1 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר נוֹדַע לָאָדוֹן כִּי שָׁמְעוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁוּעַ הֶעֱמִיד וְהִטְבִּיל תַּלְמִידִים הַרְבֵּה מִיּוֹחָנָן | 1 When Jesus therefore understood that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus maketh more disciples, and baptizeth more than John, |
2 וְאוּלָם יֵשׁוּעַ הוּא לֹא הִטְבִּיל כִּי אִם־תַּלְמִידָיו | 2 (Though Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples,) |
3 וַיַּעֲזֹב אֶת־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וַיֵּלֶךְ שֵׁנִית הַגָּלִילָה | 3 He left Judea, and went again into Galilee. |
4 וַיְהִי־לוֹ לַעֲבֹר בְּאֶרֶץ שֹׁמְרוֹן | 4 And he was of necessity to pass through Samaria. |
5 וַיָּבֹא לְעִיר מֵעָרֵי שֹׁמְרוֹן וּשְׁמָהּ סוּכַר הִיא מִמּוּל חֶלְקַת הַשָּׂדֶה אֲשֶׁר־נְתָנָהּ יַעֲקֹב לִבְנוֹ לְיוֹסֵף | 5 He cometh therefore to a city of Samaria, which is called Sichar, near the land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph. |
6 וְשָׁם בְּאֵר יַעֲקֹב וְיֵשׁוּעַ הָיָה עָיֵף מִן־הַדֶּרֶךְ וַיֵּשֶׁב־לוֹ עַל־הַבְּאֵר וְהָעֵת כַּשָּׁעָה הַשִּׁשִּׁית | 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well. It was about the sixth hour. |
7 וַתָּבֹא אִשָּׁה מִשֹּׁמְרוֹן לִשְׁאָב־מָיִם וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ תְּנִי־נָא לִי לִשְׁתּוֹת | 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria, to draw water. Jesus saith to her: Give me to drink. |
8 כִּי תַלְמִידָיו הָלְכוּ הָעִירָה לִקְנוֹת אֹכֶל | 8 For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats. |
9 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִשָּׁה הַשֹּׁמְרוֹנִית הֵן יְהוּדִי אַתָּה וְאֵיכָכָה תִּשְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי לִשְׁתּוֹת וְאָנֹכִי אִשָּׁה שֹׁמְרוֹנִית כִּי־לֹא יִתְעָרְבוּ הַיְּהוּדִים עִם־הַשֹּׁמְרוֹנִים | 9 Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew, ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans. |
10 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ לוּ יָדַעַתְּ אֶת־מַתַּת אֱלֹהִים וּמִי הוּא הָאֹמֵר אֵלַיִךְ תְּנִי־נָא לִי לִשְׁתּוֹת כִּי עַתָּה שָׁאַלְתְּ מִמֶּנּוּ וְנָתַן לָךְ מַיִם חַיִּים | 10 Jesus answered, and said to her: If thou didst know the gift of God, and who he is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou perhaps wouldst have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. |
11 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִשָּׁה אֲדֹנִי הֵן אֵין־לְךָ כְלִי לִשְׁאָב־בּוֹ וְהַבְּאֵר עֲמֻקָּה וּמֵאַיִן לְךָ אֵפוֹא מַיִם חַיִּים | 11 The woman saith to him: Sir, thou hast nothing wherein to draw, and the well is deep; from whence then hast thou living water? |
12 הַאַתָּה גָדוֹל מִיַּעֲקֹב אָבִינוּ אֲשֶׁר נָתַן־לָנוּ אֶת־הַבְּאֵר הַזֹּאת וַיֵּשְׁתְּ מִמֶּנָּה הוּא וּבָנָיו וּבְעִירוֹ | 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? |
13 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ כָּל־הַשֹּׁתֶה מִן־הַמַּיִם הָאֵלֶּה יָשׁוּב וְיִצְמָא | 13 Jesus answered, and said to her: Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again; but he that shall drink of the water that I will give him, shall not thirst for ever: |
14 וַאֲשֶׁר יִשְׁתֶּה מִן־הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי נֹתֵן לוֹ לֹא יִצְמָא לְעוֹלָם כִּי הַמַּיִם אֲשֶׁר אֶתֶּן־לוֹ יִהְיוּ בְקִרְבּוֹ לִמְקוֹר מַיִם נֹבְעִים לְחַיֵּי הָעוֹלָמִים | 14 But the water that I will give him, shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting. |
15 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִשָּׁה אֲדֹנִי תְּנָה־לִּי הַמַּיִם הָהֵם לְמַעַן לֹא־אֶצְמָא עוֹד וְלֹא אוֹסִיף לָבוֹא הֵנָּה לִשְׁאֹב | 15 The woman saith to him: Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw. |
16 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ לְכִי וְקִרְאִי לְאִישֵׁךְ וְשׁוּבִי הֲלוֹם | 16 Jesus saith to her: Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered, and said: I have no husband. Jesus said to her: Thou hast said well, I have no husband: |
17 וַתַּעַן הָאִשָּׁה וַתֹּאמֶר אֵין לִי אִישׁ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ כֵּן דִּבַּרְתְּ אֵין לִי אִישׁ | 17 dummy verses inserted by amos |
18 כִּי בְּעָלִים חֲמִשָּׁה הָיוּ לָךְ וַאֲשֶׁר לָךְ עַתָּה אֵינֶנּוּ בַּעְלֵךְ לָכֵן אֱמֶת הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְתְּ | 18 For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. This thou hast said truly. |
19 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִשָּׁה אֲדֹנִי רֹאָה אָנֹכִי כִּי נָבִיא אַתָּה | 19 The woman saith to him: Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. |
20 אֲבוֹתֵינוּ הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ בָּהָר הַזֶּה וְאַתֶּם אֹמְרִים כִּי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הִיא הַמָּקוֹם הַנִּבְחָר לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת שָׁמָּה | 20 Our fathers adored on this mountain, and you say, that at Jerusalem is the place where men must adore. |
21 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ אִשָּׁה הַאֲמִינִי לִי כִּי תָבוֹא שָׁעָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־בָהָר הַזֶּה אַף־לֹא בִירוּשָׁלַיִם תִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָאָב | 21 Jesus saith to her: Woman, believe me, that the hour cometh, when you shall neither on this mountain, not in Jerusalem, adore the Father. |
22 אַתֶּם מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים אֶל־אֲשֶׁר לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם וַאֲנַחְנוּ מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים אֶל־אֲשֶׁר יָדָעְנוּ כִּי הַיְשׁוּעָה מִן־הַיְּהוּדִים הִיא | 22 You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know; for salvation is of the Jews. |
23 אוּלָם תָּבוֹא שָׁעָה וְעַתָּה הִיא אֲשֶׁר עֹבְדֵי אֵל־הָאֲמִתִּים יִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לָאָב בְּרוּחַ וּבֶאֱמֶת כִּי בְּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים כָּאֵלֶּה חָפֵץ הָאָב | 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him. |
24 הָאֱלֹהִים רוּחַ הוּא וְהַמִּשְׁתַּחֲוִים לוֹ צְרִיכִים לְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֺת בְּרוּחַ וּבֶאֱמֶת | 24 God is a spirit; and they that adore him, must adore him in spirit and in truth. |
25 וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִשָּׁה יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־יָבֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנִּקְרָא כְּרִיסְטוֹס הוּא בְּבֹאוֹ יַגִּיד לָנוּ אֶת־כֹּל | 25 The woman saith to him: I know that the Messias cometh (who is called Christ); therefore, when he is come, he will tell us all things. |
26 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ אֲנִי הוּא הַמְדַבֵּר אֵלָיִךְ | 26 Jesus saith to her: I am he, who am speaking with thee. |
27 וַיְהִי הוּא מְדַבֵּר כָּכָה וְתַלְמִידָיו בָּאוּ וַיִּתְמְהוּ עַל־דַּבְּרוֹ עִם־אִשָּׁה אַךְ לֹא אָמַר־לוֹ אִישׁ מַה־זֶּה תִשְׁאַל אוֹ מַה־תְּדַבֵּר עִמָּהּ | 27 And immediately his disciples came; and they wondered that he talked with the woman. Yet no man said: What seekest thou? or, why talkest thou with her? |
28 וַתַּעֲזֹב הָאִשָּׁה אֶת־כַּדָּהּ וַתֵּלֶךְ הָעִירָה וַתֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָאֲנָשִׁים | 28 The woman therefore left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men there: |
29 בֹּאוּ וּרְאוּ אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר הִגִּיד לִי כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי הֲכִי־זֶה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ | 29 Come, and see a man who has told me all things whatsoever I have done. Is not he the Christ? |
30 וַיֵּצְאוּ מִן־הָעִיר וַיָּבֹאוּ אֵלָיו | 30 They went therefore out of the city, and came unto him. |
31 טֶרֶם יָבֹאוּ וְתַלְמִידָיו בִּקְשׁוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לֵאמֹר אֱכֹל־נָא אֲדֹנִי | 31 In the mean time the disciples prayed him, saying: Rabbi, eat. |
32 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֶשׁ־לִי אֹכֶל לֶאֱכֹל אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם | 32 But he said to them: I have meat to eat, which you know not. |
33 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַתַּלְמִידִים אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ הֲכִי הֵבִיא לוֹ אִישׁ לֶאֱכֹל | 33 The disciples therefore said one to another: Hath any man brought him to eat? |
34 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ מַאֲכָלִי הוּא לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹן שֹׁלְחִי וּלְהַשְׁלִים מַעֲשֵׂהוּ | 34 Jesus saith to them: My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, that I may perfect his work. |
35 הֲלֹא אַתֶּם תֹּאמְרוּ כִּי־עוֹד אַרְבָּעָה חֳדָשִׁים וְהַקָּצִיר בָּא הִנֵּה אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם שְׂאוּ עֵינֵיכֶם וּרְאוּ הַשָּׂדוֹת כִּי־כְבָר הִלְבִּינוּ לַקָּצִיר | 35 Do you not say, There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries; for they are white already to harvest. |
36 וְהַקּוֹצֵר יִקַּח שְׂכָרוֹ וְיֶאֱסֹף תְּבוּאָה לְחַיֵּי עוֹלָמִים לְמַעַן יִשְׂמְחוּ יַחְדָּו גַּם הַזֹּרֵעַ גַּם הַקּוֹצֵר | 36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life everlasting: that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, may rejoice together. |
37 כִּי בָזֹאת אֱמֶת הַמָּשָׁל כִּי זֶה זֹרֵעַ וְאַחֵר יִקְצֹר | 37 For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth. |
38 אָנֹכִי שָׁלַחְתִּי אֶתְכֶם לִקְצֹר אֶת־אֲשֶׁר לֹא עֲמַלְתֶּם בּוֹ וַאֲחֵרִים עָמְלוּ וְאַתֶּם נִכְנַסְתֶּם בַּעֲמָלָם | 38 I have sent you to reap that in which you did not labour: others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours. |
39 וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בוֹ שֹׁמְרוֹנִים רַבִּים מִן־הָעִיר הַהִיא עַל־דְּבַר הָאִשָּׁה אֲשֶׁר הֵעִידָה לֵאמֹר הוּא הִגִּיד לִי אֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשִׂיתִי | 39 Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done. |
40 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּאוּ אֵלָיו הַשֹּׁמְרוֹנִים וַיִּשְׁאֲלוּ מִמֶּנּוּ לָשֶׁבֶת אִתָּם וַיֵּשֶׁב שָׁם יוֹמָיִם | 40 So when the Samaritans were come to him, they desired that he would tarry there. And he abode there two days. |
41 וְעוֹד רַבִּים מֵהֵמָּה הֶאֱמִינוּ בוֹ בַּעֲבוּר דְּבָרוֹ | 41 And many more believed in him because of his own word. |
42 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־הָאִשָּׁה מֵעַתָּה לֹא־בַעֲבוּר מַאֲמָרֵךְ נַאֲמִין כִּי בְאָזְנֵינוּ שָׁמַעְנוּ וַנֵּדַע כִּי־אָמְנָם זֶה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ מוֹשִׁיעַ הָעוֹלָם | 42 And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. |
43 וַיְהִי מִקֵּץ שְׁנֵי הַיָּמִים וַיֵּצֵא מִשָּׁם לָלֶכֶת הַגָּלִילָה | 43 Now after two days, he departed thence, and went into Galilee. |
44 אַף כִּי הוּא יֵשׁוּעַ הֵעִיד כִּי נָבִיא בְּאֶרֶץ מוֹלַדְתּוֹ אֵינֶנּוּ נִכְבָּד | 44 For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. |
45 וַיְהִי הוּא בָא אֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל וַיַּאַסְפֻהוּ אַנְשֵׁי הַגָּלִיל כִּי רָאוּ אֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בִירוּשָׁלַיִם בִּימֵי הֶחָג כִּי גַם־הֵם עָלוּ לָחֹג אֶת־הֶחָג | 45 And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day; for they also went to the festival day. |
46 וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ עוֹד הַפַּעַם אֶל־קָנָה אֲשֶׁר בַּגָּלִיל מְקוֹם שֹוּמוֹ הַמַּיִם לְיָיִן וְאִישׁ הָיָה מֵעַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וּבְנוֹ חֹלֶה בִּכְפַר־נַחוּם | 46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum. |
47 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעוֹ כִּי־בָא יֵשׁוּעַ מִיהוּדָה לְאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל וַיֵּלֶךְ אֵלָיו וַיִּשְׁאַל מֵאִתּוֹ לָרֶדֶת וּלְרַפֵּא אֶת־בְּנוֹ כִּי קָרַב לָמוּת | 47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. |
48 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ אִם־לֹא תִרְאוּ אֹתוֹת וּמוֹפְתִים לֹא תַאֲמִינוּ | 48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not. |
49 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר מֵעַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲדֹנִי רְדָה־נָּא בְּטֶרֶם יָמוּת בְּנִי | 49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die. |
50 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ לֶךְ־לְךָ בִּנְךָ חָי וְהָאִישׁ הֶאֱמִין לַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר אֵלָיו יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֵּלַךְ | 50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way. |
51 וַיְהִי בְרִדְתּוֹ וַיִּפְגְּעוּ־בוֹ עֲבָדָיו וַיְבַשְּׂרוּ אֹתוֹ כִּי־חַי בְּנוֹ | 51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived. |
52 וַיִּדְרשׁ מֵאִתָּם אֶת־הַשָּׁעָה אֲשֶׁר־בָּהּ רָוַח לוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו תְּמוֹל בַּשָּׁעָה הַשְּׁבִיעִית עֲזָבַתּוּ הַקַּדָּחַת | 52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him. |
53 וַיֵּדַע אָבִיו כִּי הָיְתָה הַשָּׁעָה אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר־לוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ בִּנְךָ חָי וַיַּאֲמֵן הוּא וְכָל־בֵּיתוֹ | 53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house. |
54 זֶה הוּא הָאוֹת הַשֵּׁנִי אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יֵשׁוּעַ בְּבֹאוֹ מִיהוּדָה לְאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל | 54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. |
