2 | 1 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 1 | Now, therefore, hearken (unto me) all ye who know righteousness, | ||||||||||||||||||||
3 | 2 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 2 | And have understanding in the works of God. For He hath a controversy with all flesh, And will execute judgment upon all who despise Him. | ||||||||||||||||||||
4 | 3 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 3 | For because of the trespass of those who forsook Him, He hid His face from Israel and from His Sanctuary, And gave them over to the sword. | ||||||||||||||||||||
5 | 4 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 4 | But when He remembered the covenant of the forefathers, He left a remnant to Israel, and gave them not over to destruction. | ||||||||||||||||||||
6 | 5 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 5 | [And in the period of the wrath three hundred and ninety years after He had given them in the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon He visited them], and He made to spring forth from Israel and Aaron, A root of His planting to inherit His land, And to grow fat through the goodness of His earth. | ||||||||||||||||||||
7 | 6 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 6 | And they had understanding of their iniquity, And they knew that they were guilty men, And had like the blind been groping after the way twenty years. | ||||||||||||||||||||
8 | 7 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 7 | And God considered their works; for they sought Him with a perfect heart And He raised them up a Teacher of righteousness To lead them in the way of His heart. | ||||||||||||||||||||
9 | 8 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 8 | And He made known to later generations what He had done [to a later generation] to a congregation of treacherous men: Those who turned aside out of the way. | ||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 9 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 9 | This was the time concerning which it was written: As a stubborn heifer So hath Israel behaved himself stubbornly: | ||||||||||||||||||||
11 | 10 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 10 | When there arose the scornful man, Who talked to Israel lying words, And made them go astray in the wilderness where there was no way,[to bring low the pride of the world]. | ||||||||||||||||||||
12 | 11 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 11 | So that they should turn aside from the paths of righteousness, And remove the landmark which the forefathers had set in their inheritance: | ||||||||||||||||||||
13 | 12 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 12 | So as to make cleave unto them The curses of His covenant, To deliver them to the sword That avengeth with the vengeance of the covenant. | ||||||||||||||||||||
14 | 13 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 13 | Because they sought after smooth things, And they chose deceits, And kept watch with a view to lawless deeds. | ||||||||||||||||||||
15 | 14 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 14 | And they chose the best of the neck, And justified the wicked,And condemned the righteous: | ||||||||||||||||||||
16 | 15 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 15 | And transgressed the covenant, And violated the statute, And attacked the soul of the righteous. | ||||||||||||||||||||
17 | 16 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 16 | And all that walked uprightly their soul abhorred, And they pursued them with the sword, And rejoiced in the strife of the people. | ||||||||||||||||||||
18 | 17 | 0014 | 1 | 1 | 17 | And so the wrath of God was kindled against their congregation, So that He laid waste all their multitude, And their deeds were uncleanness before Him. | ||||||||||||||||||||
19 | 18 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 1 | And now hearken unto me all ye who have entered into the covenant, And I will disclose to you the ways of the wicked. | ||||||||||||||||||||
20 | 19 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 2 | God loveth [knowledge] wisdom: And counsel He hath set before Him; Prudence and knowledge minister unto Him. | ||||||||||||||||||||
21 | 20 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Longsuffering is with Him And plenteousness of forgivenesses To pardon those who repent of transgression. | ||||||||||||||||||||
22 | 21 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 4 | And power and might and great fury with flames of fire [therein are all the angels of destruction] For them who turned aside out of the way, And abhorred the statute, | ||||||||||||||||||||
23 | 22 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 5 | So that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape of them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
24 | 23 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 6 | For God chose them not from the beginning of the world, And ere they were formed He knew their works. | ||||||||||||||||||||
25 | 24 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 7 | And He abhorred their generations from of old, And hid His face from their land till they were consumed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
26 | 25 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 8 | [And He knew the years of (their) office and the number and exact statement of their periods for all the things that belong to the ages and have been, moreover whatsoever shall come to pass in their periods for all the years of eternity.] | ||||||||||||||||||||
