THE PROPHECY OF ACHIY YAH AGAINST YAROB AM
At that time, Abi Yah the son of Yarob Am sickens; ² and Yarob Am says to his woman, Rise, I beseech thee, and alter yourself, that you not be known to be the woman of Yarob Am; and go to Shiloh: behold, Achiy Yah the prophet there, who worded of me as sovereign over this people: ³ and take in your hand ten bread and crumbs and a container of honey; and go to him: he tells what becomes of the lad. ⁴ And the woman of Yarob Am works thus: and rises and goes to Shiloh and comes to the house of Achiy Yah. - and Achiy Yah cannot see for his eyes rise because of his grayness. ⁵ And Yah Veh says to Achiy Yah, Behold, the woman of Yarob Am comes to enquire a word of you for her son; for he is sick: word thus and thus to her: for so be it, when she comes, she estranges herself to be another. ⁶ And so be it, Achiy Yah hears the voice of her feet as she comes to the portal; and he says, Come in, woman of Yarob Am; why estrange yourself to be another? For I am sent to you with hardness! ⁷ Go, say to Yarob Am, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, Because I exalted you from among the people; and gave you eminence over my people Yisra El; ⁸ and ripped the sovereigndom from the house of David; and gave it to you: and you became not as my servant David - who guarded my misvoth - who walked after me with all his heart - to work only, straight in my eyes: ⁹ and vilified to work above all who are at your face: and went and worked other elohim and molten to vex me; and cast me behind your back: ¹⁰ therefore, behold, I bring evil on the house of Yarob Am, and cut off from Yarob Am him who urinates against the wall, him who restrains and is left in Yisra El; and burn away the posterity of the house of Yarob Am as a man burns away dung balls until they are consumed: ¹¹ he of Yarob Am who dies in the city the dogs devour; and he who dies in the field the flyers of the heavens devour: for Yah Veh has worded. ¹² And you, rise; go to your own house: when your feet enter the city, the child dies: ¹³ and all Yisra El chops over him and entombs him: for of Yarob Am, only, he comes to the tomb; because in him there is found a good word toward Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El in the house of Yarob Am. ¹⁴ And Yah Veh raises a sovereign over Yisra El, to cut off the house of Yarob Am that day. And what? Even now! ¹⁵ For Yah Veh smites Yisra El as a stalk wags in the water; and uproots Yisra El from this good soil he gave to their fathers; and scatters them beyond the river because they work their asherim - vexing Yah Veh: ¹⁶ and he gives up Yisra El because of the sins Yarob Am sins - who had Yisra El sin. ¹⁷ And the woman of Yarob Am rises; and goes and comes to Tirsah: and she comes to the threshold of the house and the lad dies; ¹⁸ and they entomb him; and all Yisra El chops over him - according to the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Achiy Yah the prophet. ¹⁹ And the rest of the words of Yarob Am - how he fought and how he reigned behold, they are inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El: ²⁰ and the days Yarob Am reigns are twenty-two years: and he lies down with his fathers; and Nadab his son reigns in his stead. ²¹
THE REIGN OF RECHAB AM OVER YAH HUDAH
And Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh reigns in Yah Hudah. Rechab Am is a son of forty-one years when he begins to reign; and he reigns seventeen years in Yeru Shalem the city Yah Veh chose from all the scions of Yisra El, to set his name there: and the name of his mother, Naamah - an Ammoniyth. ²² And Yah Hudah works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; and they make him jealous with the sins they sin - above all their fathers worked: ²³ and they - they also built bamahs and monoliths and asherim on every high hill and under every green tree: ²⁴ and there are also hallowed whoremongers in the land who work according to all the abhorrences of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed at the face of the sons of Yisra El. ²⁵ And so be it, in the fifth year of sovereign Rechab Am, Shishak sovereign of Misrayim ascends against Yeru Shalem: ²⁶ and takes the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign: he even takes all: and he takes all the bucklers of gold Shelomoh worked: ²⁷ and in their stead sovereign Rechab Am works copper bucklers and oversees the hands of the governor of the runners, who guard the portal of the house of the sovereign: ²⁸ and so be it, the sovereign goes to the house of Yah Veh and the runners bear them and return them to the runners chamber. ²⁹ And the rest of the words of Rechab Am and all he worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? ³⁰ And so be it, war between Rechab Am and between Yarob Am all days. ³¹ And Rechab Am lies down with his fathers - entombed with his fathers in the city of David. And the name of his mother, Naamah - an Ammoniyth. - and Abi Yam his son reigns in his stead.

BLESSING OF OBEDIENCE
Work neither idols nor sculptiles nor raise a monolith; nor give any imagery of stone in your land to prostrate thereto: for I - Yah Veh your Elohim.

³² and I desolate the land and desolate your enemies who settle therein: ³³ and I scatter you among the goyim and draw a sword after you: and desolate your land and parch your cities. ³⁴ Then the land is pleased in her shabbaths as long as it desolates; with you in the land of your enemies; then the land shabbathizes and is pleased in her shabbaths:

⁴³ For they forsake the land and are pleased in her shabbaths as she lies desolate without them: and they are pleased in their perversity: because - even because they spurn my judgments and because their soul loathes my statutes.

²⁹ And all the witness sees that Aharon expired and they weep for Aharon thirty days - all the house of Yisra El.

²⁶ I call the heavens and earth to witness against you this day, that in destructing, you suddenly destruct from off the land whereunto you pass over Yarden to possess; that you prolong not your days thereon, but in desolating, become desolated: ²⁷ and Yah Veh scatter you among the nations and you be few men in number of the people who survive, where Yah Veh drives you.

⁸ Even in Horeb you enraged Yah Veh, so that Yah Veh was angry with you to desolate you. ⁹ When I ascended the mount to take the slabs of stone - the slabs of the covenant Yah Veh cut with you, I settled in the mount forty days and forty nights: I neither ate bread nor drank water: ¹⁰ and Yah Veh gave me two slabs of stone inscribed with the finger of Elohim: and on them, according to all the words Yah Veh worded with you in the mount from midst the fire in the day of the congregation. ¹¹ And so be it, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Yah Veh gave me the two slabs of stone - the slabs of the covenant: ¹² and Yah Veh said to me, Rise! Descend suddenly from here! For the people you brought forth from Misrayim ruin themselves; suddenly they turn from the way I misvahed them; they work themselves a molten. ¹³ And Yah Veh says to me, saying, I see this people; and behold, a hard necked people: ¹⁴ leave me alone, to desolate them; and wipe out their name from under the heavens: and I work a goyim of you mightier and greater than they. ¹⁵ So I turned my face and descended from the mount and the mount kindled with fire: and the two slabs of the covenant were in my two hands. ¹⁶ And I saw and behold, you sinned against Yah Veh your Elohim and worked a molten calf: suddenly you turned aside from the way Yah Veh misvahed you:

²⁴ You became rebellious against Yah Veh from the day I knew you:

² In destroying, destroy all the places, wherein the goyim you possess serve their elohim - on the exalted mountains and on the hills and under every green tree: ³ and pull down their sacrifice altars and break their monoliths and burn their asherim with fire; and cut down the sculptiles of their elohim and destroy their names from that place. ⁴ But work not thus to Yah Veh your Elohim. ⁵ But to the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses of all your scions to put his name there, seek and enter his tabernacle:

²¹ When the place Yah Veh your Elohim chooses to put his name is too far removed from you, then sacrifice of your oxen and of your flock Yah Veh gives you, as I misvahed you, eat whatever your soul desires within your portals:

²² nor raise a monolith; which Yah Veh your Elohim hates.

THE TORAH ON HALLOWED WHORES No one of the daughters of Yisra El becomes a hallowed whore; and no one of the sons of Yisra El becomes a hallowed whoremaster:

³⁶ Yah Veh carries you and the sovereign you raise over you, to a goyim whom neither you nor your fathers know; and there you serve other elohim - timber and stone.

⁶³ And so be it, as Yah Veh rejoiced over you to well-please you and to abound you; thus Yah Veh rejoices over you to destroy you and to desolate you; and uproot you from the soil you go to possess: ⁶⁴ and Yah Veh scatters you among all people from the end of the earth to the end of the earth; and there you serve other elohim which neither you nor your fathers know - timber and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these goyim you neither blink nor rest the sole of your foot: and there Yah Veh gives you a quivering heart and failing of eyes and sorrow of soul: ⁶⁶ and suspends your life in front of you; and you fear day and night and trust not in your life: ⁶⁷ in the morning you say, O to give that it become evening! and at evening you say, O to give that it become morning! - for the fear of your heart that you fear and for the vision of your eyes that you see. ⁶⁸ And Yah Veh returns you to Misrayim with ships by the way I said to you, You see it never again: and there you sell yourselves to your enemies for servants and maids - and no man chattels you.

²⁴ - even all goyim say, Why works Yah Veh thus to this land? - this great fuming wrath? ²⁵ Then men say, Because they forsake the covenant of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers, which he cut with them when he brought them from the land of Misrayim: ²⁶ and they go and serve other elohim and prostrate to them - elohim they never knew and whom he never allotted to them: ²⁷ and Yah Veh kindles his wrath against this land to bring thereon all the abasements inscribed in this scroll: ²⁸ and Yah Veh uproots them from their soil in wrath - in wrath and in great rage and casts them to another land, as this day.

²⁸ and Yah Veh uproots them from their soil in wrath - in wrath and in great rage and casts them to another land, as this day.

¹⁶ They arouse his jealousy with strangers and with abominations they vex him:

¹⁶ They arouse his jealousy with strangers and with abominations they vex him: ¹⁷ they sacrifice to demons, not to Elohah; to elohim whom they knew not - new - from nearby, who whirled not your fathers.

