Lettera agli Efesini - מכתב לאפסים 24

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וּבְאֶחָד בַּשַּׁבָּת לִפְנֵי עֲלוֹת הַשַּׁחַר בָּאוּ אֶל־הַקָּבֶר וַתְּבִיאֶינָה אֶת־הַבְּשָׂמִים אֲשֶׁר הֵכִינוּ וְעִמָּהֶן עוֹד אֲחֵרוֹת	1 But at daybreak on the first day of the week they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן גְּלוּלָה מִן־הַקָּבֶר	2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
3 וַתָּבֹאנָה פְנִימָה וְלֹא מָצְאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיַּת הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ	3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 וַיְהִי הֵנָּה נְבֻכוֹת עַל־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וְהִנֵּה שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים עָמְדוּ עֲלֵיהֶן וּלְבוּשֵׁיהֶם מַזְהִירִים	4 While they were puzzling over this, behold, two men in dazzling garments appeared to them.
5 וַיִּפֹּל פַּחַד עֲלֵיהֶן וַתִּקֹּדְנָה אַפַּיִם אָרְצָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶן מַה־תְּבַקֵּשְׁנָה אֶת־הַחַי אֵצֶל הַמֵּתִים	5 They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, "Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
6 אֵינֶנּוּ פֹה כִּי קָם זְכֹרְנָה אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיכֶן בְּעוֹד הֱיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל לֵאמֹר	6 He is not here, but he has been raised. Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee,
7 כִּי צָרִיךְ בֶּן־הָאָדָם לְהִמָּסֵר לִידֵי אֲנָשִׁים חַטָּאִים וּלְהִצָּלֵב וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי קוֹם יָקוּם	7 that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day."
8 וַתִּזְכֹּרְנָה אֶת־דְּבָרָיו	8 And they remembered his words.
9 וַתָּשֹׁבְנָה מִן־הַקָּבֶר וַתַּגֵּדְנָה אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לְאַחַד הֶעָשָׂר וּלְכֹל הָאֲחֵרִים	9 Then they returned from the tomb and announced all these things to the eleven and to all the others.
10 וּמִרְיָם הַמַּגְדָּלִית וְיוֹחָנָה וּמִרְיָם אֵם יַעֲקֹב וְהָאֲחֵרוֹת אֲשֶׁר עִמָּהֶן הֵנָּה הָיוּ הַמְדַבְּרוֹת אֶל־הַשְּׁלִיחִים אֶת־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה	10 The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles,
11 וַיִּהְיוּ דִבְרֵיהֶן כְּדִבְרֵי־רִיק בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וְלֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ לָהֶן	11 but their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them.
12 וּפֶטְרוֹס קָם וַיָּרָץ אֶל־הַקֶּבֶר וַיַּשְׁקֵף וְלֹא־רָאָה כִּי אִם־הַתַּכְרִיכִים מֻנָּחִים שָׁם וַיָּשָׁב לִמְקוֹמוֹ מִשְׁתּוֹמֵם עַל־הַנִּהְיָה	12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, bent down, and saw the burial cloths alone; then he went home amazed at what had happened.
13 וְהִנֵּה שְׁנַיִם מֵהֶם הָיוּ הֹלְכִים בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֶל־כְּפָר הַרְחֵק מִירוּשָׁלַיִם כְּשִׁשִּים רִיס וּשְׁמוֹ עַמָּאוּס	13 Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus,
14 וְהֵם נִדְבְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ עַל־כָּל־הַקֹּרוֹת הָאֵלֶּה	14 and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.
15 וַיְהִי בְּדַבְּרָם וּבְהִתְוַכְּחָם יָחַד וַיִּגַּשׁ יֵשׁוּעַ אַף־הוּא וַיֵּלֶךְ אִתָּם	15 And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them,
16 וְעֵינֵיהֶם נֶאֱחָזוּ וְלֹא יַכִּירֻהוּ	16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
17 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מָה הֵמָּה הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם נֹשְׂאִים וְנֹתְנִים בָּהֶם יַחְדָּו בַּדָּרֶךְ וּפְנֵיכֶם זֹעֲפִים	17 He asked them, "What are you discussing as you walk along?" They stopped, looking downcast.
