STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 וְגַם־מָשָׁל דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם לְהִתְפַּלֵּל תָּמִיד וְלֹא לְהִתְרַפּוֹת	1 And he spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint,
2 וַיֹּאמַר שׁוֹפֵט הָיָה בְּעִיר אֶחָת אֲשֶׁר לֹא יָרֵא אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים וְלֹא־נָשָׂא פָנִים לְאָדָם	2 Saying: There was a judge in a certain city, who feared not God, nor regarded man.
3 וְאַלְמָנָה הָיְתָה בָּעִיר הַהִיא וַתָּבֹא אֵלָיו לֵאמֹר דִּינָה אֶת־דִּינִי מִמְּרִיבִי	3 And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary.
4 וַיְמָאֵן מִיּוֹם אֶל־יוֹם וְאַחֲרֵי־כֵן אָמַר בְּנַפְשׁוֹ גַּם־כִּי אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אֵינֶנִּי יָרֵא וּלְאָדָם לֹא־אֶשָּׂא פָנִים	4 And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man,
5 אֶעֱשֶׂה אֶת־דִּין הָאַלְמָנָה הַזֹּאת עַל־הוֹגִיעָהּ אֹתִי פֶּן־תָּבוֹא תָמִיד וּתְדַכְּאֵנִי בְּמִלִּים	5 Yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming she weary me.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר הָאָדוֹן שִׁמְעוּ אֶת־אֲשֶׁר אֹמֵר דַּיַּן הָעַוְלָה	6 And the Lord said: Hear what the unjust judge saith.
7 וְהָאֱלֹהִים הֲלֹא־הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה דִּין בְּחִירָיו הַקֹּרְאִים אֵלָיו יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה גַּם כִּי־יִתְמַהְמַהּ לְהוֹשִׁיעָם	7 And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard?
8 אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי־יַעֲשֶׂה אֶת דִּינָם בִּמְהֵרָה אַךְ בֶּן־הָאָדָם בְּבֹאוֹ הֲיִמְצָא אֱמוּנָה בָּאָרֶץ	8 I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
9 וַיּוֹסֶף וַיִּשָּׂא מְשָׁלוֹ אֶל־אֲנָשִׁים בֹּטְחִים בְּנַפְשָׁם כִּי צַדִּיקִים הֵמָּה וַאֲחֵרִים נִבְזִים בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וַיֹּאמַר	9 And to some who trusted in themselves as just, and despised others, he spoke also this parable:
10 שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים עָלוּ אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לְהִתְפַּלֵּל הָאֶחָד פָּרוּשׁ וְהָאֶחָד מוֹכֵס	10 Two men went up into the temple to pray: the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 וַיִּתְיַצֵּב הַפָּרוּשׁ לְבַדּוֹ וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל לֵאמֹר אֱלֹהִים אוֹדְךָ כִּי אֵינֶּנִי כִּשְׁאָר הָאָדָם הַגֹּזְלִים וְהָעשְׁקִים וְהַנֹּאֲפִים אוֹ גַם־כַּמֹּכֵס הַזֶּה	11 The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican.
12 אֲנִי צָם פַּעֲמַיִם בַּשָּׁבוּעַ אֲנִי מְעַשֵּׂר אֵת כָּל־קִנְיָנָי	12 I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 וְהַמּוֹכֵס הָיָה עֹמֵד מֵרָחוֹק וְלֹא אָבָה אַף־לָשֵׂאת אֶת־עֵינָיו לַשָּׁמָיִם כִּי אִם־תּוֹפֵף עַל־לִבּוֹ לֵאמֹר אֱלֹהִים סְלַח־לִי הַחוֹטֵא	13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O god, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי־יָרַד זֶה לְבֵיתוֹ נִצְדָּק מִזֶּה כִּי כָּל־הַמֵּרִים אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ יִשָּׁפֵל וַאֲשֶׁר יַשְׁפִּילָהּ יְרוֹמָם	14 I say to you, this man went down into his house justified rather that the other: because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled: and he that humbleth himself, shall be exalted.
15 וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו גַּם אֶת־הַיְלָדִים לְמַעַן יִגַּע בָּהֶם וַיִּרְאוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיִּגְעֲרוּ בָּם	15 And they brought unto him also infants, that he might touch them. Which when the disciples saw, they rebuked them.
16 וַיִּקְרָא אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמַר הַנִּיחוּ לַיְלָדִים לָבוֹא אֵלַי וְאַל־תִּמְנָעוּם כִּי לָאֵלֶּה מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	16 But Jesus, calling them together, said: Suffer children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כֹּל אֲשֶׁר לֹא יְקַבֵּל אֶת־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים כַּיָּלֶד הוּא לֹא־יָבֹא בָהּ	17 Amen, I say to you: Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a child, shall not enter into it.
18 וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ קָצִין אֶחָד לֵאמֹר רַבִּי הַטּוֹב מַה־לִּי לַעֲשׂוֹת וְאִירַשׁ חַיֵּי עוֹלָמִים	18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying: Good master, what shall I do to possess everlasting life?
19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ מַדּוּעַ קָרָאתָ לִּי טוֹב אֵין טוֹב בִּלְתִּי אֶחָד הָאֱלֹהִים	19 And Jesus said to him: Why dost thou call me good? None is good but God alone.
20 אֶת־הַמִּצְוֺת אַתָּה יוֹדֵעַ לֹא תִנְאָף לֹא תִרְצָח לֹא תִגְנֹב לֹא־תַעֲנֶה עֵד שָׁקֶר כַּבֵּד אֶת־אָבִיךָ וְאֶת־אִמֶּךָ	20 Thou knowest the commandments: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Honour thy father and mother.
