¹ [BOOK THE FIRST]
¶ How happy the man, who hath not walked in the counsel of the lawless,––and, in the way of sinners, hath not stood, and, in the seat of scoffers, hath not sat; ² But, in the law of Yahweh, is his delight,––and, in his law, doth he talk with himself day and night. ³ So doth he become like a tree planted by streams of waters,––that yieldeth, its fruit, in its season, whose leaf, also doth not wither, and, whatsoever he doeth, prospereth.
⁴ Not so, the lawless,––but as chaff which is driven about by the wind: ⁵ For this cause, shall the lawless not stand in the judgment,––nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. ⁶ For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

²⁴ and Enoch walked with God,––and was not, for God had taken him.

³ And his lord saw, that, Yahweh, was with him,––and that, whatsoever, he, was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper in his hand.

²³ After nothing, was the chief of the prison looking, of whatever was in his hand,––in that, Yahweh, was with him, and, whatsoever, he, was doing, Yahweh, was causing to prosper.

⁶ Into their circle, do not thou enter, my soul! In their convocation, do not thou join, mine honour! For, in their anger, they slew brave men, And, in their wantonness, they hamstrung oxen.

²⁷ And, if, with this, ye will not hearken to me,––But will go in opposition to me, ²⁸ Then will I go in a rage of opposition to you,––And I, even I, will correct you seven times, for your sins;

