39 Forsooth of jacinth, and purple, vermilion, and bis, he made [the] clothes in which Aaron was clothed, when he ministered in [the] holy things, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (And they made out of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and fine linen, the clothes in which Aaron was clothed, when he served in the Holy Place, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
2 Therefore he made the cloak on the shoulders of gold, jacinth, and purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, and of bis folded again, by work of embroidery; (And so they made the ephod out of gold, and jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and finely woven linen, and embroidered it;)
3 also he cut (up) thin golden plates, and made (them very) thin into threads, that those may be folded again, with the warp of the former colours; (and they cut up thin gold plates, and made them into very thin threads, to be woven into the warp of the other colours;)
4 and he made twain hems coupled to themselves together, in ever either side of the ends; (and they made two shoulder straps, fastened in the front, and behind, to the top edges of the ephod, to secure it;)
5 and he made a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (and they made the waistband out of the same things, and joined it to the ephod to form one piece, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
6 And he made ready two onyx stones, bound and closed in gold, and graved by the craft of a worker in gems with the names of the sons of Israel; (And they prepared two onyx stones, bound and enclosed in gold, and engraved by the craft of a worker in gems with the names of the sons of Israel;)
7 six names in one stone, and six in the tother stone, by the order of their birth. And he set those stones in the side(s) of the cloak on the shoulders, into a memorial of the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (six names on one stone, and six on the other stone, in their birth order. And they fastened those stones onto the two shoulder straps of the ephod, as a reminder of the twelve tribes of Israel, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
8 He made also the rational, by work of embroidery, by the work of the cloak on the shoulders, of gold, jacinth, purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and of bis folded again; (And they made the breast-piece, like the ephod, out of gold, and jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and finely woven linen, and embroidered it;)
9 he made the rational four-cornered, double, of the measure of four fingers. (and they made the breast-piece square, and folded over double, measuring four fingers thick.)
10 And he set therein four orders of gems; in the first order was sardius, topaz, smaragdus; (And they fastened four rows of gems to it; in the first row was sardius, topaz, and emerald;)
11 in the second order was carbuncle, sapphire, jasper; (in the second row was carbuncle, sapphire, and jasper;)
12 in the third order was ligure, agate, amethyst; (in the third row was ligure, agate, and amethyst;)
13 in the fourth order was crystallite, onyx, and beryl; compassed and enclosed with gold, by their orders. (and in the fourth row was crystallite, onyx, and beryl; all encompassed and enclosed in gold, in their proper order.)
14 And those twelve stones were graven with [the] twelve names of the lineages of Israel, all the stones by themselves, by the names of all the lineages by themselves. (And those twelve stones were engraved with the twelve names of the sons of Israel, each of the stones had the name of one of the sons, representing the twelve tribes of Israel.)
15 They made also in the rational, little chains, cleaving to themselves together, of purest gold, (And for the breast-piece, they made little chains out of pure gold, that were twisted like ropes,)
16 and twain hooks, and so many rings of gold. (and two gold hooks, and two gold rings.)
17 Forsooth they setted the rings on ever either side of the rational, (And they fastened the rings to the upper corners of the breast-piece,)
18 on which rings [the] two golden chains hanged, which they setted in the hooks, that stood forth in the corners of the cloak on the shoulders. (and they joined the two gold chains to the rings, and then joined the other ends of the chains to the two hooks, which they fastened to the upper part of the front of the two shoulder straps of the ephod.)
19 These accorded so to themselves, both before and behind, (so) that the cloak on the shoulders, and the rational, (And they made two gold rings, which they fastened to the lower corners of the breast-piece, by the hem of the ephod, so that they were opposite each other;)
20 were knitted together, and fastened to the girdle, (and two gold rings, which they fastened to the lower part of the front of the two shoulder straps of the ephod, near the seam, and above the waistband.)
