11 Therefore love thy Lord God, and keep thou his commandments, and ceremonies, and dooms, and his behests, in all time. (And so love the Lord thy God, and obey thou his commandments, and statutes, and laws, or judgements, and his orders, or his charges, for all time.)

² Know ye today those things which your sons know not, which sons have not seen the doctrine, (or discipline,) of your Lord God, nor his great works, and his strong hand, and his stretched (out) arm, (Know ye today those things which your children know not, for they have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, nor his greatness, and his strong hand, and his outstretched arm,)

³ his miracles, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, [the] king, and to all his land,

⁴ and to all the host of the Egyptians, and to their horses, and cars; how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and the Lord did away them till into present day; (and to all the army of the Egyptians, and to their horses, and chariots; how the waters of the Red Sea covered them, when they pursued you, and the Lord did them away, and so things remain unto this present day;)

⁵ and which things the Lord did to you in (the) wilderness, till ye came to this place; (and what the Lord did for you in the wilderness, until ye came to this place;)

⁶ and to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, that was the son of Reuben, which the earth swallowed, when his mouth was opened, with their house(hold)s, and tabernacles, and all the chattel that they had, in the midst of Israel. (and to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, who was Reuben’s son, who, when the earth opened its mouth, were swallowed up with their families, and their tents, and all their substance, in the midst of all Israel.)

⁷ Your eyes saw all the great works of the Lord, which he did,

⁸ that ye keep all his behests which I command today to you, and that ye may enter, and wield the land, (and so obey ye all his commandments which I command to you today, so that ye can enter, and take the land,)

⁹ to which ye shall enter, and ye live therein much time; which land, flowing with milk and honey, the Lord promised under an oath to your fathers and their seed. (to which ye shall enter; and so that ye can live a long time in the land, which the Lord promised by an oath to your fathers and their descendants, yea, a land flowing with milk and honey.)

¹⁰ For the land, to which thou shalt enter to wield, is not as the land of Egypt, out of which thou wentest, where when the seed is sown in the manner of gardens, moist waters be led thereto (where when the seed is sown, water must be brought to it, like in a garden);

¹¹ but the land that Israel shall wield is hills, and fields, and it abideth rains from heaven, (but the land which Israel shall possess is a land of mountains, and valleys, and it receiveth rain from the heavens,)

¹² which land thy Lord God beholdeth, and his eyes be therein (and his eyes be upon it), from the beginning of the year unto the end thereof.

¹³ Therefore if ye shall obey to my behests which I command today to you, that ye love your Lord God, and serve him in all your heart, and in all your soul; (And so if ye will obey my commandments which I command to you today, that ye love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul;)

¹⁴ he shall give to your land rain timely and late, that ye gather wheat, and wine, and oil, (he shall give rain on your land, timely and late, so that ye can gather corn, and wine, and oil,)

¹⁵ (and) hay of the fields to feed beasts, that ye both eat and be full-filled. (and hay from the fields to feed your beasts, so that ye shall eat and be filled full.)

¹⁶ Be ye ware, lest peradventure your heart be deceived, and ye go away from the Lord, and serve alien gods, and worship them; (Be ye careful, lest your heart be deceived, and ye go away from the Lord, and serve foreign, or other, gods, and worship them;)

¹⁷ and the Lord therefore be wroth, and close heaven, and rain come not down, neither the earth give his fruit, and ye perish swiftly from the full good land that the Lord shall give to you. (and so the Lord be angry, and close up the heavens, and the rain come not down, nor the earth give its fruit, and ye swiftly perish from the very good land which the Lord shall give you.)

¹⁸ Put ye these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and hang ye them up for a token, or a sign, in your hands, and set ye them betwixt your eyes. (Put ye these my words in your hearts and in your souls, and bind ye them for a sign upon your hands, and set ye them before your eyes forevermore.)

¹⁹ Teach ye your sons, (so) that they think upon those words, when thou sittest in thine house, and goest in the way (and goest on the way), and liest down, and risest up.

