STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 אַחֲרֵי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה הָלַךְ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל הָלוֹךְ וְעָבוֹר כִּי לֹא אָבָה לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ בִּיהוּדָה עַל־אֲשֶׁר בִּקְשׁוּ הַיְּהוּדִים לְהָרְגוֹ	1 After this, Jesus moved about within Galilee; but he did not wish to travel in Judea, because the Jews were trying to kill him.
2 וַיִּקְרַב חַג הַיְּהוּדִים הוּא חַג הַסֻּכּוֹת	2 But the Jewish feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֶחָיו קוּם וְלֵךְ מִזֶּה אַרְצָה יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ גַּם־תַּלְמִידֶיךָ אֶת־הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה	3 So his brothers said to him, "Leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.
4 כִּי לֹא־יַעֲשֶׂה אִישׁ דָּבָר בַּסֵּתֶר וְהוּא חָפֵץ לְהִתְפַּרְסֵם לָכֵן אִם־אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה כָאֵלֶּה הִגָּלֵה אֶל־הָעוֹלָם	4 No one works in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you do these things, manifest yourself to the world."
5 כִּי־אֶחָיו גַּם־הֵם לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ בּוֹ	5 For his brothers did not believe in him.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ עִתִּי לֹא־בָאָה עַד־עָתָּה וְעִתְּכֶם תָּמִיד נְכוֹנָה	6 So Jesus said to them, "My time is not yet here, but the time is always right for you.
7 לֹא־יוּכַל הָעוֹלָם לִשְׂנוֹא אֶתְכֶם וְאֹתִי יִשְׂנָא בַּאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מֵעִיד עָלָיו כִּי רָעִים מַעֲלָלָיו	7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify to it that its works are evil.
8 עֲלוּ אַתֶּם לָחֹג אֶת־הֶחָג אֲנִי עוֹד לֹא אֶעֱלֶה אֶל־הֶחָג הַזֶּה כִּי עִתִּי לֹא מָלְאָה עַד־עָתָּה	8 You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because my time has not yet been fulfilled."
9 כָּזֹאת דִּבֵּר וַיֵּשֶׁב בַּגָּלִיל	9 After he had said this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר עָלוּ אֶחָיו לָרֶגֶל וַיַּעַל גַּם־הוּא לֹא בַגָּלוּי כִּי אִם־כְּמִסְתַּתֵּר	10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but (as it were) in secret.
11 וְהַיְּהוּדִים בִּקְשֻׁהוּ בֶחָג וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַיֵּה הוּא	11 The Jews were looking for him at the feast and saying, "Where is he?"
12 וַתְּהִי תְּלוּנָה רַבָּה עַל־אֹדוֹתָיו בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם אֵלֶּה אָמְרוּ טוֹב הוּא וְאֵלֶּה אָמְרוּ לֹא כִּי־מַתְעֶה הוּא אֶת־הָעָם	12 And there was considerable murmuring about him in the crowds. Some said, "He is a good man," (while) others said, "No; on the contrary, he misleads the crowd."
13 אַךְ אֵין־אִישׁ מְדַבֵּר עָלָיו בַּגָּלוּי מִפְּנֵי יִרְאַת הַיְּהוּדִים	13 Still, no one spoke openly about him because they were afraid of the Jews.
14 וַיְהִי בַּחֲצִי יְמֵי הֶחָג עָלָה יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיְלַמֵּד	14 When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple area and began to teach.
15 וַיִּתְמְהוּ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵיךְ יָדַע זֶה סֵפֶר וְהוּא לֹא לָמָד	15 The Jews were amazed and said, "How does he know scripture without having studied?"
16 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר לִקְחִי לֹא־שֶׁלִּי הוּא כִּי אִם־לַאֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי	16 Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not my own but is from the one who sent me.
17 הָאִישׁ הֶחָפֵץ לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנוֹ יֵדַע לִקְחִי אִם־מֵאֵת אֱלֹהִים הוּא וְאִם־מִנַּפְשִׁי אֲדַבֵּר	17 Whoever chooses to do his will shall know whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own.
18 הַמְדַבֵּר מִנַּפְשׁוֹ כְּבוֹד עַצְמוֹ יְבַקֵּשׁ אֲבָל הַמְבַקֵּשׁ כְּבוֹד שֹׁלְחוֹ נֶאֱמָן הוּא וְאֵין עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ	18 Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no wrong in him.
