Matthew 4

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil.	1 אָז נָשָׂא הָרוּחַ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַמִּדְבָּרָה לְמַעַן יְנַסֵּהוּ הַשָּׂטָן
2 He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry,	2 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי צוּמוֹ אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לָיְלָה וַיִּרְעָב
3 and the tester came and said to him, 'If you are Son of God, tel these stones to turn into loaves.'	3 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו הַמְנַסֶּה וַיֹּאמַר אִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה אֱמֹר לָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה וְתִהְיֶינָה לְלָחֶם
4 But he replied, 'Scripture says: Human beings live not on bread alone but on every word that comesfrom the mouth of God.'	4 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר הֵן כָּתוּב לֹא עַל־הַלֶּחֶם לְבַדּוֹ יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם כִּי עַל־כָּל־מוֹצָא פִי־יְהוָֹה
5 The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet of the Temple.	5 וַיִּשָּׂאֵהוּ הַשָּׂטָן אֶל־עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיַּעֲמִידֵהוּ עַל־פִּנַּת בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ
6 'If you are Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down; for scripture says: He has given his angels ordersabout you, and they will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.'	6 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה הַשְׁלֵךְ עַצְמְךָ לְמָטָּה כִּי כָתוּב כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ וְעַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶךָ
7 Jesus said to him, 'Scripture also says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'	7 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ וְעוֹד כָּתוּב לֹא תְנַסֶּה אֵת יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ
8 Next, taking him to a very high mountain, the devil showed him al the kingdoms of the world and theirsplendour.	8 וַיּוֹסֶף הַשָּׂטָן וַיִּשָּׂאֵהוּ אֶל־הַר גָּבֹהַּ מְאֹד וַיַּרְאֵהוּ אֶת־כָּל מַמְלְכוֹת תֵּבֵל וּכְבוֹדָן
9 And he said to him, 'I wil give you al these, if you fal at my feet and do me homage.'	9 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֶת־כֹּל־זֹאת לְךָ אֶתְּנֶּנָּה אִם־תִּקֹּד וְתִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לִי
10 Then Jesus replied, 'Away with you, Satan! For scripture says: The Lord your God is the one to whomyou must do homage, him alone you must serve.'	10 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ סוּר מִמֶּנִּי הַשָּׂטָן כִּי כָתוּב לַיהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ תִּשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְאוֹתוֹ לְבַדּוֹ תַּעֲבֹד
11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.	11 וַיִּרֶף מִמֶּנּוּ הַשָּׂטָן וְהִנֵּה נִגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו מַלְאָכִים וַיְשָׁרְתוּהוּ
12 Hearing that John had been arrested he withdrew to Galilee,	12 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעוֹ כִּי הִסְגִּירוּ אֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיֵּלֶךְ־לוֹ אֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל
13 and leaving Nazara he went and settled in Capernaum, beside the lake, on the borders of Zebulun andNaphtali.	13 וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת־נְצֶרֶת וַיָּבֹא וַיֵּשֶׁב בִּכְפַר־נַחוּם אֲשֶׁר עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם בִּגְבוּל זְבֻלוּן וְנַפְתָּלִי
14 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:	14 לְמַלֹּאת הַנֶּאֱמָר עַל־פִּי יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר
15 Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali! Way of the sea beyond Jordan. Galilee of the nations!	15 אַרְצָה זְבֻלוּן וְאַרְצָה נַפְתָּלִי דֶּרֶךְ הַיָּם עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן גְּלִיל הַגּוֹיִם
16 The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a country of shadowdark as death a light has dawned.	16 הָעָם הַהֹלְכִים בַּחשֶׁךְ רָאוּ אוֹר גָּדוֹל וְישְׁבֵי בְּאֶרֶץ צַלְמָוֶת אוֹר נָגַהּ עֲלֵיהֶם
17 From then onwards Jesus began his proclamation with the message, 'Repent, for the kingdom ofHeaven is close at hand.'	17 מִן־הָעֵת הַהִיא הֵחֵל יֵשׁוּעַ לִקְרֹא קָרוֹא וְאָמוֹר שׁוּבוּ כִּי הִגִּיעָה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמָיִם
18 As he was walking by the Lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was cal ed Peter, and hisbrother Andrew; they were making a cast into the lake with their net, for they were fishermen.	18 וּבְהִתְהַלֵּךְ יֵשׁוּעַ עַל־יַד יַם־הַגָּלִיל וַיַּרְא שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אֶת־שִׁמְעוֹן הַנִּקְרָא פֶטְרוֹס וְאֶת אַנְדְּרַי אָחִיו וְהֵמָּה מַשְׁלִיכִים מְצוֹדָה בַּיָּם כִּי דַיָּגִים הָיוּ
19 And he said to them, 'Come after me and I wil make you fishers of people.'	19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ אַחֲרָי וַאֲשִׂימְכֶם לְדַיָּגֵי אֲנָשִׁים
20 And at once they left their nets and followed him.	20 וַיַּעַזְבוּ מְהֵרָה אֵת הַמִּכְמֹרוֹת וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו
21 Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John;they were in their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he cal ed them.	21 וַיְהִי כְּעָבְרוֹ מִשָּׁם וַיַּרְא שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אֲחֵרִים אֶת־יַעֲקֹב בֶּן־זַבְדַּי וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן אָחִיו בָּאֳנִיָּה עִם־זַבְדַּי אֲבִיהֶם מְתַקְּנִים אֶת־מִכְמְרוֹתָם וַיִּקְרָא אֲלֵיהֶם
22 And at once, leaving the boat and their father, they fol owed him.	22 וַיַּעַזְבוּ מִיָּד אֶת־הָאֳנִיָּה וְאֶת־אֲבִיהֶם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו
23 He went round the whole of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of thekingdom and curing al kinds of disease and il ness among the people.	23 וַיָּסָב יֵשׁוּעַ בְּכָל־הַגָּלִיל וַיְלַמֵּד בְּבָתֵּי כְנֵסִיּוֹתֵיהֶם וַיְבַשֵּׂר בְּשׂוֹרַת הַמַּלְכוּת וַיְרַפֵּא כָּל־מַחֲלָה וְכָל־מַדְוֶה בָּעָם
24 His fame spread throughout Syria, and those who were suffering from diseases and painful complaintsof one kind or another, the possessed, epileptics, the paralysed, were all brought to him, and he cured them.	24 וַיֵּצֵא שִׁמְעוֹ בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ סוּרְיָא וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו אֵת כָּל־הַחוֹלִים הַמְעֻנִּים בְּכָל־חֳלָיִם וּמַכְאוֹבִים וַאֲחוּזֵי שֵׁדִים וּמֻכֵּי יָרֵחַ וּנְכֵי אֵבָרִים וַיִּרְפָּאֵם
25 Large crowds fol owed him, coming from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judaea and Transjordan.	25 וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו הֲמֹנִים הֲמֹנִים מִן־הַגָּלִיל וּמִן־עֶשֶׂר הֶעָרִים וּמִירוּשָׁלַיִם וִיהוּדָה וּמֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּן
