Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
57 Thou art my chelek, Hashem; I have said I would be shomer over Thy words.
58 I sought Thy Face with my kol lev; be gracious unto me according to Thy word.
59 I thought on my drakhim, and turned my feet unto Thy edot (testimonies).
60 I made haste, and delayed not to be shomer over Thy mitzvot.
61 The ropes of the resha’im have bound me; but I have not forgotten Thy torah.
62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto Thee because of Thy righteous mishpatim.
63 I am a chaver of all them that fear Thee, and of them that are shomer over Thy pikkudim.
64 Ha’aretz, Hashem, is full of Thy chesed; teach me Thy chukkot. TET
27 Withhold not tov from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine yad to do it.
28 Say not unto thy neighbor, Go, and come again, and makhar (tomorrow) I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
29 Devise not ra’ah against thy re’a, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
30 Strive not with adam without cause, if he have done thee no ra’ah.
31 Envy thou not the ish chamas, and choose none of his drakhim.
32 For the perverse person is to’avat (detestable) to Hashem; but His sod (secret, intimate counsel) is with the yesharim (upright ones).
33 The curse of Hashem is in the bais of the rasha; but He puts a bracha on the dwelling of the tzaddikim.
34 Surely He scorneth the scorners; but He giveth chen (grace, favor) unto the anayim (lowly, humble ones).
35 The chachamim shall inherit kavod, but shame shall be the promotion of kesilim (fools).
18 And a certain one of the manhigim (leaders, one of the wealthier Baale-Battishe Jews) questioned Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Mori HaTov (Good Teacher), what mitzvah must I do to inherit Chayyei Olam?
19 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Why do you call me tov? No one is tov except Hashem alone, nu?
20 You have daas of the Mitzvot. LO TINAF, LO TIRTZACH, LO TIGNOV, LO TAANEH VREIACHAH ED SHAKER, KABEID ES AVICHA VES IMMECHAH. [SHEMOT 20:12-16; DEVARIM 5:16-20]
21 And he said, In all these things I have been shomer mitzvot and frum from my kinder-yoren.
22 And having heard, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Still one thing for you is lacking. Everything as much as you have, sell and distribute to the aniyim, and you will have otzar in Himel; and come follow me.
23 But having heard these things, he fell into agmat nefesh (grief, sadness). For he had much kesef.
24 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, when he saw him fall into agmat nefesh, said, How difficult it is for the ones having osher (riches) to enter into the Malchut Hashem. [MISHLE 11:28]
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for an oisher (rich man) to enter into the Malchut Hashem.
26 But the ones, having heard, said, Then who is able to come to Yeshu’at Eloheinu?
27 And he said, The things impossible with Bnei Adam are possible with Hashem.
28 And Kefa said, Hinei, we have left everything to follow you.
29 And he said to them, Omein, I say to you, that there is no one who left bais or isha or achim or horim (parents) or yeladim because of the Malchut Hashem,
30 Who will not receive many times as much in this zman (time) and in the Olam HaBah, Chayyei Olam.
