⁹ Surely, for me, shall, Coastlands, wait, And the ships of Tarshish, first, To bring in thy sons, from far, Their silver and their gold with them,––Unto the name of Yahweh, thy God, And unto the Holy One of Israel, Because he hath adorned thee. ¹⁰ So shall, the sons of the foreigner, build, thy walls, And, their kings, shall wait upon thee,––For, in my vexation, I smote thee, But, in my favour, have I had compassion upon thee. ¹¹ So shall thy gates be open––continually, Neither day nor night, shall they be shut,––That they may bring unto thee the riches of the nations, And, their kings, be led. ¹² For, the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee, shall perish,––Yea, the nations, shall be, utterly wasted. ¹³ The glory of Lebanon, unto thee, shall come, The fir–tree, the holm–oak, and the sherbin–cedar, together. To adorn the place of my sanctuary, And, the place of my feet, will I make glorious. ¹⁴ Then shall come unto thee, bending low, The sons of them who had humbled thee, Then shall bow down, unto the soles of thy feet, All they who had despised thee; And they shall call thee––The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

¹⁷ At that time, shall they call Jerusalem, The throne of Yahweh, and there shall be gathered unto her all the nations––to the Name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem; and they shall walk no more, after the stubbornness of their own wicked, heart.

¹⁹ O Yahweh, my strength, and my refuge, and my place to fly to, in the day of distress,––Unto thee, shall nations come in, out of the ends of the earth, that they may say––Surely! Falsehood, did our fathers inherit, Vanity, among whom is none that can profit:

¹ Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all the peoples, the races and the tongues who are dwelling in all the earth, Let, your prosperity, abound!

²⁵ Then, Darius the king, wrote to all the peoples, the races, and the tongues who were dwelling in all the earth, Your prosperity abound!

¹⁰ Yet shall the number of the sons of Israel become like the sand of the sea, which can neither he measured, nor numbered,––and it shall come to pass, in the place where it used to be said to them, No people of mine, are ye, it shall be said to them, Sons of a Living God!

¹¹ Then shall many nations, join themselves, unto Yahweh, in that day, and shall become my people,––and I will make my habitation in thy midst, so shalt thou know that, Yahweh of hosts, hath sent me unto thee.

²⁰ Thus, saith Yahweh of hoses,––It shall yet be that there shall come in peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities; ²¹ And the inhabitants of one city, shall go, unto them of another, saying, Let us be going on to pacify the face of Yahweh, and to seek Yahweh of hosts,––I also, will go! ²² So shall enter many peoples, and strong nations, to seek Yahweh of hosts in Jerusalem,––and to pacify the face of Yahweh. ²³ Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, In those days, [it shall be] that ten men out of all the tongues of the nations, shall take hold,––yea take hold of the skirt of every one that is a Jew, saying––We will go with you! For we have heard [that], God, is with you.

¹ Amongst which things, when the ten thousands of the multitude were gathered together, so that they were treading one upon another, he began to be saying, unto his disciples, first––Be keeping yourselves free from the leaven of the Pharisees, the which is, hypocrisy.

³⁶ But be watching in every season, making supplication, that ye may gain full vigour, to escape all these things that are about to be coming to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

¹³ took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and began crying aloud––Hosanna! Blessed is he that is coming in the name of the Lord,––even the King of Israel!

²⁵ For I wish not, ye should be ignorant, brethren, of this sacred secret, lest within yourselves ye be presumptuous, that, a hardening in part, hath befallen Israel, until, the full measure of the nations, shall come in;

⁹ And that, the nations, for mercy should glorify God:––even as it is written––For this cause, will I openly confess unto thee among nations, and, unto thy name, will strike the strings; ¹⁰ And again he saith––Be glad ye nations with his people; ¹¹ And again,––Be giving praise all ye nations unto the Lord, and let all the peoples repeat his praise; ¹² And, again, Isaiah, saith––There shall be the root of Jesse, and he that ariseth to rule nations,––upon, him, shall nations hope.