¹⁷ they sacrifice to demons, not to Elohah; to elohim whom they knew not - new - from nearby, who whirled not your fathers. ¹⁸ Remember the Rock who birthed you: you forgot the El who formed you. ¹⁹ And Yah Veh sees, and scorns, because of the vexation of his sons and of his daughters. ²⁰ And he says, I hide my face from them, I see their finality: - a very froward generation; sons - not trustworthy: ²¹ they move me to jealousy with their non-el; they vex me with their vanities: and I move them to jealousy by a non-people; I vex them by a foolish goyim.

²¹ they move me to jealousy with their non-el; they vex me with their vanities: and I move them to jealousy by a non-people; I vex them by a foolish goyim.

THE ALLOTMENT OF THE REST OF THE LAND And the whole witness of the sons of Yisra El congregates at Shiloh and there they tabernacle the tent of the congregation: and the land is subdued at their face:

¹⁵ So be it, as all good words come on you, which Yah Veh your Elohim words you; thus Yah Veh brings on you all evil words, until he desolates you from off this good soil which Yah Veh your Elohim gives you; ¹⁶ in trespassing the covenant of Yah Veh your Elohim which he misvahed you; and go and serve other elohim and bow yourselves to them; then Yah Veh kindles his wrath against you and you destruct quickly from off the good land he has given to you.

¹²
YISRA EL IN SERVITUDE
And the sons of Yisra El add to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh: and Yah Veh strengthens Eglon the sovereign of Moab against Yisra El because they work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh.

¹
SONS OF YISRA EL ARE SOLD
And after Ehud dies, the sons of Yisra El add to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh:

⁸ They choose new elohim; then fight in the portals: is there a buckler or javelin seen among forty thousand in Yisra El?

²²
THE SONS OF BELI YAAL EXPLOIT THE CONCUBINE
They well-prepare their hearts, and behold, the men of the city - men - sons of Beli Yaal beset the house all around and beat at the door and say to the man of the house - the old man, saying, Bring forth the man who came into your house, that we may know him.

²⁰ And Eli blesses El Qanah and his woman, and says, Yah Veh sets you seed of this woman for the petition she asked of Yah Veh. And they go to their place; ²¹ and Yah Veh visits Hannah so that she conceives and births three sons and two daughters: and the lad Shemu El grows at the face of Yah Veh. ²² And Eli is mighty old, and hears of all his sons work to all Yisra El; and how they lie down with the women who host at the opening of the tent of the congregation. ²³ And he says to them, Why work you according to these words? for I hear of your evil words by all this people. ²⁴ No, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: you cause the people of Yah Veh to trespass. ²⁵ When one man sins against man, Elohim prays for him: but when a man sins against Yah Veh, who prays for him? And they hearken not to the voice of their father, because Yah Veh desires to deathify them. ²⁶ And the lad Shemu El walks on and greatens, and is goodly - both with Yah Veh and also with men. ²⁷
PROPHECY AGAINST THE HOUSEHOLD OF ELI And a man of Elohim comes to Eli, and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh: In exposing, exposed I myself to the house of your father when they were in Misrayim in the house of Paroh?

²⁷
PROPHECY AGAINST THE HOUSEHOLD OF ELI And a man of Elohim comes to Eli, and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh: In exposing, exposed I myself to the house of your father when they were in Misrayim in the house of Paroh? ²⁸ And of all the scions of Yisra El choose I him to be my priest? - to holocaust on my sacrifice altar? To incense incense? - to bear an ephod at my face? - to give the house of your father all the firings of the sons of Yisra El?

²⁸ And of all the scions of Yisra El choose I him to be my priest? - to holocaust on my sacrifice altar? To incense incense? - to bear an ephod at my face? - to give the house of your father all the firings of the sons of Yisra El? ²⁹ Why trample you at my sacrifice and at my offering which I misvah in my habitation? - and honor your sons above me to cut the firstlings of all the offerings of Yisra El my people?

²⁹ Why trample you at my sacrifice and at my offering which I misvah in my habitation? - and honor your sons above me to cut the firstlings of all the offerings of Yisra El my people? ³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase.

³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase.

³⁰ So - an oracle of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El In saying, I say, that your house and the house of your father walk at my face eternally: and now - an oracle of Yah Veh far be it from me; for they who honor me, I honor; and they who despise me, I abase. ³¹ Behold, the days come, that I cut off your arm and the arm of the house of your father that there not be an old man in your house. ³² And you, look at the tribulation of my habitation, in all that Elohim well-prepares for Yisra El: that there not be an old man in your house all days: ³³ and the man of yours, whom I cut not off from my sacrifice altar, finishes off your eyes and lanquishes your soul: and of all the increase of your house, these men die. ³⁴ And this is a sign to you to come on your two sons - on Hophni and Pinechas; in one day they die - both of them:

² And so be it, at that day, Eli lies down in his place and his eyes begin to fade so he cannot see;

³ and when the people come into the camp the elders of Yisra El say, Yah Veh - why smites he us today at the face of the Peleshethiy? Let us take the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh from Shiloh to us; to come among us and save us from the palm of our enemies. ⁴ So the people send to Shiloh, and from there bear the ark of the covenant of Yah Veh Sabaoth which settles between the cherubim: and Hophni and Pinechas the two sons of Eli are there with the ark of the covenant of Elohim:

¹⁵ And Eli is a son of ninety-eight years; and his eyes rise so he cannot see.

¹⁸ And so be it, he remembers the ark of Elohim, and he falls off the throne backward through the handle of the portal; and his neck breaks and he dies: for he is an old man and heavy. And he judges Yisra El forty years. ¹⁹
THE BIRTH OF IY CHABOD
And his daughter in law, the woman of Pinechas, conceives, near to birth: and when she hears the report that they took the ark of Elohim and deathified her father in law and her man, she bows herself and births; for her pains turn on her. ²⁰ And about the time she dies, the women stationed by her word to her, Awe not; you birth a son. But she neither answers, nor sets her heart:

¹¹ and he says, This becomes the judgment of the sovereign who reigns over you: He takes your sons and sets them for himself for his chariots and for his cavalry; at the face of his chariots;

⁷ Then says Shaul to his lad, And behold, if we go, what we bring the man? for the bread disappears in our instruments and there is no gift to bring to the man of Elohim. What have we? ⁸ And the lad adds to answer Shaul and says, Behold, I find in my hand the fourth of a shekel of silver: which I give to the man of Elohim to tell us our way.

²⁵ But if in vilifying, you vilify, you are scraped away - both you and your sovereign.

¹⁶ Then Shemu El says to Shaul, Loosen up and I tell you what Yah Veh worded me this night. And he says to him, Word.

²⁶ And Shemu El says to Shaul, I return not with you: for you refused the word of Yah Veh and Yah Veh refuses you from being sovereign over Yisra El.

¹⁷ And the sovereign says to the runners stationed around him, Turn and deathify the priests of Yah Veh: because their hand is also with David; and because they know when he flees and expose it not in my ear. And the servants of the sovereign will to not send forth their hand to encounter the priests of Yah Veh.

²² may Elohim add to work thus to the enemies of David, if, of all he has, I let survive toward the morning light any who urinate against the wall.

³⁴ And as Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El lives, who withheld me from vilifying you, unless you had hastened to come to meet me, there had not remained to Nabal by the morning light any who urinates against the wall.

⁸ And Shaul searches and enrobes other clothes; and he goes with two men and they come to the woman by night. And he says, I beseech you, divine to me by the necromancer and ascend to me whom I say to you.

¹⁸ because you neither hearkened to the voice of Yah Veh nor worked his fuming wrath on Amaleq: so Yah Veh works this word to you this day.

² and the Peleshethiy adhere to Shaul and his sons; and the Peleshethiy smite Yah Nathan and Abi Nadab and Malki Shua - sons of Shaul:

⁷ And Nathan says to David, You are the man! Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, I anointed you sovereign over Yisra El and I rescued you from the hand of Shaul; ⁸ and I give you the house of your adoni and the women of your adoni into your bosom and give you the house of Yisra El and of Yah Hudah; and if that be too little, I had added these and those to you.

¹⁵ - and Nathan goes to his house. And Yah Veh smites the child the woman of Uri Yah births to David and it becomes very sick:

² and Yah Ab sends to Teqoha and takes thence a wise woman and says to her, I pray you, feign yourself to be a mourner and enrobe mourning clothes; and anoint not yourself with oil: and be as a woman who mourns for the dead many days:

¹
THE CONSPIRACY OF ABI SHALOM
And so be it, afterward, Abi Shalom works him chariots and horses and fifty men to run at his face:

¹⁰ So David lies down with his fathers entombed in the city of David:

² only, the people sacrifice in bamahs because of no house being built to the name of Yah Veh until those days:

¹⁴ and if you walk in my ways to guard my statutes and my misvoth as your father David walked, then I prolong your days.

⁵¹ Thus they shalam all the work sovereign Shelomoh works for the house of Yah Veh. And Shelomoh brings in the holies of David his father: he gives the silver and the gold and the instruments among the treasures of the house of Yah Veh.

¹⁶ Since the day I brought my people Yisra El from Misrayim, I chose no city from all the scions of Yisra El to build a house for my name to be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Yisra El.

