Luke 8

NEW JERUSALEM	STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH
1 Now it happened that after this he made his way through towns and villages preaching and proclaimingthe good news of the kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,	1 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי־כֵן וַיַּעֲבֹר מֵעִיר אֶל־עִיר וּמִכְּפָר אֶל־כְּפָר קוֹרֵא וּמְבַשֵּׂר אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וּשְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר אִתּוֹ
2 as wel as certain women who had been cured of evil spirits and ailments: Mary surnamed theMagdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,	2 וְנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר נִרְפְּאוּ מֵרוּחוֹת רָעוֹת וּמֵחֳלָיִים מִרְיָם הַנִּקְרָאָה מַגְדָּלִית אֲשֶׁר גֹּרְשׁוּ מִמֶּנָּה שִׁבְעָה שֵׁדִים
3 Joanna the wife of Herod's steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out oftheir own resources.	3 וְיוֹחָנָה אֵשֶׁת כּוּזָא סוֹכֵן הוֹרְדוֹס וְשׁוֹשַׁנָּה וַאֲחֵרוֹת רַבּוֹת אֲשֶׁר שֵׁרְתֻהוּ מִנִּכְסֵיהֶן
4 With a large crowd gathering and people from every town finding their way to him, he told this parable:	4 וַיְהִי בְּהִתְאַסֵּף הֲמוֹן עַם־רָב אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ אֵלָיו מֵעִיר וָעִיר וַיְדַבֵּר בְּמָשָׁל
5 'A sower went out to sow his seed. Now as he sowed, some fel on the edge of the path and wastrampled on; and the birds of the air ate it up.	5 הַזּוֹרֵעַ יָצָא לִזְרֹעַ אֶת־זַרְעוֹ וּבְזָרְעוֹ נָפַל מִן־הַזֶּרַע עַל־יַד הַדָּרֶךְ וַיֵּרָמַס וְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם אֲכָלוֹ
6 Some seed fell on rock, and when it came up it withered away, having no moisture.	6 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עַל־הַסָּלַע וַיִּצְמַח וַיִּיבַשׁ כִּי לֹא הָיְתָה־לוֹ לַחוּת
7 Some seed fell in the middle of thorns and the thorns grew with it and choked it.	7 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל בְּתוֹךְ הַקֹּצִים וַיִּצְמְחוּ הַקֹּצִים עִמּוֹ וַיְמַעֲכֻהוּ
8 And some seed fell into good soil and grew and produced its crop a hundredfold.' Saying this he cried,'Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!'	8 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עַל־הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה וַיִּצְמַח וַיַּעַשׂ פְּרִי מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים כָּזֹאת דִּבֵּר וַיִּקְרָא מִי אֲשֶׁר אָזְנַיִם לוֹ לִשְׁמֹעַ יִשְׁמָע
9 His disciples asked him what this parable might mean,	9 וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ תַלְמִידָיו לֵאמֹר מָה הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה
10 and he said, 'To you is granted to understand the secrets of the kingdom of God; for the rest it remainsin parables, so that they may look but not perceive, listen but not understand.	10 וַיֹּאמַר לָכֶם נִתַּן לָדַעַת אֶת־סוֹדוֹת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְלָאֲחֵרִים בִּמְשָׁלִים לְמַעַן בִּרְאֹתָם לֹא יִרְאוּ וּבְשָׁמְעָם לֹא יָבִינוּ
11 'This, then, is what the parable means: the seed is the word of God.	11 וְזֶה הוּא הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּרַע דְּבַר־אֱלֹהִים הוּא