¹³ For this cause, take up the complete armour of God, in order that ye may receive power to withstand in the evil day, and, all things, having accomplished, to stand!

¹² Wherefore, even from one, were born, and, as to these things, one who had become dead,––like the stars of the heaven, for multitude, and as the sand that is by the lip of the sea, that cannot be numbered.

⁴ Nevertheless, thou hast a few names, in Sardis, which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white, because they are, worthy. ⁵ He that overcometh, shall, thus, array himself in white garments, and in nowise will I blot out his name, from the book of life; and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his messengers.

¹⁸ I counsel thee to buy of me, gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich,––and white raiment, that thou mayest array thyself, and, the shame of thy nakedness, may not be made manifest,––and eye–salve, to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see.

⁴ And, round about the throne, were four and twenty thrones; and, upon the thrones, four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and, upon their heads, [were] crowns of gold.

⁹ and they sing a new song, saying––Worthy, art thou, to take the scroll and to open the seals thereof; because thou wast slain, and didst redeem unto God by thy blood [men] out of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation,

¹¹ And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders,––and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands––

¹¹ And there was given to them, each one, a white robe, and it was bidden them, that they should rest yet a little while––until the number should be made full of their fellow–servants also, and their brethren, who were about to be slain as even, they.

¹³ And one of the elders began, saying unto me––These who are arrayed in white robes, who are they? and whence came they? ¹⁴ And I at once said to him––My lord! thou, knowest! And he said unto me––These, are they who come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb; ¹⁵ For this cause, are they before the throne of God, and are rendering divine service unto him, day and night, in his sanctuary; and he that sitteth upon the throne shall spread his tent over them;

¹⁵ And, the seventh messenger, sounded; and there came to be loud voices in heaven, saying––The kingdom of the world, hath become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign unto the ages of ages.

⁸ To Yahweh, belongeth Salvation! Upon thy people, be thy blessing. [Selah.]

³⁹ But, the deliverance of the righteous, is from Yahweh, their refuge in a time of distress.

¹⁹ Blessed be My Lord! Day by day, he beareth our burden for us, GOD himself, is our salvation. [Selah.] ²⁰ The GOD we have, is a GOD of saving deeds, And, due to Yahweh, My Lord, are escapes from death.

¹ Not unto us, O Yahweh, not unto us,––but, unto thine own Name, give glory, concerning thy lovingkindness, concerning thy faithfulness.

¹¹ I––I, am Yahweh,––And there is none, besides me, ready to save:

¹⁵ Surely, thou, art a GOD utterly hiding thyself,––O God of Israel, able to save!

²¹ Tell ye––and bring near, Yea let them take counsel, together,––Who, let this be known aforetime, In time past, declared it? Was it not, I––Yahweh? And there is none else that is God, besides me, A GOD, righteous and ready to save, There is none, besides, me!

²³ Surely, to falsehood, pertain the hills, The noisy throng on the mountains,––Surely, in Yahweh our God, is the salvation of Israel!

⁴ Yet, I, Yahweh, have been thy God from the land of Egypt,––and, god beside me, shalt thou not acknowledge, for, saviour, is there none besides me.

⁹ But, I, with the voice of praise, will sacrifice unto thee, What I have vowed, I will pay,––Salvation, belongeth to Yahweh!

⁷ Who, art, thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel, [brought down] to a plain! So shall he bring forth the headstone, with thundering shouts Beautiful! Beautiful! thereunto.

⁹ Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion, Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem, Lo! thy king, cometh unto thee, vindicated and victorious, is he,––lowly, and riding upon an ass, yea, upon a colt, a young ass.

⁶ And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

²⁹ On the morrow, he beholdeth Jesus, coming unto him, and saith––See! the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world.

³⁶ and, looking at Jesus walking, he saith––See! the Lamb of God!

