Egypt, to a desolation, shall be turned, and, Edom, to a desert most desolate, shall be changed, - because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in that they shed innocent blood in their land.

She hath fallen - she cannot again rise, the virgin, Israel, - she lieth forsaken on her soil, there is none to raise her up.

And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, - for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered them , and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.

For dangerous are her wounds, - for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.

Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, - the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been found the transgressions of Israel.

So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me - Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.

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

Emptiness, yea turned to emptiness, aye deserted is she ! with, heart, unnerved, and, a tottering, of knees, and, anguish, in all loins, and, the faces of them all, have withdrawn their colour.

Yet, she, was given up to exile, she went into captivity, even her babes, were dashed to the ground, at the head of all the streets, - and, for her honourable men, cast they lots, and, all her great men, were bound together in chains.

This, is the city exultant, that sat secure, that said in her heart, I, am ! and no one besides! How hath she become a desolation! a lair of beasts, every one passing, by her doth hiss, shaketh his hand.

She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near:

Then said I, What are these, my lord? And the messenger who was speaking with me, said unto me, I, will shew thee what these, are.

Lo! My Lord, shall dispossess her, and smite, into the sea, her fortress, - and, she herself, in fire, shall be consumed.

Yet ye say, For what cause? Because, Yahweh, hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, with whom, thou, hast dealt treacherously, though, she, was thy consort, and thy covenant wife.

Now the birth, of Jesus Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, - before they came together, she was found with child by the Holy Spirit.

Moreover she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, - for, he, will save his people from their sins.

and knew her not, until she had brought forth a son, - and he called his name Jesus.

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.

and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, - and she arose, and began ministering unto him.

While, these things, he was speaking unto them, lo! a certainruler, came, and began bowing down to him, saying, - My daughter, just now died! But come, and lay thy hand upon, her, and she shall live.

For she kept saying within herself, - If only I touch his mantle, I shall be made well!

The queen of the south, will arise in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it - because she came out of the ends of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something greater than Solomon, here.

wherefore, with an oath, he promised to give her, whatsoever she should ask for herself;

and, she, being led on by her mother, - Give me (saith she) here, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.

And his head was brought upon a charger, and given unto the maiden, and she brought it to her mother.

But, he, answered her no a word. And his disciples, coming forward began requesting him, saying - Dismiss her, because she is crying out after us.

And, she, coming, began bowing down to him, saying, Lord! help me.

And, she, said, True, Lord! for, even the little dogs, eat of the crumbs which are falling from the table of, their masters.

And, the Pharisees and Sadducees coming near, putting him to the test, requested him, a sign out of the heaven, to shew unto them.

And, he, said to her - What desirest thou? She saith unto him - Bid, that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left, in thy kingdom.

Shew me the coin appointed for the tax. And, they, brought unto him a denary.

In the resurrection, therefore, - Of which of the seven, shall she be wife? For, all, had her.

there came unto him a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of costly perfume, and she poured it down upon his head, as he was reclining.

But Jesus, taking note, said unto them - Why vex ye the woman? for, a seemly work, hath she wrought for me;

For, she, pouring this perfume upon my body, so as to prepare me for burial, did it.

Verily, I say unto you - Wheresoever this glad-message shall be proclaimed in all the world, also what she did, will be told, as a memorial of her.

and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, - and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them.

and beseecheth him much, saying - My little daughter is at her last! - that, coming, thou wouldest lay thy hands upon her, that she may be made well, and live;

for she was saying - If I can touch so much as his mantle, I shall be made well;

and, straightway, the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she knew, in her body, that she was healed from the plague.

And, straightway, the damsel arose, and was walking about; for she was twelve years of age. And they were beside themselves, straightway, with a great transport;

when the daughter of this very Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those reclining together, and, the king, said unto the damsel - Ask me what thou wilt, and I will give it thee;

And, going out, she said unto her mother - What shall I ask? and she said - The head of John the Immerser;

And, coming in straightway, with hast, unto the king, she asked, saying - I desire, that, forthwith, thou give me, upon a charger, the head of John the Immerser.

but, straightway, a woman hearing about him, whose daughter had an impure spirit, she came and fell down at his feet.

Now, the woman, was a Grecian, a Syrophoenician by race, - and she was requesting him that, the demon, he would cast forth out of her daughter.

but she answered and saith to him - Yea, Lord! and yet, the little dogs under the table, do eat of the crumbs of the children;

and, departing unto her house, she found the child laid prostrate on the couch, and the demon gone forth.

And, if, she, divorcing her husband, marry another, she committeth adultery.

In the resurrection, - of, which, of them shall she be, wife? For, the seven, had her to wife.

For, they all, out of their surplus, cast in, but, she, out of her deficiency, all, as much as she had, cast in, - the whole of her living.

And, he being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining, there came a woman, holding an alabaster-jar of perfume, pure spikenard, very costly; and breaking the jar she was pouring down the perfume , upon his head.

But, Jesus, said - Let her alone! Why are ye reproaching, her? A seemly work, hath she wrought, in me;

What she had, she used, - She took it beforehand to anoint my body for the burial;

And, verily, say unto you - Wheresoever the glad-message shall be proclaimed throughout the whole world, - also what she did, will be told for a memorial of her.

And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper-room, spread ready, and, there, make ye ready for us.

And, after these days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and she disguised herself five months, saying -

And, she, at the word, was greatly troubled, and began to deliberate, of what kind, this salutation, might be.

And lo! Elizabeth thy kinswoman, even she, hath conceived a son in, her old-age; - and, this month, is, the sixth, to her, the so-called barren one;

And, happy, is she who hath believed, that there shall be a perfecting of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord!

And, to Elizabeth, was the time fulfilled, that she should be bringing forth, - and she gave birth to a son.

to enrol himself with Mary who was betrothed to him, she being with child.

and she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

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; -

and, in that very hour, coming near, she began to give thanks unto God, and to speak concerning him unto all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, - of Noah, of Lamech:

And, standing over her, he rebuked the fever, and it left her; and, instantly arising, she began to minister unto them.

Now, as he drew near unto the gate of the city, then lo! there was being brought forth, one dead, the only-begotten son of his mother, - and, she, was a widow; and, a considerable multitude of the city, was with her.

And, 1o! a woman, who indeed was in the city a sinner; and, when she found out that he was reclining in the house of the Pharisee, providing an alabaster-jar of perfume,

and standing behind, near his feet, weeping, with the tears, began she to be wetting his feet, and, with the hair of her head, was wiping off the tears , and was tenderly kissing his feet, and anointing them with the perfume.

But the Pharisee who had invited him, seeing it, spake within himself, saying, This one, if he were the prophet, would have been taking note, who and of what sort, is the woman, who is even touching him, that she is, a sinner.

And, turning towards the woman, unto Simon, he said - Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house: water to me, on my feet, thou didst not give, - but, she, with her tears, hath wetted my feet, and, with her hair, wiped off the tears .

A kiss, to me, thou didst not give, - but, she, from the time I came in, hath not ceased tenderly kissing my feet.

With oil, my head, thou didst not anoint, - but, she, with perfume, hath anointed, my feet.

For which cause, I say unto thee - Her many sins, have been forgiven, because she hath loved, much: but, he to whom little is forgiven, little, loveth.

because he had, an only-begotten daughter, about twelve years old, and, she, was dying. Now, as he withdrew, the multitudes, were hemming him in.

And, the woman seeing that she had not escaped notice, trembling, came, and, falling down before him, reported before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed instantly!

But, Jesus, hearing, answered him - Do not fear! Only believe, and she shall be saved.

And they were all weeping, and beating themselves, for her. And he said - Be not weeping; for she died not, but is sleeping.

And they were deriding him, knowing that she died.

And her spirit returned, and she rose up instantly, and he ordered that something should be given her to eat.

And, she, had a sister, called Mary, who also, seating herself at the feet of the Lord, was hearing his word.

But, Martha, was distracted about much ministering, and, coming near, said - Lord! carest thou not that, my sister, hath left me to be ministering, alone? Speak to her, then, that she help me.

The queen of the south, will rise up, in the judgment, with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; because she came out of the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, - and lo! something more than Solomon, here.

That the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be sought out, from this generation, -

and laid on her his hands; and, instantly, she was made straight again, and began glorifying God.

But, this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo! eighteen years, was there not a needs-be that she should be loosed from this bond, on the day of rest?

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, - and ye did not desire!

Or, what woman, having, ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek carefully, until she find it?

And, having found it, she calleth together her female friends and neighbours, saying - Rejoice with me! because I have found the piece of silver which I had lost.

And, a widow, there was, in that city; and she kept coming unto him, saying - Vindicate me from mine adversary!

Yet, if only because this widow annoyeth me, I will vindicate her, - lest, persistently coming, she wholly wear me out.

Shew me a denary. Of whom, hath it an image and inscription? And, they, said - Of Caesar.

The woman, therefore, in the resurrection, Of which of them, doth she become wife? for, the seven, had her to wife.

For, all these, out of their superfluity, have cast in among the gifts, but, she, out of her deficiency, all the living that she had, hath cast in.

And, he, unto you, will shew, a large upper room, spread: there, make ready.

She saith unto him - Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou, - and, the well, is, deep: - Whence, then, hast thou the living water?

And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair - whose brother Lazarus was sick.

Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting.

She saith unto him - Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, - He who, into the world, should come.
