Seconda lettera ai Corinzi (מכתב שני לקורינתים) 14

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 בָּעֵת הַהִיא שָׁמַע הוֹרְדוֹס שַׂר־רֹבַע הַמְּדִינָה אֵת שֵׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ	1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the reputation of Jesus
2 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־נְעָרָיו זֶה הוּא יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל וְהוּא קָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים עַל־כֵּן הַגְּבוּרוֹת פֹּעֲלוֹת בּוֹ	2 and said to his servants, "This man is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead; that is why mighty powers are at work in him."
3 כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס תָּפַשׂ אֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיַּאַסְרֵהוּ וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר בִּגְלַל הוֹרוֹדְיָה אֵשֶׁת פִילִפּוֹס אָחִיו	3 Now Herod had arrested John, bound (him), and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,
4 כִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר אֵלָיו לֹא נָכוֹן הֱיוֹתָהּ לְךָ לְאִשָּׁה	4 for John had said to him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
5 וַיְבַקֵּשׁ הֲמִיתוֹ אַךְ יָרֵא אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן כִּי לְנָבִיא חָשְׁבוּ אֹתוֹ	5 Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet.
6 וַיְהִי בְּיוֹם הֻלֶּדֶת הוֹרְדוֹס וַתְּרַקֵּד בַּת־הוֹרוֹדְיָה בְּתוֹכָם וַתִּיטַב בְּעֵינֵי הוֹרְדוֹס	6 But at a birthday celebration for Herod, the daughter of Herodias performed a dance before the guests and delighted Herod
7 וַיִּשָּׁבַע לָהּ וַיֹּאמַר מַה־תִּשְׁאַל נַפְשֵׁךְ וְאֶתֵּן לָךְ	7 so much that he swore to give her whatever she might ask for.
8 וְאִמָּהּ שָׂמָה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים בְּפִיהָ וַתִּשְׁאַל לֵאמֹר תְּנָה־לִּי פֹה בַּקְּעָרָה אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל	8 Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist."
9 וַיֵּעָצֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ אַךְ בַּעֲבוּר הַשְּׁבוּעָה וְהַמְסֻבִּים עִמּוֹ צִוָּה לָתֵת לָהּ	9 The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and the guests who were present, he ordered that it be given,
10 וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן מֵעָלָיו בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר	10 and he had John beheaded in the prison.
11 וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ בַּקְּעָרָה וַיִּתְּנוּ לַנַּעֲרָה וַתְּבִיאֵהוּ אֶל־אִמָּהּ	11 His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, who took it to her mother.
12 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ תַּלְמִידָיו וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיָּתוֹ וַיִּקְבְּרוּהָ וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיַּגִּידוּ לְיֵשׁוּעַ	12 His disciples came and took away the corpse and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
13 וַיְהִי כְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֶת־זֹאת וַיָּסַר מִשָּׁם בָּאֳנִיָּה אֶל־מְקוֹם חָרְבָּה לְבָדָד וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ הֲמוֹן הָעָם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו בְּרַגְלֵיהֶם מִן־הֶעָרִים	13 When Jesus heard of it, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot from their towns.
14 וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ וַיַּרְא הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וַיֶּהֱמוּ מֵעָיו עֲלֵיהֶם וַיְרַפֵּא אֶת־הַחַלָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם	14 When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick.
15 וַיְהִי לִפְנוֹת עֶרֶב וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַמָּקוֹם חָרֵב וְגַם־נָטָה הַיּוֹם שַׁלְּחָה אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וְיֵלְכוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָרִים לִקְנוֹת לָהֶם אֹכֶל	15 When it was evening, the disciples approached him and said, "This is a deserted place and it is already late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves."
16 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֵינָם צְרִיכִים לָלֶכֶת תְּנוּ־אַתֶּם לָהֶם לֶאֱכֹל	16 (Jesus) said to them, "There is no need for them to go away; give them some food yourselves."
17 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֵין־לָנוּ פֹה כִּי אִם־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת־לֶחֶם וּשְׁנֵי דָגִים	17 But they said to him, "Five loaves and two fish are all we have here."