²² Ye, worship, that which ye know not; We, worship, that which we know; because, salvation, is, of the Jews.

⁸ For, by his favour, have ye been saved, through means of faith, and this [hath come to pass]––not from you, of God, the free–gift!

² straightway, I came to be in Spirit, and lo! a throne, stood in heaven, and, upon the throne, [was] one sitting; ³ and, he that was sitting, [was] like in appearance to a jasper stone and a sardius, and [there was] a rainbow round about the throne, like in appearance unto an emerald,

⁶ and, before the throne, [is] as a glassy sea, like unto crystal. And, in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, [are] four living creatures full of eyes, before and behind;

⁹ And, whensoever the living creatures shall give glory, and honour, and thanksgiving, unto him that sitteth upon the throne, unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages, ¹⁰ the four and twenty elders will fall down before him that sitteth upon the throne, and do homage unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages,––and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying–– ¹¹ Worthy, art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power: because thou didst create all things, and, by reason of thy will, they were, and were created.

⁷ And he came, and at once took [it] out of the right hand of him that was sitting upon the throne.

¹³ And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying––Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages! ¹⁴ And the four living creatures continued saying––Amen! And, the elders, fell down and did homage.

¹⁰ And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying––Now, hath come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ; because the accuser of our brethren hath been cast out, who was accusing them before our God day and night;

¹ After these things, I heard as it were, a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying––Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power of our God!

⁵ And he that was sitting upon the throne said–– Lo! I make all things, new. And he saith––Write! because, these words, are, faithful and true.

³ And, no curse, shall there be, any more; and, the throne of God and of the Lamb, shall be, therein,––and his servants will render divine service unto him,

¹¹ When the king shall desire thy beauty, Surely, he, is thy lord, then bow down to him.

⁷ Let all who serve an image, be ashamed, They who boast themselves in things of nought, Bow down unto him, all ye gods.

²⁰ Bless Yahweh, ye messengers of his,––Heroes of vigour, doing his word, To hearken [again] to the voice of his word; ²¹ Bless Yahweh, all ye his hosts, Attendants of his, doing his pleasure;

¹ Praise ye Yah, Praise Yahweh, out of the heavens, Praise him, in the heights; ² Praise him, all his messengers, Praise him, all his host;

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written,––The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.

²³ That, all, may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father: he that doth not honour the Son, doth not, in fact, honour the Father who sent him.

⁶ But, whensoever he again introduceth the first–begotten into the habitable earth, he saith––And let all God’s messengers worship him!

¹⁰ the four and twenty elders will fall down before him that sitteth upon the throne, and do homage unto him that liveth unto the ages of ages,––and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying––

¹¹ And I saw, and heard a voice of many messengers, round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders,––and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands–– ¹² saying with a loud voice––Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. ¹³ And, every created thing which was in heaven, and upon the earth, and under the earth, and upon the sea, and, all the things in them, heard I, saying––Unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, unto the ages of ages!

¹⁶ And, the twenty–four elders who, before God, do sit upon their thrones, fell down upon their faces, and rendered homage unto God,

⁴ Who shall in anywise not be put in fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name,––because, alone, full of lovingkindness; because, all the nations, will have come, and will do homage before thee, because, thy righteous deeds, were made manifest?

⁴ And the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures, fell down, and did homage unto God, who sitteth upon the throne, saying––Amen! Hallelujah!
⁵ And, a voice, from the throne, came forth, saying––Be giving praise unto our God, all ye his servants, ye that revere him, the small and the great. ⁶ And I heard as a voice of a great multitude, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of mighty thunderings, saying––Hallelujah! Because the Lord, [our] God, the Almighty, hath become king.

⁹ and he saith unto me––See [thou do it] not! A fellow–servant, am I, of thee, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them who keep the words of this scroll: unto God, do homage.

