STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וְשֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים לִפְנֵי חַג־הַפֶּסַח בָּא יֵשׁוּעַ לְבֵית הִינִי מְקוֹם לַעְזָר אֲשֶׁר הֵעִיר אֹתוֹ מֵעִם הַמֵּתִים	1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom he had raised fromthe dead.
2 וַיַּעֲשֹוּ־לוֹ שָׁם מִשְׁתֶּה בָּעָרֶב וּמָרְתָא מְשָׁרֶתֶת וְלַעְזָר הָיָה אֶחָד מִן־הַמְסֻבִּים אִתּוֹ	2 They gave a dinner for him there; Martha waited on them and Lazarus was among those at table.
3 וַתִּקַּח מִרְיָם מִרְקַחַת נֵרְדְּ זַךְ וְיָקָר מְאֹד לִטְרָא אַחַת מִשְׁקָלָהּ וַתִּמְשַׁח־בָּהּ אֶת־רַגְלֵי יֵשׁוּעַ וַתְּנַגֵּב אֶת־רַגְלָיו בְּשַׂעֲרוֹתֶיהָ וְהַבַּיִת יִמָּלֵא רֵיחַ הַמִּרְקָחַת	3 Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus,wiping them with her hair; the house was fil ed with the scent of the ointment.
4 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶחָד מִתַּלְמִידָיו הוּא יְהוּדָה בֶּן־שִׁמְעוֹן אִישׁ קְרִיּוֹת הֶעָתִיד לְמָסְרוֹ	4 Then Judas Iscariot -- one of his disciples, the man who was to betray him-said,
5 מַדּוּעַ לֹא־נִמְכְּרָה הַמִּרְקַחַת בִּשְׁלשׁ מֵאוֹת דִּינָר וְנִתַּן לָעֲנִיִּים	5 'Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denari and the money given to the poor?'
6 וְהוּא לֹא־דִבֶּר אֶת־זֹאת מֵחֶמְלָתוֹ עַל־הָעֲנִיִּים כִּי אִם־גַּנָּב הָיָה וְכִיס הַכֶּסֶף אִתּוֹ וַיִּשָּׂא כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יָשִׂימוּ בוֹ	6 He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was in charge of thecommon fund and used to help himself to the contents.
7 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ הַנִּיחָה־לָּהּ לְיוֹם קְבוּרָתִי צָפְנָה זֹאת	7 So Jesus said, 'Leave her alone; let her keep it for the day of my burial.
8 כִּי הָעֲנִיִּים תָּמִיד הֵמָּה עִמָּכֶם וַאֲנִי אֵינֶנִּי תָמִיד עִמָּכֶם	8 You have the poor with you always, you wil not always have me.'
9 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ עַם־רַב בִּיהוּדָה כִּי־שָׁם הוּא וַיָּבֹאוּ לֹא־בַעֲבוּר יֵשׁוּעַ לְבַדּוֹ כִּי אִם־לִרְאוֹת גַּם אֶת־לַעְזָר אֲשֶׁר הֱעִירוֹ מֵעִם הַמֵּתִים	9 Meanwhile a large number of Jews heard that he was there and came not only on account of Jesusbut also to see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.
10 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הִתְיָעֲצוּ לַהֲרֹג גַּם אֶת־לַעְזָר	10 Then the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus as well,
11 כִּי בִגְלָלוֹ בָּאוּ שָׁמָּה רַבִּים מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בְּיֵשׁוּעַ	11 since it was on his account that many of the Jews were leaving them and believing in Jesus.
12 וַיְהִי מִמָּחֳרָת כִּשְׁמוֹעַ הָמוֹן רָב אֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ לָחֹג הֶחָג כִּי־יָבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	12 The next day the great crowd of people who had come up for the festival heard that Jesus was on hisway to Jerusalem.
13 וַיִּקְחוּ בְיָדָם כַּפּוֹת תְּמָרִים וַיֵּצְאוּ לִקְרָאתוֹ וַיָּרִיעוּ לֵאמֹר הוֹשַׁע־נָא בָּרוּךְ הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם יְהוָֹה מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל	13 They took branches of palm and went out to receive him, shouting: 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who iscoming in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.'
