STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וּבְאֶחָד בַּשַּׁבָּת לִפְנֵי עֲלוֹת הַשַּׁחַר בָּאוּ אֶל־הַקָּבֶר וַתְּבִיאֶינָה אֶת־הַבְּשָׂמִים אֲשֶׁר הֵכִינוּ וְעִמָּהֶן עוֹד אֲחֵרוֹת	1 And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.
2 וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן גְּלוּלָה מִן־הַקָּבֶר	2 And they found the stone rolled back from the sepulchre.
3 וַתָּבֹאנָה פְנִימָה וְלֹא מָצְאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיַּת הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ	3 And going in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 וַיְהִי הֵנָּה נְבֻכוֹת עַל־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְהִנֵּה שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים עָמְדוּ עֲלֵיהֶן וּלְבוּשֵׁיהֶם מַזְהִירִים	4 And it came to pass, as they were astonished in their mind at this, behold, two men stood by them, in shining apparel.
5 וַיִּפֹּל פַּחַד עֲלֵיהֶן וַתִּקֹּדְנָה אַפַּיִם אָרְצָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶן מַה־תְּבַקֵּשְׁנָה אֶת־הַחַי אֵצֶל הַמֵּתִים	5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their countenance towards the ground, they said unto them: Why seek you the living with the dead?
6 אֵינֶנּוּ פֹה כִּי קָם זְכֹרְנָה אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיכֶן בְּעוֹד הֱיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל לֵאמֹר	6 He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke unto you, when he was in Galilee,
7 כִּי צָרִיךְ בֶּן־הָאָדָם לְהִמָּסֵר לִידֵי אֲנָשִׁים חַטָּאִים וּלְהִצָּלֵב וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי קוֹם יָקוּם	7 Saying: The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 וַתִּזְכֹּרְנָה אֶת־דְּבָרָיו	8 And they remembered his words.
9 וַתָּשֹׁבְנָה מִן־הַקָּבֶר וַתַּגֵּדְנָה אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לְאַחַד הֶעָשָׂר וּלְכֹל הָאֲחֵרִים	9 And going back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וְיוֹחָנָה וּמִרְיָם אֵם יַעֲקֹב וְהָאֲחֵרוֹת אֲשֶׁר עִמָּהֶן הֵנָּה הָיוּ הַמְדַבְּרוֹת אֶל־הַשְּׁלִיחִים אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה	10 And it was Mary Magdalen, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women that were with them, who told these things to the apostles.
11 וַיִּהְיוּ דִבְרֵיהֶן כְּדִבְרֵי־רִיק בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וְלֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ לָהֶן	11 And these words seemed to them as idle tales; and they did not believe them.
12 וּפֶטְרוֹס קָם וַיָּרָץ אֶל־הַקֶּבֶר וַיַּשְׁקֵף וְלֹא־רָאָה כִּי אִם־הַתַּכְרִיכִים מֻנָּחִים שָׁם וַיָּשָׁב לִמְקוֹמוֹ מִשְׁתּוֹמֵם עַל־הַנִּהְיָה	12 But Peter rising up, ran to the sepulchre, and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths laid by themselves; and went away wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13 וְהִנֵּה שְׁנַיִם מֵהֶם הָיוּ הֹלְכִים בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֶל־כְּפָר הַרְחֵק מִירוּשָׁלַיִם כְּשִׁשִּים רִיס וּשְׁמוֹ עַמָּאוּס	13 And behold, two of them went, the same day, to a town which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, named Emmaus.
14 וְהֵם נִדְבְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ עַל־כָּל־הַקֹּרוֹת הָאֵלֶּה	14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15 וַיְהִי בְּדַבְּרָם וּבְהִתְוַכְּחָם יָחַד וַיִּגַּשׁ יֵשׁוּעַ אַף־הוּא וַיֵּלֶךְ אִתָּם	15 And it came to pass, that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus himself also drawing near, went with them.
16 וְעֵינֵיהֶם נֶאֱחָזוּ וְלֹא יַכִּירֻהוּ	16 But their eyes were held, that they should not know him.
17 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מָה הֵמָּה הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם נֹשְׂאִים וְנֹתְנִים בָּהֶם יַחְדָּו בַּדָּרֶךְ וּפְנֵיכֶם זֹעֲפִים	17 And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another as you walk, and are sad?
