And he said unto them, A Hebrew, am I, - and, Yahweh, the God of the heavens, do, I, revere, him who made the sea, and the dry land.

Then did the men revere with great reverence, and said unto him, What is it thou hast done? For the men knew that, away from the presence of Yahweh, he was fleeing, - for he had told them.

Then said they unto him, What shall we de to thee, that the sea may cease raging over us? For, the sea, was raging more and more.

So they took up Jonah and hurled him into the sea, - and the sea, left off, her roaring.

And the word reached unto the king of Nineveh, so he arose from his throne, and laid aside his robe from off him, - and covered him with sackcloth, and sat on ashes.

And it was vexing unto Jonah, with a great vexation, - and it angered him.

Now Yahweh God appointed a gourd, and caused it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his vexation, - and Jonah rejoiced over the gourd, with great rejoicing.

Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, - as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.

O thou who art said to be the house of Jacob, Is the spirit of Yahweh, impatient? Or are, these, his doings? Are not, his words, pleasant to him who is upright in his walk?

Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the prophets who are leading astray my people, - who bite with their teeth, and then cry - Prosper! and whoso holdeth not to their mouth, they hallow against him a war!

So shall this one be Prosperity. As for Assyria - when he shall enter our land, and when he shall tread down in our palaces, then will we raise up against him, seven shepherds, and eight princes of mankind.

O my people! remember, I pray you, what Balak king of Moab, counseled, and what Balaam son of Beer, answered him, - from the Acacias as far as Gilgal, that ye may know the righteousness of Yahweh.

Wherewith, shall I come before Yahweh? bow myself to God on high? Shall I come before him with ascending-sacrifice? with calves of a year old?

The voice of Yahweh, to the city, crieth out, With safety for him who regardeth his name, - Hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.

The indignation of Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, - until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, I shall behold his righteousness.

As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew him wonders.

Mountains, have trembled because of him, and, the hills, have melted, - and the earth, hath lifted itself up, at his presence, the world also, and all who dwell therein.

Before his indignation, who shall stand? And who shall abide the glow of his anger? His wrath, hath been poured forth like fire, and, the rocks, have been broken down because of him.

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

But, with an overflow rolling on, a full end, will he make of them who rise up against him, - and, his foes, will he pursue into darkness.

Let him call to mind his nobles, they shall stumble as they go - let them hasten to her wall, yet the storming cover, is prepared.

And, he, over kings, will make merry, and, nobles, will be a scorn to him: he, at any fortress, will laugh, once he hath heaped up dust, he hath captured it!

Art not, thou, from of old, O Yahweh, my God, my Holy One? Thou diest not! O Yahweh, to judgment, hast thou appointed him, and, O Rock, to correction, hast thou devoted him:

Lo! as for the conceited one, crooked is his soul within him,- but, one who is righteous, by his faithfulness, shall live.

Shall not, these, all of them, against him, take up - a taunt, a mocking poem, enigmatical sentences - concerning him? And say - Alas! for him who maketh abundance in what is not his own, How long? that he should be burdening himself with heavy debts?

Alas! for him who extorteth an extortion of wrong for his own house, - that he may set on high his nest, that he may be delivered from the grasp of calamity.

Alas! for him who buildeth a city with deeds of blood, - and establisheth a town with perversity.

Alas! for him who causeth his neighbour to drink, from the goblet of thy fury, and also, making him drunk, - to the end thou mayest gloat over their parts of shame.

Alas! for him who saith to wood, Awake, bestir thee! to a silent stone, he, shall teach! Though he is overlaid with gold and silver, yet, no spirit whatsoever, is in him!

Howbeit, Yahweh, is in his holy temple, - Hush before him, all the earth.

Before him, marcheth pestilence, - and fever, goeth forth, at his feet:

And them who turn away from following Yahweh, - and have neither sought Yahweh, nor enquired for him.

Terrible will Yahweh be against them, for he hath caused to waste away all the gods of the earth, that men may bow down to him, every one from his place, all the coastlands of the nations:

Surely, then, will I turn unto the peoples a lip made pure, - that they all may call on the name of Yahweh, may serve him with one consent.

Then hearkened Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jehoshua son of Jehozadak the high priest, and all the remnant of the people, unto the voice of Yahweh their God, and unto the words of Haggai the prophet, as Yahweh their God, had sent him, - and the people, stood in awe, before Yahweh.

I looked by night, And lo! a man riding upon a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees, in the shade; and, after him, were horses, red, bay, and white.

And lo! the messenger who was talking with me, coming forward, - and another messenger, coming forward to meet him.

So he said unto him, Run, speak unto this young man, saying: Like open villages, shall Jerusalem remain, for the multitude of men and cattle in her midst;

And he shewed me, Joshua the high priest, standing before the messenger of Yahweh, - and, the Accuser, standing at his right hand, to accuse him.

Then responded he and spake unto those who were standing before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him; and he said unto him, See! I have caused to pass from off thee, thine iniquity, And will cause thee to be clothed in robes of state.

Then said I, Let them put a clean turban upon his head, - So they put the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing up.