⁸ And, the Levites, Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, Mattaniah,––over the choirs, he and his brethren;

⁴⁶ For, in the days of David and Asaph, of old, there were chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving, unto God.

¹³ Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From the age that is past, even unto the age yet to come: Amen and Amen!

¹⁴ Sacrifice to God a thankoffering, And pay to the Most High thy vows;

¹⁹ And blessed be his glorious Name, unto times ago–abiding,––And filled with his glory be all the earth, Amen and Amen!

⁵² Blessed be Yahweh to times age–abiding, Amen, and Amen!

² O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.

⁴ Enter ye his gates, with thanksgiving, his courts, with praise, Give ye thanks to him, bless ye his Name;

⁴⁸ Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!

²² Yea let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and recount his works with a shout.

¹⁷ To thee, will I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and, on the Name of Yahweh, will I call:

⁷ Respond to Yahweh with thanksgiving, Make melody to our God with the lyre.

³ For Yahweh hath comforted, Zion, He hath comforted all her waste places, And hath made her wilderness like Eden, And her waste plain like the garden of Yahweh,––Joy and gladness, shall be found in her, Thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.

⁹ So shall she become to me––A name of joy, A praise, and, An adorning, To all the nations of the earth,––Who will hear all the good which I, am doing them, And will dread and be deeply moved, over all the good, and over all the prosperity, which I am causing her.

¹¹ The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, The voice of them who are saying, Praise ye Yahweh of hosts, For good, is Yahweh, For age–abiding, is his lovingkindness, [The voice] of them who are bringing a thank–offering into the house of Yahweh,––For I will bring back the captives of the land, as at the first, Saith Yahweh.

¹³ And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.

¹⁵ For, all things, are for your sakes, in order that, the favour abounding, may, through means of the greater number, cause, the thanksgiving, to superabound unto the glory of God.

¹¹ In every thing, being enriched, unto every kind of liberality,––which, indeed, worketh out, through us, thanksgiving unto God; ¹² Because, the ministry of this public service, is not only towards filling up the deficiencies of the saints, but also superabounding, through the thanksgiving of many, unto God,––

⁷ Rooted, and being built up, in him, and making yourselves sure in your faith, even as ye have been taught,––surpassing therein with thanksgiving.

¹⁷ And whatsoever ye may be doing, in word, or in work, all things, [do] in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks unto the Divine Father through him:––

²⁵ Unto God alone our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, greatness, dominion, and authority, before all the [by–gone] age, and now, and unto all the [coming] ages. Amen!

¹⁸ and the Living One,––and I became dead; ––and lo! living, am I, unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades.

¹² saying with a loud voice––Worthy, is the Lamb that hath been slain, to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

⁴ And the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures, fell down, and did homage unto God, who sitteth upon the throne, saying––Amen! Hallelujah!

⁸ So he said––Hagar! handmaid of Sarai! Whence hast thou come, and whither wouldst thou go? And she said: From the face of Sarai, my lady, am, I, fleeing.

⁶ So the woman came in, and told her husband, saying, A man of God, came unto me, and, his, appearance, was as the appearance of the messenger of God, reverend exceedingly,––and I asked him not whence he was, and, his name, he told me not.

²⁸ Jesus, therefore, cried aloud in the temple, teaching, and saying––Both me, ye know, and ye know whence I am,––and yet, of myself, have I not come, but he is real, who sent me, whom, ye, know not.

⁵ And, one of the elders, saith unto me––Do not weep! Lo! the lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, hath overcome, to open the scroll and the seven seals thereof.

⁹ After these things, I saw, and lo! a great multitude,––which, to number it! no one was able,––of every nation, and [of all] tribes, and peoples, and tongues; standing before the throne, and before the Lamb; arrayed in white robes, and palm–branches in their hands; ––

³ and he cast for it four rings of gold, upon the four feet thereof,––even, two rings, on the one side thereof and, two rings, on the other side thereof;

¹⁸ Come, I pray you, and let us settle the dispute, Saith Yahweh,––Though your sins be found like scarlet, As snow, shall they be made white, Though they appear red like crimson, As wool, shall they become.

