Lettera di Giuda - (מכתב יהודה) 13

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 אַהֲבַת הָאַחִים תַּעֲמֹד	1 Let mutual love continue.
2 הַכְנָסַת אֹרְחִים אַל־תִּשְׁכָּחוּ כִּי־יֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר הִכְנִיסוּ־בָהּ מַלְאָכִים וְלֹא יָדָעוּ	2 Do not neglect hospitality, for through it some have unknowingly entertained angels.
3 זִכְרוּ אֶת־הָאֲסוּרִים כְּאִלּוּ אַתֶּם אֲסוּרִים עִמָּהֶם וְאֵת הַנִּלְחָצִים בַּאֲשֶׁר גַּם־אַתֶּם בַּבָּשָׂר	3 Be mindful of prisoners as if sharing their imprisonment, and of the ill-treated as of yourselves, for you also are in the body.
4 הָאִישׁוּת תִּיקַר בַּכֹּל וְעֶרֶשׂ יְצוּעֲכֶם אַל־יְחֻלָּל אֶת־הַזֹּנִים וְאֶת־הַמְנָאֲפִים יָדִין אֱלֹהִים	4 Let marriage be honored among all and the marriage bed be kept undefiled, for God will judge the immoral and adulterers.
5 רַחֲקוּ מֵאַהֲבַת כֶּסֶף וְשִׂמְחוּ בְחֶלְקְכֶם כִּי הוּא אָמַר לֹא אַרְפְּךָ וְלֹא אֶעֶזְבֶךָּ	5 Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never forsake you or abandon you."
6 עַל־כֵּן נִבְטַח וְנֹאמַר יְהוָֹה לִי בְּעֹזְרָי לֹא אִירָא מַה־יַּעֲשֶׂה לִי אָדָם	6 Thus we may say with confidence: "The Lord is my helper, (and) I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?"
7 זִכְרוּ אֶת־מַנְהִיגֵיכֶם אֲשֶׁר־הִגִּידוּ לָכֶם אֶת־דְּבַר הָאֱלֹהִים בִּינוּ לְאַחֲרִית דַּרְכָּם וּלְכוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָתָם	7 Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
8 יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ גַּם־תְּמוֹל גַּם־הַיּוֹם הוּא הוּא וְגַם־לְעוֹלָמִים	8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
9 אַל־תִּנּוֹעוּ בְּתוֹרוֹת שֹׁנוֹת וְזָרוֹת כִּי טוֹב לְכוֹנֵן לִבֵּנוּ בַּחֶסֶד וְלֹא בְּעִנְיְנֵי מַאֲכָל אֲשֶׁר לֹא הוֹעִילוּ לַמִּתְהַלְּכִים בָּהֶם	9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teaching. It is good to have our hearts strengthened by grace and not by foods, which do not benefit those who live by them.
10 יֶשׁ־לָנוּ מִזְבֵּחַ אֲשֶׁר אֵינָם רַשָּׁאִים לֶאֱכֹל מֵעָלָיו מְשָׁרְתֵי הַמִּשְׁכָּן	10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tabernacle have no right to eat.
11 כִּי־הַבְּהֵמוֹת אֲשֶׁר הוּבָא דָמָן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ לְכַפָּרַת הַחֵטְא עַל־יְדֵי הַכֹּהֵן הַגָּדוֹל גְּוִיּוֹתֵיהֶן נִשְׂרְפוּ מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה	11 The bodies of the animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.
12 בַּעֲבוּר זֹאת גַּם־יֵשׁוּעַ לְמַעַן קַדֵּשׁ בְּדָמוֹ אֶת־הָעָם עֻנָּה מִחוּץ לַשָּׁעַר	12 Therefore, Jesus also suffered outside the gate, to consecrate the people by his own blood.
13 לָכֵן נֵצְאָה־נָּא אֵלָיו אֶל־מִחוּץ לַמַּחֲנֶה וְנִשָּׂא אֶת־חֶרְפָּתוֹ	13 Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach that he bore.
14 כִּי־פֹה אֵין־לָנוּ עִיר עֹמָדֶת כִּי אֶת־הָעֲתִידָה אֲנַחְנוּ מְבַקְשִׁים	14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the one that is to come.
15 לָכֵן נַקְרִיב עַל־יָדוֹ בְּכָל־עֵת זֶבַח תּוֹדָה לֵאלֹהִים הִיא־פְרִי שְׂפָתַיִם הַמּוֹדוֹת לִשְׁמוֹ	15 Through him (then) let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name.
16 וְאַל־תִּשְׁכְּחוּ לִגְמֹל חֶסֶד וְלָתֵת לָאֶבְיוֹנִים כִּי־זְבָחִים כָּאֵלֶּה יֶעֶרְבוּ לֵאלֹהִים	16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have; God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind.
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 leaders and defer to them, for they keep watch over you and will have to give an account, that they may fulfill their task with joy and not with sorrow, for that would be of no advantage to you.
18 הִתְפַּלְלוּ בַּעֲדֵנוּ כִּי יָדַעְנוּ אֲשֶׁר שְׁלֵמָה מַחֲשַׁבְתֵּנוּ וְנַחְפֹּץ לָלֶכֶת דֶּרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה בַּכֹּל	18 Pray for us, for we are confident that we have a clear conscience, wishing to act rightly in every respect.
19 וּבְחָזְקָה אֲבַקֵּשׁ מִכֶּם לַעֲשׂוֹת זֹאת לְמַעַן אוּשַׁב אֲלֵיכֶם בִּמְהֵרָה	19 I especially ask for your prayers that I may be restored to you very soon.
20 וֵאלֹהֵי הַשָּׁלוֹם אֲשֶׁר בְּדַם בְּרִית עוֹלָם הֶעֱלָה מִן־הַמֵּתִים אֶת־רֹעֵה הַצֹּאן הַגָּדוֹל אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ אֲדֹנֵינוּ	20 May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep by the blood of the eternal covenant, Jesus our Lord,
21 הוּא יַשְׁלִימְכֶם בְּכָל־מַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנוֹ בְּפָעֳלוֹ בָכֶם אֶת־הָרָצוּי לְפָנָיו בְּיַד־יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הַכָּבוֹד לְעוֹלְמֵי עוֹלָמִים אָמֵן	21 furnish you with all that is good, that you may do his will. May he carry out in you what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever (and ever). Amen.
22 וַאֲבַקֵּשׁ מִכֶּם אַחַי שְׂאוּ־נָא דְּבַר הַתּוֹכֵחָה כִּי כָתַבְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בִּקְצָרָה	22 Brothers, I ask you to bear with this message of encouragement, for I have written to you rather briefly.
23 וּדְעוּ כִּי טִימוֹתִיּוֹס אָחִינוּ יָצָא מִבֵּית הָאֲסוּרִים וְהָיָה אִם־יָבֹא בִמְהֵרָה אֶרְאֶה אִתּוֹ אֶת־פְּנֵיכֶם	23 I must let you know that our brother Timothy has been set free. If he comes soon, I shall see you together with him.
24 שַׁאֲלוּ לִשְׁלוֹם כָּל־מַנְהִיגֵיכֶם וְלִשְׁלוֹם כָּל־הַקְּדשִׁים בְּנֵי אֶרֶץ אִיטַלְיָא שֹׁאֲלִים לִשְׁלוֹמְכֶם	24 Greetings to all your leaders and to all the holy ones. Those from Italy send you greetings.
25 הַחֶסֶד עִם־כֻּלְּכֶם אָמֵן	25 Grace be with all of you.
