STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 וַיָּבֹאוּ אֲנָשִׁים בָּעֵת הַהִיא וַיַּגִּידוּ לוֹ עַל־דְּבַר הַגְּלִילִים אֲשֶׁר פִּילָטוֹס עֵרַב דָּמָם עִם־זִבְחֵיהֶם	1 And there were present, at that very time, some who were reporting about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
2 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הַחשְׁבִים אַתֶּם כִּי הַגְּלִילִים הָאֵלֶּה הָיוּ חַטָּאִים מִכָּל־אַנְשֵׁי הַגָּלִיל עַל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּאָה כָזֹאת עֲלֵיהֶם	2 And responding, he said to them: “Do you think that these Galileans must have sinned more than all other Galileans, because they suffered so much?
3 לֹא כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אִם־לֹא תָשׁוּבוּ תֹּאבְדוּ כֻלְּכֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם	3 No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all perish similarly.
4 אוֹ שְׁמֹנָה הֶעָשָׂר הָהֵם אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עֲלֵיהֶם הַמִּגְדָּל בְּשִׁלֹּחַ וַיְמִיתֵם הַחשְׁבִים אַתֶּם כִּי־הָיוּ אֲשֵׁמִים מִכָּל־הָאֲנָשִׁים הַיּשְׁבִים בִּירוּשָׁלָיִם	4 And those eighteen upon whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them, do you think that they also were greater transgressors than all the men living in Jerusalem?
5 לֹא כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אִם־לֹא תָשׁוּבוּ תֹּאבְדוּ כֻלְּכֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם	5 No, I tell you. But if you do not repent, you will all perish similarly.”
6 וַיִּשָּׂא מְשָׁלוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אִישׁ אֶחָד הָיְתָה־לּוֹ תְאֵנָה נְטוּעָה בְכַרְמוֹ וַיָּבֹא לְבַקֶּשׁ־בָּהּ פְּרִי וְלֹא מָצָא	6 And he also told this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree, which was planted in his vineyard. And he came seeking fruit on it, but 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 Then he said to the cultivator of the vineyard: ‘Behold, for these three years I came seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I have found none. Therefore, cut it down. For why should it even occupy the land?’
8 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנִי הַנִּיחָה אֹתָהּ עוֹד הַשָּׁנָה הַזֹּאת עַד כִּי־אֶעֱדֹר וְשַׂמְתִּי דֹמֶן סְבִיבוֹתֶיהָ	8 But in response, he said to him: ‘Lord, let it be for this year also, during which time I will dig around it and add fertilizer.
9 אוּלַי־תַּעֲשֶׂה פֶרִי וְאִם־לֹא בַּשָּׁנָה הַבָּאָה תְּגַדְּעֶנָּה	9 And, indeed, it should bear fruit. But if not, in the future, you shall cut it down.’ ”
10 וַיְהִי הוּא מְלַמֵּד בַּשַּׁבָּת בְּאֶחָד מִבָּתֵּי הַכְּנֵסִיּוֹת	10 Now he was teaching in their synagogue on the Sabbaths.
11 וְהִנֵּה אִשָּׁה טְעוּנַת רוּחַ־חֳלִי כִּשְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֶה שָׁנָה וַתְּהִי כְפוּפָה וְלֹא יָכְלָה לָקוּם קוֹמָה זְקוּפָה	11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. And she was bent over; and she was unable to look upwards at all.
12 וַיְהִי בִּרְאוֹת אֹתָהּ יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּקְרָא אֵלֶיהָ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ אִשָּׁה הֵחָלְצִי מֵחָלְיֵךְ	12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her to himself, and he said to her, “Woman, you are released from your infirmity.”
13 וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־יָדָיו עָלֶיהָ וּכְרֶגַע קָמָה וַתִּתְעוֹדָד וַתְּשַׁבַּח אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים	13 And he laid his hands upon her, and immediately she was straightened, 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 Then, as a result, the ruler of the synagogue became angry that Jesus had cured on the Sabbath, and he said to the crowd: “There are six days on which you ought to work. Therefore, come and be cured on those, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
15 וַיַּעַן הָאָדוֹן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֶחָנֵף אִישׁ אִישׁ מִכֶּם הֲלֹא יַתִּיר בַּשַּׁבָּת אֶת־שׁוֹרוֹ אוֹ אֶת־חֲמֹרוֹ מִן־הָאֵבוּס וְיוֹלִיכֵהוּ לְהַשְׁקֹתוֹ	15 Then the Lord said to him in response: “You hypocrites! Does not each one of you, on the Sabbath, release his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it to water?
16 וְזֹאת אֲשֶׁר הִיא בַּת־אַבְרָהָם וַאֲשֶׁר הַשָּׂטָן אֲסָרָהּ זֶה שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה הֲלֹא תֻתַּר מִמּוֹסְרוֹתֶיהָ בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת	16 So then, should not this daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for lo these eighteen years, be released from this restraint on the day of the Sabbath?”
