< Mark 3 >

1 [On another] ([Sabbath/Jewish day of rest]), Jesus entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) again. There was a man there whose hand was shriveled.
ישוע חזר לבית־הכנסת בכפר־נחום וראה שם איש שידו משותקת.
2 [Some men of the Pharisee sect] watched him carefully in order to see whether he would heal the man (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). They did this in order that [if he healed the man], they would accuse him of disobeying [their Jewish laws, because he worked] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
מאחר שהיום היה שבת, רצו מתנגדיו של ישוע לראות אם ירפא את האיש. הם החליטו שאם ישוע ירפא את האיש, יאסרו אותו.
3 Jesus said to the man whose hand was shriveled, “Stand up here in front of everyone!” [So the man stood up].
ישוע אמר לבעל היד המשותקת:”בוא ועמוד לפני כולם.“
4 Then Jesus said [to the Pharisees], “Do the laws [that God gave Moses] permit people to do good ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]), or do they permit people to do evil? Specifically, do his laws permit us to save a person’s life (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), or [do they permit us] to let him die [by refusing to help him]?” But they did not reply.
לאחר מכן הוא פנה אל הזוממים נגדו ושאל:”על־פי התורה האם עלינו לעשות בשבת מעשים טובים, או מעשים רעים? האם עלינו להציל נפשות בשבת, או לאבד אותן?“לא הייתה תשובה בפיהם.
5 He looked around at them angrily. He was very distressed that they were stubbornly [not wanting to help the man]. So he said to the man, “Reach out your hand!” When the man reached out his withered hand, his hand became all right again!
ישוע הביט בהם בכעס וצער, בגלל לב האבן שלהם, ואז פקד על האיש החולה:”הושט את ידך.“האיש הושיט את ידו והיא נרפאה כליל.
6 Then the Pharisees [decided to get rid of Jesus. So] after they left [the meeting house], they [immediately met with some of] the Jews who supported Herod [Antipas, who ruled Galilee district]. Together they planned how they could kill Jesus.
הפרושים מיהרו להתייעץ עם אנשי הורדוס כיצד להיפטר מישוע.
7 Jesus and his disciples left [that] town and went to an area further along [Galilee Lake in order to get away from the people]. But a great crowd of people followed him. They were people who came from Galilee [district],
ישוע ותלמידיו עזבו את בית־הכנסת והלכו לשפת הים. הקהל הרב שהלך אחריהם בא כמעט מכל קצות הארץ: מהגליל, מיהודה, מירושלים, מאדום, מעבר הירדן ואפילו מאזור צור וצידון. כל האנשים האלה הלכו אחרי ישוע מפני ששמעו על הנסים והנפלאות שחולל, וכמובן שרצו לראות אותו במו עיניהם.
8 from Jerusalem [city], from [other towns of] Judea [district], from Idumea [district], from [the region on] the [east] side of the Jordan [River], and from [the region] around Tyre and Sidon [cities]. This great crowd of people came to him because they heard about what he was doing.
9 Because he had healed many people, many [other] people who had various illnesses pushed forward in order that by touching him [they would come well]. So he told his disciples that they should get a small boat ready for him [to get in and teach from it]. He wanted to do this in order that the crowd would not crush him [when they pushed forward to touch him].
ישוע ביקש מתלמידיו להכין לו סירה, כדי שאם ינסה הקהל להידחק אליו ויאלץ אותו להיכנס למים, יוכל לעלות על הסירה.
באותו יום הוא ריפא חולים רבים מאוד, וכתוצאה מכך הלכו והתרבו החולים שנהרו אליו מכל עבר, וכל אחד ניסה לגעת בו כדי להירפא.
11 Whenever the evil spirits saw Jesus, [they caused the people whom they controlled] to fall down in front of Jesus [in recognition of Jesus’ power]. Then they exclaimed, “You are (the Son of God/the man who is also God)!”
כאשר נגעו אנשים אחוזי־שדים בישוע, הם נפלו לפניו וצעקו:”אתה הוא בן־האלוהים!“
12 He commanded the [evil spirits] strongly that they should not tell anyone who he was.
אולם ישוע ציווה עליהם לשתוק ולא לגלות את זהותו.
13 Jesus went [with many other people] up into the hills. After he picked out [from among them] the men whom he wanted [to accompany him], they came [close] to him.
ישוע עלה על אחד ההרים והזמין אליו אנשים מסוימים מבין הקהל.
14 He appointed twelve men in order that they might be with him and in order that he might send them out to preach. He called them apostles.
הוא בחר שנים־עשר איש שיהיו מלוויו הקבועים ושילכו ללמד את העם, ונתן להם סמכות לרפא חולים ולגרש שדים.
15 He also gave them power in order that they might expel evil spirits [from people].
16 These were the twelve men he appointed: Simon, to whom he gave the [new] name Peter; his [younger] brother Andrew;
אלה שמות השנים־עשר שישוע בחר: שמעון כֵּיפָא (שישוע כינה אותו”פטרוס“), יעקב ויוחנן בני־זבדי (שישוע כינה”בני־רעם“), ‎אַנְדְּרֵי, פיליפוס, בר־תלמי, מתי, תומא, יעקב בן־חלפי, תדי, שמעון (מחבורת הקנאים) ויהודה איש קריות (אשר מאוחר יותר הסגיר את ישוע).
