Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

150 Praise Hashem. Hallelu El (Praise G-d) in His Kodesh [Beis Hamikdash]; Hallelu Him in the raki’a [see Bereshis 1:6] of His might.

² Hallelu Him for His gevurot (mighty acts); hallelu Him according to His surpassing greatness.

³ Hallelu Him with the sound of the shofar; hallelu Him with the nevel (harp) and kinnor (lyre).

⁴ Hallelu Him with the tambourine and dance; hallelu Him with stringed instruments and flute.

⁵ Hallelu Him upon the clashing cymbals; hallelu Him upon the resounding cymbals.

⁶ Let every thing that hath neshamah praise Hashem. Praise Hashem!

30 The Davar that came to Yirmeyah from Hashem, saying,

² Thus speaketh Hashem Elohei Yisroel, saying, Write thee all the Devarim that I have spoken unto thee in a sefer.

³ For, hinei, the days are coming, saith Hashem, that I will bring back from captivity My people Yisroel and Yehudah, saith Hashem; and I will cause them to return to ha’aretz that I gave to their avot, and they shall possess it.

⁴ And these are the Devarim that Hashem spoke concerning Yisroel and concerning Yehudah.

⁵ For thus saith Hashem: We have heard a cry of fear, of pachad (terror), and not of shalom.

⁶ Ask ye now, and see whether a zachar (male) doth travail with child? Why do I see every gever with his hands on his stomach, like a woman in labor, and all faces are turned deadly pale?

⁷ Alas! For gadol hayom, so that none is like it; it is even the Et (Time) of Tzarah l’Ya’akov (Jacob’s Trouble), but he shall be saved out of it.

⁸ For it shall come to pass in that day, saith Hashem Tzva’os, that I will break his yoke from off thy tzavar (neck), and will burst thy bonds, and zarim (foreigners) shall no more make a slave of him;

⁹ But they shall serve Hashem Eloheihem, and Dovid their Melech [i.e. Moshiach], whom I will raise up for them.

¹⁰ Therefore, fear thou not, O Avdi Ya’akov, saith Hashem; neither be dismayed, O Yisroel; for, hineni, I will save thee from afar, and thy zera from the eretz of their captivity; and Ya’akov shall return, and shall be at rest, and be secure, and none shall make him afraid.

¹¹ For I am with thee, saith Hashem, to save thee; though I make a full end of all Goyim where I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee; but I will correct thee in mishpat, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.

¹⁰ By this is made hisgalus of the yeladim of Hashem and the yeladim of Hasatan: everyone not practicing tzedek is not of Hashem; also the one not having ahavah for his Ach b’Moshiach.

¹¹ Because this is the divrei Torah which we heard from the beginning, that we have ahavah one for another,

¹² Not as Kayin, who was of the evil one, and slaughtered the ach of him; and for what cause did he slaughter him? Because the ma’asim of him were ra’im and the ma’asim of the ach of him were ma’asei tzedek. [BERESHIS 4:8; TEHILLIM 38:20; MISHLE 29:10]

¹³ And, Achim b’Moshiach, do not marvel if the Olam Hazeh hates you.

¹⁴ We have da’as that we have made our histalkus (passing) out of Mavet into Chayyim, because we have ahavah for the Achim b’Moshiach; the one not having ahavah makes his ma’on in death.

¹⁵ Everyone hating his Ach b’Moshiach is a rotzeach (murderer). And you have da’as that every rotzeach does not have Chayyei Olam making a ma’on in him.

¹⁶ By this we have had da’as of ahavah, because that One on behalf of us laid down his nefesh [YESHAYAH 53:10]; and we ought, on behalf of the Achim b’Moshiach, to lay down our nefashot.