² and all these blessings shall come in upon thee, and reach thee,––because thou dost hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God:–– ³ Blessed, shalt thou be in the city,––and, blessed, shalt thou be in the field: ⁴ Blessed, shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle,––the young of thy kine, and the ewes of thy flock: ⁵ Blessed, shall be thy basket, and thy kneading–trough: ⁶ Blessed, shalt thou be when thou comest in,––and, blessed, shalt thou be when thou goest out: ⁷ Yahweh will deliver thine enemies who rise up against thee, to be routed before thee,––one way, shall they come out against thee, and, seven ways, shall they flee before thee: ⁸ Yahweh will command to be with thee, the blessing, in thy storehouses, and in all whereunto thou settest thy hand,––and will bless thee in the land which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee: ⁹ Yahweh will confirm thee unto himself for a holy people, as he sware unto thee,––because thou dost keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God, and dost walk in his ways. ¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth shall see that, the name of Yahweh, hath been called upon thee,––and shall be afraid of thee. ¹¹ And Yahweh will cause thee to abound in that which is good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy soil,––upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, to give unto thee: ¹² Yahweh will open unto thee his rich storehouse––the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless every work of thy hand, so shalt thou lend unto many nations, but, thou, shalt not borrow: ¹³ And Yahweh, will give thee, to be the head, and not the tail, and thou shalt be only above, and shalt not be beneath,––because thou dost hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh thy God, which I am commanding thee, today, to observe and to do; ¹⁴ and dost not turn side from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right hand or to the left,––to go after other gods, to serve them.
¹⁵ But it shall be, if thou do not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes, which I am commanding thee, today, then shall come in upon thee all these curses, and shall reach thee:–– ¹⁶ Cursed, shalt thou be in the city,––and, cursed, shalt thou be in the field: ¹⁷ Cursed, shall be thy basket, and thy kneading–trough: ¹⁸ Cursed, shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground,––the young of thy kine, and the ewes of thy flock: ¹⁹ Cursed, shalt thou be, when thou comest in,––and, cursed, shalt thou be, when thou goest out: ²⁰ Yahweh will send upon thee cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all whereunto thou settest thy hand, that thou mayest do it,––until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly, because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. ²¹ Yahweh will cause to cleave unto thee––the pestilence,––until he hath consumed thee, from off the soil, which thou art entering to possess. ²² Yahweh, will smite thee, with consumption and with fever, and with inflammation and with violent heat, and with the sword, and with blight, and with mildew,––and they shall pursue thee, until thou perish. ²³ And thy heavens which are over thy head, shall become bronze,––and the earth which is under thee iron. ²⁴ Yahweh will cause the rain of thy land to be powder and dust,––out of the heavens, shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. ²⁵ Yahweh, will give thee up to be routed before thine enemies, one way, shalt thou go out against them, and, seven ways, shalt thou flee before them,––and thou shalt become a terror unto all the kingdoms of the earth. ²⁶ And thy dead body shall become food for every bird of the heavens, and for the beast of the earth,––with none to fright them away. ²⁷ Yahweh, will smite thee, with the burning sores of Egypt, and with the hemorrhoids, and with scab, and with itch,––of which thou canst not be healed. ²⁸ Yahweh, will smite thee, with madness, and with blindness,––and with terror of heart; ²⁹ and thou shalt he groping about in noonday brightness, as the blind man gropeth in thick darkness, and thou shalt not make thy ways prosper,––but shalt be only oppressed and spoiled, all the days, with none to save. ³⁰ A wife, shalt thou betroth, and, another man, shall lie with her. A house, shalt thou build, and shalt not dwell therein,––A vineyard, shalt thou plant, and shalt not throw it open; ³¹ Thine ox slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof, Thine ass stolen from before thee, and shall not be restored to thee,––Thy flock given to thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters given to another people, thine eyes looking on, and failing for them all the day, thine own hand being powerless. ³³ The fruit of thy soil, and all thy toilsome produce, shall a people whom thou knowest not, eat up,––and, thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed, all the days; ³⁴ so that thou shalt be mad,––for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ³⁵ Yahweh, will smite thee, with a grievous boil, upon the knees and upon the legs, of which thou canst not be healed,––from the sole of thy foot, even unto the crown of thy head. ³⁶ Yahweh will bring thee, and thy king whom thou wilt set up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers,––and thou shalt serve, there, other gods, of wood and of stone. ³⁷ Thus shalt thou become a horror, a byword, and a mockery,––among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God will drive thee. ³⁸ Much seed, shalt thou take out into the field,––and, little, shalt thou gather in, for the locust shall consume it. ³⁹ Vineyards, shalt thou plant, and dress,––but, wine, shalt thou not drink, neither shalt thou gather the grapes, for the worm shall eat them. ⁴⁰ Olive trees, shalt thou have in all thy bounds,––but, with oil, shalt thou not anoint thyself, for thine olives, shall drop off. ⁴¹ Sons and daughters, shalt thou beget,––and they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees, and the fruit of thy ground, shall the grasshopper, devour. ⁴³ The sojourner who is in thy midst, shall mount up above thee, higher and higher,––whereas, thou, shalt come down, lower and lower: ⁴⁴ he, shall lend to thee, but, thou, shalt not lend to him,––he, shall become head, and, thou, shalt become tail.
⁴⁵ Moreover, all these curses, shall come in upon thee, and pursue thee and overtake thee, until thou be destroyed,––because thou didst not hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee; ⁴⁶ and they shall be upon thee, for a sign, and for a wonder,––and upon thy seed, unto times age–abiding. ⁴⁷ Because thou servedst not Yahweh thy God, with rejoicing, and with gladness of heart, for abundance of all things, ⁴⁸ therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies, whom Yahweh will send against thee, with hunger, and with thirst, and with nakedness, and with want of all things,––and he, will put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he hath destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ Yahweh will bring against thee a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as darteth a bird of prey,––a nation whose tongue thou canst not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance,––who wilt not respect an elder, nor to the young, show favour; ⁵¹ then shall he eat the young of thy cattle and the fruit of thy ground, until thou art destroyed, who will not leave for thee corn, new wine or oil, the young of thy kine, or the ewes of thy flock,––until he hath caused thee to perish. ⁵² And he shall lay siege to thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, wherein thou wast trusting, in all thy land,––yea he will lay siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land, which, Yahweh thy God, hath given, unto thee. ⁵³ And thou wilt eat the fruit of thy body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, whom Yahweh thy God, hath given unto thee––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy will straiten thee. ⁵⁴ The man that is tender among you, and exceedingly delicate, his eye will be jealous of his brother, and of the wife of his bosom, and of the remnant of his sons, whom be might leave behind; ⁵⁵ so that he will not give to any one of them, of the flesh of his sons which he will eat, because he hath nothing at all left him,––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy, will straiten thee, within all thy gates. ⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, who hath never adventured the sole of her foot, to set it upon the ground, through delicateness and through tenderness, her eye shall be jealous of the husband of her bosom, and of her own son, and of her own daughter; ⁵⁷ both as to her afterbirth that cometh forth from between her feet, and as to her children which she shall bear, for she will eat them for want of all things, secretly,––in the siege and in the straitness wherewith thine enemy, will straiten thee, within thine own gates. ⁵⁸ If thou wilt not take heed to do all the words of this law, which are written in this scroll,––to revere this glorious and reverend name, Yahweh thy God, ⁵⁹ then will Yahweh make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed,––plagues great and lasting, and diseases grievous and lasting; ⁶⁰ and he will bring back on thee all the sickness of Egypt, because of which thou wast afraid,––and they shall cleave unto thee; ⁶¹ even every disease and, every plague, which are not written in this scroll of the law, will Yahweh bring up against thee, until thou art destroyed. ⁶² And ye shall be left men few in number, whereas ye had become as the stars of the heavens, for multitude,––because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh thy God. ⁶³ And it shall come to pass that, as Yahweh rejoiced over you, to do you good, and to multiply you, so, will Yahweh rejoice over you, to cause you to perish, and, to destroy you,––and ye shall be torn away, from off the soil, whither thou art going in to possess it; ⁶⁴ and Yahweh will scatter thee among all the peoples, from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth,––and thou wilt serve there, other gods, whom thou hast not known––thou, nor thy fathers,––of wood and of stone. ⁶⁵ And, among those nations, shalt thou find no ease, neither shall there be a place of rest for the sole of thy foot,––but, Yahweh will give unto thee, there, a trembling heart, and a failing of eyes, and faintness of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life will be hung up for thee in front,––and thou wilt be in dread by night and by day, and wilt not trust in thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning, thou wilt say––Oh that it were evening! and, in the evening, thou wilt say––Oh that it were morning! because of the dread of thy heart, which thou wilt dread, and because of the sight of thine eyes, which thou wilt see. ⁶⁸ And Yahweh, will take thee back again, to Egypt, in ships, by the way whereof I said unto thee, Thou shalt not again any more see it. And ye will offer yourselves there for sale unto thine enemies, as servants, and as handmaids, with no one to buy.

