STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַזְּקֵנִים וְהַסּוֹפְרִים וְכָל־הַסַּנְהֶדְרִין בַּבֹּקֶר וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ וַיַּאַסְרוּ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְסְרֻהוּ אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס	1 First thing in the morning, the chief priests, together with the elders and scribes and the rest of theSanhedrin, had their plan ready. They had Jesus bound and took him away and handed him over to Pilate.
2 וַיִּשְׁאַל אוֹתוֹ פִּילָטוֹס הַאַתָּה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אַתָּה אָמָרְתָּ	2 Pilate put to him this question, 'Are you the king of the Jews?' He replied, 'It is you who say it.'
3 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הִרְבּוּ לְשִׂטְנוֹ	3 And the chief priests brought many accusations against him.
4 וַיּוֹסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ לֵאמֹר הַאֵינְךָ מֵשִׁיב דָּבָר רְאֵה כַּמָּה הֵם מְעִידִים בָּךְ	4 Pilate questioned him again, 'Have you no reply at al ? See how many accusations they are bringingagainst you!'
5 וְיֵשׁוּעַ לֹא־הֵשִׁיב עוֹד אַף־דָּבָר אֶחָד וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס	5 But, to Pilate's surprise, Jesus made no further reply.
6 וּבְכָל־חַג הָיָה דַרְכּוֹ לִפְטֹר לָהֶם אָסִיר אֶחָד אֵת אֲשֶׁר יְבַקֵּשׁוּ	6 At festival time Pilate used to release a prisoner for them, any one they asked for.
7 וַיְהִי אִישׁ הַנִּקְרָא בְשֵׁם בַּר־אַבָּא אָסוּר עִם־הַמּוֹרְדִים אֲשֶׁר רָצְחוּ רֶצַח בְּעֵת הַמָּרֶד	7 Now a man called Barabbas was then in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during theuprising.
8 וַיִּשָּׂא הֶהָמוֹן אֶת־קוֹלוֹ וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבַקֵּשׁ שֶׁיַּעֲשֶׂה לָהֶם כְּפַעַם בְּפָעַם	8 When the crowd went up and began to ask Pilate the customary favour,
9 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם פִּילָטוֹס וַיֹּאמַר הֲתַחְפְּצוּ כִּי־אֶפְטֹר לָכֶם אֶת־מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים	9 Pilate answered them, 'Do you want me to release for you the king of the Jews?'
10 כִּי יָדַע אֲשֶׁר רַק־מִקִּנְאָה מְסָרוּהוּ רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים	10 For he realised it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over.
11 וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים הֵסִיתוּ אֶת־הֶהָמוֹן לְבִלְתִּי פְּטֹר לָהֶם כִּי אִם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא	11 The chief priests, however, had incited the crowd to demand that he should release Barabbas forthem instead.
12 וַיֹּסֶף פִּילָטוֹס וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם וּמָה־אֵפוֹא חֲפַצְתֶּם וְאֶעֱשֶׂה לַאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם קֹרְאִים מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים	12 Then Pilate spoke again, 'But in that case, what am I to do with the man you call king of the Jews?'
13 וַיּוֹסִיפוּ לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ	13 They shouted back, 'Crucify him!'
14 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם פִּילָטוֹס מָה־אֵפוֹא עָשָׂה רָעָה וְהֵם הִרְבּוּ־עוֹד לִצְעֹק הַצְלֵב אוֹתוֹ	14 Pilate asked them, 'What harm has he done?' But they shouted al the louder, 'Crucify him!'
15 וַיּוֹאֵל פִּילָטוֹס לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּרְצוֹן הָעָם וַיִּפְטֹר לָהֶם אֵת בַּר־אַבָּא וְאֵת יֵשׁוּעַ הִכָּה בַשּׁוֹטִים וַיִּמְסֹר אוֹתוֹ לְהִצָּלֵב	15 So Pilate, anxious to placate the crowd, released Barabbas for them and, after having Jesusscourged, he handed him over to be crucified.
16 וַיּוֹלִיכֻהוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַצָּבָא אֶל־הֶחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִית הוּא בֵּית הַמִּשְׁפָּט וַיַּזְעִיקוּ אֶת־כָּל־הַגְּדוּד	16 The soldiers led him away to the inner part of the palace, that is, the Praetorium, and cal ed thewhole cohort together.
17 וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אַרְגָּמָן וַיְשָׂרְגוּ עֲטֶרֶת קֹצִים וַיְעַטְּרֻהוּ	17 They dressed him up in purple, twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on him.