⁴⁴ When your people go out to war against their enemy in the way you send them, and pray to Yah Veh toward the city you chose and toward the house I built for your name,

¹⁶ And sovereign Shelomoh works two hundred shields of beaten gold; six hundred gold ascends to one shield: ¹⁷ and three hundred bucklers of beaten gold; three maneh of gold ascends to one buckler: and the sovereign gives them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

²⁹ and so be it, at that time, Yarob Am goes from Yeru Shalem, and the prophet Achiy Yah the Shilohiy finds him in the way; and he covers himself with new clothes; and the two are alone in the field:

²⁹ and so be it, at that time, Yarob Am goes from Yeru Shalem, and the prophet Achiy Yah the Shilohiy finds him in the way; and he covers himself with new clothes; and the two are alone in the field: ³⁰ and Achiy Yah manipulates the new clothes on him and shreds it in twelve shreds:

³⁰ and Achiy Yah manipulates the new clothes on him and shreds it in twelve shreds: ³¹ and he says to Yarob Am, Take ten shreads: for thus says Yah Veh, the Elohim of Yisra El, Behold, I shred the sovereigndom from the hand of Shelomoh and give ten scions to you:

³¹ and he says to Yarob Am, Take ten shreads: for thus says Yah Veh, the Elohim of Yisra El, Behold, I shred the sovereigndom from the hand of Shelomoh and give ten scions to you: ³² and he has one scion for sake of my servant David and for sake of Yeru Shalem the city I chose from all the scions of Yisra El:

³² and he has one scion for sake of my servant David and for sake of Yeru Shalem the city I chose from all the scions of Yisra El: ³³ because they forsake me and prostrate to Ashtoreth elohim of the Sidoniy, Kemosh elohim of the Moabiy, and Milchom elohim of the sons of Ammon; and walk not in my ways to work straight in my eyes and in my statutes and in my judgments as David his father: ³⁴ but I take not the whole sovereigndom from his hand: but I set him hierarch all the days of his life for sake of David my servant; whom I chose because he guarded my misvoth and my statutes: ³⁵ and I take the sovereigndom from the hand of his son and give it to you - the ten scions: ³⁶ and to his son I give one scion; so David my servant has a lamp all days at my face in Yeru Shalem - the city I chose to set my name there.

³⁶ and to his son I give one scion; so David my servant has a lamp all days at my face in Yeru Shalem - the city I chose to set my name there. ³⁷ And I take you and you reign according to all your soul desires being sovereign over Yisra El: ³⁸ and so be it, if you hearken to all I misvah you and walk in my ways and work straight in my eyes - to guard my statutes and my misvoth as David my servant worked; I am with you and build you a trustworthy house as I built for David; and give Yisra El to you:

⁴⁰ And Shelomoh seeks to deathify Yarob Am. And Yarob Am rises and flees to Misrayim - to Shishak sovereign of Misrayim; and is in Misrayim until the death of Shelomoh. ⁴¹ And the rest of the words of Shelomoh and all he worked and his wisdom - are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of Shelomoh?

⁴³ And Shelomoh lies down with his fathers entombed in the city of David his father: and Rechab Am his son reigns in his stead.

²¹ And Rechab Am comes to Yeru Shalem, and he congregates all the house of Yah Hudah with the scion of Ben Yamin - a hundred and eighty thousand chosen men who work war - to fight against the house of Yisra El - to return the sovereigndom to Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh.

²⁴ Thus says Yah Veh: Neither ascend nor fight against your brothers the sons of Yisra El: return every man to his house; for this word is from me. - and they hear the word of Yah Veh and return to go according to the word of Yah Veh.

²⁸ And the sovereign takes counsel and works two calves of gold, and says to them, Too much for you to ascend to Yeru Shalem: behold your Elohim, O Yisra El, who ascended you from the land of Misrayim.

³⁰ and this word becomes a sin: for the people go at the face of the one, to Dan.

⁷ And the sovereign words to the man of Elohim, Come home with me and support yourself; and I give you a gift.

²⁰ And so be it, they settle at the table, and the word of Yah Veh comes to the prophet who returned him: ²¹ and he calls to the man of Elohim who came from Yah Hudah, saying, Thus saith Yah Veh, Because you rebel the mouth of Yah Veh, and guard not the misvah Yah Veh your Elohim misvahs you; ²² and return, and eat bread and drink water in the place whereof he worded you, Neither eat bread nor drink water; your carcase comes not to the tomb of your fathers.

³³ After this word Yarob Am returns not from his evil way, but returns and works from the ends of the people priests of the bamahs: whoever delights, he fills his hand, and he becomes a priest of the bamahs. ³⁴ And this word becomes the sin of the house of Yarob Am to cut off and to desolate from off the face of the soil.

³⁴ And this word becomes the sin of the house of Yarob Am to cut off and to desolate from off the face of the soil.

THE PROPHECY OF ACHIY YAH AGAINST YAROB AM
At that time, Abi Yah the son of Yarob Am sickens; ² and Yarob Am says to his woman, Rise, I beseech thee, and alter yourself, that you not be known to be the woman of Yarob Am; and go to Shiloh: behold, Achiy Yah the prophet there, who worded of me as sovereign over this people: ³ and take in your hand ten bread and crumbs and a container of honey; and go to him: he tells what becomes of the lad.

⁵ And Yah Veh says to Achiy Yah, Behold, the woman of Yarob Am comes to enquire a word of you for her son; for he is sick: word thus and thus to her: for so be it, when she comes, she estranges herself to be another.

⁵ And Yah Veh says to Achiy Yah, Behold, the woman of Yarob Am comes to enquire a word of you for her son; for he is sick: word thus and thus to her: for so be it, when she comes, she estranges herself to be another. ⁶ And so be it, Achiy Yah hears the voice of her feet as she comes to the portal; and he says, Come in, woman of Yarob Am; why estrange yourself to be another? For I am sent to you with hardness!

⁹ and vilified to work above all who are at your face: and went and worked other elohim and molten to vex me; and cast me behind your back: ¹⁰ therefore, behold, I bring evil on the house of Yarob Am, and cut off from Yarob Am him who urinates against the wall, him who restrains and is left in Yisra El; and burn away the posterity of the house of Yarob Am as a man burns away dung balls until they are consumed: ¹¹ he of Yarob Am who dies in the city the dogs devour; and he who dies in the field the flyers of the heavens devour: for Yah Veh has worded. ¹² And you, rise; go to your own house: when your feet enter the city, the child dies: ¹³ and all Yisra El chops over him and entombs him: for of Yarob Am, only, he comes to the tomb; because in him there is found a good word toward Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El in the house of Yarob Am.

¹³ and all Yisra El chops over him and entombs him: for of Yarob Am, only, he comes to the tomb; because in him there is found a good word toward Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El in the house of Yarob Am.

¹⁵ For Yah Veh smites Yisra El as a stalk wags in the water; and uproots Yisra El from this good soil he gave to their fathers; and scatters them beyond the river because they work their asherim - vexing Yah Veh: ¹⁶ and he gives up Yisra El because of the sins Yarob Am sins - who had Yisra El sin.

¹⁶ and he gives up Yisra El because of the sins Yarob Am sins - who had Yisra El sin. ¹⁷ And the woman of Yarob Am rises; and goes and comes to Tirsah: and she comes to the threshold of the house and the lad dies;

¹⁹ And the rest of the words of Yarob Am - how he fought and how he reigned behold, they are inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El: ²⁰ and the days Yarob Am reigns are twenty-two years: and he lies down with his fathers; and Nadab his son reigns in his stead. ²¹
THE REIGN OF RECHAB AM OVER YAH HUDAH
And Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh reigns in Yah Hudah. Rechab Am is a son of forty-one years when he begins to reign; and he reigns seventeen years in Yeru Shalem the city Yah Veh chose from all the scions of Yisra El, to set his name there: and the name of his mother, Naamah - an Ammoniyth. ²² And Yah Hudah works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; and they make him jealous with the sins they sin - above all their fathers worked: ²³ and they - they also built bamahs and monoliths and asherim on every high hill and under every green tree: ²⁴ and there are also hallowed whoremongers in the land who work according to all the abhorrences of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed at the face of the sons of Yisra El.

²⁹ And the rest of the words of Rechab Am and all he worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? ³⁰ And so be it, war between Rechab Am and between Yarob Am all days. ³¹ And Rechab Am lies down with his fathers - entombed with his fathers in the city of David. And the name of his mother, Naamah - an Ammoniyth. - and Abi Yam his son reigns in his stead.

³ And he walks in all the sins his father worked at his face: and his heart is not at shalom with Yah Veh his Elohim as the heart of David his father:

⁵ because David worked straight in the eyes of Yah Veh and turned not aside from all he misvahed him all the days of his life, except only, in the word of Uri Yah the Hethiy: ⁶ and so be it, war between Rechab Am and between Yarob Am all the days of his life. ⁷ And the rest of the words of Abi Yam and all he worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? And so be it, war between Abi Yam and between Yarob Am:

¹² and he passes the hallowed whoremongers from the land, and turns aside all the idols his fathers worked:

¹⁸ and Asa takes all the silver and the gold remaining in the treasures of the house of Yah Veh, and the treasures of the house of the sovereign, and gives them to the hand of his servants: and sovereign Asa sends them to Ben Hadad the son of Tab Rimon the son of Hezyon sovereign of Aram; who settles at Dammeseq, saying,

²¹ And so be it, Basha hears, and he ceases building Ramah and settles in Tirsah.

²³ The rest of all the words of Asa, and all his might, and all he worked, and the cities he built, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? Only, in the time of his old age he was sick in his feet: ²⁴ and Asa lies down with his fathers and is entombed with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Yah Shaphat his son reigns in his stead. ²⁵
THE REIGN OF NADAB OVER YAH HUDAH
And Nadab the son of Yarob Am reigns over Yisra El in the second year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah; and reigns over Yisra El two years:

²⁵
THE REIGN OF NADAB OVER YAH HUDAH
And Nadab the son of Yarob Am reigns over Yisra El in the second year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah; and reigns over Yisra El two years: ²⁶ and he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; and walks in the way of his father and in his sin wherewith he has Yisra El sin.

²⁶ and he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh; and walks in the way of his father and in his sin wherewith he has Yisra El sin. ²⁷ And Basha the son of Achiy Yah of the house of Yissachar conspires against him; and Basha smites him at Gibbethon which is to the Peleshethiy; and Nadab and all Yisra El besiege Gibbethon.

