STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי יֵשׁ מִן־הָעֹמְדִים פֹּה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִטְעֲמוּ מָוֶת עַד כִּי־יִרְאוּ מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים בָּאָה בִגְבוּרָה	1 And he said to them, 'In truth I tel you, there are some standing here who wil not taste death beforethey see the kingdom of God come with power.'
2 וְאַחֲרֵי שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים לָקַח יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־יַעֲקֹב וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיַּעֲלֵם עַל־הַר גָּבֹהַּ אִתּוֹ לְבַדָּם וַיִּשְׁתַּנֶּה לְעֵינֵיהֶם	2 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain ontheir own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured:
3 וּבְגָדָיו נִהְיוּ מַזְהִירִים לְבָנִים מְאֹד כַּשָּׁלֶג אֲשֶׁר לֹא יוּכַל כּוֹבֵס בָּאָרֶץ לְהַלְבִּין כְּמוֹהֶם	3 his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them.
4 וַיֵּרָא אֲלֵיהֶם אֵלִיָּהוּ וּמשֶׁה מִדַּבְּרִים עִם־יֵשׁוּעַ	4 Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus.
5 וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ רַבִּי טוֹב הֱיוֹתֵנוּ פֹה נַעֲשֶׂה־נָא שָׁלשׁ סֻכּוֹת לְךָ אַחַת וּלְמשֶׁה אַחַת וּלְאֵלִיָּהוּ אֶחָת	5 Then Peter spoke to Jesus, 'Rabbi,' he said, 'it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make threeshelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.'
6 כִּי לֹא־יָדַע מַה־יְּדַבֵּר כִּי הָיוּ נִבְהָלִים	6 He did not know what to say; they were so frightened.
7 וַיְהִי עָנָן סוֹכֵךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וַיֵּצֵא מִן־הֶעָנָן קוֹל אֹמֵר זֶה בְּנִי יְדִידִי אֵלָיו שְׁמָעוּ	7 And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, 'This is my Son,the Beloved. Listen to him.'
8 וְהֵמָּה הִבִּיטוּ כֹה וָכֹה פִּתְאֹם וְלֹא־רָאוּ עוֹד אִישׁ בִּלְתִּי אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ לְבַדּוֹ אִתָּם	8 Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
9 וַיֵּרְדוּ מִן־הָהָר וַיַּזְהִירֵם לְבִלְתִּי הַגִּיד לְאִישׁ אֶת־אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ עַד כִּי־יָקוּם בֶּן־הָאָדָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים	9 As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tel no one what they had seen, untilafter the Son of man had risen from the dead.
10 וַיִּשְׁמְרוּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר בִּלְבָבָם וַיִּדְרְשׁוּ לָדַעַת מַה־הִיא הַתְּקוּמָה מִן־הַמֵּתִים	10 They observed the warning faithful y, though among themselves they discussed what 'rising from thedead' could mean.
11 וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ לֵאמֹר מַה־זֶּה אֹמְרִים הַסּוֹפְרִים כִּי אֵלִיָּהוּ בּוֹא יָבוֹא בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה	11 And they put this question to him, 'Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?'
12 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנֵּה אֵלִיָּהוּ בָּא בָרִאשׁוֹנָה וְיָשִׁיב אֶת־הַכֹּל וּמַה־כָּתוּב עַל בֶּן־הָאָדָם הֲלֹא כִּי יְעֻנֶּה הַרְבֵּה וְיִמָּאֵס	12 He said to them, 'Elijah is indeed first coming to set everything right again; yet how is it that thescriptures say about the Son of man that he must suffer grievously and be treated with contempt?
13 אֲבָל אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם גַּם־בָּא אֵלִיָּהוּ וְגַם־עָשֹוּ לוֹ כִּרְצוֹנָם כַּאֲשֶׁר כָּתוּב עָלָיו	13 But I tel you that Elijah has come and they have treated him as they pleased, just as the scripturessay about him.'
14 וַיְהִי כְּבוֹאוֹ אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיַּרְא עַם־רָב סְבִיבוֹתָם וְסוֹפְרִים מִתְוַכְּחִים אִתָּם	14 As they were rejoining the disciples they saw a large crowd round them and some scribes arguing withthem.
