STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 בָּעֵת הַהִיא עָבַר יֵשׁוּעַ בֵּין הַקָּמָה בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת וְתַלְמִידָיו רָעֵבוּ וַיָּחֵלּוּ לִקְטֹף מְלִילֹת וַיֹּאכֵלוּ	1 At that time, Jesus went out through the ripe grain on the Sabbath. And his disciples, being hungry, began to separate the grain and to eat.
2 וַיִּרְאוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ הִנֵּה תַּלְמִידֶיךָ עֹשִׂים אֵת אֲשֶׁר אָסוּר לַעֲשׂוֹת בַּשַּׁבָּת	2 Then the Pharisees, seeing this, said to him, “Behold, your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbaths.”
3 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֲלֹא קְרָאתֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה דָוִד בִּהְיֹתוֹ רָעֵב הוּא וְהָאֲנָשִׁים אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ	3 But he said to them: “Have you not read what David did, when he was hungry, and those who were with him:
4 כִּי־בָא אֶל־בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאכַל אֶת־לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ מֻתָּר לוֹ וְלַאֲנָשָׁיו לְאָכְלָה רַק לַכֹּהֲנִים לְבַדָּם	4 how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests?
5 אוֹ הֲלֹא קְרָאתֶם בַּתּוֹרָה כִּי בַשַּׁבָּתוֹת יְחַלְּלוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וְאֵין לָהֶם עָוֺן	5 Or have you not read in the law, that on the Sabbaths the priests in the temple violate the Sabbath, and they are without guilt?
6 אֲבָל אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי יֶשׁ־פֹּה גָּדוֹל מִן־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ	6 But I say to you, that something greater than the temple is here.
7 וְלוּ יְדַעְתֶּם מַה־הוּא חֶסֶד חָפַצְתִּי וְלֹא זָבַח לֹא הִרְשַׁעְתֶּם אֵת הַנְּקִיִּם	7 And if you knew what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would never have condemned the innocent.
8 כִּי בֶּן־הָאָדָם הוּא גַּם־אֲדוֹן הַשַּׁבָּת	8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
9 וַיַּעֲבֹר מִשָּׁם אֶל־בֵּית כְּנִסְתָּם	9 And when he had passed from there, he went into their synagogues.
10 וְהִנֵּה־שָׁם אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָדוֹ יְבֵשָׁה וַיִּשְׁאָלוּהוּ לֵאמֹר הֲמֻתָּר לִרְפֹּא בַּשַּׁבָּת לְמַעַן יִמְצְאוּ עָלָיו שִׂטְנָה	10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand, and they questioned him, so that they might accuse him, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbaths?”
11 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מִי הָאִישׁ בָּכֶם אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ כֶּבֶשׂ אֶחָד וְנָפַל בְּבוֹר בַּשַּׁבָּת וְלֹא־יַחֲזִיק בּוֹ וְיַעֲלֶנּוּ	11 But he said to them: “Who is there among you, having even one sheep, if it will have fallen into a pit on the Sabbath, would not take hold of it and lift it up?
12 וּמַה־יָּקָר אָדָם מִן־הַכֶּבֶשׂ לָכֵן מֻתָּר לְהֵיטִיב בַּשַּׁבָּת	12 How much better is a man than a sheep? And so, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbaths.”
13 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָאִישׁ פְּשֹׁט אֶת־יָדְךָ וַיִּפְשֹׁט אֹתָהּ וַתֵּרָפֵא וַתָּשָׁב כְּיָדוֹ הָאַחֶרֶת	13 Then he said to the man, “Extend your hand.” And he extended it, and it was restored to health, just like the other one.
14 וַיֵּצְאוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ עָלָיו לְאַבְּדוֹ	14 Then the Pharisees, departing, took council against him, as to how they might destroy him.
15 וַיֵּדַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיָּסַר מִשָּׁם וַיֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וַיִּרְפָּאֵם כֻּלָּם	15 But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he cured them all.
16 וַיְצַו אֹתָם בִּגְעָרָה שֶׁלֹּא יְגַלֻּהוּ	16 And he instructed them, lest they make him known.
17 לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר	17 Then what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah was fulfilled, saying:
18 הֵן עַבְדִּי בָּחַרְתִּי־בוֹ יְדִידִי רָצְתָה נַפְשִׁי נָתַתִּי רוּחִי עָלָיו וּמִשְׁפָּט לַגּוֹיִם יוֹצִיא	18 “Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased. I will place my Spirit over him, and he shall announce judgment to the nations.
19 לֹא יִצְעַק וְלֹא יִשָּׂא וְלֹא־יִשָּׁמַע בַּחוּץ קוֹלוֹ	19 He shall not contend, nor cry out, neither shall anyone hear his voice in the streets.
20 קָנֶה רָצוּץ לֹא יִשְׁבּוֹר וּפִשְׁתָּה כֵהָה לֹא יְכַבֶּנָּה עַד־יוֹצִיא לָנֶצַח מִשְׁפָּט	20 He shall not crush the bruised reed, and he shall not extinguish the smoking wick, until he sends forth judgment unto victory.