³ Now, Joshua, was clothed with filthy garments,––though standing before the messenger. ⁴ Then responded he and spake unto those who were standing before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him; and he said unto him, See! I have caused to pass from off thee, thine iniquity, And will cause thee to be clothed in robes of state. ⁵ Then said I, Let them put a clean turban upon his head,––So they put the clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and, the messenger of Yahweh, was standing up.

¹ In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem,––for sin and for uncleanness.

²¹ For there will be then, Great tribulation, such as hath not happened, from the beginning of the world, until the present time, neither in any wise shall happen.

⁸ Peter saith unto him––In nowise shalt thou, ever, wash my feet. Jesus answered him––If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter saith unto him––Lord! not my feet only, but my hands also, and my head. ¹⁰ Jesus saith unto him––He that hath bathed himself, hath no need [save as to the feet] to get washed; but is pure, as a whole. And, ye, are, pure, but not ye, all. ¹¹ For he know the man that was delivering him up; therefore, said he––Not ye all, are pure. ¹² When, therefore, he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and reclined, again said he unto them––Are ye taking note, what I have done unto you? ¹³ Ye, call me, The Teacher, and, The Lord,––and, well, say, for I am. ¹⁴ If then, I, have washed your feet,––[I] The Lord, and, The Teacher, ye also, ought to wash, one another’s, feet;

³³ These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage,––I, have overcome the world.

²² confirming the souls of the disciples, beseeching them to abide in the faith, and [declaring] that, through many tribulations, must we enter into the kingdom of God.

³ And, not only so, but let us boast also in our tribulations; knowing that, our tribulation, worketh out endurance.

¹¹ And, these things, were some of you; but ye bathed them away,––but ye were sanctified, but ye were justified, in the name of [our] Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.

²⁶ That, her, he might sanctify, having purified [her] with the bath of water, in declaration, ²⁷ That, he, might present, unto himself, the assembly, all glorious, not having spot or wrinkle or any of such things, but that she should be holy and blameless;

⁴ So that, we ourselves, in you, are boasting, in the assemblies of God, over your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which ye are sustaining:––

¹⁴ How much rather shall the blood of the Christ, who through an age–abiding spirit offered himself unspotted unto God, purify our conscience from dead works, to the rendering of divine–service, unto a Living God?

¹² Wherefore, Jesus also, that he might hallow the people through means of his own blood, outside the gate, suffered:

¹⁹ But with precious blood, as of a lamb, unblemished and unspotted, of an Anointed One,––

⁷ Whereas, if, in the light, we are walking, as, he, is in the light, we have, fellowship one with another, and, the blood of Jesus his Son, is cleansing us from all sin.

⁵ and from––Jesus Christ,––The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn of the Dead, and The Ruler of the Kings of the Earth. Unto him that loveth us, and loosed us out of our sins with his blood,––

⁹ I know thy tribulation, and destitution, nevertheless, thou art, rich, and the profane speech from among them who affirm that they themselves are, Jews, and they are not, but a synagogue of Satan.

⁹ And, when he opened the fifth seal, I saw, beneath the altar, the souls of them who had been slain because of the word of God and because of the witness which they held. ¹⁰ And they cried out with a loud voice, saying––How long, O Sovereign, the Holy and True, dost thou not vindicate and avenge our blood from them that dwell upon the earth? ¹¹ And there was given to them, each one, a white robe, and it was bidden them, that they should rest yet a little while––until the number should be made full of their fellow–servants also, and their brethren, who were about to be slain as even, they.

¹¹ And, they, overcame him by reason of the blood of the Lamb, and by reason of their witnessing word, and they loved not their life, even unto death.