15 וְכָל־הָעָם כִּרְאוֹתָם אֹתוֹ כֵּן תָּמָהוּ וַיָּרוּצוּ אֵלָיו וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ־לוֹ לְשָׁלוֹם	15 At once, when they saw him, the whole crowd were struck with amazement and ran to greet him.
16 וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־הַסּוֹפְרִים מָה־אַתֶּם מִתְוַכְּחִים עִמָּהֶם	16 And he asked them, 'What are you arguing about with them?'
17 וַיַּעַן אֶחָד מִן־הָעָם וַיֹּאמַר רַבִּי הֵבֵאתִי אֵלֶיךָ אֶת־בְּנִי אֲשֶׁר־רוּחַ אִלֵּם בְּקִרְבּוֹ	17 A man answered him from the crowd, 'Master, I have brought my son to you; there is a spirit ofdumbness in him,
18 וְהָיָה בְּכָל־מָקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יֹאחֲזֵהוּ הוּא מְרַצֵּץ אֹתוֹ וְיָרַד רִירוֹ וְחָרַק אֶת־שִׁנָּיו וְיָבֵשׁ גּוּפוֹ וָאֹמַר אֶל־תַּלְמִידֶיךָ לְגָרְשׁוֹ וְלֹא יָכֹלוּ	18 and when it takes hold of him it throws him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds histeeth and goes rigid. And I asked your disciples to drive it out and they were unable to.'
19 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הוֹי דּוֹר בִּלְתִּי מַאֲמִין עַד־מָתַי אֶהְיֶה עִמָּכֶם עַד־מָתַי אֶסְבֹּל אֶתְכֶם הָבִיאוּ אֹתוֹ לְפָנָי	19 In reply he said to them, 'Faithless generation, how much longer must I be among you? How muchlonger must I put up with you? Bring him to me.'
20 וַיְבִיאֻהוּ לְפָנָיו וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאָהוּ הָרוּחַ וַיְרוֹצְצֶנּוּ פִתְאֹם וַיִּפֹּל אַרְצָה וַיִּתְגּוֹלֵל וַיּוֹרֶד רִירוֹ	20 They brought the boy to him, and at once the spirit of dumbness threw the boy into convulsions, andhe fel to the ground and lay writhing there, foaming at the mouth.
21 וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־אָבִיו כַּמָּה יָמִים הָיְתָה־לּוֹ זֹאת וַיֹּאמֶר מִימֵי נְעוּרָיו	21 Jesus asked the father, 'How long has this been happening to him?' 'From childhood,' he said,
22 וּפְעָמִים רַבּוֹת הִפִּיל אֹתוֹ גַּם־בָּאֵשׁ גַּם־בַּמַּיִם לְהַאֲבִידוֹ אַךְ אִם־יָכֹל תּוּכַל רַחֵם עָלֵינוּ וְעָזְרֵנוּ	22 'and it has often thrown him into fire and into water, in order to destroy him.
23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לֵאמֹר אִם־תּוּכַל לְהַאֲמִין כֹּל יוּכַל הַמַּאֲמִין	23 But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us.'
24 וַיִּתֵּן אֲבִי הַיֶּלֶד אֶת־קֹלוֹ בִּבְכִי וַיֹּאמַר אֲנִי מַאֲמִין אֲדֹנִי עֲזָר־נָא לְחֶסְרוֹן אֱמוּנָתִי	24 'If you can?' retorted Jesus. 'Everything is possible for one who has faith.' At once the father of the boycried out, 'I have faith. Help my lack of faith!'
25 וַיַּרְא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־הָעָם מִתְקַבֵּץ אֵלָיו וַיִּגְעַר בָּרוּחַ הַטָּמֵא לֵאמֹר רוּחַ אִלֵּם וְחֵרֵשׁ אֲנִי מְצַוְּךָ צֵא מִמֶּנּוּ וְאַל־תֹּסֶף לָבוֹא־בוֹ עוֹד	25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd was gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit. 'Deaf and dumbspirit,' he said, 'I command you: come out of him and never enter him again.'
