STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֲנָשִׁים בָּעֵת הַהִיא וַיַּגִּידוּ לוֹ עַל־דְּבַר הַגְּלִילִים אֲשֶׁר פִּילָטוֹס עֵרַב דָּמָם עִם־זִבְחֵיהֶם	1 It was just about this time that some people arrived and told him about the Galileans whose bloodPilate had mingled with that of their sacrifices. At this he said to them,
2 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הַחשְׁבִים אַתֶּם כִּי הַגְּלִילִים הָאֵלֶּה הָיוּ חַטָּאִים מִכָּל־אַנְשֵׁי הַגָּלִיל עַל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָה כָזֹאת עֲלֵיהֶם	2 'Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than any others, that this should havehappened to them?
3 לֹא כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אִם־לֹא תָשׁוּבוּ תֹּאבְדוּ כֻלְּכֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם	3 They were not, I tel you. No; but unless you repent you wil al perish as they did.
4 אוֹ שְׁמֹנָה הֶעָשָׂר הָהֵם אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עֲלֵיהֶם הַמִּגְדָּל בְּשִׁלֹּחַ וַיְמִיתֵם הַחשְׁבִים אַתֶּם כִּי־הָיוּ אֲשֵׁמִים מִכָּל־הָאֲנָשִׁים הַיּשְׁבִים בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם	4 Or those eighteen on whom the tower at Siloam fel , kil ing them al ? Do you suppose that they weremore guilty than al the other people living in Jerusalem?
5 לֹא כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אִם־לֹא תָשׁוּבוּ תֹּאבְדוּ כֻלְּכֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם	5 They were not, I tel you. No; but unless you repent you wil al perish as they did.'
6 וַיִּשָּׂא מְשָׁלוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אִישׁ אֶחָד הָיְתָה־לּוֹ תְאֵנָה נְטוּעָה בְכַרְמוֹ וַיָּבֹא לְבַקֶּשׁ־בָּהּ פְּרִי וְלֹא מָצָא	6 He told this parable, 'A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on itbut found none.
7 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הַכֹּרֵם הִנֵּה־זֶה שָׁלשׁ שָׁנִים אָנֹכִי בָא לְבַקֵּשׁ פְּרִי בַּתְּאֵנָה הַזֹּאת וְאֵינֶנִּי מוֹצֵא גַּדַּע אוֹתָהּ לָמָּה־זֶּה תַשְׁחִית אֵת הָאֲדָמָה	7 He said to his vinedresser, "For three years now I have been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree andfinding none. Cut it down: why should it be taking up the ground?"
8 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנִי הַנִּיחָה אֹתָהּ עוֹד הַשָּׁנָה הַזֹּאת עַד כִּי־אֶעֱדֹר וְשַׂמְתִּי דֹמֶן סְבִיבוֹתֶיהָ	8 "Sir," the man replied, "leave it one more year and give me time to dig round it and manure it:
9 אוּלַי־תַּעֲשֶׂה פֶרִי וְאִם־לֹא בַּשָּׁנָה הַבָּאָה תְּגַדְּעֶנָּה	9 it may bear fruit next year; if not, then you can cut it down." '
10 וַיְהִי הוּא מְלַמֵּד בַּשַּׁבָּת בְּאֶחָד מִבָּתֵּי הַכְּנֵסִיּוֹת	10 One Sabbath day he was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11 וְהִנֵּה אִשָּׁה טְעוּנַת רוּחַ־חֳלִי כִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֶה שָׁנָה וַתְּהִי כְפוּפָה וְלֹא יָכְלָה לָקוּם קוֹמָה זְקוּפָה	11 and there before him was a woman who for eighteen years had been possessed by a spirit thatcrippled her; she was bent double and quite unable to stand upright.
12 וַיְהִי בִּרְאוֹת אֹתָהּ יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּקְרָא אֵלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ אִשָּׁה הֵחָלְצִי מֵחָלְיֵךְ	12 When Jesus saw her he cal ed her over and said, 'Woman, you are freed from your disability,'
13 וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־יָדָיו עָלֶיהָ וּכְרֶגַע קָמָה וַתִּתְעוֹדָד וַתְּשַׁבַּח אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים	13 and he laid his hands on her. And at once she straightened up, and she glorified God.
