STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו אִי אֶפְשַׁר שֶׁלֹּא־יָבֹאוּ הַמִּכְשֹׁלִים אֲבָל אוֹי לָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר עַל־יָדוֹ יָבֹאוּ	1 And he said to his disciples: It is impossible that scandals should not come: but woe to him through whom they come.
2 נוֹחַ לוֹ שֶׁיִּתָּלֶה פֶלַח־רֶכֶב עַל־צַוָּארוֹ וְיֻשְׁלַךְ אֶל־הַיָּם מֵאֲשֶׁר יַכְשִׁיל אֶת־אֶחָד מֵהַקְּטַנִּים הָאֵלֶּה	2 It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones.
3 הִשָּׁמְרוּ לְנַפְשׁוֹתֵיכֶם אִם־יֶחֱטָא לְךָ אָחִיךָ הוֹכַח לוֹ וְאִם־יִנָּחֵם סְלַח־לוֹ	3 Take heed to yourselves. If thy brother sin against thee, reprove him: and if he do penance, forgive him.
4 וְאִם־יֶחֱטָא לְךָ שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים בַּיּוֹם וְשָׁב אֵלֶיךָ שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים בַּיּוֹם וְאָמַר נִחָמְתִּי וְסָלַחְתָּ לּוֹ	4 And if he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day be converted unto thee, saying, I repent; forgive him.
5 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַשְּׁלִיחִים אֶל־הָאָדוֹן הוֹסֵף לָנוּ אֱמוּנָה	5 And the apostles said to the Lord: Increase our faith.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר הָאָדוֹן לוּ־הָיְתָה לָכֶם אֱמוּנָה כְּגַרְגֵר הַחַרְדָּל אָז תֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־הַתּוּת הַזֶּה הֵעָקֵר וְהִנָּטַע בְּתוֹךְ הַיָּם וְיִשְׁמַע לָכֶם	6 And the Lord said: If you had faith like to a grain of mustard seed, you might say to this mulberry tree, Be thou rooted up, and be thou transplanted into the sea: and it would obey you.
7 מִי הוּא־זֶה מִכֶּם וְלוֹ עֶבֶד חֹרֵשׁ אוֹ רֹעֶה אֲשֶׁר בְּבֹאוֹ מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה יֹאמַר אֵלָיו מַהֵר גְּשָׁה־הֵנָּה וְהָסֵב	7 But which of you having a servant ploughing, or feeding cattle, will say to him, when he is come from the field: Immediately go, sit down to meat:
8 הֲלֹא יֹאמַר אֵלָיו הָכֵן לִי אֲרוּחַת הָעֶרֶב וַחֲגֹר מָתְנֶיךָ וְשָׁרְתֵנִי עַד אִם־כִּלִּיתִי לֶאֱכֹל וְלִשְׁתּוֹת וְאַחַר תֹּאכַל וְתִשְׁתֶּה גַּם־אָתָּה	8 And will not rather say to him: Make ready my supper, and gird thyself, and serve me, whilst I eat and drink, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink?
9 הֲגַם יִתֵּן תּוֹדָה לָעֶבֶד עַל־עֲשׂתוֹ אֵת אֲשֶׁר צִוָּהוּ אָמַרְתִּי לֹא יִתֵּן	9 Doth he thank that servant, for doing the things which he commanded him?
10 כָּכָה גַם־אַתֶּם אַחֲרֵי עֲשׂוֹתְכֶם אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר צֻוֵּיתֶם אִמְרוּ עֲבָדִים אֵין־מוֹעִיל בָּם אֲנָחְנוּ כִּי רַק אֶת־הַמֻּטָּל עָלֵינוּ לַעֲשׂוֹת עָשִׂינוּ	10 I think not. So you also, when you shall have done all these things that are commanded you, say: We are unprofitable servants; we have done that which we ought to do.
11 וַיְהִי בְּנָסְעוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וְהוּא עֹבֵר בְּתוֹךְ שֹׁמְרוֹן וְהַגָּלִיל	11 And it came to pass, as he was going to Jerusalem, he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 וַיָּבֹא אֶל־כְּפָר אֶחָד וַיִּפְגָּעֻהוּ עֲשָׂרָה אֲנָשִׁים מְצֹרָעִים וְהֵם עֹמְדִים מֵרָחוֹק	12 And as he entered into a certain town, there met him ten men that were lepers, who stood afar off;
13 וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־קוֹלָם לֵאמֹר יֵשׁוּעַ מוֹרֶה חָנֵּנוּ	13 And lifted up their voice, saying: Jesus, master, have mercy on us.
14 וַיַּרְא אוֹתָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ וְהֵרָאוּ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים וַיְהִי בְלֶכְתָּם וַיִּטְהָרוּ	14 Whom when he saw, he said: Go, shew yourselves to the priests. And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean.
15 וְאֶחָד מֵהֶם בִּרְאֹתוֹ כִּי נִרְפָּא וַיָּשָׁב וַיְשַׁבַּח אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל	15 And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God.
16 וַיִּפֹּל עַל־פָּנָיו לְרַגְלָיו וַיּוֹדֶה לוֹ וְהוּא הָיָה שֹׁמְרוֹנִי	16 And he fell on his face before his feet, giving thanks: and this was a Samaritan.
