Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
80 (For the one directing. Set to The Lilies of the Edut. Of Asaph. Mizmor.) Give ear, O Ro’eh Yisroel, Thou that leadest Yosef like a tzon; Thou that art enthroned between the Keruvim, shine forth.
2 (3) Before Ephrayim and Binyamin and Menasheh, Stir up Thy gevurah (might), and come and save us.
3 (4) Turn us again, O Elohim, and cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
4 (5) Hashem Elohim Tzva’os, ad mosai (how long) wilt Thou be angry against the tefillat amecha (prayer of Thy people)?
5 (6) Thou feedest them with the lechem dimah (bread of tears); and givest them dima’ot (tears) to drink in great measure.
6 (7) Thou makest us a madon (strife, contention) unto shcheneinu (our neighbors), and oyveinu (our enemies) mock us.
7 (8) Turn us again, O Elohim Tzva’os, and cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
17 (18) Let Thy Yad be upon the Ish Yeminecha (the Man of your Right Hand), upon the Ben Adam whom Thou madest strong for Thyself [cf Psalm 110:1; Dan 7:13].
18 (19) So will we never turn back from Thee; revive us, and we will call upon Thy Shem.
19 Turn us again, Hashem Elohim Tzva’os; cause Thy face to shine that we may be saved.
2 Hoy (Woe) to them that devise aven (iniquity), and plot rah (evil) upon their mishkavim (beds)! At ohr haboker they carry it out, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 And they covet sadot, and seize them; and batim (houses), and take them away; so they oppress a man and his bais, even a man and his nachalah (inheritance).
3 Therefore thus saith Hashem: Hineni, against this mishpochah do I plan a ra’ah, from which ye shall not remove your tzavarot (necks); neither shall ye walk haughtily; for an et ra’ah (time of evil) it is.
4 In Yom HaHu shall one take up a mashal against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We are utterly ruined; He (Hashem) hath changed the chelek of Ami (my People); how hath He (Hashem) removed it from me! To the shovev (faithless, apostate) He (Hashem) apportions our sadot.
5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall divide for you the land by lot in the Kahal Hashem.
6 Prophesy ye not, they prophesy; but if they [Hashem’s nevi’im] do not prophesy concerning these things, kellimot (disgraces, reproaches) will not be turned back.
7 O thou that art named Bais Yaakov, is the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem angry? Are these His doings? Do not My words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Even of late Ami is risen up as an oyev (enemy); ye pull off the cloak from the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse to milchamah (war).
9 The women of Ami have ye cast out from their pleasant homes; from their ollalim have ye taken away My glory l’olam.
10 Arise ye, and depart; for this is not the menuchah (the place of rest); because of the tameah (defilement) that brings sore destruction.
11 If a man, walking after the wind and sheker, do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of yayin and of strong drink; he shall even be the mattif (preacher) of Am HaZeh (this people).
12 I will surely assemble, O Ya’akov, all of thee; I will surely gather the She’erit Yisroel; I will put them together like the tzon of the pen, like the eder (flock) in the meadow; they shall throng with people.
13 The one who breaks through comes up before them; they break through, and pass through the sha’ar, and go out by it; and their Melech [Moshiach, Hoshea 3:5] goes before them, and Hashem at their head.
15 Therefore, when you see the SHIKUTS MESHOMEM [Mk 13:14] (Abomination of Desolation), the thing spoken through Daniel HaNavi, having stood in the Makom Kadosh (Holy Place, i.e., the Beis Hamikdash)—let the reader understand!
16 Then the ones in Yehudah, let them flee to the mountains.
17 The one upon the roof, let him not come down to carry away the things from his bais (house).
18 And the one in the field, let him not turn back to get his kaftan.
19 But oy to the ones with child and the ones with nursing infants in those days.
20 But offer tefillos that your escape may not be in winter or on Shabbos.
21 For then will be Tzarah Gedolah (Great Tribulation) such as has not been from Reshit HaOlam (Beginning of the World) until now nor will it by any means happen again.
22 And if those days were not cut short, kol basar (all flesh) would not be saved. But, on account of the Kadoshim, the Bechirim (Chosen Ones), those days will be cut short.
23 Then, if someone says to you, Hinei, here is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach!, Or, Hinei! Here! Do not have emunah (faith) [in that].
24 For meshichei sheker (false Moshiachs) will arise, and neviei sheker (false prophets), and they will give otot gedolim (great signs) and moftim (wonders), so as to deceive, if possible, even the Bechirim (Chosen ones).
25 Hinei! I have told you beforehand!
26 If, therefore, they say to you, Hinei! He [Moshiach] is in the desert! Do not go out [there]. Hinei! [Moshiach] is in the secret cheder (room)! Do not have emunah [in that].
27 For as lightning goes out from the mizrach (east) and shines to as far as the maarav (west), thus will be the Bias HaMoshiach (coming of the Messiah, the Ben HaAdam, Son of Man‖DANIEL 7:13).
28 Wherever the place of the Geviya (Corpse) is, there will be gathered together the nesharim (vultures, eagles [popularly]).
29 Immediately after the Tzarah (Tribulation Mt 24:21) of those days, the shemesh will be darkened, and the levanah will not give its light. And the kokhavim will fall from Shomayim, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 And then will appear the Ot Ben Adam (the Sign of the Son of Man) in Shomayim. All the tribes of kol haaretz (all the earth) will see the Ben HaAdam Moshiach and his Bias, his Coming, on the ananim of Shomayim (clouds of glory of Heaven) with gevurah (power) and great kavod (glory).
31 Moshiach will send his malachim with a loud blast of the Shofar, and the malachim will gather together Moshiach’s Bechirim from the four winds, from one end of Shomayim to the other.
