, and let them go free. ¹¹ But afterwards they turned: and brought back again their servants and their handmaids, whom they had let go free, and brought them into subjection as menservants and maidservants. ¹² And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying: ¹³ Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, saying: ¹⁴ At the end of seven years, let ye go every man his brother being a Hebrew, who hath been sold to thee, so he shall serve thee six years: and thou shalt let him go free from thee: and your fathers did not hearken to me, nor did they incline their ear. ¹⁵ And you turned to day, and did that which was right in my eyes, in proclaiming liberty every one to his brother: and you made a covenant in my sight, in the house upon which my name is invocated. ¹⁶ And you are fallen back, and have defiled my name: and you have brought back again every man his manservant, and every man his maidservant, whom you had let go free, and set at liberty: and you have brought them into subjection to be your servants and handmaids. ¹⁷ Therefore thus saith the Lord: You have not hearkened to me, in proclaiming liberty every man to his brother and every man to his friend: behold I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the Lord, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine: and I will cause you to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth.

¹¹ And I gave them my statutes, and I shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them.

²⁵ Therefore I also gave them statutes that were not good, and judgments, in which they shall not live.

² The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.

³ Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves, they left nothing for the morning.

⁴ Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem: and every man with his staff in his hand through multitude of days.

¹² And I said to them: If it be good in your eyes, bring hither my wages: and if not, be quiet. And they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. ¹³ And the Lord said to me: Cast it to the statuary, a handsome price, that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and I cast them into the house of the Lord to the statuary.

¹¹ Juda hath transgressed, and abomination hath been committed in Israel, and in Jerusalem: for Juda hath profaned the holiness of the Lord, which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. ¹² The Lord will cut off the man that hath done this, both the master, and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering to the Lord of hosts. ¹³ And this again have you done, you have covered the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and bellowing, so that I have no more a regard to sacrifice, neither do I accept any atonement at your hands. ¹⁴ And you have said: For what cause? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee, and the wife of thy youth, whom thou hast despised: yet she was thy partner, and the wife of thy covenant. ¹⁵ Did not one make her, and she is the residue of his spirit? And what doth one seek, but the seed of God? Keep then your spirit, and despise not the wife of thy youth.

⁴ Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the precepts, and judgments.

³⁸ You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. ³⁹ But I say to you not to resist evil: but if one strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other: ⁴⁰ And if a man will contend with thee in judgment, and take away thy coat, let go thy cloak also unto him.

² For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again.

³ But he answering, said to them: Why do you also transgress the commandment of God for your tradition? For God said: ⁴ Honour thy father and mother: And: He that shall curse father or mother, let him die the death. ⁵ But you say: Whosoever shall say to father or mother, The gift whatsoever proceedeth from me, shall profit thee. ⁶ And he shall not honour his father or his mother: and you have made void the commandment of God for your tradition.

²⁵ And as he had not wherewith to pay it, his lord commanded that he should be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.

¹⁵ And said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver.

⁵² Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

³ Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, ⁴ Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? Look thou to it. ⁵ And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed and went and hanged himself with an halter. ⁶ But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood. ⁷ And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers. ⁸ For this cause that field was called Haceldama, that is, the field of blood, even to this day. ⁹ Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.

²⁰ Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.

¹⁰ For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that shall curse father or mother, dying let him die. ¹¹ But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban (which is a gift) whatsoever is from me shall profit thee.

³⁸ Give: and it shall be given to you: good measure and pressed down and shaken together and running over shall they give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you shall mete withal, it shall be measured to you again.

⁴ For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil.

²⁰ For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.

¹ Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. ² But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife: and let every woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband render the debt to his wife: and the wife also in like manner to the husband. ⁴ The wife hath not power of her own body: but the husband. And in like manner the husband also hath not power of his own body: but the wife. ⁵ Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer: and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency. ⁶ But I speak this by indulgence, not by commandment.

¹⁴ For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead. ¹⁵ And Christ died for all: that they also who live may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again.

⁹ And you, masters, do the same things to them, forbearing threatenings: knowing that the Lord both of them and you is in heaven. And there is no respect of persons with him.

⁷ But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.

¹ Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven.

¹ For the rest therefore, brethren, pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.

⁹ Knowing this: That the law is not made for the just man but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, ¹⁰ For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine:

²⁶ For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins:

¹⁰ And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government: audacious, self willed, they fear not to bring in sects, blaspheming.

⁶ For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets: and thou hast given them blood to drink. For they are worthy.

¹² Merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones: and of pearls and fine linen and purple and silk and scarlet: and all thyine wood: and all manner of vessels of ivory: and all manner of vessels of precious stone and of brass and of iron and of marble:
