Seconda lettera ai Corinzi (מכתב שני לקורינתים) 24

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וַיֵּצֵא יֵשׁוּעַ מִן־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לָלֶכֶת לְדַרְכּוֹ וַיִּגְּשׁוּ תַּלְמִידָיו לְהַרְאוֹתוֹ אֶת־בִּנְיְנֵי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ	1 Jesus left the temple area and was going away, when his disciples approached him to point out the temple buildings.
2 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הַרְאִיתֶם אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם לֹא־תִשָּׁאֵר פֹּה אֶבֶן עַל־אֶבֶן אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִתְפָּרָק	2 He said to them in reply, "You see all these things, do you not? Amen, I say to you, there will not be left here a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down."
3 וַיֵּשֵׁב עַל־הַר הַזֵּיתִים וַיִּגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו הַתַּלְמִידִים לְבַדָּם וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֱמָר־נָא לָנוּ מָתַי תִּהְיֶה זֹאת וּמַה־הוּא אוֹת בּוֹאֲךָ וְאוֹת קֵץ הָעוֹלָם	3 As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately and said, "Tell us, when will this happen, and what sign will there be of your coming, and of the end of the age?"
4 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם רְאוּ פֶּן־יַתְעֶה אֶתְכֶם אִישׁ	4 Jesus said to them in reply, "See that no one deceives you.
5 כִּי רַבִּים יָבֹאוּ בִּשְׁמִי לֵאמֹר אֲנִי הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְהִתְעוּ רַבִּים	5 For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah,' and they will deceive many.
6 וְאַתֶּם עֲתִידִים לִשְׁמֹעַ מִלְחָמוֹת וּשְׁמֻעוֹת מִלְחָמָה רְאוּ פֶּן־תִּבָּהֵלוּ כִּי־הָיוֹ תִהְיֶה כָּל־זֹאת אַךְ עוֹד אֵין זֶה הַקֵּץ	6 You will hear of wars and reports of wars; see that you are not alarmed, for these things must happen, but it will not yet be the end.
7 כִּי יָקוּם גּוֹי עַל־גּוֹי וּמַמְלָכָה עַל־מַמְלָכָה וְהָיָה רָעָב וְדֶבֶר וָרַעַשׁ הֵנָּה וָהֵנָּה	7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be famines and earthquakes from place to place.
8 וְכָל־אֵלֶּה רַק רֵאשִׁית הַחֲבָלִים	8 All these are the beginning of the labor pains.
9 אָז יְעַנּוּ אֶתְכֶם וְיִמְסְרוּ אֶתְכֶם לְמִיתָה וִהְיִיתֶם שְׂנוּאִים לְכָל־הַגּוֹיִם לְמַעַן שְׁמִי	9 Then they will hand you over to persecution, and they will kill you. You will be hated by all nations because of my name.
10 וְאָז יִכָּשְׁלוּ רַבִּים וּמָסְרוּ אִישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵהוּ וְשָׂנְאוּ אִישׁ אֶת־אָחִיו	10 And then many will be led into sin; they will betray and hate one another.
11 וּנְבִיאֵי שֶׁקֶר רַבִּים יָקוּמוּ וְהִתְעוּ רַבִּים	11 Many false prophets will arise and deceive many;
12 וּמִפְּנֵי אֲשֶׁר יִרְבֶּה הָרֶשַׁע תָּפוּג אַהֲבַת רַבִּים	12 and because of the increase of evildoing, the love of many will grow cold.
13 וְהַמְחַכֶּה עַד־עֵת קֵץ הוּא יִוָּשֵׁעַ	13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
14 וְתִקָּרֵא בְּשׂוֹרַת הַמַּלְכוּת הַזֹּאת בְּתֵבֵל כֻּלָּהּ לְעֵדוּת לְכָל־הַגּוֹיִם וְאַחַר יָבוֹא הַקֵּץ	14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come.
15 לָכֵן כַּאֲשֶׁר תִּרְאוּ שִׁקּוּץ מְשֹׁמֵם הָאָמוּר עַל־יְדֵי דָנִיֵּאל הַנָּבִיא עוֹמֵד בִּמְקוֹם קֹדֶשׁ הַקֹּרֵא יָבִין	15 "When you see the desolating abomination spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),
16 אָז נוֹס יָנוּסוּ אַנְשֵׁי יְהוּדָה אֶל־הֶהָרִים	16 then those in Judea must flee to the mountains,
17 וַאֲשֶׁר עַל־הַגָּג אַל־יֵרֵד לָשֵׂאת דָּבָר מִבֵּיתוֹ	17 a person on the housetop must not go down to get things out of his house,
18 וַאֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶה אַל־יָשֹׁב הַבַּיְתָה לָשֵׂאת אֶת־מַלְבּוּשׁוֹ	18 a person in the field must not return to get his cloak.
