Seconda lettera ai Corinzi (מכתב שני לקורינתים) 8

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיֵּרֶד מִן־הָהָר וַיֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב	1 When Jesus came down from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
2 וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ מְצֹרָע בָּא וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ־לוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי אִם־תִּרְצֶה תּוּכַל לְטַהֲרֵנִי	2 And then a leper approached, did him homage, and said, "Lord, if you wish, you can make me clean."
3 וַיִּשְׁלַח יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־יָדוֹ וַיִּגַּע־בּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר חָפֵץ אָנֹכִי טְהָר וּמִיָּד נִרְפְּאָה צָרַעְתּוֹ	3 He stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, "I will do it. Be made clean." His leprosy was cleansed immediately.
4 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ רְאֵה פֶּן־תְּסַפֵּר לְאִישׁ כִּי אִם־לֶךְ־לְךָ וְהֵרָאֵה אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן וְהַקְרֵב אֶת־הַקָּרְבָּן אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה משֶׁה לְעֵדוּת לָהֶם	4 Then Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them."
5 וַיְהִי כְּבֹאוֹ אֶל־כְּפַר־נַחוּם וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו שַׂר־מֵאָה אֶחָד וַיִּתְחַנֶּן־לוֹ לֵאמֹר	5 When he entered Capernaum, a centurion approached him and appealed to him,
6 אֲדֹנִי הִנֵּה נַעֲרִי נָפַל לְמִשְׁכָּב בְּבֵיתִי וְהוּא נְכֵה אֵבָרִים וּמְעֻנֶּה עַד־מְאֹד	6 saying, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, suffering dreadfully."
7 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו אָבֹא וְאֶרְפָּאֵהוּ	7 He said to him, "I will come and cure him."
8 וַיַּעַן שַׂר־הַמֵּאָה וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי נְקַלֹּתִי מִבֹּאֲךָ בְּצֵל קוֹרָתִי אַךְ דַּבֶּר־נָא רַק דָּבָר וְנִרְפָּא נַעֲרִי	8 The centurion said in reply, "Lord, I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof; only say the word and my servant will be healed.
9 כִּי אָנֹכִי אִישׁ נָתוּן תַּחַת הַשִּׁלְטוֹן וְגַם־יֵשׁ תַּחַת יָדִי אַנְשֵׁי צָבָא וְאָמַרְתִּי לָזֶה לֵךְ וְהָלַךְ וְלָזֶה בּוֹא וּבָא וּלְעַבְדִּי עֲשֵׂה־זֹאת וְעָשָׂה	9 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come here,' and he comes; and to my slave, 'Do this,' and he does it."
10 וַיִּשְׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּתְמַהּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הַהֹלְכִים אַחֲרָיו אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם גַּם־בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־מָצָאתִי אֱמוּנָה גְּדוֹלָה כָזֹאת	10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, "Amen, I say to you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith.
11 וַאֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם רַבִּים יָבֹאוּ מִמִּזְרָח וּמִמַּעֲרָב וְיָסֵבּוּ עִם־אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב בְּמַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמָיִם	11 I say to you, many will come from the east and the west, and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob at the banquet in the kingdom of heaven,
12 אֲבָל בְּנֵי הַמַּלְכוּת הֵמָּה יְגֹרְשׁוּ אֶל־הַחשֶׁךְ הַחִיצוֹן שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרוֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	12 but the children of the kingdom will be driven out into the outer darkness, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth."
13 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־שַׂר־הַמֵּאָה לֵךְ וְכֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ כֵּן יִהְיֶה־לָּךְ וַיֵּרָפֵא נַעֲרוֹ בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא	13 And Jesus said to the centurion, "You may go; as you have believed, let it be done for you." And at that very hour (his) servant was healed.
14 וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ בֵּיתָה פֶטְרוֹס וַיַּרְא אֶת־חֲמוֹתוֹ נֹפֶלֶת לְמִשְׁכָּב כִּי אֲחָזַתָּהּ הַקַּדָּחַת	14 Jesus entered the house of Peter, and saw his mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
15 וַיִּגַּע בְּיָדָהּ וַתִּרֶף מִמֶּנָּה הַקַּדָּחַת וַתָּקָם וַתְּשָׁרְתֵם	15 He touched her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and waited on him.
16 וַיְהִי לְעֵת עֶרֶב וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו רַבִּים אֲחוּזֵי שֵׁדִים וַיְגָרֶשׁ אֶת־הָרוּחוֹת בִּדְבַר פִּיו וַיְרַפֵּא אֵת כָּל־הַחוֹלִים	16 When it was evening, they brought him many who were possessed by demons, and he drove out the spirits by a word and cured all the sick,
17 לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר חֳלָיֵנוּ הוּא נָשָׂא וּמַכְאֹבֵינוּ סְבָלָם	17 to fulfill what had been said by Isaiah the prophet: "He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases."
