³ Thy wife, like a fruitful vine, within the recesses of thy house,––Thy children, like plantings of olive–trees, round about thy table. ⁴ Lo! thus, shall be blessed the man who revereth Yahweh. ⁵ Yahweh will bless thee, out of Zion,––and behold thou the welfare of Jerusalem, all the days of thy life! ⁶ And behold thou thy children’s children,––Prosperity on Israel!

⁶ Lo! we heard of it at Ephrathah, we found it in the fields of the wood.

¹⁰ Only by pride, doth one cause contention, but, with the well–advised, is wisdom.

¹ Every, wise woman, buildeth up her house, but, a foolish one, with her own hands, would break it down.

²² Who hath found a wife, hath found a blessing, and hath obtained favour from Yahweh.

²⁴ A man having [many] friends, shall come to ruin, but there is a loving one, who sticketh closer than a brother.

¹⁴ House and substance, are an inheritance from one’s fathers, but, from Yahweh, cometh a wife who is prudent.

¹⁰ A virtuous woman, who can find? for, far beyond corals, is her worth. ¹¹ The heart of her husband, trusteth her, and, gain, he shall not lack:

²³ Known in the gates, is her husband, when he sitteth, with the elders of the land:

² That I may take in attestation, faithful witnesses,––even Uriah the priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah. ³ Then approached I unto the prophetess, and she conceived, and bare a son,––and Yahweh said unto me, Call his name Maher–shalal–hash–baz.

¹ But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse,––And, a sprout, from his roots, shall bear fruit;

¹ But there shall come forth a shoot from the stock of Jesse,––And, a sprout, from his roots, shall bear fruit; ² And the spirit of Yahweh shall rest, upon him,––The spirit of wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The spirit of knowledge, and reverence of Yahweh; ³ So will he find fragrance, in the reverence of Yahweh, And not, by the sight of his eyes, will he judge, Nor, by the hearing of his ears, will he decide; ⁴ But he will judge, with righteousness, them who are poor, And decide, with equity! for the oppressed of the land,––And he will smite the land with the sceptre of his mouth, And, with the breath of his lips, will he slay the lawless one;

⁴ Even, unto old age, I, am, the same, And, unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden,––I, have made, and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden and will deliver.

¹⁹ Then had been, like the sand, thy seed, And, the offspring of thy body, like the grains thereof,––Neither cut off nor destroyed, had been his name from before me.

¹ Ho! every one that thirsteth! Come ye to the waters, Yea he that hath no money,––Come ye––buy corn, and eat, Yea come––buy corn, without money, And, without price, wine and milk.

⁷ Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee, saying,––Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption, to buy it. ⁸ So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh, into the guard–court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee, my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption,––buy it for thyself. So I knew, that, the word of Yahweh, it was. ⁹ And I bought the field, from Hanameel son of mine uncle, that was in Anathoth,––and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver; ¹⁰ and I wrote in the scroll, and sealed it, and took in attestation, witnesses,––and weighed the silver in the balances. ¹¹ Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed––the title and the conditions––and that which was open; ¹² and gave the scroll of purchase, unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses, who subscribed the scroll of purchase,––in the sight of all the Jews, who were sitting in the guard–court.

²⁵ Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver, And take in attestation, witnesses,––Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!

¹⁴ Elders, from the gates, have ceased. Young men, from their music.

² So I secured her to me, for fifteen pieces of silver,––and a homer of barley, and a half–homer of barley;

¹² When Jacob fled to the country of Syria, then Israel served for a wife, and, for a wife, he watched over a flock.

¹⁰ They hate the man who, in the gate, rebuketh,––and, him who speaketh truthfully, they abhor. ¹¹ Therefore––because ye have trampled on the poor, and, the gift of corn, ye would take away from him, though, houses of hewn stone, ye have built, Yet shall ye not dwell in them,––Though, delightful vineyards, ye have planted, Yet shall ye not drink the wine of them. ¹² For I know how numerous are your transgressions, and how surpassing your sins,––ye adversaries of the righteous! ye acceptors of a bribe! Even the needy in the gate, have they turned away!