19 וְאוֹי לֶהָרוֹת וְלַמֵּינִיקוֹת בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם	19 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days.
20 אַךְ הִתְפַּלְלוּ אֲשֶׁר מְנוּסַתְכֶם לֹא תִהְיֶה בַּחֹרֶף וְלֹא בַּשַּׁבָּת	20 Pray that your flight not be in winter or on the sabbath,
21 כִּי אָז תִּהְיֶה צָרָה גְדוֹלָה אֲשֶׁר כָּמוֹהָ לֹא־נִהְיְתָה מֵרֵאשִׁית הָעוֹלָם עַד־עָתָּה וְכָמוֹהָ לֹא תִהְיֶה עוֹד	21 for at that time there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will be.
22 וְלוּלֵא נִקְצְרוּ הַיָּמִים הָהֵם לֹא יִוָּשַׁע כָּל־בָּשָׂר אַךְ לְמַעַן הַבְּחִירִים יִקָּצְרוּ הַיָּמִים הָהֵם	22 And if those days had not been shortened, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect they will be shortened.
23 וְכִי־יֹאמַר אֲלֵיכֶם אִישׁ בָּעֵת הַהִיא הִנֵּה־פֹה הַמָּשִׁיחַ אוֹ הִנּוֹ־שָׁם אַל־תַּאֲמִינוּ	23 If anyone says to you then, 'Look, here is the Messiah!' or, 'There he is!' do not believe it.
24 כִּי יָקוּמוּ מְשִׁיחֵי שֶׁקֶר וּנְבִיאֵי שֶׁקֶר וְיִתְּנוּ אֹתוֹת גְּדוֹלוֹת וּמוֹפְתִים לְמַעַן הַתְעוֹת אַף אֶת הַבְּחִירִים אִם־יוּכָלוּ	24 False messiahs and false prophets will arise, and they will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect.
25 הִנֵּה מֵרֹאשׁ הִגַּדְתִּי לָכֶם	25 Behold, I have told it to you beforehand.
26 לָכֵן כִּי־יֹאמְרוּ אֲלֵיכֶם הִנּוֹ בַמִּדְבָּר אַל־תֵּצֵאוּ הִנּוֹ בַחֲדָרִים אַל־תַּאֲמִינוּ	26 So if they say to you, 'He is in the desert,' do not go out there; if they say, 'He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.
27 כִּי כַבָּרָק הַיּוֹצֵא מִמִּזְרָח וּמֵאִיר עַד־מַעֲרָב כֵּן יִהְיֶה גַּם־בּוֹאוֹ שֶׁל־בֶּן־הָאָדָם	27 For just as lightning comes from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
28 כִּי בַאֲשֶׁר הַפֶּגֶר שָׁם יִקָּבְצוּ הַנְּשָׁרִים	28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
29 וּמִיָּד אַחֲרֵי צָרַת הַיָּמִים הָהֵם תֶּחְשַׁךְ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְהַיָּרֵחַ לֹא יַגִּיהַּ אוֹרוֹ וְהַכּוֹכָבִים יִפְּלוּ מִן־הַשָּׁמָיִם וְכֹחוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם יִתְמוֹטָטוּ	29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30 אָז אוֹת בֶּן־הָאָדָם יֵרָאֶה בַּשָּׁמָיִם וְסָפְדוּ כָּל־מִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאָרֶץ וְרָאוּ אֶת בֶּן־הָאָדָם בָּא עִם־עַנְנֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם בִּגְבוּרָה וְכָבוֹד רָב	30 And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 וְיִשְׁלַח אֶת־מַלְאָכָיו בְּקוֹל שׁוֹפָר גָּדוֹל וִיקַבְּצוּ אֶת־בְּחִירָיו מֵאַרְבַּע הָרוּחוֹת לְמִקְצֵה הַשָּׁמַיִם וְעַד קְצֵה הַשָּׁמָיִם	31 And he will send out his angels with a trumpet blast, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
32 לִמְדוּ־נָא אֶת־מְשַׁל הַתְּאֵנָה כַּאֲשֶׁר יִרְטַב עֲנָפָהּ וּפָרְחוּ עָלֶיהָ יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי קָרוֹב הַקָּיִץ	32 "Learn a lesson from the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.
33 כֵּן גַּם־אַתֶּם בִּרְאוֹתְכֶם אֶת־כָּל־אֵלֶּה דְּעוּ כִּי־קָרוֹב הוּא לַפָּתַח	33 In the same way, when you see all these things, know that he is near, at the gates.