14 וַיִּמְצָא יֵשׁוּעַ עַיִר אֶחָד וַיִּרְכַּב עָלָיו כַּאֲשֶׁר כָּתוּב	14 Jesus found a young donkey and mounted it -- as scripture says:
15 אַל־תִּירְאִי בַּת־צִיּוֹן הִנֵּה מַלְכֵּךְ יָבוֹא לָךְ רֹכֵב עַל־עַיִר בֶּן־אֲתֹנוֹת	15 Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion; look, your king is approaching, riding on the foal of a donkey.
16 וְכָל־זֹאת לֹא־הֵבִינוּ תַלְמִידָיו בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה אַךְ אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר נִתְפָּאַר יֵשׁוּעַ זָכְרוּ כִּי־כֵן כָּתוּב עָלָיו וְכִי־זֹאת עָשֹוּ לוֹ	16 At first his disciples did not understand this, but later, after Jesus had been glorified, theyremembered that this had been written about him and that this was what had happened to him.
17 וַיָּעִידוּ הָעָם אֲשֶׁר הָיוּ אֶצְלוֹ בְּקָרְאוֹ אֶל־לַעְזָר לָצֵאת מִן־הַקֶּבֶר וַיָּעַר אֹתוֹ מֵעִם הַמֵּתִים	17 The crowd who had been with him when he cal ed Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from thedead kept bearing witness to it;
18 עַל־זֹאת גַּם־הֲמוֹן הָעָם יָצָא לִקְרָאתוֹ עַל־שָׁמְעָם כִּי עָשָׂה הָאוֹת הַזֶּה	18 this was another reason why the crowd came out to receive him: they had heard that he had giventhis sign.
19 וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים דִּבְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו לֵאמֹר הַרְאִיתֶם כִּי הוֹעֵיל לֹא תוֹעִילוּ מְאוּמָה הִנֵּה כָל־הָעוֹלָם נִמְשַׁךְ אַחֲרָיו	19 Then the Pharisees said to one another, 'You see, you are making no progress; look, the whole worldhas gone after him!'
20 וּבְתוֹךְ הָעֹלִים לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת בֶּחָג הָיוּ אֲנָשִׁים יְוָנִים	20 Among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks.
21 וַיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־פִילִפּוֹס אִישׁ בֵּית־צַיְדָה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי לִרְאוֹת אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ חָפָצְנוּ	21 These approached Philip, who came from Bethsaida in Galilee, and put this request to him, 'Sir, weshould like to see Jesus.'
22 וַיָּבֹא פִילִפּוֹס וַיַּגֵּד זֹאת אֶל־אַנְדְּרָי וְאַנְדְּרַי וּפִילִפּוֹס הִגִּידוּ אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ	22 Philip went to tell Andrew, and Andrew and Philip together went to tel Jesus.
23 וַיַּעַן אוֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר בָּאָה הַשָּׁעָה שֶׁיְּפֹאַר בֶּן־הָאָדָם	23 Jesus replied to them: Now the hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified.
24 אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אִם לֹא־יִפֹּל גַּרְגֵּר הַחִטָּה אֶל־תּוֹךְ הָאֲדָמָה וָמֵת יִשָּׁאֵר לְבַדּוֹ וְכַאֲשֶׁר מֵת יַעֲשֶׂה פְּרִי הַרְבֵּה	24 In all truth I tell you, unless a wheat grain fal s into the earth and dies, it remains only a single grain;but if it dies it yields a rich harvest.
25 הָאֹהֵב אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ יְאַבְּדֶנָּה וְהַשּׂנֵא אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה יִנְצְרֶהָ לְחַיֵּי נֶצַח	25 Anyone who loves his life loses it; anyone who hates his life in this world wil keep it for eternal life.