²⁷ And Basha the son of Achiy Yah of the house of Yissachar conspires against him; and Basha smites him at Gibbethon which is to the Peleshethiy; and Nadab and all Yisra El besiege Gibbethon.

²⁷ And Basha the son of Achiy Yah of the house of Yissachar conspires against him; and Basha smites him at Gibbethon which is to the Peleshethiy; and Nadab and all Yisra El besiege Gibbethon. ²⁸ Yes, Basha deathifies him in the third year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and reigns in his stead.

²⁸ Yes, Basha deathifies him in the third year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and reigns in his stead.

²⁸ Yes, Basha deathifies him in the third year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah and reigns in his stead. ²⁹ And so be it, he reigns, and he smites all the house of Yarob Am; he leaves Yarob Am no survivors to breathe until he desolates him according unto the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Achiy Yah the Shilohiy:

²⁹ And so be it, he reigns, and he smites all the house of Yarob Am; he leaves Yarob Am no survivors to breathe until he desolates him according unto the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Achiy Yah the Shilohiy:

²⁹ And so be it, he reigns, and he smites all the house of Yarob Am; he leaves Yarob Am no survivors to breathe until he desolates him according unto the word Yah Veh worded by the hand of his servant Achiy Yah the Shilohiy: ³⁰ because of the sins Yarob Am sins, and which he has Yisra El sin; by his vexation whereby he vexes Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El.

³⁰ because of the sins Yarob Am sins, and which he has Yisra El sin; by his vexation whereby he vexes Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El.

³⁰ because of the sins Yarob Am sins, and which he has Yisra El sin; by his vexation whereby he vexes Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El. ³¹ And the rest of the words of Nadab and all he worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

³¹ And the rest of the words of Nadab and all he worked, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

³³
THE REIGN OF BASHA OVER YISRA EL
In the third year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Basha the son of Achiy Yah begins to reign over all Yisra El in Tirsah - twenty-four years: ³⁴ and he works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh and walks in the way of Yarob Am and in his sin which he has Yisra El sin.

² Because I exalted you from the dust and gave you eminence over my people Yisra El; and you walk in the way of Yarob Am and have my people Yisra El sin - to vex me with their sins:

⁴ He of Basha who dies in the city, the dogs devour; and he of his who dies in the fields, the flyers of the heavens devour. ⁵ And the rest of the words of Basha and what he worked and his might; are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? ⁶ And Basha lies down with his fathers - entombed in Tirsah: and Elah his son reigns in his stead. ⁷ And so be it, by the hand of the prophet Yah Hu the son of Hanani the word of Yah Veh comes against Basha and against his house for all the evil he works in the eyes of Yah Veh - in vexing him with the work of his hands in being as the house of Yarob Am; and because he smote him. ⁸
THE REIGN OF ELAH OVER YISRA EL
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Elah the son of Basha begins to reign over Yisra El in Tirsah, two years: ⁹ and his servant Zimri governor of half his chariots conspires against him as he is in Tirsah - drinking himself intoxicated in the house of Arsa the steward of the house in Tirsah:

¹¹ And so be it, he begins to reign; and as soon as he settles on his throne he smites all the house of Basha so that not one who urinates against a wall survives - neither of his redeemers nor of his friends:

¹⁴ And the rest of the words of Elah, and all he works, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El? ¹⁵
THE REIGN OF ZIMRI OVER YISRA EL
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Zimri reigns seven days in Tirsah. And the people encamp against Gibbethon who are to the Peleshethiy.

²⁰ And the rest of the words of Zimri and the conspiracy he conspired: are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

²³ In the thirty-first year of Asa sovereign of Yah Hudah Omri begins to reign over Yisra El, twelve years: he reigns six years in Tirsah:

²⁷ And the rest of the words Omri works and the might he works; are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

³⁰ And Ach Ab the son of Omri works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh above all at his face. ³¹ And so be it, as trifling for him to walk in the sins of Yarob Am the son of Nebat, he takes to woman Iy Zebel the daughter of Eth Baal sovereign of the Sidoniy; and goes and serves Baal and prostrates to him:

⁴⁶ And the hand of Yah Veh is on Eli Yah; and he girds his loins and runs at the face of Ach Ab to enter Yizre El.

⁴² and he says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Because you send away from your hand a man whom I devoted to destruction, so be it, your soul for his soul and your people for his people.

¹⁸ Rise! Descend to meet Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El, who is in Shomeron: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he descends to possess it: ¹⁹ and word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: You - murder? And also possess? And word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: In the place dogs lapped the blood of Naboth dogs lap your blood - even yours.

¹⁹ and word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: You - murder? And also possess? And word to him, saying, Thus says Yah Veh: In the place dogs lapped the blood of Naboth dogs lap your blood - even yours. ²⁰ And Ach Ab says to Eli Yah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he says, I have found: because you sold yourself to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh: ²¹ behold, I bring evil on you and burn away your posterity and cut off from Ach Ab all who urinate against the wall and who are restrained and left in Yisra El:

²¹ behold, I bring evil on you and burn away your posterity and cut off from Ach Ab all who urinate against the wall and who are restrained and left in Yisra El: ²² and give your house as the house of Yarob Am the son of Nebat and as the house of Basha the son of Achiy Yah for the vexation whereby you vex me and have Yisra El sin. ²³ And Yah Veh also words of Iy Zebel, saying, The dogs devour Iy Zebel by the trench of Yizre El. ²⁴ He who dies of Ach Ab in the city the dogs devour; and he who dies in the field the flyers of the heavens devour.

⁸ And the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, There is still one man, Michah Yah the son of Yimlah, by whom we may enquire of Yah Veh: but I hate him; for he prophesies no good concerning me; but evil. And Yah Shaphat says, O that the sovereign not say thus.

³⁰ and the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, I disguise myself and enter the war; but you enrobe your clothes. - and the sovereign of Yisra El disguises himself and goes to war.

³⁹ And the rest of the words of Ach Ab and all he worked and the ivory house he built and all the cities he built are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yisra El?

⁴⁵ And the rest of the words of Yah Shaphat - the might he worked and how he fought are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah? ⁴⁶ And the remnant of the hallowed whoremongers who survived in the days of his father Asa, he burns from the land:

⁵⁰ And Yah Shaphat lies down with his fathers and is entombed with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Yah Ram his son reigns in his stead.

² And Achaz Yah falls through a lattice in his upper room in Shomeron and is sick: and he sends angels and says to them, Go, enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron if I live of this sickness.

⁶ And they say to him, A man ascends to meet us, and says to us, Go! Return to the sovereign who sent you and word to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Is it because there is no elohim in Yisra El that you send to enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron? so you descend not from that bed you ascended; but in dying, you die.

¹⁶ And he words to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Why send you angels to enquire of Baal Zebub the elohim of Eqron, is it because there is no Elohim in Yisra El to enquire of his word? So you descend not from that bed you ascended, but in dying, you die.

²⁷ And when she comes to the man of Elohim to the mountain, she holds him by the feet: and Gay Chazi approaches to expel her. And the man of Elohim says, Release her; for her soul is embittered: and Yah Veh concealed it from me and told me not.

⁴² And a man comes from Baal Shalishah and brings the man of Elohim bread of the firstfruits, twenty bread of barley; and of the orchard, in the sack: and he says, Give to the people to eat.

⁵ And the sovereign of Aram says, Go! Go, and I send a scroll to the sovereign of Yisra El. And he goes; and in his hand he takes ten rounds of silver and six thousand of gold and ten changes of clothes:

¹⁵ And he returns to the man of Elohim - he and all his camp and come and stand at his face: and he says, Behold, now I know there is no Elohim in all the earth except in Yisra El: and now, I beseech you, take a blessing of your servant.

⁸ And the sovereign of Aram fights Yisra El and counsels with his servants, saying, In such and such a place is my encampment. ⁹ And the man of Elohim sends to the sovereign of Yisra El, saying, Guard that you not pass this place; for the Aramiy descend there: ¹⁰ and the sovereign of Yisra El sends to the place of which the man of Elohim says; and enlightens him; and guards himself there - neither once nor twice. ¹¹ And the heart of the sovereign of Aram storms about because of this word; and he calls his servants and says to them, Tell you me not who of us is for the sovereign of Yisra El? ¹² And one of his servants says, None, my adoni, O sovereign: for Eli Shua, the prophet in Yisra El, tells the sovereign of Yisra El the words you word in your bedchamber.

⁷
ELI SHUA PROPHESIES EVIL
And Eli Shua comes to Dammeseq; and Ben Hadad the sovereign of Aram is sick; and they tell him, saying, The man of Elohim comes here. ⁸ And the sovereign says to Haza El, Take an offering in your hand and go meet the man of Elohim and enquire of Yah Veh by him, saying, Live I of this sickness? ⁹ And Haza El goes to meet him and takes an offering in his hand even of every good of Dammeseq - the burden of forty camels and comes and stands at his face and says, Your son Ben Hadad sovereign of Aram sends me to you, saying, Live I of this sickness?

⁸ for the whole house of Ach Ab destructs: and I cut off from Ach Ab he who urinates against the wall and he who is restrained and left in Yisra El: ⁹ and I give the house of Ach Ab as the house of Yarob Am the son of Nebat and as the house of Basha the son of Achiy Yah:

³⁷ and the carcase of Iy Zebel becomes as dung on the face of the field in the allotment of Yizre El; so that they not say, This is Iy Zebel.

²⁶ For Yah Veh sees the humiliation of Yisra El, - mighty rebelling: for neither are any finally restrained nor any finally left nor any helper for Yisra El.

²⁹ In the days of Peqach sovereign of Yisra El Tilgath Pileser sovereign of Ashshur comes and takes Iyon and Abel Beth Maachah and Yanochah and Qedesh and Hasor and Gilad and Galiyl - all the land of Naphtali and exiles them to Ashshur.