19 הֲלֹא משֶׁה נָתַן לָכֶם אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה וְאֵין־אִישׁ מִכֶּם עֹשֶׂה הַתּוֹרָה מַדּוּעַ תְּבַקְשׁוּ לְהָרְגֵנִי	19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"
20 וַיַּעַן הָעָם וַיֹּאמַר שֵׁד בְּקִרְבְּךָ מִי מְבַקֵּשׁ לְהָרְגֶךָ	20 The crowd answered, "You are possessed! Who is trying to kill you?"
21 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם פְּעֻלָּה אַחַת פָּעַלְתִּי וְכֻלְּכֶם עָלֶיהָ תִתְמָהוּ	21 Jesus answered and said to them, "I performed one work and all of you are amazed
22 משֶׁה נָתַן לָכֶם הַמִּילָה אַךְ לֹא מִמּשֶׁה הִיא כִּי אִם־מִן־הָאָבוֹת וּבְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת תָּמוּלוּ כָל־זָכָר	22 because of it. Moses gave you circumcision--not that it came from Moses but rather from the patriarchs--and you circumcise a man on the sabbath.
23 וְעַתָּה אִם־יִמּוֹל זָכָר בַּשַּׁבָּת לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תוּפַר תּוֹרַת משֶׁה מַה־תִּקְצְפוּ עָלַי כִּי רִפֵּאתִי אִישׁ כֻּלּוֹ בַּשַּׁבָּת	23 If a man can receive circumcision on a sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole person well on a sabbath?
24 אַל־תִּשְׁפְּטוּ לְמַרְאֵה עָיִן כִּי אִם־מִשְׁפַּט־צֶדֶק שְׁפֹטוּ	24 Stop judging by appearances, but judge justly."
25 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִיּשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם הֲלֹא זֶה הוּא אֲשֶׁר בִּקְשׁוּ לַהֲמִיתוֹ	25 So some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, "Is he not the one they are trying to kill?
26 וְהִנֵּה הוּא דֹּבֵר בַּגָּלוּי וְלֹא יִגְעֲרוּ בּוֹ הַאַף אֻמְנָם יָדְעוּ רָאשֵׁינוּ כִּי־בֶאֱמֶת זֶה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	26 And look, he is speaking openly and they say nothing to him. Could the authorities have realized that he is the Messiah?
27 אַךְ אֶת־זֶה יָדַעְנוּ מֵאַיִן הוּא וְכַאֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ לֹא־יֵדַע אִישׁ אֵי־מִזֶּה הוּא	27 But we know where he is from. When the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from."
28 אָז קָרָא יֵשׁוּעַ בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיְלַמֵּד לֵאמֹר הֵן יְדַעְתֶּם אֹתִי אַף־יְדַעְתֶּם מֵאַיִן אָנִי וּמִנַּפְשִׁי לֹא־בָאתִי אָכֵן יֵשׁ אֲמִתִּי אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחַנִי וְאֹתוֹ לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם	28 So Jesus cried out in the temple area as he was teaching and said, "You know me and also know where I am from. Yet I did not come on my own, but the one who sent me, whom you do not know, is true.
29 וַאֲנִי יְדַעְתִּיו כִּי מֵאִתּוֹ אָנִי וְהוּא שְׁלָחָנִי	29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
30 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ לְתָפְשׂוֹ וְאִישׁ לֹא־שָׁלַח בּוֹ יָד כִּי לֹא־בָא עִתּוֹ	30 So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 וְרַבִּים מִן־הָעָם הֶאֱמִינוּ בוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִם־יָבֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ הֲגַם יַעֲשֶׂה אֹתוֹת רַבּוֹת מֵאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה זֶה	31 But many of the crowd began to believe in him, and said, "When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man has done?"
32 וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים שָׁמְעוּ אֶת־הָעָם מִתְלַחֲשִׁים עָלָיו כָּזֹאת וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים מְשָׁרְתִים לְתָפְשׂוֹ	32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring about him to this effect, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent guards to arrest him.
33 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אַךְ־לְמִצְעָר עוֹדֶנִּי עִמָּכֶם וְהָלַכְתִּי אֶל־אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי	33 So Jesus said, "I will be with you only a little while longer, and then I will go to the one who sent me.
34 תְּשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא תִמְצָאֻנְנִי וּבַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי שָׁם אַתֶּם לֹא תוּכְלוּ לָבוֹא	34 You will look for me but not find (me), and where I am you cannot come."
