16 I have spoken these things to you that no cause of michshol (stumbling, falling) may trip you up.
2 They will put you under the cherem ban in the shuls. A sha’ah (hour, time) is coming when everyone who kills you will suppose they are offering avodas kodesh to Hashem. [YESHAYAH 66:5]
3 And these things they will do because they did not have da’as of HaAv or of me.
4 But these things I have spoken to you, that, when the sha’ah of these things comes, you might have zikaron (remembrance) of these things, that I told you. But I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I am going to the One who sent me. And none of you asks me, Where are you going?
6 But because I have spoken these things to you, agmat nefesh (grief) has filled your levavot (heart).
7 But I tell HaEmes (the truth), it is better for you that I go away. For if I do not go away, the Melitz Yosher (Praklit, Advocate, Counselor, Helper in Court) will not come to you. But if go, I will send Him (the Ruach Hakodesh) to you.
8 And having come, that one will expose and convict the Olam Hazeh concerning Chet and concerning Tzedek and concerning Mishpat:
9 Concerning Chet (Sin), because they do not have emunah in me;
10 Concerning Tzedek [DANIEL 9:24] because I go to HaAv and no longer do you see me;
11 And concerning Mishpat (Judgment) because the Sar HaOlam Hazeh has been judged.
12 Yet many things I have to tell you, but you are not able to bear them now.
13 But when that One has come, the Ruach Hakodesh, the Ruach HaEmes, He will guide you in all truth. [TEHILLIM 25:5] For He will not speak on His own authority, but what things He will hear, He will speak, and the things that are to come He will announce to you.
14 That One will give kavod to me, because He will receive of what is mine, and will announce it to you.
15 All things which HaAv has are mine; therefore, I said that of mine He receives and will announce it to you.
16 A little time and you no longer see me. And again a little time, and you will see me.
17 Therefore, some of the talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to one another, What is this which he says to us? A little time and you do not see me. And, again, A little time and you will see me? And, Because I go to HaAv ?
18 Therefore, they were saying, What is this, which he says, A little time? We do not have da’as of what he says.
19 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach knew that they were wanting to ask him. And he said to them, About this you inquire of one another that I said, A little time and you do not see me. And, again, a little time and you will see me?
20 Omein, omein, I say to you, that there will be bechi (weeping) and avelut (mourning), but the Olam Hazeh will have simcha. You will have agmat nefesh, but your agmat nefesh (grief) will become simcha [TEHILLIM 30:6 (5)]
21 The isha (woman) when she gives birth, has agmat nefesh (grief), [YESHAYAH 13:8; 21:3; 26:17; MICHOH 4:9; HOSHEA 13:13] because the sha’ah (hour, time) of her has come. But when she gives birth to the yeled, she no longer has zikaron of the Tribulation because of the naches that an ish was born into the Olam Hazeh.
22 Therefore, you have agmat nefesh (grief) now, [YIRMEYAH 31:12] but again I will see you, and your levavot will have rejoicing [YESHAYAH 66:14 TARGUM HASHIVIM] and the simcha of you no one takes from you.
23 And on that day you will not ask me anything. Omein, omein, I say to you, whatever you ask HaAv b’Shem of me, He will give it to you.
24 Until now you did not ask anything b’Shem of me. Ask and you will receive that the simcha of you may be shleimah.
25 Regarding these things I have spoken figuratively. [TEHILLIM 78:2; YECHEZKEL 20:49] A sha’ah comes when no longer I will speak figuratively to you, but will announce plainly to you concerning HaAv.
26 On that day b’Shem of me you will ask, and I do not say to you that I will ask HaAv concerning you.
27 For HaAv Himself has ahavah for you, because you have ahavah for me and have emunah that I came forth from HaAv.
28 I came from HaAv and I have come into the Olam Hazeh. Again I leave the Olam Hazeh and go to HaAv.
29 The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach say, Hinei, see now you speak plainly and no longer figuratively do you speak.
30 Now we know that you have da’as of all things, and you have no need that any test you with any she’elah (question). By this we have emunah that you came forth from Hashem. [1Kg 17:24]
31 He answered them, Do you have emunah?
32 Hinei a sha’ah (hour, time) is coming and has come, that you are SCATTERED [ZECHARYAH 13:7] each one to his own home, and you leave me alone, but I am not alone, because HaAv is with me.
33 These things I have spoken to you that in me you may have shalom. In the Olam Hazeh you have tribulation; but have lev same’ach. I have conquered the Olam Hazeh.
13 A ben chacham heareth his musar av, but a scoffer heareth not ge’arah (scolding, rebuke).
2 An ish shall eat tov by the fruit of his peh (mouth), but the nefesh of the bogedim (unfaithful ones, traitors) shall eat chamas.
3 He that is shomer over his peh (mouth) guards his nefesh, but he that openeth wide his sfatayim (lips) shall have ruin.
4 The nefesh of the atzel (sluggard, lazy one) desireth, and hath nothing, but the nefesh of the kharutzim (diligent ones) shall have ample provision.
5 A tzaddik hateth sheker, but a wicked man is shamefully loathsome, and bringeth disgrace.
6 Tzedakah is guard over him whose derech is blameless, but wickedness overthroweth the chattat (sinner).
7 There is one who maketh himself out to be rich, yet hath nothing; there is one that maketh himself out to be poor, yet hath hon rav (great wealth).
