1 The vision of Yeshayahu son of Amots, which he saw concerning Yahuḏah and Yerushalayim in the days of Uzziyahu, Yotham, Aḥaz, Ḥizqiyahu - sovereigns of Yahuḏah.
2 Hear, O shamayim, and listen, O earth! For hWhY has spoken, “I have reared and brought up children, but they have transgressed against Me.
3 An ox knows its owner and a donkey its master’s crib - Yisra’ĕl does not know, My people have not understood.”
4 Alas, sinning nation, a people loaded with wickedness, a seed of evil-doers, sons acting corruptly! They have forsaken hWhY, they have provoked the Qadosh One of Yisra’ĕl, they went backward.
5 Why should you be beaten any more? You continue in apostasy! All the head is sick, and all the heart faints.
6 From the sole of the foot, to the head, there is no soundness in it - wounds and bruises and open sores; they have not been closed or bound up, or soothed with ointment.
7 Your land is laid waste, your cities are burned with fire, strangers devour your land in your presence. And it is laid waste, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Tsiyon is left as a booth in a vineyard, as a hut in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.
9 Unless hWhY of hosts had left to us a small remnant, we would have become like Seḏom, we would have been made like Amorah.
10 Hear the word of hWhY, you rulers of Seḏom; give ear to the Torah of our Elohim, you people of Amorah!
11 “Of what use to Me are your many slaughterings?” declares hWhY. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, or of lambs or goats.
12 “When you come to appear before Me, who has required this from your hand, to trample My courtyards?
13 “Stop bringing futile offerings, incense, it is an abomination to Me. New Moons, Shabbathoth, the calling of meetings - I am unable to bear unrighteousness and assembly.
14 “My being hates your new moons and your appointed times, they are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them.
15 “And when you spread out your hands, I hide My eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I do not hear. Your hands have become filled with blood.
16 “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Stop doing evil!
17 “Learn to do good! Seek Right-Ruling, reprove the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 “Come now, and let us reason together,” says hWhY. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 “If you submit and obey, you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured by the sword,” for the mouth of hWhY has spoken.
21 How the steadfast city has become a whore! I have filled it with Right-Ruling; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine is mixed with water.
23 Your rulers are stubborn, and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes, and runs after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow reach them.
24 Therefore the Aḏon declares, hWhY of hosts, Almighty of Yisra’ĕl, “Ah, I shall be eased of My adversaries, and I shall be avenged of My enemies.
25 “And I shall turn My hand against you, and shall refine your dross as with lye, and shall remove all your alloy.
26 “And I shall give back your judges as at the first, and your counsellors as at the beginning. After this you shall be called the city of righteousness, a steadfast city.”
27 Tsiyon shall be ransomed with right-ruling, and her returning ones with righteousness.
28 And the destruction of transgressors and of sinners is together, and those who forsake hWhY shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the terebinth trees which you have desired. And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades, and as a garden that has no water.
31 The strong shall be for tow, and his work for a spark. And both shall burn together, with no one to extinguish.

Chapter 2
1 My son, if you come to serve HWHY, Prepare your being for trial.
2 Prepare your heart, and constantly endure, And do not hasten in time of trouble.
3 Cling to Him, and do not depart, That you may be increased at your latter end.
4 Whatsoever is brought upon you, accept cheerfully, And be patient when you are brought low.
5 For gold is tried in the fire, And acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
6 Believe in Him, and He shall help you; Establish your way, and trust in Him.
7 You who revere HWHY, wait for His kindness; And do not turn aside, lest you fall.
8 You who revere HWHY, believe Him; And your reward shall not fail.
9 You who revere HWHY, have expectancy for good, And for everlasting joy and kindness.
10 Look at the generations of old and see; Did any ever trust in HWHY, and were put to shame? Or did any remain in His reverence, and were forsaken? Or whom did He ever despise, that called upon Him?
11 For HWHY is full of compassion and kindness, Patient, and very tender-hearted, and forgives sins, And saves in time of affliction.
12 Woe unto fearful hearts, and faint hands, And the sinner that goes two ways!
13 Woe unto he who is fainthearted! For he is unbelieving; Therefore he shall not be defended.
14 Woe unto you that have lost patience! And what shall you do when HWHY shall punish you?
15 Those who HWHY shall not disobey His Word; And those who love Him guard His Ways.
16 Those who revere HWHY seek that which is well pleasing to Him; And those who love Him shall be filled with the Torah.
17 Those who revere prepare HWHY their hearts, And humble their beings in His sight,
18 Saying, “We shall fall into the hands of HWHY, and not into the hands of men; For as His excellence is, so is His kindness.”