²⁹ How happy art thou, O Israel! Who is like unto thee, O people victorious in Yahweh? Thy helpful shield, who also is thy majestic sword,––So that thy foes come cringing unto thee, And, thou, upon their heights, dost march along.

⁷ Only be very firm and bold, taking heed to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, do not turn aside therefrom, to the right hand or to the left,––that thou mayest prosper, whithersoever thou goest. ⁸ This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein,––for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.

⁸ This scroll of the law must not cease out of thy mouth, but thou must talk to thyself therein, day and night, that thou mayest take heed to do according to all that is written therein,––for, then, shalt thou make thy way prosperous, and, then, shalt thou have good success.

³¹ And it come to pass, as though it had been too light a thing that he should walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and bowed down to him.

¹¹ Now, my son, Yahweh be with thee,––so shalt thou be prosperous, and shalt build the house of Yahweh thy God, according as he hath spoken concerning thee.

³ He too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab,––for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.

²¹ And, in all the work which he began in the service of the house of God––and in the law––and in the commandment, to seek unto his God, with all his heart, he wrought, and prospered.

²³ And, many, were bringing in a present unto Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things, unto Hezekiah king of Judah,––so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations, from thenceforth.

³ Is it seemly in thee, that thou shouldst oppress? that thou shouldst despise the labour of thine own hand, when, upon the counsel of the lawless, thou hast shone?

⁹ Through the scent of water, it may break forth, and produce branches like a sapling,

¹⁶ Lo! not in their own hand, is their welfare, The counsel of lawless men, is far from me!

¹⁸ They become as straw before the wind, and as chaff, which the storm stealeth away.

¹⁰ But, he, knoweth the way that I choose, Having tried me, as gold, I shall come forth.

¹² The command of his lips, and would not go back, and, in my bosom, have I treasured the words of his lips.

⁵ Verily I walked not in falsity, nor did my foot haste unto deceit:––

⁶ For Yahweh doth acknowledge the way of the righteous; but, the way of the lawless, shall vanish.

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger,––How happy are all who seek refuge in him!

⁵ Boasters, shall not station themselves, before thine eyes,––Thou hatest all workers of iniquity:

⁶ O enemy! complete are the desolations, evermore,––even cities, hast thou uprooted, The memory of, them, hath perished. ⁷ But, Yahweh, unto times age–abiding, will sit, Ready for judgment, is his throne; ⁸ And, he, will judge the world in righteousness, He will minister judgment to peoples, in uprightness.

