96 O sing unto Hashem a shir chadash; sing unto Hashem, kol ha’aretz.

² Sing unto Hashem, barakhu Shmo, show forth His Yeshuah (salvation) from day to day.

³ Declare His kavod among the Goyim, His nifle’ot (marvelous deeds) among all peoples.

⁴ For Hashem is gadol, and me’od to be praised; He is to be feared above all elohim.

⁵ For kol elohei HaAmim are elilim (idols); but Hashem made Shomayim.

⁶ Hod and hadar are before Him; oz and tiferet are in His Mikdash.

⁷ Render unto Hashem, O ye mishpekhot of the nations, render unto Hashem kavod and oz.

⁸ Render unto Hashem the kavod due unto Shmo; bring a minchah, and come into His khatzerot (courtyards).

⁹ O worship Hashem in the hadrat Kodesh; fear before Him, kol ha’aretz.

¹⁰ Say among the Goyim that Hashem reigneth; the tevel also is established that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the Amim bemeysharim (in equity, in uprightness).

¹¹ Let Shomayim rejoice, and let ha’aretz be glad; let the yam roar, and the fullness thereof.

¹² Let the sadeh be jubilant, and all that is therein; then shall kol atzei ya’ar (all the trees of the forest) sing for joy

¹³ Before Hashem; for He cometh, for He cometh to judge ha’aretz; He shall judge tevel betzedek (world in righteousness), and Amim with His emunah (truth).

17 And there was an ish from har Ephrayim, whose shem was Mikhay’hu.

² And he said unto his em, The eleven hundred pieces of kesef that were taken from thee, about which thou did utter a curse, and spoke of also in mine ears, Hinei, the kesef is with me; I took it. And his em said, Baruch beni LaHashem.

³ And when he had restored the eleven hundred pieces of kesef to his em, his em said, I had wholly set apart as kodesh the kesef unto Hashem from my hand for beni (my son), to make a pesel (carved image, idol [See Ex 20:4]) and a masekhah (an image cast from a mold [See Ex 32:4]); now therefore I will return it unto thee.

⁴ So he restored the kesef unto his em; and his em took two hundred pieces of kesef and gave them to the tzoref (goldsmith), who made thereof a pesel and a masekhah; and they were in the bais Mikhay’hu.

⁵ And the ish Mikhay’hu had a bais elohim, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and ordained one of his banim, who became his kohen.

⁶ In those yamim there was no melech in Yisroel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

⁹ I wrote something to the kehillah [there]; but Diotrephes, who has fallen in love with being "Rosh of the Kehillah," does not receive us.

¹⁰ Oib azoi (consequently), if I come, I will remember his "ma’asim" ("works") which he does, his bringing unjustified charges against us with lashon horah (evil speech). And not being satisfied with performing these "mitzvot", he even refuses to receive the Achim b’Moshiach, and, those intending to do so, he hinders and expels out of the kehillah.

¹¹ Chaver, do not imitate HaRah (Evil); rather, imitate HaTov (Good). The one doing HaTov is from Hashem. The one doing HaRah has not regarded Hashem.

¹² To Demetrius, eidus (witness of testimony, commendation) has been given by all and, personally, by no less than HaEmes (the Truth); we also give eidus, and you have da’as that our eidus is emes.
