Energy levels and weighted oscillator strengths for Be-like ions (Z = 14 -17, 19, 20) for soft X-ray laser research are reported. The transitions between the 2s3d, 2s4d, 2s5d even configuration and the 2s3p, 2s4f, 2s5f odd configurations are considered and multi-configuration HXR method involving optimization of radial integrals are used in the computations.
