THE SOVEREIGN OF ASHSHUR ENCAMPS AGAINST YERU SHALEM
After these words and this truth, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur comes and enters Yah Hudah and encamps against the cut off cities; and says to split them for himself: ² and Yechizqi Yah sees Sancherib come; and his face is to war against Yeru Shalem. ³ And he counsels with his governors and his mighty to stop the waters of the fountains outside the city: and they help him: ⁴ and much people gather and stop all the fountains and the wadi that overflows midst the land saying, Why come the sovereigns of Ashshur and find much water? ⁵ And he strengthens himself and builds all the broken wall so that it ascends to the towers; and another outer wall; and strengthens Millo the city of David: and works spears and bucklers in abundance. ⁶ And he gives governors of war over the people and gathers them to himself in the broadway of the portal of the city: and words to their heart, saying, ⁷ Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur or at the face of all the multitude with him: for there are greater with us than with him: ⁸ with him - an arm of flesh; and with us - Yah Veh our Elohim to help us and to fight our wars. And the people prop on the words of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah. ⁹ After this, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur sends his servants to Yeru Shalem; - and he is by Lachish with all his reign against Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and against all Yah Hudah at Yeru Shalem, saying, ¹⁰ Thus says Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur, Whereon confide you that you settle in the siege in Yeru Shalem? ¹¹ Yechizqi Yah - goads he not you to give yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Yah Veh our Elohim rescues us from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur? ¹² Yechizqi Yah himself, turns he not aside his bamahs and his sacrifice altars and says to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, saying, Worship at the face of one sacrifice altar and incense thereon? ¹³ Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand? ¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand? ¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand. ¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah: ¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand. ¹⁸ And they call out with a great voice in Yah Hudahaic to the people of Yeru Shalem on the wall - to awe them and to terrify them; and to capture the city: ¹⁹ and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity. ²⁰ And Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and the prophet Yesha Yah the son of Amos pray and cry to the heavens: ²¹ and Yah Veh sends an angel who cuts off all the mighty of valour and the eminent and governors in the camp of the sovereign of Ashshur: and he returns with shamed face to his own land. And he comes to the house of his elohim; and the offspring of his inwards fell him there with the sword: ²² and Yah Veh saves Yechizqi Yah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem from the hand of Sancherib the sovereign of Ashshur and from the hand of all others; and guides them all around. ²³ And many bring offerings to Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; and preciousnesses to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: so that he is lifted in the eyes of all goyim thereafter. ²⁴ In those days, Yechizqi Yah is sick to die and prays to Yah Veh: and he says to him and he gives him an omen: ²⁵ and Yechizqi Yah returns not according as he was dealt; for his heart lifts: and there is rage on him and on Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: ²⁶ and Yechizqi Yah humbles himself for the haughtiness of his heart - he and the settlers of Yeru Shalem; so that the rage of Yah Veh comes not on them in the days of Yechizqi Yah: ²⁷ and Yechizqi Yah abounds mightily in riches and honor: and he works himself treasuries for silver and for gold and for esteemed stones and for spices and for bucklers and for all manner of instruments of desire ²⁸ - storage for the produce of crop and juice and oil; and stalls for animal by animal and stalls for droves: ²⁹ and he works cities and chattels of flocks and oxen in abundance: for Elohim gives him mighty much acquisition. ³⁰ This is the same Yechizqi Yah who stopped the upper watersprings of Gichon and brought it downward - duskward of the city of David - and Yechizqi Yah prospers in all his works. ³¹ And thus, by the interpreters of the governors of Babel, who send to him to enquire of the omen in the land, Elohim left him, to test him, to know all that is in his heart. ³²
THE DEATH OF YECHIZQI YAH
And the rest of the words of Yechizqi Yah and his mercy, behold, they are inscribed in the vision of Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos in the scroll of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah and Yisra El. ³³ And Yechizqi Yah lies down with his fathers - entombed in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem work him honor at his death. - and Menash Sheh his son reigns in his stead.

² and Abram is mighty heavy in chattel, in silver and in gold: ³ and he goes on his journeys from the south even to Beth El, to the place where his tent was at the beginning between Beth El and Ai ⁴ - to the place of the sacrifice altar which he worked there at the first: and there Abram calls on the name of Yah Veh. ⁵ And Lot also, who goes with Abram, has flocks and oxen and tents. ⁶ And because their acquisition is so great, the land is not able to bear them to settle together - so that they cannot settle together.

² And Paroh says, Who is Yah Veh, that I hear his voice to send Yisra El away? I neither know Yah Veh nor send I Yisra El away.

⁹ The enemy says, I pursue! I overtake! I allot the loot!

THE REWARD FOR WRINGING HANDS
And if they wring hands for their perversity and the perversity of their fathers, and the treason they treason against me and also for walking contrary to me; ⁴¹ and that I also, in walking contrary to them bring them into the land of their enemies - if they humble their uncircumcised hearts; and they then be pleased in the punishment of their perversity

² and remember all the way Yah Veh your Elohim carried you these forty years in the wilderness - to humble you and to test you - to know what was in your heart, whether or not you guarded his misvoth:

¹² lest when you eat and satiate and build goodly houses and settle; ¹³ and when your oxen and your flocks abound and your silver and your gold abound and all you have abounds; ¹⁴ and your heart lifts and you forget Yah Veh your Elohim who brought you from the land of Misrayim from the house of servants:

¹⁶ who fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers knew not - to humble you and to test you - to well-please you at your latter end; ¹⁷ and you said in your heart, My force and the might of my hand worked me this valour. ¹⁸ And remember Yah Veh your Elohim: for he gives you force to work valour, in order to raise his covenant which he oathed to your fathers, as this day.

¹³ Guard yourself that you not holocaust your holocausts in every place you see: ¹⁴ but in the place Yah Veh chooses in one of your scions, there you holocaust your holocausts and there you work all I misvah you.

²⁶ Only, bear your holies and your vows, and go to the place Yah Veh chooses: ²⁷ and work your holocausts - the flesh and the blood on the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh your Elohim: and pour the blood of your sacrifices on the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh your Elohim and eat the flesh.

THE TORAH ON WARRING When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and a people more than you, awe them not: for Yah Veh your Elohim is with you - who ascended you from the land of Misrayim.

⁴ for Yah Veh your Elohim is he who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

¹⁵ Cursed is the man who works any sculptile or molten - an abhorrence to Yah Veh the work of the hands of the engraver, and puts it in a hideout. And all the people answer, and say, Amen!

⁶ In strenthening, strengthen; neither awe them nor awe their face; for Yah Veh your Elohim - he goes with you; he neither lets you loose nor forsakes you. ⁷ And Mosheh calls to Yah Shua and says to him in the eyes of all Yisra El, In strenthening, strengthen: for you go with this people to the land Yah Veh oathed to give their fathers to inherit:

²³ And he misvahs Yah Shua the son of Nun, and says, In strengthening, strengthen: for you bring the sons of Yisra El to the land I oathed to them: and I - I - with you.

⁶ Deal you thus to Yah Veh, O foolish people and unwise? Is he not your father who chatteled you? Has he not worked you and established you?

⁸ And the sons of Yisra El weep for Mosheh in the plains of Moab thirty days: and the days of weeping and mourning for Mosheh consummate.

⁶ Strengthen! Encourage! Divide the land for an inheritance to this people, which I oathed to their fathers to give them. ⁷ Only, strengthen and encourage mightily to guard to work according to all the torah Mosheh my servant misvahed you: turn not aside from it - right or left, so that wherever you go, you comprehend.

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.

¹⁰ And the Peleshethiy say, I reproach the ranks of Yisra El this day; give me a man, to fight together.

²⁶ And David says to the men who stand by him, saying, What work you to the man who smites this Peleshethiy and turns aside the reproach from Yisra El? Who is this uncircumcised Peleshethiy, to reproach the ranks of the living Elohim?

³⁶ your servant smote both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Peleshethiy becomes as one of them, seeing he reproaches the ranks of the living Elohim.

THE DEATH OF SHEMU EL
Shemu El dies and all the Yisra Eliy gathers and chops over him and entomb him in his house at Ramah. And David rises and descends to the wilderness of Paran.

⁸
YAH VEH SABAOTH CUTS A COVENANT WITH DAVID
Now say thus to my servant David, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth, I took you from the habitation of rest - from after the flock to be eminent over my people - over Yisra El:

¹⁰ and Toi sends Yah Ram his son to sovereign David, to ask shalom of him and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadad Ezer and smote him - for Hadad Ezer was a man of wars with Toi. And in his hand are instruments of silver and instruments of gold and instruments of copper: ¹¹ which sovereign David also hallowed to Yah Veh, with the silver and gold he hallowed of all goyim he subdued

¹
DAVID MUSTERS YISRA EL
And Yah Veh adds to kindle his wrath against Yisra El; and he goads David against them to say, Go, number Yisra El and Yah Hudah.

¹⁰ And after he scribes the people the heart of David is smitten: and David says to Yah Veh, I sinned mightily in what I worked: and now, I beseech you, O Yah Veh, pass over the perversity of your servant; for I follied mightily. ¹¹ And David rises in the morning, and the word of Yah Veh comes to the prophet Gad, the seer of David, saying, ¹² Go and word to David, Thus says Yah Veh, I lift you these three: choose which one to work to you. ¹³ And Gad comes to David and tells him and says to him, Come seven years of famine to you in your land? Or flee you three months from the face of your tribulators while they pursue you? Or have three days pestilence in your land? now perceive and see which word I return to him who sends me. ¹⁴ And David says to Gad, I tribulate mightily: may we fall now into the hand of Yah Veh - for his mercies are many: and may I not fall to the hand of humanity. ¹⁵ And Yah Veh gives a pestilence on Yisra El from the morning even to the time of season: and seventy thousand men of the people die from Dan even to Beer Sheba. ¹⁶ And the angel spreads his hand on Yeru Shalem to ruin it; and Yah Veh sighs of the evil; and says to the angel who ruined the people, Enough! Slacken now your hand. - and the angel of Yah Veh is by the threshingplace of Aravnah the Yebusiy.

