STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיְהִי אִישׁ חוֹלֶה לַעְזָר שְׁמוֹ מִבֵּית־הִינִי כְּפַר מִרְיָם וּמָרְתָא אֲחוֹתָהּ	1 Now a man was ill, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
2 הִיא מִרְיָם אֲשֶׁר מָשְׁחָה אֶת־הָאָדוֹן בְּשֶׁמֶן הַמֹּר וַתְּנַגֵּב אֶת־רַגְלָיו בְּשַׂעֲרוֹתֶיהָ וְעַתָּה לַעְזָר אָחִיהָ חָלָה	2 Mary was the one who had anointed the Lord with perfumed oil and dried his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was ill.
3 וַתִּשְׁלַחְנָה אַחְיוֹתָיו אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי הִנֵּה זֶה אֲשֶׁר אָהַבְתָּ חֹלֶה הוּא	3 So the sisters sent word to him, saying, "Master, the one you love is ill."
4 וַיִּשְׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר זֹאת הַמַּחֲלָה אֵינֶנָּה לַמָּוֶת כִּי אִם־לִכְבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים לְמַעַן יִכָּבֶד־בָּהּ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים	4 When Jesus heard this he said, "This illness is not to end in death, but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it."
5 וְיֵשׁוּעַ אָהֵב אֶת מָרְתָא וְאֶת־אֲחוֹתָהּ וְאֶת־לַעְזָר	5 Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
6 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעוֹ כִּי חָלָה וַיִּתְמַהְמַהּ וַיֵּשֶׁב יוֹמַיִם בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר־הוּא שָׁם	6 So when he heard that he was ill, he remained for two days in the place where he was.
7 וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן אָמַר לְתַלְמִידָיו לְכוּ וְנָשׁוּבָה לְאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה	7 Then after this he said to his disciples, "Let us go back to Judea."
8 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו רַבִּי עַתָּה זֶה בִּקְשׁוּ הַיְּהוּדִים לִסְקָלְךָ וְאַתָּה תָּשׁוּב שָׁמָּה	8 The disciples said to him, "Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you, and you want to go back there?"
9 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ הֲלֹא שְׁתֵּים־עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁעוֹת לַיּוֹם אִישׁ כִּי־יֵלֵךְ בַּיּוֹם לֹא יִכָּשֵׁל כִּי יִרְאֶה אוֹר הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה	9 Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours in a day? If one walks during the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 אֲבָל הַהֹלֵךְ בַּלַּיְלָה יִכָּשֵׁל כִּי הָאוֹר אֵין בּוֹ	10 But if one walks at night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11 כָּזֹאת דִּבֵּר וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם לַעְזָר יְדִידֵנוּ יָשֵׁן הוּא וְאָנֹכִי הֹלֵךְ לְמַעַן אֲעִירֶנּוּ	11 He said this, and then told them, "Our friend Lazarus is asleep, but I am going to awaken him."
12 וַיֹּאמְרוּ תַּלְמִידָיו אֲדֹנִי אִם־יָשֵׁן הוּא יִוָּשֵׁעַ	12 So the disciples said to him, "Master, if he is asleep, he will be saved."
13 וְיֵשׁוּעַ דִּבֶּר עַל־מוֹתוֹ וְהֵמָּה חָשְׁבוּ כִּי עַל־מְנוּחַת הַשֵּׁנָה דִּבֵּר	13 But Jesus was talking about his death, while they thought that he meant ordinary sleep.
14 אָז גָּלָה יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־אָזְנָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לַעְזָר מֵת	14 So then Jesus said to them clearly, "Lazarus has died.
15 וְשָׂמֵחַ אֲנִי בִּגְלַלְכֶם כִּי לֹא־הָיִיתִי שָׁם לְמַעַן תַּאֲמִינוּ וְעַתָּה נִסְעָה וְנֵלְכָה אֵלָיו	15 And I am glad for you that I was not there, that you may believe. Let us go to him."
16 וַיֹּאמֶר תּוֹמָא הַנִּקְרָא דִידוּמוֹס אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים חֲבֵרָיו נֵלְכָה גַם־אֲנַחְנוּ לְמַעַן נָמוּת עִמּוֹ	16 So Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us also go to die with him."
17 וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּמְצָאֵהוּ זֶה אַרְבָּעָה יָמִים שֹׁכֵב בַּקָּבֶר	17 When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.
18 וּבֵית־הִינִי הָיָה קָרוֹב לִירוּשָׁלָיִם כְּדֶרֶךְ חֲמֵשׁ עֶשְׂרֵה רִיס	18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away.
19 וְרַבִּים מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים בָּאוּ בֵית־מָרְתָא וּמִרְיָם לְנַחֵם אֶתְהֶן עַל־אֲחִיהֶן	19 And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother.
20 וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ מָרְתָא כִּי יֵשׁוּעַ בָּא וַתֵּצֵא לִקְרָאתוֹ וּמִרְיָם יוֹשֶׁבֶת בַּבָּיִת	20 When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home.
