Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
3 And the Devar Hashem came unto Yonah the second time, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that ir hagedolah, and preach unto it the preaching that I give thee.
3 So Yonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the Devar Hashem. Now Nineveh was an exceeding ir gedolah of a journey of shloshet yamim.
4 And Yonah began to enter into the city one day’s journey, and he cried out and preached, and said, Yet arba’im yamim (40 days), and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
5 So the people of Nineveh had emunah in Elohim, and proclaimed a tzom, and put on sackcloth, from their gedolim even to their ketanim.
10 And HaElohim saw their ma’asim, that they shavu (turned) from their derech hara’ah; and HaElohim relented of hara’ah, that He had said that He would do unto them; and He did it not.
5 (6) Truly in Elohim wait silently [in submission], my nefesh, for my tikvah (hope) is from Him.
6 (7) Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshuah (salvation); He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
7 (8) In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod: the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.
8 (9) Trust in Him at all time; ye people, pour out your lev before Him; Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.
9 (10) Truly Bnei Adam (those of low estate) are hevel (vanity), and Bnei Ish (those who are highborn) are kazav (a lie); they go up in the balances; they are altogether lighter than hevel (vanity).
10 (11) Trust not in oshek (oppression, extortion) and become not vain in gazel (the thing taken as plunder); if riches increase, set not your lev upon them.
11 (12) Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that oz (strength) belongeth unto Elohim.
12 (13) Also unto Thee, Adonoi, belongeth chesed; for Thou renderest to ish (every man) according to his ma’asim (deeds).
29 Now this I say, Achim b’Moshiach, the time [until HaKetz] has been shortened. From now on, let those having nashim live as if not having nashim,
30 And let the ones weeping as not weeping, and let the ones having simcha as not having simcha, and let the ones buying as not possessing,
31 And let the ones using the Olam Hazeh as not fully using it, for the present form of the Olam Hazeh is passing away.
14 Now after Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the Galil, proclaiming the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem,
15 And saying, The appointed time has been fulfilled and the Malchut Hashem has come near. Make teshuva, and have emunah in the Besuras HaGeulah.
16 And passing along beside Lake Kinneret, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw Shimon and Andrew, the brother of Shimon, casting a reshet into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).
17 And he said to them, Come, follow me [as my talmidim], and I will make you to become daiyagei adam
18 And ofen ort, leaving their nets, they followed Moshiach.
19 And going on a little, he saw Yaakov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, who were also in the sirah (boat) repairing the nets.
20 And ofen ort he summoned them; and, leaving Zavdai their father in the sirah with the sachirim (hired workers), they went away to follow Moshiach.