¹⁶ And the angel spreads his hand on Yeru Shalem to ruin it; and Yah Veh sighs of the evil; and says to the angel who ruined the people, Enough! Slacken now your hand. - and the angel of Yah Veh is by the threshingplace of Aravnah the Yebusiy. ¹⁷ And David says to Yah Veh when he sees the angel who smites the people and says, Behold, I sinned and I perverted: but these flock, what worked they? O that your hand, I pray you, be against me and against the house of my father.

²¹ and so be it, that when my adoni the sovereign lies with his fathers I and my son Shelomoh be as sinners.

³³ And the sovereign says to them, Take with you the servants of your adoni and have Shelomoh my son ride on my own mule; and descend him to Gichon:

³⁸ So Sadoq the priest and Nathan the prophet and Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada and the executioners and the couriers descend and ride Shelomoh on the mule of sovereign David and walk him to Gichon.

⁴⁵ and Sadoq the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him sovereign in Gichon: and they ascend from there cheering - so that the city quakes - this is the voice you heard:

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

⁹ give your servant a hearing heart to judge your people - to discern between good and evil: for who is able to judge this - your grievous people?

¹⁶
THE FIRST CASE OF SHELOMOH
And two women - whores come to the sovereign and stand at his face: ¹⁷ and the one woman says, O my adoni, I and this woman settle in one house; and I birthed with her in the house:

²¹ and Shelomoh is sovereign over all the sovereigndoms from the river to the land of the Peleshethiy and to the border of Misrayim: they bring offerings and serve Shelomoh all the days of his life.

²⁶ and Shelomoh has forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots and twelve thousand cavalry:

⁴⁸ And Shelomoh works all the instruments in the house of Yah Veh: the sacrifice altar of gold and the table of gold, whereon is the face bread,

²⁴ Only, the daughter of Paroh ascends from the city of David to the house he built for her: then he builds Millo.

¹⁰ And she gives the sovereign a hundred and twenty rounds of gold and a mighty great abundance of spices and precious stones: there comes no more such abundance of spices as these which the sovereigness of Sheba gives to sovereign Shelomoh.

²⁵ and every man brings his offering - instruments of silver and instruments of gold and clothes and armour and spices, horses and mules - a year by year word.

²⁷ and this is the word that he lifts a hand against the sovereign: Shelomoh built Millo and shut the breaches of the city of David his father:

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 he returns from after him and takes a yoke of oxen and sacrifices them and stews their flesh with the instruments of the oxen; and gives to the people and they eat: and he rises and goes after Eli Yah and ministers to him.

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.

²⁹ See how Ach Ab humbles himself at my face? Because he humbles himself at my face I bring no evil in his days: but in the days of his son I bring the evil on his house.

²² And Yah Veh says to him, How? And he says, I go and I become a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he says, Entice him and also prevail: Go! Work thus!

¹⁶ And he says, Awe not: for these with us are greater than those with them.

¹⁷ Then Haza El sovereign of Aram ascends and fights Gath and captures it: and Haza El sets his face to ascend to Yeru Shalem:

²⁰ And his servants rise and conspire a conspiracy and smite Yah Ash in the house of Millo, which descends to Silla.

¹⁰ in smiting, you smote Edom and your heart lifts you: be honored and settle at your house: for why coax you to evil only, to fall - you and Yah Hudah with you?

¹⁹ Pul the sovereign of Ashshur comes against the land: and Menachem gives Pul a thousand rounds of silver that his hand be with him to uphold the sovereigndom in his hand:

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.

⁵ and the sovereign of Ashshur ascends to all the land and ascends to Shomeron and besieges it three years. 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.

YECHIZQI YAH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
And so be it, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Yechizqi Yah the son of Achaz sovereign of Yah Hudah reigns: ² a son of twenty-five years when he begins to reign; and he reigns twenty-nine years in Yeru Shalem: the name of his mother, Abi the daughter of Zechar Yah: ³ and he works straight in the eyes of Yah Veh, according to all David his father worked: ⁴ he turns aside the bamahs and breaks the monoliths and cuts down the asherim and crushes the copper serpent Mosheh worked: for in those days the sons of Yisra El incensed to it: and he called it Coppery/Nechustan.

⁴ he turns aside the bamahs and breaks the monoliths and cuts down the asherim and crushes the copper serpent Mosheh worked: for in those days the sons of Yisra El incensed to it: and he called it Coppery/Nechustan. ⁵ He confides in Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El; and there is none like him among all the sovereigns of Yah Hudah - neither after him nor at his face: ⁶ and he adheres to Yah Veh and turns not aside from after him; but guards the misvoth Yah Veh misvahed Mosheh: ⁷ and Yah Veh is with him; he comprehends wherever he goes: and he rebels against the sovereign of Ashshur and serves him not: ⁸ he smites the Peleshethiy to Azzah - to the borders; from the tower of the guards to the fortified city. ⁹ And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah - the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Shomeron and besieges it:

⁹ And so be it, in the fourth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah - the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah sovereign of Yisra El, Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur ascends against Shomeron and besieges it: ¹⁰ and at the end of three years they capture it: in the sixth year of Yechizqi Yah - in the ninth year of Hoshea sovereign of Yisra El Shomeron is captured: 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:

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. ¹³ And in the fourteenth year of sovereign Yechizqi Yah, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur ascends against all the cut off cities of Yah Hudah and apprehends them.

¹⁵ and Yechizqi Yah gives him all the silver found in the house of Yah Veh and in the treasures of the house of the sovereign. ¹⁶ At that time, Yechizqi Yah chops off the doors of the manse of Yah Veh and the pillars Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah overlaid; and gives them to the sovereign of Ashshur:

¹⁶ At that time, Yechizqi Yah chops off the doors of the manse of Yah Veh and the pillars Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah overlaid; and gives them to the sovereign of Ashshur: ¹⁷ and the sovereign of Ashshur sends Tartan the chief eunuch and Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler from Lachish to sovereign Yechizqi Yah with heavy valiant against Yeru Shalem: and they ascend and come to Yeru Shalem: and they ascend and come and stand by the Pool Elyon in the highway of the field of the fuller:

²⁰ For you said, They are but words of lips! I have counsel and might for the war! Now on whom confide you, to rebel against me? ²¹ Now, behold, confide you on the staff of this crushed stalk - on Misrayim - on which, if a man prop, it goes into his palm and pierces? Thus is Paroh sovereign of Misrayim to all who confide on him. ²² And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - Is that not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside? - Who said to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, Prostrate at the face of this sacrifice altar in Yeru Shalem?

²² And if you say to me, We confide in Yah Veh our Elohim! - Is that not he, whose bamahs and whose sacrifice altars Yechizqi Yah turned aside? - Who said to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, Prostrate at the face of this sacrifice altar in Yeru Shalem? ²³ And now, I beseech you, pledge to my adoni the sovereign of Ashshur and I give you two thousand horses if you can, for your part, give riders on them. ²⁴ How then turn you away the face of one governor of the least of the servants of my adoni to confide on Misrayim for chariots and for cavalry? ²⁵ Now, ascend I without Yah Veh, against this place to ruin it? Yah Veh says to me, Ascend against this land and ruin it. ²⁶ And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah and Shebna and Yah Ach say to Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler, Word, I beseech you, to your servants in Aramaic; for we hear it: and word not with us in Yah Hudaic in the ears of the people on the wall.

²⁷ And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, My adoni, sends he me to word these words to your master and to you? - and not to the men who settle on the wall - to eat their own dungs and drink the urine at their feet with you?

²⁷ And Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler says to them, My adoni, sends he me to word these words to your master and to you? - and not to the men who settle on the wall - to eat their own dungs and drink the urine at their feet with you? ²⁸ Then Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler stands and calls with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and words saying, Hear the word of the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur;

²⁸ Then Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler stands and calls with a great voice in Yah Hudaic, and words saying, Hear the word of the great sovereign - the sovereign of Ashshur; ²⁹ thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you for he is not able to rescue you from his hand:

²⁹ thus says the sovereign, Neither let Yechizqi Yah deceive you for he is not able to rescue you from his hand: ³⁰ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us; that this city not be given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur:

³⁰ nor let Yechizqi Yah have you confide in Yah Veh saying, In rescuing, Yah Veh rescues us; that this city not be given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur: ³¹ Hearken not to Yechizqi Yah: for thus says the sovereign of Ashshur, Work a blessing with me and come out to me; and eat - every man of you of his own vine and every man of his fig tree and drink - every man of you of the waters of his well: ³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land - a land of crop and juice a land of bread and vineyards a land of oil olive and of honey - to live and not die: and hearken not to Yechizqi Yah, who goads you, saying, Yah Veh rescues us. ³³ In rescuing, have any of the elohim of the goyim rescued a man his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur?

³³ In rescuing, have any of the elohim of the goyim rescued a man his land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur? ³⁴ Where are the elohim of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim, Hena and Avva? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand?

³⁴ Where are the elohim of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim, Hena and Avva? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand? ³⁵ Who are they among all the elohim of the lands who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand?

³⁵ Who are they among all the elohim of the lands who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand? ³⁶ And the people hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not. ³⁷ Then El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph the remembrancer, come to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler.

² And he sends El Yaqim who is over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests - covered with saq to Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos: ³ and they say to him, Thus says Yechizqi Yah: This day is a day of tribulation and of reproof and scorning; for the sons come to the matrix and there is no force to birth: ⁴ perhaps Yah Veh your Elohim hears all the words of Rab Shaqeh/the chief butler whom his adoni the sovereign of Ashshur sends to reproach the living Elohim; and reprove the words Yah Veh your Elohim heard: and lift a prayer for the survivors that are found.

⁶ and Yesha Yah says to them, Say thus to your adoni, Yah Veh says thus: Awe not at the face of the words you heard, by which the lads of the sovereign of Ashshur blasphemed me: ⁷ behold, I give him a spirit; and he hears a report and returns to his own land; and I fell him by the sword in his own land.

⁹ And when he hears say of Tirhaqah sovereign of Kush, Behold, he goes to fight you! - he returns and sends angels to Yechizqi Yah, saying, ¹⁰ Say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim in whom you confide deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur: ¹¹ behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur work to all lands by devoting them: - and you - rescued? ¹² Rescued the elohim of the goyim them whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden in Thelasar?

¹² Rescued the elohim of the goyim them whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden in Thelasar? ¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath and the sovereign of Arpad and the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim - of Hena and Avva? ¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah takes the scroll from the hand of the angels and calls it out: and Yechizqi Yah ascends into the house of Yah Veh and spreads it at the face of Yah Veh.

¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah takes the scroll from the hand of the angels and calls it out: and Yechizqi Yah ascends into the house of Yah Veh and spreads it at the face of Yah Veh. ¹⁵ And Yechizqi Yah prays at the face of Yah Veh and says, O Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El who settles between the cherubim; you are Elohim - you alone of all the sovereigndoms of the earth; you worked the heavens and earth: ¹⁶ Yah Veh, spread your ear and hear: open, Yah Veh, your eyes and see: and hear the words of Sancherib, who sends him to reproach the living Elohim. ¹⁷ Truly, Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur desolated the goyim and their lands,

¹⁷ Truly, Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur desolated the goyim and their lands, ¹⁸ and gave their elohim to the fire: for they are no elohim but the work of human hands - timber and stone: and destroyed them.

¹⁸ and gave their elohim to the fire: for they are no elohim but the work of human hands - timber and stone: and destroyed them. ¹⁹ Now, O Yah Veh our Elohim, I beseech you, you - save us from his hand; so that all the sovereigndoms of the earth know you are Yah Veh Elohim - you only. ²⁰ And Yesha Yah the son of Amos sends to Yechizqi Yah, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: What you pray to me against Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur I hear.

²² Whom reproach you and blaspheme? Against whom exalt you your voice and lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy of Yisra El!

²⁸ because your quaking against me and your uproar ascends into my ears, I set my hook in your nostrils and my bit in your lips and I turn you back the way you came.

³⁵ And so be it, that night, the angel of Yah Veh goes out and smites in the camp of the Ashshuri - a hundred eighty-five thousand: and they start early in the morning, and behold, they are all dead carcases. ³⁶ And Sancherib, sovereign of Ashshur pulls stakes and goes and returns and settles at Nineveh: ³⁷ and so be it, he prostrates in the house of Nisroch his elohim. and his sons Adram Melech and Shareser smite him with the sword: and they escape into the land of Ararat: and Esar Chaddon his son reigns in his stead.

THE SICKNESS OF YECHIZQI YAH
In those days Yechizqi Yah is sick unto death: and the prophet Yesha Yah the son of Amos comes to him and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, Misvah concerning your house for you die and live not. ² And he turns his face to the wall and prays to Yah Veh, saying, ³ I beseech you, O Yah Veh, remember, I pray you, how I walked at your face in truth and with a heart at shalom and worked good in your eyes! - and Yechizqi Yah weeps a great weeping. ⁴ And so be it, ere Yesha Yah goes midst the city, the word of Yah Veh comes to him, saying, ⁵ Turn back and say to Yechizqi Yah, the eminent of my people, Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of David your father, I hear your prayer; I see your tears; behold, I heal you: on the third day, ascend to the house of Yah Veh: ⁶ and I add fifteen years to your days; and I rescue you and this city from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur: and I garrison this city for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David. ⁷ And Yesha Yah says, Take a cake of figs. - and they take and set it on the ulcer and he enlivens. ⁸ And Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, What is the sign that Yah Veh heals me and I ascend into the house of Yah Veh the third day?

⁸ And Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, What is the sign that Yah Veh heals me and I ascend into the house of Yah Veh the third day? ⁹ And Yesha Yah says, This is your sign of Yah Veh that Yah Veh works the word he worded: that the shadow go forward ten degrees, or turns back ten degrees.

⁹ And Yesha Yah says, This is your sign of Yah Veh that Yah Veh works the word he worded: that the shadow go forward ten degrees, or turns back ten degrees. ¹⁰ And Yechizqi Yah says, It is a trifle that the shadow spread ten degrees: no, but have the shadow turn back ten degrees.

¹⁰ And Yechizqi Yah says, It is a trifle that the shadow spread ten degrees: no, but have the shadow turn back ten degrees. ¹¹ And Yesha Yah the prophet calls to Yah Veh: and he turns back the shadow ten degrees by the degrees it descends in the degrees of Achaz.

¹¹ And Yesha Yah the prophet calls to Yah Veh: and he turns back the shadow ten degrees by the degrees it descends in the degrees of Achaz. ¹²
THE BABEL ENVOYS
At that time Berodach Bel Adoni, the son of Bel Adan sovereign of Babel sends scrolls and an offering to Yechizqi Yah: for he hears Yechizqi Yah is sick: ¹³ and Yechizqi Yah hearkens to them and has them see all the house of his spicery - the silver and the gold and the spices and the best ointment and all the house of his instruments and all they find in his treasures - neither word in his house nor in all his reign that Yechizqi Yah has them not see.

¹³ and Yechizqi Yah hearkens to them and has them see all the house of his spicery - the silver and the gold and the spices and the best ointment and all the house of his instruments and all they find in his treasures - neither word in his house nor in all his reign that Yechizqi Yah has them not see.

¹⁶ And Yesha Yah says to Yechizqi Yah, Hear the word of Yah Veh. ¹⁷ Behold, the days come, that all in your house which your fathers treasure to this day, is lifted to Babel - no word remains, says Yah Veh. ¹⁸ And of your sons who emerge from you, whom you birth, they take away; to be eunuchs in the temple of the sovereign of Babel. ¹⁹ Then Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, Good is the word of Yah Veh you worded. And he says, But not if shalom and truth become in my days. ²⁰
THE DEATH OF YECHIZQI YAH
And the rest of the words of Yechizqi Yah and all his might and how he works a pool and a channel and brings water into the city, are they not inscribed in the scroll of the words of the days of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah?

⁴ and the city splits - all the men of war by night by the way of the portal between two walls by the garden of the sovereign: - and the Kasdiy are against the city all around: and go the way toward the plain.

¹
SATAN GOADS DAVID TO NUMBER YISRA EL
And Satan stands against Yisra El and goads David to number Yisra El:

¹² - either three years famine; - or three months to be scraped away at the face of your tribulators as the sword of your enemies overtakes you; - or three days of the sword of Yah Veh even the pestilence in the land and the angel of Yah Veh ruining throughout all the borders of Yisra El: and now see, What word return I to him who sends me? ¹³ And David says to Gad, I am mighty tribulated: Let me fall, I pray you, into the hand of Yah Veh; for mighty many are his mercies: but that I not fall into the hand of humanity. ¹⁴ So Yah Veh gives pestilence on Yisra El: and there fall seventy thousand men of Yisra El: ¹⁵ and Elohim sends an angel to ruin Yeru Shalem: and as he ruins, Yah Veh sees and he sighs concerning the evil; and says to the angel who ruins, Enough now! Slacken your hand! And the angel of Yah Veh stands by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Yebusiy: ¹⁶ and David lifts his eyes and sees the angel of Yah Veh stand between the earth and between the heavens, with his sword drawn in his hand spread over Yeru Shalem. - and David and the elders cover in saq and fall on their faces. ¹⁷ And David says to Elohim, Said I not to number the people? Yes, I who sins? Who in vilifying, vilifies? And as for this flock, what worked they? Let your hand, I beseech you, O Yah Veh my Elohim, be on me and on the house of my father; but not on your people, to plague them.

¹³ then you prosper, if you guard to work the statutes and judgments Yah Veh misvahed Mosheh concerning Yisra El. Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify!

³ of the sons of Peres is the head of all the governors of the host for the first month. ⁴ And over the allotment of the second month: Doday an Ach Oachiy; and of his allotment, Miqloth is also the eminent; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ⁵ The third governor of the host for the third month: Bena Yah the son of Yah Yada a head priest; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand: ⁶ this Bena Yah is mighty among the thirty and above the thirty: and in his allotment, Ammi Zabad his son. ⁷ The fourth for the fourth month: Asa El the brother of Yah Ab and Zebad Yah his son after him; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ⁸ The fifth governor for the fifth month: Shamhuth the Yizrach; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ⁹ The sixth for the sixth month: Ira the son of Iqqesh the Teqohiy; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹⁰ The seventh for the seventh month: Heles the Paloniy of the sons of Ephrayim; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹¹ The eighth for the eighth month: Sibbechay the Hushathiy, of the Zerachiy; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹² The ninth for the ninth month: Abi Ezer the Anathothiy of the Ben Yaminiy; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹³ The tenth for the tenth month: Maharay the Netophathiy, of the Zerachiy; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹⁴ The eleventh for the eleventh month: Bena Yah the Pirathoniy, of the sons of Ephrayim; and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹⁵ The twelfth for the twelfth month: Helday the Netophathiy, of Othni El: and in his allotment - twenty-four thousand. ¹⁶

OVERSEERS OF THE TREASURES OF THE SOVEREIGN
And over the treasures of the sovereign: Azmaveth the son of Adi El; and over the treasures in the fields in the cities and in the villages and in the towers: Jehonathan the son of Uzzi Yah;

²⁵
OVERSEERS OF THE TREASURES OF THE SOVEREIGN

³¹ and over the flocks: Yaziz the Hagariy. - all these are the governors of the acquisition which are to David the sovereign. ³² And Yah Nathan the uncle of David is a counsellor - a discerning man and a scribe: and Yechi El the son of Hachmoniy is with the sons of the sovereign: ³³ and Achiy Thophel is counsellor of the sovereign: and Hushay the Arkiy is friend of the sovereign: ³⁴ and after Achiy Thophel, Yah Yada the son of Bena Yah and Abi Athar; and the governor of the host of the sovereign: Yah Ab.

¹⁰ See now; for Yah Veh chooses you to build a house for the holies: Strengthen! Work!

²⁰ And David says to Shelomoh his son, Strengthen! Encourage! Work! Neither awe, nor terrify: for Yah Veh Elohim, my Elohim, is with you; he neither lets you down nor forsakes you until you finish all the work for the service of the house of Yah Veh.

¹² and riches and honor are at your face and you reign over all; and in your hand is force and might; and in your hand to greaten and to strengthen all.

²⁵ And Yah Veh greatens Shelomoh in the eyes of all Yisra El; and gives on him the majesty of the sovereigndom as has not become any sovereign at his face in Yisra El.

¹
SHELOMOH STRENGTHENS IN HIS SOVEREIGNDOM
And Shelomoh the son of David strengthens in his sovereigndom; and Yah Veh his Elohim is with him and greatens him exceedingly.