21 וְלִשְׁמוֹ גּוֹיִם יְיַחֵלוּ	21 And the Gentiles shall hope in his name.”
22 אָז הוּבָא אֵלָיו אִישׁ עִוֵּר וְאִלֵּם אֲשֶׁר אֲחָזוֹ שֵׁד וַיִּרְפָּאֵהוּ וַיְדַבֵּר הָאִלֵּם וְגַם רָאָה	22 Then one who had a demon, who was blind and mute, was brought to him. And he cured him, so that he spoke and saw.
23 וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ כָּל־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ הֲכִי זֶה הוּא בֶן־דָּוִד	23 And all the crowds were stupefied, and they said, “Could this be the son of David?”
24 וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים כְּשָׁמְעָם זֹאת אָמְרוּ זֶה אֵינֶנּוּ מְגָרֵשׁ אֶת־הַשֵּׁדִים כִּי אִם־עַל־יְדֵי בַעַל־זְבוּב שַׂר הַשֵּׁדִים	24 But the Pharisees, hearing it, said, “This man does not cast out demons, except by Beelzebub, the prince of the demons.”
25 וְיֵשׁוּעַ יָדַע אֶת־מַחְשְׁבוֹתָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כָּל־מַמְלָכָה הַנֶּחֱלָקָה עַל־עַצְמָהּ תֵּחָרֵב וְכָל־עִיר וּבַיִת הַנֶּחֱלָקִים עַל־עַצְמָם לֹא יִכּוֹנוּ	25 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself will become desolate. And every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
26 וְהַשָּׂטָן אִם־יְגָרֵשׁ אֶת־הַשָּׂטָן נֶחֱלַק עַל־עַצְמוֹ וְאֵיכָכָה תִכּוֹן מַמְלַכְתּוֹ	26 So if Satan casts out Satan, then he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
27 וְאִם־אֲנִי מְגָרֵשׁ אֶת־הַשֵּׁדִים בְּבַעַל־זְבוּב בְּנֵיכֶם בְּמִי הֵם מְגָרְשִׁים אֹתָם עַל־כֵּן הֵמָּה יִהְיוּ שֹׁפְטֵיכֶם	27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your own sons cast them out? Therefore, they shall be your judges.
28 אַךְ אִם בְּרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים אֲנִי מְגָרֵשׁ אֶת־הַשֵּׁדִים הִנֵּה הִגִּיעָה אֲלֵיכֶם מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has arrived among you.
29 אוֹ אֵיךְ יוּכַל אִישׁ לָבוֹא לְבֵית הַגִּבּוֹר וְלִגְזֹל אֶת־כֵּלָיו אִם־לֹא יֶאֱסֹר בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה אֶת־הַגִּבּוֹר וְאַחַר יִשְׁסֶה אֶת־בֵּיתוֹ	29 Or how can anyone enter into the house of a strong man, and plunder his belongings, unless he first restrains the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.
30 כֹּל אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ אִתִּי הוּא נֶגְדִּי וַאֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ מְכַנֵּס אִתִּי הוּא מְפַזֵּר	30 Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters.
31 עַל־כֵּן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כָּל־חֵטְא וְגִדּוּף יִסָּלַח לָאָדָם אַךְ־גִּדּוּף הָרוּחַ לֹא יִסָּלַח לָאָדָם	31 For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
32 וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יְדַבֵּר דְּבַר חֶרְפָּה עַל־בֶּן־הָאָדָם יִסָּלַח לוֹ וְהַמְחָרֵף אֶת־רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ לֹא יִסָּלַח לוֹ לֹא־בָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וְלֹא בָעוֹלָם הַבָּא	32 And anyone who will have spoken a word against the Son of man shall be forgiven. But whoever will have spoken against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this age, nor in the future age.
33 אוֹ עֲשֹוּ אֶת־הָעֵץ טוֹב וּפִרְיוֹ טוֹב אוֹ עֲשֹוּ אֶת־הָעֵץ מָשְׁחָת וּפִרְיוֹ מָשְׁחָת כִּי בְּפִרְיוֹ נִכַּר הָעֵץ	33 Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree evil and its fruit evil. For certainly a tree is known by its fruit.
34 יַלְדֵי הַצִּפְעוֹנִים אֵיכָה תוּכְלוּ לְמַלֵּל טוֹב וְאַתֶּם רָעִים כִּי־מִשִּׁפְעַת הַלֵּב יְמַלֵּל הַפֶּה	34 Progeny of vipers, how are you able to speak good things while you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
35 הָאִישׁ הַטּוֹב מֵאוֹצַר לִבּוֹ הַטּוֹב מוֹצִיא אֶת־הַטּוֹב וְהָאִישׁ הָרָע מֵאוֹצַר הָרַע מוֹצִיא רָע	35 A good man offers good things from a good storehouse. And an evil man offers evil things from an evil storehouse.
36 וַאֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כָּל־מִלָּה בְטֵלָה אֲשֶׁר יְדַבְּרוּ בְּנֵי הָאָדָם יִתְּנוּ עָלֶיהָ חֶשְׁבּוֹן בְּיוֹם הַדִּין	36 But I say to you, that for every idle word which men will have spoken, they shall render an account in the day of judgment.
