130 (Shir HaMa’alot) Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, Hashem.

² Adonoi, hear my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my techinnot (supplications).

³ If Thou, Hashem, shouldest record iniquities, Adonoi, who could stand?

⁴ But there is selichah (forgiveness) with Thee; therefore, Thou art feared.

⁵ I wait for Hashem, my nefesh doth wait, and in His Devar do I hope.

⁶ My nefesh waiteth for Adonoi more than the shomrim that watch for the boker; I say, more than the shomrim that watch for the boker.

⁷ Let Yisroel hope in Hashem; for with Hashem there is chesed, and with Him is plenteous pedut (redemption).

⁸ And He shall redeem Yisroel from all his iniquities.

¹⁶ And the news thereof was heard in Bais Pharaoh saying, Achei Yosef are come; and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his avadim.

¹⁷ And Pharaoh said unto Yosef, Say unto thy achim, This do ye; load your beasts, and go, get you unto Eretz Kena’an;

¹⁸ And take Avichem and your households, and come unto me; and I will give you the best of Eretz Mitzrayim, ye shall eat the chelev haaretz.

¹⁹ Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you agalot (wagons) out of Eretz Mitzrayim for your little ones, and for your nashim, and bring Avichem, and come.

²⁰ Also regard not your kelim; for the best of kol Eretz Mitzrayim is yours.

²¹ And the Bnei Yisroel did so; and Yosef gave them agalot, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the derech.

²² To all of them he gave each man chalifot semalot; but to Binyamin he gave three hundred pieces of kesef, and chamesh chalifot semalot.

²³ And to Aviv he sent after this manner; ten chamorim loaded with the best of Mitzrayim, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and lechem and provision for Aviv for the derech.

²⁴ So he sent his achim away, and they departed; and he said unto them, See that ye not quarrel by the derech.

²⁵ And they went up out of Mitzrayim, and came into Eretz Kena’an unto Ya’akov avihem,

²⁶ And told him, saying, Yosef chai! Yosef is yet alive, and he is Moshel kol Eretz Mitzrayim. And Ya’akov’s lev fainted, for he believed them not [see Lk 24:10-11 OJBC].

²⁷ And they told him kol divrei Yosef, which he had said unto them; and when he saw the agalot which Yosef had sent to carry him, the ruach Ya’akov avihem revived;

²⁸ And Yisroel said, It is enough; Yosef Beni chai! Yosef Beni is yet alive; I will go and see him before I die.

8 And when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came down from the mountain, many multitudes followed him.

² And an ish metzorah (a leper) there was who approached him and fell down before Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, saying, Adoneinu, if you choose, you can make me tahor (clean).

³ And, having stretched out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched him, saying, I am willing. Be made tahor.

⁴ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, See that you tell no one, but go and show yourself to the kohen and offer the korban about which Moshe gave mitzvah as an edut to them.

⁵ Now when Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered into Kfar-Nachum, a centurion approached him, begging him

⁶ and saying, Adoneinu, my servant has been bedridden in the house, paralyzed, in terrible tza’ar.

⁷ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, I am coming. I will bring him refuah (healing).

⁸ The centurion answered, Adoneinu, I am not worthy that you might come under my roof, but only say the dvar, and my servant will receive the refuah (healing).

⁹ For I also am a man under marut (authority), having soldiers subordinate to myself, and I say to this one, Go! And he goes, and to another, Come! And he comes, and to my servant, Do this! And he does it.

¹⁰ And having heard this, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was amazed and said to those who followed him, Omein, I say to you, in no one in Yisroel have I found such great emunah.

¹¹ And I say to you, that many from the mizrach (east) and the maarav (west) will come and will sit bimesibba (reclining at tish) with Avraham and Yitzchak and Yaakov in the Malchut HaShomayim.

¹² But the Bnei HaMalchut will be thrown out into the outer choshech (darkness), where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.

¹³ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to the centurion, Go! According to your bitachon (trust), your emunah (faith), let it be for you. And his servant was given refuah (healing) punkt (exactly) at that hour.
