Seconda lettera ai Corinzi (מכתב שני לקורינתים) 22

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּסֵף דַּבֵּר בִּמְשָׁלִים אֲלֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר	1 Jesus again in reply spoke to them in parables, saying,
2 דּוֹמָה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם לְמֶלֶךְ בָּשָׂר וָדָם אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה חֲתֻנָּה לִבְנוֹ	2 "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.
3 וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־עֲבָדָיו לִקְרֹא הַקְּרוּאִים אֶל־הַחֲתֻנָּה וְלֹא אָבוּ לָבוֹא	3 He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come.
4 וַיֹּסֶף שְׁלֹחַ עֲבָדִים אֲחֵרִים לֵאמֹר אִמְרוּ אֶל־הַקְּרוּאִים הִנֵּה עָרַכְתִּי אֶת־סְעוּדָתִי שְׁוָרַי וּמְרִיאַי טְבוּחִים וְהַכֹּל מוּכָן בֹּאוּ אֶל־הַחֲתֻנָּה	4 A second time he sent other servants, saying, 'Tell those invited: "Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast."'
5 וְהֵם לֹא־שָׁתוּ לִבָּם לָזֹאת וַיֵּלְכוּ לָהֶם זֶה אֶל־שָׂדֵהוּ וְזֶה אֶל־מִסְחָרוֹ	5 Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his business.
6 וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִים תָּפְשֹוּ אֶת־עֲבָדָיו וַיִּתְעַלְּלוּ בָם וַיַּהַרְגוּם	6 The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7 וַיִּקְצֹף הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיִּשְׁלַח צִבְאוֹתָיו וַיְאַבֵּד אֶת־הַמְרַצְּחִים הָהֵם וְאֶת־עִירָם שָׂרַף בָּאֵשׁ	7 The king was enraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.
8 אָז אָמַר אֶל־עֲבָדָיו הֵן הַחֲתֻנָּה מוּכָנָה וְהַקְּרוּאִים לֹא הָיוּ רְאוּיִם לָהּ	8 Then he said to his servants, 'The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come.
9 לָכֵן לְכוּ־נָא אֶל־רָאשֵׁי הַדְּרָכִים וְכָל־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר תִּמְצְאוּ קִרְאוּ אֹתוֹ אֶל־הַחֲתֻנָּה	9 Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.'
10 וַיֵּצְאוּ הָעֲבָדִים הָהֵם אֶל־הַדְּרָכִים וַיַּאַסְפוּ אֶת־כֹּל אֲשֶׁר מָצָאוּ גַּם־רָעִים גַּם־טוֹבִים וַיִּמָּלֵא בֵית־הַחֲתֻנָּה מְסֻבִּים	10 The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests.
11 וַיְהִי כְּבוֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ לִרְאוֹת אֶת־הַמְסֻבִּים וַיַּרְא בָּהֶם אִישׁ וְלֹא הָיָה לָבוּשׁ בִּגְדֵי חֲתֻנָּה	11 But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment.
12 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו רֵעִי אֵיכָה בָאתָ הֵנָּה וְאֵין לְךָ בִּגְדֵי חֲתֻנָּה וַיֵּאָלַם	12 He said to him, 'My friend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?' But he was reduced to silence.
13 וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לַמְשָׁרְתִים אִסְרוּ יָדָיו וְרַגְלָיו וּנְשָׂאתֶם וְהִשְׁלַכְתֶּם אוֹתוֹ אֶל־הַחשֶׁךְ הַחִיצוֹן שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	13 Then the king said to his attendants, 'Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.'
14 כִּי רַבִּים הֵם הַקְּרוּאִים וּמְעַטִּים הַנִּבְחָרִים	14 Many are invited, but few are chosen."
15 וַיֵּלְכוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיִּתְיָעֲצוּ אֵיךְ יַכְשִׁילֻהוּ בְּדָבָר	15 Then the Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap him in speech.
16 וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ אֵלָיו אֶת־תַּלְמִידֵיהֶם עִם־הַהוֹרְדוֹסִיִּים לֵאמֹר רַבִּי יָדַעְנוּ כִּי־אִישׁ אֱמֶת אַתָּה וַתּוֹרֶה בֶאֱמֶת אֶת־דֶּרֶךְ אֱלֹהִים וְלֹא תָגוּר מִפְּנֵי אִישׁ כִּי אֵינְךָ מַכִּיר פְּנֵי אָדָם	16 They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a person's status.
17 לָכֵן הַגִּידָה־נָּא לָנוּ אֶת־דַּעְתֶּךָ הֲנָכוֹן לָנוּ לָתֵת־מַס אֶל־הַקֵּיסַר אִם־לֹא	17 Tell us, then, what is your opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?"
18 וְיֵשׁוּעַ יָדַע אֶת־רִשְׁעָתָם וַיֹּאמַר הַחֲנֵפִים מַה־תְּנַסּוּנִי	18 Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?
19 הַרְאוּנִי אֶת־מַטְבֵּעַ הַמַּס וַיָּבִיאוּ לוֹ דִּינָר	19 Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin.
20 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם שֶׁל־מִי הַדְּיוֹקָן הַזֶּה וְהַכָּתוּב אֲשֶׁר עָלָיו	20 He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?"
21 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו שֶׁל־הַקֵּיסָר וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לָכֵן תְּנוּ לַקֵּיסַר אֵת אֲשֶׁר לַקֵּיסַר וְלֵאלֹהִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר לֵאלֹהִים	21 They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God."
