² Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to the age.

²² and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth, and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?'

⁶ For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance.

¹³ and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, `one' like to a son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast with a golden girdle,

¹⁴ and his head and hairs white, as if white wool -- as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire;

¹⁵ and his feet like to fine brass, as in a furnace having been fired, and his voice as a sound of many waters,

¹⁶ and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his countenance `is' as the sun shining in its might.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I am the First and the Last,

¹⁸ and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of the hades and of the death.

²⁶ For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

³ who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,

⁴ having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.

¹⁴ And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.

¹⁷ For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young men, And new wine the virgins -- make fruitful!

⁴ The Lord Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught ones, To know to aid the weary `by' a word, He waketh morning by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones.

⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that `is' above every name,

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ `is' Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

⁴⁶ The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.'

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

¹ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah `is' on me, Because Jehovah did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And to bound ones an opening of bands.

¹⁰ My beloved `is' clear and ruddy, Conspicuous above a myriad!

¹¹ His head `is' pure gold -- fine gold, His locks flowing, dark as a raven,

¹² His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk, sitting in fulness.

¹³ His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His lips `are' lilies, dropping flowing myrrh,

¹⁴ His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright ivory, covered with sapphires,

¹⁵ His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars.

¹⁶ His mouth is sweetness -- and all of him desirable, This `is' my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!

³ As a citron among trees of the forest, So `is' my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit `is' sweet to my palate.

¹¹ Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace `are' his lips, a king `is' his friend.

¹⁷ His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do pronounce him happy.

¹⁸ Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing wonders,

¹⁹ And blessed `is' the Name of His honour to the age, And the whole earth is filled `with' His honour. Amen, and amen!

¹⁵ who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all creation,

¹⁶ because in him were the all things created, those in the heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether principalities, whether authorities; all things through him, and for him, have been created,

¹⁷ and himself is before all, and the all things in him have consisted.

¹⁸ And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all `things' -- himself -- first,
