1 וּבְאֶחָד בַּשַּׁבָּת לִפְנֵי עֲלוֹת הַשַּׁחַר בָּאוּ אֶל־הַקָּבֶר וַתְּבִיאֶינָה אֶת־הַבְּשָׂמִים אֲשֶׁר הֵכִינוּ וְעִמָּהֶן עוֹד אֲחֵרוֹת	1 Then, on the first Sabbath, at very first light, they went to the tomb, carrying the aromatic spices that they had prepared.
2 וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־הָאֶבֶן גְּלוּלָה מִן־הַקָּבֶר	2 And they found the stone rolled back from the tomb.
3 וַתָּבֹאנָה פְנִימָה וְלֹא מָצְאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיַּת הָאָדוֹן יֵשׁוּעַ	3 And upon entering, 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 And it happened that, while their minds were still confused about this, behold, two men stood beside them, in shining apparel.
5 וַיִּפֹּל פַּחַד עֲלֵיהֶן וַתִּקֹּדְנָה אַפַּיִם אָרְצָה וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶן מַה־תְּבַקֵּשְׁנָה אֶת־הַחַי אֵצֶל הַמֵּתִים	5 Then, since they were afraid and were turning their faces toward the ground, these two said to them: “Why do you seek the living with the dead?
6 אֵינֶנּוּ פֹה כִּי קָם זְכֹרְנָה אֵת אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אֲלֵיכֶן בְּעוֹד הֱיוֹתוֹ בַגָּלִיל לֵאמֹר	6 He is not here, for he has risen. Recall how he spoke to you, when he was still in Galilee,
7 כִּי צָרִיךְ בֶּן־הָאָדָם לְהִמָּסֵר לִידֵי אֲנָשִׁים חַטָּאִים וּלְהִצָּלֵב וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי קוֹם יָקוּם	7 saying: ‘For the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’ ”
8 וַתִּזְכֹּרְנָה אֶת־דְּבָרָיו	8 And they called to mind his words.
9 וַתָּשֹׁבְנָה מִן־הַקָּבֶר וַתַּגֵּדְנָה אֵת כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה לְאַחַד הֶעָשָׂר וּלְכֹל הָאֲחֵרִים	9 And returning from the tomb, they reported 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 Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women who were with them, who told these things to the Apostles.
11 וַיִּהְיוּ דִבְרֵיהֶן כְּדִבְרֵי־רִיק בְּעֵינֵיהֶם וְלֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ לָהֶן	11 But these words seemed to them a delusion. And so 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, rising up, ran to the tomb. And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths positioned alone, and he went away wondering to himself about what had happened.
13 וְהִנֵּה שְׁנַיִם מֵהֶם הָיוּ הֹלְכִים בְּעֶצֶם הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֶל־כְּפָר הַרְחֵק מִירוּשָׁלַיִם כְּשִׁשִּים רִיס וּשְׁמוֹ עַמָּאוּס	13 And behold, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem.
14 וְהֵם נִדְבְּרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ עַל־כָּל־הַקֹּרוֹת הָאֵלֶּה	14 And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred.
15 וַיְהִי בְּדַבְּרָם וּבְהִתְוַכְּחָם יָחַד וַיִּגַּשׁ יֵשׁוּעַ אַף־הוּא וַיֵּלֶךְ אִתָּם	15 And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them.
16 וְעֵינֵיהֶם נֶאֱחָזוּ וְלֹא יַכִּירֻהוּ	16 But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him.
17 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מָה הֵמָּה הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם נֹשְׂאִים וְנֹתְנִים בָּהֶם יַחְדָּו בַּדָּרֶךְ וּפְנֵיכֶם זֹעֲפִים	17 And he said to them, “What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad?”
18 וַיַּעַן הָאֶחָד אֲשֶׁר־שְׁמוֹ קְלֵיוֹפָס וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַאַתָּה לְבַדְּךָ גָּר בִּירוּשָׁלַיִם וְאֵינְךָ יֹדֵעַ אֶת־הַקֹּרֹת בָּהּ בַּיָּמִים הָאֵלֶּה	18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened 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 said to them, “What things?” And they said, “About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people.