22 וּכְשָׁמְעָם אֶת־זֹאת תָּמָהוּ וַיַּעַזְבֻהוּ וַיֵּלְכוּ לָהֶם	22 When they heard this they were amazed, and leaving him they went away.
23 בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נִגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו צַדּוּקִים הָאֹמְרִים כִּי אֵין תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ אֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר	23 On that day Sadducees approached him, saying that there is no resurrection. They put this question to him,
24 רַבִּי הֵן משֶׁה אָמַר אִישׁ כִּי־יָמוּת וּבָנִים אֵין־לוֹ אָחִיו יְיַבֵּם אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ וְהֵקִים זֶרַע לְאָחִיו	24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies without children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up descendants for his brother.'
25 וְאִתָּנוּ הָיוּ שִׁבְעָה אַחִים וְהָרִאשׁוֹן נָשָׂא אִשָּׁה וַיָּמָת וְזֶרַע אֵין לוֹ וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ לְאָחִיו	25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died and, having no descendants, left his wife to his brother.
26 וּכְמוֹ־כֵן גַּם הַשֵּׁנִי וְכֵן גַּם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי עַד הַשִּׁבְעָה	26 The same happened with the second and the third, through all seven.
27 וְאַחֲרֵי כֻלָּם מֵתָה גַּם־הָאִשָּׁה	27 Finally the woman died.
28 וְעַתָּה בִּתְחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים לְמִי מִן־הַשִּׁבְעָה תִּהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה כִּי לְכֻלָּם הָיָתָה	28 Now at the resurrection, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had been married to her."
29 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם טֹעִים אַתֶּם בַּאֲשֶׁר אֵינְכֶם יוֹדְעִים אֶת־הַכְּתוּבִים וְגַם אֶת־גְּבוּרַת הָאֱלֹהִים	29 Jesus said to them in reply, "You are misled because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God.
30 כִּי בִּתְחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים לֹא־יִשְׂאוּ נָשִׁים וְלֹא תִנָּשֶׂאנָה כִּי אִם־כְּמַלְאֲכֵי אֱלֹהִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִהְיוּ	30 At the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like the angels in heaven.
31 וְעַל־דְּבַר תְּחִיַּת הַמֵּתִים הֲלֹא קְרָאתֶם אֶת־הַנֶּאֱמָר לָכֶם מִפִּי הָאֱלֹהִים לֵאמֹר	31 And concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God,
32 אָנֹכִי אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם וֵאלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב וְהוּא אֵינֶנּוּ אֱלֹהֵי הַמֵּתִים כִּי אִם־אֱלֹהֵי הַחַיִּים	32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
33 וַיִּשְׁמַע הֲמוֹן הָעָם וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמְמוּ עַל־תּוֹרָתוֹ	33 When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.
34 וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים כְּשָׁמְעָם כִּי סָכַר פִּי הַצַּדּוּקִים וַיִּוָּעֲדוּ יַחְדָּו	34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together,
35 וְאֶחָד מֵהֶם מֵבִין בַּתּוֹרָה שָׁאַל אֹתוֹ לְנַסּוֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר	35 and one of them [a scholar of the law] tested him by asking,
36 רַבִּי אֵיזוֹ מִצְוָה גְּדוֹלָה הִיא בַּתּוֹרָה	36 "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"
37 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֵלָיו וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל־לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל־נַפְשְׁךָ וּבְכָל־מַדָּעֶךָ	37 He said to him, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
38 זֹאת הִיא הַמִּצְוָה הַגְּדוֹלָה וְהָרִאשׁוֹנָה	38 This is the greatest and the first commandment.
39 וְהַשֵּׁנִית דּוֹמָה לָהּ וְאָהַבְתָּ לְרֵעֲךָ כָּמוֹךָ	39 The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
40 בִּשְׁתֵּי הַמִּצְוֺת הָאֵלֶּה כָּל־הַתּוֹרָה תְּלוּיָה וְגַם הַנְּבִיאִים	40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
41 וַיְהִי בְּהִקָּהֵל הַפְּרוּשִׁים וַיִּשְׁאָלֵם יֵשׁוּעַ לֵאמֹר	41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them,
42 מַה־דַּעְתְּכֶם עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ בֶּן־מִי הוּא וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו בֶּן־דָּוִד	42 saying, "What is your opinion about the Messiah? Whose son is he?" They replied, "David's."
43 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם וְאֵיךְ קָרָא־לוֹ דָוִד בָּרוּחַ אָדוֹן בְּאָמְרוֹ	43 He said to them, "How, then, does David, inspired by the Spirit, call him 'lord,' saying:
44 נְאֻם יְהוָֹה לַאדֹנִי שֵׁב לִימִינִי עַד־אָשִׁית אֹיְבֶיךָ הֲדֹם לְרַגְלֶיךָ	44 'The Lord said to my lord, "Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies under your feet"'?
45 וְעַתָּה אִם־דָּוִד קֹרֵא לוֹ אָדוֹן אֵיךְ הוּא בְּנוֹ	45 If David calls him 'lord,' how can he be his son?"
46 וְלֹא־יָכֹל אִישׁ לַעֲנוֹת אֹתוֹ דָּבָר וְלֹא־עָרַב עוֹד אִישׁ אֶת־לִבּוֹ מִן־הַיּוֹם הַהוּא לִשְׁאֹל אוֹתוֹ	46 No one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.