27 | 26 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 9 | Yet in all of them He raised Him up men called by name, In order to leave a remnant to the earth, And to fill the face of the earth with their seed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
28 | 27 | 0014 | 1 | 2 | 10 | And through His Messiah He shall make them know His holy spirit. And he is true, and in the true interpretation of his name are their names: But them He hated He made to go astray. | ||||||||||||||||||||
29 | 28 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 1 | Now therefore, children, hearken unto me, And I will open your eyes to see, And to understand the works of God. And to choose what He approveth, And to reject what He hateth: | ||||||||||||||||||||
30 | 29 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 2 | To walk uprightly in all His ways, And not to go about in the thoughts of an evil imagination And (with) eyes (full) of fornication. | ||||||||||||||||||||
31 | 30 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 3 | For many were led astray by them, And mighty men of valor stumbled by them from of old [and until this day]. | ||||||||||||||||||||
32 | 31 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 4 | Because they walked in the stubbornness of their heart the watchers of heaven fell. By them were they caught because they kept not the commandment of God. | ||||||||||||||||||||
33 | 32 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 5 | And their children whose height was like the loftiness of the cedars And whose bodies were like the mountains fell thereby. | ||||||||||||||||||||
34 | 33 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 6 | All flesh that was on dry land perished thereby. And they were as though they had not been. | ||||||||||||||||||||
35 | 34 | 0014 | 1 | 3 | 7 | Because they did their own will, and kept not the commandment of their Maker, Until His wrath was kindled against them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
36 | 35 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 1 | By them went astray the sons of Noah and their families: Because of them they were cut off. | ||||||||||||||||||||
37 | 36 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 2 | Abraham did not walk in them, And he was (recorded) friend because he kept the commandments of God, And chose not the will of his own spirit. | ||||||||||||||||||||
38 | 37 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 3 | And he delivered (the commandment) to Isaac and Jacob, And they observed (it) and were recorded as friends of God, And members of the covenant forever. | ||||||||||||||||||||
39 | 38 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 4 | The sons of Jacob went astray through them, And they were punished according to their error. | ||||||||||||||||||||
40 | 39 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 5 | And their children in Egypt walked in the stubbornness of their heart, So that they took counsel against the commandments of God, And every man did that which was right in his own eyes. | ||||||||||||||||||||
41 | 40 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 6 | [And they eat blood], and He cut off their males in the desert (when He said) to them in Kadesh: Go up and possess (the land, but they hardened) their spirit: | ||||||||||||||||||||
42 | 41 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 7 | And they hearkened not unto the voice of their Maker [The commandments of their Teacher] but murmured in their tents, And so the wrath of God was kindled against their congregation | ||||||||||||||||||||
43 | 42 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 8 | And their children [perished by it And their kings] were cut off by it, And their mighty men perished by it, And their land was made desolate by it. | ||||||||||||||||||||
44 | 43 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 9 | By it the first that entered into the covenant incurred guilt, And they were delivered unto the sword, Because they forsook the covenant of God: | ||||||||||||||||||||
45 | 44 | 0014 | 1 | 4 | 10 | And they chose their own will, And went about after the stubbornness of their heart, Every man doing his own will. | ||||||||||||||||||||
46 | 45 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 1 | But with them that held fast by the commandments of God, [who were left of them], God confirmed the covenant of Israel forever, Revealing unto them the hidden things Wherein all Israel had erred: | ||||||||||||||||||||
47 | 46 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 2 | His holy Sabbaths and His glorious festivals, His righteous testimonies and His true ways, And the desires of His will [the which if a man do, he shall live by them] He opened before them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
48 | 47 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 3 | And they digged a well of many waters: And he that despises them shall not live. | ||||||||||||||||||||
49 | 48 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 4 | But they wallowed in the transgression of man, And in the ways of the unclean woman, And they said that it belongs to us. | ||||||||||||||||||||
50 | 49 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 5 | But God wondrously pardoned their sins, And forgave their transgression, And He built them a sure house in Israel [the like of which never arose from of old nor until this day]. | ||||||||||||||||||||
51 | 50 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 6 | They who hold fast to him are for the life of eternity, And all the glory of man is for them; As God confirmed it to them through Ezekiel the prophet, saying: | ||||||||||||||||||||
