1 אָז בָּאוּ אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר מִירוּשָׁלָיִם | 1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, |
2 וַיֹּאמְרוּ מַדּוּעַ תַּלְמִידֶיךָ עֹבְרִים אֵת קַבָּלַת הַזְּקֵנִים כִּי אֵינָם רֹחֲצִים אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם בְּאָכְלָם לָחֶם | 2 "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash (their) hands when they eat a meal." |
3 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַדּוּעַ גַּם־אַתֶּם עֹבְרִים אֶת־מִצְוַת אֱלֹהִים בַּעֲבוּר קַבָּלַתְכֶם | 3 He said to them in reply, "And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? |
4 כִּי אֱלֹהִים צִוָּה לֵאמֹר כַּבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיךָ וְאֶת אִמֶּךָ וּמְקַלֵּל אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ מוֹת יוּמָת | 4 For God said, 'Honor your father and your mother,' and 'Whoever curses father or mother shall die.' |
5 וְאַתֶּם אֹמְרִים הָאֹמֵר לְאָבִיו וּלְאִמּוֹ מִנְחָה לַיהוָֹה כֹּל מַה־שֶּׁאַתָּה נֶהֱנֶה מִמֶּנִּי אֵין עָלָיו לְכַבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיו וְאֶת־אִמּוֹ | 5 But you say, 'Whoever says to father or mother, "Any support you might have had from me is dedicated to God," |
6 וַתָּפֵרוּ אֶת־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים בַּעֲבוּר קַבָּלַתְכֶם | 6 need not honor his father.' You have nullified the word of God for the sake of your tradition. |
7 חֲנֵפִים הֵיטֵב נִבָּא עֲלֵיכֶם יְשַׁעְיָהוּ לֵאמֹר | 7 Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy about you when he said: |
8 הָעָם הַזֶּה נִגַּשׁ בְּפִיו וּבִשְׂפָתָיו כִּבְּדוּנִי וְלִבּוֹ רִחַק מִמֶּנִּי | 8 'This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; |
9 וְתֹהוּ יִרְאָתָם אֹתִי מִצְוֺת אֲנָשִׁים מְלַמְּדִים | 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines human precepts.'" |
10 וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־הָעָם וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם שִׁמְעוּ וְהָבִינוּ | 10 He summoned the crowd and said to them, "Hear and understand. |
11 לֹא הַבָּא אֶל־הַפֶּה יְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם כִּי אִם־הַיּוֹצֵא מִן־הַפֶּה הוּא מְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם | 11 It is not what enters one's mouth that defiles that person; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one." |
12 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ הֲיָדַעְתָּ כִּי הַפְּרוּשִׁים בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה נִכְשְׁלוּ־בוֹ | 12 Then his disciples approached and said to him, "Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?" |
13 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר כָּל־מַטָּע אֲשֶׁר לֹא נָטַע אָבִי שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם עָקוֹר יֵעָקֵר | 13 He said in reply, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. |
14 הַנִּיחוּ אוֹתָם מְנַהֲלִים עִוְרִים הֵמָּה לַעִוְרִים וְכִי־יוֹלִיךְ עִוֵּר אֶת־הָעִוֵּר וְנָפְלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּתוֹךְ הַבּוֹר | 14 Let them alone; they are blind guides (of the blind). If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit." |
15 וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו בָּאֵר לָנוּ אֶת־הַמָּשָׁל הַזֶּה | 15 Then Peter said to him in reply, "Explain (this) parable to us." |
16 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ הַעוֹד גַּם־אַתֶּם בְּאֵין בִּינָה | 16 He said to them, "Are even you still without understanding? |
17 הַעוֹד לֹא תַשְׂכִּילוּ כִּי כָל־הַבָּא אֶל־הַפֶּה יוֹרֵד אֶל־הַכֶּרֶשׂ וְיִשָּׁפֵךְ מִשָּׁם לְמוֹצָאוֹת | 17 Do you not realize that everything that enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is expelled into the latrine? |
18 אֲבָל הַיּוֹצֵא מִן־הַפֶּה יוֹצֵא מִן־הַלֵּב וְהוּא מְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם | 18 But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile. |
19 כִּי מִן־הַלֵּב יוֹצְאוֹת מַחְשְׁבוֹת רָע רְצִיחוֹת נִאוּפִים זְנוּנִים גְּנֵבוֹת עֵדֻיּוֹת שֶׁקֶר וְגִדּוּפִים | 19 For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy. |
20 אֵלֶּה הֵם הַמְטַמְּאִים אֶת־הָאָדָם אֲבָל אָכוֹל בְּלִי נְטִילַת יָדַיִם לֹא יְטַמֵּא אֶת־הָאָדָם | 20 These are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile." |
21 וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ מִשָּׁם וַיָּסַר אֶל־גְּלִילוֹת צוֹר וְצִידוֹן | 21 Then Jesus went from that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. |
