1 וַיָּשָׁב וַיָּבוֹא אֶל־בֵּית הַכְּנֵסֶת וְשָׁם־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָדוֹ יְבֵשָׁה | 1 Another time he went into the synagogue, and there was a man present whose hand was withered. |
2 וַיִּתְבּוֹנְנוּ בוֹ אִם־יִרְפָּאֵהוּ בַּשַּׁבָּת לְמַעַן יִמְצְאוּ עָלָיו שִׂטְנָה | 2 And they were watching him to see if he would cure him on the Sabbath day, hoping for something tocharge him with. |
3 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָבְשָׁה יָדוֹ קוּם עֲמֹד בַּתָּוֶךְ | 3 He said to the man with the withered hand, 'Get up and stand in the middle!' |
4 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֲנָכוֹן בַּשַּׁבָּת לְהֵיטִיב אוֹ לְהָרֵעַ לְהַצִּיל נֶפֶשׁ אוֹ לְאַבְּדָהּ וַיַּחֲרִישׁוּ | 4 Then he said to them, 'Is it permitted on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to kil ?'But they said nothing. |
5 וַיַּבֵּט אֲלֵיהֶם סָבִיב בְּחֵמָה וַיִּתְעַצֵּב עַל־טִמְטוּם לְבָבָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָאִישׁ פְּשֹׁט אֶת־יָדֶךָ וַיִּפְשֹׁט יָדוֹ וַתֵּרָפֵא וַתָּשָׁב כָּאַחֶרֶת | 5 Then he looked angrily round at them, grieved to find them so obstinate, and said to the man, 'Stretchout your hand.' He stretched it out and his hand was restored. |
6 וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים יָצְאוּ מְהֵרָה וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ עָלָיו עִם־הַהוֹרְדוֹסִיִּים לְאַבְּדוֹ | 6 The Pharisees went out and began at once to plot with the Herodians against him, discussing how todestroy him. |
7 וְיֵשׁוּעַ סָר מִשָּׁם עִם־תַּלְמִידָיו אֶל־יַד הַיָּם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו הֲמוֹן עַם־רָב מִן־הַגָּלִיל וּמִיהוּדָה | 7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lakeside, and great crowds from Galilee fol owed him. FromJudaea, |
8 וּמִירוּשָׁלַיִם וּמֵאֱדוֹם וּמֵעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן וּמִסְּבִיבוֹת צוֹר וְצִידוֹן הָמוֹן רָב אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו | 8 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea and Transjordan and the region of Tyre and Sidon, greatnumbers who had heard of al he was doing came to him. |
9 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו כִּי יָכִינוּ לוֹ אֳנִיָּה קְטַנָּה מִפְּנֵי הָעָם לְמַעַן לֹא יִלְחָצוּהוּ | 9 And he asked his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, to keep him from beingcrushed. |
10 כִּי רָפָא לְרַבִּים עַד כִּי־הִתְנַפְּלוּ עָלָיו כָּל־הַמְנֻגָּעִים לִנְגֹּעַ בּוֹ | 10 For he had cured so many that al who were afflicted in any way were crowding forward to touch him. |
11 וְהָרוּחוֹת הַטְּמֵאוֹת כִּרְאֹתָן אוֹתוֹ נָפְלוּ לְפָנָיו וַתִּצְעַקְנָה לֵאמֹר אַתָּה הוּא בֶּן־אֱלֹהִים | 11 And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, would fal down before him and shout, 'You are theSon of God!' |
12 וַיִּגְעַר בָּהֶן מְאֹד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תְגַלֶּינָה אוֹתוֹ | 12 But he warned them strongly not to make him known. |
13 וַיַּעַל אֶל־הָהָר וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא חָפֵץ בָּם וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו | 13 He now went up onto the mountain and summoned those he wanted. So they came to him |
14 וַיָּשֶׂם שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר אִישׁ לְמַעַן יִהְיוּ אִתּוֹ וּלְמַעַן יְשַׁלְּחֵם לִקְרֹא הַבְּשׂוֹרָה | 14 and he appointed twelve; they were to be his companions and to be sent out to proclaim the message, |
15 וְהָיָה לָהֶם הַשָּׁלְטָן לִרְפֹּא אֶת־הַתַּחֲלֻאִים וּלְגָרֵשׁ אֶת־הַשֵּׁדִים | 15 with power to drive out devils. |
16 וַיַּפְקֵד אֶת־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וַיְכַנֶּה אֶת־שִׁמְעוֹן בְּשֵׁם פֶּטְרוֹס | 16 And so he appointed the Twelve, Simon to whom he gave the name Peter, |