²⁰ Thou shalt write those words upon the (door-)posts, and the gates of thine house(s),

²¹ that the days of thee and of thy sons be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he should give to them, as long as heaven is above (the) earth. (so that the days of thee and of thy sons, can be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers to give them, for as long as the heavens be above the earth.)

²² For if ye keep the behests which I command to you, and do those (For if ye obey all these commandments which I command to you, and do them), that ye love your Lord God, and go in all his ways, and cleave to him,

²³ the Lord shall destroy all these heathen men before your face, and ye shall wield those folks that be greater and stronger than ye.

²⁴ Each place which your foot shall tread, shall be yours; from the desert, and from Lebanon, and from the great flood Euphrates unto the west sea, shall be your terms. (Every place where your feet shall tread, shall be yours; from the wilderness to the mountains of Lebanon, and from the great Euphrates River unto the Great Sea, or the Mediterranean Sea, shall be yours.)

²⁵ None shall stand against you; your Lord God shall give your outward dread and your inward dread upon each land that ye shall tread, as he spake to you. (No one shall stand against you; the Lord your God shall put the fear of you and the dread of you upon every land where ye shall tread, as he promised you.)

²⁶ Lo! I set forth in your sight today blessing and cursing; (Lo! I set before you today the choice of a blessing and a curse;)

²⁷ blessing, if ye obey to the behests of your Lord God, which I command to you today; (a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command to you today;)

²⁸ cursing, if ye hear not the behests of your Lord God, but go away from the way which I show now to you, and go after alien gods, which ye know not. (and a curse, if ye hear not the commandments of the Lord your God, and ye go away from the way which I now show to you, and follow foreign, or other, gods, which ye do not know.)

²⁹ Soothly when thy Lord God hath brought thee into the land, to which to inhabit thou goest, thou shalt set (the) blessing upon the hill Gerizim, (and the) cursing upon the hill Ebal, (And when the Lord thy God hath brought thee into the land, to which thou goest to inhabit, thou shalt proclaim the blessing from Mount Gerizim, and the curse from Mount Ebal,)

³⁰ which hills be beyond (the) Jordan, after the way that goeth to the going down of the sun, in the land of Canaanites, that dwell in the field places against Gilgal, which is beside the valley going and entering far. (which mountains be on the western side of the Jordan River, on the way that leadeth to the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites, who live on the plains near Gilgal, which is close to the sacred trees of Moreh.)

³¹ For ye shall pass (the) Jordan, that ye wield the land which your Lord God shall give to you, and that ye have and wield that land. (For ye shall cross over the Jordan River to possess the land which the Lord your God shall give to you, and ye shall take that land and have it.)

³² Therefore see ye, that ye fulfill the ceremonies and dooms, which I shall set today in your sight. (And so see ye, that ye fulfill the statutes and laws, or judgements, which I shall set before you today.)

95 Come ye, make ye full out joy to the Lord; heartily sing we to God, our health. (Come ye, rejoice ye before the Lord; sing we heartily to God, our salvation/sing we heartily to God, our deliverer.)

² Before-occupy we his face in acknowledging; and heartily sing we to him in psalms. (Let us come before him with thanksgiving; and sing we heartily to him with songs.)

³ For God is a great Lord, and a great King above all gods; for the Lord shall not put away his people.

⁴ For all the ends of [the] earth be in his hand; and the highness, [(or) the heights,] of (the) hills be his.

⁵ For the sea is his, and he made it; and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Come ye, praise we, and fall we down before God; weep we before the Lord that made us; (Come ye, praise we, and fall we down before God; let us kneel before the Lord who made us;)

⁷ for he is our Lord God. And we be the people of his pasture; and the sheep of his hand. If ye have heard his voice today; (for he is the Lord our God. And we be the people of his pasture; and the sheep of his hand. If ye will but listen to his voice today;)

⁸ do not ye make hard your hearts. As in the stirring to wrath; by the day of temptation in desert. (yea, do not ye make your hearts stubborn; like they were at Meribah, and like that time at Massah, in the wilderness.)