18 וַיָּחֵלּוּ לְבָרְכוֹ לֵאמֹר שָׁלוֹם לְךָ מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים	18 And they began saluting him, 'Hail, king of the Jews!'
19 וַיַּכּוּ עַל־רֹאשׁוֹ בְּקָנֶה וַיָּרֹקּוּ בוֹ וַיִּכְרְעוּ עַל־בִּרְכֵיהֶם וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לוֹ	19 They struck his head with a reed and spat on him; and they went down on their knees to do himhomage.
20 וְאַחֲרֵי הִתְלוֹצְצָם בּוֹ הִפְשִׁיטוּ אוֹתוֹ אֶת־הָאַרְגָּמָן וַיַּלְבִּישֻׁהוּ אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיּוֹצִיאֻהוּ לִצְלֹב אוֹתוֹ	20 And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the purple and dressed him in his ownclothes. They led him out to crucify him.
21 וַיֶּאֶנְסוּ אִישׁ עֹבֵר אֶחָד הַבָּא מִן־הַשָּׂדֶה וּשְׁמוֹ שִׁמְעוֹן הַקּוּרִינִי אֲבִי אֲלֶכְסַנְדְּרוֹס וְרוּפוֹס לָשֵׂאת אֶת־צְלָבוֹ	21 They enlisted a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was coming in fromthe country, to carry his cross.
22 וַיְבִיאֻהוּ אֶל־מְקוֹם גָּלְגָּלְתָּא הוּא מְקוֹם הַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת	22 They brought Jesus to the place cal ed Golgotha, which means the place of the skul .
23 וַיִּתְּנוּ־לוֹ יַיִן מָזוּג בְּמֹר וְהוּא לֹא קִבֵּל	23 They offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he refused it.
24 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר צָלְבוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיְחַלְּקוּ בְגָדָיו לָהֶם בְּהַפִּילָם עֲלֵיהֶם גּוֹרָל מַה־יִּקַּח אִישׁ אִישׁ	24 Then they crucified him, and shared out his clothing, casting lots to decide what each should get.
25 וַתְּהִי הַשָּׁעָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ	25 It was the third hour when they crucified him.
26 וַיְהִי דְּבַר־אַשְׁמָתוֹ כָּתוּב לְמַעְלָה מֶלֶךְ הַיְּהוּדִים	26 The inscription giving the charge against him read, 'The King of the Jews'.
27 וַיִּצְלְבוּ אִתּוֹ שְׁנֵי פָרִיצִים אֶחָד לִימִינוֹ וְאֶחָד לִשְׂמֹאלוֹ	27 And they crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and one on his left.
28 וַיִּמָּלֵא הַכָּתוּב הָאֹמֵר וְאֶת־פּשְׁעִים נִמְנָה	28
29 וְהָעֹבְרִים גִּדְּפוּ אוֹתוֹ וַיָּנִיעוּ רֹאשָׁם לֵאמֹר הֶאָח אַתָּה הַהוֹרֵס אֶת־הַהֵיכָל וּבוֹנֶה אוֹתוֹ בִּשְׁלשֶׁת יָמִים	29 The passers-by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, 'Aha! So you would destroy theTemple and rebuild it in three days!
30 הוֹשַׁע אֶת־עַצְמֶךָ וּרְדָה מִן־הַצְּלָב	30 Then save yourself; come down from the cross!'
31 וְכֵן לָעֲגוּ לוֹ גַּם־רָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים עִם־הַסּוֹפְרִים בְּאָמְרָם אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ אֶת־אֲחֵרִים הוֹשִׁיעַ וְאֶת־עַצְמוֹ לֹא יוּכַל לְהוֹשִׁיעַ	31 The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words,'He saved others, he cannot save himself.
32 הַמָּשִׁיחַ מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל יֵרֶד־נָא מִן־הַצְּלָב לְמַעַן נִרְאֶה וְנַאֲמִין וְגַם־הַנִּצְלָבִים אִתּוֹ חֵרְפוּהוּ	32 Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.' Eventhose who were crucified with him taunted him.
33 וּבִהְיוֹת הַשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית הָיָה חשֶׁךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ עַד הַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית	33 When the sixth hour came there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
34 וּבַשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית וַיִּצְעַק יֵשׁוּעַ בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל אֱלָהִי אֱלָהִי לְמָה שְׁבַקְתַּנִי אֲשֶׁר פֵּרוּשׁוֹ אֵלִי אֵלִי לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִי	34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?' which means, 'MyGod, my God, why have you forsaken me?'