² And I saw as a glassy sea mingled with fire, and them who escape victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing upon the glassy sea, having harps of God;

⁶ And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I was astonished, when I beheld her, with great astonishment.

¹⁴ Happy, they who are washing their robes, that their right may be unto the tree of life and, by the gates, they may enter into the city.

⁴⁵ Thus will I make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel,––and will be their God;

¹³ and will make my habitation in the midst of the sons of Israel,––and will not forsake my people Israel.

²⁵ For, said David, Yahweh the God of Israel hath given rest unto his people,––and hath taken up his habitation in Jerusalem, unto times age–abiding;

¹⁶ Wherefore start ye up, ye mountains, ye peaks? The mountain God hath coveted for his habitation, Surely, Yahweh will inhabit it ever! ¹⁷ The chariots of God, are two myriads––thousands repeated, My Lord, is among them, Sinai, is in the sanctuary! ¹⁸ Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led in procession a body of captives, Thou hast received gifts consisting of men, Yea even the rebellious, That, Yah, Elohim, might settle down to rest.

¹ [A Song of Ascents.]
Lo! bless Yahweh, all ye servants of Yahweh, who stand in the house of Yahweh, by night: ² Lift up your hand in holiness, and bless Yahweh.

⁵ Then will Yahweh, create––Over all the home of Mount Zion and, Over her assembly, A cloud by day, and a smoke, And the shining of a fire–flame, by night,––For, over all the glory, shall be a canopy; ⁶ And, a pavilion, shall there be, For a shade by day, from the heat,––and, For a refuge, and for a shelter, from storm and from rain.

¹⁴ And, the Word, became, flesh, and pitched his tent among us, and we gazed upon his glory,––a glory, as an Only–begotten from his Father. Full of favour and truth.

¹⁶ Know ye not that ye are a shrine of God, and that the Spirit of God within you doth dwell?

¹⁶ And what agreement hath a shrine of God with idols? For, we, are [the] shrine of a God, that liveth:––even as God hath said––will dwell in them, and walk, and will be their God, and, they, shall be my people.

¹ A crowning point on the things being spoken:––such a one as this, have we, as high–priest, who hath sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,––

² Looking away unto our faith’s Princely–leader and perfecter, Jesus,––who, in consideration of the joy lying before him, endured a cross, shame, despising! And, on the right hand of the throne of God, hath taken his seat.

¹⁹ And the sanctuary of God which is in heaven, was opened, and the ark of his covenant in his sanctuary, appeared, and there came to be lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

³ And they sing as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures and the elders. And, no one, was able to learn the song, save the hundred and forty–four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth. ⁴ These, are they, who with women, were not defiled, for they are, virgin. These, are they who follow the Lamb whithersoever he is going. These, were redeemed from mankind, as a firstfruit unto God and the Lamb; ⁵ and, in their mouth, was found no falsehood,––faultless, they are.

¹⁰ and, the Adversary that had been deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where [were] both the wild–beast and the false–prophet; and they shall be tormented, day and night, unto the ages of ages.

³ And I heard a loud voice out of the throne, saying––Lo! the tent of God, is with men, and he will tabernacle with them, and, they, shall be, his peoples, and, he, shall be, God with them; ⁴ And he will wipe away every tear out of their eyes,––and, death, shall be no more, and grief and outcry and pain shall be no more: the first things, have passed away.

⁵ And, night, shall be, no more; and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of a sun, because, the Lord, God, will give them light,––and they shall reign unto the ages of ages.

² My soul thirsteth for God, for a GOD who liveth,––When shall I enter in, and see the face of God?

¹ [A Melody of David. When he was in the Wilderness of Judah.]
O God, my GOD, thou art, Earnestly do I desire thee,––My soul thirsteth for thee, My flesh fainteth for thee, In a land––dry, and weary for want of water,––

⁶ By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.

⁶ I have spread out my hands unto thee, My soul, is as a thirsty land, for thee. [Selah.]

