Mark 6

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Leaving that district, he went to his home town, and his disciples accompanied him.	1 וַיֵּצֵא מִשָּׁם וַיָּבֹא אֶל־אַרְצוֹ וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו תַּלְמִידָיו
2 With the coming of the Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and most of them wereastonished when they heard him. They said, 'Where did the man get al this? What is this wisdom that has beengranted him, and these miracles that are worked through him?	2 וּבְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת הֵחֵל לְלַמֵּד בְּבֵית הַכְּנֵסֶת וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ רַבִּים וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ לֵאמֹר מֵאַיִן לָזֶה כָּאֵלֶּה וּמַה־הִיא הַחָכְמָה הַנְּתוּנָה לוֹ עַד־אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשֹוּ גְּבוּרוֹת כָּאֵלֶּה עַל־יָדָיו
3 This is the carpenter, surely, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joset and Jude and Simon? Hissisters, too, are they not here with us?' And they would not accept him.	3 הֲלֹא זֶה הוּא הֶחָרָשׁ בֶּן־מִרְיָם וַאֲחִי יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵי וִיהוּדָה וְשִׁמְעוֹן וַהֲלֹא אַחְיוֹתָיו אִתָּנוּ פֹה וַיְהִי לָהֶם לְמִכְשׁוֹל
4 And Jesus said to them, 'A prophet is despised only in his own country, among his own relations and inhis own house';	4 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אֵין הַנָּבִיא נִקְלֶה כִּי אִם־בְּאַרְצוֹ וּבֵין קְרוֹבָיו וּבְבֵיתוֹ
5 and he could work no miracle there, except that he cured a few sick people by laying his hands onthem.	5 וְלֹא יָכֹל לַעֲשׂוֹת שָׁם פֶּלֶא רַק עַל־חַלָּשִׁים מְעַטִּים שָׂם אֶת־יָדָיו וַיִּרְפָּאֵם
6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. He made a tour round the vil ages, teaching.	6 וַיִּתְמַהּ עַל־חֶסְרוֹן אֱמוּנָתָם וַיָּסָב בַּכְּפָרִים סָבוֹב וְלַמֵּד
7 Then he summoned the Twelve and began to send them out in pairs, giving them authority overunclean spirits.	7 וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וַיָּחֶל לִשְׁלֹחַ אוֹתָם שְׁנַיִם שְׁנָיִם וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם שָׁלְטָן עַל־רוּחוֹת הַטֻּמְאָה
8 And he instructed them to take nothing for the journey except a staff -- no bread, no haversack, nocoppers for their purses.	8 וַיְצַו אוֹתָם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִשְׂאוּ מְאוּמָה לַדֶּרֶךְ זוּלָתִי מַקֵּל לְבַדּוֹ לֹא תַרְמִיל וְלֹא לֶחֶם וְלֹא נְחשֶׁת בַּחֲגוֹרָה
9 They were to wear sandals but, he added, 'Don't take a spare tunic.'	9 רַק לִהְיוֹת נְעוּלֵי סַנְדָּל וּשְׁתֵּי כֻתֳּנוֹת לֹא יִלְבָּשׁוּ
10 And he said to them, 'If you enter a house anywhere, stay there until you leave the district.	10 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם בִּמְקוֹם אֲשֶׁר תָּבֹאוּ בֵּית־אִישׁ שְׁבוּ־בוֹ עַד כִּי־תֵצְאוּ מִשָּׁם
11 And if any place does not welcome you and people refuse to listen to you, as you walk away shake offthe dust under your feet as evidence to them.'	11 וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יְקַבְּלוּ אֶתְכֶם וְלֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ אֲלֵיכֶם צְאוּ מִשָּׁם וְנַעֲרוּ אֶת עֲפַר כַּפּוֹת רַגְלֵיכֶם לְעֵדוּת לָהֶם אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם לִסְדֹם וְלַעֲמֹרָה יֵקַל בְּיוֹם הַדִּין מִן־הָעִיר הַהִיא
12 So they set off to proclaim repentance;	12 וַיֵּצְאוּ וַיִּקְרְאוּ לָשׁוּב בִּתְשׁוּבָה
13 and they cast out many devils, and anointed many sick people with oil and cured them.	13 וַיְגָרְשׁוּ שֵׁדִים רַבִּים וַיָּסוּכוּ בַשֶּׁמֶן חַלָּשִׁים רַבִּים וַיִּרְפָּאוּם
14 King Herod had heard about him, since by now his name was wel known. Some were saying, 'Johnthe Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why miraculous powers are at work in him.'	14 וַיִּשְׁמַע עָלָיו הַמֶּלֶךְ הוֹרְדוֹס כִּי נוֹדַע שְׁמוֹ וַיֹּאמַר יוֹחָנָן הַטּוֹבֵל קָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים וְעַל־כֵּן פֹּעֲלוֹת בּוֹ הַגְּבוּרוֹת