52 | 51 | 0014 | 1 | 5 | 7 | The priests and the Levites and the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of My Sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from them, they shall bring near unto Me fat and blood. | ||||||||||||||||||||
53 | 52 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 1 | The priests are the penitents of Israel who went forth out of the land of Judah: | ||||||||||||||||||||
54 | 53 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 2 | and (the Levites are) they who joined them. And the sons of Zadok are the elect of Israel called by | ||||||||||||||||||||
55 | 54 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 3 | the name, that are holding office in the end of the days. Behold the statement of their names according to their generations, and the period of their office, and the number of their afflictions, and the years of their sojournings, and the statement of their works. | ||||||||||||||||||||
56 | 55 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 4 | The first saints whom God pardoned, Both justified the righteous, and condemned the wicked. | ||||||||||||||||||||
57 | 56 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 5 | And all they who come after them must do according to the interpretation of the Law, In which the forefathers were instructed until the consummation of the period of these years. | ||||||||||||||||||||
58 | 57 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 6 | In accordance with the covenant which God established with the forefathers in order to pardon their sins, so shall God make atonement for them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
59 | 58 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 7 | And on the consummation of the period [of the number] of these years they shall no more join themselves to the house of Judah. But shall every one stand up against his net. | ||||||||||||||||||||
60 | 59 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 8 | The wall shall have been built, the boundary been far removed. | ||||||||||||||||||||
61 | 60 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 9 | And during all these years Belial shall be let loose against Israel, as God spake through Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amos, saying: Fear and the pit and the snare are upon thee, O inhabitant of the land. | ||||||||||||||||||||
62 | 61 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 10 | This means the three nets of Belial, concerning which Levi the son of Jacob spake, by which he caught Israel and directed their faces to three kinds of righteousness. | ||||||||||||||||||||
63 | 62 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 11 | The first is fornication, the second is the wealth (of wickedness), the third is the pollution of the Sanctuary. | ||||||||||||||||||||
64 | 63 | 0014 | 1 | 6 | 12 | He that cometh up from this shall be caught by that, and he that escapeth from this shall be caught by that. | ||||||||||||||||||||
65 | 64 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 1 | The builders of the wall who walk after law-the law it is which talks, of which He said: Assuredly they shall talk-are caught [by two] by fornication in taking two wives during their lifetime. | ||||||||||||||||||||
66 | 65 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 2 | But the fundamental principle of the creation Male and Female created He them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
67 | 66 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 4 | And they who went into the Ark, Two and two went into the Ark. And as to the prince it is written, | ||||||||||||||||||||
68 | 67 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 5 | He shall not multiply wives unto himself. But David read not in the Book of the Law that was sealed, which was in the Ark; for it was not opened in Israel from the day of the death of Eleazar and | ||||||||||||||||||||
69 | 68 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 6 | Joshua, and the Elders who served Ashtaroth. And it was hidden (and was not) discovered until | ||||||||||||||||||||
70 | 69 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 7 | Zadok arose: Now they glorified the deeds of David save only the blood of Uriah, and God abandoned them to him | ||||||||||||||||||||
71 | 70 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 8 | And they also pollute the Sanctuary since they separate not according to the Law, and lie with | ||||||||||||||||||||
72 | 71 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 9 | her who sees the blood of her issue. And they take (to wife) each his brothers daughter or his | ||||||||||||||||||||
73 | 72 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 10 | sisters daughter. But Moses said Thou shalt not approach thy mothers sister: she is thy is mothers near kin. So the law of intercourse for males is written, and the same law holds for females; and let not the daughter of the brother uncover the nakedness of the brother of her father: he is near of kin. | ||||||||||||||||||||
74 | 73 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 12 | They also polluted their holy spirit and with a tongue of blasphemies they opened the mouth | ||||||||||||||||||||
75 | 74 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 13 | against the statutes of the covenant of God, saying: They are not established. But abominations they speak regarding them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
76 | 75 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 14 | They are all kindlers of fire and setters aflame of firebrands: | ||||||||||||||||||||