⁶ [SHE] Do not look on me, because, I, am so swarthy, because the sun hath scorched me,––My mother’s sons, were angry with me, they set me to keep the vineyards, Mine own vineyard, have I not kept. . . .

⁴ For thou didst become, A refuge to the weak, A refuge to the needy, when distress was upon him,––A shelter from the storm, A shade from the heat, When the blast of tyrants was like a storm against a wall.

² So shall each one become, As a hiding–place from the wind, And a covert from the storm,––As channels of water in a dry place, As the shadow of a massive cliff in a weary land.

¹⁷ As for the oppressed and the needy, Seeking water, when there is, none, Their tongue, with thirst, being parched, I––Yahweh, will answer them, The God of Israel, I will not forsake them:

¹⁰ They shall neither hunger, nor thirst, Nor shall smite, them the glowing sand, or the glaring sun,––For, he that hath compassion upon them, will lead them, And, unto springs of water, will he conduct them.

¹³ Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh,––Lo! my servants, shall eat, but, ye, shall be famished, Lo! my servants, shall drink, but, ye, shall be thirsty,––Lo! my servants, shall rejoice, but, ye, shall turn pale;

⁸ And it came to pass, at the breaking forth of the sun, that God appointed a sultry east wind, and the sun smote upon the head of Jonah, that he became faint,––and asked his life, that he might die, and said, It were better for me, to die, than, to live.

⁶ Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:

⁶ and, the sun arising, it was scorched, and, because it had no root, it withered away;

²¹ yet hath he no root in himself, but is, only for a season,––and, there arising, tribulation or persecution because of the word, straightway, he findeth cause of stumbling.

⁶ and, when the sun arose, it was scorched,––and, by reason of its not having root, it was dried up;

¹⁷ and have no root in themselves, but, only for a season are,––afterwards, when there ariseth tribulation or persecution by reason of the word, straightway, they find cause of stumbling;

⁵³ The hungry, hath he filled with good things, and, the wealthy, hath he sent empty away;

²¹ Happy, ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Happy, ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.

¹⁴ But, whosoever shall drink of the water which, I, will give him, in nowise shall thirst, unto times age–abiding,––but, the water which I will give him, shall become, within him, a fountain of water, springing up unto life age–abiding.

¹¹ For the sun hath sprung up, with it scorching heat, and hath withered the grass, and, the flower thereof, hath fallen out, and, the beauty of the face thereof, hath perished,––so, also the rich, in his goings, shall languish.

⁴ And he will wipe away every tear out of their eyes,––and, death, shall be no more, and grief and outcry and pain shall be no more: the first things, have passed away.

²⁶ The patient wronged–ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.

¹ [A Melody of David.]
Yahweh, is my shepherd––I shall not want: ² In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me;

⁵ Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over.

⁹ Oh save thy people, and bless thine inheritance, Tend them also, and carry them, Unto times age–abiding.

⁸ They abundantly relish the fatness of thy house,––And out of the full stream of thine own pleasures, thou givest them to drink. ⁹ For, with thee, is the fountain of life, In thy light, we see light.

⁷ Tell me, thou loved of my soul! Where wilt thou pasture thy flock? Where wilt thou let them recline at noon? For why should I be as one that wrappeth a veil about her, by the flocks of thy companions? ⁸ [HE] If thou know not of thyself, most beautiful among women! get thee forth in the footsteps of the flock, and pasture thy kids by the huts of the shepherds. . . .

³ Therefore shall ye draw water, with rejoicing,––out of the fountains of salvation.

⁶ Then will Yahweh of hosts prepare, for all the peoples, in this mountain, A banquet of fat things, A banquet of old wines,––Of fat things full of marrow, Of old wines well refined;

⁸ Having swallowed up death itself victoriously, My Lord, Yahweh, will wipe away, tears from off all faces,––And, the reproach of his own people, will he remove from off all the earth, For, Yahweh, hath spoken.

