STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר קָרְבוּ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם וּבָאוּ אֶל־בֵּית־פַּגֵּי בְּהַר הַזֵּיתִים וַיִּשְׁלַח יֵשׁוּעַ שְׁנַיִם מִן־הַתַּלְמִידִים	1 And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָר אֲשֶׁר מִמּוּלְכֶם שָׁם תִּמְצְאוּ אָתוֹן אֲסוּרָה וְעַיִר עִמָּהּ הַתִּירוּ אֹתָם וְהָבִיאוּ אֵלָי	2 Saying to them: Go ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
3 וְכִי־יֹאמַר אִישׁ אֲלֵיכֶם דָּבָר וַאֲמַרְתֶּם הָאָדוֹן צָרִיךְ לָהֶם וּבְרֶגַע יְשַׁלְּחֵם	3 And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
4 וְכָל־זֹאת הָיָתָה לְמַלֹּאת הַנֶּאֱמָר בְּיַד הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר	4 Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 אִמְרוּ לְבַת־צִיּוֹן הִנֵּה מַלְכֵּךְ יָבוֹא לָךְ עָנִי וְרֹכֵב עַל־חֲמוֹר וְעַל־עַיִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנוֹת	5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
6 וַיֵּלְכוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיַּעֲשֹוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ	6 And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
7 וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־הָאָתוֹן וְאֶת־הָעָיִר וַיָּשִׂימוּ עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־בִּגְדֵיהֶם וַיַּרְכִּיבֻהוּ עֲלֵיהֶם	7 And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
8 וְרֹב הֶהָמוֹן פָּרְשֹוּ אֶת־בִּגְדֵיהֶם עַל־הַדָּרֶךְ וַאֲחֵרִים כָּרְתוּ עַנְפֵי עֵצִים וַיִּשְׁטָחוּם עַל־הַדָּרֶךְ	8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
9 וַהֲמוֹן הָעָם הַהֹלְכִים לְפָנָיו וְאַחֲרָיו קָרְאוּ לֵאמֹר הוֹשַׁע־נָא לְבֶן־דָּוִד בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֹה הוֹשַׁע־נָא בַּמְּרוֹמִים	9 And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 וַיְהִי בְּבֹאוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וַתֵּהֹם כָּל־הָעִיר לֵאמֹר מִי הוּא זֶה	10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
11 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הֲמֹנֵי הָעָם זֶה הוּא הַנָּבִיא יֵשׁוּעַ מִנְּצֶרֶת אֲשֶׁר בַּגָּלִיל	11 And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־מִקְדַּשׁ הָאֱלֹהִים וַיְגָרֶשׁ מִשָּׁם אֵת כָּל־הַמּוֹכְרִים וְהַקּוֹנִים בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיַּהֲפֹךְ אֶת־שֻׁלְחֲנוֹת הַשֻּׁלְחָנִים וְאֶת־משְׁבוֹת מֹכְרֵי הַיּוֹנִים	12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
13 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֵן כָּתוּב כִּי בֵיתִי בֵּית־תְּפִלָּה יִקָּרֵא וְאַתֶּם שַׂמְתֶּם אֹתוֹ לִמְעָרַת פָּרִיצִים	13 And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
14 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו עִוְרִים וּפִסְחִים בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיִּרְפָּאֵם	14 And there came to him the blind and the lame in the temple; and he healed them.
15 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים אֵת הַנִּפְלָאוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה וְאֵת הַיְלָדִים הַצֹּעֲקִים בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וְאֹמְרִים הוֹשַׁע־נָא לְבֶן־דָּוִד וַיִּחַר לָהֶם	15 And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
16 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲשֹׁמֵעַ אַתָּה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אֵלֶּה אֹמְרִים וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם כֵּן הֲכִי קָרֹא לֹא קְרָאתֶם מִפִּי עוֹלְלִים וְיוֹנְקִים יִסַּדְתָּ עֹז	16 And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 וַיַּעֲזְבֵם וַיֵּצֵא מִחוּץ לָעִיר אֶל־בֵּית־הִינִי וַיָּלֶן שָׁם	17 And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
18 וּבַבֹּקֶר שָׁב אֶל־הָעִיר וְהוּא רָעֵב	18 And in the morning, returning into the city, he was hungry.
