Lettera agli Efesini - מכתב לאפסים 14

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 וַיְהִי בְּבֹאוֹ בַשַּׁבָּת אֶל־בֵּית אֶחָד מֵרָאשֵׁי הַפְּרוּשִׁים לֶאֱכֹל לָחֶם וְהֵמָּה אֹרְבִים לוֹ	1 And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2 וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ אֶחָד לְפָנָיו אֲשֶׁר גּוּפוֹ צָבָה מִמָּיִם	2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־בַּעֲלֵי הַתּוֹרָה וְאֶל־הַפְּרוּשִׁים לֵאמֹר הֲמֻתָּר לִרְפֹּא בַשַּׁבָּת אִם־לֹא וַיַּחֲרִישׁוּ	3 And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4 וַיֹּאחֶז־בּוֹ וַיִּרְפָּאֵהוּ וַיְשַׁלְּחֵהוּ	4 And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מִי מִכֶּם אֲשֶׁר חֲמֹרוֹ אוֹ שׁוֹרוֹ יִפּוֹל אֶל־הַבְּאֵר וְלֹא־יְמַהֵר לְהַעֲלוֹתוֹ בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת	5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6 וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לְהָשִׁיב עַל־זֹאת דָּבָר	6 And they could not answer him again to these things.
7 וַיִּשָּׂא מְשָׁלוֹ אֶל־הַקְּרוּאִים בִּרְאוֹתוֹ אֵיךְ בָּחֲרוּ לָהֶם לְהָסֵב בְּרֹאשׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם	7 And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
8 כִּי־יִקְרָא אֹתְךָ אִישׁ אֶל־הַחֲתֻנָּה אַל־תָּסֵב בְּרֹאשׁ פֶּן־יִקָּרֵא שָׁמָּה אִישׁ נִכְבָּד מִמֶּךָּ	8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
9 וּבָא הַקֹּרֵא אוֹתְךָ וְאוֹתוֹ וְאָמַר אֵלֶיךָ פַּנֵּה מָקוֹם לָזֶה וְאָז תָּקוּם בִּכְלִמָּה לָקַחַת אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם הָאַחֲרוֹן	9 And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
10 אֲבָל כִּי תִקָּרֵא לֵךְ וְהָסֵב בַּמָּקוֹם הָאַחֲרוֹן לְמַעַן יָבֹא הַקֹּרֵא אוֹתְךָ וְאָמַר אֵלֶיךָ אֲהוּבִי עֲלֵה לְמַעְלָה מִזֶּה וְהָיָה־לְךָ כָבוֹד לִפְנֵי הַמְסֻבִּים עִמָּךְ	10 But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
11 כִּי כָּל־הַמְרוֹמֵם אֶת־עַצְמוֹ יִשָּׁפֵל וְהַמַּשְׁפִּיל אֶת־עַצְמוֹ יְרוֹמָם	11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
12 וְגַם אֶל־הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר קָרָא אוֹתוֹ אָמַר כִּי תַעֲשֶׂה סְעוּדַת צָהֳרַיִם אוֹ סְעוּדַת עָרֶב אַל־תִּקְרָא לְאֹהֲבֶיךָ וּלְאַחֶיךָ וְלִקְרוֹבֶיךָ וְלִשְׁכֵנֶיךָ הָעֲשִׁירִים פֶּן־יִקְרְאוּ לְךָ גַּם־הֵמָּה וְהָיָה לְךָ לְשִׁלּוּם	12 Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
13 אֲבָל כִּי־תַעֲשֶׂה מִשְׁתֶּה קְרָא לַעֲנִיִּים וּלְנִשְׁבָּרִים וּלְפִסְחִים וּלְעִוְרִים	13 But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14 וְאַשְׁרֶיךָ בַּאֲשֶׁר אֵין־לָהֶם לְשַׁלֶּם־לָךְ כִּי יְשֻׁלַּם לְךָ בִּתְחִיַּת הַצַּדִּיקִים	14 And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
15 וַיִּשְׁמַע זֹאת אֶחָד מִן־הַמְסֻבִּים וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַשְׁרֵי הָאֹכֵל לֶחֶם בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	15 And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16 וְהוּא אָמַר אֵלָיו אִישׁ אֶחָד עָשָׂה סְעוּדָה גְדוֹלָה וַיִּקְרָא לָרַבִּים	16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
17 וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־עַבְדּוֹ לְעֵת הַסְּעוּדָה לֵאמֹר אֶל־הַקְּרוּאִים בֹּאוּ כִּי־כְבָר מוּכָן הַכֹּל	17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