21 וַתֹּאמֶר מָרְתָא אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנִי אִלּוּ הָיִיתָ פֹּה כִּי־אָז לֹא־מֵת אָחִי	21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.
22 וְגַם־עַתָּה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי כָל־אֲשֶׁר תִּשְׁאַל מֵאֵת אֱלֹהִים יִתֵּן לְךָ אֱלֹהִים	22 (But) even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ קוֹם יָקוּם אָחִיךְ	23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise."
24 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מָרְתָא יָדַעְתִּי כִּי יָקוּם בַּתְּקוּמָה בַּיּוֹם הָאַחֲרוֹן	24 Martha said to him, "I know he will rise, in the resurrection on the last day."
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ אָנֹכִי הַתְּקוּמָה וְהַחַיִּים הַמַּאֲמִין בִּי יִחְיֶה גַּם כִּי־יָמוּת	25 Jesus told her, "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
26 וְכָל־הַחַי אֲשֶׁר יַאֲמִין־בִּי לֹא־יָמוּת לְעוֹלָם הֲתַאֲמִינִי זֹאת	26 and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
27 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו כֵּן אֲדֹנִי הֶאֱמַנְתִּי כִּי־אַתָּה הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים הַבָּא לָעוֹלָם	27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world."
28 וַיְהִי אַחַר דַּבְּרָהּ זֹאת וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתִּקְרָא לְמִרְיָם אֲחוֹתָהּ בַּסֵּתֶר לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה הַמּוֹרֶה פֹּה וְקֹרֵא לָךְ	28 When she had said this, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying, "The teacher is here and is asking for you."
29 הִיא שָׁמְעָה וַתְּמַהֵר לָקוּם וַתָּבֹא אֵלָיו	29 As soon as she heard this, she rose quickly and went to him.
30 וְיֵשׁוּעַ טֶרֶם יָבֹא אֶל־הַכְּפָר כִּי־עוֹדֶנּוּ עֹמֵד בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר פְּגָשַׁתּוּ־שָׁם מָרְתָא	30 For Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still where Martha had met him.
31 וְהַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ אֶל־בֵּיתָהּ לְנַחֲמָהּ כִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־מִרְיָם כִּי־קָמָה פִתְאֹם וַתֵּצֵא הָלְכוּ אַחֲרֶיהָ בְּאָמְרָם כִּי־הָלְכָה לָּהּ אֶל־הַקֶּבֶר לִבְכּוֹת שָׁמָּה	31 So when the Jews who were with her in the house comforting her saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her, presuming that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 וַתָּבֹא מִרְיָם אֶל־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁוּעַ עֹמֵד שָׁם וַתֵּרֶא אֹתוֹ וַתִּפֹּל לְרַגְלָיו וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ אֲדֹנִי אִלּוּ הָיִיתָ פֹּה כִּי־אָז לֹא־מֵת אָחִי	32 When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."
33 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ אֹתָהּ בֹּכִיָּה וְגַם־הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר־בָּאוּ אִתָּהּ בֹּכִים וַתִּזְעֹם רוּחוֹ וַיְהִי מַרְעִיד	33 When Jesus saw her weeping and the Jews who had come with her weeping, he became perturbed and deeply troubled,
34 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵיפֹה שַׂמְתֶּם אֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֲדֹנִי בֹּא וּרְאֵה	34 and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Sir, come and see."
35 וַיֵּבְךְּ יֵשׁוּעַ	35 And Jesus wept.
36 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַיְּהוּדִים הִנֵּה מַה־גָּדְלָה אַהֲבָתוֹ אֹתוֹ	36 So the Jews said, "See how he loved him."
37 וּמִקְצָתָם אָמְרוּ הַפֹּקֵחַ עֵינֵי הָעִוֵּר הֲלֹא יָכֹל לַעֲשֹוֹת שֶׁגַּם־זֶה לֹא יָמוּת	37 But some of them said, "Could not the one who opened the eyes of the blind man have done something so that this man would not have died?"
38 וַיּוֹסֶף עוֹד יֵשׁוּעַ לְהִזָּעֵם בְּרוּחוֹ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־הַקֶּבֶר וְהוּא מְעָרָה וְאֶבֶן עַל־מְבוֹאָהּ	38 So Jesus, perturbed again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay across it.
39 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ שְׂאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן מֵעָלֶיהָ וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מָרְתָא אֲחוֹת הַמֵּת אֲדֹנִי הִנֵּה כְּבָר בָּאָשׁ כִּי־אַרְבָּעָה יָמִים לוֹ	39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the dead man's sister, said to him, "Lord, by now there will be a stench; he has been dead for four days."
40 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ הֲלֹא אָמַרְתִּי לָךְ כִּי אִם־תַּאֲמִינִי תֶּחֱזִי אֶת־כְּבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים	40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?"