12 Those on the edge of the path are people who have heard it, and then the devil comes and carriesaway the word from their hearts in case they should believe and be saved.	12 וַאֲשֶׁר עַל־יַד הַדֶּרֶךְ הֵם הַשֹּׁמְעִים וְאַחַר־כֵּן בָּא הַשָּׂטָן וְנֹשֵׂא אֶת־הַדָּבָר מִלִּבָּם פֶּן־יַאֲמִינוּ וְנוֹשָׁעוּ
13 Those on the rock are people who, when they first hear it, welcome the word with joy. But these haveno root; they believe for a while, and in time of trial they give up.	13 וַאֲשֶׁר עַל־הַסֶּלַע הֵם הַמְקַבְּלִים בְּשִׂמְחָה אֶת־הַדָּבָר בְּשָׁמְעָם וְשֹׁרֶשׁ אֵין לָהֶם רַק לְשָׁעָה מַאֲמִינִים וּבְעֵת הַנִּסָּיוֹן יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר
14 As for the part that fell into thorns, this is people who have heard, but as they go on their way they arechoked by the worries and riches and pleasures of life and never produce any crops.	14 וַאֲשֶׁר נָפַל בֵּין הַקֹּצִים הֵם הַשֹּׁמְעִים וְהוֹלְכִים לָהֶם וַיָּמֹכּוּ בִּדְאָגוֹת וּבְעשֶׁר וּבְתַאֲוֺת הַחַיִּים וּפְרִי לֹא־יְשַׁוּוּ לָמוֹ
15 As for the part in the rich soil, this is people with a noble and generous heart who have heard the wordand take it to themselves and yield a harvest through their perseverance.	15 וַאֲשֶׁר בָּאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הֵם הַשֹּׁמְרִים בְּלֵב טוֹב וְטָהוֹר אֶת־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר שָׁמָעוּ וְעֹשִׂים פְּרִי בְּתוֹחָלֶת
16 'No one lights a lamp to cover it with a bowl or to put it under a bed. No, it is put on a lamp-stand sothat people may see the light when they come in.	16 וְאֵין־אִישׁ מַדְלִיק נֵר אֲשֶׁר יְכַסֶּה אוֹתוֹ בִּכְלִי אוֹ יְשִׂימֵהוּ תַּחַת הַמִּטָּה כִּי אִם־עַל־הַמְּנוֹרָה יַעֲלֵהוּ לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ כָּל־בָּאֵי הַבַּיִת אֶת־הָאוֹר
17 For nothing is hidden but it will be made clear, nothing secret but it will be made known and brought tolight.	17 כִּי אֵין־דָּבָר נֶעְלָם אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִגָּלֶה וְאֵין גָּנוּז אֲשֶׁר לֹא יִוָּדַע וּבָא לָאוֹר
18 So take care how you listen; anyone who has, wil be given more; anyone who has not, wil bedeprived even of what he thinks he has.'	18 לָכֵן רְאוּ אֵיךְ תִּשְׁמָעוּן כִּי כָל־אֲשֶׁר יֶשׁ־לוֹ נָתוֹן יִנָּתֵן לוֹ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר אֵין לוֹ גַּם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר הוּא חשֵׁב לִהְיוֹת לוֹ יֻקַּח מִמֶּנּוּ
19 His mother and his brothers came looking for him, but they could not get to him because of the crowd.	19 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו אִמּוֹ וְאֶחָיו וְלֹא יָכְלוּ לָגֶשֶׁת אֵלָיו מִפְּנֵי הָעָם
20 He was told, 'Your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to see you.'	20 וַיֻּגַּד־לוֹ לֵאמֹר אִמְּךָ וְאַחֶיךָ עֹמְדִים בַּחוּץ וְהֵם חֲפֵצִים לִרְאוֹתֶךָ
21 But he said in answer, 'My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and put it intopractice.'	21 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אִמִּי וְאַחַי הֵם הַשֹּׁמְעִים וְעֹשִׂים אֶת דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים
22 It happened that one day he got into a boat with his disciples and said to them, 'Let us cross over tothe other side of the lake.' So they set out,	22 וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־אֳנִיָּה הוּא וְתַלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נַעְבְּרָה אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם וַיָּשׁוּטוּ הַיָּמָּה