37 כִּי מִדְּבָרֶיךָ תִּצָּדֵק וּמִדְּבָרֶיךָ תְּחֻיָּב	37 For by your words shall you be justified, and by your words shall you be condemned.”
38 וַיַּעֲנוּ מִן־הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיֹּאמְרוּ רַבִּי חֶפְצֵנוּ לִרְאוֹת אוֹת מִיָּדֶךָ	38 Then certain ones from the scribes and the Pharisees responded to him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from you.”
39 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם דּוֹר רָע וּמְנָאֵף מְבַקֶּשׁ־לוֹ אוֹת וְאוֹת לֹא יִנָּתֶן־לוֹ בִּלְתִּי אִם־אוֹת יוֹנָה הַנָּבִיא	39 And answering, he said to them: “An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. But a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.
40 כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר הָיָה יוֹנָה בִּמְעֵי הַדָּג שְׁלשָׁה יָמִים וּשְׁלשָׁה לֵילוֹת כֵּן יִהְיֶה בֶן־הָאָדָם בְּלֵב הָאֲדָמָה שְׁלשָׁה יָמִים וּשְׁלשָׁה לֵילוֹת	40 For just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights, so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth for three days and three nights.
41 אַנְשֵׁי נִינְוֵה יָקוּמוּ בַמִּשְׁפָּט עִם־הַדּוֹר הַזֶּה וְיַרְשִׁיעוּהוּ כִּי הֵם שָׁבוּ בִּקְרִיאַת יוֹנָה וְהִנֵּה־פֹה גָּדוֹל מִיּוֹנָה	41 The men of Nineveh shall arise in judgment with this generation, and they shall condemn it. For, at the preaching of Jonah, they repented. And behold, there is a greater than Jonah here.
42 מַלְכַּת תֵּימָן תָּקוּם בַּמִּשְׁפָּט עִם־הַדּוֹר הַזֶּה וְתַרְשִׁיעֶנּוּ כִּי בָאָה מִקְּצוֹת הָאָרֶץ לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת־חָכְמַת שְׁלֹמֹה וְהִנֵּה־פֹה גָּדוֹל מִשְּׁלֹמֹה	42 The Queen of the South shall arise in judgment with this generation, and she shall condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, there is a greater than Solomon here.
43 וְהָרוּחַ הַטְּמֵאָה אַחֲרֵי צֵאתָהּ מִן־הָאָדָם תְּשֹׁטֵט בִּמְקֹמוֹת צִיָּה לְבַקֶּשׁ־לָהּ מְנוּחָה וְלֹא תִמְצָאֶנָּה	43 Now when an unclean spirit departs from a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and he does not find it.
44 אָז תֹּאמַר אָשׁוּבָה אֶל־בֵּיתִי אֲשֶׁר יָצָאתִי מִשָּׁם וּבָאָה וּמָצְאָה אֹתוֹ מְפֻנֶּה וּמְטֻאטָא וּמְהֻדָּר	44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house, from which I departed’. And arriving, he finds it vacant, swept clean, and decorated.
45 וְאַחַר תֵּלֵךְ וְלָקְחָה אֵלֶיהָ שֶׁבַע רוּחוֹת אֲחֵרוֹת רָעוֹת מִמֶּנָּה וּבָאוּ וְשָׁכְנוּ שָׁם וְהָיְתָה אַחֲרִית הָאָדָם הַהוּא רָעָה מֵרֵאשִׁיתוֹ כֵּן יִהְיֶה גַּם־לַדּוֹר הָרָע הַזֶּה	45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and live there. And in the end, the man becomes worse than he was at first. So, too, shall it be with this most wicked generation.”
46 עוֹדֶנּוּ מְדַבֵּר אֶל־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וְהִנֵּה אִמּוֹ וְאֶחָיו עָמְדוּ בַּחוּץ מְבַקְשִׁים לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ	46 While he was still speaking to the crowds, behold, his mother and his brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak with him.
47 וַיֻּגַּד אֵלָיו הִנֵּה אִמְּךָ וְאַחֶיךָ עֹמְדִים בַּחוּץ וּמְבַקְשִׁים לְדַבֵּר אִתָּךְ	47 And someone said to him: “Behold, your mother and your brothers are standing outside, seeking you.”
48 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָאִישׁ הַמַּגִּיד לוֹ מִי הִיא אִמִּי וּמִי הֵם אֶחָי	48 But responding to the one speaking to him, he said, “Which one is my mother, and who are my brothers?”
49 וַיֵּט יָדוֹ עַל־תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמַר הִנֵּה אִמִּי וְאֶחָי	49 And extending his hand to his disciples, he said: “Behold: my mother and my brothers.
50 כִּי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה רְצוֹן אָבִי שֶׁבַּשָּׁמָיִם הוּא אָחִי וַאֲחוֹתִי וְאִמִּי	50 For anyone who does the will of my Father, who is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”