26 וַיִּצְעַק וַיְרַצֵּץ אֹתוֹ מְאֹד וַיֵּצֵא וַיְהִי כַמֵּת עַד אֲשֶׁר־אָמְרוּ רַבִּים כִּי גָוָע	26 Then it threw the boy into violent convulsions and came out shouting, and the boy lay there so like acorpse that most of them said, 'He is dead.'
27 וַיַּחֲזֵק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּיָדוֹ וַיְנִיעֵהוּ וַיָּקֹם	27 But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him up, and he was able to stand.
28 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּא הַבַּיְתָה וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ תַלְמִידָיו בִּהְיוֹתָם לְבַדָּם אִתּוֹ מַדּוּעַ אֲנַחְנוּ לֹא יָכֹלְנוּ לְגָרְשׁוֹ	28 When he had gone indoors, his disciples asked him when they were by themselves, 'Why were weunable to drive it out?'
29 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הַמִּין הַזֶּה יָצֹא לֹא יֵצֵא כִּי אִם־בִּתְפִלָּה וּבְצוֹם	29 He answered, 'This is the kind that can be driven out only by prayer.'
30 וַיֵּצְאוּ מִשָּׁם וַיַּעַבְרוּ בַּגָּלִיל וְלֹא אָבָה לְהִוָּדַע לְאִישׁ	30 After leaving that place they made their way through Galilee; and he did not want anyone to know,
31 כִּי הָיָה מְלַמֵּד אֶת־תַּלְמִידָיו לֵאמֹר אֲלֵיהֶם כִּי עָתִיד בֶּן־הָאָדָם לְהִמָּסֵר בִּידֵי בְנֵי־אָדָם וְיַהַרְגֻהוּ וְאַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר נֶהֱרַג יָקוּם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי	31 because he was instructing his disciples; he was telling them, 'The Son of man wil be delivered intothe power of men; they will put him to death; and three days after he has been put to death he will rise again.'
32 וְהֵם לֹא הֵבִינוּ אֵת הַדָּבָר וַיִּירְאוּ לִשְׁאֹל אוֹתוֹ	32 But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to ask him.
33 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־כְּפַר־נַחוּם וּבִהְיוֹתוֹ בַבַּיִת וַיִּשְׁאַל אוֹתָם מָה הִתְוַכַּחְתֶּם אִישׁ עִם־רֵעֵהוּ בַּדָּרֶךְ	33 They came to Capernaum, and when he got into the house he asked them, 'What were you arguingabout on the road?'
34 וַיַּחֲרִישׁוּ כִּי הִתְעַשְּׂקוּ בַדֶּרֶךְ מִי הוּא הַגָּדוֹל בָּהֶם	34 They said nothing, because on the road they had been arguing which of them was the greatest.
35 וַיֵּשֶׁב וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אִישׁ כִּי־יַחְפֹּץ לִהְיוֹת הָרִאשׁוֹן הוּא יִהְיֶה הָאַחֲרוֹן לְכֻלָּם וּמְשָׁרֵת כֻּלָּם	35 So he sat down, called the Twelve to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be first, he must make himselflast of all and servant of all.'
36 וַיִּקַּח יֶלֶד וַיַּעֲמִידֵהוּ בְתוֹכָם וַיְחַבְּקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם	36 He then took a little child whom he set among them and embraced, and he said to them,
37 כָּל־אֲשֶׁר יְקַבֵּל בִּשְׁמִי יֶלֶד אֶחָד כָּזֶה הוּא מְקַבֵּל אוֹתִי וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר אוֹתִי יְקַבֵּל אֵינֶנּוּ מְקַבֵּל אוֹתִי כִּי אִם־אֶת־אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי	37 'Anyone who welcomes a little child such as this in my name, welcomes me; and anyone whowelcomes me, welcomes not me but the one who sent me.'
38 וַיַּעַן יוֹחָנָן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו רַבִּי רָאִינוּ אִישׁ מְגָרֵשׁ שֵׁדִים בְּשִׁמְךָ וְאֵינֶנּוּ הוֹלֵךְ אַחֲרֵינוּ וַנַּעֲצוֹר בַּעֲדוֹ יַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־הָלַךְ אַחֲרֵינוּ	38 John said to him, 'Master, we saw someone who is not one of us driving out devils in your name, andbecause he was not one of us we tried to stop him.'
