STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 וַיֵּרֶד מִן־הָהָר וַיֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב	1 And when he had descended from the mountain, great crowds followed him.
2 וְהִנֵּה אִישׁ מְצֹרָע בָּא וַיִּשְׁתַּחוּ־לוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי אִם־תִּרְצֶה תּוּכַל לְטַהֲרֵנִי	2 And behold, a leper, drawing near, adored him, saying, “Lord, if you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
3 וַיִּשְׁלַח יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־יָדוֹ וַיִּגַּע־בּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר חָפֵץ אָנֹכִי טְהָר וּמִיָּד נִרְפְּאָה צָרַעְתּוֹ	3 And Jesus, extending his hand, touched him, saying: “I am willing. Be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ רְאֵה פֶּן־תְּסַפֵּר לְאִישׁ כִּי אִם־לֶךְ־לְךָ וְהֵרָאֵה אֶל־הַכֹּהֵן וְהַקְרֵב אֶת־הַקָּרְבָּן אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה משֶׁה לְעֵדוּת לָהֶם	4 And Jesus said to him: “See to it that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses instructed, as a testimony for them.”
5 וַיְהִי כְּבֹאוֹ אֶל־כְּפַר־נַחוּם וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו שַׂר־מֵאָה אֶחָד וַיִּתְחַנֶּן־לוֹ לֵאמֹר	5 And when he had entered into Capernaum, a centurion approached, petitioning him,
6 אֲדֹנִי הִנֵּה נַעֲרִי נָפַל לְמִשְׁכָּב בְּבֵיתִי וְהוּא נְכֵה אֵבָרִים וּמְעֻנֶּה עַד־מְאֹד	6 and saying, “Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and badly tormented.”
7 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו אָבֹא וְאֶרְפָּאֵהוּ	7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 וַיַּעַן שַׂר־הַמֵּאָה וַיֹּאמַר אֲדֹנִי נְקַלֹּתִי מִבֹּאֲךָ בְּצֵל קוֹרָתִי אַךְ דַּבֶּר־נָא רַק דָּבָר וְנִרְפָּא נַעֲרִי	8 And responding, the centurion said: “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word, and my servant shall 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 man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘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 And, hearing this, Jesus wondered. And he said to those following him: “Amen I say to you, I have not found so great a faith in Israel.
11 וַאֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם רַבִּים יָבֹאוּ מִמִּזְרָח וּמִמַּעֲרָב וְיָסֵבּוּ עִם־אַבְרָהָם וְיִצְחָק וְיַעֲקֹב בְּמַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמָיִם	11 For I say to you, that many shall come from the east and the west, and they shall sit at table with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 אֲבָל בְּנֵי הַמַּלְכוּת הֵמָּה יְגֹרְשׁוּ אֶל־הַחשֶׁךְ הַחִיצוֹן שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרוֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	12 But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־שַׂר־הַמֵּאָה לֵךְ וְכֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ כֵּן יִהְיֶה־לָּךְ וַיֵּרָפֵא נַעֲרוֹ בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא	13 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go, and just as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And the servant was healed at that very hour.
14 וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ בֵּיתָה פֶטְרוֹס וַיַּרְא אֶת־חֲמוֹתוֹ נֹפֶלֶת לְמִשְׁכָּב כִּי אֲחָזַתָּהּ הַקַּדָּחַת	14 And when Jesus had arrived at the house of Peter, he saw his mother-in-law lying ill with a fever.
15 וַיִּגַּע בְּיָדָהּ וַתִּרֶף מִמֶּנָּה הַקַּדָּחַת וַתָּקָם וַתְּשָׁרְתֵם	15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose up and ministered to them.
16 וַיְהִי לְעֵת עֶרֶב וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו רַבִּים אֲחוּזֵי שֵׁדִים וַיְגָרֶשׁ אֶת־הָרוּחוֹת בִּדְבַר פִּיו וַיְרַפֵּא אֵת כָּל־הַחוֹלִים	16 And when evening arrived, they brought to him many who had demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word. And he healed all those having maladies,
17 לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר חֳלָיֵנוּ הוּא נָשָׂא וּמַכְאֹבֵינוּ סְבָלָם	17 in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah, saying, “He took our infirmities, and he carried away our diseases.”
18 וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ הֲמוֹן עַם רָב סְבִיבֹתָיו וַיְצַו לַעֲבֹר מִשָּׁם אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם	18 Then Jesus, seeing the great crowds encircling him, gave orders to go across the sea.
19 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו אַחַד הַסּוֹפְרִים וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו רַבִּי אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֶיךָ אֶל כָּל־אֲשֶׁר תֵּלֵךְ	19 And one scribe, approaching, said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you will go.”
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לַשּׁוּעָלִים יֵשׁ־חוֹרֵי עָפָר וּלְעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם קִנִּים וּבֶן־הָאָדָם אֵין לוֹ מָקוֹם לְהָנִיחַ שָׁם אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ	20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have dens, and the birds of the air 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 Then another of his disciples said to him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.”
22 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לֵךְ אַחֲרָי וְהַנַּח לַמֵּתִים לִקְבֹּר אֵת־מֵתֵיהֶם	22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and allow the dead to bury their dead.”
23 וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיֵּרְדוּ אִתּוֹ תַּלְמִידָיו	23 And climbing into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 וְהִנֵּה סַעַר גָּדוֹל הָיָה בַיָּם וַתְּכֻסֶּה הָאֳנִיָּה בַּגַּלִּים וְהוּא יָשֵׁן	24 And behold, a great tempest occurred in the sea, so much so that the boat was covered with waves; yet truly, he was sleeping.
25 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיָּעִירוּ אוֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֲדֹנֵינוּ אָבָדְנוּ	25 And his disciples drew near to him, and they awakened him, saying: “Lord, save us, we are perishing.”
26 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם קְטַנֵּי הָאֱמוּנָה לָמָּה זֶּה יְרֵאתֶם וַיָּקָם וַיִּגְעַר בָּרוּחוֹת וּבַיָּם וַתְּהִי דְּמָמָה גְדוֹלָה	26 And Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid, O little in faith?” Then rising up, he commanded the winds, and the sea. And a great tranquility occurred.
27 וַיִּתְמְהוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיֹּאמְרוּ מִי אֵפוֹא הוּא אֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָרוּחוֹת וְהַיָּם לוֹ יִשְׁמָעוּן	27 Moreover, the men wondered, saying: “What kind of man is this? For even the winds and the sea obey him.”
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 And when he had arrived across the sea, into the region of the Gerasenes, he was met by two who had demons, who were so exceedingly savage, as they went out from among the tombs, that no one was able to cross by that way.
29 וְהִנֵּה הֵם צֹעֲקִים לֵאמֹר מַה־לָּנוּ וָלָךְ יֵשׁוּעַ בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים הֲבָאתָ הֲלֹם לְעַנּוֹתֵנוּ בְּלֹא עִתֵּנוּ	29 And behold, they cried out, saying: “What are we to you, O Jesus, the Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?”
30 וְעֵדֶר חֲזִירִים רַבִּים הָיָה־שָׁם בַּמִּרְעֶה הַרְחֵק מֵהֶם	30 Now there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding.
31 וַיִּתְחַנְנוּ אֵלָיו הַשֵּׁדִים לֵאמֹר אִם־תְּגָרְשֵׁנוּ שַׁלְּחֵנוּ בְּעֵדֶר הַחֲזִירִים	31 Then the demons petitioned him, saying: “If you cast us from here, 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.” And they, going out, went into the swine. And behold, the entire herd suddenly rushed along a steep place into the sea. And they died in the waters.
33 וַיָּנוּסוּ הָרֹעִים וַיָּבֹאוּ הָעִירָה וַיַּגִּידוּ אֶת־הַכֹּל וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה לַאֲחוּזֵי הַשֵּׁדִים	33 Then the shepherds fled, and arriving in the city, they reported on all this, and on those who had had the demons.
34 וְהִנֵּה כָּל־הָעִיר יָצְאָה לִקְרַאת יֵשׁוּעַ וְכִרְאוֹתָם אֹתוֹ וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לַעֲבֹר מִגְּבוּלָם	34 And behold, the entire city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen him, they petitioned him, so that he would cross from their borders.
