Seconda lettera ai Corinzi (מכתב שני לקורינתים) 13

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיְהִי בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ מִן־הַבָּיִת וַיֵּשֶׁב עַל־הַיָּם	1 On that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea.
2 וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ אֵלָיו הֲמוֹן עַם רָב וַיֵּרֶד אֶל־הָאֳנִיָּה וַיֵּשֶׁב בָּהּ וְכָל־הָעָם עֹמְדִים עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם	2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd stood along the shore.
3 וַיֶּרֶב לְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם בִּמְשָׁלִים לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה הַזּוֹרֵעַ יָצָא לִזְרֹעַ	3 And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow.
4 וּבְזָרְעוֹ נָפַל מִן־הַזֶּרַע עַל־יַד הַדָּרֶךְ וַיָּבֹא הָעוֹף וַיֹּאכְלֵהוּ	4 And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up.
5 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עַל־מְקֹמוֹת סֶלַע אֲשֶׁר אֵין־לוֹ שָׁם אֲדָמָה הַרְבֵּה וַיְמַהֵר לִצְמֹחַ כִּי לֹא־הָיָה לוֹ עֹמֶק אֲדָמָה	5 Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep,
6 וַיְהִי כִּזְרֹחַ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וַיִּצָּרֵב וַיִּיבָשׁ כִּי לֹא הָיָה־לוֹ שֹׁרֶשׁ	6 and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots.
7 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל בֵּין הַקֹּצִים וַיַּעֲלוּ הַקֹּצִים וַיְמַעֲכֻהוּ	7 Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it.
8 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר נָפַל עַל־הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה וַיִּתֵּן פֶּרִי זֶה מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים וְזֶה שִׁשִּׁים וְזֶה שְׁלשִׁים	8 But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
9 מִי אֲשֶׁר אָזְנַיִם לוֹ לִשְׁמֹעַ יִשְׁמָע	9 Whoever has ears ought to hear."
10 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו הַתַּלְמִידִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ לָמָּה זֶּה בִּמְשָׁלִים תְּדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם	10 The disciples approached him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?"
11 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר כִּי לָכֶם נִתַּן לָדַעַת אֶת־סוֹדוֹת מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמָיִם וְלָהֶם לֹא נִתָּן	11 He said to them in reply, "Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted.
12 כִּי מִי שֶׁיֶּשׁ־לוֹ נָתֹן יִנָּתֵן לוֹ וְנוֹסָף לוֹ עוֹד וּמִי שֶׁאֵין לוֹ גַּם אֵת אֲשֶׁר יֶשׁ־לוֹ יֻקַּח מִמֶּנּוּ	12 To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
13 עַל־כֵּן בִּמְשָׁלִים אֲדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם כִּי בִרְאֹתָם לֹא יִרְאוּ וּבְשָׁמְעָם לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ אַף־לֹא יָבִינוּ	13 This is why I speak to them in parables, because 'they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand.'
14 וּתְקֻיַּם בָּהֶם נְבוּאַת יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הָאֹמֶרֶת שִׁמְעוּ שָׁמוֹעַ וְאַל־תָּבִינוּ וּרְאוּ רָאוֹ וְאַל־תֵּדָעוּ	14 Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: 'You shall indeed hear but not understand you shall indeed look but never see.
15 כִּי הַשְׁמֵן לֵב־הָעָם הַזֶּה וְאָזְנָיו הַכְבֵּד וְעֵינָיו הָשַׁע פֶּן־יִרְאֶה בְעֵינָיו וּבְאָזְנָיו יִשְׁמָע וּלְבָבוֹ יָבִין וָשָׁב וְרָפָא לוֹ	15 Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and be converted, and I heal them.'
16 וְאַתֶּם אַשְׁרֵי עֵינֵיכֶם כִּי תִרְאֶינָה וְאָזְנֵיכֶם כִּי תִשְׁמַעְנָה	16 "But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear.
