Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

107 O give thanks unto Hashem, for He is tov; ki l’olam chasdo (for His mercy endureth forever).

² Let the Geulei Hashem (the redeemed of Hashem) say so, whom He hath redeemed from the yad tzar;

³ And gathered them out of the lands, from the mizrach (east), and from the ma’arav (west), from the tzafon (north), and from the yam (sea).

³³ He turneth neharot (rivers) into a midbar, and the springs of water into dry ground;

³⁴ An eretz p’ri (fruitful land) into salt wasteland, because of the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

³⁵ He turneth the midbar into an agam (pool, lake) of mayim, and dry ground into springs of water.

³⁶ And there He maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may found an ir moshav (an inhabited city);

³⁷ And sow the sadot, and plant kramim, and acquire p’ri tevu’ah (fruits of increase).

³⁸ He made a brocha on them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and He doth not permit their behemah to decrease.

³⁹ Again, they are diminished and brought low through otzer (oppression), ra’ah (calamity, peril, trouble) and yagon (sorrow, grief).

⁴⁰ He poureth contempt upon nedivim (nobles), and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no derech.

⁴¹ Yet setteth He the evyon (needy) up above oni (affliction), and maketh him mishpekhot like a tzon (flock).

⁴² The yesharim (upright ones) shall see it, and rejoice with simchah; and all iniquity shall shut its mouth.

⁴³ Whosoever is chacham, and will be shomer over these things, even they shall understand the chasdei Hashem (lovingkindnesses of Hashem).

55 Come, kol tzameh (all ye who are thirsty), come ye to the mayim and he that hath no kesef; come ye, buy, and eat; yes, come, buy yayin and cholov without kesef and without mekhir (price, cost).

² Why do ye spend kesef for that which is not lechem? And your labor for that which satisfieth not? Pay heed diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is tov, and let your nefesh delight itself in deshen (the best food, the fat of the land).

³ Incline your ozen, and come unto Me; hear, and your nefesh shall live; and I will make with you a Brit Olam, even the chasdei Dovid hane’emanim [see Ac 13:34 OJBC].

⁴ See, I have given him [Moshiach, Ac 13:34 OJAC] for an ed l’ummim (witness to the Nations), a Nagid and Metzavveh (commander) for the Nations.

⁵ Behold, thou shalt summon a Goy (People) that thou knowest not, and Goy that knew not thee shall run unto thee l’ma’an (for the sake of) Hashem Eloheicha and for Kadosh Yisroel; for He hath glorified thee.

⁶ Seek ye Hashem while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is karov (near);

⁷ Let the rasha forsake his derech, and the ish aven his machshevot; and let him return unto Hashem, and He will have rachamim upon him; and to Eloheinu, for He will abundantly pardon.

⁸ For My machshevot are not your machshevot, neither are the darkhei (ways) of you the darkhei of Me, saith Hashem.

⁹ For as Shomayim is higher than ha’aretz, so are the darkhei of Me higher than the darkhei of you, and My machshevot than your machshevot.

8 In yamim hahem (those days), again, when there was a great multitude and they had no okhel (food), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach called his talmidim, and says to them,

² I have rachmei shomayim (heavenly mercy, compassion) on the multitude, because they already shlosha yamim (three days) have remained with me and they do not have anything they may eat;

³ And if I send them away hungry to their batim (houses), they will give out on the way; and some of them have come from far away.

⁴ And his talmidim answered him, From where will anyone be able to find enough lechem to feed these ones here in the midbar? [BAMIDBAR 11:21]

⁵ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was asking them, How many loaves do you have? And they said, Shevah.

⁶ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach directed the multitude to recline at tish, as it were, on the ground. And having taken the sheva kikrot (loaves), he made a bracha, saying the ha-Motzi, and offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread) and was giving [them] to his talmidim to serve to them, and they served the multitude.

⁷ And they also had a few small dagim. And after he had made the bracha over them, he directed these to be served as well.

⁸ And they ate and were satisfied. And there was an abundance of shirayim (Rebbe’s remainders), sheva baskets [full].

⁹ And there were approximately arbaat elafim (four thousand [people]). And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent them away.

¹⁰ And ofen ort (immediately), having embarked onto the sirah (boat) with his talmidim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came into the region of Dalmanutha.