15 Others said, 'He is Elijah,' others again, 'He is a prophet, like the prophets we used to have.'	15 וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ כִּי הוּא אֵלִיָּהוּ וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ כִּי־נָבִיא הוּא אוֹ כְּאַחַד הַנְּבִיאִים
16 But when Herod heard this he said, 'It is John whose head I cut off; he has risen from the dead.'	16 וַיִּשְׁמַע הוֹרְדוֹס וַיֹּאמַר יוֹחָנָן אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי נָשָׂאתִי אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ מֵעָלָיו הוּא קָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים
17 Now it was this same Herod who had sent to have John arrested, and had had him chained up inprison because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife whom he had married.	17 כִּי הוּא הוֹרְדוֹס שָׁלַח לִתְפֹּשׂ אֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיַּאַסְרֵהוּ בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר בִּגְלַל הוֹרוֹדְיָה אֵשֶׁת פִילִפּוֹס אָחִיו כִּי אֹתָהּ לָקַח לוֹ לְאִשָּׁה
18 For John had told Herod, 'It is against the law for you to have your brother's wife.'	18 יַעַן אֲשֶׁר־אָמַר יוֹחָנָן אֶל־הוֹרְדוֹס אֵשֶׁת אָחִיךָ אֵינֶנָּה מֻתֶּרֶת לָךְ
19 As for Herodias, she was furious with him and wanted to kil him, but she was not able to do so,	19 וַתִּשְׂטֹם אוֹתוֹ הוֹרוֹדְיָה וַתְּבַקֵּשׁ הֲמִיתוֹ וְלֹא יָכֹלָה
20 because Herod was in awe of John, knowing him to be a good and upright man, and gave him hisprotection. When he had heard him speak he was greatly perplexed, and yet he liked to listen to him.	20 כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס יָרֵא אֶת־יוֹחָנָן בְּדַעְתּוֹ כִּי־הוּא אִישׁ צַדִּיק וְקָדוֹשׁ וַיָּגֶן בַּעֲדוֹ וְהַרְבֵּה עָשָׂה בְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֵלָיו וַיֶּאֱהַב לִשְׁמֹעַ אֹתוֹ
21 An opportunity came on Herod's birthday when he gave a banquet for the nobles of his court, for hisarmy officers and for the leading figures in Galilee.	21 וַיָּבֹא הַיּוֹם הַמֻּכְשָׁר כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס בְּיוֹם הֻלֶּדֶת אֹתוֹ עָשָׂה מִשְׁתֶּה לִגְדוֹלָיו וּלְשָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וּלְרָאשֵׁי הַגָּלִיל
22 When the daughter of this same Herodias came in and danced, she delighted Herod and his guests;so the king said to the girl, 'Ask me anything you like and I will give it you.'	22 וַתָּבֹא בַת־הוֹרוֹדְיָה וַתְּרַקֵּד וַתִּיטַב בְּעֵינֵי הוֹרְדוֹס וּבְעֵינֵי הַמְסֻבִּים עִמּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־הַנַּעֲרָה שַׁאֲלִי מִמֶּנִּי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר תַּחְפְּצִי וְאֶתֵּן לָךְ
23 And he swore her an oath, 'I wil give you anything you ask, even half my kingdom.'	23 וַיִּשָּׁבַע לָהּ לֵאמֹר כָּל־אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁאֲלִי מִמֶּנִּי אֶתֶּן־לָךְ עַד־חֲצִי מַלְכוּתִי
24 She went out and said to her mother, 'What shall I ask for?' She replied, 'The head of John theBaptist.'	24 וַתֵּצֵא וַתֹּאמֶר לְאִמָּהּ מָה אֶשְׁאַל וַתֹּאמֶר אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל
25 The girl at once rushed back to the king and made her request, 'I want you to give me John theBaptist's head, immediately, on a dish.'	25 וַתְּמַהֵר מְאֹד לָבוֹא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ וַתִּשְׁאַל לֵאמֹר רְצוֹנִי אֲשֶׁר־תִּתֵּן לִי עַתָּה בַקְּעָרָה אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל
26 The king was deeply distressed but, thinking of the oaths he had sworn and of his guests, he wasreluctant to break his word to her.	26 וַיִּתְעַצֵּב הַמֶּלֶךְ מְאֹד אַךְ בַּעֲבוּר הַשְּׁבוּעָה וְהַמְסֻבִּים עִמּוֹ לֹא רָצָה לְהָשִׁיב פָּנֶיהָ
27 At once the king sent one of the bodyguard with orders to bring John's head.	27 וּמִיָּד שָׁלַח הַמֶּלֶךְ אַחַד הַשּׁוֹמְרִים וַיְצַוֵּהוּ לְהָבִיא אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ
28 The man went off and beheaded him in the prison; then he brought the head on a dish and gave it tothe girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.	28 וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּכְרֹת אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר וַיְבִיאֵהוּ בַּקְּעָרָה וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ לַנַּעֲרָה וְהַנַּעֲרָה נָתְנָה אֹתוֹ אֶל־אִמָּהּ
29 When John's disciples heard about this, they came and took his body and laid it in a tomb.	29 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ תַּלְמִידָיו וַיָּבֹאוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיָּתוֹ וַיְשִׂימוּהָ בַּקָּבֶר
30 The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him al they had done and taught.	30 וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ הַשְּׁלִיחִים אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיַּגִּידוּ לוֹ אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשֹוּ וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר לִמֵּדוּ
31 And he said to them, 'Come away to some lonely place al by yourselves and rest for a while'; for therewere so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat.	31 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם בֹּאוּ אַתֶּם לְבָדָד אֶל־מְקוֹם חָרְבָּה וְנוּחוּ מְעַט כִּי רַבִּים הָיוּ הַבָּאִים וְהַיֹּצְאִים עַד־לְאֵין־עֵת לָהֶם לֶאֱכוֹל
32 So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves.	32 וַיֵּלְכוּ מִשָּׁם בָּאֳנִיָּה אֶל־מְקוֹם חָרְבָּה לְבָדָד
33 But people saw them going, and many recognised them; and from every town they al hurried to theplace on foot and reached it before them.	33 וְהֶהָמוֹן רָאָה אוֹתָם יֹצְאִים וַיַּכִּירֻהוּ רַבִּים וַיָּרוּצוּ שָׁמָּה בְּרַגְלֵיהֶם מִכָּל הֶעָרִים וַיַּעַבְרוּ אוֹתָם וַיֵּאָסְפוּ אֵלָיו
34 So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were likesheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.	34 וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ וַיַּרְא הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וַיֶּהֱמוּ מֵעָיו עֲלֵיהֶם כִּי הָיוּ כַּצֹּאן אֲשֶׁר אֵין־לָהֶם רֹעֶה וַיָּחֶל לְלַמֵּד אוֹתָם דְּבָרִים הַרְבֵּה
35 By now it was getting very late, and his disciples came up to him and said, 'This is a lonely place and itis getting very late,	35 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר רָפָה הַיּוֹם לַעֲרוֹב וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה הַמָּקוֹם חָרֵב וְהַיּוֹם רַד מְאֹד
36 so send them away, and they can go to the farms and villages round about, to buy themselvessomething to eat.'	36 שַׁלַּח אוֹתָם וְיֵלְכוּ אֶל־הַחֲצֵרִים וְהַכְּפָרִים מִסָּבִיב לִקְנוֹת לָהֶם לָחֶם כִּי אֵין־לָהֶם מַה־לֶּאֱכֹל
37 He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' They answered, 'Are we to go and spend twohundred denari on bread for them to eat?'	37 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם תְּנוּ אַתֶּם לָהֶם לְאָכְלָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲנֵלֵךְ לִקְנוֹת לֶחֶם בְּמָאתַיִם דִּינַר וְנִתֵּן לָהֶם לְאָכְלָה
38 He asked, 'How many loaves have you? Go and see.' And when they had found out they said, 'Five,and two fish.'	38 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כַּמָּה כִכְּרוֹת־לֶחֶם יֵשׁ לָכֶם לְכוּ וּרְאוּ וַיֵּדְעוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ חָמֵשׁ וּשְׁנֵי דָגִים
39 Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass,	39 וַיְצַו אוֹתָם לָשֶׁבֶת כֻּלָּם חֲבֻרָה חֲבֻרָה לְבַדָּהּ עַל־יְרַק הַדֶּשֶׁא
40 and they sat down on the ground in squares of hundreds and fifties.	40 וַיֵּשְׁבוּ לָהֶם שׁוּרוֹת שׁוּרוֹת לְמֵאוֹת וְלַחֲמִשִּׁים