¹² wisdom and knowledge are given you; and I give you riches and holdings and honor such as neither became sovereigns at your face, nor becomes after you.

¹
THE FURNISHINGS OF THE HOUSE OF YAH VEH
And he works a sacrifice altar of copper, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high:

⁶ and I choose Yeru Shalem, for my name to be there; and choose David to be over my people Yisra El.

⁹ And she gives the sovereign a hundred and twenty rounds of gold and of spices mighty abundance and precious stones: there is no such spice as the sovereigness of Sheba gives sovereign Shelomoh. ¹⁰ And the servants of Hiram and the servants of Shelomoh who bring gold from Ophir also bring algumim trees and precious stones:

²⁴ and every man brings his offering - instruments of silver and instruments of gold and clothes, armor and spices, horses and mules - a year by year word.

²⁷ And in Yeru Shalem the sovereign gives silver as stones and gives cedar trees in abundance - as the sycomore trees in the lowlands.

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.

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.

⁵ and he turns aside the bamahs and the sun icons from all the cities of Yah Hudah; and the sovereigndom rests at his face: ⁶ and he builds rampart cities in Yah Hudah: for the land rests and he has no war in those years; because Yah Veh rests him. ⁷ And he says to Yah Hudah, We build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, doors and bars while the land is still at our face; because we seek Yah Veh our Elohim: we seek him and he rests us all around. - and they build and prosper.

¹¹ And Asa calls to Yah Veh his Elohim and says, Yah Veh, it is naught with you to help - between many, or them who have no force: help us, O Yah Veh our Elohim; for we lean on you; and in your name we go against this multitude. O Yah Veh, you are our Elohim; may mortal man not restrain against you.

¹⁴ - entombed in his own tombs, which he dug for himself in the city of David; and lay him in a bed filled with spices - species by species of perfumed ointment: and they burn a mighty great burning for him.

¹
YAH SHAPHAT REIGNS OVER YAH HUDAH
And Yah Shaphat his son reigns in his stead and strengthens himself against Yisra El: ² and he gives the valiant in all the fortified cities of Yah Hudah; and gives stations in the land of Yah Hudah and in the cities of Ephrayim Asa his father captured.

⁵ and Yah Veh establishes the sovereigndom in his hand; and all Yah Hudah gives Yah Shaphat offerings; and he has riches and honor in abundance:

¹¹ and the Peleshethiy bring Yah Shaphat offerings and burden silver; and the Arabiy bring him flocks - seven thousand and seven hundred rams and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats.

¹⁴ and these are the mustered according to the house of their fathers: of Yah Hudah, the governors of thousands: Adnah the governor and with him - three hundred thousand mighty of valour; ¹⁵ and at his hand: Yah Hanan the governor; and with him - two hundred and eighty thousand; ¹⁶ and at his hand: Amas Yah the son of Zichri who volunteers to Yah Veh; and with him mighty of valour - two hundred thousand; ¹⁷ and of Ben Yamin; Eli Ada mighty of valour and with him, them kissed with bow and buckler - two hundred thousand; ¹⁸ and at his hand, Yah Zabad: and with him equipped for hostility - a hundred and eighty thousand. ¹⁹ - these ministered to the sovereign, beside them the sovereign gives in the fortified cities throughout all Yah Hudah.

² and Yah Hu the son of Hanani the seer goes out to face him; and says to sovereign Yah Shaphat, Help you the wicked and love them who hate Yah Veh? This rage be on you from the face of Yah Veh.

¹
SONS OF MOAB AND AMMON COME AGAINST YAH SHAPHAT
And so be it, after this, the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon and of the Ammoniy with them, come against Yah Shaphat to war. ² And some come who tell Yah Shaphat, saying, A great multitude comes against you from beyond the sea on this side Aram; and behold, they are in Haseson Tamar - En Gedi.

⁶ and says, O Yah Veh Elohim of our fathers, Are you not Elohim in the heavens? Yes, you reign over all the sovereigndoms of the goyim! And force and might are in your hand so that no one is able to withstand you! ⁷ Are not you our Elohim who dispossessed the settlers of this land at the face of your people Yisra El? And gave it to the seed of Abraham your beloved eternally? ⁸ And they settle therein and build you a holies for your name, saying, ⁹ If, evil comes on us, as the sword, judgment or pestilence or famine we stand at the face of this house and at your face - for your name is in this house and cry to you in our tribulation; and you hear and save. ¹⁰ And now, behold, the sons of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom you gave not Yisra El to invade when they came from the land of Misrayim - for they turned aside from them and desolated them not: ¹¹ - and behold, how they deal us, to come to expel us from the possession you gave us to possess. ¹² O our Elohim, judge you them not? We have no force at the face of this great multitude who comes against us; and we know not what to work: but our eyes are on you.

¹⁵ and he says, Hearken, all Yah Hudah, and you, settlers of Yeru Shalem, and you, sovereign Yah Shaphat: thus says Yah Veh to you: Neither awe nor terrify at the face of this great multitude; for the war is not to you, but to Elohim:

¹⁷ Fight not in this: Set yourselves! Stand! See the salvation of Yah Veh with you, O Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: neither awe nor terrify: tomorrow go out at their face and Yah Veh is with you.

²⁰ And they start early in the morning and go to the wilderness of Teqoha: and as they go Yah Shaphat stands and says, Hear me, O Yah Hudah and you settlers of Yeru Shalem; Trust in Yah Veh your Elohim, amenable; trust his prophets, prosper.

¹
YAH YADA SETS YAH ASH TO REIGN OVER YAH HUDAH
And in the seventh year Yah Yada strengthens himself and takes the governors of hundreds - Azar Yah the son of Yerocham and Yishma El the son of Yah Hanan and Azar Yah the son of Obed and Maase Yah the son of Ada Yah and Eli Shaphat the son of Zichri into covenant with him:

¹⁸ and they forsake the house of Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers and serve asherim and idols; and rage comes upon Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem for this their guilt:

⁹ And Amaz Yah says to the man of Elohim, But what work we for the hundred rounds I gave to the troop of Yisra El? And the man of Elohim says, Yah Veh is able to give you aboundingly more than this.

¹⁹ You say, Behold, I smote the Edomiy! - and you lift your heart to honor: settle now in your house; why coax evil so that you fall - you and Yah Hudah with you?

²³ And Yah Ash, the sovereign of Yisra El apprehends Amaz Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah the son of Yah Ash the son of Yah Achaz at Beth Shemesh; and brings him to Yeru Shalem: and breaks the wall of Yeru Shalem from the portal of Ephrayim to the portal at the face - four hundred cubits:

⁸ and the Ammoniy give offerings to Uzzi Yah: and his name goes to the entering of Misrayim; for he strengthens exceedingly.

¹⁰ and he builds towers in the wilderness and hewes many wells: for he has much chattel - both in the lowlands and in the plains - cultivators and vine dressers in the mountains and in orchards/Karmel: for he loves the soil:

¹⁴ And throughout all the host Uzzi Yah prepares for them bucklers and javelins and helmets and habergeons and bows and stones for slings: ¹⁵ and in Yeru Shalem he works fabrications - the fabrication of fabricators to be on the towers and on the corners from which to flow arrows and great stones: and his name goes afar off; for they help him marvellously until he prevails. ¹⁶ And he strengthens, and exalts his heart to his ruin; and he treasons against Yah Veh his Elohim: and goes into the manse of Yah Veh to incense on the sacrifice altar of incense.

² And the sovereign and his governors and all the congregation in Yeru Shalem, counsel to work the pasach in the second month:

¹⁴ And they rise and turn aside the sacrifice altars in Yeru Shalem and they turn aside all the censers and cast them into the wadi Qidron:

²² And Yechizqi Yah words to the heart of all the Leviym who comprehend the good comprehension of Yah Veh: and they eat throughout the festival seven days, sacrificing the sacrifices of shelamim and spread hands to Yah Veh Elohim of their fathers.

¹
YISRA EL DESTROYS THE MONOLITHS, ASHERIM, AND BAMAHS
And all this is finished, all the Yisra Eliy they find go to the cities of Yah Hudah and break the monoliths and cut down the asherim and pull down the bamahs and the sacrifice altars from all Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin and in Ephrayim and Menash Sheh until they finish them off: and all the sons of Yisra El return, every man to his possession, to their own cities.

²⁰ And thus Yechizqi Yah works throughout all Yah Hudah; and works good and straight and truth at the face of Yah Veh his Elohim: ²¹ and in every work he begins in the service of the house of Elohim and in the torah and in the misvoth - to seek his Elohim he works with all his heart and prospers.

¹
THE SOVEREIGN OF ASHSHUR ENCAMPS AGAINST YERU SHALEM
After these words and this truth, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur comes and enters Yah Hudah and encamps against the cut off cities; and says to split them for himself:

⁴ and much people gather and stop all the fountains and the wadi that overflows midst the land saying, Why come the sovereigns of Ashshur and find much water?

¹¹ Yechizqi Yah - goads he not you to give yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Yah Veh our Elohim rescues us from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur?

¹³ Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand? ¹⁴ Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand? ¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand.

¹⁵ And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand. ¹⁶ And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah: ¹⁷ and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand.

¹⁹ and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity.

²⁴ In those days, Yechizqi Yah is sick to die and prays to Yah Veh: and he says to him and he gives him an omen:

³⁰ This is the same Yechizqi Yah who stopped the upper watersprings of Gichon and brought it downward - duskward of the city of David - and Yechizqi Yah prospers in all his works. ³¹ And thus, by the interpreters of the governors of Babel, who send to him to enquire of the omen in the land, Elohim left him, to test him, to know all that is in his heart.

MENASH SHEH REIGNS IN YERU SHALEM
Menash Sheh is a son of twelve years when he begins to reign and he reigns fifty-five years in Yeru Shalem: ² and works evil in the eyes of Yah Veh - like the abhorrences of the goyim whom Yah Veh dispossessed at the face of the sons of Yisra El: ³ and he returns and builds the bamahs Yechizqi Yah his father pulled down; and he raises sacrifice altars for Baalim and works asherim; and prostrates to all the host of the heavens and serves them; ⁴ and he builds sacrifice altars in the house of Yah Veh whereof Yah Veh says, In Yeru Shalem is my name eternally. 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 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. ⁷ And he sets a sculptile - a figurine he worked in the house of Elohim, of which Elohim said to David and to Shelomoh his son, In this house and in Yeru Shalem which I chose from all the scions of Yisra El I set my name eternally: ⁸ I neither turn aside the foot of Yisra El from the soil which I stood for your fathers; so that they guard to work all I misvahed them, according to the whole torah and the statutes and the judgments by the hand of Mosheh. ⁹ And Menash Sheh leads Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem astray; and to work evil above the goyim whom Yah Veh desolated at the face of the sons of Yisra El: ¹⁰ and Yah Veh words to Menash Sheh and to his people but they hearkened not: ¹¹ and Yah Veh brings on them the governors of the host of the sovereign of Ashshur who capture Menash Sheh among the thorns and bind him with copper and walk him to Babel: ¹² and he is tribulated, and he strokes the face of Yah Veh his Elohim and humbles himself mightily at the face of Elohim of his fathers;

¹² and he is tribulated, and he strokes the face of Yah Veh his Elohim and humbles himself mightily at the face of Elohim of his fathers; ¹³ and prays to him: and he is intreated of him and hears his supplication and returns him to Yeru Shalem to his sovereigndom. - and Menash Sheh knows Yah Veh - he is Elohim. ¹⁴ And after this he builds a wall outside the city of David duskward of Gichon, in the wadi, to the entrance at the fish portal and surrounds Ophel and heightens it mightily; and sets governors of valour in all the cut off cities of Yah Hudah: ¹⁵ and he turns aside the strange elohim and the figurine from the house of Yah Veh and all the sacrifice altars he built in the mount of the house of Yah Veh and in Yeru Shalem; and casts them outside the city: ¹⁶ and he builds the sacrifice altar of Yah Veh and sacrifices sacrifices of shelamim thereon and sacrifices of spread hands; and says to Yah Hudah to serve Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El. ¹⁷ - and the people still sacrifice in the bamahs, but only to Yah Veh their Elohim. ¹⁸ And the rest of the words of Menash Sheh and his prayer to his Elohim and the words of the seers who worded to him in the name of Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, behold, they are in the words of the sovereigns of Yisra El: ¹⁹ and his prayer and his entreaty and all his sins and his treason; and the places he built bamahs and stood asherim and sculptiles at the face of his being humbled: behold, they are inscribed among the words of seers/Hozay.

¹⁹ and his prayer and his entreaty and all his sins and his treason; and the places he built bamahs and stood asherim and sculptiles at the face of his being humbled: behold, they are inscribed among the words of seers/Hozay. ²⁰ And Menash Sheh lies down with his fathers - entombed in his own house: and Amon his son reigns in his stead.

²³ and humbles not himself at the face of Yah Veh as Menash Sheh his father humbled himself: for Amon abounds his guilt.

²⁷ because you tenderize your heart and humble yourself at the face of Elohim - when you hear his words against this place and against the settlers thereof; and humble yourself at my face and rip your clothes and weep at my face; I also hear you - an oracle of Yah Veh. ²⁸ Behold, I gather you to your fathers, - gather to your tomb in shalom, that your eyes not see all the evil I bring on this place and on the settlers of the same. And they return word to the sovereign:

¹⁵ and to bring the silver and gold the sovereign and his counsellors volunteer to Elah of Yisra El, whose tabernacle is in Yeru Shalem: ¹⁶ and all the silver and gold you find in all the jurisdiction of Babel - with the voluntary of the people and of the priests who volunteer for the house of their Elah in Yeru Shalem: ¹⁷ so with this silver, diligently buy bulls, rams, lambs, with their offerings and their libations; and oblate them on the sacrifice altar of the house of your Elah in Yeru Shalem. ¹⁸ And whatever well-pleases you and your brothers to do with the silver and the gold that survives, do after the intention of your Elah: ¹⁹ and shalam the vessels given you for the service of the house of your Elah, in front of the Elah of Yeru Shalem: ²⁰ and the rest of the needs for the house of your Elah whatever befalls you to give - give from the treasure house of the sovereign. ²¹ And from me, even I - Artach Shashta the sovereign set a decree to all the treasurers beyond the river - that all that Ezra the priest, the scribe of the edict of Elah of the heavens, asks of you, do diligently ²² - to a hundred rounds of silver and to a hundred measures of wheat and to a hundred baths of fermentation and to a hundred baths of anointing oil and salt not scribed:

²⁷ Blessed - Yah Veh Elohim of our fathers who gives such as this in the heart of the sovereign, to adorn the house of Yah Veh in Yeru Shalem:

⁹ And all the men of Yah Hudah and Ben Yamin gather to Yeru Shalem within three days - the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people settle in the broadway of the house of Elohim - trembling because of this word and for the great rain.

⁵ And Sanballat sends his lad to me in like word a fifth time with an open epistle in his hand;

⁹ for they all awe us, saying, Their hands slacken from the work, that it is not worked: and now, my hands strengthen.

¹
EZRA CALLS OUT THE TORAH
And all the people gather as one man into the broadway at the face of the water portal; and they say to Ezra the scribe to bring the scroll of the torah of Mosheh which Yah Veh misvahed to Yisra El: ² and Ezra the priest brings the torah at the face of the congregation - both of men and women; and all who discern to hearken; on the first day of the seventh month. ³ And he calls out therein at the face of the broadway at the face of the water portal from the light until midday; in front of the men and the women and all who discern; and the ears of all the people to the scroll of the torah.

¹⁶ And the people go and bring and work themselves sukkoth/brush arbors, - each man on the roof of his house and in their courts and in the courts of the house of Elohim and in the broadway of the water portal and in the broadway of the portal of Ephrayim.

³ and his chattel: seven thousand flocks and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred she burros and a mighty great servantry; so that this man is the greatest of all the men of the east.

⁹ And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Iyob, fears he Elohim gratuitously?

¹¹ And yet, spread your hand, I beseech, and touch all that he has, whether he blesses you to your face. ¹² And Yah Veh says to Satan, Behold, all he has is in your hand; only spread not your hand on his self. - and Satan goes from the face of Yah Veh.

³ And Yah Veh says to Satan, Have you set your heart on my servant Iyob - that there is no one like him in the earth; an integrious and straight man; one who awes Elohim and turns aside from evil? And still he upholds his integrity although you goad me to swallow him gratuitously. ⁴ And Satan answers Yah Veh and says, Skin for skin; yes, all a man has he gives for his soul; ⁵ but spread your hand, I beseech and touch his bone and his flesh, whether he blesses you to your face. ⁶ And Yah Veh says to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but guard his soul.

⁴ He is wise in heart and strong in force. Who hardens against him and shalams?

²⁵ he spreads his hand against El and prevails mightily against Shadday. ²⁶ He runs on him - on his neck - on the thick bosses of his shields;

⁹ Have you an arm like El? Thunder with a voice like him?

¹² And Yah Veh blesses the finality of Iyob more than his beginning; for he has fourteen thousand flocks and six thousand camels and a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand she burros:

¹
BOOK I
Blithe - the man who neither walks in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor settles in the settlement of the scornful. ² But his delight is in the torah of Yah Veh; and in his torah he meditates day and night; ³ and being as a tree transplanted by the rivulets of water, giving his fruit in his time: his leaf withers not; and whatever he works, prospers.

² many say of my soul, There is no salvation for him in Elohim. Selah.

¹³ The wicked - why scorn they Elohim? He says in his heart, Not required! ¹⁴ You see; for you scan toil and vexation, they give into your hand; they leave the unfortunate to you you - the helper of the orphan.

¹ To His Eminence; By David. In Yah Veh I seek refuge; how say you to my soul, Wander as a bird to your mountain? ² For, behold, the wicked bend their bow; they prepare their arrow on the cord; and in the darkness shoot at the straight in heart. ³ If the foundations demolish, what are the just to do?

⁴⁸ He slips me away from my enemies; yes, you lift me above them who rise; you rescue me from the man of violence. ⁴⁹ So I spread hands to you, O Yah Veh, among the goyim, and psalm to your name. ⁵⁰ He greatens salvation to his sovereign; and works mercy to his anointed - to David, and to his seed eternally.

⁵⁰ He greatens salvation to his sovereign; and works mercy to his anointed - to David, and to his seed eternally.

⁸ saying, Roll on Yah Veh! He rescues him! He slips him away, seeing he delights in him!

⁹ Neither hide your face from me nor pervert your servant away in wrath; you are my help: neither leave me nor forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation.

³⁹ the salvation of the just is of Yah Veh - their stronghold in the time of tribulation. ⁴⁰ Yah Veh helps them and slips them away - slips them away from the wicked and saves them, because they seek refuge in him.

¹⁰ With murder in my bones, my tribulators reproach me; all day they say to me, Where is your Elohim?

⁷ Yah Veh Sabaoth is with us; the Elohim of Yaaqov is our secure loft. Selah.

¹¹ Yah Veh Sabaoth is with us; Elohim of Yaaqov is our secure loft. Selah.

¹⁴ For this Elohim is our Elohim eternally and eternally; he - he drives us over death.

¹⁵ call on me in the day of tribulation: I rescue you and you honor me.

¹¹ Neither cast me from your face; nor take your holy spirit from me: ¹² restore to me the rejoicing of your salvation; and uphold me with your free voluntary spirit.

²⁹ Because of your manse at Yeru Shalem sovereigns bring presents to you.

¹¹ saying, Elohim forsook him; pursue and grab him: for there is no one to rescue.

²⁰ - you, who shows me great and evil tribulations; enliven me and ascend me from the abysses of the earth: ²¹ abound my greatness and surround me and sigh.

¹⁰ The sovereigns of Tarshish and of the islands return offerings; the sovereigns of Sheba and Seba oblate their hire;

⁸ they blaspheme and word evil concerning oppression; they word loftily: ⁹ they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth.

⁹ they set their mouth against the heavens and their tongue walks through the earth. ¹⁰ So his people return here; and waters of fulness wring out to them. ¹¹ And they say, How knows El? Is there knowledge in Elyon?

²⁴ you lead me with your counsel and afterward take me to honor.

¹ To His Eminence; On Strummer; A Psalm by Asaph: A Song. In Yah Hudah, Elohim is known; in Yisra El, his name is great; ² and in Salem, his sukkoth/brush arbors; and his habitation in Siyon.

⁵ The mighty of heart spoil; they slumber away their sleep; and none of the men of valour find their hands.