35 וּמִקְצָת הָעֹמְדִים אֶצְלוֹ בְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת אָמְרוּ הִנֵּה אֶל־אֵלִיָּהוּ הוּא קוֹרֵא	35 When some of those who stood by heard this, they said, 'Listen, he is cal ing on Elijah.'
36 וַיָּרָץ אֶחָד מֵהֶם וַיְמַלֵּא סְפוֹג חֹמֶץ וַיָּשֶׂם עַל־קָנֶה וַיַּשְׁקֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר הַנִּיחוּ וְנִרְאֶה אִם־יָבֹא אֵלִיָּהוּ לְהוֹרִידוֹ	36 Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink saying,'Wait! And see if Elijah wil come to take him down.'
37 וְיֵשׁוּעַ נָתַן קוֹל גָּדוֹל וַיִּפַּח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ	37 But Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.
38 וּפָרֹכֶת הַהֵיכָל נִקְרְעָה לִשְׁנַיִם קְרָעִים מִלְּמַעְלָה לְמָטָּה	38 And the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
39 וַיַּרְא שַׂר הַמֵּאָה הָעֹמֵד לְנֶגְדוֹ כִּי בְּזַעֲקוֹ כֵן נָפַח אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ וַיֹּאמַר אָכֵן הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה הָיָה בֶן־הָאֱלֹהִים	39 The centurion, who was standing in front of him, had seen how he had died, and he said, 'In truth thisman was Son of God.'
40 וְגַם־נָשִׁים הָיוּ שָׁם רֹאוֹת מֵרָחוֹק וּבְתוֹכָן גַּם־מִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אִמּוֹ שֶׁל־יַעֲקֹב הַצָּעִיר וְשֶׁל־יוֹסֵי וּשְׁלֹמִית	40 There were some women watching from a distance. Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary whowas the mother of James the younger and Joset, and Salome.
41 אֲשֶׁר גַּם־הָלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו וְשֵׁרְתֻהוּ בִּהְיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל וַאֲחֵרוֹת רַבּוֹת אֲשֶׁר־עָלוּ אִתּוֹ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם	41 These used to follow him and look after him when he was in Galilee. And many other women werethere who had come up to Jerusalem with him.
42 וְעֵת הָעֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וּמִפְּנֵי אֲשֶׁר עֶרֶב שַׁבָּת הָיָה הוּא הַיּוֹם שֶׁלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת	42 It was now evening, and since it was Preparation Day -- that is, the day before the Sabbath-
43 וַיָּבֹא יוֹסֵף הָרָמָתִי יוֹעֵץ נִכְבָּד אֲשֶׁר הָיָה מְחַכֶּה גַם־הוּא לְמַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֶּאֱזֹר אֹמֶץ וַיָּבֹא אֶל־פִּילָטוֹס וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־גּוּפַת יֵשׁוּעַ	43 there came Joseph of Arimathaea, a prominent member of the Council, who himself lived in the hopeof seeing the kingdom of God, and he boldly went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
44 וַיִּתְמַהּ פִּילָטוֹס עַל־אֲשֶׁר הוּא כְּבָר מֵת וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה וַיִּשְׁאָלֵהוּ הֲגָוַע כְּבָר	44 Pilate, astonished that he should have died so soon, summoned the centurion and enquired if he hadbeen dead for some time.
45 וַיֵּדַע מִפִּי־שַׂר הַמֵּאָה כִּי־כֵן וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־גּוּפָתוֹ מַתָּנָה לְיוֹסֵף	45 Having been assured of this by the centurion, he granted the corpse to Joseph
46 וְהוּא קָנָה סָדִין וַיּוֹרֶד אֹתוֹ וַיִּכְרְכֵהוּ בַּסָּדִין וַיְשִׂימֵהוּ בְקֶבֶר חָצוּב בַּסֶּלַע וַיָּגֶל אֶבֶן עַל־פֶּתַח הַקָּבֶר	46 who bought a shroud, took Jesus down from the cross, wrapped him in the shroud and laid him in atomb which had been hewn out of the rock. He then rol ed a stone against the entrance to the tomb.
47 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וּמִרְיָם אֵם יוֹסֵי הָיוּ רֹאוֹת אֶת־הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר הוּשַׂם שָׁמָּה	47 Mary of Magdala and Mary the mother of Joset took note of where he was laid.
