STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 אָז נָשָׂא הָרוּחַ אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַמִּדְבָּרָה לְמַעַן יְנַסֵּהוּ הַשָּׂטָן	1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil.
2 וַיְהִי אַחֲרֵי צוּמוֹ אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לָיְלָה וַיִּרְעָב	2 He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry,
3 וַיִּגַּשׁ אֵלָיו הַמְנַסֶּה וַיֹּאמַר אִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה אֱמֹר לָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה וְתִהְיֶינָה לְלָחֶם	3 and the tester came and said to him, 'If you are Son of God, tel these stones to turn into loaves.'
4 וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמַר הֵן כָּתוּב לֹא עַל־הַלֶּחֶם לְבַדּוֹ יִחְיֶה הָאָדָם כִּי עַל־כָּל־מוֹצָא פִי־יְהוָֹה	4 But he replied, 'Scripture says: Human beings live not on bread alone but on every word that comesfrom the mouth of God.'
5 וַיִּשָּׂאֵהוּ הַשָּׂטָן אֶל־עִיר הַקֹּדֶשׁ וַיַּעֲמִידֵהוּ עַל־פִּנַּת בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ	5 The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet of the Temple.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִם בֶּן־הָאֱלֹהִים אַתָּה הַשְׁלֵךְ עַצְמְךָ לְמָטָּה כִּי כָתוּב כִּי מַלְאָכָיו יְצַוֶּה־לָּךְ וְעַל־כַּפַּיִם יִשָּׂאוּנְךָ פֶּן־תִּגֹּף בָּאֶבֶן רַגְלֶךָ	6 'If you are Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down; for scripture says: He has given his angels ordersabout you, and they will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.'
7 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ וְעוֹד כָּתוּב לֹא תְנַסֶּה אֵת יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ	7 Jesus said to him, 'Scripture also says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'
8 וַיּוֹסֶף הַשָּׂטָן וַיִּשָּׂאֵהוּ אֶל־הַר גָּבֹהַּ מְאֹד וַיַּרְאֵהוּ אֶת־כָּל מַמְלְכוֹת תֵּבֵל וּכְבוֹדָן	8 Next, taking him to a very high mountain, the devil showed him al the kingdoms of the world and theirsplendour.
9 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אֶת־כֹּל־זֹאת לְךָ אֶתְּנֶּנָּה אִם־תִּקֹּד וְתִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לִי	9 And he said to him, 'I wil give you al these, if you fal at my feet and do me homage.'
10 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ סוּר מִמֶּנִּי הַשָּׂטָן כִּי כָתוּב לַיהוָֹה אֱלֹהֶיךָ תִּשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְאוֹתוֹ לְבַדּוֹ תַּעֲבֹד	10 Then Jesus replied, 'Away with you, Satan! For scripture says: The Lord your God is the one to whomyou must do homage, him alone you must serve.'
11 וַיִּרֶף מִמֶּנּוּ הַשָּׂטָן וְהִנֵּה נִגְּשׁוּ אֵלָיו מַלְאָכִים וַיְשָׁרְתוּהוּ	11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.
12 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעוֹ כִּי הִסְגִּירוּ אֶת־יוֹחָנָן וַיֵּלֶךְ־לוֹ אֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל	12 Hearing that John had been arrested he withdrew to Galilee,
13 וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת־נְצֶרֶת וַיָּבֹא וַיֵּשֶׁב בִּכְפַר־נַחוּם אֲשֶׁר עַל־שְׂפַת הַיָּם בִּגְבוּל זְבֻלוּן וְנַפְתָּלִי	13 and leaving Nazara he went and settled in Capernaum, beside the lake, on the borders of Zebulun andNaphtali.
14 לְמַלֹּאת הַנֶּאֱמָר עַל־פִּי יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר	14 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:
15 אַרְצָה זְבֻלוּן וְאַרְצָה נַפְתָּלִי דֶּרֶךְ הַיָּם עֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן גְּלִיל הַגּוֹיִם	15 Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali! Way of the sea beyond Jordan. Galilee of the nations!
16 הָעָם הַהֹלְכִים בַּחשֶׁךְ רָאוּ אוֹר גָּדוֹל וְישְׁבֵי בְּאֶרֶץ צַלְמָוֶת אוֹר נָגַהּ עֲלֵיהֶם	16 The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a country of shadowdark as death a light has dawned.
17 מִן־הָעֵת הַהִיא הֵחֵל יֵשׁוּעַ לִקְרֹא קָרוֹא וְאָמוֹר שׁוּבוּ כִּי הִגִּיעָה מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמָיִם	17 From then onwards Jesus began his proclamation with the message, 'Repent, for the kingdom ofHeaven is close at hand.'
18 וּבְהִתְהַלֵּךְ יֵשׁוּעַ עַל־יַד יַם־הַגָּלִיל וַיַּרְא שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אֶת־שִׁמְעוֹן הַנִּקְרָא פֶטְרוֹס וְאֶת אַנְדְּרַי אָחִיו וְהֵמָּה מַשְׁלִיכִים מְצוֹדָה בַּיָּם כִּי דַיָּגִים הָיוּ	18 As he was walking by the Lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was cal ed Peter, and hisbrother Andrew; they were making a cast into the lake with their net, for they were fishermen.
19 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם לְכוּ אַחֲרָי וַאֲשִׂימְכֶם לְדַיָּגֵי אֲנָשִׁים	19 And he said to them, 'Come after me and I wil make you fishers of people.'
20 וַיַּעַזְבוּ מְהֵרָה אֵת הַמִּכְמֹרוֹת וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו	20 And at once they left their nets and followed him.
21 וַיְהִי כְּעָבְרוֹ מִשָּׁם וַיַּרְא שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים אַחִים אֲחֵרִים אֶת־יַעֲקֹב בֶּן־זַבְדַּי וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן אָחִיו בָּאֳנִיָּה עִם־זַבְדַּי אֲבִיהֶם מְתַקְּנִים אֶת־מִכְמְרוֹתָם וַיִּקְרָא אֲלֵיהֶם	21 Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John;they were in their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he cal ed them.
22 וַיַּעַזְבוּ מִיָּד אֶת־הָאֳנִיָּה וְאֶת־אֲבִיהֶם וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו	22 And at once, leaving the boat and their father, they fol owed him.
23 וַיָּסָב יֵשׁוּעַ בְּכָל־הַגָּלִיל וַיְלַמֵּד בְּבָתֵּי כְנֵסִיּוֹתֵיהֶם וַיְבַשֵּׂר בְּשׂוֹרַת הַמַּלְכוּת וַיְרַפֵּא כָּל־מַחֲלָה וְכָל־מַדְוֶה בָּעָם	23 He went round the whole of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of thekingdom and curing al kinds of disease and il ness among the people.
24 וַיֵּצֵא שִׁמְעוֹ בְּכָל־אֶרֶץ סוּרְיָא וַיָּבִיאוּ אֵלָיו אֵת כָּל־הַחוֹלִים הַמְעֻנִּים בְּכָל־חֳלָיִם וּמַכְאוֹבִים וַאֲחוּזֵי שֵׁדִים וּמֻכֵּי יָרֵחַ וּנְכֵי אֵבָרִים וַיִּרְפָּאֵם	24 His fame spread throughout Syria, and those who were suffering from diseases and painful complaintsof one kind or another, the possessed, epileptics, the paralysed, were all brought to him, and he cured them.
25 וַיֵּלְכוּ אַחֲרָיו הֲמֹנִים הֲמֹנִים מִן־הַגָּלִיל וּמִן־עֶשֶׂר הֶעָרִים וּמִירוּשָׁלַיִם וִיהוּדָה וּמֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּן	25 Large crowds fol owed him, coming from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judaea and Transjordan.