19 וַיַּרְא תְּאֵנָה אַחַת עַל־הַדָּרֶךְ וַיִּקְרַב אֵלֶיהָ וְלֹא־מָצָא בָהּ מְאוּמָה מִלְּבַד הֶעָלִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ מֵעַתָּה לֹא־יִהְיֶה מִמֵּךְ פְּרִי עַד־עוֹלָם וַתִּיבַשׁ הַתְּאֵנָה פִּתְאֹם	19 And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away.
20 וַיִּרְאוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיִּתְמְהוּ לֵאמֹר אֵיךְ יָבְשָׁה הַתְּאֵנָה פִּתְאֹם	20 And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
21 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אִם־תִּהְיֶה לָכֶם אֱמוּנָה וְאֵין סָפֵק בִּלְבַבְכֶם לֹא לְבַד כְּמַעֲשֵׂה הַתְּאֵנָה הַזֹּאת תַּעֲשֹוּ כִּי־גַם בֶּאֱמָרְכֶם אֶל־הָהָר הַזֶּה הִנָּשֵׂא וְהֵעָתֵק אֶל־תּוֹךְ הַיָּם הָיוֹ תִהְיֶה	21 And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
22 וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁאֲלוּ בִּתְפִלָּה וְאַתֶּם מַאֲמִינִים תִּקָּחֻהוּ	22 And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
23 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיְהִי בְּלַמְּדוֹ שָׁם וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים וְזִקְנֵי הָעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ בְּאֵיזוֹ רְשׁוּת אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה אֵלֶּה וּמִי נָתַן לְךָ הָרְשׁוּת הַזֹּאת	23 And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee this authority?
24 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם גַּם־אֲנִי אֶשְׁאֲלָה אֶתְכֶם דָּבָר אֶחָד אֲשֶׁר אִם־תַּגִּידוּ אֹתוֹ לִי גַּם־אֲנִי אַגִּיד לָכֶם בְּאֵיזוֹ רְשׁוּת אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אֵלֶּה	24 Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 טְבִילַת יוֹחָנָן מֵאַיִן הָיְתָה הֲמִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם אִם־מִבְּנֵי אָדָם וַיַּחְשְׁבוּ בִלְבָבָם לֵאמֹר	25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
26 אִם־נֹאמַר מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם יֹאמַר אֵלֵינוּ מַדּוּעַ אֵפוֹא לֹא הֶאֱמַנְתֶּם לוֹ וְאִם־נֹאמַר מִבְּנֵי אָדָם יְרֵאִים אֲנַחְנוּ אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם כִּי־כֻלָּם חשְׁבִים אֶת־יוֹחָנָן לְנָבִיא	26 If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
27 וַיַּעֲנוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לֹא יָדָעְנוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם גַּם־אֲנִי לֹא אֹמַר לָכֶם בְּאֵיזוֹ רְשׁוּת אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה אֵלֶּה	27 And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 אֲבָל מַה־דַּעְתְּכֶם אִישׁ הָיָה וְלוֹ שְׁנֵי בָנִים וַיִּגַּשׁ אֶל־הָרִאשׁוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר בְּנִי לֵךְ הַיּוֹם וַעֲבֹד בְּכַרְמִי	28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
29 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵינֶנִּי אֹבֶה וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן נִחַם וַיֵּלַךְ	29 And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
30 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֶל־הַשֵּׁנִי וַיְדַבֵּר כָּזֹאת גַּם־אֵלָיו וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר הִנְנִי אֲדֹנִי וְלֹא הָלָךְ	30 And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
31 מִי מִשְּׁנֵיהֶם עָשָׂה אֶת־רְצוֹן הָאָב וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הָרִאשׁוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם הַמּוֹכְסִים וְהַזּוֹנוֹת יְקַדְּמוּ אֶתְכֶם לָבוֹא אֶל־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	31 Which of the two did the father's will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 כִּי יוֹחָנָן בָּא אֲלֵיכֶם בְּדֶרֶךְ צְדָקָה וְלֹא הֶאֱמַנְתֶּם לוֹ אֲבָל הַמּוֹכְסִים וְהַזּוֹנוֹת הֵם הֶאֱמִינוּ לוֹ וְאַתֶּם רְאִיתֶם וְלֹא שַׁבְתֶּם אַחֲרֵי־כֵן לְהַאֲמִין לוֹ	32 For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might believe him.
