STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 אָז בָּאוּ אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר מִירוּשָׁלָיִם	1 Then the scribes and the Pharisees came to him from Jerusalem, saying:
2 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מַדּוּעַ תַּלְמִידֶיךָ עֹבְרִים אֵת קַבָּלַת הַזְּקֵנִים כִּי אֵינָם רֹחֲצִים אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם בְּאָכְלָם לָחֶם	2 “Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.”
3 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַדּוּעַ גַּם־אַתֶּם עֹבְרִים אֶת־מִצְוַת אֱלֹהִים בַּעֲבוּר קַבָּלַתְכֶם	3 But responding, he said to them: “And why do you transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said:
4 כִּי אֱלֹהִים צִוָּה לֵאמֹר כַּבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיךָ וְאֶת אִמֶּךָ וּמְקַלֵּל אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ מוֹת יוּמָת	4 ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘Whoever will have cursed father or mother shall die a death.’
5 וְאַתֶּם אֹמְרִים הָאֹמֵר לְאָבִיו וּלְאִמּוֹ מִנְחָה לַיהוָֹה כֹּל מַה־שֶּׁאַתָּה נֶהֱנֶה מִמֶּנִּי אֵין עָלָיו לְכַבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיו וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ	5 But you say: ‘If anyone will have said to father or mother, “It is dedicated, so that whatever is from me will benefit you,”
6 וַתָּפֵרוּ אֶת־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים בַּעֲבוּר קַבָּלַתְכֶם	6 then he shall not honor his father or his mother.’ So have you nullified the commandment of God, for the sake of your tradition.
7 חֲנֵפִים הֵיטֵב נִבָּא עֲלֵיכֶם יְשַׁעְיָהוּ לֵאמֹר	7 Hypocrites! How well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 הָעָם הַזֶּה נִגַּשׁ בְּפִיו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו כִּבְּדוּנִי וְלִבּוֹ רִחַק מִמֶּנִּי	8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
9 וְתֹהוּ יִרְאָתָם אֹתִי מִצְוֺת אֲנָשִׁים מְלַמְּדִים	9 For in vain do they worship me, teaching the doctrines and commandments of men.’ ”
10 וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְעוּ וְהָבִינוּ	10 And having called the multitudes to him, he said to them: “Listen and understand.
11 לֹא הַבָּא אֶל־הַפֶּה יְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם כִּי אִם־הַיּוֹצֵא מִן־הַפֶּה הוּא מְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם	11 A man is not defiled by what enters into the mouth, but by what proceeds from the mouth. This is what defiles a man.”
12 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ הֲיָדַעְתָּ כִּי הַפְּרוּשִׁים בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה נִכְשְׁלוּ־בוֹ	12 Then his disciples drew near and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees, upon hearing this word, were offended?”
13 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר כָּל־מַטָּע אֲשֶׁר לֹא נָטַע אָבִי שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם עָקוֹר יֵעָקֵר	13 But in response he said: “Every plant which has not been planted by my heavenly Father shall be uprooted.
14 הַנִּיחוּ אוֹתָם מְנַהֲלִים עִוְרִים הֵמָּה לַעִוְרִים וְכִי־יוֹלִיךְ עִוֵּר אֶת־הָעִוֵּר וְנָפְלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּתוֹךְ הַבּוֹר	14 Leave them alone. They are blind, and they lead the blind. But if the blind are in charge of the blind, both will fall into the pit.”
15 וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו בָּאֵר לָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה	15 And responding, Peter said to him, “Explain this parable to us.”
16 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ הַעוֹד גַּם־אַתֶּם בְּאֵין בִּינָה	16 But he said: “Are you, even now, without understanding?
17 הַעוֹד לֹא תַשְׂכִּילוּ כִּי כָל־הַבָּא אֶל־הַפֶּה יוֹרֵד אֶל־הַכֶּרֶשׂ וְיִשָּׁפֵךְ מִשָּׁם לְמוֹצָאוֹת	17 Do you not understand that everything that enters into the mouth goes into the gut, and is cast into the sewer?
18 אֲבָל הַיּוֹצֵא מִן־הַפֶּה יוֹצֵא מִן־הַלֵּב וְהוּא מְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם	18 But what proceeds from the mouth, goes forth from the heart, and those are the things that defile a man.
19 כִּי מִן־הַלֵּב יוֹצְאוֹת מַחְשְׁבוֹת רָע רְצִיחוֹת נִאוּפִים זְנוּנִים גְּנֵבוֹת עֵדֻיּוֹת שֶׁקֶר וְגִדּוּפִים	19 For from the heart go out evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies.
20 אֵלֶּה הֵם הַמְטַמְּאִים אֶת־הָאָדָם אֲבָל אָכוֹל בְּלִי נְטִילַת יָדַיִם לֹא יְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם	20 These are the things that defile a man. But to eat without washing hands does not defile a man.”
21 וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ מִשָּׁם וַיָּסַר אֶל־גְּלִילוֹת צוֹר וְצִידוֹן	21 And departing from there, Jesus withdrew into the areas of Tyre and Sidon.
