132 (Shir HaMa’alot) Hashem, remember Dovid, and all his afflictions;

² How he swore unto Hashem, and vowed unto Avir Ya’akov (the Mighty One of Ya’akov);

³ Surely I will not come into the ohel of my bais, nor go up into my bed;

⁴ I will not give sleep to mine eyes, nor tenumah (slumber) to mine eyelids,

⁵ Until I find a makom (place) for Hashem, even mishkanot for the Avir Ya’akov.

⁶ Hinei, we heard of it at Ephratah; we found it in the sedei Ya’ar (fields of Ya’ar).

⁷ We will go into His mishkanot; we will worship at the hadom (footstool) of His raglayim.

⁸ Arise, Hashem, into Thy menuchah (resting place); Thou, and the Aron of Thy oz (might).

⁹ Let Thy Kohanim be clothed with tzedek; and let Thy chasidim sing for joy.

¹⁰ For the sake of Dovid Thy Eved, do not turn away the face of Thine Moshiach [see Isa 52:13; 53:11].

¹¹ Hashem hath sworn in emes unto Dovid; He will not turn from His oath: Of the p’ri (fruit) of thy beten (body) will I set upon thy kisse (throne).

¹² If thy Banim are shomer over My Brit and My Edot that I shall teach them, their Banim shall also sit upon thy kisse adei-ad (forevermore).

¹³ For Hashem hath chosen Tziyon; He hath desired her for His moshav.

¹⁴ This is My menuchah (resting place) adei-ad (forever); here will I dwell; for I have desired her.

¹⁵ I will place a bountiful brocha on her provision; I will satisfy her poor with lechem.

¹⁶ I will also clothe her Kohanim with Yesha (salvation); and her chasidim shall sing aloud for joy.

¹⁷ There atzmi’ach (I will make sprout i.e., Tzemach) the Keren of Dovid; I have ordained a ner (lamp) for My Moshiach.

¹⁸ His oyevim will I clothe with boshet (shame); but upon him [Moshiach] shall his nezer (crown) be resplendent.

¹¹ And it came to pass, when HaMelech had heard the Divrei Sefer HaTorah, that he tore his garments.

¹² And HaMelech commanded Chilkiyah HaKohen, and Achikam Ben Shaphan, and Achbor Ben Michayah, and Shaphan the Sofer, and Asayah Eved HaMelech, saying,

¹³ Go ye, inquire of Hashem for me, and for HaAm, and for kol Yehudah, concerning the Divrei HaSefer that is found; for gedolah is chamat Hashem that is kindled against us, because Avoteinu have not paid heed unto the Divrei HaSefer Hazeh, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.

¹⁴ So Chilkiyahu HaKohen, and Achikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asayah, went unto Chuldah the neviah, the wife of Shallum ben Tikvah, ben Charchas, Shomer HaBegadim (Keeper of the Wardrobe); (now she dwelt in Yerushalayim in the Mishneh); and they spoke with her.

¹⁵ And she said unto them, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, Tell the ish that sent you to me,

¹⁶ Thus saith Hashem, Hineni, I will bring ra’ah upon this makom (place), and upon the inhabitants thereof, even kol Divrei HaSefer which Melech Yehudah hath read;

¹⁷ Because they have forsaken Me, and have burned ketoret unto elohim acherim, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore My wrath shall be kindled against this makom (place), and shall not be quenched.

¹⁸ But to Melech Yehudah which sent you to inquire of Hashem, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith Hashem Elohei Yisroel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;

¹⁹ Because thine lev was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before Hashem, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a klalah (curse), and hast torn thy garments, and wept before Me; I also have heard thee, saith Hashem.

²⁰ Hineni, therefore, I will gather thee unto Avoteicha, and thou shalt be gathered into thy kevarot in shalom; and thine eyes shall not see kol hara’ah which I will bring upon this place. And they brought back word to HaMelech.

²⁰ But in fact Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach has had His Techiyah! Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is the Bikkurim ("Firstfruits" Gn 1:11-13; Ex 23:16; Lev 23:10-11), the Firstfruits of the ones having fallen asleep [in Moshiach].

²¹ For als (since) through an Adam (Man) came mavet (Gn 2:17), also through an Adam (Man, Moshiach) came the Techiyas HaMesim.

²² For as in Adam all die (Gn 3:19), so also in Moshiach all will be made alive.

²³ But each one in his own order: the Bikkurim, Moshiach; afterward, the ones of Moshiach at the Bias HaMoshiach;

²⁴ Then HaKetz when Moshiach gives over the Malchut Hashem to G-d, even Elohim Avinu (Dan 2:44; 7:13 14,27), after He has abolished all Mishrah and Shilton and Gevurah.

²⁵ For it is necessary for Moshiach to reign until Hashem puts all His OYVIM ("enemies") under His RAGLAYIM ("feet," TEHILLIM 110:1). [YESHAYAH 9:7; 52:7]

²⁶ The last Oyev (Enemy) to be abolished is Mavet.

²⁷ For KOL HASHEM put TACHAT RAGLAV ("All things He subjected under His feet" TEHILLIM 8:7[6]) but when He says that KOL (“all things”) have been subjected, it is peshat (plain, literal) that this does not include the One [Hashem] who put all things in subjection under Moshiach.

²⁸ But, when all things are subjected to Hashem, then also the Ben HaElohim [Moshiach] himself will be subjected to the One (Hashem) having subjected all things under him (Moshiach), that in all things G-d may be all [i.e., preeminent].