21 and coupled full strongly with the rings, which rings a lace of jacinth joined together, lest they were loosed, and slacked, and were moved (away) each from (the) other; as the Lord commanded to Moses. (And then the breast-piece was bound by its rings to the rings of the ephod, with a lace of jacinth, so that the joining would stay secure, and the breast-piece and the ephod would not separate from each other; all as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
22 They made also a coat on the shoulders, or alb, all of jacinth; (And they made the robe, or the alb, out of jacinth,)
23 and the hood, or the amice, in the higher part, about the midst, and a woven hem, by the compass of the hood; (with a hole in the middle for the head, and with a woven hem all around it, so that it would not tear;)
24 forsooth beneath at the feet they made pineapples of jacinth, and purple, and vermilion, and bis folded again; (and on the lower hem they put pomegranates made out of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and finely woven linen;)
25 and they made little bells of purest gold, which they setted betwixt the pomegranates, in the hem of the alb, by compass; (and they made little bells out of pure gold, which they put between the pomegranates, all around the hem of the robe;)
26 a golden little bell, and a pineapple; with which the bishop went adorned, when he was set in service, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (a little gold bell, and a pomegranate, and another little gold bell, and a pomegranate, and so on, all around the hem; with which the High Priest went adorned, when he was ministering, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
27 They made also coats of bis, (that is, linen clothes,) by woven work, to Aaron and to his sons, (And they made finely woven linen shirts, or tunics, for Aaron and his sons,)
28 and mitres with small crowns of bis, and linen clothes of bis; (and the turban, and the peaked caps, out of fine linen, and breeches out of finely woven linen;)
29 forsooth they made a girdle of bis folded again, of jacinth, purple, and vermilion, parted by (the) craft of embroidery, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (and they made sashes out of finely woven linen, and jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and embroidered them, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
30 They made also a plate of holy worshipping, of purest gold, and they wrote therein by the craft of a graver in gems, The Holy of the Lord. (And they made the plate of holy dedication, or of consecration, out of pure gold, and they wrote on it by the craft of an engraver of gems, Holy to the Lord.)
31 And they bound it with the mitre by a lace of jacinth, as the Lord commanded to Moses. (And they fastened it to the turban with a lace of jacinth, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
32 Therefore all the work of the tabernacle, and the covering of the witnessing, was performed; and the sons of Israel did all things which the Lord commanded to Moses. (And so all the work for the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, and the tent, and the coverings, was finished; and the Israelites did all the things which the Lord commanded to Moses.)
33 And they offered the tabernacle (to Moses), and the roof, and all the purtenance(s), rings, boards, bars, and pillars, and the bases; (And they brought the Tabernacle to Moses, and the tent, and all its purtenances, yea, the rings, the boards, the bars, and the pillars, and the bases;)
34 the covering of skins of rams made red, and another covering of skins of jacinth; the veil, (the covering made out of red rams’ skins, and the other covering made out of blue skins; the Veil,)
35 the ark, the bars, and the propitiatory; (the Ark, that is, the Box for the tablets of the Law, and its bars, and the propitiatory, that is, the mercy seat, or the lid for the Box;)
36 the board with (its) vessels, and with the loaves of setting forth; (the table, and its vessels, and the loaves of proposition, or the showbread;)
37 the candlestick, lanterns, and the purtenances of those, with [the] oil; (the lamp-stand, its lanterns, and its purtenances, and the oil;)
38 the golden altar, and the ointment, and [the] incense of sweet smelling spiceries; and the curtain in the entering of the tabernacle; (the gold altar, and the ointment, and the incense of sweet smelling spices; and the curtain for the entrance to the Tabernacle;)
39 the brazen altar, [the] griddle, bars, and all the vessels thereof; the great washing vessel, with his foundament; (the bronze altar, its griddle, its bars, and all its vessels; the great washing vessel, and its foundation, or its base;)
40 the curtains of the great entry, and the pillars with their bases; the curtain in the entering of the great porch, and the cords, and the stakes thereof. Nothing of the vessels failed, that was commanded to be made into [the] service of the tabernacle, and into the roof of the bond of peace. (the curtains for the courtyard, with its pillars, and their bases; the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard, and its cords, and its pegs. And also all the vessels that were commanded to be made for use in the Tabernacle of the Covenant, that is, the Tabernacle of the Witnessing.)