18 וַיַּעַן הָאֶחָד אֲשֶׁר־שְׁמוֹ קְלֵיוֹפָס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַאַתָּה לְבַדְּךָ גָּר בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וְאֵינְךָ יֹדֵעַ אֶת־הַקֹּרֹת בָּהּ בַּיָּמִים הָאֵלֶּה	18 One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?"
19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם וּמָה הֵמָּה וַיַּגִּידוּ אֵלָיו מַעֲשֶׂה יֵשׁוּעַ הַנָּצְרִי אֲשֶׁר הָיָה אִישׁ נָבִיא גִּבּוֹר בְּפֹעַל וּבְאֹמֶר לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים וְלִפְנֵי כָּל־הָעָם	19 And he replied to them, "What sort of things?" They said to him, "The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
20 וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר כֹּהֲנֵינוּ הַגְּדוֹלִים וּזְקֵנֵינוּ הִסְגִּירֻהוּ לְמִשְׁפַּט־מָוֶת וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ	20 how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him.
21 וַאֲנַחְנוּ חִכִּינוּ כִּי־הוּא הֶעָתִיד לִגְאֹל אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה בְכָל־זֹאת הַיּוֹם יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי מֵאָז נַעֲשֹוּ אֵלֶּה	21 But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place.
22 וְהִנֵּה גַּם־נָשִׁים מִקִּרְבֵּנוּ הֶחֱרִידֻנוּ אֲשֶׁר־קִדְּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר לָבֹא לַקָּבֶר	22 Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning
23 וְלֹא מָצְאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיָּתוֹ וַתָּבֹאנָה וַתֹּאמַרְנָה כִּי רָאוּ גַּם־מַרְאֵה מַלְאָכִים הָאֹמְרִים כִּי־הוּא חָי	23 and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive.
24 וַיֵּלְכוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִשֶּׁלָּנוּ אֶל־הַקָּבֶר וַיִּמְצְאוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ הַנָּשִׁים וְאוֹתוֹ לֹא רָאוּ	24 Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see."
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הוֹי חַסְרֵי דַעַת וְכִבְדֵי לֵב מֵהַאֲמִין בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבְּרוּ הַנְּבִיאִים	25 And he said to them, "Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke!
26 הֲלֹא עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ הָיָה לִסְבֹּל אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת וְלָבוֹא אֶל־כְּבוֹדוֹ	26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
27 וַיָּחֶל מִמּשֶׁה וּמִכָּל־הַנְּבִיאִים וַיְבָאֵר לָהֶם אֶת־כָּל־הַכְּתוּבִים הַנֶּאֱמָרִים עָלָיו	27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures.
28 וַיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָר אֲשֶׁר־הֵם הֹלְכִים שָׁמָּה וַיָּשֶׂם פָּנָיו כְּהֹלֵךְ לוֹ לְדַרְכּוֹ	28 As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther.
29 וַיִּפְצְרוּ־בוֹ לֵאמֹר שְׁבָה אִתָּנוּ כִּי עֶת־עֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וְנָטָה הַיּוֹם וַיָּבֹא הַבַּיְתָה לָשֶׁבֶת אִתָּם	29 But they urged him, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
30 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵסֵב עִמָּהֶם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַלָּחֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּבְצַע וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם	30 And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.
31 וַתִּפָּקַחְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם וַיַּכִּירֻהוּ וְהוּא חָמַק עָבַר מֵעֵינֵיהֶם	31 With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.
32 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ הֲלֹא הָיָה בֹעֵר לְבָבֵנוּ בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ בְּדַבְּרוֹ אֵלֵינוּ בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיִּפְתַּח־לָנוּ אֵת הַכְּתוּבִים	32 Then they said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning (within us) while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?"
33 וַיָּקוּמוּ בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא וַיָּשׁוּבוּ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־אַחַד הֶעָשָׂר וְאֵת־אֲשֶׁר אִתָּם נִקְהָלִים יָחַד	33 So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the eleven and those with them
34 הָאֹמְרִים אָכֵן קָם הָאָדוֹן מִן־הַמֵּתִים וְנִרְאָה אֶל־שִׁמְעוֹן	34 who were saying, "The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!"