18 וַיָּחֵלּוּ כֻלָּם פֶּה אֶחָד לְהִתְנַצֵּל וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָרִאשׁוֹן שָׂדֶה קָנִיתִי וְעָלַי לָצֵאת לִרְאֹתוֹ אֲבַקֵּשׁ מִמְּךָ נַקֵּנִי	18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19 וְאַחֵר אָמָר חֲמֵשֶׁת צִמְדֵי־בָקָר קָנִיתִי וַאֲנִי הֹלֵךְ לִבְחֹן אוֹתָם אֲבַקֵּשׁ מִמְּךָ נַקֵּנִי	19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20 וְאַחֵר אָמָר אִשָּׁה לָקַחְתִּי וּבַעֲבוּר זֹאת לֹא אוּכַל לָבוֹא	20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21 וַיָּבֹא הָעֶבֶד וַיַּגֵּד אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לַאדֹנָיו וַיִּקְצֹף בַּעַל הַבַּיִת וַיֹּאמֶר לְעַבְדּוֹ מַהֵר צֵא אֶל־רְחֹבוֹת הָעִיר וְאֶל־חוּצוֹתֶיהָ וְהָבֵא הֵנָּה אֶת־הָעֲנִיִּים וְאֶת־הַנִּשְׁבָּרִים וְאֶת־הַעִוְרִים וְאֶת־הַפִּסְחִים	21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22 וַיֹּאמֶר הָעֶבֶד אֲדֹנִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתָ כֵּן נַעֲשָׂה וְיֶשׁ־עוֹד מָקוֹם	22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
23 וַיֹּאמֶר הָאָדוֹן אֶל־הָעֶבֶד צֵא אֶל־הַדְּרָכִים וְאֶל־הַגְּדֵרוֹת וּפְצֹר בָּהֶם לָבוֹא לְמַעַן יִמָּלֵא בֵיתִי	23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 כִּי אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אֵין אֶחָד מִן־הָאֲנָשִׁים הַקְּרוּאִים הָהֵם אֲשֶׁר יִטְעַם סְעוּדָתִי	24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
25 וַהֲמוֹן עַם־רָב הֹלְכִים אִתּוֹ וַיִּפֶן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם	25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
26 אִישׁ כִּי־יָבוֹא אֵלַי וְלֹא יִשְׂנָא אֶת־אָבִיו וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ וְאֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאֶת־בָּנָיו וְאֶת־אֶחָיו וְאֶת־אַחְיֹתָיו וְאַף גַּם־אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לִהְיוֹת תַּלְמִידִי	26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 וַאֲשֶׁר לֹא יִשָּׂא אֶת־צְלָבוֹ וּבָא אַחֲרָי לֹא יוּכַל לִהְיוֹת תַּלְמִידִי	27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
28 כִּי מִי מִכֶּם הֶחָפֵץ לִבְנוֹת מִגְדָּל הֲלֹא יֵשֵׁב בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה וִיחַשֵּׁב אֶת־הַהוֹצָאוֹת אִם־הַשֵּׂג תַּשִּׂיג יָדוֹ לְהַשְׁלִימוֹ	28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
29 פֶּן־יָשִׂים אֶת־הַיְסוֹד וְלֹא־יוּכַל לְכַלּוֹתוֹ וְהָיָה כָּל־הָרֹאִים יָקוּמוּ לְהַלְעִיג־לוֹ לֵאמֹר	29 Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
30 כִּי־זֶה הָאִישׁ הֵחֵל לִבְנוֹת וְלֹא יָכֹל לְכַלּוֹת	30 Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 אוֹ מִי־הוּא הַמֶּלֶךְ הַקָּם לְהִתְגָּרוֹת מִלְחָמָה בְּמֶלֶךְ אַחֵר וְלֹא יֵשֵׁב בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה וְיִתְיָעֵץ אִם־יוּכַל בַּעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים לַעֲרֹךְ לִקְרַאת הַבָּא עָלָיו בְּעֶשְׂרִים אָלֶף	31 Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
32 וְאִם־לֹא וְשָׁלַח אֵלָיו מַלְאָכִים בְּעוֹדֶנּוּ רָחוֹק לְבַקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם	32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
33 כָּכָה כָּל־אִישׁ מִכֶּם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נִפְטַר מִכָּל־רְכוּשׁוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לִהְיוֹת תַּלְמִידִי	33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
34 טוֹב הַמֶּלַח וְאִם הַמֶּלַח הָיָה תָפֵל בַּמֶּה יְתֻקָּן	34 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
35 לֹא יִצְלַח גַּם לָאֲדָמָה גַּם לַדֹּמֶן הַחוּצָה יַשְׁלִיכֻהוּ מִי אֲשֶׁר אָזְנַיִם לוֹ לִשְׁמֹעַ יִשְׁמָע	35 It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