Then responded I, and said unto him, - What are these two olive-trees, upon the right of the lampstand, and upon the left thereof?

And I responded a second time, and said unto him, - What are the two branches of the olive- trees which join the two golden tubes, which empty out of them the golden oil?

therefore have I brought it forth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts, And it shall enter - into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth by my name, falsely, - and it shall roost in the midst of his house, and shall consume it, both the timbers thereof, and the stones thereof.

then shalt thou speak unto him, saying, Thus, speaketh Yahweh of hosts, saying, - Lo! a man! Bud, is his name, and, out of his own place, shall he bud forth, and shall build the temple of Yahweh;

That, before those days, hire for man, could not be obtained, and, hire for beast, was there none, - and, neither to him who went out nor to him who came in, was there success by reason of the danger, Yea I let all men loose, each one against his neighbour.

Then will I encamp about my house - against an army, against him that passeth by, and against him that returneth, neither shall an exactor, tread them down any more, - for, now, have I seen with mine own eyes.

From him, the commander, from him, the supporter, from him, the war-bow, - from him, shall proceed every one that driveth on, together;

The oracle of the word of Yahweh, on Israel, - Declareth Yahweh - Stretching out the heavens, and founding the earth, and fashioning the spirit of man within him:

But I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem, the spirit of favour, and of supplications, and they will look unto me, whom they have pierced, - and will wail over him, as one waileth over an only son, and will make bitter outcry over him, as one maketh bitter outcry over a firstborn.

So shall it come about that, when any man shall prophesy again, then will his own father and his own mother, of whom he was born, say unto him, - Thou shalt not live! For falsehood hast thou spoken in the name of Yahweh, - So will his own father and his own mother of whom he was born, pierce him through, when he prophesieth,

Then will one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? And he will say, Wherewith I was wounded in the house of them who loved me.

My covenant, was with him, Life and Well-being, so I gave them to him - I as One to be revered - and he did revere me, - and, before my Name, dismayed, was he.

May Yahweh, cut off, from the man that doeth it - him that crieth out and him that answereth, out of the tents of Jacob, - him also that bringeth near a present to Yahweh of hosts.

For he hateth divorce, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, him also who covereth with violence his own clothing, saith Yahweh of hosts, - therefore should ye take heed to your spirit, and not deal treacherously.

Then, they who revered Yahweh, conversed, one with another, - and Yahweh hearkened, and heard, and there was written a book of remembrance before him, for them who revered Yahweh, and for such as thought of his Name.

Therefore shall they be mine, saith Yahweh of hosts, in the day for which, I, am preparing treasure, - and I will deal tenderly with them, just as a man, dealeth tenderly, with his own son who is serving him.

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.

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, - which I commanded him in Horeb, for all Israel, statutes and regulations.

But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying, - Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of the , Holy, Spirit.

And Joseph, awaking, from his sleep, did as the messenger of the Lord directed him, - and took unto him his wife;

saying - Where is he that hath been born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and have come to bow down to him.

But, when King Herod heard, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

And, they, said to him, In Bethlehem of Judaea, - for, so, is it written through the prophet:

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, by night, and retired into Egypt;

And, he, arising, took unto him the child and its mother, and entered into the land of Israel.

Then, were going forth unto him - Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the country round about the Jordan:

and were being immersed in the Jordan river, by him, openly confessing their sins.

Then, cometh Jesus, from Galilee to the Jordan, unto John, - to be immersed by him.

But, he, would have hindered him, saying - I, have, need, by thee, to be immersed, - and dost, thou, come unto me?

But Jesus answering, said unto him, Suffer me even now, - for, thus, it becometh us, to fulfil, all righteousness; then, he suffered him.

And Jesus, having been immersed, straightway, went up from the water, - and lo! the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God, descending like a dove coming upon him;

And, coming near, the tempter said to him, - If thou art God's, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.

Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city, - and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;

and saith to him - If thou art God's, Son, cast thyself down, - for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.

Jesus said to him, Again, it is written, - Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.

Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain, - and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;

and said to him, All these things, will I give thee, - if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written, - The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.

Then, the adversary leaveth him, - and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.

And, they, straightway, leaving the nets, followed him.

And, they, straightway, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.

And forth went the report of him into all Syria; and they brought unto him all who were sick, with divers diseases and tortures, distressed, demonized and lunatic and paralyzed, - and he cured them.

And there followed him large multitudes - from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judaea, and across the Jordan.

But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, - and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;

Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, - lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.

It was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;

But, I, tell you, not to resist evil, - Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;

And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.

And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:

To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.

do not, therefore, make yourselves like them, for Godyour Father knoweth of what things ye have, need, before ye ask him.

For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth, - and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.

Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf, - a stone, will give him?

Or, a fish also, shall ask, - a serpent, will give him?

If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, him?

And when he came down from the mountain, there followed him large multitudes.

And 1o! a leper, coming near, began to bow down to him saying, - Lord! if thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me.

And, stretching forth the hand, he touched him, saying, - I am willing, be cleansed! And, straightway, cleansed was his leprosy.

And Jesus saith unto him, Mind! tell, no one, - but withdraw, thyself, shew to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses directed, for a witness unto them.