⁹ Where your fathers tempted me; they proved and saw my works. (When your forefathers tempted me; they proved, or tested, me, and saw my works.)

¹⁰ Forty years I was offended to this generation; and I said, Ever[more] they err in heart. And these men knew not my ways; (For forty years I was offended by that generation; and I said, They err in their hearts forevermore. And these people do not know my ways;)

¹¹ to whom I swore in mine ire, they shall not enter into my rest. (and so I swore to them in my anger, that they would not enter into my rest.)

96 Sing ye a new song to the Lord; all (the) earth, sing ye to the Lord.

² Sing ye to the Lord, and bless ye his name; tell ye his health from day into day (tell ye about his salvation, or his deliverance, yea, his saving grace, from day unto day).

³ Tell ye his glory among heathen men; his marvels among all peoples. (Tell ye of his glory to the heathen; and of his marvellous deeds to all the nations.)

⁴ For the Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; he is fearedful above all gods (he should be feared above all gods/he should be revered above all gods).

⁵ For all the gods of heathen men be fiends; but the Lord made heavens. (For all the gods of the heathen be but idols; but the Lord made the heavens.)

⁶ Acknowledging and fairness is in his sight; holiness and worthy doing is in his hallowing. (Majesty and glory surround him; strength and beauty be in his sanctuary.)

⁷ Ye countries of heathen men, bring to the Lord, bring ye glory and honour to the Lord; (Ye countries of the heathen, acknowledge to the Lord, acknowledge ye the glory and the strength of the Lord;)

⁸ bring ye to the Lord glory to his name. Take ye sacrifices, and enter ye into the halls of him; (give ye to the Lord the glory due his name. Bring ye your sacrifices, and enter ye into his courtyards;)

⁹ praise ye the Lord in his holy hall. All earth be moved of his face; (praise ye the Lord in the beauty of his holiness. All the earth tremble before him/All the earth dance before him;)

¹⁰ say ye among heathen men, that the Lord hath reigned. And he hath amended the world, that shall not be moved; he shall deem peoples in equity. (say ye among the heathen, that the Lord reigneth. And that he hath set the world firmly in place, so that it cannot be moved; he shall judge the nations with justice.)

¹¹ Heavens be glad, and the earth make full out joy, the sea and the fullness thereof be moved (al)together; (Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all the creatures in it;)

¹² fields shall make joy, and all things that be in those. Then all the trees of woods shall make full out joy, (let the fields make joy, and all the things that be in them. And let all the trees of the woods rejoice,)

¹³ for the face of the Lord, for he cometh; for he cometh to deem the earth. He shall deem the world in equity; and peoples in his truth. (before the Lord, for he cometh; yea, he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, or with justice; and all the peoples with fairness, or in good faith.)

39 In that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent books and gifts to Hezekiah; for he had heard, that Hezekiah had been sick, and was recovered. (At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, the king of Babylon, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah; for he had heard, that Hezekiah had been sick, but now had recovered.)

² Forsooth Hezekiah was glad on them, and showed to them the cell(s) of sweet smelling spices, and of silver, and of gold, and of smelling things, and of best ointment, and all the shops of his purtenance of household, and all things that were found in his treasures; no word was, which Hezekiah showed not to them in his house, and in all his power. (And Hezekiah welcomed the messengers, and showed them the rooms for the sweet smelling spices, and the rooms for the silver, and the gold, and the best perfumes, and all the shops of his purtenance of household, and everything that was found among his treasures; yea, there was nothing, which Hezekiah did not show them in his house, and of all his power.)

³ Soothly Isaiah, the prophet, entered to king Hezekiah (And the prophet Isaiah went in to King Hezekiah), and said to him, What said these men, and from whence came they to thee? And Hezekiah said, From a far land they came to me, from Babylon.

⁴ And Isaiah said, What saw they in thine house? And Hezekiah said, They saw all things that be in mine house; nothing was in my treasures, which I showed not to them.

⁵ And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear thou the word of the Lord of hosts.