22 וְהִנֵּה אִשָּׁה כְנַעֲנִית יָצְאָה מִן־הַגְּבוּלוֹת הָהֵם וַתִּצְעַק אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר חָנֵּנִי אֲדֹנִי בֶן־דָּוִד כִּי בִתִּי מְעֻנָּה מְאֹד עַל־יְדֵי שֵׁד | 22 And behold, a Canaanite woman of that district came and called out, "Have pity on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon." |
23 וְהוּא לֹא־עָנָה אֹתָהּ דָּבָר וַיִּגְּשׁוּ תַלְמִידָיו וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לֵאמֹר שַׁלְּחֶהָ כִּי־צֹעֶקֶת הִיא אַחֲרֵינוּ | 23 But he did not say a word in answer to her. His disciples came and asked him, "Send her away, for she keeps calling out after us." |
24 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר לֹא שֻׁלַּחְתִּי כִּי אִם־אֶל־הַצֹּאן הָאֹבְדוֹת לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל | 24 He said in reply, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." |
25 וְהִיא בָאָה וַתִּשְׁתַּחוּ לוֹ לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי עָזְרֵנִי | 25 But the woman came and did him homage, saying, "Lord, help me." |
26 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא טוֹב לָקַחַת אֶת־לֶחֶם הַבָּנִים וּלְהַשְׁלִיכוֹ לִצְעִירֵי הַכְּלָבִים | 26 He said in reply, "It is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." |
27 וַתֹּאמַר כֵּן אֲדֹנִי אֶפֶס כִּי־גַם־צְעִירֵי הַכְּלָבִים יֹאכְלוּ מִפֵּרוּרִים הַנֹּפְלִים מֵעַל־שֻׁלְחַן אֲדֹנֵיהֶם | 27 She said, "Please, Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters." |
28 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אִשָּׁה גָּדְלָה אֱמוּנָתֵךְ יְהִי־לָךְ כִּרְצוֹנֵךְ וַתֵּרָפֵא בִתָּהּ מִן־הַשָּׁעָה הַהִיא | 28 Then Jesus said to her in reply, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed from that hour. |
29 וַיַּעֲבֹר יֵשׁוּעַ מִשָּׁם וַיָּבֹא אֶל־יַם הַגָּלִיל וַיַּעַל הָהָרָה וַיֵּשֶׁב שָׁם | 29 Moving on from there Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, went up on the mountain, and sat down there. |
30 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וְעִמָּהֶם פִּסְּחִים עִוְרִים חֵרְשִׁים קִטְּעִים וְרַבִּים כָּהֵמָּה וַיַּנִּיחוּם לְרַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּרְפָּאֵם | 30 Great crowds came to him, having with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. |
31 וַיִּתְמְהוּ הָעָם בִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־הָאִלְּמִים מְדַבְּרִים וְהַקִּטְּעִים בְּרִיאִים וְהַפִּסְּחִים מִתְהַלְּכִים וְהַעִוְרִים רֹאִים וַיְשַׁבְּחוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל | 31 The crowds were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the deformed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind able to see, and they glorified the God of Israel. |
32 וַיִּקְרָא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמַר נִכְמְרוּ רַחֲמַי עַל־הָעָם כִּי־זֶה שְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים עָמְדוּ עִמָּדִי וְאֵין לָהֶם מַה־לֶּאֱכֹל וְאֵינֶנִּי אֹבֶה לְשַׁלְּחָם רְעֵבִים פֶּן־יִתְעַלְּפוּ בַּדָּרֶךְ | 32 Jesus summoned his disciples and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, for fear they may collapse on the way." |
33 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הַתַּלְמִידִים מֵאַיִן לָנוּ דֵּי־לֶחֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר לְהַשְׂבִּיעַ אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן הַגָּדוֹל הַזֶּה | 33 The disciples said to him, "Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?" |
34 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם כַּמָּה כִּכְּרוֹת לֶחֶם לָכֶם וַיֹּאמְרוּ שֶׁבַע וּמְעַט דָּגִים קְטַנִּים | 34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" "Seven," they replied, "and a few fish." |
35 וַיְצַו אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם לָשֶׁבֶת לָאָרֶץ | 35 He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. |
36 וַיִּקַּח אֶת־שֶׁבַע כִּכְּרוֹת הַלֶּחֶם וְאֵת הַדָּגִים וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּפְרֹס וַיִּתֵּן אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים וְהַתַּלְמִידִים נָתְנוּ לָעָם | 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. |
37 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים הַנּוֹתָרִים שִׁבְעָה דּוּדִים מְלֵאִים | 37 They all ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over--seven baskets full. |
38 וְהָאֹכְלִים הָיוּ אַרְבַּעַת אַלְפֵי אִישׁ מִלְּבַד הַנָּשִׁים וְהַטָּף | 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, not counting women and children. |
39 וַיְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעָם וַיֵּרֶד בָּאֳנִיָּה וַיָּבֹא אֶל־גְּבוּל מַגְדְּלָא | 39 And when he had dismissed the crowds, he got into the boat and came to the district of Magadan. |
