Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
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).
18 And it came to pass after yamim rabbim, that the Devar Hashem came to Eliyahu in the shanah hashlishit, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ach’av; and I will send matar upon the face of ha’adamah.
2 And Eliyahu went to show himself unto Ach’av. And there was a ra’av chazak (strong famine) in Shomron.
3 And Ach’av summoned Ovadyah, who was in charge of the Bayit (Palace)—now Ovadyah feared Hashem me’od (greatly);
4 For it was so, when Izevel cut off the Nevi’im of Hashem, that Ovadyah took a hundred Nevi’im, and hid them by fifty in a me’arah (cave), and fed them with lechem and mayim—
5 And Ach’av said unto Ovadyah, Go into HaAretz unto all springs of mayim, and unto all brooks; perhaps we may find khatzir (grass) to save the sus (horse) and pered (mules) alive, that we not be dispossessed of all the behemah.
6 So they divided ha’aretz between them to pass throughout it; Ach’av went derech echad by himself, and Ovadyah went derech echad by himself.
7 And as Ovadyah was baderech (on the way, road), hinei, Eliyahu met him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you, adoni Eliyahu?
8 And he answered him, I am; go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu!
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy eved into the yad Ach’av to slay me?
10 As Hashem Eloheicha liveth, there is no goy (nation) or mamlachah (kingdom), to where adoni hath not sent to seek thee there: and when they said, He is not there, he had the mamlachah and goy swear, that they found thee not.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu!
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem shall carry thee to where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ach’av, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; but I thy eved fear Hashem from my youth.
13 Was it not told to adoni what I did when Izevel slaughtered the Nevi’im of Hashem, how I hid a hundred ish of Hashem’s Nevi’im by fifty in a me’arah, and fed them with lechem and mayim?
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu! And he shall slay me.
15 And Eliyahu said, As Hashem Tzva’os liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him today.
16 So Ovadyah went to meet Ach’av, and told him; and Ach’av went to meet Eliyahu.
17 And it came to pass, when Ach’av saw Eliyahu, that Ach’av said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Yisroel?
18 And he answered, I have not troubled Yisroel; but thou, and the Bais Avicha, in that ye have forsaken the Mitzvot Hashem, and thou hast followed after the Ba’alim.
19 Now therefore summon, and gather to me kol Yisroel unto Har HaCarmel and the nevi’im of Ba’al four hundred and fifty, and the nevi’im haAsherah four hundred, which eat at shulchan Izevel.
31 And Moshiach went down to Kfar-Nachum, a shtetl of the Galil. And he was saying them shiurim on the Shabbatot.
32 And they were amazed at his torah, because Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach’s dvar torah was with samchut (authority).
33 And in the shul there was a man having a ruach hatameh (unclean spirit, shed, demon) and it let out a shrai (scream).
34 Ah, mah lanu vlach, Yehoshua of Natzeret? Did you come to destroy us? I have daas of who you are, HaKadosh of Hashem.
35 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked him saying, Sha! Shekit! And come out of him! And right in front of them, when the shed threw him down, the ruach hatameh came out of him and did not do him any harm.
36 And astonishment came upon everyone. And they were talking to one another saying, What is this dvar Torah, for with samchut (authority) and koach (power) he commands the ruchot hatemeiot (unclean spirits) and they come out!
37 And a report was going out about him into every place of the surrounding region.