⁶ Lo! days shall come, and all things that be in thine house, and which things thy fathers treasured till to this day (and which things thy forefathers treasured unto this day), shall be taken away into Babylon; not anything shall be left, saith the Lord.

⁷ And they shall take [away] of thy sons, that shall go out of thee, which thou shalt engender; and they shall be honest servants and chaste in the palace of the king of Babylon. (And they shall take away some of thy sons, who shall go out of thee, whom thou shalt beget; and they shall be made honest and chaste servants, that is, they shall be made eunuchs, to serve in the palace of the king of Babylon.)

⁸ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of the Lord is good, which he spake. And Hezekiah said, Peace and truth be made only in my days. (And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The word of the Lord is good, which he spoke. And Hezekiah said, Let there be only peace and truth in my days.)

9 And the fifth angel trumpeted; and I saw, that a star had fallen down from heaven into earth; and the key of the pit of deepness was given to it. [And the fifth angel sang in trump; and I saw that a star had fallen down from heaven into earth; and the key of the pit of deepness was given to him.]

² And it opened the pit of deepness [And he opened the pit of deepness], and a smoke of the pit ascended up, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun was darked, and the air, of the smoke of the pit.

³ And locusts went out of the smoke of the pit into earth [And of the smoke of the pit locusts went out into the earth]; and power was given to them, as scorpions of the earth have power.

⁴ And it was commanded to them, that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only men, that have not the sign of God [that have not the mark of God] in their foreheads.

⁵ And it was given to them, that they should not slay them, but that they should be tormented five months; and the tormenting of them, as the tormenting of a scorpion, when he smiteth a man.

⁶ And in those days men shall seek death, and they shall not find it; and they shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.

⁷ And the likeness of locusts be like horses made ready into battle [And the likeness of locusts be like to horses made ready to battle]; and on the heads of them as crowns like gold, and the faces of them as the faces of men.

⁸ And they had hairs, as the hairs of women; and the teeth of them were as the teeth of lions.

⁹ And they had habergeons, as iron habergeons, and the voice of their wings as the voice of chariots of many horses running to battle.

¹⁰ And they had tails like [to] scorpions, and pricks were in the tails of them; and the might of them was to harm men five months.

¹¹ And they had on [upon] them a king, the angel of deepness, to whom the name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but by Greek Apollyon, and by Latin he hath a name Exterminus, that is, Destroyer.

¹² One woe is passed, and lo! yet come two woes.

¹³ After these things also the sixth angel trumpeted [After these things also the sixth angel sang in trump]; and I heard a voice from the four corners of the golden altar, that is before the eyes of God,

¹⁴ and said to the sixth angel that had a trumpet, Unbind thou four angels, that be bound in the great river Euphrates. [saying to the sixth angel that had a trump, Unbind the four angels, that be bound in the great flood Euphrates.]

¹⁵ And the four angels were unbound, which were ready into hour, and day, and month, and year, to slay the third part of men.

¹⁶ And the number of the host of horsemen was twenty thousand times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them.

¹⁷ And so I saw horses in vision; and they that sat on them had fiery habergeons, and of jacinth, and of brimstone [and brimstone]. And the heads of the horses were as [the] heads of lions; and fire, and smoke, and brimstone, cometh forth of the mouth of them [and of the mouth of them fire came forth, and smoke and brimstone].

¹⁸ Of these three plagues the third part of men was slain, of the fire, and of the smoke, and of the brimstone, that came out of the mouth of them.

¹⁹ For the power of the horses is in the mouth of them, and in the tails of them; for the tails of them be like to serpents, having heads, and in them they harm.

²⁰ And the other men, that were not slain in these plagues, neither did penance of the works of their hands, that they worshipped not devils, and simulacra of gold, and of silver [and silver], and of brass, and of stone [and brass, and stone], and of tree, which neither be able to see [which neither may see], neither hear, neither wander;

²¹ and [they] did not penance of their manslayings, neither of their witchcrafts, neither of their fornication, neither of their thefts, were slain [neither of their fornication, neither of their thefts].