¹⁶ To be known is Yahweh, by the sentence he hath executed, By the doing of his own hands, is he about to strike down the lawless one. [Resounding music. Selah.]

³ Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

⁴ I have not sat with men of deceit, nor, with dissemblers, would I enter; ⁵ I have hated the convocation of evil–doers, and, with lawless men, would I not sit;

⁹ Do not remove, with sinners, my soul, nor, with men of bloodshed, my life;

¹² My foot standeth in a level place, In the convocations, will I bless Yahweh.

¹ [David’s. An Instructive Psalm.]
How happy is he whose transgression is forgiven! whose sin is pardoned! ² How happy the son of earth, to whom Yahweh will not reckon iniquity! and in whose spirit is no guile!

⁸ Oh taste and see, that good is Yahweh,––How happy the man who seeketh refuge in him!

⁵ Let them be as chaff before the wind, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:

⁴ Iniquity, deviseth he upon his bed,––he taketh his stand in a way, not good, Wrong, doth he not abhor!

¹⁸ Yahweh knoweth the days of the blameless, that, their inheritance, unto times age–abiding, shall continue. ¹⁹ They shall not be ashamed in the time of calamity, and, in the days of famine, shall they be filled. ²⁰ For, the lawless, shall perish, and, the foes of Yahweh, be like the glory of the meadows, They have vanished! In smoke, have they vanished!
²¹ A lawless man borroweth, and will not repay, But, a righteous man, showeth favour and giveth; ²² For, such as are blessed of him, shall inherit the earth, But, the cursed of him, shall be cut off. ²³ From Yahweh, are the steps of a man made firm, When, with his way, he is well pleased: ²⁴ Though he fall, he shall not be hurled headlong, For, Yahweh, is holding his hand.

⁸ To do thy good–pleasure, O my God, is my delight, And, thy law, is in the midst of mine inward parts:

² Wilt thou hide me, From the conclave of evil–doers, From the crowd of workers of iniquity.

¹² So then I let them go on in the stubbornness of their own heart,[––] They might walk in their own counsels!

¹² O Yahweh of hosts! How happy the man who trusteth in thee!

¹ [A Song, a Melody. For the Sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. On "Mahalath." For alternate Song. An Instructive Psalm. By Heman the Ezrahite.]
O Yahweh, God of my salvation, By day, have I made outcry, In the night, [also] before thee.

¹⁴ Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

³⁴ Pleasing unto him, be my meditation, I, will rejoice in Yahweh.

³ How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.

¹ Praise ye Yah! How happy is the man who revereth Yahweh, In his commandments, delighteth he greatly;

¹⁰ The lawless one, shall see, and be indignant, his teeth, will he gnash and melt away, The craving of the lawless, shall vanish.

¹² Yahweh, hath remembered us, he will bless––He will bless the house of Israel, He will bless the house of Aaron; ¹³ He will bless them who revere Yahweh, the small with the great. ¹⁴ Yahweh multiply you, You, and your children. ¹⁵ Blessed are ye of Yahweh, who made the heavens and the earth:

¹ [ALEPH.] How happy the men of blameless life, who walk in the law of Yahweh.

¹ [ALEPH.] How happy the men of blameless life, who walk in the law of Yahweh. ² How happy they who observe his testimonies, with a whole heart, they seek him.

¹¹ In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.

¹⁵ In thy precepts, will I meditate, that I may discern thy paths. ¹⁶ In thy statutes, will I find my dear delight, I will not forget thy word.

³⁵ Guide me in the path of thy commandments, for, therein, do I find pleasure.

⁴⁷ That I may find dear delight in thy commandments, which I have loved. ⁴⁸ That I may lift up my hands unto thy commandments, which I have loved, and may meditate in thy statutes.

⁷² Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.

⁹² Had not thy law been my dear delight, then, had I perished in mine affliction.

⁹⁷ [MEM.] Oh how I love thy law! All the day, is it my meditation.
⁹⁸ Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age–abidingly, shall it be mine. ⁹⁹ Beyond all my teachers, have I shown discretion, for, thy testimonies, are my meditation.

¹¹⁵ Depart from me, ye evil–doers,––that I may observe the commandments of my God.

² The labour of thine own hands, surely thou shalt eat. How happy thou, and well for thine!