⁶
YISRA EL EXILED
In the ninth year of Hoshea the sovereign of Ashshur captures Shomeron and exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and sets them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan and in the cities of the Madaim. ⁷ And so be it, the sons of Yisra El sin against Yah Veh their Elohim - who ascended them from the land of Misrayim from under the hand of Paroh sovereign of Misrayim - and they awe other elohim

⁹ and the sons of Yisra El covertly work words that are not right against Yah Veh their Elohim: and they build bamahs in all their cities from the tower of the guards to the fortified city: ¹⁰ and they station monoliths and asherim in every high hill and under every green tree:

¹⁹ Yah Hudah also guards not the misvoth of Yah Veh their Elohim but walks in the statutes Yisra El works.

²³ until Yah Veh turns Yisra El aside from his face, as he worded by the hand of all his servants the prophets: thus Yisra El is exiled from their own soil to Ashshur to this day.

¹¹ and the sovereign of Ashshur exiles Yisra El to Ashshur; and guides them in Halach and in Habor by the river Gozan; and in the cities of the Madaim: ¹² because they hearken not to the voice of Yah Veh their Elohim; but trespass his covenant; and all that Mosheh the servant of Yah Veh misvahed they neither hearken nor work them.

³ And he returns and builds the bamahs Yechizqi Yah his father destroyed; and he raises sacrifice altars for Baal and works an asherah as Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El worked; and prostrates to all the host of the heavens and serves them.

³ And he returns and builds the bamahs Yechizqi Yah his father destroyed; and he raises sacrifice altars for Baal and works an asherah as Ach Ab sovereign of Yisra El worked; and prostrates to all the host of the heavens and serves them. ⁴ And he builds sacrifice altars in the house of Yah Veh; of which Yah Veh said, In Yeru Shalem I set my name: ⁵ and he builds sacrifice altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of Yah Veh: ⁶ and he passes his son through the fire and cloudgazes and prognosticates and works with necromancers and knowers: he abounds to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh to vex him: ⁷ and he sets a sculptile of the asherah he worked in the house, of which Yah Veh said to David and to Shelomoh his son, In this house and in Yeru Shalem, which I chose from all scions of Yisra El, I set my name eternally:

¹¹ Because Menash Sheh sovereign of Yah Hudah works these abhorrences and vilifies above all the Emoriy worked at his face and also has Yah Hudah sin with his idols:

¹³ and over Yeru Shalem I spread the line of Shomeron and the plumb line of the house of Ach Ab: and I wipe Yeru Shalem - wipe as wiping a bowl, and turn it to descend on its face:

⁷ and he pulls down the houses of the hallowed whoremongers by the house of Yah Veh, where the women weave housings for the asherah:

²⁶ Only, Yah Veh turns not from his fuming great wrath, whereby he kindles his wrath against Yah Hudah, because of all the vexations Menash Sheh vexed him.

¹³ and from there he brings all the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign; and chops all the instruments of gold Shelomoh sovereign of Yisra El worked in the manse of Yah Veh as Yah Veh worded.

¹⁰
GENEALOGY OF THE SOVEREIGNS OF YAH HUDAH
And the son of Shelomoh is Rechab Am, Abi Yah his son, Asa his son, Yah Shaphat his son,

²⁴ Yah Ab the son of Seruyah begins to number, but finishes not, for a rage falls against Yisra El; and the number ascends not in the account of the words of the days of sovereign David.

¹⁵ And sovereign Shelomoh works two hundred shields of beaten gold: six hundred of beaten gold ascend to one shield; ¹⁶ and three hundred bucklers of beaten gold: three hundred of gold ascend to one buckler; and the sovereign gives them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

¹⁵ And he stands priests for the bamahs and for the bucks and for the calves he works:

¹
RECHAB AM FORSAKES THE TORAH
And so be it, Rechab Am establishes the sovereigndom and strengthens himself, and he forsakes the torah of Yah Veh and all Yisra El with him. ²
SOVEREIGN OF MISRAYIM ASCENDS AGAINST YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the fifth year of sovereign Rechab Am, Shishak sovereign of Misrayim ascends against Yeru Shalem - because they treasoned against Yah Veh ³ with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand cavalry: and people without number come with him from Misrayim - the Lubiym, the Sukkiym and the Kushiym: ⁴ and he captures the rampart cities of Yah Hudah and comes to Yeru Shalem.

⁹ And Shishak sovereign of Misrayim ascends against Yeru Shalem and takes away the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign - he takes all: and he takes the bucklers of gold Shelomoh worked:

⁹ And Shishak sovereign of Misrayim ascends against Yeru Shalem and takes away the treasures of the house of Yah Veh and the treasures of the house of the sovereign - he takes all: and he takes the bucklers of gold Shelomoh worked: ¹⁰ and in their stead sovereign Rechab Am works bucklers of copper and gives their oversight to the hands of the governor of the runners who guard the portal of the house of the sovereign. ¹¹ And the sovereign enters the house of Yah Veh, and the runners come and lift them and return them to the runners chamber.

¹¹ And the sovereign enters the house of Yah Veh, and the runners come and lift them and return them to the runners chamber. ¹² And he humbles himself, the wrath of Yah Veh turns from him, to not ruin him fully: and also in Yah Hudah all goes good. ¹³ And sovereign Rechab Am strengthens himself in Yeru Shalem and reigns: for Rechab Am is a son of forty-one years when he begins to reign; and he reigns seventeen years in Yeru Shalem - the city Yah Veh chose from all the scions of Yisra El to set his name there. And the name of his mother, Naamah - an Ammoniyth: ¹⁴ and he works evil, because he prepares not his heart to seek Yah Veh. ¹⁵ And the words of Rechab Am, first and last, are they not inscribed in the words of Shema Yah the prophet? And genealogized by Iddo the seer? And the wars of Rechab Am and Yarob Am all days?

¹⁵ And the words of Rechab Am, first and last, are they not inscribed in the words of Shema Yah the prophet? And genealogized by Iddo the seer? And the wars of Rechab Am and Yarob Am all days? ¹⁶ And Rechab Am lies down with his fathers - entombed in the city of David: and Abi Yah his son reigns in his stead.

¹⁶ And Rechab Am lies down with his fathers - entombed in the city of David: and Abi Yah his son reigns in his stead.

² he reigns three years in Yeru Shalem: and the name of his mother, Michah Yah the daughter of Uri El of Gibah. And so be it, war between Abi Yah and between Yarob Am: ³ and Abi Yah lines up for war with an army of mighty of valour - four hundred thousand chosen men: and Yarob Am lines up in war against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men mighty of valour. ⁴ And Abi Yah rises on mount Semarayim, in mount Ephrayim, and says, Hear me, you Yarob Am and all Yisra El; ⁵ Ought you not to know that Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El gives the sovereigndom over Yisra El to David eternally? - to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt? ⁶ And Yarob Am the son of Nebat, the servant of Shelomoh the son of David, rises and rebels against his adoni! ⁷ And vain men, the sons of Beli Yaal gather to him and strengthen themselves against Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: and Rechab Am is a lad of tender heart and cannot strengthen himself at their face.

⁷ And vain men, the sons of Beli Yaal gather to him and strengthen themselves against Rechab Am the son of Shelomoh: and Rechab Am is a lad of tender heart and cannot strengthen himself at their face. ⁸ And now you say to strengthen yourselves at the face of the sovereigndom of Yah Veh in the hand of the sons of David; and you are a great multitude; and golden calves with you which Yarob Am worked you for elohim. ⁹ Expelled you not the priests of Yah Veh - the sons of Aharon and the Leviym? And worked priests after the manner of the nations of lands? So that whoever comes to fill his hand with a steer the son of an ox and seven rams, becomes a priest of a non-elohim. ¹⁰ As for us, Yah Veh is our Elohim and we forsake him not; and the priests, who minister to Yah Veh, are the sons of Aharon and the Leviym in the work: ¹¹ and they incense to Yah Veh morning by morning and evening by evening holocausts and incense of aromatics; the arrangement bread on the pure table; and the menorah of gold with the lamps thereof to burn evening by evening: for we guard the guard of Yah Veh our Elohim; but you - you forsook him. ¹² And behold, with us - Elohim for head and his priests with blasting trumpets to blast against you. O sons of Yisra El, fight not against Yah Veh Elohim of your fathers; for you prosper not. ¹³ And Yarob Am lurks around behind them: so they are at the face of Yah Hudah and they lurk behind them: ¹⁴ and Yah Hudah turns to face back, and behold, the war is at their face and behind: and they cry to Yah Veh and the priests trumpet the trumpets: ¹⁵ and the Yah Hudiy give a shout: and the Yah Hudiy shout, and so be it, Elohim smites Yarob Am and all Yisra El at the face of Abi Yah and Yah Hudah: ¹⁶ and the sons of Yisra El flee the face of Yah Hudah: and Elohim gives them into their hand; ¹⁷ and Abi Yah and his people smite them with a great stroke: so there fall down, pierced of Yisra El, five hundred thousand chosen men. ¹⁸ And at that time, they subdue sons of Yisra El, and the sons of Yah Hudah strengthen, because they lean on Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers. ¹⁹ And Abi Yah pursues Yarob Am and captures cities from him: Beth El with the daughters thereof and Yeshanah with the daughters thereof and Ephrain with the daughters thereof. ²⁰ Yarob Am retains no force in the days of Abi Yah: and Yah Veh smites him and he dies.

³ And Yah Veh is with Yah Shaphat, because he walks in the first ways of his father David and seeks not to Baalim;

²⁹ and the sovereign of Yisra El says to Yah Shaphat, I disguise myself and I go to the war; but you enrobe your clothes. - and the sovereign of Yisra El disguises himself; and they go to the war.

³ But good words are found in you in that you burn the asherim from the land and prepare your heart to seek Elohim.