17 כִּי־אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם נְבִיאִים וְצַדִּיקִים רַבִּים נִכְסְפוּ לִרְאוֹת אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים וְלֹא רָאוּהוּ וְלִשְׁמֹעַ אֵת אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם שֹׁמְעִים וְלֹא שְׁמָעוּהוּ	17 Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
18 לָכֵן אַתֶּם שִׁמְעוּ־נָא אֵת מְשַׁל הַזּוֹרֵעַ	18 "Hear then the parable of the sower.
19 כָּל־אִישׁ הַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת־דְּבַר הַמַּלְכוּת וְלֹא יְבִינֵהוּ וּבָא הָרָע וְחָטַף אֶת־הַזָּרוּעַ בִּלְבָבוֹ הוּא הַנִּזְרָע עַל־יַד הַדָּרֶךְ	19 The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart.
20 וְהַנִּזְרָע עַל־הַסֶּלַע הוּא הַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וִימַהֵר וְיִקָּחֶנּוּ בְשִׂמְחָה	20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy.
21 אַךְ אֵין־לוֹ שֹׁרֶשׁ תַּחְתָּיו וְרַק לְשָׁעָה יַעֲמֹד וּבִהְיוֹת צָרָה וּרְדִיפָה עַל־אֹדוֹת הַדָּבָר מִיָּד נִכְשָׁל	21 But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away.
22 וְהַנִּזְרָע בֵּין הַקֹּצִים הוּא הַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וְדַאֲגַת הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וּמִרְמַת הָעשֶׁר יְמַעֲכוּ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וּפְרִי לֹא־יִהְיֶה לּוֹ	22 The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit.
23 וְהַנִּזְרָע עַל־הָאֲדָמָה הַטּוֹבָה הוּא הַשֹּׁמֵעַ אֶת־הַדָּבָר וּמֵבִין אֹתוֹ אַף־יַעֲשֶׂה פֶרִי וְנָתַן זֶה מֵאָה שְׁעָרִים וְזֶה שִׁשִּׁים וְזֶה שְׁלשִׁים	23 But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold."
24 וַיָּשֶׂם לִפְנֵיהֶם מָשָׁל אַחֵר לֵאמֹר מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם דּוֹמָה לְאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר זָרַע זֶרַע טוֹב בְּשָׂדֵהוּ	24 He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 וַיְהִי בִּנְפֹל תַּרְדֵּמָה עַל־הָאֲנָשִׁים וַיָּבֹא אֹיְבוֹ וַיִּזְרַע זוּנִין בְּתוֹךְ הַחִטִּים וַיֵּלֶךְ לוֹ	25 While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off.
26 וְכַאֲשֶׁר פָּרַח הַדֶּשֶׁא וַיַּעַשׂ פֶּרִי וַיֵּרָאוּ גַּם־הַזּוּנִין	26 When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.
27 וַיִּגְּשׁוּ עַבְדֵי בַעַל־הַבַּיִת וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֲדֹנֵינוּ הֲלֹא־זֶרַע טוֹב זָרַעְתָּ בְשָׂדֶךָ וּמֵאַיִן לוֹ הַזּוּנִין	27 The slaves of the householder came to him and said, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?'
28 וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם אִישׁ אוֹיֵב עָשָׂה זֹאת וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הָעֲבָדִים הֲיֵשׁ אֶת־נַפְשְׁךָ כִּי־נֵלֵךְ וּנְלַקֵּט אֹתָם	28 He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
29 וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא פֶּן־בְּלַקֶּטְכֶם אֶת־הַזּוּנִין תְּשָׁרְשׁוּ גַּם אֶת־הַחִטִּים	29 He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them.
30 הַנִּיחוּ אֹתָם וְיִגְדְּלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶם יַחַד עַד־הַקָּצִיר וְהָיָה בְּעֵת הַקָּצִיר אֹמַר לַקּוֹצְרִים לַקְּטוּ בָרִאשׁוֹנָה אֶת־הַזּוּנִין וְאִגְדוּ אֹתָם אֲגֻדּוֹת לְשָׂרְפָם וְאֵת הַחִטִּים אִסְפוּ לְאוֹצָרִי	30 Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, "First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn."'"