40 To chief singer. A psalm of Dawiḏ.
1 I waited for hWhY; And He inclined to me, and heard my cry.
2 And He drew me Out of the pit of destruction, Out of the muddy clay, And He put my feet upon a rock, He is establishing my steps.
3 Then He put a new song in my mouth; Praise to our Alohym; Many see and revere, And trust in hWhY.
4 Baruḵ is that man who has made HWHY his trust, And has not turned to the proud, And those turning aside to falsehood.
5 O hWhY my Alohym, many are the wonders Which You have done, and Your purposes toward us; There is no one to compare with You; I declare and speak: They are too many to be numbered.
6 Slaughtering and meal offering You did not desire? But a body You have prepared for Me; Burnt offering and sin offering You did not ask for?
7 Then I said, “See, I have come; In the scroll of the Book it is prescribed for me.
8 I have delighted to do Your pleasure, O my Alohym, And Your Torah is within my inward parts.”
9 I have proclaimed the Good News of righteousness, In the great assembly; See, I do not restrain my lips, O hWhY, You know.
10 I did not conceal Your righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your trustworthiness and Your deliverance; I did not hide Your kindness and Your truth From the great assembly.
11 Do not withhold Your compassion from me, O hWhY; Let Your kindness and Your truth always watch over me.
12 For evils without number have surrounded me; My wickednesses have overtaken me, And I have been unable to see; They became more than the hairs of my head; And my heart has failed me.
13 Be pleased, O hWhY, to deliver me; O hWhY, hasten to help me!
14 Let those who seek to destroy my life Be ashamed and abashed altogether; Let those who are desiring my evil Be driven back and put to shame.
15 Let those who say to me, “Aha, aha!” Be appalled at their own shame.
16 Let all those who seek You Rejoice and be glad in You; Let those who love Your deliverance always say, “hWhY be exalted!”
17 But I am poor and needy; Let hWhY think upon me. You are my help and my deliverer; O my Alohym, do not delay!

Psalm 40

5 But when He saw the crowds, He went up on a mountain. And when He was seated His talmidim came to Him.
2 And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 “Baruḵ are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.
4 “Baruḵ are those who mourn, because they shall be comforted.
5 “Baruḵ are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Baruḵ are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be filled.
7 “Baruḵ are the compassionate, because they shall obtain compassion.
8 “Baruḵ are the clean in heart, because they shall see hWhY.
9 “Baruḵ are the peacemakers, because they shall be called sons of hWhY.
10 “Baruḵ are those persecuted for righteousness’ sake, because theirs is the reign of the shamayim.
11 “Baruḵ are you when they reproach and persecute you, and falsely say every wicked word against you, for My sake.
12 “Rejoice and be glad, because your reward in the shamayim is great. For in this way they persecuted the neḇi’im who were before you.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how shall it be seasoned? For it is no longer of any use but to be thrown out and to be trodden down by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. It is impossible for a city to be hidden on a mountain.
15 “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house.
16 “Let your light so shine before men, so that they see your good works and praise your Father who is in the shamayim.
17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Neḇi’im. I did not come to destroy but to complete.
18 “For truly, I say to you, till the shamayim and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.
19 “Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these Commands, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the reign of the shamayim; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the reign of the shamayim.
20 “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the reign of the shamayim.
21 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,’ and whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.
22 “But I say to you that whoever is wroth with his brother without a cause shall be liable to judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raka!’ shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to fire of Gĕy-Hinnom.
23 “If, then, you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother holds whatever against you,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first make peace with your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 “Be well-minded with your opponent, promptly, while you are on the way with him, lest your opponent deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be thrown into prison.
26 “Truly, I say to you, you shall by no means get out of there till you have paid the last quarter.
27 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 “And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.
30 “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than for your entire body to be thrown into Gĕy-Hinnom.
31 “And it has been said, ‘Whoever puts away his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’
32 “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the matter of whoring, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries a woman who has been put away commits adultery.
33 “Again, you heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to hWhY.’
34 “But I say to you, do not swear falsely at all, neither by the shamayim, because it is hWhY’s throne;
35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Yerushalayim, for it is the city of the great Sovereign;
36 nor swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
37 “But let your word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ And what goes beyond these is from the wicked one.
38 “You heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth,’
39 but I say to you, do not resist the wicked. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
40 “And he who wants to sue you and take away your inner garment, let him have your outer garment as well.
41 “And whoever compels you to go one miliyon, go with him two.
42 “Give to him who asks of you, and from him who wants to borrow from you, do not turn away.
43 “You heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.’
44 “But I say to you, love your enemies, baraḵ those cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those insulting you and persecuting you,
45 so that you become sons of your Father in the shamayim. Because He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 “For if you love those loving you, what reward have you? Are the tax collectors not doing the same too?
47 “And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more? Are the tax collectors not doing so too?
48 “Therefore, be perfect, as your Father in the shamayim is perfect.

MATTIHYAHU

Matthew 5

2 Therefore, O man, you are without excuse, everyone who judges, for in which you judge another you condemn yourself, since you who judge practice the same.

2 And we know that the judgment of hWhY is according to truth against those who practice such.

3 And do you think, O man, you who judge those practicing such, and doing the same, that you shall escape the judgment of hWhY?

4 Or do you despise the riches of His kindness, and tolerance, and patience, not knowing that the kindness of hWhY leads you to repentance?

5 But according to your hardness and your unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of hWhY,

6 who “shall render to each one according to his works”:

7 everlasting ḥai to those who by persistence in good work seek for esteem, and respect, and incorruptibility;

8 but wrath and displeasure to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness;

9 affliction and distress on every human being working what is evil, of the Yahuḏi first, and also of the Yawanite;

10 but esteem, respect, and peace to everyone working what is good, to the Yahuḏi first and also to the Yawanite.

11 For there is no partiality with hWhY.