⁷ You - you are awesome; and who stands at the face of your eyes since your wrath?

¹² He cuts off the spirit of the eminent; - awesome to the sovereigns of the earth.

⁶⁸ but chose the scion of Yah Hudah - the mount Siyon he loved:

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: ³ honors are worded of you, O city of Elohim. Selah.

¹⁴ Because he attaches himself to me, I slip him away; loft him, because he knows my name. ¹⁵ He calls on me and I answer him; I am with him in tribulation; I rescue him and honor him:

³ Our Elohim is in the heavens; he works whatever he desires. 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.

¹² What return I to Yah Veh for all his benefits toward me? ¹³ I lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of Yah Veh;

¹¹⁶ Uphold me according to your sayings, that I live; that I not shame because of my expectation: ¹¹⁷ uphold me and I am saved; and I look to your statutes continually.

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.

¹⁸ I enrobe his enemies with shame; and on him, his separatism flourishes.

¹⁵ The idols of the goyim are silver and gold - the work of human hands: ¹⁶ mouths, and they word not; eyes, and they see not; ¹⁷ ears, and they hearken not; nose, and their is no spirit/wind in their mouth. ¹⁸ They who work them are likened to them; thus every one who confides in them.

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;

¹⁹ Surely you sever the wicked, O Elohah; so turn aside from me, you men of blood: ²⁰ for they say intrigue against you; lift your enemies in vanity.

²³ Probe me, O El, and know my heart; proof me and know my thoughts: ²⁴ and see if there be a contorting way in me and lead me in the way eternal.

¹⁰ - who gives salvation to sovereigns; who release David his servant from the evil sword.

⁷ The memorial of the just is for blessings; and the name of the wicked rots.

²² The blessing of Yah Veh enriches and he adds no contorting with it.

² Arrogance comes; abasement comes: and with the humble is wisdom.

²⁵ Concern prostrates the heart of man; and a good word cheers.

²² Without private counsel fabrications are broken; and in the abundance of counsellors, they rise.

¹⁸ Pomp is at the face of the breech and a lifted spirit is at the face of the stumble.

³ The crucible for silver; the furnace for gold; and Yah Veh proofs the hearts.

¹⁸ Every fabrication is established by counsel; and with counsels, work war.

⁶ For by counsels, you work war; and in abundance of counsellors, there is salvation.

⁸ and the land is filled with idols; they prostrate to the work of their own hands which their own fingers worked:

¹⁷ Yah Veh brings upon you and upon your people and upon the house of your father, days such as came not - even from the day Ephrayim turned aside from Yah Hudah by the sovereign of Ashshur. ¹⁸ And so be it, in that day, Yah Veh hisses for the fly in the end of the rivers of Misrayim and for the bee in the land of Ashshur:

⁶ Because this people refuses the waters of Shiloach that come gently and in joy with Resin and the son of Remal Yah; ⁷ so, behold, Adonay ascends upon them the waters of the river, mighty and many, the sovereign of Ashshur and all his honor: and he ascends over all his reservoirs and goes over all his banks: ⁸ and he passes through Yah Hudah; he overflows and passes over; he touches to the neck: and the spreading of his wings fills the breadth of your land, O Immanu El.

¹⁰ in counselling, counsel; and it breaks; word the word, and it rises not: for El is with us.

⁵ Ho, Ashshuri, the scion of my wrath; and the rod in their hand, my rage: ⁶ I send him against a goyim of profaners and against the people of my wrath; I misvah him to take the spoil and to plunder the plunder; and to set them for trampling as the heap of the outways: ⁷ and he - he neither considers thus, nor fabricates his heart thus; but in his heart is to desolate and cut off goyim not a few. ⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns?

⁸ - for he says, Are not my governors altogether sovereigns? ⁹ Is not Kalneh as Karchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Shomeron as Dammeseq?

⁹ Is not Kalneh as Karchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Shomeron as Dammeseq? ¹⁰ As my hand found the sovereigndoms of the idol, and their sculptiles of Yeru Shalem and Shomeron;

¹⁰ As my hand found the sovereigndoms of the idol, and their sculptiles of Yeru Shalem and Shomeron; ¹¹ Work I not as I worked to Shomeron and her idols? Work thus to Yeru Shalem and her idols?

¹¹ Work I not as I worked to Shomeron and her idols? Work thus to Yeru Shalem and her idols? ¹² And so be it, when Adonay clips his whole work on mount Siyon and on Yeru Shalem, I visit upon the fruit of the greatness of heart of the sovereign of Ashshur and the adornment of his haughty eyes.

¹⁴ and my hand found, as a nest, the valuables of the people: and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; and no one flapped the wing or gaped the mouth or chirped. ¹⁵ Boasts the ax over him who hews therewith? Or greatens the rasp over him who shakes it? - as a scion shakes them who lift it? Or as a rod lifts itself with no timber? ¹⁶ So Adonay - Adonay Sabaoth sends emaciation among his fatness; and under his honor he burns a burning as the burning of a fire: ¹⁷ and the light of Yisra El is for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and in one day it burns and consumes his thorns and his briers; ¹⁸ and finishes off the honor of his forest and of his orchard/Karmel - both soul and flesh: to become as when an ensignbearer melts: ¹⁹ and the survivors of the trees of his forest become a number, that even a lad can inscribe them.

²⁴ So Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth says thus: O my people settling in Siyon, awe not the Ashshuri: he smites you with a scion and lifts his rod against you after the way of Misrayim: ²⁵ for yet a very little while, and I conclude the rage, and my wrath in their consumption.

³³ Behold, Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth lops the foliage with violence: and cuts the high ones of height and abases the lofty: ³⁴ and he strikes the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon falls by the mighty.

³² What then, answers one, of the angels of the goyim? That Yah Veh founded Siyon, and the humble of his people seek refuge therein.

¹² Ho to the multitude of many people who roar as the roar of the seas; and to the uproar of nations who waste as the wasting of many waters! ¹³ The nations roar as the roaring of many waters: and he rebukes and they flee far off - pursued as the chaff of the mountains at the face of the wind - as a whirler at the face of the hurricane. ¹⁴ And behold, at evening time, terror; and ere the morning, is not. This is the allotment of them who spoil us, and the pebble of them who plunder us.

⁸ and he exposes the covering of Yah Hudah: and in that day, you look to the armour of the house of the forest: ⁹ you also see the fissures of the city of David abounding by the myriads: and you gather together the waters of the nether pool:

⁹ you also see the fissures of the city of David abounding by the myriads: and you gather together the waters of the nether pool: ¹⁰ and you scribe the houses of Yeru Shalem and you pull down the houses to fortify the wall:

¹⁰ and you scribe the houses of Yeru Shalem and you pull down the houses to fortify the wall: ¹¹ and you work a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: and you neither look to the worker, nor see to him who formed it in the distant past.

⁵ And the multitude of your strangers pulverize, and the multitude of the tyrants pass away as chaff: yes, it becomes in a blink - suddenly: ⁶ Yah Veh Sabaoth visits you with thunder and with quake and great voice; with hurricane and storm and the flame of devouring fire: ⁷ and the multitude of all the goyim hosting against Ari El, even all her host and her hunthold, even those distressing her, become as a dream of a night vision. ⁸ And so be it, as when the famished dream: and behold, he eats; and he wakens and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; and he wakens, and behold, he languishes, and his soul yearns: thus is the multitude of all the goyim who host against mount Siyon.

³⁰ And Yah Veh has his voice of majesty to be heard; and the resting of his arm to be seen with the rage of his wrath and the flame of a consuming fire - scattering and flood and hailstones. ³¹ For through the voice of Yah Veh the Ashshuri are beaten down - he smites with a scion. ³² And in every passage the founded rod passes, which Yah Veh rests upon him - with tambourines and harps: and in wars of waving, he fights with it. ³³ For Topheth lined up since yesterday; yes, prepared for the sovereign; he deepens and enlarges: the fuel pile is fire and abounding timber; the breath of Yah Veh, as a wadi of sulphur, burns it.

⁴ For Yah Veh says thus to me, As the lion and the whelp meditate on his prey when a fulness of tenders call against him, he neither terrifies by their voice nor humbles himself for the multitude: thus Yah Veh Sabaoth descends to fight for mount Siyon and for the hill. ⁵ As birds flying, thus Yah Veh Sabaoth garrisons Yeru Shalem: and in garrisoning, he delivers; and passing over he rescues.

¹⁰ Now I rise, says Yah Veh; now I am exalted; now I am lifted. ¹¹ You conceive hay, you birth stubble: your spirit, as fire, consumes you: ¹² and the people become as the calcinations of lime - as thorns cut up - burned in the fire.

²² For Yah Veh our judge; Yah Veh our statute setter; Yah Veh our sovereign; he saves us.

⁴ Say to the hasty heart, Be strong! Awe not! Behold, your Elohim! Avengement comes - the dealing of Elohim; he comes and saves you.

¹⁹ Where are the elohim of Hamath and Arphad? Where are the elohim of Sepharvayim? Rescued they Shomeron from my hand? ²⁰ Who are they, among all the elohim of these lands, who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand?

²⁰ Who are they, among all the elohim of these lands, who rescued their land from my hand, that Yah Veh rescue Yeru Shalem from my hand? ²¹ And they hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not.

²¹ And they hush and answer him not a word: for the misvah of the sovereign is, saying, Answer him not. ²² And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, comes with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph, the memorializer, to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped, and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh.

²² And El Yaqim the son of Hilqi Yah who is over the household, comes with Shebna the scribe, and Yah Ach the son of Asaph, the memorializer, to Yechizqi Yah with their clothes ripped, and tell him the words of Rab Shaqeh.

¹ And so be it, when sovereign Yechizqi Yah hears, he rips his clothes and covers himself with saq, and goes into the house of Yah Veh.

¹ And so be it, when sovereign Yechizqi Yah hears, he rips his clothes and covers himself with saq, and goes into the house of Yah Veh. ² And he sends El Yaqim who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests covered with saq, to Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos:

² And he sends El Yaqim who is over the household, and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests covered with saq, to Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos: ³ and they say to him, Thus says Yechizqi Yah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and of scorning: for the sons come to the matrix and there is no strength to birth.

