(HebDelitzsch)
בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם בָּא יוֹחָנָן הַמַּטְבִּיל וַיְהִי קֹרֵא בְמִדְבַּר יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר׃
Now ain
those days bJohn the
Baptist *
▼came,
▼▼Or
proclaiming as a herald preaching in the
ewilderness of
Judea,
saying,
(HebDelitzsch)
שׁוּבוּ כִּי מַלְכוּת הַשָּׁמַיִם הִגִּיעָה׃
“
fRepent, for
gthe
kingdom of
heaven ▼is at hand.”
(HebDelitzsch)
הֲלֹא־זֶה הוּא אֲשֶׁר נִבָּא עָלָיו יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא לֵאמֹר קוֹל קוֹרֵא בַּמִּדְבָּר פַּנּוּ דֶּרֶךְ יְהוָֹה יַשְּׁרוּ מְסִלּוֹתָיו׃
For
this is the
ione
referred to
▼by
Isaiah the
prophet when he
said,
“
kT
he voice of one ▼calling ▼▼Or
out, Prepare in the wilderness the way out in the wilderness,
‘
nP
repare the way of the Lord,
Make H
is paths straight!’”
(HebDelitzsch)
וְהוּא יוֹחָנָן לְבוּשׁוֹ שְׂעַר גְּמַלִּים וְאֵזוֹר עוֹר בְּמָתְנָיו וּמַאֲכָלוֹ חֲגָבִים וּדְבַשׁ הַיָּעַר׃
Now John himself had ▼ pa
garment of
camel’s hair and a
leather belt around his
waist; and his
food was
qlocusts and
wild honey.
(HebDelitzsch)
וַיֵּצְאוּ אֵלָיו ישְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלַיִם וְכָל־יְהוּדָה וְכָל־כִּכַּר הַיַּרְדֵּן׃
At that time Jerusalem rwas
going out to him, and
all Judea and
all sthe
region around the
Jordan;
(HebDelitzsch)
וַיִּטָּבְלוּ עַל־יָדוֹ בַּיַּרְדֵּן מִתְוַדִּים אֶת־חַטֹּאתָם׃
and they were being
tbaptized by him in the
Jordan River, as they
confessed their
sins.
(HebDelitzsch)
וַיְהִי כִרְאוֹתוֹ רַבִּים מִן־הַפְּרוּשִׁים וְהַצַּדּוּקִים נִגָּשִׁים לִטְבִילָתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם יַלְדֵי הַצִּפְעוֹנִים מִי הִשְׂכִּיל אֶתְכֶם לְהִמָּלֵט מִןִ־הַקֶּצֶף הַבָּא׃
But when he
saw many of the
uPharisees and
vSadducees coming for
▼baptism, he
said to them, “You
▼ yoffspring of
vipers,
who warned you to
flee from
zthe
wrath to come?
(HebDelitzsch)
לָכֵן עֲשֹוּ פְרִי הָרָאוּי לִתְשׁוּבָה׃
aaTherefore produce fruit abconsistent with
repentance;
(HebDelitzsch)
וְאַל־תַּחְשְׁבוּ בִלְבַבְכֶם לֵאמֹר אַבְרָהָם הוּא אָבִינוּ כִּי אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כִּי מִן־הָאֲבָנִים הָאֵלֶּה יָכוֹל הָאֱלֹהִים לְהָקִים בָּנִים לְאַבְרָהָם׃
and do not
assume that you can
say to
yourselves, ‘
acWe
have Abraham as our father’; for I
tell you that
God is
able, from
these stones, to
raise up children for
Abraham.
(HebDelitzsch)
וּכְבָר הוּשַׂם הַגַּרְזֶן עַל־שֹׁרֶשׁ הָעֵצִים וְהִנֵּה כָל־עֵץ אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנּוּ עֹשֶׂה פְּרִי טוֹב יִגָּדַע וְיֻשְׁלַךְ בָּאֵשׁ׃
And the
adaxe is
already laid at the
root of the
trees;
therefore,
aeevery tree that does not
bear good fruit is being
cut down and
thrown into the
fire.
(HebDelitzsch)
הֵן אָנֹכִי טוֹבֵל אֶתְכֶם בַּמַּיִם לִתְשׁוּבָה וְהַבָּא אַחֲרַי חָזָק הוּא מִמֶּנִּי אֲשֶׁר אֵינֶנִי רָאוּי לָשֵׂאת נְעָלָיו וְהוּא יִטְבֹּל אֶתְכֶם בְּרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וּבָאֵשׁ׃
“As for me,
afI
baptize you
▼▼The Gr here can be translated
in, with, or
by with
water for
repentance, but He who is
coming after me is
mightier than I, and I
am not
fit to
remove His
sandals;
ahHe will
baptize you
▼▼The Gr here can be translated
in, with, or
by with the
Holy Spirit and
fire.
(HebDelitzsch)
אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ הַמִּזְרָה וְזָרָה אֶת־גָּרְנוֹ וְאָסַף אֶת־דְּגָנוֹ אֶל־אוֹצָרוֹ וְאֶת־הַמֹּץ יִשְׂרְפֶנּוּ בָאֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִכְבֶּה׃
His
ajwinnowing fork is in His
hand, and He will
thoroughly clear His
threshing floor; and He will
akgather His
wheat into the
barn, but He will
burn up the
alchaff with
amunquenchable fire.”
(HebDelitzsch)
וַיָּבֹא יֵשׁוּעַ מִן־הַגָּלִיל הַיַּרְדֵּנָה אֶל־יוֹחָנָן לְהִטָּבֵל עַל־יָדוֹ׃
anThen Jesus *arrived aofrom
Galilee at the
Jordan,
coming to
John to be
baptized by him.
(HebDelitzsch)
וְיוֹחָנָן חָשַׂךְ אוֹתוֹ לֵאמֹר אֲנִי צָרִיךְ לְהִטָּבֵל עַל־יָדֶךָ וְאַתָּה בָּא אֵלָי׃
But
John tried to
prevent Him,
saying, “I
have the need to be
baptized by You, and
yet You are
coming to me?”
(HebDelitzsch)
וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַנִּיחָה לִּי כִּי כֵן נָאֲוָה לָּנוּ לְמַלֵּא כָּל־הַצְּדָקָה וַיַּנַּח לוֹ׃
But
Jesus,
answering,
said to him,
“Allow it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us apto fulfill all righteousness.” Then he *
allowed Him.
(HebDelitzsch)
וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר נִטְבַּל יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְמַהֵר לַעֲלוֹת מִן־הַמָּיִם וְהִנֵּה נִפְתְּחוּ־לוֹ הַשָּׁמַיִם וַיַּרְא אֶת־רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים יוֹרֶדֶת כְּיוֹנָה וְנָחָה עָלָיו׃
After He was
baptized,
Jesus came up immediately from the
water; and
behold, the
heavens were
opened, and
▼ arhe
saw the
Spirit of
God descending as a
dove and ▼settling on Him,
(HebDelitzsch)
וְהִנֵּה קוֹל מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם אוֹמֵר זֶה בְּנִי יְדִידִי אֲשֶׁר־רָצְתָה נַפְשִׁי בּוֹ׃
and
behold, a
voice from the
heavens said, “
atThis is
▼My
beloved Son, with
whom I
am well pleased.”