18 וַיַּעַן הָאֶחָד אֲשֶׁר־שְׁמוֹ קְלֵיוֹפָס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַאַתָּה לְבַדְּךָ גָּר בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וְאֵינְךָ יֹדֵעַ אֶת־הַקֹּרֹת בָּהּ בַּיָּמִים הָאֵלֶּה	18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleophas, answering, said to him: Art thou only a stranger to Jerusalem, and hast not known the things that have been done there in these days?
19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם וּמָה הֵמָּה וַיַּגִּידוּ אֵלָיו מַעֲשֶׂה יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי אֲשֶׁר הָיָה אִישׁ נָבִיא גִּבּוֹר בְּפֹעַל וּבְאֹמֶר לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים וְלִפְנֵי כָּל־הָעָם	19 To whom he said: What things? And they said: Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;
20 וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר כֹּהֲנֵינוּ הַגְּדוֹלִים וּזְקֵנֵינוּ הִסְגִּירֻהוּ לְמִשְׁפַּט־מָוֶת וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ	20 And how our chief priests and princes delivered him to be condemned to death, and crucified him.
21 וַאֲנַחְנוּ חִכִּינוּ כִּי־הוּא הֶעָתִיד לִגְאֹל אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה בְכָל־זֹאת הַיּוֹם יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי מֵאָז נַעֲשֹוּ אֵלֶּה	21 But we hoped, that it was he that should have redeemed Israel: and now besides all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22 וְהִנֵּה גַּם־נָשִׁים מִקִּרְבֵּנוּ הֶחֱרִידֻנוּ אֲשֶׁר־קִדְּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר לָבֹא לַקָּבֶר	22 Yea and certain women also of our company affrighted us, who before it was light, were at the sepulchre,
23 וְלֹא מָצְאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיָּתוֹ וַתָּבֹאנָה וַתֹּאמַרְנָה כִּי רָאוּ גַּם־מַרְאֵה מַלְאָכִים הָאֹמְרִים כִּי־הוּא חָי	23 And not finding his body, came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, who say that he is alive.
24 וַיֵּלְכוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִשֶּׁלָּנוּ אֶל־הַקָּבֶר וַיִּמְצְאוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ הַנָּשִׁים וְאוֹתוֹ לֹא רָאוּ	24 And some of our people went to the sepulchre, and found it so as the women had said, but him they found not.
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הוֹי חַסְרֵי דַעַת וְכִבְדֵי לֵב מֵהַאֲמִין בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבְּרוּ הַנְּבִיאִים	25 Then he said to them: O foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all things which the prophets have spoken.
26 הֲלֹא עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ הָיָה לִסְבֹּל אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת וְלָבוֹא אֶל־כְּבוֹדוֹ	26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?
27 וַיָּחֶל מִמּשֶׁה וּמִכָּל־הַנְּבִיאִים וַיְבָאֵר לָהֶם אֶת־כָּל־הַכְּתוּבִים הַנֶּאֱמָרִים עָלָיו	27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded to them in all the scriptures, the things that were concerning him.
28 וַיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָר אֲשֶׁר־הֵם הֹלְכִים שָׁמָּה וַיָּשֶׂם פָּנָיו כְּהֹלֵךְ לוֹ לְדַרְכּוֹ	28 And they drew night to the town, whither they were going: and he made as though he would go farther.
29 וַיִּפְצְרוּ־בוֹ לֵאמֹר שְׁבָה אִתָּנוּ כִּי עֶת־עֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וְנָטָה הַיּוֹם וַיָּבֹא הַבַּיְתָה לָשֶׁבֶת אִתָּם	29 But they constrained him; saying: Stay with us, because it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in with them.
30 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵסֵב עִמָּהֶם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַלָּחֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּבְצַע וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם	30 And it came to pass, whilst he was at table with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and gave to them.
31 וַתִּפָּקַחְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם וַיַּכִּירֻהוּ וְהוּא חָמַק עָבַר מֵעֵינֵיהֶם	31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him: and he vanished out of their sight.
32 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ הֲלֹא הָיָה בֹעֵר לְבָבֵנוּ בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ בְּדַבְּרוֹ אֵלֵינוּ בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיִּפְתַּח־לָנוּ אֵת הַכְּתוּבִים	32 And they said one to the other: Was not our heart burning within us, whilst he spoke in this way, and opened to us the scriptures?