20 וְאֵת אֲשֶׁר כֹּהֲנֵינוּ הַגְּדוֹלִים וּזְקֵנֵינוּ הִסְגִּירֻהוּ לְמִשְׁפַּט־מָוֶת וַיִּצְלְבֻהוּ	20 And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they 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 Redeemer of Israel. And now, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened.
22 וְהִנֵּה גַּם־נָשִׁים מִקִּרְבֵּנוּ הֶחֱרִידֻנוּ אֲשֶׁר־קִדְּמוּ בַבֹּקֶר לָבֹא לַקָּבֶר	22 Then, too, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb,
23 וְלֹא מָצְאוּ אֶת־גְּוִיָּתוֹ וַתָּבֹאנָה וַתֹּאמַרְנָה כִּי רָאוּ גַּם־מַרְאֵה מַלְאָכִים הָאֹמְרִים כִּי־הוּא חָי	23 and, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive.
24 וַיֵּלְכוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִשֶּׁלָּנוּ אֶל־הַקָּבֶר וַיִּמְצְאוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ הַנָּשִׁים וְאוֹתוֹ לֹא רָאוּ	24 And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. But truly, they did not find him.”
25 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הוֹי חַסְרֵי דַעַת וְכִבְדֵי לֵב מֵהַאֲמִין בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־דִּבְּרוּ הַנְּבִיאִים	25 And he said to them: “How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets!
26 הֲלֹא עַל־הַמָּשִׁיחַ הָיָה לִסְבֹּל אֶת־כָּל־זֹאת וְלָבוֹא אֶל־כְּבוֹדוֹ	26 Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory?”
27 וַיָּחֶל מִמּשֶׁה וּמִכָּל־הַנְּבִיאִים וַיְבָאֵר לָהֶם אֶת־כָּל־הַכְּתוּבִים הַנֶּאֱמָרִים עָלָיו	27 And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him.
28 וַיִּקְרְבוּ אֶל־הַכְּפָר אֲשֶׁר־הֵם הֹלְכִים שָׁמָּה וַיָּשֶׂם פָּנָיו כְּהֹלֵךְ לוֹ לְדַרְכּוֹ	28 And they drew near to the town were they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further.
29 וַיִּפְצְרוּ־בוֹ לֵאמֹר שְׁבָה אִתָּנוּ כִּי עֶת־עֶרֶב הִגִּיעַ וְנָטָה הַיּוֹם וַיָּבֹא הַבַּיְתָה לָשֶׁבֶת אִתָּם	29 But they were insistent with him, saying, “Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining.” And so he entered with them.
30 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הֵסֵב עִמָּהֶם וַיִּקַּח אֶת־הַלָּחֶם וַיְבָרֶךְ וַיִּבְצַע וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם	30 And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them.
31 וַתִּפָּקַחְנָה עֵינֵיהֶם וַיַּכִּירֻהוּ וְהוּא חָמַק עָבַר מֵעֵינֵיהֶם	31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes.
32 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ הֲלֹא הָיָה בֹעֵר לְבָבֵנוּ בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ בְּדַבְּרוֹ אֵלֵינוּ בַּדֶּרֶךְ וַיִּפְתַּח־לָנוּ אֵת הַכְּתוּבִים	32 And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us?”
33 וַיָּקוּמוּ בַּשָּׁעָה הַהִיא וַיָּשׁוּבוּ יְרוּשָׁלָיִם וַיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת־אַחַד הֶעָשָׂר וְאֵת־אֲשֶׁר אִתָּם נִקְהָלִים יָחַד	33 And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them,
34 הָאֹמְרִים אָכֵן קָם הָאָדוֹן מִן־הַמֵּתִים וְנִרְאָה אֶל־שִׁמְעוֹן	34 saying: “In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon.”
35 וַיְסַפְּרוּ גַם־הֵם אֵת אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה לָהֶם בַּדָּרֶךְ וְאֵיךְ הִכִּירֻהוּ בִּבְצִיעַת הַלָּחֶם	35 And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread.