17 James, [the son] of Zebedee, and John, the [younger] brother of James, to [both of] whom he added the [new] name, ‘Men who are like Thunder’. [because of their fiery zeal];
18 Philip; Bartholomew; Levi, whose other name was Matthew; Thomas; [another] James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus; [another] Simon, who was a [member of the party that wanted] to overthrow [the Roman government];
19 and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]). He was the one who [later] (betrayed Jesus/helped Jesus’ enemies seize him).
20 Jesus [along with his disciples] went to the house where he was staying [in Capernaum. Again a crowd gathered where he was]. There were many people crowding around him, so that he and his disciples had no time when they could eat or [when they could do anything else].
כאשר חזר ישוע לבית מארחיו, שוב המתין לו קהל שמילא את כל הבית, כך שישוע ותלמידיו לא יכלו להפסיק ולאכול.
21 After his relatives heard about this, they went to take him home [with them] because (some people/they) were saying that he was insane.
כשנודע לבני משפחתו על כך, הם באו לקחתו לביתם.”הוא יצא מדעתו!“קראו.
22 [Around that time] some men who taught the [Jewish] laws came down from Jerusalem [city. They heard that Jesus was expelling demons]. So they were telling [people], “Beelzebub, who rules the evil spirits, controls him. He is the one who enables this man to expel evil spirits [from people]!”
מורי הלכה מירושלים באו לשם ואמרו:”אתם יודעים מדוע הוא יכול לגרש שדים? מפני שבעל־זבול, שר השדים, שוכן בתוכו!“
23 Jesus summoned those men. [Then he spoke to them] in parables [to enable them to realize that Satan would not oppose his own evil spirits. He also wanted them to realize that by expelling evil spirits, he was demonstrating that he was much more powerful than Satan]. So he said, “([It is ridiculous] to suggest that Satan would expel his own [evil spirits]!/Why would Satan expel his own [evil spirits]?) [RHQ]
ישוע קיבץ אותם סביבו ודיבר אליהם במשלים.”כיצד יכול השטן לגרש את השטן?“שאל.
24 If [people who live in the same] country are fighting one another, they will cease to be a single group under one ruler.
ממלכה מפולגת לא תחזיק מעמד ותתמוטט.
25 And if [people who live in the same] house fight each other, they will certainly not remain [as one family].
משפחה שיש בה חילוקי דעות ופילוגים – תיהרס.
26 Similarly, if Satan and his [evil spirits] were fighting one another, instead of remaining strong, he would become powerless.
אם השטן נלחם נגד עצמו, מה יוכל להשיג?
27 Contrary to [what you say about me], someone can enter the house of a strong man [like Satan] and carry off his possessions only if he first ties up the strong man. Then [and only then] will he [be able to] steal the things in that man’s house.”
איש אינו יכול לשדוד את מלכות השטן לפני שיכבול אותו תחילה. לאחר שיכבול את השטן, יוכל לשדוד את רכושו.
28 [Jesus also said], “Consider this carefully! People may sin in many ways and they may speak evilly about God, but [if] they [then are sorry and ask God to] forgive [them], [God] will forgive them for doing that.
”אני מזהיר אתכם, “המשיך ישוע,”כל החטאים וגידופים ייסלחו לבני האדם.
29 But if anyone speaks evil words about what the Holy Spirit [does], [God] will never forgive that. That person’s guilt will remain with him forever.” (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
רק חטא אחד לעולם לא ייסלח – גידוף רוח הקודש.“ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
30 [Jesus told them that] because [they refused to admit that the Holy Spirit was helping him to expel demons. Instead], they were saying, “An evil spirit is controlling him!”
ישוע מצא לנכון להזהיר אותם, שכן טענו שהוא חולל נסים בכוחו של השטן (במקום שיודו שהוא חולל נסים בכוחו של רוח הקודש).
31 Jesus’ mother and [younger] siblings arrived. While they stood outside, they sent [someone inside] in order to call him [outside].
בינתיים באו אמו ואחיו של ישוע אל הבית שבו לימד. הם שלחו מישהו לקרוא לישוע החוצה, כי רצו לדבר איתו.”אמך ואחיך מחכים לך בחוץ; הם רוצים לדבר אתך“, אמר לו מישהו.
32 A crowd was sitting around Jesus. One of them said to him, “Listen/Hey, your mother and your [younger] brothers and sisters are outside, and they are wanting (to see/to talk with) you!”
33 Jesus replied to them, “([I will tell you something about] my mother and my brothers.[/Do you know whom I consider to be like] my mother and my brothers?)” [RHQ]
”מי היא אמי?“”מי הם אחי?“קרא ישוע.
34 After he looked around at [the disciples] who were sitting around him [in a circle], he said, “Look here! I [love these men as much as] I [love] my mother and my brothers.
הוא הביט באנשים סביבו והכריז:”הנה אמי ואחי!
35 Those who habitually do what God wants are [as dear to me] [MET] as my brother, my sister, or my mother!”
כל השומע בקול אלוהים הוא אחי, אחותי ואמי.“