41 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven and said the blessing; then hebroke the loaves and began handing them to his disciples to distribute among the people. He also shared out thetwo fish among them al .	41 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת הַלֶּחֶם וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הַדָּגִים וַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּפְרֹס אֶת־הַלֶּחֶם וַיִּתֵּן לְתַלְמִידָיו לָשֹוּם לִפְנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הַדָּגִים חָלַק לְכֻלָּם
42 They al ate as much as they wanted.	42 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ
43 They col ected twelve basketfuls of scraps of bread and pieces of fish.	43 וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים מְלוֹא סַלִּים שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר וְגַם מִן־הַדָּגִים
44 Those who had eaten the loaves numbered five thousand men.	44 וְהָאֹכְלִים מִן־הַלֶּחֶם הָיוּ כַּחֲמֵשֶׁת אַלְפֵי אִישׁ
45 And at once he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side near Bethsaida,while he himself sent the crowd away.	45 וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן הֵאִיץ בְּתַלְמִידָיו לָרֶדֶת בָּאֳנִיָּה וְלַעֲבוֹר לְפָנָיו אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם אֶל־בֵּית צָיְדָה עַד־שַׁלְּחוֹ אֶת־הָעָם
46 After saying goodbye to them he went off into the hills to pray.	46 וַיְהִי אַחַר שַׁלְּחוֹ אֹתָם וַיַּעַל הָהָרָה לְהִתְפַּלֵּל
47 When evening came, the boat was far out on the sea, and he was alone on the land.	47 וַיְהִי־עֶרֶב וְהָאֳנִיָּה בָאָה בְּתוֹךְ הַיָּם וְהוּא לְבַדּוֹ בַּיַּבָּשָׁה
48 He could see that they were hard pressed in their rowing, for the wind was against them; and aboutthe fourth watch of the night he came towards them, walking on the sea. He was going to pass them by,	48 וַיַּרְא אוֹתָם מִתְיַגְּעִים בְּשׁוּטָם כִּי הָרוּחַ לְנֶגְדָּם וַיְהִי כְּעֵת הָאַשְׁמֹרֶת הָרְבִיעִית וַיָּבֹא אֲלֵיהֶם מִתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־פְּנֵי הַיָּם וַיּוֹאֶל לַעֲבוֹר לִפְנֵיהֶם
49 but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and cried out;	49 וְהֵם בִּרְאוֹתָם אֹתוֹ מִתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־פְּנֵי הַיָּם חָשְׁבוּ כִּי מַרְאֵה־רוּחַ הוּא וַיִּצְעָקוּ
50 for they had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke to them and said, 'Courage! It's me!Don't be afraid.'	50 כִּי־כֻלָּם רָאוּהוּ וַיִּבָּהֵלוּ אָז דִּבֶּר אִתָּם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם חִזְקוּ כִּי־אֲנִי הוּא אַל־תִּירָאוּ
51 Then he got into the boat with them and the wind dropped. They were utterly and completelydumbfounded,	51 וַיֵּרֶד אֲלֵיהֶם אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וְהָרוּחַ שָׁכָכָה וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ עוֹד־יוֹתֵר בִּלְבָבָם וַיִּתְמָהוּ
52 because they had not seen what the miracle of the loaves meant; their minds were closed.	52 כִּי לֹא הִשְׂכִּילוּ בִּדְבַר־כִּכְּרוֹת הַלָּחֶם מִפְּנֵי טִמְטוּם לְבָבָם
53 Having made the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored there.	53 וַיַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיָּם וַיָּבֹאוּ אַרְצָה גִנֵּיסַר וַיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־הַיַּבָּשָׁה
54 When they disembarked people at once recognised him,	54 וַיְהִי כְּצֵאתָם מִן־הָאֳנִיָּה אָז הִכִּירֻהוּ
55 and started hurrying al through the countryside and brought the sick on stretchers to wherever theyheard he was.	55 וַיָּרוּצוּ בְּכָל־סְבִיבוֹתֵיהֶם וַיָּחֵלּוּ לָשֵׂאת אֶת־הַחוֹלִים בְּמִשְׁכָּבוֹת אֶל־כָּל־מָקוֹם אֲשֶׁר שָׁמְעוּ כִּי־שָׁם הוּא
56 And wherever he went, to vil age or town or farm, they laid down the sick in the open spaces, begginghim to let them touch even the fringe of his cloak. And al those who touched him were saved.	56 וּבְכָל־מָקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יָבֹא אֶל־הַכְּפָרִים אוֹ אֶל־הֶעָרִים וְאֶל־הַשָּׂדוֹת שָׁם שָׂמוּ אֶת־הַחוֹלִים בַּחוּצוֹת וַיִּתְחַנְנוּ לוֹ כִּי יִגְּעוּ רַק בִּכְנַף בִּגְדוֹ וְהָיָה כֹּל אֲשֶׁר נָגְעוּ־בוֹ וְנוֹשָׁעוּ