39 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אַל־תַּעַצְרֻהוּ כִּי אֵין אִישׁ עֹשֶׂה גְבוּרָה בִּשְׁמִי וְיוּכַל בִּמְהֵרָה לְדַבֵּר־בִּי רָעָה	39 But Jesus said, 'You must not stop him; no one who works a miracle in my name could soonafterwards speak evil of me.
40 כִּי כֹל אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ נֶגְדֵּנוּ הוּא בַעֲדֵנוּ	40 Anyone who is not against us is for us.
41 כִּי כָל־הַמַּשְׁקֶה אֶתְכֶם כּוֹס מַיִם בִּשְׁמִי עַל־אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם לַמָּשִׁיחַ אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי לֹא־יֹאבַד שְׂכָרוֹ	41 'If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink because you belong to Christ, then in truth I tel you, he wilmost certainly not lose his reward.
42 וְכָל־הַמַּכְשִׁיל אַחַד הַקְּטַנִּים הַמַּאֲמִינִים בִּי טוֹב לוֹ שֶׁיִּתָּלֶה פֶלַח־רֶכֶב עַל־צַוָּארוֹ וְהֻשְׁלַךְ בַּיָּם	42 'But anyone who is the downfal of one of these little ones who have faith, would be better thrown intothe sea with a great mil stone hung round his neck.
43 וְאִם־יָדְךָ תַכְשִׁילְךָ קַצֵּץ אֹתָהּ טוֹב לְךָ לָבוֹא קִטֵּעַ לַחַיִּים מִהְיוֹת לְךָ שְׁתֵּי יָדַיִם וְתֵלֵךְ אֶל־גֵּיהִנֹּם אֶל־הָאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִכְבֶּה	43 And if your hand should be your downfal , cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than tohave two hands and go to hel , into the fire thatnever be put out.
44 אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם תּוֹלַעְתָּם לֹא תָמוּת וְאִשָּׁם לֹא תִכְבֶּה	44
45 וְאִם־רַגְלְךָ תַכְשִׁילְךָ קַצֵּץ אֹתָהּ טוֹב לְךָ לָבוֹא פִסֵּחַ לַחַיִּים מִהְיוֹת לְךָ שְׁתֵּי רַגְלַיִם וְתֻשְׁלַךְ לְגֵיהִנֹּם אֶל־הָאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִכְבֶּה	45 And if your foot should be your downfal , cut it off; it is better for you enter into life lame, than to havetwo feet and be thrown into hell.
46 אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם תּוֹלַעְתָּם לֹא תָמוּת וְאִשָּׁם לֹא תִכְבֶּה	46
47 וְאִם־עֵינְךָ תַכְשִׁילְךָ עֲקֹר אֹתָהּ טוֹב לְךָ לָבוֹא אֶל־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים בְּעַיִן אַחַת מִהְיוֹת לְךָ שְׁתֵּי עֵינַיִם וְתֻשְׁלַךְ לְגֵיהִנֹּם	47 And if your eye should be your downfal , tear it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of Godwith one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell
48 אֲשֶׁר־שָׁם תּוֹלַעְתָּם לֹא תָמוּת וְאִשָּׁם לֹא תִכְבֶּה	48 where their worm will never die nor their fire be put out.
49 כִּי כָל־אִישׁ בָּאֵשׁ יָמְלָח וְכָל־קָרְבָּן בַּמֶּלַח יָמְלָח	49 For everyone wil be salted with fire.
50 טוֹב הַמֶּלַח וְאִם־הַמֶּלַח יִהְיֶה תָפֵל בַּמֶּה תְּתַקְּנוּ אוֹתוֹ יְהִי־לָכֶם מֶלַח בְּקִרְבְּכֶם וִיהִי שָׁלוֹם בֵּינֵיכֶם	50 Salt is a good thing, but if salt has become insipid, how can you make it salty again? Have salt inyourselves and be at peace with one another.'