¹⁹ For, a people, In Zion, shall dwell, In Jerusalem,––As for weeping, thou shalt not weep! As for favour, he will grant thee favour, at the sound of thine outcry,––As soon as he heareth, he hath answered thee!

²⁵ Then shall there be, On every lofty mountain, and, On every lifted hill, Channels, Conduits of water,––In the great day of slaughter, When the towers fall.

⁶ Then, shall leap as a hart, the lame, Then, shall shout, the tongue of the dumb, For, there have broken forth––In the desert––waters, And, streams, in, the waste plain: ⁷ Then shall, the glowing sand, become, a lake, And, thirsty ground––springs of water,––In the home of the wild dog––its lair, Shall be an enclosure for cane and paper–reed.

¹⁰ And, the ransomed of Yahweh, shall return, And shall enter Zion with shouting, With gladness age–abiding, upon their head, Joy and gladness, shall overtake [them], And sorrow, and sighing, shall flee away.

¹¹ Like a shepherd, his flock, will he tend, In his own arm, will he take up the lambs, And, in his own bosom, will he carry [them], ––Them which are with young, will he lead to a place of rest.

⁹ Saying To them who are bound, Go forth, To them who are in darkness, Shew yourselves,––By the roads, shall they graze, And, on all bare places, shall be their pasture:

²⁰ No more shall go in, thy sun, Nor, thy moon, withdraw itself,––For, Yahweh, will become to thee, an age–abiding light, So shall be ended, the days of thy mourning.

¹³ For, two wicked things, have my people committed,––Me, have they forsaken, a fountain of living water, To hew out for themselves, cisterns, broken cisterns, that cannot hold water.

⁹ With weeping, shall they come in, And, with supplications, will I lead them, I will bring them unto rivers of waters, By a smooth way, wherein they shall not stumble,––For I have become, to Israel, a father, And, as for Ephraim, my firstborn, is he!

²³ And I will raise up over them one shepherd, And he shall tend them, Even my servant David,––He, will tend them, And, he, will become to them a shepherd;

⁴ Then shall he stand, and tend his flock in the strength of Yahweh, In the excellency of the name of Yahweh his God, have they endured,––For, now, shall he be great unto the ends of the earth;

¹⁴ Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field,––Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age–past times.

⁶ And, thou, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means least, art thou, among the governors of Judah,––For, out of thee, shall one come forth to govern, Who shall shepherd my people Israel.

¹¹ She saith unto him––Sir! not even a bucket, hast thou,––and, the well, is, deep:––Whence, then, hast thou the living water?

³⁷ Now, on the last––the great––day of the feast, Jesus was standing, and he cried aloud, saying––If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink: ³⁸ He that believeth on me––just as said the Scripture,––River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.

¹¹ I, am the good shepherd: The good shepherd, his life, layeth down, for the sheep.

¹⁴ I, am the good shepherd, and know my own, and, my own, know me,––

¹⁵ When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter––Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him––Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him––Be feeding my lambs. ¹⁶ He saith unto him, again, the second time––Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him––Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him––Be shepherding my sheep. ¹⁷ He saith unto him, the third time––Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him––Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him––Be feeding my sheep.

²⁸ Be taking heed unto yourselves, and unto all the little flock in which the Holy Spirit hath set, you, as overseers,––to be shepherding the assembly of God which he hath acquired through means of the blood of his own.

² Shepherd the beloved flock of God, which is among you,––not by compulsion, but by choice, nor yet for base gain, but of a ready mind,––

¹¹ Worthy, art thou, O Lord, and our God, to receive the glory, and the honour, and the power: because thou didst create all things, and, by reason of thy will, they were, and were created.

⁶ And I saw, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb, standing, showing that it had been slain,––having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the [seven] Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

⁶ And he said unto me––Accomplished! I, am the A, and the Z, the Beginning and the End: I, unto him that is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of life, freely:

¹ And he pointed out to me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, issuing forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb,