14 וַיִּכְעַס רֹאשׁ הַכְּנֵסֶת עַל־אֲשֶׁר רִפָּא יֵשׁוּעַ בַּשַּׁבָּת וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָעָם שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים הֵם אֲשֶׁר תֵּעָשֶׂה בָהֶם מְלָאכָה לָכֵן בָּאֵלֶּה בֹּאוּ וְהֵרָפְאוּ וְלֹא בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת	14 But the president of the synagogue was indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, and headdressed all those present saying, 'There are six days when work is to be done. Come and be healed on one ofthose days and not on the Sabbath.'
15 וַיַּעַן הָאָדוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֶחָנֵף אִישׁ אִישׁ מִכֶּם הֲלֹא יַתִּיר בַּשַּׁבָּת אֶת־שׁוֹרוֹ אוֹ אֶת־חֲמֹרוֹ מִן־הָאֵבוּס וְיוֹלִיכֵהוּ לְהַשְׁקֹתוֹ	15 But the Lord answered him and said, 'Hypocrites! Is there one of you who does not untie his ox or hisdonkey from the manger on the Sabbath and take it out for watering?
16 וְזֹאת אֲשֶׁר הִיא בַּת־אַבְרָהָם וַאֲשֶׁר הַשָּׂטָן אֲסָרָהּ זֶה שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הֲלֹא תֻתַּר מִמּוֹסְרוֹתֶיהָ בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת	16 And this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan has held bound these eighteen years -- was itnot right to untie this bond on the Sabbath day?'
17 וַיְהִי כְּאָמְרוֹ אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה נִכְלְמוּ כָּל־מִתְקוֹמְמָיו וַיִּשְׂמַח כָּל־הָעָם עַל־כָּל־הַנִּפְלָאוֹת הַנַּעֲשׂוֹת עַל־יָדוֹ	17 When he said this, all his adversaries were covered with confusion, and al the people were overjoyedat al the wonders he worked.
18 וַיֹּאמַר לְמָה דוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְאֶל־מָה אַמְשִׁילֶנָּה	18 He went on to say, 'What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with?
19 דּוֹמָה הִיא לְגַרְגֵּר שֶׁל־חַרְדָּל אֲשֶׁר לְקָחוֹ אִישׁ וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְגַנּוֹ וַיִּצְמַח וַיְהִי לְעֵץ גָּדוֹל וְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם יְקַנֵּן בַּעֲנָפָיו	19 It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden: it grew and became a tree, andthe birds of the air sheltered in its branches.'
20 וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד אֶל־מָה אֲדַמֶּה אֵת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	20 Again he said, 'What shall I compare the kingdom of God with?
21 דּוֹמָה הִיא לִשְׂאֹר אֲשֶׁר לְקָחַתּוּ אִשָּׁה וַתִּטְמְנֵהוּ בִּשְׁלשׁ סְאִים קֶמַח עַד כִּי־יֶחְמַץ כֻּלּוֹ	21 It is like the yeast a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour til it was leavened althrough.'
22 וַיַּעֲבֹר בֶּעָרִים וּבַכְּפָרִים עָבוֹר וְלַמֵּד וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־דַּרְכּוֹ לָבוֹא יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	22 Through towns and vil ages he went teaching, making his way to Jerusalem.
23 וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ אִישׁ לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנֵינוּ הַמְעַט הֵם הַנּוֹשָׁעִים	23 Someone said to him, 'Sir, wil there be only a few saved?' He said to them,
24 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הִתְאַמְּצוּ לָבוֹא בַּפֶּתַח הַצָּר כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם רַבִּים יְבַקְשׁוּ לָבוֹא וְלֹא יוּכָלוּ	24 'Try your hardest to enter by the narrow door, because, I tell you, many wil try to enter and wil notsucceed.