23 and as they sailed he fel asleep. When a squall of wind came down on the lake the boat startedshipping water and they found themselves in danger.	23 וַיְהִי בְּלֶכְתָּם בָּאֳנִיָּה וַיִּשְׁכַּב וַיִּישָׁן וְרוּחַ סְעָרָה יָרְדָה עַל־הַיָּם וַיִּשְׁטְפוּ עֲלֵיהֶם הַמַּיִם וַיִּהְיוּ בְּסַכָּנָה
24 So they went to rouse him saying, 'Master! Master! We are lost!' Then he woke up and rebuked thewind and the rough water; and they subsided and it was calm again.	24 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ וַיָּעִירוּ אוֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר מוֹרֶה מוֹרֶה אָבָדְנוּ וַיֵּעוֹר וַיִּגְעַר בָּרוּחַ וּבְמִשְׁבְּרֵי־יָם וַיִּשְׁתְּקוּ וַתְּהִי דְמָמָה
25 He said to them, 'Where is your faith?' They were awestruck and astounded and said to one another,'Who can this be, that gives orders even to winds and waves and they obey him?'	25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַיֵּה אֱמוּנַתְכֶם וַיִּירְאוּ וַיִּתְמְהוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ מִי אֵפוֹא הוּא הַמְצַוֶּה גַּם־אֶת־הָרוּחוֹת וְאֶת־הַמַּיִם וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ לוֹ
26 They came to land in the territory of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.	26 וַיַּעַבְרוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַגַּדְרִיִּים אֲשֶׁר מִמּוּל הַגָּלִיל
27 He was stepping ashore when a man from the city who was possessed by devils came towards him;for a long time the man had been living with no clothes on, not in a house, but in the tombs.	27 וַיֵּצֵא אֶל־הַיַּבָּשָׁה וַיִּפְגְּשֵׁהוּ אִישׁ מִן הָעִיר אֲשֶׁר שֵׁדִים בּוֹ מִיָּמִים רַבִּים וּבֶגֶד לֹא לָבַשׁ וּבְבַיִת לֹא יָשַׁב כִּי אִם־בַּקְּבָרִים
28 Catching sight of Jesus he gave a shout, fel at his feet and cried out at the top of his voice, 'What doyou want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? I implore you, do not torture me.'	28 וַיַּרְא אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּפֹּל לְפָנָיו וַיִּקְרָא בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל מַה־לִּי וָלָךְ יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן־אֵל עֶלְיוֹן מְבַקֵּשׁ אֲנִי מִמְּךָ אֲשֶׁר לֹא תְעַנֵּנִי
29 For Jesus had been tel ing the unclean spirit to come out of the man. It had seized on him a greatmany times, and then they used to secure him with chains and fetters to restrain him, but he would always breakthe fastenings, and the devil would drive him out into the wilds.	29 כִּי צִוָּה אֶת־הָרוּחַ הַטָּמֵא לָצֵאת מִן־הָאִישׁ כִּי יָמִים רַבִּים חָטַף אֹתוֹ וְנֶאֱסַר בָּאזִקִּים וְנִשְׁמַר בַּכְּבָלִים וְהָיָה בְּנַתְּקוֹ אֶת־הַמּוֹסֵרוֹת וְנִדְחַף בְּיַד הַשֵּׁד אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּרוֹת
30 Jesus asked him, 'What is your name?' He said, 'Legion' -- because many devils had gone into him.	30 וַיִּשְׁאַל אֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ לֵאמֹר מַה־שְּׁמֶךָ וַיֹּאמֶר לִגְיוֹן שְׁמִי כִּי־שֵׁדִים רַבִּים נִכְנְסוּ בוֹ
31 And these begged him not to order them to depart into the Abyss.	31 וַיִּתְחַנְנוּ לוֹ לְבִלְתִּי צַוֹּת אֹתָם לָרֶדֶת אֶל־הַתְּהוֹם
32 Now there was a large herd of pigs feeding there on the mountain, and the devils begged him to letthem go into these. So he gave them leave.	32 וַיְהִי־שָׁם עֵדֶר חֲזִירִים רַבִּים עַל־הַמִּרְעֶה בָּהָר וַיִּתְחַנְנוּ לוֹ כִּי־יַנִּיחַ לָהֶם לָבוֹא אֶל־תּוֹכָם וַיַּנַּח לָהֶם