22 וְהִנֵּה אִשָּׁה כְנַעֲנִית יָצְאָה מִן־הַגְּבוּלוֹת הָהֵם וַתִּצְעַק אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר חָנֵּנִי אֲדֹנִי בֶן־דָּוִד כִּי בִתִּי מְעֻנָּה מְאֹד עַל־יְדֵי שֵׁד	22 And behold, a woman of Canaan, going out from those parts, cried out, saying to him: “Take pity on me, Lord, Son of David. My daughter is badly afflicted by a demon.”
23 וְהוּא לֹא־עָנָה אֹתָהּ דָּבָר וַיִּגְּשׁוּ תַלְמִידָיו וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לֵאמֹר שַׁלְּחֶהָ כִּי־צֹעֶקֶת הִיא אַחֲרֵינוּ	23 He did not say a word to her. And his disciples, drawing near, petitioned him, saying: “Dismiss her, for she is crying out after us.”
24 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר לֹא שֻׁלַּחְתִּי כִּי אִם־אֶל־הַצֹּאן הָאֹבְדוֹת לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל	24 And responding, he said, “I was not sent except to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.”
25 וְהִיא בָאָה וַתִּשְׁתַּחוּ לוֹ לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי עָזְרֵנִי	25 But she approached and adored him, saying, “Lord, help me.”
26 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא טוֹב לָקַחַת אֶת־לֶחֶם הַבָּנִים וּלְהַשְׁלִיכוֹ לִצְעִירֵי הַכְּלָבִים	26 And responding, he said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.”
27 וַתֹּאמַר כֵּן אֲדֹנִי אֶפֶס כִּי־גַם־צְעִירֵי הַכְּלָבִים יֹאכְלוּ מִפֵּרוּרִים הַנֹּפְלִים מֵעַל־שֻׁלְחַן אֲדֹנֵיהֶם	27 But she said, “Yes, Lord, but the young dogs also eat from the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.”
28 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אִשָּׁה גָּדְלָה אֱמוּנָתֵךְ יְהִי־לָךְ כִּרְצוֹנֵךְ וַתֵּרָפֵא בִתָּהּ מִן־הַשָּׁעָה הַהִיא	28 Then Jesus, responding, said to her: “O woman, great is your faith. Let it be done for you just as you wish.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
29 וַיַּעֲבֹר יֵשׁוּעַ מִשָּׁם וַיָּבֹא אֶל־יַם הַגָּלִיל וַיַּעַל הָהָרָה וַיֵּשֶׁב שָׁם	29 And when Jesus had passed from there, he arrived beside the sea of Galilee. And ascending onto a mountain, he sat down there.
30 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וְעִמָּהֶם פִּסְּחִים עִוְרִים חֵרְשִׁים קִטְּעִים וְרַבִּים כָּהֵמָּה וַיַּנִּיחוּם לְרַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּרְפָּאֵם	30 And great multitudes came to him, having with them the mute, the blind, the lame, the disabled, and many others. And they cast them down at his feet, and he cured them,
31 וַיִּתְמְהוּ הָעָם בִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־הָאִלְּמִים מְדַבְּרִים וְהַקִּטְּעִים בְּרִיאִים וְהַפִּסְּחִים מִתְהַלְּכִים וְהַעִוְרִים רֹאִים וַיְשַׁבְּחוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל	31 so much so that the crowds wondered, seeing the mute speaking, the lame walking, the blind seeing. And they magnified the God of Israel.
32 וַיִּקְרָא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמַר נִכְמְרוּ רַחֲמַי עַל־הָעָם כִּי־זֶה שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים עָמְדוּ עִמָּדִי וְאֵין לָהֶם מַה־לֶּאֱכֹל וְאֵינֶנִּי אֹבֶה לְשַׁלְּחָם רְעֵבִים פֶּן־יִתְעַלְּפוּ בַּדָּרֶךְ	32 And Jesus, calling together his disciples, said: “I have compassion on the crowds, because they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat. And I am not willing to dismiss them, fasting, lest they faint along the way.”
33 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הַתַּלְמִידִים מֵאַיִן לָנוּ דֵּי־לֶחֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר לְהַשְׂבִּיעַ אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה	33 And the disciples said to him: “From where, then, in the desert, would we obtain enough bread to satisfy so a great multitude?”
34 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם כַּמָּה כִּכְּרוֹת לֶחֶם לָכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ שֶׁבַע וּמְעַט דָּגִים קְטַנִּים	34 And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” But they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 וַיְצַו אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם לָשֶׁבֶת לָאָרֶץ	35 And he instructed the crowds to recline upon the ground.
36 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־שֶׁבַע כִּכְּרוֹת הַלֶּחֶם וְאֵת הַדָּגִים וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּפְרֹס וַיִּתֵּן אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים וְהַתַּלְמִידִים נָתְנוּ לָעָם	36 And taking the seven loaves and the fish, and giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.
37 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים הַנּוֹתָרִים שִׁבְעָה דּוּדִים מְלֵאִים	37 And they all ate and were satisfied. And, from what was left over of the fragments, they took up seven full baskets.
38 וְהָאֹכְלִים הָיוּ אַרְבַּעַת אַלְפֵי אִישׁ מִלְּבַד הַנָּשִׁים וְהַטָּף	38 But those who ate were four thousand men, plus children and women.
39 וַיְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעָם וַיֵּרֶד בָּאֳנִיָּה וַיָּבֹא אֶל־גְּבוּל מַגְדְּלָא	39 And having dismissed the crowd, he climbed into a boat. And he went into the coastal region of Magadan.