¹⁵ Hate wrong, and love right, and station, Justice, in the gate,––Peradventure, Yahweh, God of hosts, will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

² Thou, therefore, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though, little, to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee, shall Mine come forth, to be ruler in Israel,––whose comings forth, have been from of old, from the days of age–past time.

⁶ Ho! ho! flee ye, therefore, out of the land of the North, urgeth Yahweh. For, as the four winds of the heavens, have I spread you abroad, declareth Yahweh.

² And it shall come to pass, in that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will cut off the names of idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more,––Moreover also, even the prophets and the spirit of impurity, will I cause to pass away out of the land.

¹⁴ Yet ye say, For what cause? Because, Yahweh, hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, with whom, thou, hast dealt treacherously, though, she, was thy consort, and thy covenant wife.

³ And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram;

³ And Judah begat Perez and Zarah of Tamah, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram; ⁴ And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon;

⁴ And Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nashon, and Nashon begat Salmon; ⁵ And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;

⁵ And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse;

⁵ And Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse; ⁶ And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;

⁶ And Jesse begat David the King. And David begat Solomon of her [that had been the wife] of Uriah;

⁶ And Jesse begat David the King.

¹⁸ Now the birth, of [Jesus] Christ, was, thus: His mother Mary having been betrothed to Joseph,––before they came together, she was found with child by [the] Holy Spirit. ¹⁹ Moreover, Joseph her husband, being, righteous, and yet unwilling to expose her,––intended, privately, to divorce her. ²⁰ But, when, these things, he had pondered, lo! a messenger of the Lord, by dream, appeared to him, saying,––Joseph, son of David! do not fear to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for, that which, in her, hath been begotten, is of [the], Holy, Spirit.

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.

²⁴ saying––Teacher! Moses, said, If any man die not having children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

⁵⁸ And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.

⁵⁸ And her neighbours and kinsfolk heard, that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her. ⁵⁹ And it came to pass, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child, and were calling it, after the name of its father, Zachariah. ⁶⁰ And his mother, answering, said––Nay! but he shall be called, John. ⁶¹ And they said unto her––There is, no one from among thy kindred, who is called by this name! ⁶² And they began making signs unto his father, as to what he might be wishing it to be called. ⁶³ And, asking for a small tablet, he wrote, saying––John, is his name! and they marveled all.

³¹ of Melea, of Menna, of Mattatha,––of Natham, of David: ³² of Jesse, of Obed, of Boaz,––of Salmon, of Nashon: ³³ of Amminadab, of Arni, of Hezron,––of Perez, of Judah:

²⁸ saying––Teacher! Moses, wrote for us, If one’s brother die, having a wife, and, he, be, childless, that his brother shall take the wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

¹² And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes; and, coming upon him, they caught him away, and led him into the high–council.

¹⁵ Rejoice with them that rejoice, weep with them that weep:

¹⁷ Unto no one, evil for evil rendering: providing honourable things before all men:

²⁶ And, whether one member, suffereth, all the members, suffer with it, or, a member is glorified, all the members, rejoice together.

²¹ For we provide things honourable, not only before [the] Lord, but also before men.

²⁵ Ye husbands, be loving your wives, even as, the Christ also, loved the assembly, and delivered, himself, up in her behalf,

⁸ For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are dignified, whatsoever things are righteous, whatsoever things are chaste, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report,––if there be any virtue, and if any praise, the same, be taking into account;

¹⁸ In everything, give thanks,––for, this, is a thing willed of God, in Christ Jesus, towards you:

³ We are bound, to be giving thanks, unto God, continually, concerning you, brethren, even as it is, meet; because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the love of each one of you all one to another aboundeth,

⁴ Let marriage be honourable in all, and the bed undefiled, for, fornicators and adulterers, God, will judge.