¹
ACHAZ REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
Achaz is a son of twenty years when he begins to reign: and he reigns sixteen years in Yeru Shalem: and he works not straight in the eyes of Yah Veh as David his father:

⁴ and he sacrifices and incenses in the bamahs and on the hills and under every green tree:

⁶ and he passes his sons through the fire in the valley of the son of burning: and he cloudglazes and prognosticates and sorcers: and works with a necromancer and with knowers: he abounds to work evil in the eyes of Yah Veh to vex him.

²⁶ and they were rebellious and rebelled against you and cast your torah behind their backs and slaughtered your prophets who witnessed against them to turn them to you: and they worked great scornings:

¹
MORDEKAY HONORED
On that night, the sleep of the sovereign flees; and he says to bring the scroll of memorial of the words of the days; and they call them out at the face of the sovereign.

¹³ he captures the wise in their own craftiness; and hastens the counsel of the twisters.

¹² thus man lies down and rises not; until the heavens be no more they waken not - waken not from their sleep.

²⁸ But you say, Why pursue we him seeing the root of the word is found in me?

⁷ as his own dung, he destructs in perpetuity; they who see him say, Where is he?

⁵ I lie down and sleep; I waken; for Yah Veh sustains me.

⁸ I altogether lie down in shalom and sleep; for you only, O Yah Veh, settle me confidently.

¹⁰ Yah Veh voids the counsel of the goyim; he annuls the fabrications of the people:

⁶ Surely every man walks in an image; surely they roar in vain: he heaps and knows not who gathers.

¹⁷ Seeing you hate discipline and cast my words behind you.

⁵ Also, El pulls you down in perpetuity - takes you and uproots you from your tent - uproots you from the land of the living. Selah.

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and contorted him in the desolation!

⁵⁶ Yet they tested and rebelled against Elohim Elyon and guarded not his witnesses;

⁵⁸ and they vex him with their bamahs and move him to jealousy with their sculptiles.

⁶⁸ but chose the scion of Yah Hudah - the mount Siyon he loved: ⁶⁹ and he built his hallowed refuge lofty - eternal as the earth he founded.

¹² and I send them in the warp of their own heart; and they walk in their own counsels.

¹⁰ desolated at En Dor, to become as dung for the soil.

¹ A Psalm: A Song for the sons of Qorach. His foundation is in the holy mountains; ² Yah Veh loves the portals of Siyon more than all the tabernacles of Yaaqov:

³⁵ Once I oath by my holiness; I lie not to David: ³⁶ his seed is eternal and his throne as the sun in front of me; ³⁷ - established eternally as the moon and as a trustworthy witness in the vapours. Selah. ³⁸ And you - you cast off and spurn; you pass over your anointed. ³⁹ you reject the covenant of your servant; you profane his separatism to the earth; ⁴⁰ you breach all his walls; you set his fortresses to ruin. ⁴¹ All who pass by the way spoil him; - a reproach to his fellow tabernaclers. ⁴² You exalt the right of his tribulators; you have all his enemies cheer; ⁴³ you turn the form of his sword and raise him to not war; ⁴⁴ you shabbathized his purity and precipitate his throne to the earth: ⁴⁵ you curtailed the days of his youth; you covered him with shame. Selah.

¹⁰ the days of our years, seventy years; and if by might, eighty years; yet their pride is toil and mischief - quickly passed over and we fly away.

¹⁹ they worked a calf in Horeb and prostrated to the molten: ²⁰ they changed their honor into the pattern of an ox that eats herbage:

²⁹ thus they vex him with their exploits; and the plague breaks on them:

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold the work of human hands: ⁵ mouths have they, but they word not; eyes have they, but they see not; ⁶ ears have they, but they hear not; nostrils have they, but they scent not; ⁷ hands have they, but they touch not; feet have they, but they walk not; they mutter not through their throat. ⁸ They who work them are like them; thus is every one who confides in them.

¹³ For Yah Veh chose Siyon; he desires it for his settlement: ¹⁴ this is my rest eternally; here I settle; for I desire it.

¹ To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. O Yah Veh, you probed me and know; ² you know my settling and my uprising; you discern my intention afar off; ³ you winnow my path and my reposing and are accustomed to all my ways; ⁴ for there is not an utterance in my tongue. Behold, O Yah Veh, you know altogether;

²² and they who deal covertly are cut off from the earth; and the transgressors uprooted.

³⁰ There is neither wisdom nor discernment nor counsel against Yah Veh.

⁵ Flit your eyes thereon; and it is not: for in working, they work wings; they fly away as an eagle toward the heavens.

¹⁸ Yes, I hated all the toil I toiled under the sun; because I leave it to humanity after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he be wise or fool? - and yet dominates over all the toil I toiled wherein I enwisened myself under the sun. This is also vanity.

¹¹ Because sentencing an evil work works not quickly, the heart of the sons of humanity fully sets to work evil.

³ in the day the guards of the house agitate and the valiant men twist and the grinders cease because they diminished; and they who look from the windows darken;

⁴
THE MAN
You are beautiful, O my friend, as Tirzah, comely as Yeru Shalem, awesome as bannerbearers.

²⁸ and the breaking of the rebels and of the sinners is together, and they who forsake Yah Veh are finished off. ²⁹ For they shame because of the mighty oaks you desire, and you blush for the gardens you chose.

²⁵ So Yah Veh kindles his wrath against his people; and spreads his hand against them and smites them: and the hills quake; and their carcase is as sweepings midst the outways. For all this, his wrath turns not away, and he still spreads his hand:

⁶ Resound and shout, you settlers of Siyon: for great is the Holy One of Yisra El in your midst.

¹⁹ And you are cast from your tomb as an abhorrent branch; and as the robe of the slaughtered stabbed with a sword; descending to the stones of the well; as a carcase trampled.

²³ I set it a possession for the bittern, and marshes of water: and I sweep it with the broom of desolation - an oracle of Yah Veh Sabaoth.

²⁴ Yes, they are not planted; yes, they are not seeded: yes, their stump roots not in the earth: and he also puffs on them, and they wither, and the storm bears them away as stubble.

⁹ They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame. ¹⁰ Who ever formed an el or poured a sculptile that is not beneficial? ¹¹ Behold, all his companions shame: and the engravers are of humanity: they all gather; together they stand: they fear; together they shame. ¹² The engraver of iron works with the ax in the coals and forms with hammers and makes with the force of his arms: yes, he famishes and his force is not: he drinks no water and wearies. ¹³ The engraver of timber spreads his line; he surveys with a stylus; he works with planes: and he surveys with the compass and works after the pattern of a man according to the adornment of humanity; that it settle in the house: ¹⁴ he cuts down cedars; and takes the cypress and the oak which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the downpour nourishes: ¹⁵ and it becomes for humanity to burn: for he takes and heats; yes, he kindles and bakes bread: yes, he works an el and prostrates; he makes a sculptile, and prostrates thereto: ¹⁶ he burns half in the fire; with half he eats flesh; he roasts a roast, and satiates: yes, he heats, and says, Aha, I heat up; I see the flame: ¹⁷ and of what survives, he works an el - his sculptile: he prostrates thereto - prostrates and prays thereto, and says, Rescue me; for you are my el. ¹⁸ They neither know nor discern: for he daubs their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from comprehending: ¹⁹ and no one turns to his heart; there is neither knowledge nor discernment to say, I burn half in the fire; yes, also I bake bread on the coals; I roast flesh and eat: and I work the remnant an abhorrence: I prostrate to the product of a tree. ²⁰ He grazes on ashes: a mocked heart perverts him that he neither rescues his soul, nor says, Is there not a falsehood in my right?

⁵ heating up with elohim under every green tree? Slaughtering the children in the wadies under the clefts of the rocks?

³ a people who vex me continually to my face; who sacrifice in gardens and incense on altars of brick; ⁴ who settle among the tombs and stay overnight in the guards - who eat flesh of swine; and soup of stench is in their instruments;

²⁴ and they come and see the carcases of the men who rebel against me: for neither their maggot dies, nor their fire quenches; and they become an abhorrance to all flesh.

²⁰ For from eternal time I broke your yoke and tore your bonds; and you say, I serve not! when on every high hill and under every green tree you stroll, whoring.

⁷ And I say, after she works all these, You, return to me. - and she returns not. And her covert sister Yah Hudah sees: ⁸ and I see, when for all the causes whereby apostate Yisra El adulterized I sent her away and gave her a scroll of divorce; yet her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly awes not, and goes and whores also. ⁹ And so be it, through the voice of her whoredom she profanes the land, and adulterizes with stones and with timber. ¹⁰ And yet for all this her sister Yah Hudah who deals covertly returns not to me with her whole heart, but in falsehood - an oracle of Yah Veh. ¹¹ And Yah Veh says to me, The apostate Yisra El justifies her soul more than Yah Hudah who deals covertly.

¹³ only, acknowledge your perversity, that you rebel against Yah Veh your Elohim and scatter your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and hearken not to my voice - an oracle of Yah Veh.

³¹ the prophets prophesy falsely and the priests subjugate by their hands; and thus my people love it. And what work you in the end?

⁹ you steal, murder, and adulterize, and oath falsely and incense to Baal; and walk after other elohim whom you know not: ¹⁰ and then you come and stand at my face in this house on which my name is called, and say, We are rescued! in order to work all these abhorrences.

¹² But come, I beseech, to my place in Shiloh, where I tabernacled my name at the first; and see what I worked to it at the face of the evil of my people Yisra El: ¹³ and I beseech, because you work all these works - an oracle of Yah Veh; and I word to you, starting early and wording, and you hear not; and I call you, and you answer not. ¹⁴ I also work to this house, on which my name is called, wherein you confide, and to the place I gave to you and to your fathers, as I worked to Shiloh:

² and they spread them to the sun and the moon and all the host of the heavens - whom they loved and whom they served and after whom they walked and whom they sought and to whom they prostrated: they are neither gathered nor entombed; they are for dung on the face of the soil:

¹⁴ All humanity is brutish in knowledge: every refiner is shamed by the sculptile: for his libation is falsehood and there is no spirit in them: ¹⁵ they are vanity, the work of frauds: in the time of their visitation they destruct. ¹⁶ The allotment of Yaaqov is not like them: for he is the former of all; and Yisra El is the scion of his inheritance: Yah Veh Sabaoth is his name.

³ and upon them I visit four families - an oracle of Yah Veh the sword to slaughter and the dogs to drag and the flyers of the heavens and the animals of the earth to devour and ruin:

² as their sons remember their sacrifice altars and their asherah by the green trees; by the high hills.

² Enquire, I beseech you, of Yah Veh for us; for Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel fights us: perhaps Yah Veh works with us according to all his marvellous works, and ascends him from us. ³ Then says Yirme Yah to them, Say thus to Sidqi Yah: ⁴ Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Behold, I turn back the vessels of war in your hands with which you fight the sovereign of Babel and the Kesediym who besiege you outside the walls; and I gather them midst this city: ⁵ and I - I fight you with a spread hand and with a strong arm - in wrath and in fury and in great rage: ⁶ and I smite the settlers of this city - both human and animal that they die of a great pestilence. ⁷ And afterward - an oracle of Yah Veh I give Sidqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and his servants and the people and such as survive in this city from the pestilence and from the sword and from the famine into the hand of Nebukadnets Tsar sovereign of Babel - and into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of them who seek their soul: and he smites them with the mouth of the sword; he neither spares them - neither spares nor mercies.

¹⁰ Neither weep you for the dead nor wag over him: but in weeping, weep for him who goes away: for he neither returns any more nor sees his native land.

¹⁸ So thus says Yah Veh concerning Yah Yaqim the son of Yoshi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: They chop not for him, saying, Ho my brother! or, Ho sister! they chop not for him, Ho adoni! or, Ho his majesty!

¹
THE FOURTH LAMENTATION
How the gold fades - the good ore changes; - the stones of the holies poured out in the top of all the outways! ² The esteemed sons of Siyon, balanced to pure gold, how they are reckoned as pottery bottles, the work of the hands of the former!

⁴ for they, to whom I send you, are hard faced sons, and strong hearted: and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: ⁵ And they, whether they hear, or whether they desist, - for they are a rebellious house, yet know a prophet becomes among them.

² And you son of humanity, thus says Adonay Yah Veh to the soil of Yisra El; An end - the end arrives on the four wings of the land: ³ now the end is on you; and I send my wrath on you and judge you according to your ways, and give all your abhorrences on you. ⁴ And neither my eye spares you nor I compassion: and I give your ways on you, for your abhorrences are midst you: and you know I - Yah Veh. ⁵ Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: An evil, one evil, behold, has arrived; ⁶ an end has arrived, the end arrives; it wakens for you; behold, it arrives: ⁷ the corona arrives to you, O you who settle in the land: the time arrives; the day of confusion is near, and not the shouting of the mountains.

³ And he spreads the pattern of a hand and takes me by a tassel of my head; and the spirit lifts me between the earth and between the heavens, and in visions of Elohim, brings me to Yeru Shalem to the opening of the inner portal facing northward; to the seat of the figurine of jealousy which provokes to jealousy.

¹⁷ And he says to me, See you, O son of humanity? Is it trifling to the house of Yah Hudah to work the abhorrences they work here? For they fill the land with violence and return to vex me: and behold, they spread the twig to their nostrils.

²² Son of humanity, what is that proverb of you in the soil of Yisra El, saying, The days prolong; and every vision destructs? ²³ So tell them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: I shabbathize this proverb that they no more proverbialize it as a proverb in Yisra El: but word to them, Days approach; and the word of every vision: ²⁴ for there is neither any more a vain vision nor smoothing divination within the house of Yisra El. ²⁵ For I - Yah Veh: I word; and the word I word works; it is no more drawn out: for in your days, O rebellious house, I word the word, and work it - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. ²⁶ And so be the word of Yah Veh to me, saying, ²⁷ Son of humanity, behold, the house of Yisra El says, The vision he sees is for many days, and he prophesies of the times afar off. ²⁸ So say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Not one of my words is drawn out any more: and the word I word works - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh.

³ Son of humanity, these men ascend their idols in their heart, and give the stumblingblock of their perversity at their face: Inquire they at all of me? ⁴ So word to them, and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Man by man of the house of Yisra El who ascends his idols in his heart, and sets the stumblingblock of his perversity at his face, and goes to the prophet; I Yah Veh give him who goes an answer according to the abundance of his idols: ⁵ so that I apprehend the house of Yisra El in their own heart; because, through their idols, they all estrange from me.

⁷ for each man of the house of Yisra El or of the sojourner who sojourns in Yisra El, who separates himself from after me, and ascends his idols in his heart, and sets the stumblingblock of his perversity at his face, and goes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I Yah Veh answer him by myself: ⁸ and I give my face against that man and desolate him - a sign and a proverb and I cut him off from midst my people; and you know I - Yah Veh.

²⁴ you also build an arch to yourself and work a ramah in every broadway: ²⁵ build your ramah at every head of the way so that your beauty is abhorred; and spread your feet to every one passing by and abound your whoredoms.

⁴⁷ Yet you neither walk after their ways, nor work after their abhorrences: but loathe as a trifling: in all your ways, you are ruined more than they. ⁴⁸ I live - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh Sedom your sister - neither she nor her daughters work as you work - you and your daughters.

¹⁴
THE JUST SON OF THE UNJUST FATHER LIVES
And behold, he births a son, who sees all the sins his father worked who sees, and works not likewise: ¹⁵ who neither eats on the mountains nor lifts his eyes to the idols of the house of Yisra El; nor fouls the woman of his friend; ¹⁶ neither oppresses man nor withholds the pledge; in stripping, strips not; gives his bread to the famished; covers the naked with clothes; ¹⁷ turns his hand to the humble; neither takes usury nor bounty, works my judgments, walks in my statutes: he dies not for the perversity of his father: in living, he lives. ¹⁸
THE UNJUST FATHER OF THE JUST SON DIES
His father, because in oppressing, he oppresses, in stripping, strips his brother, and works what is not good among his people, behold, even he dies in his perversity. ¹⁹ And say you, Why? Bears not the son the perversity of the father? The son who works judgment and justness; guards all my statutes and works them; in living, he lives. ²⁰ The soul who sins, dies. Neither the son bears the perversity of the father nor the father bears the perversity of the son: the justness of the just becomes on him, and the wickedness of the wicked becomes on him. ²¹
THE WICKED WHO TURNS TO JUSTNESS LIVES
And if the wicked turns from all his sins he works and guards all my statutes and works judgment and justness; in living, he lives; he dies not: ²² all the rebellions he worked are not remembered to him: in the justness he works, he lives. ²³ Desire I at all that the wicked die? - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and not that he return from his ways, and live? ²⁴ But when the just turns from his justness, and works wickedness, and works according to all the abhorrences the wicked work, lives he? All the justness he worked are not remembered: in his treason, he treasoned, and in the sin he sinned, he dies. ²⁵
THE GAUGE OF JUSTNESS
And you say, The way of Adonay gauges not. Hear, I beseech, O house of Yisra El; Is not my way gauged? are not your ways ungauged? ²⁶ When the just turns from his justness and works wickedness and dies in them, for the wickedness he worked, he dies. ²⁷ And when the wicked turns from the wickedness he worked, and works judgment and justness, his soul lives: ²⁸ because he sees and turns from all the rebellions he worked; in living, he lives: he dies not. ²⁹ And the house of Yisra El says, The way of Adonay is not gauged. O house of Yisra El, are not my ways gauged? Are not your ways not gauged? ³⁰ So I judge you, O house of Yisra El, every man according to his ways - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh. Repent, and turn from all your rebellions; so that perversity becomes not your stumblingblock. ³¹ Cast from you all the rebellions you rebelled; and work yourself a new heart and a new spirit: and why die, O house of Yisra El? ³² For I delight not in the death of the dying - an oracle of Adonay Yah Veh and you, turn and live.

²⁸ And I bring them into the land for which I lifted my hand to give it to them, and they see every high hill and all the thick trees; and there they sacrifice their sacrifices, and there they give the vexation of their qorban: there they also set their scent of rest and there they libate their libations. ²⁹ And I say to them, What is the bamah to which you go? - and the name is called Bamah to this day.

³⁵ So thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because you forget me and cast me behind your back, even thus you also bear your intrigue and your whoredoms.

⁴ and they ruin the walls of Sor and break down her towers: and I scrape her dust from her and give her as the clearing of a rock.

¹⁷ And you, son of humanity, thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Speak to every bird of wing, and to every live being of the field, Gather and come; gather from all around for the sacrifice I sacrifice for you - a great sacrifice on the mountains of Yisra El - to eat flesh and drink blood: ¹⁸ - to eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the hierarchs of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of he goats, of bullocks, of all the fatlings of Bashan: ¹⁹ and you, eat fat to satiety and drink blood to intoxication of the sacrifice I sacrifice for you.

¹⁹
DANI EL INTERPRETS THE DREAM OF THE TREE
Then Dani El, whose name is Belte Shats Tsar, is astonished for one blink and his intentions terrify him. The sovereign answers and says, Belte Shats Tsar, terrify not at the dream or the interpretation. Belte Shats Tsar answers and says, My master, the dream is to them who hate you; and the interpretation to your enemies. ²⁰ The tree you saw, which greatens, and empowers, whose height spreads to the heavens, and the sight to all the earth; ²¹ whose foliage is beautiful, and the fruit much, with food therein for all; under which the live beings of the field whirl, and on whose branches the birds of the heavens tabernacle: ²² it is you, O sovereign, who greatens and empowers: for your greatness greatens and spreads to the heavens, and your dominion to the consummation of the earth. ²³ And whereas the sovereign saw a waker and an holy one descend from the heavens, and saying, Cut the tree, and despoil it; but leave the stump of the roots in the earth even with a band of iron and copper in the sprouts of the field; and dyed with the dew of the heavens, and his portion with the live beings of the field, until seven times pass over him. ²⁴ This is the interpretation, O sovereign, and this is the decree of the Elyon which happens to my master the sovereign: ²⁵ and they expel you from men and you whirl with the live beings of the field; and they have you feed on herbage as bulls and they dye you with the dew of the heavens and seven times pass over you, until you know that Elyon dominates in the sovereigndom of men, and gives it to whomever he wills.