8 The riches of an ish is kofer (ransom) for his nefesh (life), but the poor heareth no threat.
9 The ohr (light) of the tzaddik rejoiceth, but the ner (lamp) of the resha’im (wicked) shall be put out.
10 By zadon (pride) cometh only contention, but with the teachable is chochmah.
11 Hon (wealth) gotten by dishonesty shall be diminished, but he that gathereth incrementally shall have an increment.
12 Hope deferred maketh the lev sick, but when the ta’avah (desire) cometh, it is an Etz Chayyim (Tree of Life).
13 He who despiseth the davar shall be destroyed, but he that feareth the mitzvah shall be rewarded.
14 The torat chacham (teaching of the wise) is a makor chayyim (fountain of life), to turn one away from the snares of mavet.
15 Seichel tov giveth favor, but the derech bogedim (way of traitors) is hard.
16 Every prudent man acts with da’as, but a kesil (fool) displays his folly.
17 A malach rasha falleth into rah (trouble), but a tzir emunim (trustworthy envoy) is marpeh (healing).
18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that disdains musar, but he that is shomer over tokhakhat (reproof) shall be honored.
19 The ta’avah (desire, longing) fulfilled is sweet to the nefesh, but it is to’evat kesilim (the abomination of fools) to depart from rah.
20 He that walketh with chachamim shall be wise, but a companion of kesilim (fools) shall come to harm.
21 Ra’ah (disaster) pursueth chatta’im (sinners), but tov is the reward of the tzaddikim.
22 A tov (good man) leaveth an inheritance to his bnei banim, and the wealth of the choteh (sinner) is laid up for the tzaddik.
23 Rav ochel (much food) is in the untilled ground of the poor, but for want of mishpat (justice) it is swept away.
24 He that spareth his shevet (rod) hateth bno (his son), but he that loveth him is diligent in his musar (discipline).
25 The tzaddik (righteous) eateth to the satisfying of his nefesh (soul), but the beten (stomach) of the resha’im shall want.
6 Yeladim, obey your horim (parents) in Adoneinu, for this is right. [MISHLE 6:20]
2 KABED ES AVICHA V’ES IMMECHA [SHEMOT 20:12; DEVARIM 5:16], (which is the mitzvah harishonah with a havtacha),
3 That it may be well with you and you will be a long time on ha’aretz.
4 And, Avot, do not provoke your yeladim to ka’as, but nurture them in the musar of Hashem and His tokhechah (reproof). [BERESHIS 18:19; DEVARIM 6:7; MISHLE 13:24; 22:6]
5 Avadim (servants), serve with mishma’at (obedience) your adonim according to the basar B’YIR’AH ("with fear") and BIRA’DAH ("with trembling") [TEHILLIM 2:11] with your levavot of erlichkeit (sincerity) as to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,
6 Not with eye service as men-pleasers, being mehaneh (pleasing) to Bnei Adam, but as avadim (servants) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, doing the ratzon Hashem from your levavot.
7 Render your avodas kodesh service with a lev tov as avadim unto Adoneinu and not unto Bnei Adam,
8 Having da’as that whatever ma’aseh tov each one does, this he will receive back from Hashem, whether he is an eved or a Ben Chorin.
9 And, adonim, do the same things to them, forbearing threatening, having da’as that both their and your Adon is in Shomayim, and ein masso panim im Hashem (there is no partiality with Hashem). [IYOV 31:13,14]
10 For the rest, be continually empowered in the ko’ach of Hashem and in the oz of His gevurah. [TEHILLIM 27:14]
11 Put on the whole armor of Hashem for you to be able to stand against the nechalim (scheming deceitfulness, wiles, evil plots) of Hasatan.
12 Because we are not wrestling against basar vadahm (flesh and blood), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the choshech of the Olam Hazeh, against the kokhot ruchaniyim ra’im (evil spiritual forces) in Shomayim.
13 Therefore, take up the whole armor of Hashem, that you may be able to withstand in the Yom HaRah and, having done all, to stand.
14 Stand, therefore, having girded your waist with HaEmes and having put on the breastplate of Tzedek, [YESHAYAH 11:5; TEHILLIM 132:9; YESHAYAH 59:17]
15 And having put as shoes on your feet that which makes you ready to be a maggid of the Besuras HaGeulah. [YESHAYAH 52:7]
16 With all these things, take up the shield of emunah, by which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of haRah (the Evil one);
17 And take the helmet of yeshu’ah and the cherev of the Ruach Hakodesh, which is the Dvar Hashem. [YESHAYAH 59:17; 49:2]
18 Daven in the Ruach Hakodesh always with all tefillos and techinnah (supplication). To that end keep shomer and always persevere in techinnah (supplication) for the Kadoshim;
19 And for me also, that to me may be given utterance in opening my mouth in boldness to make known the Sod HaBesuras HaGeulah,
20 On behalf of which I am an emissary in chains, that in it I may be bold as it is necessary for me to speak.
21 But that you may also know my affairs, and what I am doing, Tychicus the Ach b’Moshiach and chaver and keli kodesh (minister) who is ne’eman (faithful) in Hashem,
22 Whom I sent to you for this very reason, that you may have da’as of the things concerning us and he may impart chizzuk (strengthening) to your levavot.
23 Drishat Shalom to the Achim b’Moshiach, and ahavah with emunah from Elohim HaAv and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua.
24 Chen v’Chesed Hashem be with all the ones who have ahavah for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu with an incorruptible ahavah.