35 וַיְסַפְּרוּ גַם־הֵם אֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה לָהֶם בַּדָּרֶךְ וְאֵיךְ הִכִּירֻהוּ בִּבְצִיעַת הַלָּחֶם	35 Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
36 עוֹדָם מְדַבְּרִים כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְהוּא יֵשׁוּעַ עָמַד בְּתוֹכָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם שָׁלוֹם לָכֶם	36 While they were still speaking about this, he stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you."
37 וְהֵמָּה חַתּוּ וְנִבְעָתוּ וַיַּחְשְׁבוּ כִּי־רוּחַ רָאוּ	37 But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.
38 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַה־זֶּה אַתֶּם נִבְהָלִים וְעַל־מַה־זֶּה מַחֲשָׁבוֹת עֹלוֹת בִּלְבַבְכֶם	38 Then he said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts?
39 רְאוּ אֶת־יָדַי וְאֶת־רַגְלַי כִּי אָנֹכִי הוּא מֻשּׁוּנִי וּרְאוּ כִּי רוּחַ אֵין לוֹ בָּשָׂר וַעֲצָמוֹת כַּאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים שֶׁיֵּשׁ־לִי	39 Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have."
40 וְאַחֲרֵי אָמְרוֹ אֶת־זֹאת הֶרְאָה אֹתָם אֵת יָדָיו וְאֵת רַגְלָיו	40 And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 וְהֵם עוֹד לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ מִשִּׂמְחָה וְתָמָהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֲיֵשׁ־לָכֶם פֹּה דְּבַר־אֹכֶל	41 While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
42 וַיִּתְּנוּ לְפָנָיו חֵלֶק דָּג צָלוּי וּמְעַט צוּף דְּבָשׁ	42 They gave him a piece of baked fish;
43 וַיִּקַּח וַיֹּאכַל לְעֵינֵיהֶם	43 he took it and ate it in front of them.
44 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֵלֶּה הֵם הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בְּעוֹד הֱיוֹתִי עִמָּכֶם כִּי הִמָּלֵא יִמָּלֵא כָּל־הַכָּתוּב עָלַי בְּתוֹרַת משֶׁה וּבַנְּבִיאִים וּבַתְּהִלִּים	44 He said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled."
45 אָז פָּתַח אֶת־לְבָבָם לְהָבִין אֶת־הַכְּתוּבִים	45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures.
46 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כֵּן כָּתוּב וְכֵן נִגְזָר אֲשֶׁר יְעֻנֶּה הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְיָקוּם מִן־הַמֵּתִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי	46 And he said to them, "Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day
47 וַאֲשֶׁר תִּקָּרֵא בִשְׁמוֹ תְּשׁוּבָה וּסְלִיחַת הַחֲטָאִים בְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִם הָחֵל מִירוּשָׁלָיִם	47 and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 וְאַתֶּם עֵדִים בָּזֹאת	48 You are witnesses of these things.
49 וְהִנְנִי שׁוֹלֵחַ עֲלֵיכֶם אֵת הַבְטָחַת אָבִי וְאַתֶּם שְׁבוּ בָּעִיר יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עַד כִּי־תִלְבְּשׁוּ עֹז מִמָּרוֹם	49 And (behold) I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."
50 וַיּוֹלִיכֵם מִחוּץ לָעִיר עַד־בֵּית הִינִי וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־יָדָיו וַיְבָרְכֵם	50 Then he led them (out) as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them.
51 וַיְהִי בְּבָרְכוֹ אֹתָם וַיִּפָּרֵד מֵאִתָּם וַיִּנָּשֵׂא הַשָּׁמָיְמָה	51 As he blessed them he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.
52 וְהֵם הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם בְּשִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה	52 They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
53 וַיִּהְיוּ תָמִיד בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ מְהַלְלִים וּמְבָרְכִים אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אָמֵן	53 and they were continually in the temple praising God.