31 וַיָּשֶׂם לִפְנֵיהֶם מָשָׁל אַחֵר לֵאמֹר מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם דּוֹמָה לְגַרְגֵּר שֶׁל־חַרְדָּל אֲשֶׁר לְקָחוֹ אִישׁ וַיִּזְרָעֵהוּ בְּשָׂדֵהוּ	31 He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field.
32 וְהוּא קָטֹן מִכָּל־הַזֵּרוֹעִים וְכַאֲשֶׁר צָמַח גָּדוֹל הוּא מִן־הַיְרָקוֹת וְהָיָה לְעֵץ עַד־אֲשֶׁר יָבֹאוּ עוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְקִנְּנוּ בַּעֲנָפָיו	32 It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'"
33 וַיִּשָּׂא עוֹד מְשָׁלוֹ וַיֹּאמַר מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם דּוֹמָה לִשְׂאֹר אֲשֶׁר לְקָחַתּוּ אִשָּׁה וַתִּטְמְנֵהוּ בִּשְׁלשׁ סְאִים קֶמַח עַד כִּי־יֶחְמַץ כֻּלּוֹ	33 He spoke to them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened."
34 כָּל־זֹאת דִּבֶּר יֵשׁוּעַ בִּמְשָׁלִים אֶל־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וּבִבְלִי מָשָׁל לֹא דִבֶּר אֲלֵיהֶם	34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables. He spoke to them only in parables,
35 לְמַלֹּאת אֵת אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר אֶפְתְּחָה בְמָשָׁל פִּי אַבִּיעָה חִידוֹת מִנִּי־קֶדֶם	35 to fulfill what had been said through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation (of the world)."
36 אָז שִׁלַּח יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־הֲמוֹן הָעָם וַיָּבֹא הַבָּיְתָה וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו תַּלְמִידָיו וַיֹּאמְרוּ בָּאֶר־נָא לָנוּ אֶת־מְשַׁל זוּנֵי הַשָּׂדֶה	36 Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house. His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
37 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הַזּוֹרֵעַ אֶת־הַזֶּרַע הַטּוֹב הוּא בֶּן־הָאָדָם	37 He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man,
38 וְהַשָּׂדֶה הוּא הָעוֹלָם וְהַזֶּרַע הַטּוֹב בְּנֵי הַמַּלְכוּת הֵם וְהַזּוּנִין בְּנֵי הָרַע הֵמָּה	38 the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one,
39 וְהָאֹיֵב אֲשֶׁר זְרָעָם הוּא הַשָּׂטָן וְהַקָּצִיר הוּא קֵץ הָעוֹלָם וְהַקֹּצְרִים הֵם הַמַּלְאָכִים	39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 וְהִנֵּה כַּאֲשֶׁר יְלֻקְּטוּ הַזּוּנִין וְנִשְׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ כֵּן יִהְיֶה בְּקֵץ הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה	40 Just as weeds are collected and burned (up) with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.
41 בֶּן־הָאָדָם יִשְׁלַח אֶת־מַלְאָכָיו וְלִקְּטוּ מִמַּלְכוּתוֹ אֵת כָּל־הַמַּכְשֵׁלוֹת וְאֵת כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי הָאָוֶן	41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.
42 וְהִשְׁלִיכוּ אֹתָם אֶל־תַּנּוּר הָאֵשׁ שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	42 They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
43 אָז יַזְהִירוּ הַצַּדִּיקִים כַּשֶּׁמֶשׁ בְּמַלְכוּת אֲבִיהֶם מִי אֲשֶׁר אָזְנַיִם לוֹ לִשְׁמֹעַ יִשְׁמָע	43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear.
