Leviticus 26

    ²Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

    ³If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.

    ⁴And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

    ⁵The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.

    ⁶I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.

    ⁷You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.

    ⁸Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

    ⁹I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

    ¹⁰You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

    ¹¹I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.

    ¹²I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.

    ¹³I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.

    ¹⁴But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,

    ¹⁵If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:

    ¹⁶I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

    ¹⁷I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.

    ¹⁸But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,

    ¹⁹And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:

    ²⁰Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

    ²¹If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:

    ²²And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.

    ²³And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:

    ²⁴I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.

    ²⁵And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,

    ²⁶After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.

    ²⁷But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:

    ²⁸I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,

    ²⁹So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.

    ³⁰I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

    ³¹Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.

    ³²And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.

    ³³And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.

    ³⁴Then shell the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be

    ³⁵In the enemy's land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.

    ³⁶And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,

    ³⁷And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.

    ³⁸You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy's land shall consume you.

    ³⁹And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:

    ⁴⁰Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.

    ⁴¹Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies' land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.

    ⁴²And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:

    ⁴³Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.

    ⁴⁴And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.

    ⁴⁵And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord. These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Leviticus 27

    ²Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man that shall have made a vow, and promised his soul to God, shall give the price according to estimation.

    ³If it be a man from twenty years old unto sixty years old, he shall give fifty sides of silver, after the weight of the sanctuary:

    ⁴If a woman, thirty.

    ⁵But from the fifth year until the twentieth, a man shall give twenty sicles: a woman ten.

    ⁶From one month until the fifth year. for a male shall be given five sides: for a female three.

    ⁷A man that is sixty years old or upward, shall give fifteen aisles: a woman ten.

    ⁸If he be poor, and not able to pay tile estimation, he shall stand before tile priest: and as much as he shall value him at, and see him able to pay, so much shall he give.

    ⁹But a beast that may be sacrificed to the Lord, if ally one shall vow, shall be holy,

    ¹⁰And cannot be changed, that is to say, neither a better for a worse, nor a worse for a better. And if he shall change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be consecrated to the Lord.

    ¹¹An unclean beast, which cannot be sacrificed to the Lord, if my man shall vow, shall be brought before the priest:

    ¹²Who judging whether it be good or bad, shall set the price:

    ¹³Which if he that offereth it will give, he shall add above the estimation the fifth part.

    ¹⁴If a man shall vow his house, and sanctify it to the Lord, the priest shall consider it, whether it be good or bad, and it shall be sold according to the price, which he shall appoint.

    ¹⁵But if he that vowed, will redeem it, he shall give the fifth part of the estimation over and above, and shall have the house.

    ¹⁶And if he vow the field of his possession, and consecrate it to the Lord, the price shall be rated according to the measure of the seed. If the ground be sowed with thirty bushels of barley, let it be sold for fifty sides of silver.

    ¹⁷If he vow his field immediately from the year of jubilee that is beginning, as much as it may be worth, at so much it shall be rated.

    ¹⁸But if some time after, the priest shall reckon the money according to the number of years that remain until the jubilee, and the price shall be abated.

    ¹⁹And if he that had vowed, will redeem his field, he shall add the fifth part of the money of the estimation, and shall possess it.

    ²⁰And if he will not redeem it, but it be sold to any other man, he that vowed it, may not redeem it any more:

    ²¹For when the day of jubilee cometh, it shall be sanctified to the Lord, and as a possession consecrated, pertaineth to the right of the priests.

    ²²If a field that was bought, and not of a man's ancestors' possession, be sanctified to the Lord,

    ²³The priest shall reckon the price according to the number of years: unto the jubilee: and he that had vowed, shall give that to the Lord.

    ²⁴But in the jubilee, it shall return to the former owner, who had sold it, and had it in the lot of his possession.

    ²⁵All estimation shall be made according to the side of the sanctuary. A sicle hath twenty obols.

    ²⁶The firstborn, which belong to the Lord, no man may sanctify and vow: whether it be bullock, or sheep, they are the Lord's.

    ²⁷And if it be an unclean beast, he that offereth it shall redeem it, according to thy estimation, and shall add the fifth part of the price. If he will not redeem it, it shall be sold to another for how much soever it was estimated by thee.

    ²⁸Any thing that is devoted to the Lord, whether it be man, or beast, or field, shall not be sold, neither may it be redeemed. Whatsoever is once consecrated shall be holy of holies to the Lord.

    ²⁹And any consecration that is offered by man, shall not be redeemed, but dying shall die.

    ³⁰All tithes of the land, whether of corn, or of the fruits of trees, are the Lord's, and are sanctified to him.

    ³¹And if any man will redeem his tithes, he shall add the fifth part of them.

    ³²Of all the tithes of oxen, and sheep, and goats, that pass under the shepherd's rod, every tenth that cometh shall be sanctified to the Lord.

    ³³It shall not be chosen neither good nor bad, neither shall it be changed for another. If any man change it: both that which was changed, and that for which it was changed, shall be sanctified to the Lord, and shall not be redeemed.

    ³⁴These are the precepts which the Lord commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

Mark 2

    ²And it was heard that he was in the house, and many came together, so that there was no room; no, not even at the door; and he spoke to them the word.

    ³And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried by four.

    ⁴And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was; and opening it, they let down the bed wherein the man sick of the palsy lay.

    ⁵And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

    ⁶And there were some of the scribes sitting there, and thinking in their hearts:

    ⁷Why doth this man speak thus? he blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, but God only?

    ⁸Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit, that they so thought within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your hearts?

    ⁹Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed, and walk?

    ¹⁰But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

    ¹¹I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

    ¹²And immediately he arose; and taking up his bed, went his way in the sight of all; so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We never saw the like.

    ¹³And he went forth again to the sea side; and all the multitude came to him, and he taught them.

    ¹⁴And when he was passing by, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And rising up, he followed him.

    ¹⁵And it came to pass, that as he sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they were many, who also followed him.

    ¹⁶And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with publicans and sinners, said to his disiples: Why doth your master eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

    ¹⁷Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, but sinners.

    ¹⁸And the disiples of John and the Pharisees used to fast; and they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?

    ¹⁹And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

    ²⁰But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days.

    ²¹No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent.

    ²²And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.

    ²³And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward, and to pluck the ears of corn.

    ²⁴And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

    ²⁵And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he had need, and was hungry himself, and they that were with him?

    ²⁶How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave to them who were with him?

    ²⁷And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.

    ²⁸Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.