41 Also the sons of Israel offered the clothes which the priests, that is, Aaron and his sons, use in the saintuary, (And the Israelites also offered the clothes which the priests, that is, Aaron and his sons, were to use in the sanctuary,)
42 as the Lord commanded (to Moses).
43 And after that Moses saw all those things fulfilled, he blessed them. (And after that Moses had seen all of those things that were made, he blessed them.)
18 When Jesus had said these things, he went out with his disciples over the strand of Cedron, where was a yard, or a garden, into which he entered, and his disciples.
2 And Judas, that betrayed him, knew the place, for oft Jesus came thither with his disciples.
3 Therefore when Judas had taken a company of knights, and ministers of the bishops and of the Pharisees, he came thither with lanterns, and brands, and arms.
4 And so Jesus witting all things that were to come on him, went forth, and said to them, Whom seek ye?
5 They answered to him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them, I am. And Judas that betrayed him, stood with them.
6 And when he said to them, I am, they went aback, and fell down on the earth.
7 And again he asked them, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
8 He answered to them, I said to you, that I am; therefore if ye seek me, suffer ye these to go away.
9 That the word which he said should be fulfilled, For I lost not any of them, which thou hast given to me.
10 Therefore Simon Peter had a sword, and drew it out [Therefore Simon Peter having a sword, drew it out], and smote the servant of the bishop, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.
11 Therefore Jesus said to Peter, Put thou thy sword into thy sheath [Send thou the sword into the sheath]; wilt thou not, that I drink the cup, that my Father gave to me?
12 Therefore the company of knights, and the tribune, and the ministers of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him,
13 and led him first to Annas [and led him to Annas first]; for he was [the] father of Caiaphas' wife, that was bishop of that year.
14 And it was Caiaphas, that gave counsel to the Jews, that it speedeth, that one man die for the people.
15 But Simon Peter followed Jesus, and another disciple; and that disciple was known to the bishop. And he entered [in] with Jesus, into the hall of the bishop;
16 but Peter stood at the door withoutforth. Therefore that other disciple, that was known to the bishop, went out, and said to the woman that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
17 And the damsel, keeper of the door, said to Peter, Whether thou art also of this man's disciples? He said, I am not.
18 And the servants and [the] ministers stood at the coals, for it was cold, and they warmed them(selves); and Peter was with them, standing and warming him(self).
19 And the bishop asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his teaching.
20 Jesus answered to him, I have spoken openly to the world; I taught evermore in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews came together, and in huddles I spake nothing[a].
21 What askest thou me? ask them that heard me, what I have spoken to them; lo! they know, what things I have said.
22 When he had said these things, one of the ministers standing nigh, gave a buffet to Jesus, and said [saying], Answerest thou so to the bishop?
23 Jesus answered to him, If I have spoken evil, bear thou witnessing of evil; but if I said well, why smitest thou me?
24 And Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas, the bishop.
25 And Simon Peter stood, and warmed him(self); and they said to him [therefore they said to him], Whether also thou art his disciple? He denied, and said, I am not.
26 One of the bishop's servants, cousin of him, whose ear Peter cut off, said, Saw I thee not in the yard with him [said, Whether I saw not thee in the garden with him]?
27 And Peter again denied, and at once [and anon] the cock crew.
28 Then they led Jesus to Caiaphas (from Caiaphas), into the moot hall; and it was early, and they entered not into the moot hall, that they should not be defouled, but that they should eat pask.
29 Therefore Pilate went out withoutforth to them, and said, What accusing bring ye against this man?
30 They answered, and said to him, If this were not a misdoer, we had not betaken him to thee.
31 Then Pilate saith to them, Take ye him, and deem ye him, after your law. And the Jews said to him [Therefore they said to him], It is not leaveful to us to slay any man;
32 that the word of Jesus should be fulfilled, which he said, signifying by what death he should die.
33 Therefore again Pilate entered into the moot hall, and called Jesus, and said to him, Art thou king of Jews?
34 Jesus answered, and said to him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or others have said to thee of me [Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or others said to thee of me]?