³ and they say to him, Thus says Yechizqi Yah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and of scorning: for the sons come to the matrix and there is no strength to birth. ⁴ Perhaps Yah Veh your Elohim hears the words of Rab Shaqeh, whom the sovereign of Ashshur his adoni sent to reproach the living Elohim, and to reprove the words Yah Veh your Elohim heard: and to lift your prayer for the survivors who survive.

⁴ Perhaps Yah Veh your Elohim hears the words of Rab Shaqeh, whom the sovereign of Ashshur his adoni sent to reproach the living Elohim, and to reprove the words Yah Veh your Elohim heard: and to lift your prayer for the survivors who survive. ⁵ And the servants of sovereign Yechizqi Yah come to Yesha Yah: ⁶ and Yesha Yah says to them, You, say thus to your adoni, Thus says Yah Veh, Awe not at the face of the words you heard, wherewith the lads of the sovereign of Ashshur blasphemed me. ⁷ Behold, I give a spirit on him, and he hears a report, and returns to his own land; and I fell him by the sword in his own land. ⁸ And Rab Shaqeh returns, and finds the sovereign of Ashshur fighting Libnah: for he heard that he departed from Lachish:

⁸ And Rab Shaqeh returns, and finds the sovereign of Ashshur fighting Libnah: for he heard that he departed from Lachish: ⁹ and he heard say concerning Tirhaqah sovereign of Kush, He comes to fight you. And he hears, and sends angels to Yechizqi Yah, saying, ¹⁰ You, say thus to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah, saying, Let not your Elohim, in whom you confide, deceive you, saying, Yeru Shalem is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur. ¹¹ Behold, you heard what the sovereigns of Ashshur worked to all lands by devoting them - and rescue you? ¹² The elohim of the goyim whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden which were in Telassar - rescued they them?

¹² The elohim of the goyim whom my fathers ruined - Gozan and Haran and Reseph and the sons of Eden which were in Telassar - rescued they them? ¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath? And the sovereign of Arphad? And the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim, Hena, and Avvah?

¹³ Where is the sovereign of Hamath? And the sovereign of Arphad? And the sovereign of the city of Sepharvayim, Hena, and Avvah? ¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah takes the scroll from the hand of the angels, and calls it out: and Yechizqi Yah ascends to the house of Yah Veh and spreads it at the face of Yah Veh:

¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah takes the scroll from the hand of the angels, and calls it out: and Yechizqi Yah ascends to the house of Yah Veh and spreads it at the face of Yah Veh:

¹⁴ And Yechizqi Yah takes the scroll from the hand of the angels, and calls it out: and Yechizqi Yah ascends to the house of Yah Veh and spreads it at the face of Yah Veh: ¹⁵ and Yechizqi Yah prays to Yah Veh, saying,

¹⁵ and Yechizqi Yah prays to Yah Veh, saying, ¹⁶ O Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El, who settles on the cherubim - you Elohim - you only of all the sovereigndoms of the earth; who worked the heavens and earth:

¹⁶ O Yah Veh Sabaoth, Elohim of Yisra El, who settles on the cherubim - you Elohim - you only of all the sovereigndoms of the earth; who worked the heavens and earth: ¹⁷ spread your ear, O Yah Veh, and hear; open your eyes, O Yah Veh, and see: and hear all the words of Sancherib, who sent to reproach the living Elohim.

¹⁷ spread your ear, O Yah Veh, and hear; open your eyes, O Yah Veh, and see: and hear all the words of Sancherib, who sent to reproach the living Elohim. ¹⁸ Truly, O Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur parched all the lands, and their lands;

¹⁸ Truly, O Yah Veh, the sovereigns of Ashshur parched all the lands, and their lands; ¹⁹ and gave their elohim into the fire: for they are no elohim - only the work of human hands, timber and stone: they destroyed them.

¹⁹ and gave their elohim into the fire: for they are no elohim - only the work of human hands, timber and stone: they destroyed them.

¹⁹ and gave their elohim into the fire: for they are no elohim - only the work of human hands, timber and stone: they destroyed them. ²⁰ And now, O Yah Veh our Elohim, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth know that you are Yah Veh - you only.

²⁰ And now, O Yah Veh our Elohim, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth know that you are Yah Veh - you only. ²¹ And Yesha Yah the son of Amos sends to Yechizqi Yah, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, That which you prayed to me against Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur,

²¹ And Yesha Yah the son of Amos sends to Yechizqi Yah, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El, That which you prayed to me against Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur, ²² this is the word Yah Veh words concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Siyon, despises you, ridicules you; the daughter of Yeru Shalem shakes her head behind you. ²³ Whom reproach you? And blaspheme? And against whom exalt you your voice? And lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Yisra El!

²³ Whom reproach you? And blaspheme? And against whom exalt you your voice? And lift your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Yisra El! ²⁴ By the hand of your servants you reproach Adonay, and say, By the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon; and I cut down the height of the cedars and the choice fir trees: and I enter the height of his edge and the forest of his Karmel/orchard:

²⁴ By the hand of your servants you reproach Adonay, and say, By the abundance of my chariots I ascend to the height of the mountains - to the flanks of Lebanon; and I cut down the height of the cedars and the choice fir trees: and I enter the height of his edge and the forest of his Karmel/orchard: ²⁵ I dig and drink water; and with the sole of my steps I parch all the rivers of the rampart. ²⁶ Heard you not in the distant past, that I worked it? Of ancient days, that I formed it? now I bring it to become, for you to waste fortified cities into desolate heaps. ²⁷ And their settlers are short handed - dismayed and shamed - as the herbage of the field and as the green sprouts; as the grass on the roofs and as the field at the face of the stalks. ²⁸ And I know your sitting and your coming and your going; and your quaking against me:

²⁸ And I know your sitting and your coming and your going; and your quaking against me: ²⁹ because of your quaking against me your uproar ascends into my ears: I set my hook in your nostrils and my bit in your lips; and I turn you back by the way you came.

²⁹ because of your quaking against me your uproar ascends into my ears: I set my hook in your nostrils and my bit in your lips; and I turn you back by the way you came. ³⁰ And this is a sign to you, This year you eat the spontaneous growth; and the second year the spontaneous growth: and in the third year you seed and harvest and plant vineyards and eat the fruit. ³¹ And the escapees of the house of Yah Hudah who survive again take root downward and work fruit upward: ³² for survivors come from Yeru Shalem and the escapees from mount Siyon: the zeal of Yah Veh Sabaoth works this. ³³ So Yah Veh says thus concerning the sovereign of Ashshur, He neither comes into this city, nor shoots an arrow there; neither anticipates with buckler, nor pours a bank against it. ³⁴ By the way he came, by the same he returns, and comes not into this city - an oracle of Yah Veh. ³⁵ For I garrison this city to save it for my own sake and for sake of my servant David. ³⁶ And the angel of Yah Veh goes and smites a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Ashshur: and they start early in the morning, and behold, they are all dead carcases. ³⁷ And Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur pulls stakes, and goes and returns and settles at Nineveh. ³⁸ And so be it, as he prostrates in the house of Nisroch his elohim, that his sons Adram Melech and Shareser smite him with the sword; and they escape into the land of Ararat: and Esar Chaddon his son reigns in his stead.

THE HEALING OF YECHIZQI YAH
In those days Yechizqi Yah is sick unto death: and Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos comes to him and says to him, Thus says Yah Veh, You, misvah concerning your house: for you die and live not. ² And Yechizqi Yah turns his face toward the wall, and prays to Yah Veh, ³ and says, Remember, I beseech; O Yah Veh, I beseech you, how I walked at your face in truth and with a heart of shalom, and worked what is good in your eyes. - and Yechizqi Yah weeps with great weeping. ⁴ And the word of Yah Veh comes to Yesha Yah, saying, ⁵ Go, and say to Yechizqi Yah, Thus says Yah Veh, Elohim of David your father, I hear your prayer; I see your tears: behold, I add to your days fifteen years: ⁶ and I rescue you and this city from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur; and I garrison this city: ⁷ and this is a sign to you from Yah Veh, that Yah Veh works this word he worded: ⁸ Behold, I turn back the shadow of the degrees which descends in the sun dial of Ach Az ten degrees backward. - thus the sun turns back ten degrees, by which degrees it had descended.

²¹ For Yesha Yah says, Let them bear a lump of figs and massage it on the ulcer, and live. ²² And Yechizqi Yah says, What is the sign that I ascend to the house of Yah Veh?

¹
THE VISITORS FROM BABEL
At that time Merodach Bel Adoni the son of Bel Adoni sovereign of Babel, sends scrolls and an offering to Yechizqi Yah: for he hears he is sick - and strengthens. ² And Yechizqi Yah cheers over them, and they see the house of his spicery - the silver and the gold and the spices and the good ointment and all the house of his instruments and all they find in his treasures: there is no word in his house and in all his reign that Yechizqi Yah has them not see. ³ Then Yesha Yah the prophet comes to sovereign Yechizqi Yah, and says to him, What say these men? and, Whence come they to you? And Yechizqi Yah says, They come to me from a land afar - from Babel. ⁴ And he says, What saw they in your house? And Yechizqi Yah says, All that is in my house they saw: there is no word among my treasures that I had them not see. ⁵ And Yesha Yah says to Yechizqi Yah, Hear the word of Yah Veh Sabaoth: ⁶ Behold, days come, that all that is in your house, and what your fathers treasured until this day, is lifted to Babel: no word remains, says Yah Veh. ⁷ And of your sons who issue from you, whom you birthed, they take away to become eunuchs in the manse of the sovereign of Babel. ⁸ And Yechizqi Yah says to Yesha Yah, Good is the word of Yah Veh which you speak. and he says, For shalom and truth become in my days.

² Word to the heart of Yeru Shalem and call out to her that her hostility is fulfilled - that her perversity is satisfied: for she takes double of the hand of Yah Veh for all her sins.

¹³ Who gauges the Spirit of Yah Veh? Or as his councilman makes known to him?

¹⁰ awe not; for I am with you: look not around; for I am your Elohim: I strengthen you; yes, I help you; yes, I uphold you with the right of my justness.

⁸ I - Yah Veh: that is my name: and I neither give my honor to another, nor my halal to sculptiles.

⁸ Neither fear, nor frighten: Heard you not ever since, what I told you? You are my witnesses. Is there an Elohah except me? Yes, there is no rock; I know none. 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?