26 הֶחָפֵץ לְשָׁרְתֵנִי יֵלֵךְ אַחֲרָי וּבַאֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה שָׁם יִהְיֶה גַּם־מְשָׁרְתִי וְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יְשָׁרְתֵנִי אֹתוֹ יְכַבֵּד אָבִי	26 Whoever serves me, must fol ow me, and my servant wil be with me wherever I am. If anyone servesme, my Father wil honour him.
27 עַתָּה נִסְעֲרָה נַפְשִׁי וּמָה אֹמַר הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי אָבִי מִן־הַשָּׁעָה הַזֹּאת אַךְ עַל־כֵּן בָּאתִי אֶל־הַשָּׁעָה הַזֹּאת	27 Now my soul is troubled. What shal I say: Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this veryreason that I have come to this hour.
28 אָבִי פָּאֵר אֶת־שְׁמֶךָ וַתֵּצֵא בַת־קוֹל מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם גַּם־פֵּאַרְתִּי וְגַם־אוֹסִיף לְפָאֵר	28 Father, glorify your name! A voice came from heaven, 'I have glorified it, and I wil again glorify it.'
29 וְהָעָם הָעֹמְדִים שָׁמָּה כְּשָׁמְעָם אָמְרוּ רַעַם נִשְׁמָע וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ מַלְאָךְ דִּבֶּר אִתּוֹ	29 The crowd standing by, who heard this, said it was a clap of thunder; others said, 'It was an angelspeaking to him.'
30 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר לֹא לְמַעֲנִי הָיָה הַקּוֹל הַזֶּה כִּי אִם־לְמַעַנְכֶם	30 Jesus answered, 'It was not for my sake that this voice came, but for yours.
31 עַתָּה מִשְׁפָּט בָּא עַל־הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה עַתָּה יֻשְׁלַךְ שַׂר הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה חוּצָה	31 'Now sentence is being passed on this world; now the prince of this world is to be driven out.
32 וַאֲנִי בְּהִנָּשְׂאִי מֵעַל־הָאָרֶץ אֶמְשֹׁךְ כֻּלָּם אֵלָי	32 And when I am lifted up from the earth, I shal draw al people to myself.'
33 וְזֹאת דִּבֶּר לִרְמוֹז אֵיזֶה מָוֶת הוּא עָתִיד לָמוּת	33 By these words he indicated the kind of death he would die.
34 וַיַּעֲנוּ אֹתוֹ הָעָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ הִנֵּה שָׁמַעְנוּ בַתּוֹרָה כִּי הַמָּשִׁיחַ יִכּוֹן לְעוֹלָם וְאֵיךְ אָמַרְתָּ כִּי בֶן־הָאָדָם צָרִיךְ לְהִנָּשֵׂא וּמִי בֶּן־הָאָדָם הַלָּזֶה	34 The crowd answered, 'The Law has taught us that the Christ wil remain for ever. So how can yousay, "The Son of man must be lifted up"? Who is this Son of man?'
35 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אַךְ־לְמִצְעָר יִהְיֶה הָאוֹר עִמָּכֶם הִתְהַלְּכוּ בְּעוֹד לָכֶם הָאוֹר פֶּן־יְשׁוּפְכֶם חשֶׁךְ וְהַהֹלֵךְ בַּחשֶׁךְ לֹא יֵדַע אָנָה הוּא הֹלֵךְ	35 Jesus then said: The light wil be with you only a little longer now. Go on your way while you have thelight, or darkness wil overtake you, and nobody who walks in the dark knows where he is going.
36 בְּעוֹד לָכֶם הָאוֹר הַאֲמִינוּ בָאוֹר לְמַעַן תִּהְיוּ בְּנֵי הָאוֹר אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה דִּבֶּר יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ וַיִּסָּתֵר מִפְּנֵיהֶם	36 While you stil have the light, believe in the light so that you may become children of light. Having saidthis, Jesus left them and was hidden from their sight.