33 The devils came out of the man and went into the pigs, and the herd charged down the cliff into thelake and was drowned.	33 וַיֵּצְאוּ הַשֵּׁדִים מִן־הָאָדָם הַהוּא וַיָּבֹאוּ בַּחֲזִירִים וַיִּשְׂתָּעֵר הָעֵדֶר מִן־הַמּוֹרָד אֶל־הַיָּם וַיִּטְבָּע
34 When the swineherds saw what had happened they ran off and told their story in the city and in thecountry round about;	34 וַיָּנוּסוּ הָרֹעִים כִּרְאוֹתָם אֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה וַיַּגִּידוּ הַדָּבָר בָּעִיר וּבַכְּפָרִים
35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the manfrom whom the devils had gone out sitting at the feet of Jesus, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and theywere afraid.	35 וַיֵּצְאוּ לִרְאוֹת אֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּמְצְאוּ־שָׁם אֶת־הָאָדָם אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ הַשֵּׁדִים ישֵׁב לְרַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ מְלֻבָּשׁ וְטוֹב־שֵׂכֶל וַיִּירָאוּ
36 Those who had witnessed it told them how the man who had been possessed came to be saved.	36 וַיְסַפְּרוּ לָהֶם הָרֹאִים אֵיךְ נִרְפָּא אֲחוּז הַשֵּׁדִים
37 The entire population of the Gerasene territory was in great fear and asked Jesus to leave them. So hegot into the boat and went back.	37 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כָּל־הֲמוֹן חֶבֶל הַגַּדְרִיִּים לָלֶכֶת מֵאִתָּם כִּי־אֵימָה גְדוֹלָה נָפְלָה עֲלֵיהֶם וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיָּשֹׁב
38 The man from whom the devils had gone out asked to be al owed to stay with him, but he sent himaway saying,	38 וַיְבַקֵּשׁ מִמֶּנּוּ הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָצְאוּ מִמֶּנּוּ הַשֵּׁדִים לָשֶׁבֶת אִתּוֹ וַיְשַׁלַּח אוֹתוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּאָמְרוֹ
39 'Go back home and report al that God has done for you.' So the man went off and proclaimedthroughout the city al that Jesus had done for him.	39 שׁוּב לְבֵיתְךָ וְסַפֵּר הַגְּדֹלוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה־לְךָ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ וַיַּשְׁמַע בְּכָל־הָעִיר אֶת־הַגְּדֹלוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה־לוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ
40 On his return Jesus was welcomed by the crowd, for they were al there waiting for him.	40 וַיְהִי בְּשׁוּב יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְקַבֵּל אֹתוֹ הָעָם כִּי כֻלָּם הָיוּ מְחַכִּים לוֹ
41 And suddenly there came a man named Jairus, who was president of the synagogue. He fel at Jesus'feet and pleaded with him to come to his house,	41 וְהִנֵּה־בָא אִישׁ וּשְׁמוֹ יָאִיר וְהוּא רֹאשׁ בֵּית הַכְּנֵסֶת וַיִּפֹּל לְרַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּתְחַנֶּן־לוֹ לָבוֹא אִתּוֹ אֶל־בֵּיתוֹ
42 because he had an only daughter about twelve years old, who was dying. And the crowds were almoststifling Jesus as he went.	42 כִּי בַּת יְחִידָה כִּשְׁתֵּים־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הָיְתָה לּוֹ וְהִיא נוֹטָה לָמוּת וַיְהִי בְּלֶכְתּוֹ שָׁמָּה וַיִּדְחָקֻהוּ הֲמוֹן הָעָם