36 עוֹדָם מְדַבְּרִים כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְהוּא יֵשׁוּעַ עָמַד בְּתוֹכָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם שָׁלוֹם לָכֶם	36 Then, while they were talking about these things, Jesus stood in their midst, And he said to them: “Peace be with you. It is I. Do not be afraid.”
37 וְהֵמָּה חַתּוּ וְנִבְעָתוּ וַיַּחְשְׁבוּ כִּי־רוּחַ רָאוּ	37 Yet truly, they were very disturbed and terrified, supposing that they saw a spirit.
38 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מַה־זֶּה אַתֶּם נִבְהָלִים וְעַל־מַה־זֶּה מַחֲשָׁבוֹת עֹלוֹת בִּלְבַבְכֶם	38 And he said to them: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up 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 See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and touch. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have.”
40 וְאַחֲרֵי אָמְרוֹ אֶת־זֹאת הֶרְאָה אֹתָם אֵת יָדָיו וְאֵת רַגְלָיו	40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
41 וְהֵם עוֹד לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ מִשִּׂמְחָה וְתָמָהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם הֲיֵשׁ־לָכֶם פֹּה דְּבַר־אֹכֶל	41 Then, while they were still in disbelief and in wonder out of joy, he said, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
42 וַיִּתְּנוּ לְפָנָיו חֵלֶק דָּג צָלוּי וּמְעַט צוּף דְּבָשׁ	42 And they offered him a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
43 וַיִּקַּח וַיֹּאכַל לְעֵינֵיהֶם	43 And when he had eaten these in their sight, taking up what was left, he gave it to them.
44 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֵלֶּה הֵם הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם בְּעוֹד הֱיוֹתִי עִמָּכֶם כִּי הִמָּלֵא יִמָּלֵא כָּל־הַכָּתוּב עָלַי בְּתוֹרַת משֶׁה וּבַנְּבִיאִים וּבַתְּהִלִּים	44 And he said to them: “These are the words that I spoke to you when I was still with you, because all things must be fulfilled which are written in the law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms about me.”
45 אָז פָּתַח אֶת־לְבָבָם לְהָבִין אֶת־הַכְּתוּבִים	45 Then he opened their mind, so that they might understand the Scriptures.
46 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם כֵּן כָּתוּב וְכֵן נִגְזָר אֲשֶׁר יְעֻנֶּה הַמָּשִׁיחַ וְיָקוּם מִן־הַמֵּתִים בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי	46 And he said to them: “For so it is written, and so it was necessary, for the Christ to suffer and to rise up from the dead on the third day,
47 וַאֲשֶׁר תִּקָּרֵא בִשְׁמוֹ תְּשׁוּבָה וּסְלִיחַת הַחֲטָאִים בְּכָל־הַגּוֹיִם הָחֵל מִירוּשָׁלָיִם	47 and, in his name, for repentance and the remission of sins to be preached, among all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 וְאַתֶּם עֵדִים בָּזֹאת	48 And you are witnesses of these things.
49 וְהִנְנִי שׁוֹלֵחַ עֲלֵיכֶם אֵת הַבְטָחַת אָבִי וְאַתֶּם שְׁבוּ בָּעִיר יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עַד כִּי־תִלְבְּשׁוּ עֹז מִמָּרוֹם	49 And I am sending the Promise of my Father upon you. But you must stay in the city, until such time as 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 Bethania. And lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
51 וַיְהִי בְּבָרְכוֹ אֹתָם וַיִּפָּרֵד מֵאִתָּם וַיִּנָּשֵׂא הַשָּׁמָיְמָה	51 And it happened that, while he was blessing them, he withdrew from them, and he was carried up into heaven.
52 וְהֵם הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ וַיָּשׁוּבוּ לִירוּשָׁלַיִם בְּשִׂמְחָה גְדוֹלָה	52 And worshiping, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
53 וַיִּהְיוּ תָמִיד בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ מְהַלְלִים וּמְבָרְכִים אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים אָמֵן	53 And they were always in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