¹⁷
DANI EL INTERPRETS THE INSCRIBING
Then Dani El answers and says in front of the sovereign, Your gifts are yours and give your largess to another; however I call out the inscribing to the sovereign and have him know the interpretation. ¹⁸ You, O sovereign, Elyon Elah gave Nebukadnets Tsar your father a sovereigndom and greatness and esteem and majesty: ¹⁹ and from the greatness he gave him, all people, nations and tongues became agitated and terrified in front of him: whom he willed, he severed; and whom he willed, enlivened; and whom he willed, he lifted; and whom he willed, he abased: ²⁰ and when he lifted his heart and empowered his spirit in seething he was deposed from the throne of his sovereigndom, and his esteem passed from him ²¹ - expelled from the sons of men; and his heart was equated to live beings, and his whirling was with the onagers: they fed him with herbage as bulls, and his body was dyed with the dew of the heavens; until he knew that Elyon Elah is dominator in the sovereigndom of men, and that he raises over it whomever he wills. ²² And you his bar, O Bel Shats Tsar, have not abased your heart even though you know all this; ²³ and you lift yourself against the Master of the heavens; and they bring the vessels of his house in front of you; and you and your nobles, your mistresses and your concubines drink fermentation in them; and you laud the elahim of silver and gold, of copper, iron, timber and stone, which neither see nor hear nor know: and Elah in whose hand your breath is, and whose all your ways are, you esteem not. ²⁴ Then the palm of the hand is sent in front of him; and this inscribing is signed: ²⁵ and this is the inscribing that is signed, MENE/NUMBERED, MENE/NUMBERED, TEKEL/BALANCED, UPHARSIN/SPLIT. ²⁶ This is the interpretation of the utterance: MENE/NUMBERED; Elah numbers your sovereigndom, and shalams: ²⁷ TEKEL/BALANCED; You are balanced in the balances, and found deficient: ²⁸ PERES/SPLIT; Your sovereigndom is split, and given to the Maday and Persians.

¹¹ Ephrayim is oppressed; crushed in judgment; because he wills to walk after the misvah. ¹² So I am to Ephrayim as a moth and to the house of Yah Hudah as rottenness.

¹¹ Ephrayim is as a fowl their honor flies from the birth and from the belly and from the conception. ¹² Though they nourish their sons, yet I bereave them - without a human: yes also, woe to them when I turn aside from them!

¹⁶ Ephrayim is smitten: their root withers; they work no fruit: yes, though they birth, yet I slay the desire of their belly. ¹⁷ My Elohim spurns them, because they hearken not to him: and they become wanderers among the goyim.

⁹ And I - I desolate the Emoriy at their face, whose height is as the height of the cedars as powerful as the oaks; and I desolate his fruit from above and his roots from beneath.

⁶ Blasts a shophar in the city and the people tremble not? Becomes there evil in a city and Yah Veh worked it not? ⁷ Surely Adonay Yah Veh works no word; unless he exposes his private counsel to his servants the prophets.

²⁷ So I exile you beyond Dammeseq, says Yah Veh, whose name is Elohim Sabaoth.

¹⁴ and I uproot your asherah from your midst thus I desolate your cities:

¹⁶ And you guard the statutes of Omri and all the works of the house of Ach Ab; and you walk in their counsels: and I give you for a desolation, and the settlers for a hissing: and you bear the reproach of my people.

¹⁷ And I tribulate humanity and they walk as the blind: because they sin against Yah Veh and pour blood as dust and eat the dung ball.

⁴ For Azzah is forsaken and Ashkelon a desolation: they drive out Ashdod at noon and uproot Eqron.

³ Behold, I rebuke your seed and winnow dung on your faces - the dung of your celebrations; to bear you away with it.

⁷ and Shelomoh births Rechab Am, and Rechab Am births Abi Yah, and Abi Yah births Asa,

⁷
THE WITNESS OF YAH SHUA CONCERNING YAHN THE BAPTIZER
And as they depart, Yah Shua begins to word to the multitudes concerning Yahn, What went you out into the wilderness to observe? A reed shaken by the wind?

¹³ And he answers, saying, Every plant my Father of the heavenlies has not planted, uproots.

⁷ Woe to the cosmos because of scandals! for of necessity, scandals come; however woe to that human by whom the scandal comes!

²¹ The Son of humanity indeed goes, exactly as scribed concerning him: but woe to that human by whom the Son of humanity is betrayed! Good for that human if he had never been birthed.

² and a servant of a centurion who is honorable to him is ill and about to die: ³ and he hears concerning Yah Shua, and apostolizes the elders of the Yah Hudiym to him, asking him to come and save his servant.

²⁴ And the angels of Yahn depart, and he begins to word to the multitude concerning Yahn: What went you out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

² for naught is altogether concealed, that is not unveiled; and secreted, that is not known:

³⁴
YAH SHUA ON INSIPID SALT
Salt is good: but the salt being insipid, how is it to season? ³⁵ It is neither well fit for the earth, nor yet for manure; but for men to cast. Whoever has ears to hear, hear.

²⁰
YAH SHUA ON TRIBUTE
And they observe him, and apostolize liars in waiting who hypocrize themselves as just men; to take hold of his words and to betray him to the hierarchy and authority of the governor. ²¹ And they ask him, wording, Doctor, we know that you word and doctrinate straightforwardly, and you take not the face, but doctrinate the way of Elohim in truth: ²² Are we allowed to give tribute to the Kaisar? Or no? ²³ But he perceives their cunning and says to them, Why test you me?

⁴⁷ hears that Yah Shua comes from Yah Hudah to Galiyl; and he goes to him, and asks him to descend and heal his son for he is about to die. ⁴⁸ So Yah Shua says to him, Unless you see signs and omens, you trust not.

⁵⁰ Yah Shua words to him, Go your way; your son lives! And the human trusts the word Yah Shua says to him and he goes his way: ⁵¹ and as he descends, his servants meet him, and evangelize him, wording, Your lad lives. ⁵² So he enquires of them the hour he began to amend: and they say to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.

³ So his sisters apostolize to him, wording, Adonay, behold, he whom you befriend is frail.

³ But Petros says, Hanan Yah, why has Satan filled/shalamed your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, to keep back of the price of the parcel? ⁴ In abiding, abode it not indeed yours? And, being sold, was it in your own authority? Why place you this matter in your heart? You lie, not to humanity, but to Elohim. ⁵ And hearing these words, Hanan Yah falls down and expires: and so be it, a mega awe on all who hear these:

⁹ And Petros says to her, Why symphonized you to test the Spirit of Yah Veh? Behold, the feet of them who entombed your man are at the portal, and bring you forth. ¹⁰ And immediately, she falls at his feet and expires: and the youths enter and find her dead; and bring her and entomb her by her man.

⁴³ Yes, you took the tabernacle of Molech and the star of Kiyun, your el; - types you made to worship: and I exiled you beyond Babel.

¹⁹ But as Petros ponders about the vision; the Spirit says to him, Behold, three men seek you! ²⁰ But rise and descend and go with them - doubting naught: because I apostolized them.

²² and he removed him, and raised David to be their sovereign: to whom also he witnessed, and said, I find David of Yishay a man after my own heart, who does all my will.

³⁶ For David indeed, after he tended his own generation by the counsel of Elohim, fell on sleep; and was added to his fathers and saw corruption:

²⁴ So Elohim also surrendered them to impurity in the pantings of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves: ²⁵ who exchanged the truth of Elohim into a lie and venerated and liturgized the creature beyond the Creator - who is eulogized to the eons. Amen. ²⁶
HOMOSEXUALITY
For this cause Elohim surrendered them to dishonorable passions: for both their females exchanged the physical function to that against nature: ²⁷ and likewise also the males forsaking the physical function of the female; inflamed in their craving one toward another; males among males working misbehavior; and taking to themselves that retribution of their seduction which is necessary.

¹³ So judge one another no longer: but rather judge this, that no one put a stumbling or a scandal in the way of his brother.

⁹ Or know you not the unjust inherit not the sovereigndom of Elohim? be not seduced: neither whoremongers nor idolaters nor adulterers nor effeminate nor homosexuals

²²
CONSCIENCE
Or, incite we Adonay to jealousy? Are we mightier than he?

⁶ to energize the communion of your trust by the knowledge of all the good in you in Messiah Yah Shua.

¹³ And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him with whom we word. ^{Proverbs 15:11}

⁹ Sigh not against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned: behold, the judge stands at the portal.

³ and in avarice they fabricate words and merchandise of you: whose judgment of old idles not and their destruction slumbers not.

⁸ for that just one dwelling among them, seeing and hearing, tortured his just soul day by day with their untorahed works; ⁹ Yah Veh knows how to rescue the well-revering from testings and to guard the unjust to the day of judgment to punish:

¹⁷
THE SUPPER OF THE MEGA ELOHIM
And I see one angel standing in the sun; and he cries with a mega voice - wording to all the fowls that fly in the midheavens, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the mega Elohim ¹⁸ to eat the flesh of sovereigns, and the flesh of chiliarchs, and the flesh of mighty, and the flesh of horses, and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all - liberated and servant - minute and mega.