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?

¹¹ and Yah Veh guides you continually and satisfies your soul in parch and fattens your bones: and you become as a saturated garden and as a spring of water whose waters fail not.

⁷ all the flocks of Qedar gather to you; the rams of Nebayoth minister to you: they ascend with pleasure on my sacrifice altar and I adorn the house of my adornment. ⁸ Who are these, flying as a cloud and as the doves to their windows? ⁹ Surely the islands await me; and the ships of Tarshish first to bring your sons from afar - their silver and their gold with them to the name of Yah Veh your Elohim, and to the Holy One of Yisra El, because he adorns you.

¹⁶ and I word my judgments against them touching all their evil - in that they forsake me and incense to other elohim, and prostrate to the works of their own hands.

³ for the statutes of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree from the forest - the work of the hands of the engraver with the ax:

⁹ They bring expanded silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz - the work of the engraver and of the hands of the refiner: blue and purple is their robe: they are all the work of wise.

¹¹ Thus you say to them, The elah who made not the heavens and the earth destructs from the earth and from under these heavens. ¹² He worked the earth by his force; he established the world by his wisdom; and spread the heavens by his discernment.

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.

⁵ Thus says Yah Veh; Cursed be the mighty who confide in humanity; who set flesh as his arm; who turns his heart from Yah Veh.

¹⁸ Michah Yah the Moreshethiy was prophesying in the days of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah; and said to all the people of Yah Hudah, saying, Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth; Siyon becomes a plowed field; and Yeru Shalem becomes heaps; and the mountain of the house as the bamahs of a forest. ¹⁹ Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah - and all Yah Hudah in deathifying, deathified he him? Feared he not Yah Veh and stroked the face of Yah Veh - and Yah Veh sighed of the evil he worded against them? And we work great evil against our souls.

³⁰ for the sons of Yisra El and the sons of Yah Hudah surely work evil in my eyes from their youth: for the sons of Yisra El surely vex me with the work of their hands - an oracle of Yah Veh.

⁴ And so be it, Sidqi Yah the sovereign of Yah Hudah and all the men of war see them, and they flee, and go from the city by night by the way of the garden of the sovereign by the portal between the two walls: and he goes the way of the plain.

² Son of humanity, say to the eminent of Sor, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Because your heart is haughty, and you say, I - El; I sit in the seat of Elohim, in the heart of the seas. - yet you are human, and not El, though you give your heart as the heart of Elohim:

⁵ by your great wisdom and by your merchandise you abound your valuables; and you lift your heart because of your valuables.

¹⁷ your heart is haughty because of your beauty; you ruin your wisdom because of your splendor: I cast you to the earth; I give you at the face of sovereigns so that they see you:

¹⁵ Now behold, if you are prepared, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery and symphonia and all species of psalming, you fall down and prostrate to the image I made - and behold, if you prostrate not, at that same blink you are hurled midst a burning fiery furnace! Who is that Elah who liberates you from my hands?

²⁸ Nebukadnets Tsar answers and says, Blessed - Elah of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed Nego who sent his angel to liberate his servants who attend him; and changes the utterance of the sovereign; and gives their bodies that they neither serve nor prostrate to any elah except their own Elah.

³⁰ the sovereign answers and says, Is not this great Babel, which I built, for the house of the sovereigndom by the empowerment of my power, and for the esteem of my majesty?

³⁷ Now I, Nebukadnets Tsar, laud and exalt and esteem the Sovereign of the heavens all whose acts are truth, and his ways plead: and they who walk in arrogance, he is able to abase.

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

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.

²² My Elah sent his angel, and shut the mouths of the lions that they not despoil me: because, in front of him, purity is found in me; and also in front of you, O sovereign, I did no wickedness.

¹⁹ and says, O man desired, awe not; shalom to you: be strong; yes, be strong. And when he words to me, I strengthen, and say, My adoni, word; for you strengthened me.

⁷ and I mercy the house of Yah Hudah, and save them by Yah Veh their Elohim; and save them not by bow, or by sword, or by war, by horses, or by cavalry.

⁵ Cast your calf, O Shomeron; my wrath kindles against them: how long ere they are capable of innocency? ⁶ For even of Yisra El: the engraver works it; and it is not of Elohim: for the calf of Shomeron shatters.

⁵ He returns not to the land of Misrayim, and the Ashshuri is his sovereign - because they refuse to return:

² Take with you words, and turn to Yah Veh: say to him, Bear all perversity and take the goodly: thus we shalam the bulllocks of our lips.

¹³ You, settler of Lachish, yoke the chariot to the stallion; she is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Siyon - for all the rebellions of Yisra El found in you.

¹³ The separater ascends at their face: they separate and pass through the portal; yes, they go through it: and their sovereign passes at their face, and Yah Veh at their head.

⁴ Behold, one swells up! his soul within is not straight: and the just lives by his trustworthiness.

⁹ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: Strengthen your hands you, who in these days, hear these words by the mouth of the prophets, of the day of founding the house of Yah Veh Sabaoth, to build the manse.

²³ Thus says Yah Veh Sabaoth: In those days, so be it, ten men from all tongues of the goyim, take hold - even take hold of the wing of a man - a Yah Hudiy, saying, We go with you: for we hear that Elohim is with you.

⁹ and I bring the third through the fire and refine them as the refining of silver, and proof them as the proofing of gold: they call on my name, and I answer them: I say, My people: and they say, Yah Veh, My Elohim.

² And who measures the day of his coming? And who stands when he is seen? - for he is as the fire of a refiner and as the soap of a fullers: ³ and he sits as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he purifies the sons of Levi and purges them as gold and silver, so that they bring near an offering in justness to Yah Veh.

¹¹ And they enter the house, and see the young child with Miryam his mother, and fall and worship him: and they open their treasures and offer him oblations - gold and frankincense and myrrh.

⁴⁹
THE COMPLETION/SHALOM OF THE EON
So be it at the completion/shalom of the eon: the angels come and set the evil apart from among the just ⁵⁰ and cast them into the furnace of fire: there becomes wailing and gnashing of teeth.

⁴³ He confides in Elohim; have him rescue him now - if he wills: for he says, I am the Son of Elohim.

⁵¹
SHOMERONIYM RECEIVE NOT YAH SHUA
And so be it, when the day fulfills/shalams to take him, he establishes his face to go to Yeru Shalem;

⁵³ and they receive him not, because his face is as though he goes to Yeru Shalem.

¹⁷ And Yah Shua answers, saying, Were there not indeed ten purified? but the nine - where? ¹⁸ None are found who return to give glory to Elohim except this alien:

⁵ I AM the vine, you are the branches: whoever abides in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: for apart from me you can do naught.

²¹ But they do all these to you for sake of my name, because they know not him who sent me.

¹³ However, whenever the Spirit of truth comes, he guides you into all truth: for he speaks not of himself; but whatever he hears, he speaks and he evangelizes you of those to come.

¹⁰ So then Pilatos words to him, Speak you not to me? Know you not that I have authority to stake you, and I have authority to release you? ¹¹ Yah Shua answers, You have no authority at all against me, unless given you from above: so whoever delivered me to you has the greater sin.

²³ And immediately an angel of Yah Veh smites him because he gives not Elohim the glory: and he becomes eaten of maggots and expires:

¹⁰ because I AM with you: and no one puts on you to vilify you because I have much people in this city.

²⁶ moreover you observe and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but throughout nearly all Asia, this Paulos convinces and removes a vast multitude; wording that no elohim becomes through hands:

³¹
NINE QUESTIONS, DIRECT AND RHETORICAL
So what say we to these? If Elohim is for us, who is against us?

³⁴ For who knows the Spirit of Yah Veh? Or who is his counselor?

⁴ So, concerning the eating of idol sacrifices, we know that an idol is naught in the cosmos and that there is no other Elohim except one.

⁷
THE THORN OF PAULOS
And lest I be superciliously exalted through the excellence of the apocalypses, I was given a thorn in the flesh - an angel of Satan to punch me, lest I be superciliously exalted. ^{Numbers 33:55, Joshua 23:13, Judges 2:3, Ezekiel El 28:24, Nahum 1:10}

¹⁰ For now, convince I humanity? Or Elohim? Or seek I to please humanity? For if I yet please humanity, I am never ever the servant of Messiah.

¹⁰ Finally, my brothers, be dynamized in Adonay and in the power of his might.

⁵ that Adonay direct your hearts to the love of Elohim and to the endurance of the Messiah. ⁶ Not a neophyte: lest being inflated he falls into the judgment of Diabolos:

¹⁷
WARNING THE RICH
Evangelize them who are rich in this eon, that they neither be highminded nor hope in uncertain riches - but in the living Elohim who presents us richly to enjoy all; ¹⁸ to work good, to enrich in good works, to share well, to commune;

¹ ENDURING HARDSHIP
\ul0 So my son, dynamize in the charism in Messiah Yah Shua.

¹⁷ And Adonay stood by me and dynamized me; to fully bear the preaching through me; and that all the goyim hear: and I was rescued from the mouth of the lion:

²² Adonay Yah Shua Messiah be with your spirit. Charism be with you. Amen.

²² But you come to Mount Siyon to the city of the living Elohim - the Yeru Shalem of the heavenlies and to myriads of angels,

¹³ Word not, when tested, Because I am tested of Elohim: for Elohim is neither tested with evil nor tests anyone:

¹⁰ humble yourselves in the sight of Yah Veh and he exalts you.

⁷ that the proofing of your trust: being much more precious than gold that destructs: though being proofed through fire be found unto halal and honor and glory at the apocalypse of Yah Shua Messiah:

⁵ Likewise, younger: subjugate yourselves to the elder. Yes, all subjugate to one another and enrobe with humblemindedness: because Elohim opposes the proud and gives charism to the humble. ⁶ So humble yourselves under the powerful hand of Elohim, so that he exalts you in season:

⁴ You are of Elohim, little children and triumph over them: because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the cosmos.

¹⁵ And the sovereigns of the earth and the magistrates and the rich and the chiliarchs and the able and all the servants and all the liberated secrete themselves in the grottos and in the rocks of the mountains: ¹⁶ and word to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us and secrete us from the face of him sitting on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb:

⁶ And he opens his mouth in blasphemy against Elohim - to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them who tabernacle in the heavens.

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.