43 Now there was a woman suffering from a haemorrhage for the past twelve years, whom no one hadbeen able to cure.	43 וְאִשָּׁה זָבַת דָּם שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה אֲשֶׁר הוֹצִיאָה כָל־קִנְיָנָהּ לָרֹפְאִים וְאֵין אִישׁ יָכֹל לְרַפֹּאתָהּ
44 She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak; and the haemorrhage stopped at thatvery moment.	44 הִיא קָרְבָה מֵאַחֲרָיו וַתִּגַּע בִּכְנַף בִּגְדוֹ וְזוֹב דָּמָהּ עָמַד פִּתְאֹם
45 Jesus said, 'Who was it that touched me?' When they al denied it, Peter said, 'Master, it is the crowdsround you, pushing.'	45 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ מִי־זֶה נָגַע־בִּי וְכֻלָּם כִּחֵשׁוּ וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס וְהָעֹמְדִים אֶצְלוֹ מוֹרֶה הֲמוֹן הָעָם דֹּחֲקִים וְלֹחֲצִים אֹתָךְ וְאַתָּה תֹאמַר מִי נָגַע בִּי
46 But Jesus said, 'Somebody touched me. I felt that power had gone out from me.'	46 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ נָגַע בִּי אָדָם כִּי יָדַעְתִּי אֲשֶׁר יָצְאָה מִמֶּנִּי גְּבוּרָה
47 Seeing herself discovered, the woman came forward trembling, and fal ing at his feet explained in frontof al the people why she had touched him and how she had been cured at that very moment.	47 וַתֵּרֶא הָאִשָּׁה כִּי לֹא־נִסְתְּרָה מִמֶּנּוּ וַתֶּחֱרַד לִקְרָאתוֹ וַתִּפֹּל לְפָנָיו וַתַּגֵּד בְּאָזְנֵי כָל־הָעָם עַל־מֶה נָגְעָה בּוֹ וְאֵיךְ נִרְפְּאָה פִּתְאֹם
48 'My daughter,' he said, 'your faith has saved you; go in peace.'	48 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ חִזְקִי בִּתִּי אֱמוּנָתֵךְ הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּךְ לְכִי לְשָׁלוֹם
49 While he was stil speaking, someone arrived from the house of the president of the synagogue to say,'Your daughter has died. Do not trouble the Master any further.'	49 עוֹדֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר וְאִישׁ בָּא מִבֵּית רֹאשׁ הַכְּנֵסֶת וַיֹּאמַר מֵתָה בִתְּךָ אַל־תַּטְרִיחַ אֶת־הַמּוֹרֶה
50 But Jesus heard this, and he spoke to the man, 'Do not be afraid, only have faith and she wil besaved.'	50 וַיִּשְׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אַל־תִּירָא אַךְ־הַאֲמֵן וְהִיא תִוָּשֵׁעַ
51 When he came to the house he al owed no one to go in with him except Peter and John and James,and the child's father and mother.	51 וַיָּבֹא הַבַּיְתָה וְלֹא־הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לָבוֹא אִתּוֹ בִּלְתִּי אִם־לְפֶטְרוֹס וּלְיַעֲקֹב וּלְיוֹחָנָן וְלַאֲבִי הַיַּלְדָּה וּלְאִמָּהּ
52 They were all crying and mourning for her, but Jesus said, 'Stop crying; she is not dead, but asleep.'	52 וְכֻלָּם בֹּכִים וְסֹפְדִים לָהּ וַיֹּאמֶר אַל־תִּבְכּוּ כִּי לֹא מֵתָה אַךְ־יְשֵׁנָה הִיא
53 But they ridiculed him, knowing she was dead.	53 וַיִּשְׂחֲקוּ עָלָיו בַּאֲשֶׁר יָדְעוּ כִּי־מֵתָה
54 But taking her by the hand himself he spoke to her, 'Child, get up.'	54 וְהוּא אָחַז בְּיָדָהּ וַיִּקְרָא לֵאמֹר הַיַּלְדָּה קוּמִי
55 And her spirit returned and she got up at that very moment. Then he told them to give her something toeat.	55 וַתָּשָׁב רוּחָהּ וַתָּקָם פִּתְאֹם וַיְצַו לָתֶת־לָהּ לֶאֱכוֹל
56 Her parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tel anyone what had happened.	56 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ אָבִיהָ וְאִמָּהּ וְהוּא צִוָּה אֹתָם לְבִלְתִּי הַגִּיד לְאִישׁ אֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה
