STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 בָּעֵת הַהִיא שָׁמַע הוֹרְדוֹס שַׂר־רֹבַע הַמְּדִינָה אֵת שֵׁמַע יֵשׁוּעַ	1 In that time, Herod the Tetrarch heard the news about Jesus.
2 וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־נְעָרָיו זֶה הוּא יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל וְהוּא קָם מִן־הַמֵּתִים עַל־כֵּן הַגְּבוּרוֹת פֹּעֲלוֹת בּוֹ	2 And he said to his servants: “This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why miracles are at work in him.”
3 כִּי הוֹרְדוֹס תָּפַשׂ אֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיַּאַסְרֵהוּ וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר בִּגְלַל הוֹרוֹדְיָה אֵשֶׁת פִילִפּוֹס אָחִיו	3 For Herod had apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison, because of Herodias, the wife of his brother.
4 כִּי יוֹחָנָן אָמַר אֵלָיו לֹא נָכוֹן הֱיוֹתָהּ לְךָ לְאִשָּׁה	4 For John was telling him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
5 וַיְבַקֵּשׁ הֲמִיתוֹ אַךְ יָרֵא אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן כִּי לְנָבִיא חָשְׁבוּ אֹתוֹ	5 And though he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, because they held him to be a prophet.
6 וַיְהִי בְּיוֹם הֻלֶּדֶת הוֹרְדוֹס וַתְּרַקֵּד בַּת־הוֹרוֹדְיָה בְּתוֹכָם וַתִּיטַב בְּעֵינֵי הוֹרְדוֹס	6 Then, on Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced in their midst, and it pleased Herod.
7 וַיִּשָּׁבַע לָהּ וַיֹּאמַר מַה־תִּשְׁאַל נַפְשֵׁךְ וְאֶתֵּן לָךְ	7 And so he promised with an oath to give her whatever she would ask of him.
8 וְאִמָּהּ שָׂמָה אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים בְּפִיהָ וַתִּשְׁאַל לֵאמֹר תְּנָה־לִּי פֹה בַּקְּעָרָה אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל	8 But, having been advised by her mother, she said, “Give me here, on a platter, the head of John the Baptist.”
9 וַיֵּעָצֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ אַךְ בַּעֲבוּר הַשְּׁבוּעָה וְהַמְסֻבִּים עִמּוֹ צִוָּה לָתֵת לָהּ	9 And the king was greatly saddened. But because of his oath, and because of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given.
10 וַיִּשְׁלַח וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־רֹאשׁ יוֹחָנָן מֵעָלָיו בְּבֵית הַסֹּהַר	10 And he sent and beheaded John in prison.
11 וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־רֹאשׁוֹ בַּקְּעָרָה וַיִּתְּנוּ לַנַּעֲרָה וַתְּבִיאֵהוּ אֶל־אִמָּהּ	11 And his head was brought on a platter, and it was given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.
12 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ תַּלְמִידָיו וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיָּתוֹ וַיִּקְבְּרוּהָ וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיַּגִּידוּ לְיֵשׁוּעַ	12 And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.
13 וַיְהִי כְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֶת־זֹאת וַיָּסַר מִשָּׁם בָּאֳנִיָּה אֶל־מְקוֹם חָרְבָּה לְבָדָד וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ הֲמוֹן הָעָם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו בְּרַגְלֵיהֶם מִן־הֶעָרִים	13 When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ וַיַּרְא הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וַיֶּהֱמוּ מֵעָיו עֲלֵיהֶם וַיְרַפֵּא אֶת־הַחַלָּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר בָּהֶם	14 And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.
15 וַיְהִי לִפְנוֹת עֶרֶב וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַמָּקוֹם חָרֵב וְגַם־נָטָה הַיּוֹם שַׁלְּחָה אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וְיֵלְכוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָרִים לִקְנוֹת לָהֶם אֹכֶל	15 And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: “This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves.”
16 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֵינָם צְרִיכִים לָלֶכֶת תְּנוּ־אַתֶּם לָהֶם לֶאֱכֹל	16 But Jesus said to them: “They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves.”
17 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֵין־לָנוּ פֹה כִּי אִם־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת־לֶחֶם וּשְׁנֵי דָגִים	17 They answered him, “We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish.”
18 וַיֹּאמַר הֲבִיאוּם אֵלַי הֲלֹם	18 He said to them, “Bring them here to me.”
19 וַיְצַו אֶת־הָעָם לָשֶׁבֶת עַל־הַדֶּשֶׁא וַיִּקַּח אֶת־חֲמֵשֶׁת כִּכְּרוֹת־הַלֶּחֶם וְאֶת־שְׁנֵי הַדָּגִים וַיִּשָּׂא עֵינָיו הַשָּׁמַיְמָה וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּפְרֹס וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־הַלֶּחֶם לַתַּלְמִידִים וְהַתַּלְמִידִים נָתְנוּ לָעָם	19 And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples, and then the disciples to the multitudes.
20 וַיֹּאכְלוּ כֻלָּם וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ מִן־הַפְּתוֹתִים הַנּוֹתָרִים שְׁנֵים עָשָׂר סַלִּים מְלֵאִים	20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.
21 וְהָאֹכְלִים הָיוּ כַּחֲמֵשֶׁת אַלְפֵי אִישׁ מִלְּבַד הַנָּשִׁים וְהַטָּף	21 Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 וַיָּאֶץ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּתַלְמִידָיו לָרֶדֶת בָּאֳנִיָּה לַעֲבֹר לְפָנָיו אֶל־עֵבֶר הַיָּם עַד אֲשֶׁר־יְשַׁלַּח אֶת־הָעָם	22 And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.
23 וְאַחֲרֵי שַׁלְּחוֹ אֶת־הָעָם עָלָה הָהָרָה בָּדָד לְהִתְפַּלֵּל וַיְהִי־עֶרֶב וְהוּא לְבַדּוֹ שָׁמָּה	23 And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.
24 וְהָאֳנִיָּה הָלְכָה בְּתוֹךְ הַיָּם וַתְּטֹרַף מִן־הַגַּלִּים כִּי הָרוּחַ לְנֶגְדָּהּ	24 But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.
25 וַיְהִי בָּאַשְׁמֹרֶת הָרְבִיעִית וַיָּבֹא אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ מִתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־פְּנֵי הַיָּם	25 Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.
26 וְהַתַּלְמִידִים בִּרְאֹתָם אוֹתוֹ מִתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־פְּנֵי הַיָּם נִבְהֲלוּ לֵאמֹר מַרְאֵה־רוּחַ הוּא וַיִּצְעֲקוּ מִפָּחַד	26 And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: “It must be an apparition.” And they cried out, because of fear.
27 וַיְדַבֵּר יֵשׁוּעַ פִּתְאֹם אֲלֵיהֶם חִזְקוּ כִּי־אֲנִי הוּא אַל־תִּירָאוּ	27 And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: “Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 וַיַּעַן פֶּטְרוֹס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִם־אַתָּה הוּא אֲדֹנִי צַוֵּה־נָא כִּי־אָבֹא אֵלֶיךָ עַל־הַמָּיִם	28 Then Peter responded by saying, “Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters.”
29 וַיֹּאמֶר בּוֹא וַיֵּרֶד פֶּטְרוֹס מִן־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ עַל־הַמַּיִם לָבוֹא אֶל־יֵשׁוּעַ	29 And he said, “Come.” And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.
30 וַיְהִי כִּרְאֹתוֹ אֶת־הָרוּחַ כִּי חֲזָקָה הִיא וַיִּירָא וַיָּחֶל לִטְבֹּעַ וַיִּצְעַק לֵאמֹר אֲדֹנִי הוֹשִׁיעֵנִי	30 Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: “Lord, save me.”
31 וַיְמַהֵר יֵשׁוּעַ לִשְׁלֹחַ אֶת־יָדוֹ וַיַּחֲזֶק־בּוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו קְטֹן הָאֱמוּנָה לָמָּה חָלַק לִבֶּךָ	31 And immediately Jesus extended his hand and took hold of him. And he said to him, “O little in faith, why did you doubt?”
32 הֵם עָלוּ אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וְהָרוּחַ שָׁכָכָה	32 And when they had ascended into the boat, the wind ceased.
33 וְאַנְשֵׁי הָאֳנִיָּה נִגְּשׁוּ וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ לֵאמֹר בֶּאֱמֶת בֶּן אֱלֹהִים אָתָּה	33 Then those who were in the boat drew near and adored him, saying: “Truly, you are the Son of God.”
34 וַיַּעַבְרוּ אֶת־הַיָּם וַיָּבֹאוּ אַרְצָה גִנֵּיסַר	34 And having crossed the sea, they arrived in the land of Genesaret.
35 וַיַּכִּירוּ אֹתוֹ אַנְשֵׁי הַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ אֶל־כָּל־סְבִיבוֹתֵיהֶם וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו אֵת כָּל־הַחוֹלִים	35 And when the men of that place had recognized him, they sent into all that region, and they brought to him all who had maladies.
36 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ כִּי יִגְּעוּ רַק בִּכְנַף בִּגְדוֹ וְכָל־הַנֹּגְעִים נוֹשָׁעוּ	36 And they petitioned him, so that they might touch even the hem of his garment. And as many as touched it were made whole.