77 | 76 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 15 | The webs of spiders are their weavings and the eggs of cockatrices are their eggs: | ||||||||||||||||||||
78 | 77 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 16 | He who comes near them shall not be innocent: He that chooseth them shall be held guilty [unless he was forced]. | ||||||||||||||||||||
79 | 78 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 17 | Aforetime God visited their works, and His wrath was kindled because of their devices. | ||||||||||||||||||||
80 | 79 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 18 | For it is a people of no understanding: They are a nation void of counsel, (Because there is no understanding in them). | ||||||||||||||||||||
81 | 80 | 0014 | 1 | 7 | 19 | For aforetime arose Moses and Aaron through the prince of the Lights. But Belial raised Jochanneh and his brother with his evil device when the former delivered Israel. | ||||||||||||||||||||
82 | 81 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 1 | And during the period of the destruction of the land there arose those who removed the landmark | ||||||||||||||||||||
83 | 82 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 2 | and led Israel astray. And the land became desolate because they spake rebellion against the commandments of God through Moses [and also through His holy anointed one], and they prophesied a lie to turn away Israel from God. | ||||||||||||||||||||
84 | 83 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 3 | But God remembered the covenant with the forefathers: And He raised up from Aaron men of understanding. And from Israel wise men | ||||||||||||||||||||
85 | 84 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 4 | And He made them to hearken, And they digged the well | ||||||||||||||||||||
86 | 85 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 5 | A well the princes digged, The nobles of the people delved it By the order of the Lawgiver. | ||||||||||||||||||||
87 | 86 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 6 | The well is the Law, and they who digged it are the penitents of Israel who went forth out of the land of Judah and sojourned in the land of Damascus, all of whom God called princes. | ||||||||||||||||||||
88 | 87 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 7 | For they sought Him and His glory was not turned back in the mouth of one (of them). And the Lawgiver is he who studies the Law, in regard to whom Isaiah said, He bringeth forth an instrument for his work. And the nobles of the people are those who came to dig the well by the precepts in the which the Lawgiver ordained that they should walk throughout the full period of the wickedness. | ||||||||||||||||||||
89 | 88 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 10 | And save them they shall get nothing until there arises the Teacher of Righteousness in the end of the days. | ||||||||||||||||||||
90 | 89 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 11 | And none who have entered into the covenant shall enter into the Sanctuary to kindle His altar but they shall shut the doors concerning whom God said, 0 that there was one among you to shut the doors, So that ye might not vainly kindle the tire upon My altar, | ||||||||||||||||||||
91 | 90 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 12 | Unless they observe to do according to the true meaning of the Law until the period of the wickedness, and to sever themselves from the children of the pit, and to hold aloof from the polluted wealth of wickedness under a vow and a curse, and from the wealth of the Sanctuary: | ||||||||||||||||||||
92 | 91 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 13 | And in respect to robbing the pool of His people, So that widows may be their spoil. And they may murder the fatherless: | ||||||||||||||||||||
93 | 92 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 14 | And to make a difference between the clean and the unclean and to make men discern between, the holy and the profane: | ||||||||||||||||||||
94 | 93 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 15 | And to observe the Sabbath according to its true meaning and the feasts and the day of the Fast according to the utterances of them who entered into the New Covenant in the land of Damascus: | ||||||||||||||||||||
95 | 94 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 16 | To contribute their holy things according to the true interpretation: | ||||||||||||||||||||
96 | 95 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 17 | To love every one his brother as himself, and to strengthen the hand of the poor and the needy and the stranger, and to seek every one the peace of his brother | ||||||||||||||||||||
97 | 96 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 18 | To hold aloof from harlots according to the law: and that no man should commit a trespass against his next of kin: | ||||||||||||||||||||
98 | 97 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 19 | To rebuke every one his brother according to the commandment, and not to bear a grudge from day to day, and to separate from all the pollutions according to their judgments | ||||||||||||||||||||
99 | 98 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 20 | And no man shall make abominable (with these) his holy spirit, according as God separated (these) from them. | ||||||||||||||||||||
100 | 99 | 0014 | 1 | 8 | 21 | As for all those who walk in these things in the perfection of holiness according to all the ordinances, the covenant of God |
