Πῶς οὖν ἐπικαλέσονται εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἐπίστευσαν πῶς δὲ πιστεύσουσιν οὗ οὐκ ἤκουσαν πῶς δὲ ἀκούσουσιν χωρὶς κηρύσσοντος
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
וָֽאֲחַשְּׁבָה לָדַעַת זֹאת עָמָל הוּא בְעֵינָֽי׃
When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
וְשָׁמְעוּ בַיּוֹם-הַהוּא הַחֵרְשִׁים דִּבְרֵי-סֵפֶר וּמֵאֹפֶל וּמֵחֹשֶׁךְ עֵינֵי עִוְרִים תִּרְאֶֽינָה׃
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
טוֹב-וְיָשָׁר יְהוָה עַל-כֵּן יוֹרֶה חַטָּאִים בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
כִּי בַעַר אָנֹכִי מֵאִישׁ וְלֹֽא-בִינַת אָדָם לִֽי׃
Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.
καὶ εἶπεν Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐὰν μὴ στραφῆτε καὶ γένησθε ὡς τὰ παιδία οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
εἰ δέ τις δοκεῖ εἰδέναι τι οὐδέπω οὐδὲν ἔγνωκεν καθὼς δεῖ γνῶναι·
And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
ἢ ἀφ' ὑμῶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν ἢ εἰς ὑμᾶς μόνους κατήντησεν
What? came the word of out God from you? or came it unto you only?
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו לֹֽא-לִבִּי הָלַךְ כַּֽאֲשֶׁר הָֽפַךְ-אִישׁ מֵעַל מֶרְכַּבְתּוֹ לִקְרָאתֶךָ הַעֵת לָקַחַת אֶת-הַכֶּסֶף וְלָקַחַת בְּגָדִים וְזֵיתִים וּכְרָמִים וְצֹאן וּבָקָר וַֽעֲבָדִים וּשְׁפָחֽוֹת׃
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
ὁ δὲ πλούσιος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτοῦ ὅτι ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου παρελεύσεται
But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
וַיֵּלֶךְ מִשָּׁם וַיִּמְצָא אֶת-יְהֽוֹנָדָב בֶּן-רֵכָב לִקְרָאתוֹ וַֽיְבָרְכֵהוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲיֵשׁ אֶת-לְבָֽבְךָ יָשָׁר כַּֽאֲשֶׁר לְבָבִי עִם-לְבָבֶךָ וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֽוֹנָדָב יֵשׁ וָיֵשׁ תְּנָה אֶת-יָדֶךָ וַיִּתֵּן יָדוֹ וַיַּֽעֲלֵהוּ אֵלָיו אֶל-הַמֶּרְכָּבָֽה׃
And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
וַיָּבֹא נַֽעֲמָן (בסוסו) בְּסוּסָיו וּבְרִכְבּוֹ וַיַּֽעֲמֹד פֶּֽתַח-הַבַּיִת לֶֽאֱלִישָֽׁע׃
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
διὸ ἀποθέμενοι πᾶσαν ῥυπαρίαν καὶ περισσείαν κακίας ἐν πρᾳΰτητι δέξασθε τὸν ἔμφυτον λόγον τὸν δυνάμενον σῶσαι τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Ἀποθέμενοι οὖν πᾶσαν κακίαν καὶ πάντα δόλον καὶ ὑποκρίσεις καὶ φθόνους καὶ πάσας καταλαλιάς
Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
וְהָיָה-שָׁם מַסְלוּל וָדֶרֶךְ וְדֶרֶךְ הַקֹּדֶשׁ יִקָּרֵא לָהּ לֹֽא-יַעַבְרֶנּוּ טָמֵא וְהוּא-לָמוֹ הֹלֵךְ דֶּרֶךְ וֶאֱוִילִים לֹא יִתְעֽוּ׃
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὃς ἐὰν μὴ δέξηται τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ θεοῦ ὡς παιδίον οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς αὐτήν
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the of kingdom God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Μηδεὶς ἑαυτὸν ἐξαπατάτω· εἴ τις δοκεῖ σοφὸς εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ μωρὸς γενέσθω ἵνα γένηται σοφός
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
וַאֲנִי-בַעַר וְלֹא אֵדָע בְּהֵמוֹת הָיִיתִי עִמָּֽךְ׃
So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