18 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ הֲמוֹן עַם רָב סְבִיבֹתָיו וַיְצַו לַעֲבֹר מִשָּׁם אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם	18 When Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side.
19 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו אַחַד הַסּוֹפְרִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו רַבִּי אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵךְ	19 A scribe approached and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לַשּׁוּעָלִים יֵשׁ־חוֹרֵי עָפָר וּלְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם קִנִּים וּבֶן־הָאָדָם אֵין לוֹ מָקוֹם לְהָנִיחַ שָׁם אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ	20 Jesus answered him, "Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest his head."
21 וְאַחֵר מִן־הַתַּלְמִידִים אָמַר אֵלָיו אֲדֹנִי הַנִּיחָה־לִּי בָרִאשׁוֹנָה לָלֶכֶת וְלִקְבֹּר אֶת־אָבִי	21 Another of (his) disciples said to him, "Lord, let me go first and bury my father."
22 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לֵךְ אַחֲרָי וְהַנַּח לַמֵּתִים לִקְבֹּר אֵת־מֵתֵיהֶם	22 But Jesus answered him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead."
23 וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיֵּרְדוּ אִתּוֹ תַּלְמִידָיו	23 He got into a boat and his disciples followed him.
24 וְהִנֵּה סַעַר גָּדוֹל הָיָה בַיָּם וַתְּכֻסֶּה הָאֳנִיָּה בַּגַּלִּים וְהוּא יָשֵׁן	24 Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep.
25 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיָּעִירוּ אוֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ אָבָדְנוּ	25 They came and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"
26 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם קְטַנֵּי הָאֱמוּנָה לָמָּה זֶּה יְרֵאתֶם וַיָּקָם וַיִּגְעַר בָּרוּחוֹת וּבַיָּם וַתְּהִי דְּמָמָה גְדוֹלָה	26 He said to them, "Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm.
27 וַיִּתְמְהוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִי אֵפוֹא הוּא אֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָרוּחוֹת וְהַיָּם לוֹ יִשְׁמָעוּן	27 The men were amazed and said, "What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?"
28 וַיְהִי כְּבֹאוֹ אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם אֶל־אֶרֶץ הַגַּדְרִיִּם וַיִּפְגְּשׁוּהוּ שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים אֲחוּזֵי שֵׁדִים יֹצְאִים מִבָּתֵּי הַקְּבָרוֹת וְהֵמָּה רַגְזָנִים מְאֹד עַד אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יָכֹל אִישׁ לַעֲבֹר בַּדֶּרֶךְ הַהוּא	28 When he came to the other side, to the territory of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs who were coming from the tombs met him. They were so savage that no one could travel by that road.
29 וְהִנֵּה הֵם צֹעֲקִים לֵאמֹר מַה־לָּנוּ וָלָךְ יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים הֲבָאתָ הֲלֹם לְעַנּוֹתֵנוּ בְּלֹא עִתֵּנוּ	29 They cried out, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the appointed time?"
30 וְעֵדֶר חֲזִירִים רַבִּים הָיָה־שָׁם בַּמִּרְעֶה הַרְחֵק מֵהֶם	30 Some distance away a herd of many swine was feeding.
31 וַיִּתְחַנְנוּ אֵלָיו הַשֵּׁדִים לֵאמֹר אִם־תְּגָרְשֵׁנוּ שַׁלְּחֵנוּ בְּעֵדֶר הַחֲזִירִים	31 The demons pleaded with him, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of swine."
32 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ לָכֶם וַיֵּצְאוּ וַיָּבֹאוּ בְּעֵדֶר הַחֲזִירִים וְהִנֵּה הִשְׂתָּעֵר כָּל־עֵדֶר הַחֲזִירִים מִן־הַמּוֹרָד עַל־הַיָּם וַיָּמוּתוּ בַּמָּיִם	32 And he said to them, "Go then!" They came out and entered the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea where they drowned.
33 וַיָּנוּסוּ הָרֹעִים וַיָּבֹאוּ הָעִירָה וַיַּגִּידוּ אֶת־הַכֹּל וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה לַאֲחוּזֵי הַשֵּׁדִים	33 The swineherds ran away, and when they came to the town they reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.
34 וְהִנֵּה כָּל־הָעִיר יָצְאָה לִקְרַאת יֵשׁוּעַ וְכִרְאוֹתָם אֹתוֹ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לַעֲבֹר מִגְּבוּלָם	34 Thereupon the whole town came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him they begged him to leave their district.