⁸ Neither have the passers–by ever said, The blessing of Yahweh, be unto you,––We have blessed you in the Name of Yahweh.

¹ [To the Chief Musician, David’s. A Melody.]
O Yahweh! thou hast searched me, and observed: ² Thou, hast observed my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou hast given heed to my desire, from afar:

³ When my spirit fainted concerning myself, then, thou, didst take note of my path,––In the course which I was about to take, they had hidden a snare for me.

¹⁵ How happy the people that is in such a case! How happy the people that hath Yahweh for its God!

⁵ How happy is he that hath the GOD of Jacob as his help, whose hope, is on Yahweh his God:––

⁹ Yahweh, who preserveth sojourners, The fatherless and widows, he relieveth,––but, the way of the lawless, he overturneth.

¹⁵ My son, do not walk in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path.

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge?

¹² To rescue thee from the way of the wrongful, from the man that speaketh perverse things;

³⁴ Though at scoffers he scoffeth, yet, to the humbled, he granteth favour.

¹⁴ Upon the path of the lawless, do not thou enter, and do not advance in the way of the wicked: ¹⁵ Avoid it, do not pass thereon––turn from it, and depart.

¹⁹ The way of the lawless, is like darkness, they know not, at what they stumble.

¹² If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself, but, if thou scoff, alone, shalt thou bear it.

¹⁵ Sound discretion, yieldeth favour, but, the way of the treacherous, is rugged.

²⁰ He that walketh with the wise, becometh wise, but, the friend of dullards, becometh foolish.

¹² There is a way that enticeth a man, but, at the latter end thereof, are the ways of death!

⁹ An abomination to Yahweh, is the way of the lawless, but, the pursuer of righteousness, he loveth.

²⁹ Prepared for scoffers, are punishments, and stripes, for the back of dullards.

¹⁰ Say ye to the righteous, It is well! For, the fruit of their doings, shall they eat:

¹³ Though nations, like the rushing of many waters, shall rush, Yet shall one rebuke him, And he shall flee far away,––And be chased, As the chaff of the mountains before a wind, And as whirling stubble, before a storm!

¹¹ When the cut–off boughs thereof are dry, they shall be broken to pieces, Women, coming, are kindling it! For it is, not a people of understanding, For this cause, Will he that made him, not have compassion upon him, And, he that formed him, will shew him no favour.

⁵ Then shall be, as fine dust, the multitude of thy foreigners,––And, as chaff that passeth away, the multitude of tyrants; And it shall come to pass, in a twinkling, suddenly.

⁴ So will they spring up among the grass, As willows by the water–courses:

¹⁶ Thy words, were found, and I did eat them, Then became thy words unto me, the joy and gladness of my heart,––For, thy Name, hath been called, upon me, O Yahweh, God of hosts! ¹⁷ I sat not in the circle of mockers, Nor became I uproarious,––Because of thy hand, by myself, did I sit, For, with indignation, hadst thou filled me.

⁷ Blessed, is the man, Who trusteth in Yahweh, To whom Yahweh is his ground of confidence; ⁸ For he shall become like a tree planted by waters, And, by a stream, shall he send out his roots, Neither shall he perceive when heat cometh, But his leaf shall continue green: Even, in a year of dearth, shall he not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from bearing fruit.

⁸ In a goodly field, by mighty waters, was it, planted,––That it might bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, That it might become, a splendid vine.

¹⁰ Thy mother, [was] like a vine of thy vineyard, By waters, was planted,––Fruitful and full of branches, she became, By reason of waters abundant;

¹⁸ But I said unto their children, in the desert, In the statutes of your fathers, let it not be that ye walk, And their regulations, let it not be that ye observe,––And with their manufactured gods, let it not be that ye defile yourselves.

¹² And, by the river, shall grow up on the bank thereof, on this, side and on that, side, every tree for food, the leaf whereof, shall not fade,––neither shall fail, the fruit thereof, by its months, shall it break forth, for, as for the waters thereof, out of the sanctuary, are they, coming forth,––and, the fruit, thereof shall be, for food, and, the leaf thereof, for healing.

³ Therefore, shall they become like the morning cloud, and like the dew early departing,––like chaff storm–driven out of the threshing–floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.

⁷ Good is Yahweh, as a protection in the day of distress,––and one who acknowledgeth them who seek refuge in him.