25 וְהָיָה מִיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר יָקוּם בַּעַל הַבַּיִת וְסָגַר אֶת־הַדָּלֶת וְתָחֵלּוּ לַעֲמֹד בַּחוּץ וְלִדְפֹּק עַל־הַדֶּלֶת לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנֵינוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ פְּתַח־לָנוּ וְעָנָה וְאָמַר אֲלֵיכֶם אֵינֶנִּי יוֹדֵעַ אֶתְכֶם מֵאַיִן אַתֶּם	25 'Once the master of the house has got up and locked the door, you may find yourself standingoutside knocking on the door, saying, "Lord, open to us," but he will answer, "I do not know where you comefrom."
26 אָז תָּחֵלּוּ לֵאמֹר אָכַלְנוּ וְשָׁתִינוּ לְפָנֶיךָ וּבִרְחֹבוֹתֵינוּ לִמָּדְתָּ	26 Then you wil start saying, "We once ate and drank in your company; you taught in our streets,"
27 וְיֹאמַר אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אֵינֶנִּי יוֹדֵעַ אֶתְכֶם מֵאַיִן אַתֶּם סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן	27 but he wil reply, "I do not know where you come from; away from me, al evil doers!"
28 וְשָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּרְאוּ אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־כָּל־הַנְּבִיאִים בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְאַתֶּם מְגֹרָשִׁים הַחוּצָה	28 'Then there wil be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob andal the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrown out.
29 וְיָבֹאוּ מִמִּזְרָח וּמִמַּעֲרָב וּמִצָּפוֹן וּמִדָּרוֹם וְיָסֵבּוּ בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	29 And people from east and west, from north and south, wil come and sit down at the feast in thekingdom of God.
30 וְהִנֵּה יֵשׁ אַחֲרוֹנִים אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ רִאשׁוֹנִים וְרִאשׁוֹנִים אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ אַחֲרוֹנִים	30 'Look, there are those now last who will be first, and those now first who wil be last.'
31 בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נִגְּשׁוּ מִן־הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו צֵא וְלֵךְ מִזֶּה כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס מְבַקֵּשׁ לְהָרְגֶךָ	31 Just at this time some Pharisees came up. 'Go away,' they said. 'Leave this place, because Herodmeans to kill you.'
32 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ וְאִמְרוּ אֶל־הַשּׁוּעָל הַזֶּה הִנְנִי מְגָרֵשׁ שֵׁדִים וּפֹעֵל רְפוּאוֹת הַיּוֹם וּמָחָר וּבַשְּׁלִישִׁי אָבֹא עַד־קִצִּי	32 He replied, 'You may go and give that fox this message: Look! Today and tomorrow I drive out devilsand heal, and on the third day I attain my end.
33 אֲבָל הָלוֹךְ אֵלֵךְ הַיּוֹם וּמָחָר וּמִמָּחֳרָתוֹ כִּי לֹא־יִתָּכֵן אֲשֶׁר יֹאבַד נָבִיא מִחוּץ לִירוּשָׁלָיִם	33 But for today and tomorrow and the next day I must go on, since it would not be right for a prophet todie outside Jerusalem.
34 יְרוּשָׁלַיִם יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הַהֹרֶגֶת אֶת־הַנְּבִיאִים וְהַסֹּקֶלֶת אֶת־הַנִּשְׁלָחִים אֵלֶיהָ כַּמֶּה פְעָמִים חָפַצְתִּי לְקַבֵּץ אֶת־בָּנַיִךְ כַּאֲשֶׁר תְּקַבֵּץ הַתַּרְנְגֹלֶת אֶת־אֶפְרוֹחֶיהָ תַּחַת כְּנָפֶיהָ וְאַתֶּם לֹא אֲבִיתֶם	34 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kil the prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How oftenhave I longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you refused!
35 הִנֵּה בֵיתְכֶם יֵעָזֵב לָכֶם שָׁמֵם וַאֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי־רָאֹה לֹא תִרְאוּנִי עַד־בּוֹא הָעֵת אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמְרוּ בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֹה	35 Look! Your house wil be left to you. Yes, I promise you, you shal not see me till the time comeswhen you are saying: Blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord!'