44 עוֹד דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם לְאוֹצָר טָמוּן בַּשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר מְצָאוֹ אִישׁ וַיִּטְמְנֵהוּ וּבְשִׂמְחָתוֹ יֵלֵךְ וּמָכַר אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וְקָנָה אֶת־הַשָּׂדֶה הַהוּא	44 "The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again, and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45 עוֹד דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם לְסֹחֵר הַמְבַקֵּשׁ מַרְגָּלִיּוֹת טֹבוֹת	45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls.
46 וְכַאֲשֶׁר מָצָא מַרְגָּלִית אַחַת יְקָרָה מְאֹד הָלַךְ לוֹ וַיִּמְכֹּר אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ וַיִּקֶן אֹתָהּ	46 When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sells all that he has and buys it.
47 עוֹד דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם לְמִכְמֶרֶת אֲשֶׁר הוּרְדָה לַיָּם וּמִינִים שׁוֹנִים יֵאָסְפוּ לְתוֹכָהּ	47 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.
48 וְכַאֲשֶׁר נִמְלְאָה הֶעֱלוּ אֹתָהּ אֶל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם וַיֵּשְׁבוּ וַיִּלְקְטוּ אֶת־הַמִּינִים הַטּוֹבִים לְתוֹךְ הַכֵּלִים וְאֵת הַמָּשְׁחָתִים הִשְׁלִיכוּ חוּצָה	48 When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is good into buckets. What is bad they throw away.
49 כֵּן יִהְיֶה בְּקֵץ הָעוֹלָם יֵצְאוּ הַמַּלְאָכִים וְהִבְדִּילוּ אֶת־הָרְשָׁעִים מִתּוֹךְ הַצַּדִּיקִים	49 Thus it will be at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous
50 וְהִשְׁלִיכוּם אֶל־תַּנּוּר הָאֵשׁ שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	50 and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
51 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ הַאַתֶּם הֲבִינוֹתֶם אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֵּן אֲדֹנֵינוּ	51 "Do you understand all these things?" They answered, "Yes."
52 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם עַל־כֵּן כָּל־סוֹפֵר הַמְלֻמָּד לְמַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם דּוֹמֶה לְאִישׁ בַּעַל־הַבַּיִת הַמּוֹצִיא מֵאוֹצָרוֹ חֲדָשׁוֹת וִישָׁנוֹת	52 And he replied, "Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."
53 וַיְהִי כְּכַלּוֹת יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־הַמְּשָׁלִים הָאֵלֶּה וַיַּעֲבֹר מִשָּׁם	53 When Jesus finished these parables, he went away from there.
54 וַיָּבֹא לְאַרְצוֹ וַיְלַמֵּד אֹתָם בְּבֵית כְּנִסְתָּם עַד כִּי־הִשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ מֵאַיִן לָזֶה הַחָכְמָה הַזֹּאת וְהַגְּבוּרוֹת	54 He came to his native place and taught the people in their synagogue. They were astonished and said, "Where did this man get such wisdom and mighty deeds?
55 הֲלֹא זֶה הוּא בֶּן־הֶחָרָשׁ הֲלֹא אִמּוֹ שְׁמָהּ מִרְיָם וְאֶחָיו יַעֲקֹב וְיוֹסֵי וְשִׁמְעוֹן וִיהוּדָה	55 Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 וְאַחְיוֹתָיו הֲלֹא כֻלָּן אִתָּנוּ הֵן וּמֵאַיִן אֵיפוֹא לוֹ כָּל־אֵלֶּה	56 Are not his sisters all with us? Where did this man get all this?"
57 וַיְהִי לָהֶם לְמִכְשׁוֹל וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֲלֵיהֶם אֵין הַנָּבִיא נִקְלֶה כִּי אִם־בְּאַרְצוֹ וּבְבֵיתוֹ	57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house."
58 וְלֹא־עָשָׂה שָׁם גְּבוּרוֹת רַבּוֹת מִפְּנֵי חֹסֶר אֱמוּנָתָם	58 And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith.
