Ano novo

13 Achim b’Moshiach, I do not consider myself to have laid hold;* but one zach (thing) I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to the things ahead, 14 According to the tachlis I pursue the prize of the Shomayim Aliyah ascent of Hashem, the upward k’riah (call) of HaShem b’Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.*

12 Not that already I obtained or already have been made shleimut, but I pursue this tachlis (final end, aim) that I may lay hold of* cf. Pp 2:6 that for which I was laid hold of by Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.* 13 Achim b’Moshiach, I do not consider myself to have laid hold;* but one zach (thing) I do, forgetting the things behind, and stretching forward to the things ahead, 14 According to the tachlis I pursue the prize of the Shomayim Aliyah ascent of Hashem, the upward k’riah (call) of HaShem b’Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.* 15 Therefore, as many as would be shleimut, let us think like this:* and if in anything your machshavot (thoughts) are different,* even this Hashem will reveal to you.

17 So that if anyone is in Moshiach, he is a bria chadasha* (a new being): the old things passed away; hinei, all has become chadashot.*

3 Baruch Hashem, HaElohim Avi of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua! By his great rachamim (mercy) we have been born anew to a tikvah chayyah (living hope) through the Techiyas Yehoshua from HaMesim (the dead ones).

10 Make me to hear sasson and simchah;

that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.

11 Hide Thy face from my chatta’im,

and blot out all mine avonot.

7 Rest in Hashem, and wait patiently for Him;

fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his derech,

because of the ish who bringeth wicked schemes to pass.

8 The Malach Hashem encampeth round about them that fear Him,

and delivereth them.

31 But they that wait upon Hashem shall renew their ko’ach;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles;

they shall run, and not grow weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.

11 For I know the machshavot (thoughts, plans) that I think toward you, saith Hashem, machshavot shalom, and not of ra’ah, to give you an acharit (future) and a tikvah (hope).

25 Then will I sprinkle mayim tehorim upon you, and ye shall be tahor; from all your tum’a, and from all your gillulim (idols), will I make you tahor. 26 A lev chadash also will I give you, and a ruach chadashah will I put within you; and I will take away the lev haeven (stony heart) out of your basar, and I will give you a lev basar. 27 And I will put My Ruach* within you, and cause you to walk in My chukkot, and ye shall be shomer over My mishpatim, and do them.

14 And to all these things add ahavah, which is the agudah of tamimim. 15 And let the shalom of Moshiach arbitrate in your levavot. You were called to this shalom in one GUF.*; cf geviyah, Gn 47:18; cf basar, Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:11 Let there be todah in your levavot.

11 Hashem hath made every thing yafeh in its et (season); also He hath set HaOlam in their lev, yet so that no adam can find out the ma’aseh that HaElohim hath done from the beginning to the end.

10 For they disciplined us for a short time, as seemed tov to them, but Hashem disciplines us for tov lanu in order that we might share in his kedushah. 11 All musar for the moment seems not to be na’im (pleasant), but seems to bring agmat nefesh; yet afterwards to those who have been taught by musar, it yields the p’ri haShalom and the p’ri haTzedek.

13 Come now, you who say, "Hayom (today) or makhar (tomorrow) we will go into this or that city and we will do business there a year and will sell and make a revach (profit)." 14 Yet you do not even have da’as of what tomorrowʼs "yom" may bring. Look at your life! Are you not an ed (mist), appearing a short time, then indeed disappearing?* 15 Instead of this, you ought to say "Im yirtzeh Hashem" (if the L-rd wills) "we will live, also we will do this or that." 16 But now you boast in your pretensions. All such ravrevanut (boastfulness) is ra’ah (evil, wickedness). 17 To the one having da’as, therefore, knowing to do tov and not doing it, to him it is chet.