33 וַיָּקוּמוּ בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא וַיָּשׁוּבוּ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־אַחַד הֶעָשָׂר וְאֵת־אֲשֶׁר אִתָּם נִקְהָלִים יָחַד	33 And rising up, the same hour, they went back to Jerusalem: and they found the eleven gathered together, and those that were staying with them,
34 הָאֹמְרִים אָכֵן קָם הָאָדוֹן מִן־הַמֵּתִים וְנִרְאָה אֶל־שִׁמְעוֹן	34 Saying: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 וַיְסַפְּרוּ גַם־הֵם אֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה לָהֶם בַּדָּרֶךְ וְאֵיךְ הִכִּירֻהוּ בִּבְצִיעַת הַלָּחֶם	35 And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
36 עוֹדָם מְדַבְּרִים כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְהוּא יֵשׁוּעַ עָמַד בְּתוֹכָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם שָׁלוֹם לָכֶם	36 Now whilst they were speaking these things, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and saith to them: Peace be to you; it is I, fear not.
37 וְהֵמָּה חַתּוּ וְנִבְעָתוּ וַיַּחְשְׁבוּ כִּי־רוּחַ רָאוּ	37 But they being troubled and frightened, supposed that they saw a spirit.
38 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַה־זֶּה אַתֶּם נִבְהָלִים וְעַל־מַה־זֶּה מַחֲשָׁבוֹת עֹלוֹת בִּלְבַבְכֶם	38 And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 רְאוּ אֶת־יָדַי וְאֶת־רַגְלַי כִּי אָנֹכִי הוּא מֻשּׁוּנִי וּרְאוּ כִּי רוּחַ אֵין לוֹ בָּשָׂר וַעֲצָמוֹת כַּאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ־לִי	39 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself; handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have.
40 וְאַחֲרֵי אָמְרוֹ אֶת־זֹאת הֶרְאָה אֹתָם אֵת יָדָיו וְאֵת רַגְלָיו	40 And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and feet.
41 וְהֵם עוֹד לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ מִשִּׂמְחָה וְתָמָהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֲיֵשׁ־לָכֶם פֹּה דְּבַר־אֹכֶל	41 But while they yet believed not, and wondered for joy, he said: Have you any thing to eat?
42 וַיִּתְּנוּ לְפָנָיו חֵלֶק דָּג צָלוּי וּמְעַט צוּף דְּבָשׁ	42 And they offered him a piece of a broiled fish, and a honeycomb.
43 וַיִּקַּח וַיֹּאכַל לְעֵינֵיהֶם	43 And when he had eaten before them, taking the remains, he gave to them.
44 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֵלֶּה הֵם הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בְּעוֹד הֱיוֹתִי עִמָּכֶם כִּי הִמָּלֵא יִמָּלֵא כָּל־הַכָּתוּב עָלַי בְּתוֹרַת משֶׁה וּבַנְּבִיאִים וּבַתְּהִלִּים	44 And he said to them: These are the words which I spoke to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 אָז פָּתַח אֶת־לְבָבָם לְהָבִין אֶת־הַכְּתוּבִים	45 Then he opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures.
46 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כֵּן כָּתוּב וְכֵן נִגְזָר אֲשֶׁר יְעֻנֶּה הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְיָקוּם מִן־הַמֵּתִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי	46 And he said to them: Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise again from the dead, the third day:
47 וַאֲשֶׁר תִּקָּרֵא בִשְׁמוֹ תְּשׁוּבָה וּסְלִיחַת הַחֲטָאִים בְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִם הָחֵל מִירוּשָׁלָיִם	47 And that penance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, unto all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 וְאַתֶּם עֵדִים בָּזֹאת	48 And you are witnesses of these things.
49 וְהִנְנִי שׁוֹלֵחַ עֲלֵיכֶם אֵת הַבְטָחַת אָבִי וְאַתֶּם שְׁבוּ בָּעִיר יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עַד כִּי־תִלְבְּשׁוּ עֹז מִמָּרוֹם	49 And I send the promise of my Father upon you: but stay you in the city till you be endued with power from on high.
50 וַיּוֹלִיכֵם מִחוּץ לָעִיר עַד־בֵּית הִינִי וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־יָדָיו וַיְבָרְכֵם	50 And he led them out as far as Bethania: and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 וַיְהִי בְּבָרְכוֹ אֹתָם וַיִּפָּרֵד מֵאִתָּם וַיִּנָּשֵׂא הַשָּׁמָיְמָה	51 And it came to pass, whilst he blessed them, he departed from them, and was carried up to heaven.
52 וְהֵם הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם בְּשִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה	52 And they adoring went back into Jerusalem with great joy.
53 וַיִּהְיוּ תָמִיד בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ מְהַלְלִים וּמְבָרְכִים אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אָמֵן	53 And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