17 וַיְהִי כְּאָמְרוֹ אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה נִכְלְמוּ כָּל־מִתְקוֹמְמָיו וַיִּשְׂמַח כָּל־הָעָם עַל־כָּל־הַנִּפְלָאוֹת הַנַּעֲשׂוֹת עַל־יָדוֹ	17 And as he was saying these things, all his adversaries were ashamed. And all the people rejoiced in everything that was being done gloriously by him.
18 וַיֹּאמַר לְמָה דוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְאֶל־מָה אַמְשִׁילֶנָּה	18 And so he said: “To what is the kingdom of God similar, and to what figure shall I compare it?
19 דּוֹמָה הִיא לְגַרְגֵּר שֶׁל־חַרְדָּל אֲשֶׁר לְקָחוֹ אִישׁ וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְגַנּוֹ וַיִּצְמַח וַיְהִי לְעֵץ גָּדוֹל וְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם יְקַנֵּן בַּעֲנָפָיו	19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches.”
20 וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד אֶל־מָה אֲדַמֶּה אֵת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	20 And again, he said: “To what figure shall I compare the kingdom of God?
21 דּוֹמָה הִיא לִשְׂאֹר אֲשֶׁר לְקָחַתּוּ אִשָּׁה וַתִּטְמְנֵהוּ בִּשְׁלשׁ סְאִים קֶמַח עַד כִּי־יֶחְמַץ כֻּלּוֹ	21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of fine wheat flour, until it was entirely leavened.”
22 וַיַּעֲבֹר בֶּעָרִים וּבַכְּפָרִים עָבוֹר וְלַמֵּד וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־דַּרְכּוֹ לָבוֹא יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	22 And he was traveling through the cities and towns, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem.
23 וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ אִישׁ לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנֵינוּ הַמְעַט הֵם הַנּוֹשָׁעִים	23 And someone said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” But he said to them:
24 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הִתְאַמְּצוּ לָבוֹא בַּפֶּתַח הַצָּר כִּי־אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם רַבִּים יְבַקְשׁוּ לָבוֹא וְלֹא יוּכָלוּ	24 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able.
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 Then, when the father of the family will have entered and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And in response, he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
26 אָז תָּחֵלּוּ לֵאמֹר אָכַלְנוּ וְשָׁתִינוּ לְפָנֶיךָ וּבִרְחֹבוֹתֵינוּ לִמָּדְתָּ	26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’
27 וְיֹאמַר אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אֵינֶנִּי יוֹדֵעַ אֶתְכֶם מֵאַיִן אַתֶּם סוּרוּ מִמֶּנִּי כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן	27 And he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’
28 וְשָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּרְאוּ אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־כָּל־הַנְּבִיאִים בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְאַתֶּם מְגֹרָשִׁים הַחוּצָה	28 In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, yet you yourselves are expelled outside.
29 וְיָבֹאוּ מִמִּזְרָח וּמִמַּעֲרָב וּמִצָּפוֹן וּמִדָּרוֹם וְיָסֵבּוּ בְּמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	29 And they will arrive from the East, and the West, and the North, and the South; and they will recline at table in the kingdom of God.
30 וְהִנֵּה יֵשׁ אַחֲרוֹנִים אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ רִאשׁוֹנִים וְרִאשׁוֹנִים אֲשֶׁר יִהְיוּ אַחֲרוֹנִים	30 And behold, those who are last will be first, and those who are first will be last.”
31 בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נִגְּשׁוּ מִן־הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו צֵא וְלֵךְ מִזֶּה כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס מְבַקֵּשׁ לְהָרְגֶךָ	31 On the same day, some of the Pharisees approached, saying to him: “Depart, and go away from here. For Herod wishes to kill you.”
32 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ וְאִמְרוּ אֶל־הַשּׁוּעָל הַזֶּה הִנְנִי מְגָרֵשׁ שֵׁדִים וּפֹעֵל רְפוּאוֹת הַיּוֹם וּמָחָר וּבַשְּׁלִישִׁי אָבֹא עַד־קִצִּי	32 And he said to them: “Go and tell that fox: ‘Behold, I cast out demons and accomplish healings, today and tomorrow. And on the third day I reach the end.’
33 אֲבָל הָלוֹךְ אֵלֵךְ הַיּוֹם וּמָחָר וּמִמָּחֳרָתוֹ כִּי לֹא־יִתָּכֵן אֲשֶׁר יֹאבַד נָבִיא מִחוּץ לִירוּשָׁלָיִם	33 Yet truly, it is necessary for me to walk today and tomorrow and the following day. For it does not fall to a prophet to perish beyond 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 kill the prophets, and you stone those who are sent to you. Daily, I wanted to gather together your children, in the manner of a bird with her nest under her wings, but you were not willing!
35 הִנֵּה בֵיתְכֶם יֵעָזֵב לָכֶם שָׁמֵם וַאֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי־רָאֹה לֹא תִרְאוּנִי עַד־בּוֹא הָעֵת אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמְרוּ בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֹה	35 Behold, your house will be left desolate for you. But I say to you, that you shall not see me, until it happens that you say: ‘Blessed is he who has arrived in the name of the Lord.’ ”