21 וַיֹּאמַר אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה שָׁמַרְתִּי מִנְּעוּרָי	21 Who said: All these things have I kept from my youth.
22 וַיִּשְׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר עוֹד אַחַת חָסָרְתָּ מְכֹר אֶת־כֹּל אֲשֶׁר־לְךָ וְחַלֵּק לָעֲנִיִּים וִיהִי לְךָ אוֹצָר בַּשָּׁמָיִם וּבוֹא וְלֵךְ אַחֲרָי	22 Which when Jesus had heard, he said to him: Yet one thing is wanting to thee: sell all whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 וַיְהִי כְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֶת־זֹאת וַיֵּעָצֵב מְאֹד כִּי־עשֶׁר גָּדוֹל הָיָה לוֹ	23 He having heard these things, became sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 וַיַּרְא יֵשׁוּעַ כִּי נֶעֱצַב וַיֹּאמַר כַּמָּה יִקְשֶׁה לְבַעֲלֵי נְכָסִים לָבוֹא אֶל־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	24 And Jesus seeing him become sorrowful, said: How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God.
25 כִּי נָקֵל לַגָּמָל עֲבֹר בְּתוֹךְ־נֶקֶב הַמַּחַט מִבּוֹא עָשִׁיר אֶל־מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	25 For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַשֹּׁמְעִים וּמִי יוּכַל לְהִוָּשֵׁעַ	26 And they that heard it, said: Who then can be saved?
27 וַיֹּאמֶר מַה־שֶּׁיִּפָּלֵא מִבְּנֵי אָדָם לֹא יִפָּלֵא מֵאֱלֹהִים	27 He said to them: The things that are impossible with men, are possible with God.
28 וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס הֵן אֲנַחְנוּ עָזַבְנוּ אֶת־הַכֹּל וַנֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרֶיךָ	28 Then Peter said: Behold, we have left all things, and have followed thee.
29 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם אֵין אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר עָזַב אֶת־בֵּיתוֹ אוֹ אֶת־אֲבוֹתָיו אוֹ אֶת־אֶחָיו אוֹ אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ אוֹ אֶת־בָּנָיו לְמַעַן מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים	29 Who said to them: Amen, I say to you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30 וְלֹא־יִקַּח תַּחְתֵּיהֶם כִּפְלַיִם הַרְבֵּה בָּעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וּבָעוֹלָם הַבָּא חַיֵּי עוֹלָמִים	30 Who shall not receive much more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
31 וַיִּקַּח אֵלָיו אֶת־שְׁנֵים הֶעָשָׂר וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם הִנְנוּ עֹלִים יְרוּשָׁלָיְמָה וְיִמָּלֵא כָל־הַכָּתוּב בִּידֵי הַנְּבִיאִים עַל בֶּן־הָאָדָם	31 Then Jesus took unto him the twelve, and said to them: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be accomplished which were written by the prophets concerning the Son of man.
32 כִּי יִמָּסֵר לַגּוֹיִם וִיהַתְּלוּ בוֹ וְיִתְעַלְּלוּ בוֹ וְיָרֹקּוּ בְּפָנָיו	32 For he shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and scourged, and spit upon:
33 וְאַחֲרֵי הַכּוֹתָם אֹתוֹ בַשּׁוֹטִים יְמִיתוּהוּ וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי קוֹם יָקוּם	33 And after they have scourged him, they will put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again.
34 וְהֵם לֹא הֵבִינוּ מְאוּמָה וַיְהִי הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה נֶעְלָם מֵהֶם וְלֹא יָדְעוּ אֶת־הַנֶּאֱמָר	34 And they understood none of these things, and this word was hid from them, and they understood not the things that were said.
35 וַיְהִי בְּקָרְבוֹ אֶל־יְרִיחוֹ וְהִנֵּה־אִישׁ עִוֵּר ישֵׁב עַל־הַדֶּרֶךְ וְהוּא מְשָׁאֵל	35 Now it came to pass, when he drew nigh to Jericho, that a certain blind man sat by the way side, begging.
36 וַיִּשְׁמַע אֶת־קוֹל הָעָם הָעֹבֵר וַיִּדְרשׁ לָדַעַת מַה־זֹּאת	36 And when he heard the multitude passing by, he asked what this meant.
37 וַיַּגִּידוּ לוֹ כִּי־יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי עוֹבֵר	37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 וַיִּצְעַק לֵאמֹר יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן־דָּוִד חָנֵּנִי	38 And he cried out, saying: Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
39 וְהַהֹלְכִים בָּרִאשֹׁנָה גָּעֲרוּ־בוֹ לְהַחֲשֹׁתוֹ וְהוּא הִרְבָּה עוֹד לִצְעֹק יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן־דָּוִד חָנֵּנִי	39 And they that went before, rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried out much more: Son of David, have mercy on me.
40 וַיַּעֲמֹד יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְצַו לַהֲבִיאוֹ אֵלָיו וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר קָרַב וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ לֵאמֹר	40 And Jesus standing, commanded him to be brought unto him. And when he was come near, he asked him,
41 מַה־חֶפְצְךָ כִּי אֶעֱשֶׂה־לָּךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲדֹנִי כִּי אֶרְאֶה	41 Saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? But he said: Lord, that I may see.
42 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו רְאֵה אֱמוּנָתְךָ הוֹשִׁיעָה לָּךְ	42 And Jesus said to him: Receive thy sight: thy faith hath made thee whole.
43 וּפִתְאֹם רָאָה וַיֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרָיו הָלֹךְ וְשַׁבֵּחַ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים וְכָל־הָעָם בִּרְאוֹתָם זֹאת נָתְנוּ תוֹדָה לֵאלֹהִים	43 And immediately he saw, and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