18 וַיֹּאמַר הֲבִיאוּם אֵלַי הֲלֹם	18 Then he said, "Bring them here to me,"
19 וַיְצַו אֶת־הָעָם לָשֶׁבֶת עַל־הַדֶּשֶׁא וַיִּקַּח אֶת־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת־הַלֶּחֶם וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הַדָּגִים וַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּפְרֹס וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־הַלֶּחֶם לַתַּלְמִידִים וְהַתַּלְמִידִים נָתְנוּ לָעָם	19 and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
20 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים הַנּוֹתָרִים שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר סַלִּים מְלֵאִים	20 They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over --twelve wicker baskets full.
21 וְהָאֹכְלִים הָיוּ כַּחֲמֵשֶׁת אַלְפֵי אִישׁ מִלְּבַד הַנָּשִׁים וְהַטָּף	21 Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.
22 וַיָּאֶץ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּתַלְמִידָיו לָרֶדֶת בָּאֳנִיָּה לַעֲבֹר לְפָנָיו אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם עַד אֲשֶׁר־יְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעָם	22 Then he made the disciples get into the boat and precede him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
23 וְאַחֲרֵי שַׁלְּחוֹ אֶת־הָעָם עָלָה הָהָרָה בָּדָד לְהִתְפַּלֵּל וַיְהִי־עֶרֶב וְהוּא לְבַדּוֹ שָׁמָּה	23 After doing so, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When it was evening he was there alone.
24 וְהָאֳנִיָּה הָלְכָה בְּתוֹךְ הַיָּם וַתְּטֹרַף מִן־הַגַּלִּים כִּי הָרוּחַ לְנֶגְדָּהּ	24 Meanwhile the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by the waves, for the wind was against it.
25 וַיְהִי בָּאַשְׁמֹרֶת הָרְבִיעִית וַיָּבֹא אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ מִתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־פְּנֵי הַיָּם	25 During the fourth watch of the night, he came toward them, walking on the sea.
26 וְהַתַּלְמִידִים בִּרְאֹתָם אוֹתוֹ מִתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־פְּנֵי הַיָּם נִבְהֲלוּ לֵאמֹר מַרְאֵה־רוּחַ הוּא וַיִּצְעֲקוּ מִפָּחַד	26 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were terrified. "It is a ghost," they said, and they cried out in fear.
27 וַיְדַבֵּר יֵשׁוּעַ פִּתְאֹם אֲלֵיהֶם חִזְקוּ כִּי־אֲנִי הוּא אַל־תִּירָאוּ	27 At once (Jesus) spoke to them, "Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."
28 וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִם־אַתָּה הוּא אֲדֹנִי צַוֵּה־נָא כִּי־אָבֹא אֵלֶיךָ עַל־הַמָּיִם	28 Peter said to him in reply, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."
29 וַיֹּאמֶר בּוֹא וַיֵּרֶד פֶּטְרוֹס מִן־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־הַמַּיִם לָבוֹא אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ	29 He said, "Come." Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.
30 וַיְהִי כִּרְאֹתוֹ אֶת־הָרוּחַ כִּי חֲזָקָה הִיא וַיִּירָא וַיָּחֶל לִטְבֹּעַ וַיִּצְעַק לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי	30 But when he saw how (strong) the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"
31 וַיְמַהֵר יֵשׁוּעַ לִשְׁלֹחַ אֶת־יָדוֹ וַיַּחֲזֶק־בּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו קְטֹן הָאֱמוּנָה לָמָּה חָלַק לִבֶּךָ	31 Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
32 הֵם עָלוּ אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וְהָרוּחַ שָׁכָכָה	32 After they got into the boat, the wind died down.
33 וְאַנְשֵׁי הָאֳנִיָּה נִגְּשׁוּ וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ לֵאמֹר בֶּאֱמֶת בֶּן אֱלֹהִים אָתָּה	33 Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, "Truly, you are the Son of God."
34 וַיַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיָּם וַיָּבֹאוּ אַרְצָה גִנֵּיסַר	34 After making the crossing, they came to land at Gennesaret.
35 וַיַּכִּירוּ אֹתוֹ אַנְשֵׁי הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ אֶל־כָּל־סְבִיבוֹתֵיהֶם וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו אֵת כָּל־הַחוֹלִים	35 When the men of that place recognized him, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought to him all those who were sick
36 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי יִגְּעוּ רַק בִּכְנַף בִּגְדוֹ וְכָל־הַנֹּגְעִים נוֹשָׁעוּ	36 and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak, and as many as touched it were healed.