17 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר הֲלֹא הָעֲשָׂרָה טֹהָרוּ וְהַתִּשְׁעָה אַיֵּה הֵם	17 And Jesus answering, said, Were not ten made clean? and where are the nine?
18 הַאִם לֹא־נִמְצָא אֲשֶׁר שָׁב לָתֵת כָּבוֹד לֵאלֹהִים זוּלָתִי הַנָּכְרִי הַזֶּה	18 There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.
19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו קוּם וָלֵךְ אֱמוּנָתְךָ הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּךְ	19 And he said to him: Arise, go thy way; for thy faith hath made thee whole.
20 וַיִּשְׁאָלֻהוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים מָתַי תָּבוֹא מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיַּעַן אֹתָם לֵאמֹר מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים לֹא תָבוֹא בְּמַרְאֵה עֵינָיִם	20 And being asked by the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come? he answered them, and said: The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 וְלֹא יֹאמְרוּ הִנֵּה־פֹה אוֹ הִנֵּה־שָׁם כִּי מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים הִנֵּה בְּקִרְבְּכֶם הִיא	21 Neither shall they say: Behold here, or behold there. For lo, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הַתַּלְמִידִים יָמִים בָּאִים וְהִתְאַוִּיתֶם לִרְאוֹת יוֹם אֶחָד מִימֵי בֶן־הָאָדָם וְלֹא תִרְאוּ	22 And he said to his disciples: The days will come, when you shall desire to see one day of the Son of man; and you shall not see it.
23 וְאִם־יֹאמְרוּ אֲלֵיכֶם הִנֵּה־שָׁם הִנֵּה פֹה אַל־תֵּלֵכוּ וְאַל־תָּרוּצוּ אַחֲרֵיהֶם	23 And they will say to you: See here, and see there. Go ye not after, nor follow them:
24 כִּי כַבָּרָק אֲשֶׁר יִבְרַק מִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם וְיָאִיר עַד־קְצֵה הַשָּׁמָיִם כֵּן־יִהְיֶה בֶן־הָאָדָם בְּיוֹמוֹ	24 For as the lightening that lighteneth from under heaven, shineth unto the parts that are under heaven, so shall the Son of man be in his day.
25 אַךְ בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה צָרִיךְ הוּא לִסְבֹּל הַרְבֵּה וּלְהִמָּאֵס מִן־הַדּוֹר הַזֶּה	25 But first he must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation.
26 וְכַאֲשֶׁר הָיָה בִּימֵי נֹחַ כֵּן יִהְיֶה בִּימֵי בֶן־הָאָדָם	26 And as it came to pass in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 אָכְלוּ וְשָׁתוּ נָשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים וְהִשִּׂיאוּ נָשִׁים לַאֲנָשִׁים עַד־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר־בָּא נֹחַ אֶל־הַתֵּבָה וַיָּבֹא הַמַּבּוּל וַיַּשְׁחֵת אֶת־כֻּלָּם	27 They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 וְכַאֲשֶׁר הָיָה בִּימֵי לוֹט אָכֹל וְשָׁתֹה קָנֹה וּמָכֹר נָטֹעַ וּבָנֹה	28 Likewise as it came to pass, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.
29 וַיְהִי בַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר־יָצָא לוֹט מִסְּדוֹם וַיַּמְטֵר אֵשׁ וְגָפְרִית מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיַּשְׁחֵת אֶת־כֻּלָּם	29 And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 כָּכָה יִהְיֶה בַּיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִגָּלֶה בֶּן־הָאָדָם	30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man shall be revealed.
31 בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יִהְיֶה עַל־הַגָּג וְכֵלָיו בַּבָּיִת אַל־יֵרֵד לָשֵׂאת אֹתָם וְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה אַל־יָשֹׁב הַבָּיְתָה	31 In that hour, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and he that shall be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.
32 זִכְרוּ אֶת־אֵשֶׁת לוֹט	32 Remember Lot's wife.
33 הַמְבַקֵּשׁ לְמַלֵּט אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ יְאַבְּדֶנָּה וַאֲשֶׁר יְאַבֵּד אֹתָהּ יְחָיֶּהָ	33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.
34 אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא שְׁנַיִם יִהְיוּ בְּמִטָּה אֶחָת הָאֶחָד יֵאָסֵף וְהָאַחֵר יֵעָזֵב	34 I say to you: in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 שְׁתַּיִם תִּהְיֶינָה טֹחֲנוֹת יָחַד הָאַחַת תֵּאָסֵף וְהָאַחֶרֶת תֵּעָזֵב	35 Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be keft.
36 שְׁנַיִם יִהְיוּ בַשָּׂדֶה וְנֶאֱסַף הָאֶחָד וְהָאַחֵר יֵעָזֵב	36 They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?
37 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אַיֵּה זֹאת אֲדֹנֵינוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם בַּאֲשֶׁר הַפֶּגֶר שָׁם יִקָּבְצוּ הַנְּשָׁרִים	37 Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, thither will the eagles also be gathered together.
