Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

2 And Channah davened, and said, My lev rejoiceth in Hashem, mine keren is exalted in Hashem; my mouth is opened wide over mine oyevim; because I rejoice with simchah in Thy Yeshuah (Salvation).

² There is none kadosh like Hashem; for there is none besides Thee; neither is there any Tzur like Eloheinu.

³ Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not atak (insolence) come out of your mouth; for Hashem is El De’ot (a G-d -who intensively knows), and by Him alilot (actions) are weighed.

⁴ Keshet gibborim are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with chayil (strength).

⁵ They that were full have hired out themselves for lechem; and they that were hungry are such no more; so that the barren hath born shivah; and she that hath rabbat banim withers in grief.

⁶ Hashem bringeth mot, and maketh chayyim; He bringeth down to Sheol, and raiseth up.

⁷ Hashem maketh poor, and bringeth oisher; He bringeth low, and lifteth up.

⁸ He raiseth up the dal (poor) out of the aphar (dust), and lifteth up the evyon (needy) from the dunghill, to seat them among nedivim (nobles), and to make them inherit the kisse kavod; for the pillars of the earth belong to Hashem, and He hath set the tevel (world) upon them.

⁹ He is shomer over the feet of His chasidim, and the resha’im shall be silenced in choshech; for by ko’ach shall no ish prevail.

¹⁰ Those striving against Hashem shall be shattered; out of Shomayim shall He thunder upon him [the contentious]; Hashem shall judge the afsei eretz (ends of the earth); and He shall give oz (strength) unto His Melech, and exalt the keren (horn, power) of His Moshiach.

¹⁵ And Elohim said unto Avraham, As for Sarai thy isha, thou shalt not call her shem Sarai, but Sarah (Princess) shall her shem be.

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee ben also of her; yes, will bless her, and she shall give rise to Goyim; melechim of peoples shall be from her.

¹⁷ Then Avraham fell upon his face, and yitzchak (laughed), and said in his lev, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred shanah? And shall Sarah, that is ninety shanah, bear?

¹⁸ And Avraham said unto HaElohim, O that Yishmael might live before Thee!

¹⁹ And Elohim said, Sarah thy isha shall bear thee ben indeed; and thou shalt call shmo Yitzchak; and I will establish My Brit (covenant) with him for a Brit Olam, and with his zera after him.

²⁰ And as for Yishmael, I have heard thee; hinei, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve nasi’im (princes, rulers) shall he father, and I will make him a goy gadol (great nation).

²¹ But My Brit (covenant) will I establish with Yitzchak, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at mo’ed hazeh (this set time) next year.

²² And He left off speaking with him, and Elohim went up from Avraham.

⁸ But, formerly, when you did not have da’as (knowledge) of Hashem, you were avadim serving that which is by nature not HaEl Ha’Amiti (the true G-d).

⁹ But, now, having known Hashem, or rather having been known by Hashem, how is it that you are returning to the weak and beggarly yesodot (rudiments) of the Olam Hazeh to which again you want to renew your service as avadim?

¹⁰ You [Galatian Goyim] observe yamim (days) and chodashim (months, new moons) and mo’adim (fixed times, festivals) and shanim.

¹¹ I fear for you, lest somehow efsher (perhaps) I have labored for you lashav (in vain).

¹² Become as I am, because I also became as you are, Achim B’Moshiach. I implore you. You did me no wrong.

¹³ And you know that it was due to chulshat habasar (weakness of the flesh, sickness) that I first preached the Besuras HaGeulah to you,

¹⁴ and your nisayon (trial) in my basar you did not despise nor did you loathe, but as a malach Hashem you received me, as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua himself.

¹⁵ Where then is your birkat Shomayim? For I testify to you that if possible, having torn out your eynayeem (eyes), you would have made a mattanah (gift) of them to me.

¹⁶ So, then, have I become your oyev (enemy) by telling you HaEmes?

¹⁷ They (the mohalim haGoyim) are zealously courting you, but not in a good way; rather, they desire to cut you off and shut you out, in order that you may be zealous for them.

¹⁸ Now it is tov ma’od to be zealous in a good thing all the time, and not only during my presence with you.

¹⁹ My yeladim, for whom again I suffer chevlei leydah (birth pains) until Moshiach is formed in you,

²⁰ Would that I were present with you just now and could change my tone, because I am baffled by you.