17 וְאֶת־יַעֲקֹב בֶּן־זַבְדַּי וְאֵת יוֹחָנָן אֲחִי יַעֲקֹב וַיְכַנֶּה אֹתָם בְּשֵׁם בְּנֵי־רְגוֹשׁ הוּא בְּנֵי־רָעַם | 17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom he gave the name Boanerges or'Sons of Thunder'; |
18 וְאֵת אַנְדְּרַי וְאֵת פִילִפּוֹס וְאֵת בַּר־תַּלְמַי וְאֵת מַתַּי וְאֶת־תּוֹמָא וְאֶת־יַעֲקֹב בֶּן־חַלְפַי וְאֶת־תַּדַּי וְאֵת שִׁמְעוֹן הַקַּנָּי | 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon theZealot |
19 וְאֶת־יְהוּדָה אִישׁ קְרִיּוֹת אֲשֶׁר גַּם־מְסָרוֹ | 19 and Judas Iscariot, the man who was to betray him. |
20 וַיָּבֹאוּ הַבָּיְתָה וַיָּשָׁב הֲמוֹן הָעָם לְהִתְאַסֵּף עַד כִּי־לֹא יָכְלוּ אַף לֶאֱכָל־לָחֶם | 20 He went home again, and once more such a crowd col ected that they could not even have a meal. |
21 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ קְרוֹבָיו וַיֵּצְאוּ לְהַחֲזִיק בּוֹ כִּי אָמְרוּ יָצָא מִדַּעְתּוֹ | 21 When his relations heard of this, they set out to take charge of him; they said, 'He is out of his mind.' |
22 וְהַסּוֹפְרִים אֲשֶׁר יָרְדוּ מִירוּשָׁלַיִם אָמְרוּ כִּי בַעַל־זְבוּב נִכְנַס בּוֹ וְעַל־יְדֵי שַׂר־הַשֵּׁדִים הוּא מְגָרֵשׁ אֶת־הַשֵּׁדִים | 22 The scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, 'Beelzebul is in him,' and, 'It is throughthe prince of devils that he drives devils out.' |
23 וַיִּקְרָא אוֹתָם אֵלָיו וַיְדַבֵּר לָהֶם בִּמְשָׁלִים לֵאמֹר אֵיךְ יוּכַל הַשָּׂטָן לְגָרֵשׁ הַשָּׂטָן | 23 So he cal ed them to him and spoke to them in parables, |
24 וְאִם־נֶחְלְקָה מַמְלָכָה עַל־עַצְמָהּ לֹא־תוּכַל לַעֲמֹד הַמַּמְלָכָה הַהִיא | 24 'How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last. |
25 וּבַיִת אִם־נֶחֱלַק עַל־עַצְמוֹ לֹא־יוּכַל לַעֲמֹד הַבַּיִת הַהוּא | 25 And if a household is divided against itself, that household can never last. |
26 וְאִם־הַשָּׂטָן יִתְקוֹמֵם אֶל־עַצְמוֹ וְנֶחֱלַק לֹא־יוּכַל לַעֲמֹד כִּי־בָא קִצּוֹ | 26 Now if Satan has rebel ed against himself and is divided, he cannot last either -- it is the end of him. |
27 אֵין אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָכֹל לָבוֹא לְבֵית הַגִּבּוֹר וְלִגְזֹל אֶת־כֵּלָיו אִם־לֹא יֶאֱסֹר בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה אֶת־הַגִּבּוֹר וְאַחַר יִשְׁסֶה אֶת־בֵּיתוֹ | 27 But no one can make his way into a strong man's house and plunder his property unless he has firsttied up the strong man. Only then can he plunder his house. |
28 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי כָל־הַחֲטָאִים יִסָּלְחוּ לִבְנֵי אָדָם וְכָל־הַגִּדּוּפִים אֲשֶׁר יְגַדֵּפוּ | 28 'In truth I tel you, al human sins will be forgiven, and al the blasphemies ever uttered; |
29 אַךְ הַמְגַדֵּף אֶת־רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ אֵין־לוֹ סְלִיחָה לְעוֹלָם כִּי־יֶאְשָׁם בַּעֲוֺנוֹ לָנֶצַח | 29 but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternalsin.' |
30 כִּי־הֵמָּה אָמְרוּ רוּחַ טֻמְאָה בּוֹ | 30 This was because they were saying, 'There is an unclean spirit in him.' |
31 וַיָּבֹאוּ אִמּוֹ וְאֶחָיו וַיַּעַמְדוּ מִחוּץ לַבָּיִת וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ אֵלָיו לִקְרֹא לוֹ | 31 Now his mother and his brothers arrived and, standing outside, sent in a message asking for him. |
32 וַהֲמוֹן הָעָם יָשְׁבוּ סְבִיבָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הִנֵּה אִמְּךָ וְאַחֶיךָ בַּחוּץ מְבַקְשִׁים אוֹתָךְ | 32 A crowd was sitting round him at the time the message was passed to him, 'Look, your mother andbrothers and sisters are outside asking for you.' |
33 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מִי הֵם אִמִּי וְאֶחָי | 33 He replied, 'Who are my mother and my brothers?' |
34 וַיַּבֵּט סָבִיב אֶל־הַיּשְׁבִים סְבִיבָיו וַיֹּאמַר הִנֵּה אִמִּי וְאֶחָי | 34 And looking at those sitting in a circle round him, he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. |
35 כִּי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה רְצוֹן הָאֱלֹהִים הוּא אָחִי וַאֲחוֹתִי וְאִמִּי | 35 Anyone who does the wil of God, that person is my brother and sister and mother.' |