41 וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן אֲשֶׁר הַמֵּת הוּשַׂם שָׁם וְיֵשׁוּעַ נָשָׂא אֶת־עֵינָיו לַמָּרוֹם וַיֹּאמַר אוֹדְךָ אָבִי כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי	41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus raised his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you for hearing me.
42 וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי בְכָל־עֵת תַּעֲנֵנִי אוּלָם בַּעֲבוּר הָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר סְבִיבוֹתַי דִּבַּרְתִּי לְמַעַן יַאֲמִינוּ בִי כִּי אַתָּה שְׁלַחְתָּנִי	42 I know that you always hear me; but because of the crowd here I have said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹתוֹ לְדַבֵּר וַיִּקְרָא בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל לַעְזָר קוּם צֵא	43 And when he had said this, he cried out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"
44 וַיֵּצֵא הַמֵּת וְיָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו כְּרוּכֹת בְּתַכְרִיכִין וּפָנָיו לוּטִים בְּמִטְפָּחַת וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ הַתִּירוּ אֹתוֹ וְיֵלֵךְ לְדַרְכּוֹ	44 The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them, "Untie him and let him go."
45 וְרַבִּים מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ אֶל־מִרְיָם בִּרְאוֹתָם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יֵשׁוּעַ הֶאֱמִינוּ בוֹ	45 Now many of the Jews who had come to Mary and seen what he had done began to believe in him.
46 וּמִקְצָתָם הָלְכוּ אֶל־הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיַּגִּידוּ לָהֶם אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יֵשׁוּעַ	46 But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 אָז יַקְהִילוּ הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אֶת־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין וַיֹּאמְרוּ מַה־נַּעֲשֶׂה כִּי הָאִישׁ הַלָּזֶה עֹשֶׂה אֹתוֹת הַרְבֵּה	47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees convened the Sanhedrin and said, "What are we going to do? This man is performing many signs.
48 אִם־נַנִּיחַ לוֹ לַעֲשׂוֹת כֻּלָּם יַאֲמִינוּ בוֹ וּבָאוּ הָרוֹמִיִּים וְלָקְחוּ גַּם אֶת־אַדְמָתֵנוּ וְגַם אֶת־עַמֵּנוּ	48 If we leave him alone, all will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our land and our nation."
49 וְאֶחָד מֵהֶם קַיָּפָא שְׁמוֹ וְהוּא כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם הֵן לֹא־תֵדְעוּ מְאוּמָה	49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing,
50 אַף לֹא־תָבִינוּ כִּי טוֹב לָנוּ מוּת אִישׁ אֶחָד בְּעַד הַגּוֹי מֵאֲבֹד הָעָם כֻּלּוֹ	50 nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish."
51 וְזֹאת לֹא־דִבֶּר מִלִּבּוֹ כִּי אִם־בִּהְיוֹתוֹ כֹּהֵן גָּדוֹל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא נִבָּא כִּי־יֵשׁוּעַ יָמוּת בְּעַד הָעָם	51 He did not say this on his own, but since he was high priest for that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 וְלֹא־בְעַד הָעָם לְבַד כִּי אִם־לְקַבֵּץ גַּם־אֶת־בְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים הַמְפֻזָּרִים וְהָיוּ לְאֶחָד	52 and not only for the nation, but also to gather into one the dispersed children of God.
53 וַיִּוָּעֲצוּ יַחְדָּו לַהֲמִיתוֹ מֵהַיּוֹם הַהוּא וָהָלְאָה	53 So from that day on they planned to kill him.
54 עַל־כֵּן לֹא־הִתְהַלֵּךְ יֵשׁוּעַ עוֹד בְּתוֹךְ הַיְּהוּדִים בַּגָּלוּי כִּי אִם־סָר מִשָּׁם לָאָרֶץ הַקְּרוֹבָה אֶל־הַמִּדְבָּר אֶל־עִיר אֶפְרַיִם וַיָּגָר־שָׁם עִם־תַּלְמִידָיו	54 So Jesus no longer walked about in public among the Jews, but he left for the region near the desert, to a town called Ephraim, and there he remained with his disciples.
55 וַיִּקְרְבוּ יְמֵי הַפֶּסַח לַיְּהוּדִים וְעַם־רַב עָלוּ מִן־הָאָרֶץ יְרוּשָׁלַיְמָה לִפְנֵי הַפֶּסַח לְמַעַן יִטֶּהָרוּ	55 Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before Passover to purify themselves.
56 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וּבְעָמְדָם בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ נִדְבְּרוּ לֵאמֹר מַה־תַּחְשְׁבוּ הֲכִי לֹא־יָבוֹא אֶל־הֶחָג	56 They looked for Jesus and said to one another as they were in the temple area, "What do you think? That he will not come to the feast?"
57 וְהַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים גָּזְרוּ גְזֵרָה אֲשֶׁר אִם־יֵדַע אִישׁ אֶת־מְקוֹמוֹ יוֹדִיעֶנּוּ לְמַעַן יִתְפְּשֻׂהוּ	57 For the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should inform them, so that they might arrest him.