¹⁸ So shall ye return, and see the difference, between the righteous and the lawless,––between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.

¹² Whose fan is in his hand, and he will clear out his threshing–floor,––and will gather his wheat into the granary, but, the chaff, will he burn up with fire unquenchable.

¹³ Enter ye in at, the narrow gate; because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction,––and, many, are they who enter thereby:

¹³ Enter ye in at, the narrow gate; because broad and roomy is the way that leadeth unto destruction,––and, many, are they who enter thereby: ¹⁴ Because, narrow, is the gate, and, confined, the way, that leadeth unto life,––and, few, are they who find, it.

⁶ and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;

⁴⁹ So, will it be in the conclusion of the age: The messengers will come forth, and separate the wicked from among the righteous;

¹⁷ And Jesus, answering, said to him––Happy, art thou, Simon Bar–yona,––because, flesh and blood, revealed it not unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens.

¹⁹ and, seeing one fig–tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only,––and he saith unto it––No more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age–abiding,––and the fig–tree, instantly withered away.

³⁴ And, when the season of fruits drew near, He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits.

⁴¹ They say unto him––Miserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto him the fruits in their seasons.

³² And there will be gathered before him, all the nations, and he will separate them one from another, just as, the shepherd! separateth the sheep from the goats,––

⁴¹ Then, will he say unto those also, on his left hand: Depart ye from me, accursed ones! Into the age–abiding fire, which hath been prepared for the adversary and his messengers;

⁴⁶ And, these, shall go away, into, age–abiding, correction, but, the righteous, into, age–abiding, life.

³⁷ and, she, had been a widow for as long as eighty–four years,––who left not the temple, with fastings and supplications, rendering divine service night and day; ––

²⁸ But, he, said––Yea rather!––Happy they who hear the word of God, and observe it!

⁷ And shall, God, in any wise not execute the vindication of his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, although he beareth long with regard to them?

³⁶ But be watching in every season, making supplication, that ye may gain full vigour, to escape all these things that are about to be coming to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

⁵¹ (the same had not consented unto their plan and deed), ––from Arimathaea, a city of the Jews, who was awaiting the kingdom of God,

¹⁴ I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me,––

²⁷ My sheep, unto my voice, hearken,––and, I, know, them, and they follow me,––

¹⁷ If, these things, ye know, happy, are ye, if ye be doing them.

⁶ If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them,––and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.

²⁹ Jesus saith unto him––Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed!

² Through whom also we have had, our introduction, [by our faith] into this favour wherein we stand; and let us boast in hope of the glory of God.

²² I have, in fact, a sympathetic pleasure in the law of God; according to the inner man.

¹³ For this cause, take up the complete armour of God, in order that ye may receive power to withstand in the evil day, and, all things, having accomplished, to stand!

⁹ For ye remember, brethren, our toil and hardship: night and day, working, so as not to be a burden unto any of you, we proclaimed unto you the glad–message of God,

¹⁵ These things, be thy care, in these things, be thou, that, thine advancement, may be, manifest, unto all:

³ Grateful, am I, unto God,––unto whom I am rendering divine service from my progenitors in a pure conscience, that, incessant, hold I the remembrance, concerning thee, in my supplications; day and night,

¹⁹ Howbeit, the firm foundation of God, standeth, having this seal––The Lord hath acknowledged them who are his, and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord stand aloof from unrighteousness.

³ For, sufficient, is the bygone time––to have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine–drinkings, revellings, drinking–bouts, and impious idolatries:––

¹² These, however, as unreasoning creatures that have been bred as being, by nature, for capture and destruction, in the things they are ignorant of, uttering defamation, in their spoiling, shall also be made a spoil,––

³ For, this is the love of God––that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;

¹² These are they––who, in your love–feasts, are hidden rocks, as they fare sumptuously together, fearlessly, themselves, shepherding,––clouds without water, by winds swept along, trees autumnal, fruitless, twice dead, uprooted,

¹⁵ To execute judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly––of all their works of ungodliness, which they committed in ungodliness, and of all the hard things which they have spoken against him––sinners, ungodly!

² in the midst of the broadway thereof. And, on this side of the river and on that, was a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, every several month, yielding its fruit; and, the leaves of the tree, were for the healing of the nations,

¹⁴ Happy, they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life and, by the gates, they may enter into the city.
