²³
THE RICH AND THE SOVEREIGNDOM
So Yah Shua says to his disciples, Amen! I word to you, That a rich man difficultly enters the sovereigndom of the heavens.

¹⁰ And so be it, when Yah Veh your Elohim brings you into the land he oathed to your fathers - to Abraham, to Yischaq and to Yaaqov, to give you great and goodly cities which you built not, ¹¹ and houses full of all goods which you filled not and hewn wells which you hewed not, vineyards and olive trees which you planted not; and eat and satiate; ¹² then guard, lest you forget Yah Veh, who brought you from the land of Misrayim, from the house of servants.

¹⁰ And when you eat and satiate, bless Yah Veh your Elohim for the good land he gives you. ¹¹ Guard that you not forget Yah Veh your Elohim, by not guarding his misvoth and his judgments and his statutes which I misvah you this day: 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: ¹⁵ who carried you through that great and awesome wilderness of seraph serpents and scorpions and thirst - where there was no water: who brought water from the rock of flint; 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.

²⁴ If I set gold my hope or said to the ore, My confidence! ²⁵ if I cheer because my valuables are great and because my hand found much;

⁶ They who confide in their valuables - in the abundance of their riches halal themselves. ⁷ In redeeming, man neither redeems his brother, nor gives Elohim a koper/an atonement for him;

¹⁶ Awe not when man enriches - when the honor of his house abounds: ¹⁷ for when he dies he takes naught; his honor descends not after him. ¹⁸ For while he lives he blesses his soul; and they spread hands to you when you well-please yourself. ¹⁹ He goes to the generation of his fathers; never to see light in perpetuity.

²⁸ He who confides in his riches, falls; and the just blossom as a leaf.

⁸ vanity and words of lies, remove far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches; tear my statute bread for me; ⁹ - lest I satiate and deny you and say, Who is Yah Veh? Or lest I become dispossessed and steal and take the name of my Elohim.

²⁰ For I word to you, That unless ever your justness superabounds much more than the scribes and Pharisees, you no way enter the sovereigndom of the heavens.

²² And that spored in the thorns is whoever hears the word: and the anxiety of this eon and the deceitfulness of riches strangle the word; and he becomes unfruitful.

³ and says, Amen! I word to you, Unless you turn and become as little children, you never no way enter the sovereigndom of the heavens.

³¹ Which of the two does the will of his father? They word to him, The first. Yah Shua speaks to them, Amen! I word to you, That the customs agents and the whores precede you into the sovereigndom of Elohim.

YAH SHUA AND RICHES
And Yah Shua looks around and words to his disciples, How difficultly they who have riches enter the sovereigndom of Elohim!

¹⁵ And he says to them, See, and guard against avarice: for the life of one is not in the super abundance of his holdings. ¹⁶ And he words a parable to them, speaking, The region of a rich human bears well: ¹⁷ and he reasons within himself, wording, What do I? - because I have no room to gather my fruits. ¹⁸ And he says, I do this: I pull down my granaries and build greater; and there gather all my produce and my goods: ¹⁹ and say to my soul, Soul, you have vast goods laid for many years; Rest! Eat! Drink! Rejoice! ²⁰ And Elohim says to him, Thoughtless! This night your soul is required of you: so whose are those that you prepared? ²¹ Thus is he who treasures for himself, and is not rich toward Elohim.

¹³ No housekeeper can serve two adonim: for either he hates the one and loves the other; or else he upholds the one and disesteems the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon. ¹⁴ And the Pharisees who befriend silver also hear all these: and they sneer at him.

YAH SHUA ON THE RICH HUMAN AND EL AZAR
A rich human clothed in purple and white linen rejoices radiantly daily: ²⁰ and a beggar named El Azar is cast at his gate - ulcerous; ²¹ and panting to be filled with the crumbs which fall from the table of the rich man: but even the dogs come and lick his ulcers. ²² And so be it, the beggar dies, and is borne by the angels to the bosom of Abraham: the rich man also dies and is entombed; ²³ and in sheol/hades, being in torments, he lifts his eyes, and sees Abraham afar off and El Azar in his bosom. ²⁴ And he voices out and says, Father Abraham, mercy me, and send El Azar to baptize the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I grieve in this flame. ²⁵ But Abraham says, Child, remember that you in your life took your good; and El Azar likewise evil: and now he consoles and you grieve: ²⁶ and beside all this, between us and you, a mega chasm is established: so that whoever wills neither can pass through from hence to you; nor can they pass through to us from there. ²⁷ And he says, So I ask you, father, to send him to the house of my father: ²⁸ for I have five brothers - to throroughly witness to them lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁴ And Yah Shua sees that he becomes exceeding sorrowful; and he says, How difficultly they who have riches enter the sovereigndom of Elohim!

³ Yah Shua answers him, saying, Amen! Amen! I word to you, Unless one is birthed from above, he cannot see the sovereigndom of Elohim.

⁵ Yah Shua answers, Amen! Amen! I word to you, Unless one is birthed of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter the sovereigndom of Elohim:

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, and beseeching them to remain in the trust; and that we must through much tribulation enter the sovereigndom of Elohim.

²⁶ For you see your calling brothers, how that not many wise after the flesh, not many able, not many well-birthed:

⁹ And whoever wills to be rich falls into testing and a snare; and into many mindless and injurious pantings, which sink humanity in ruin and destruction. ¹⁰ For befriending silver is the root of all evil: which, while some reach for, strayed from the trust and pierced themselves through with many griefs.

⁹ But the brother of humbleness boasts in his exaltation; ¹⁰ and the rich in his humiliation: because he passes as the blossom of the herbage. ¹¹ For the sun rises with a scorch and withers the grass; and the blossom falls and destructs the befittingness of its face: thus also the rich fades in his ways.

⁶ But you dishonor the poor. Is it not the rich who overpower you? And drag you to the judgment?

TREASURING TREASURES
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries coming upon you. ² Your riches putrefy and your garments become motheaten: ³ your gold and silver rust; and their rust becomes a witness against you to consume your flesh as fire. You treasured in the final days. ⁴ Behold, the hire of the workers who ingathered your regions - whom you cheated, cries out: and the cries of them who harvest enter the ears of Yah Veh Sabaoth.