37 רַבִּים הָאֹתוֹת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לְעֵינֵיהֶם וּבְכָל־זֹאת לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ בּוֹ	37 Though they had been present when he gave so many signs, they did not believe in him;
38 לְמַלֹּאת דְּבַר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר אָמָר יְהוָֹה מִי הֶאֱמִין לִשְׁמֻעָתֵנוּ וּזְרוֹעַ יְהוָֹה עַל־מִי נִגְלָתָה	38 this was to fulfil the words of the prophet Isaiah: Lord, who has given credence to what they haveheard from us, and who has seen in it a revelation of the Lord's arm?
39 עַל־כֵּן לֹא יָכְלוּ לְהַאֲמִין כִּי עוֹד אָמַר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ	39 Indeed, they were unable to believe because, as Isaiah says again:
40 הֵשַׁע עֵינֵיהֶם וְהִשְׁמִין לְבָבָם פֶּן־יִרְאוּ בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וּלְבָבָם יָבִין וְשָׁבוּ וְרָפָאתִי לָהֶם	40 He has blinded their eyes, he has hardened their heart, to prevent them from using their eyes to see,using their heart to understand, changing their ways and being healed by me.
41 כָּזֹאת דִּבֶּר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בִּרְאוֹתוֹ אֶת־תִּפְאַרְתּוֹ וַיִּנָּבֵא עָלָיו	41 Isaiah said this because he saw his glory, and his words referred to Jesus.
42 אוּלָם רַבִּים אַף מִן־הַשָּׂרִים הֶאֱמִינוּ־בוֹ אַךְ בִּגְלַל הַפְּרוּשִׁים לֹא הוֹדוּ לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר־לֹא יְנֻדּוּ	42 And yet there were many who did believe in him, even among the leading men, but they did not admitit, because of the Pharisees and for fear of being banned from the synagogue:
43 כִּי אָהֲבוּ כְּבוֹד אֲנָשִׁים יוֹתֵר מִכְּבוֹד הָאֱלֹהִים	43 they put human glory before God's glory.
44 וַיִּקְרָא יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר הַמַּאֲמִין בִּי לֹא־בִי הוּא מַאֲמִין כִּי אִם־בַּשֹּׁלֵחַ אֹתִי	44 Jesus declared publicly: Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in the one who sent me,
45 וְהָרֹאֶה אֹתִי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחַנִי הוּא רֹאֶה	45 and whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me.
46 אֲנִי בָאתִי לְאוֹר אֶל־הָעוֹלָם לְמַעַן כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יַאֲמִין בִּי לֹא יֵשֵׁב בַּחשֶׁךְ	46 I have come into the world as light, to prevent anyone who believes in me from staying in the darkany more.
47 וְהַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת־דְּבָרַי וְלֹא יִשְׁמְרֵם אֲנִי לֹא אֶשְׁפֹּט אֹתוֹ כִּי לֹא־בָאתִי לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת־הָעוֹלָם כִּי אִם־לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת־הָעוֹלָם	47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them faithful y, it is not I who shal judge such a person,since I have come not to judge the world, but to save the world:
48 וְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִבְזֵנִי וְלֹא יִקַּח אֲמָרַי יֵשׁ אֶחָד אֲשֶׁר־יָדִין אֹתוֹ הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי הוּא יָדִין אֹתוֹ בַּיּוֹם הָאַחֲרוֹן	48 anyone who rejects me and refuses my words has his judge already: the word itself that I havespoken wil be his judge on the last day.
49 כִּי אֲנִי לֹא מִלִּבִּי דִּבַּרְתִּי כִּי אִם־אָבִי הַשֹּׁלֵחַ אֹתִי הוּא צִוַּנִי אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אֹמַר וְאֶת־אֲשֶׁר אֲדַבֵּר	49 For I have not spoken of my own accord; but the Father who sent me commanded me what to sayand what to speak,
50 וַאֲנִי יָדַעְתִּי כִּי מִצְוָתוֹ חַיֵּי עוֹלָם לָכֵן כָּל־אֲשֶׁר אֲדַבֵּר כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמַר אֵלַי אָבִי כֵּן אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר	50 and I know that his commands mean eternal life. And therefore what the Father has told me is what Ispeak.