35 Pilate answered, Whether I am a Jew? Thy folk and the bishops betook thee to me; what hast thou done?
36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my ministers would strive, that I should not be taken to the Jews; but now my kingdom is not here [now forsooth my kingdom is not of hence].
37 And so Pilate said to him, Then art thou a king? Jesus answered, Thou sayest, that I am a king. To this thing I am born, and to this I came into the world, to bear witnessing to truth [and to this I came into the world, that I bear witnessing to truth]. Each [man] that is of truth, heareth my voice.
38 Pilate saith to him, What is truth? And when he had said this thing, again he went out to the Jews, and said to them, I find no cause in him [I find no cause against him].
39 But it is a custom to you, that I deliver one to you in pask; therefore will ye that I deliver to you the king of Jews? [Forsooth it is a custom to you, that I let go, or deliver, one to you in pask; therefore will ye that I dismiss to you the king of Jews?]
40 All they cried again, and said [saying], Not this, but Barabbas. And Barabbas was a thief.
15 A soft answer breaketh ire; an hard word raiseth strong vengeance.
2 The tongue of wise men honoureth knowing (The speaking of the wise honoureth knowledge); the mouth of fools boileth out folly.
3 In each place the eyes of the Lord behold good men, and evil men.
4 A pleasant tongue is the tree of life; but the tongue that is unmeasurable, (or unable to be checked,) shall defoul the spirit.
5 A fool scorneth the teaching of his father; but he that keepeth blamings (but he who receiveth rebukes), shall be made wiser. Most virtue shall be in plenteous rightfulness; but the thoughts of wicked men shall be drawn up by the root.
6 (In) The house of a just man is full great strength; and troubling is in the fruits of a wicked man. (In the house of the righteous is very great wealth; and trouble is in the fruits of the wicked.)
7 The lips of wise men shall sow abroad knowing (The lips of the wise sow abroad knowledge); (but) the heart(s) of fools shall be unlike (them, that is, they shall be full of ignorance).
8 The sacrifices of wicked men be abominable to the Lord; the avows of just men be pleasant. (The sacrifices of the wicked be abominable to the Lord; but the vows of the righteous be pleasing to him.)
9 The life of the unpious man is (an) abomination to the Lord; he that followeth rightfulness, shall be loved of the Lord. (The life of an evil person is an abomination to the Lord; but he who followeth righteousness, shall be loved by the Lord.)
10 Evil teaching is of men that forsake the way of life; he that hateth blamings shall die. (Evil teaching is from those who abandon the way of life; he who hateth rebukes shall die.)
11 Hell and perdition be open before the Lord; how much more the hearts of [the] sons (and daughters) of men.
12 A man full of pestilence loveth not him that reproveth him; and he goeth not to wise men.
13 A joyful heart maketh glad the face; (but) the spirit is cast down in the mourning of (the) soul.
14 The heart of a wise man seeketh teaching; and the mouth of fools is fed with unknowing, (or with ignorance).
15 All the days of a poor man be evil; a secure soul is a continual feast. (All the days of the poor be evil; the life of a secure soul is a continual feast.)
16 Better is a little with the dread of the Lord, than many treasures and unfillable. (Better is a little with the fear of the Lord/with reverence for the Lord, than many treasures and troubles.)
17 It is better to be called to worts with charity, than with hatred to a calf made fat. (It is better to be warmly, or cordially, called to herbs, or vegetables, than to be hatefully invited to share a fattened calf.)
18 A wrathful man raiseth chidings; he that is patient, assuageth chidings that were raised.
19 The way of slow men is as an hedge of thorns; the way of just men is without [thing of] hurting. (A lazy person’s way is a hedge of thorns; but the way of the righteous is without a cause of stumbling.)
20 A wise son maketh glad his father; but a fond man despiseth his mother. (A wise son maketh his father happy; but a fool despiseth his mother.)
21 Folly is joy to a fool; but a prudent man shall (ad)dress his steps. (Foolishness bringeth joy to a fool; but a prudent person shall direct his steps.)
22 Thoughts be destroyed, where no counsel is; but where many counsellors be, they be confirmed. (Plans come to naught, where there is no wise advice; but where there be many counsellors, the plans succeed.)
23 A man is glad in the sentence of his mouth; and a covenable word is best (but a suitable word is always best).
24 The path of life is on a learned man; that he bow away from the last hell. (The path of life leadeth upward for the learned; yea, so that they turn away from Sheol, or the land of the dead/so that they turn away from hell, which is below.)
25 The Lord shall destroy the house of proud men; and he shall make steadfast the coasts of a widow. (The Lord shall destroy the house of the proud; but he shall make firm the property lines, or the boundary stones, of a widow.)
26 Evil thoughts is abomination of the Lord; and a clean word most fair shall be made steadfast of him. (Evil thoughts be an abomination to the Lord; but a most fair, and clean, word is his delight.)
27 He that followeth avarice, troubleth his house; but he that hateth gifts shall live (long). Sins be purged by mercy and faith; each man boweth away from evil by the dread of the Lord (Sins be cleansed by love and faith; all can turn away from evil by the fear of the Lord/with reverence for the Lord).
28 The soul of a just man bethinketh obedience; the mouth of wicked men is full of evils. (The righteous think before that they answer; but the ready reply of the wicked is usually full of evil.)
29 The Lord is far from wicked men; and he shall hear the prayers of just men. (The Lord is far from the wicked; but he shall hear the prayers of the righteous.)
30 The light of (the) eyes maketh glad the soul; good fame maketh fat the bones. (Sparkling eyes make a person happy; good news fatteneth up the bones.)
31 The ear that heareth the blamings of life, shall dwell in the midst of wise men. (The person who listeneth to rebukes, shall live in the midst of the wise.)
32 He that casteth away chastising, despiseth his soul; but he that assenteth to blamings, is a peaceable holder of the heart (He who casteth away discipline, despiseth his own soul; but he who accepteth rebukes, shall become wiser.)
33 The dread of the Lord is teaching of wisdom; and meekness goeth before glory. (The fear of the Lord/Reverence for the Lord is the teaching of wisdom; and humility goeth before honour.)
2 Therefore if any comfort is in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing [if any entrails of mercy doing],
2 fill ye my joy, that ye understand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing; [fulfill ye my joy, that ye understand the same thing, having the same charity, of one will, feeling the same thing;]
3 nothing by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher than himself;[a]
4 not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men. [not each by themselves beholding what things be their own, but those things that be of others.]
5 And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;
6 which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God; [which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, himself to be even to God;]
7 but he lowed himself [but he meeked himself], taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,
8 and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death[b], yea, to the death of the cross.
9 For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name; [For which thing and God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all names;]
10 that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things, [and] of earthly things, and of hell's;
11 and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
12 Therefore, my most dear-worthy brethren [my most dear-worthy], as evermore ye have obeyed, not in my presence only, but much more now in mine absence, work ye with dread and trembling your health.
13 For it is God that worketh in you, both to will [both to desire], and to perform, for good will.
14 And do ye all things without grumblings and doubtings; [Forsooth do ye all things without grutchings and doubtings;]
15 that ye be without plaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a depraved nation [in the middle of a shrewd nation] and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world [among whom ye shine as givers of light in the world;].
16 And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain. [holding together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither in vain travailed.]
17 But though I be offered, or slain, on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all. [But and if I be offered, or slain, upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and together thank you all.]
18 And for the same thing have ye joy, and thank ye me. [The same thing forsooth and ye have joy, and together thank me.]
19 And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you [Forsooth I hope in the Lord Jesus, me to send Timothy soon to you], that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.
20 For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.
21 For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.
22 But know ye the assay of him [Forsooth know ye the experiment, or assay, of him], for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, at once as I see what things be about me. [Forsooth I hope me to send him to you, anon as I shall see what things be about me.]
24 And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.
25 And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.
26 For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.
27 For he was sick [till] to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness [lest I had heaviness upon heaviness].
28 Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.
29 Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with all honour.
30 For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service. [For why for the work of Christ unto the death he went, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed to you with my service.]