34 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי לֹא יַעֲבֹר הַדּוֹר הַזֶּה עַד אֲשֶׁר־יִהְיוּ כָל־אֵלֶּה	34 Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.
35 הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ יַעֲבֹרוּ וּדְבָרַי לֹא יַעֲבֹרוּן	35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
36 אַךְ הַיּוֹם הַהוּא וְהַשָּׁעָה הַהִיא אֵין אִישׁ יוֹדֵעַ אֹתָהּ גַּם־לֹא מַלְאֲכֵי הַשָּׁמַיִם בִּלְתִּי אָבִי לְבַדּוֹ	36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
37 וְכִימֵי נֹחַ כֵּן יִהְיֶה גַּם־בּוֹאוֹ שֶׁל־בֶּן־הָאָדָם	37 For as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 כִּי כַּאֲשֶׁר בִּימֵי הַמַּבּוּל הָיוּ אֹכְלִים וְשֹׁתִים נֹשְׂאִים נָשִׁים וְנֹתְנִים אוֹתָן לַאֲנָשִׁים עַד־הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר־בָּא נֹחַ אֶל־הַתֵּבָה	38 In (those) days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark.
39 וְלֹא יָדְעוּ עַד־בּוֹא הַמַּבּוּל וַיְשַׁחֵת אֶת־כֻּלָּם כֵּן יִהְיֶה גַּם־בּוֹאוֹ שֶׁל בֶּן־הָאָדָם	39 They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be (also) at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 אָז יִהְיוּ שְׁנַיִם בַּשָּׂדֶה אֶחָד יֵאָסֵף וְאֶחָד יֵעָזֵב	40 Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left.
41 שְׁתַּיִם טוֹחֲנוֹת בָּרֵחַיִם אַחַת תֵּאָסֵף וְאַחַת תֵּעָזֵב	41 Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left.
42 לָכֵן שְׁקֹדוּ כִּי אֵינְכֶם יוֹדְעִים בְּאֵיזוֹ שָׁעָה יָבֹא אֲדֹנֵיכֶם	42 Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.
43 וְאֶת־זֹאת הָבִינוּ אֲשֶׁר לוּ־יָדַע בַּעַל הַבַּיִת בְּאֵיזוֹ אַשְׁמוּרָה יָבֹא הַגַּנָּב כִּי־עַתָּה שָׁקַד וְלֹא הִנִּיחַ לַחְתֹּר אֶת־בֵּיתוֹ	43 Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into.
44 לָכֵן הֱיוּ נְכוֹנִים גַּם־אַתֶּם כִּי בְשָׁעָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא תְדַמּוּ יָבוֹא בֶּן־הָאָדָם	44 So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.
45 מִי הוּא אֵפוֹא הָעֶבֶד הַנֶּאֱמָן וְהַנָּבוֹן אֲשֶׁר הִפְקִידוֹ אֲדֹנָיו עַל־בְּנֵי בֵיתוֹ לָתֵת לָהֶם אֶת־אָכְלָם בְּעִתּוֹ	45 "Who, then, is the faithful and prudent servant, whom the master has put in charge of his household to distribute to them their food at the proper time?
46 אַשְׁרֵי הָעֶבֶד אֲשֶׁר אֲדֹנָיו בְּבוֹאוֹ יִמְצָאֵהוּ עֹשֶׂה כֵּן	46 Blessed is that servant whom his master on his arrival finds doing so.
47 אָמֵן אֹמֵר אֲנִי לָכֶם כִּי יַפְקִידֵהוּ עַל־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ	47 Amen, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property.
48 וְאִם הָעֶבֶד הָרַע יֹאמַר בְּלִבּוֹ בּשֵׁשׁ אֲדֹנִי לָבוֹא	48 But if that wicked servant says to himself, 'My master is long delayed,'
49 וְיָחֵל לְהַכּוֹת אֶת־חֲבֵרָיו וְאָכַל וְשָׁתָה עִם־הַסּוֹבְאִים	49 and begins to beat his fellow servants, and eat and drink with drunkards,
50 בּוֹא יָבוֹא אֲדֹנֵי הָעֶבֶד הַהוּא בְּיוֹם לֹא יְצַפֶּה וּבְשָׁעָה לֹא יֵדָע	50 the servant's master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour
51 וִישַׁסֵּף אוֹתוֹ וְיָשִׂים אֶת־חֶלְקוֹ עִם הַחֲנֵפִים שָׁם תִּהְיֶה הַיְלָלָה וַחֲרֹק הַשִּׁנָּיִם	51 and will punish him severely and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