33 מָשָׁל אַחֵר שְׁמָעוּ אִישׁ בַּעַל־בַּיִת הָיָה וַיִּטַּע הָאִישׁ כֶּרֶם וַיַּעַשׂ גָּדֵר סָבִיב לוֹ וַיַּחְצֹב יֶקֶב וַיִּבֶן מִגְדָּל בְּתוֹכוֹ וַיִּתְּנֵהוּ אֶל־כֹּרְמִים וַיֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ מֵרָחוֹק	33 Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
34 וַיְהִי בְּהַגִּיעַ עֵת הַבָּצִיר וַיִּשְׁלַח עֲבָדָיו אֶל־הַכֹּרְמִים לָקַחַת אֶת־פִּרְיוֹ	34 And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
35 וַיַּחֲזִיקוּ הַכֹּרְמִים בַּעֲבָדָיו אֶת־זֶה הִכּוּ וְאֶת־זֶה הָרְגוּ וְאֶת זֶה סָקָלוּ	35 And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 וַיּוֹסֶף שְׁלֹחַ עֲבָדִים אֲחֵרִים רַבִּים מִן־הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וַיַּעֲשֹוּ כָכָה גַּם־לָהֶם	36 Again he sent other servants more than the former; and they did to them in like manner.
37 וּבָאַחֲרוֹנָה שָׁלַח אֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־בְּנוֹ בְּאָמְרוֹ מִפְּנֵי בְנִי יָגוּרוּ	37 And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
38 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת הַכֹּרְמִים אֶת־הַבֵּן וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־אָחִיו זֶה הוּא הַיּוֹרֵשׁ לְכוּ וְנַהַרְגֵהוּ וְנֹאחֲזָה בְּנַחֲלָתוֹ	38 But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
39 וַיַּחֲזִיקוּ בוֹ וַיִּדְחָפוּהוּ אֶל־מִחוּץ לַכֶּרֶם וַיַּהַרְגוּ אֹתוֹ	39 And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 וְהִנֵּה כְּבוֹא בַּעַל הַכֶּרֶם מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לַכֹּרְמִים הָהֵם	40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו יָרַע לָרָעִים וִיאַבְּדֵם וְאֶת־הַכֶּרֶם יִתֵּן לְכֹרְמִים אֲחֵרִים אֲשֶׁר יָשִׁיבוּ לוֹ אֶת־הַפְּרִי בְּעִתּוֹ	41 They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
42 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם הֲכִי קָרֹא לֹא־קְרָאתֶם בַּכְּתוּבִים אֶבֶן מָאֲסוּ הַבּוֹנִים הָיְתָה לְרֹאשׁ פִּנָּה מֵאֵת יְהוָֹה הָיְתָה זֹּאת הִיא נִפְלָאת בְּעֵינֵינוּ	42 Jesus saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful in our eyes.
43 עַל־כֵּן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי־תֻקַּח מִכֶּם מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְתִנָּתֵן לְגוֹי אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת־פִּרְיָהּ	43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
44 וְהַנֹּפֵל עַל־הָאֶבֶן הַהִיא יִשָּׁבֵר וַאֲשֶׁר תִּפֹּל עָלָיו תִּשְׁחָקֵהוּ	44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֶת־מְשָׁלָיו וַיָּבִינוּ כִּי עֲלֵיהֶם דִּבֵּר	45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ לְתָפְשׂוֹ אַךְ יָרְאוּ מִפְּנֵי הֲמוֹן הָעָם כִּי לְנָבִיא חֲשָׁבֻהוּ	46 And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
