7 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet;

² thou -- thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons of Israel out of his land.

³ `And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt,

⁴ and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments;

⁵ and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out the sons of Israel from their midst.'

⁶ And Moses doth -- Aaron also -- as Jehovah commanded them; so have they done;

⁷ and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh.

⁸ And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

⁹ `When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast before Pharaoh -- it becometh a monster.'

¹⁰ And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and they do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a monster.

¹¹ And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers; and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do so,

¹² and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters, and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods;

¹³ and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁴ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The heart of Pharaoh hath been hard, he hath refused to send the people away;

¹⁵ go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take in thy hand,

¹⁶ and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened hitherto.

¹⁷ `Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which [is] in my hand, on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been turned to blood,

¹⁸ and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking waters from the River.'

¹⁹ And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt, against their streams, against their rivers, and against their ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they are blood -- and there hath been blood in all the land of Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.'

²⁰ And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth the waters which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are] in the River are turned to blood,

²¹ and the fish which [is] in the River hath died, and the River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of Egypt.

²² And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken,

²³ and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath not set his heart even to this;

²⁴ and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of the River.

²⁵ And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the River,

10 And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city and place whither he himself was about to come,

² then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed [is] abundant, but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest, that He may put forth workmen to His harvest.

³ `Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves;

⁴ carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on the way;

⁵ and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

⁶ and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.

⁷ `And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; go not from house to house,

⁸ and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you, eat the things set before you,

⁹ and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of God hath come nigh to you.

¹⁰ `And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say,

¹¹ And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of God hath come nigh to you;

¹² and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be more tolerable than for that city.

¹³ `Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had reformed;

¹⁴ but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the judgment than for you.

¹⁵ `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted, unto hades thou shalt be brought down.

¹⁶ `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me away, doth put away Him who sent me.'

¹⁷ And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;'

¹⁸ and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as lightning from the heaven having fallen;

¹⁹ lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by any means shall hurt you;

²⁰ but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the heavens.'

²¹ In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father, because so it became good pleasure before Thee.

²² `All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to reveal [Him].'

²³ And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye perceive;

²⁴ for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye hear, and did not hear.'

²⁵ And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying, `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?'

²⁶ And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written? how dost thou read?'

²⁷ And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy neighbour as thyself.'

²⁸ And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do, and thou shalt live.'

²⁹ And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?'

³⁰ and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, `A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went away, leaving [him] half dead.

³¹ `And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite side;

³² and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side.

³³ `But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and having seen him, he was moved with compassion,

³⁴ and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he brought him to an inn, and was careful of him;

³⁵ and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries, he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him, and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again, will give back to thee.

³⁶ `Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?'

³⁷ and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like manner.'

³⁸ And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha, did receive him into her house,

³⁹ and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word,

⁴⁰ and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake along with me.'

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and disquieted about many things,

⁴² but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did choose, that shall not be taken away from her.'

24 Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden, And those knowing Him have not seen His days.

² The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently away, Yea, they do evil.

³ The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in pledge the ox of the widow,

⁴ They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.

⁵ Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.

⁶ In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the wicked they glean.

⁷ The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there is no covering in the cold.

⁸ From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a refuge -- have embraced a rock.

⁹ They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on the poor they lay a pledge.

¹⁰ Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry -- have taken away a sheaf.

¹¹ Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have trodden, and thirst.

¹² Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.

¹³ They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths.

¹⁴ At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.

¹⁵ And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight, Saying, `No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in secret.

¹⁶ He hath dug in the darkness -- houses; By day they shut themselves up, They have not known light.

¹⁷ When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.

¹⁸ Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.

¹⁹ Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol [those who] have sinned.

²⁰ Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.

²¹ Treating evil the barren [who] beareth not, And [to] the widow he doth no good,

²² And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.

²³ He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.

²⁴ High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.

²⁵ And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

11 Followers of me become ye, as I also [am] of Christ.

² And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye keep,

³ and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God.

⁴ Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, doth dishonour his head,

⁵ and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven,

⁶ for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her be covered;

⁷ for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man,

⁸ for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man,

⁹ for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;

¹⁰ because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority upon the head, because of the messengers;

¹¹ but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman apart from a man, in the Lord,

¹² for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman, and the all things [are] of God.

¹³ In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God?

¹⁴ doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him?

¹⁵ and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;

¹⁶ and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the assemblies of God.

¹⁷ And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the better, but for the worse ye come together;

¹⁸ for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it],

¹⁹ for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those approved may become manifest among you;

²⁰ ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not to eat the Lord's supper;

²¹ for each his own supper doth take before in the eating, and one is hungry, and another is drunk;

²² why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise!

²³ For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he was delivered up, took bread,

²⁴ and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye -- to the remembrance of me.'

²⁵ In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying, `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often as ye may drink [it] -- to the remembrance of me;'

²⁶ for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may come;

²⁷ so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood of the Lord:

²⁸ and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let him eat, and of the cup let him drink;

²⁹ for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the Lord.

³⁰ Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and sleep do many;

³¹ for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being judged,

³² and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

³³ so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one another wait ye;

³⁴ and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I may come, I shall arrange.
