Lettera di Giuda - (מכתב יהודה) 13

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 אַהֲבַת הָאַחִים תַּעֲמֹד	1 Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 הַכְנָסַת אֹרְחִים אַל־תִּשְׁכָּחוּ כִּי־יֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר הִכְנִיסוּ־בָהּ מַלְאָכִים וְלֹא יָדָעוּ	2 And hospitality do not forget; for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
3 זִכְרוּ אֶת־הָאֲסוּרִים כְּאִלּוּ אַתֶּם אֲסוּרִים עִמָּהֶם וְאֵת הַנִּלְחָצִים בַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתֶּם בַּבָּשָׂר	3 Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 הָאִישׁוּת תִּיקַר בַּכֹּל וְעֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעֲכֶם אַל־יְחֻלָּל אֶת־הַזֹּנִים וְאֶת־הַמְנָאֲפִים יָדִין אֱלֹהִים	4 Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 רַחֲקוּ מֵאַהֲבַת כֶּסֶף וְשִׂמְחוּ בְחֶלְקְכֶם כִּי הוּא אָמַר לֹא אַרְפְּךָ וְלֹא אֶעֶזְבֶךָּ	5 Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 עַל־כֵּן נִבְטַח וְנֹאמַר יְהוָֹה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָם	6 So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 זִכְרוּ אֶת־מַנְהִיגֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר־הִגִּידוּ לָכֶם אֶת־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים בִּינוּ לְאַחֲרִית דַּרְכָּם וּלְכוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָתָם	7 Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
8 יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ גַּם־תְּמוֹל גַּם־הַיּוֹם הוּא הוּא וְגַם־לְעוֹלָמִים	8 Jesus Christ, yesterday, and to day; and the same for ever.
9 אַל־תִּנּוֹעוּ בְּתוֹרוֹת שֹׁנוֹת וְזָרוֹת כִּי טוֹב לְכוֹנֵן לִבֵּנוּ בַּחֶסֶד וְלֹא בְּעִנְיְנֵי מַאֲכָל אֲשֶׁר לֹא הוֹעִילוּ לַמִּתְהַלְּכִים בָּהֶם	9 Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 יֶשׁ־לָנוּ מִזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר אֵינָם רַשָּׁאִים לֶאֱכֹל מֵעָלָיו מְשָׁרְתֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּן	10 We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 כִּי־הַבְּהֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר הוּבָא דָמָן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ לְכַפָּרַת הַחֵטְא עַל־יְדֵי הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל גְּוִיּוֹתֵיהֶן נִשְׂרְפוּ מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה	11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 בַּעֲבוּר זֹאת גַּם־יֵשׁוּעַ לְמַעַן קַדֵּשׁ בְּדָמוֹ אֶת־הָעָם עֻנָּה מִחוּץ לַשָּׁעַר	12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 לָכֵן נֵצְאָה־נָּא אֵלָיו אֶל־מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה וְנִשָּׂא אֶת־חֶרְפָּתוֹ	13 Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 כִּי־פֹה אֵין־לָנוּ עִיר עֹמָדֶת כִּי אֶת־הָעֲתִידָה אֲנַחְנוּ מְבַקְשִׁים	14 For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.
15 לָכֵן נַקְרִיב עַל־יָדוֹ בְּכָל־עֵת זֶבַח תּוֹדָה לֵאלֹהִים הִיא־פְרִי שְׂפָתַיִם הַמּוֹדוֹת לִשְׁמוֹ	15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
16 וְאַל־תִּשְׁכְּחוּ לִגְמֹל חֶסֶד וְלָתֵת לָאֶבְיוֹנִים כִּי־זְבָחִים כָּאֵלֶּה יֶעֶרְבוּ לֵאלֹהִים	16 And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God's favour is obtained.
17 שִׁמְעוּ אֶל־מַנְהִיגֵיכֶם וְהִכָּנְעוּ מִפְּנֵיהֶם כִּי־שֹׁקְדִים הֵם עַל־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם כַּעֲתִידִים לָתֵת חֶשְׁבּוֹן לְמַעַן יַעֲשֹוּ־זֹאת בְּשִׂמְחָה וְלֹא בַאֲנָחָה כִּי זֹאת לֹא־לְהוֹעִיל לָכֶם	17 Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
18 הִתְפַּלְלוּ בַּעֲדֵנוּ כִּי יָדַעְנוּ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלֵמָה מַחֲשַׁבְתֵּנוּ וְנַחְפֹּץ לָלֶכֶת דֶּרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה בַּכֹּל	18 Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.
19 וּבְחָזְקָה אֲבַקֵּשׁ מִכֶּם לַעֲשׂוֹת זֹאת לְמַעַן אוּשַׁב אֲלֵיכֶם בִּמְהֵרָה	19 And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 וֵאלֹהֵי הַשָּׁלוֹם אֲשֶׁר בְּדַם בְּרִית עוֹלָם הֶעֱלָה מִן־הַמֵּתִים אֶת־רֹעֵה הַצֹּאן הַגָּדוֹל אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ	20 And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament,
21 הוּא יַשְׁלִימְכֶם בְּכָל־מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנוֹ בְּפָעֳלוֹ בָכֶם אֶת־הָרָצוּי לְפָנָיו בְּיַד־יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הַכָּבוֹד לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן	21 Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen.
22 וַאֲבַקֵּשׁ מִכֶּם אַחַי שְׂאוּ־נָא דְּבַר הַתּוֹכֵחָה כִּי כָתַבְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בִּקְצָרָה	22 And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.
23 וּדְעוּ כִּי טִימוֹתִיּוֹס אָחִינוּ יָצָא מִבֵּית הָאֲסוּרִים וְהָיָה אִם־יָבֹא בִמְהֵרָה אֶרְאֶה אִתּוֹ אֶת־פְּנֵיכֶם	23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.
24 שַׁאֲלוּ לִשְׁלוֹם כָּל־מַנְהִיגֵיכֶם וְלִשְׁלוֹם כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים בְּנֵי אֶרֶץ אִיטַלְיָא שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם	24 Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.
25 הַחֶסֶד עִם־כֻּלְּכֶם אָמֵן	25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