35 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַיְּהוּדִים אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ אָנָה יֵלֵךְ זֶה וַאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נִמְצָאֵהוּ הֲכִי יֵלֵךְ אֶל־הַנְּפוֹצִים בֵּין הַיְּוָנִים וִילַמֵּד אַנְשֵׁי יָוָן	35 So the Jews said to one another, "Where is he going that we will not find him? Surely he is not going to the dispersion among the Greeks to teach the Greeks, is he?
36 מַה־זֶּה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָמַר תְּשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא תִמְצָאֻנְנִי וּבַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי שָׁם אַתֶּם לֹא תוּכְלוּ לָבוֹא	36 What is the meaning of his saying, 'You will look for me and not find (me), and where I am you cannot come'?"
37 וַיְהִי בְּיוֹם הֶחָג הָאַחֲרוֹן הַגָּדוֹל עָמַד יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּקְרָא לֵאמֹר אִישׁ כִּי יִצְמָא יָבֹא־נָא אֵלַי וְיִשְׁתֶּה	37 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and exclaimed, "Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink.
38 הַמַּאֲמִין בִּי כִּדְבַר הַכָּתוּב מִבִּטְנוֹ יִנְהֲרוּ נַהֲרֵי מַיִם חַיִּים	38 Whoever believes in me, as scripture says: 'Rivers of living water will flow from within him.'"
39 וְזֹאת אָמַר עַל־הָרוּחַ אֲשֶׁר יִקָּחֻהוּ הַמַּאֲמִינִים בּוֹ כִּי טֶרֶם־נִתַּן רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ יַעַן אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁוּעַ עוֹד לֹא נִתְפָּאָר	39 He said this in reference to the Spirit that those who came to believe in him were to receive. There was, of course, no Spirit yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 וְרַבִּים מֵהֲמוֹן הָעָם כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה אָמְרוּ אָכֵן זֶה הוּא הַנָּבִיא	40 Some in the crowd who heard these words said, "This is truly the Prophet."
41 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ זֶה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ הֲמִן־הַגָּלִיל יָבֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	41 Others said, "This is the Messiah." But others said, "The Messiah will not come from Galilee, will he?
42 הֲלֹא הַכָּתוּב אֹמֵר כִּי מִזֶּרַע דָּוִד וּמִכְּפַר בֵּית־לֶחֶם מְקוֹם דָּוִד יֵצֵא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	42 Does not scripture say that the Messiah will be of David's family and come from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?"
43 וַתְּהִי מַחֲלֹקֶת בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם עַל־אֹדוֹתָיו	43 So a division occurred in the crowd because of him.
44 וּמִקְצָתָם רָצוּ לְתָפְשׂוֹ וְאִישׁ לֹא־שָׁלַח בּוֹ יָד	44 Some of them even wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 וַיָּשׁוּבוּ הַמְשָׁרְתִים אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים וְהֵמָּה אָמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם מַדּוּעַ לֹא־הֲבֵאתֶם אֹתוֹ	45 So the guards went to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why did you not bring him?"
46 וַיַּעֲנוּ הָעֲבָדִים מֵעוֹלָם לֹא־דִבֶּר אִישׁ כָּאִישׁ הַזֶּה	46 The guards answered, "Never before has anyone spoken like this one."
47 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם הַפְּרוּשִׁים הֲכִי נִדַּחְתֶּם גַּם־אַתֶּם	47 So the Pharisees answered them, "Have you also been deceived?
48 הֲגַם־הֶאֱמִין בּוֹ אִישׁ מִן־הַשָּׂרִים אוֹ מִן־הַפְּרוּשִׁים	48 Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?
49 רַק הֶהָמוֹן הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֵינָם יֹדְעִים אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה אֲרוּרִים הֵמָּה	49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, is accursed."
50 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נַקְדִּימוֹן אֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֵלָיו בַּלַּיְלָה וְהוּא הָיָה אֶחָד מֵהֶם	50 Nicodemus, one of their members who had come to him earlier, said to them,
51 הֲתִשְׁפֹּט תּוֹרָתֵנוּ אִישׁ בְּטֶרֶם תַּחְקְרֵהוּ לָדַעַת אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה	51 "Does our law condemn a person before it first hears him and finds out what he is doing?"
52 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲגַם־אַתָּה מִן־הַגָּלִיל דְּרָשׁ־נָא וּרְאֵה כִּי לֹא־קָם נָבִיא מִן־הַגָּלִיל	52 They answered and said to him, "You are not from Galilee also, are you? Look and see that no prophet arises from Galilee."
53 וַיֵּלְכוּ אִישׁ אִישׁ לְבֵיתוֹ	53 Then each went to his own house,
