LUKE
Chapter 19
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:2 | And, hinei, a man by name Zakkai was there and he was a chief moches (tax-collector) and he was wealthy. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:3 | And he was seeking to catch a look at Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach and was not able because of the multitude, and because in stature he was short. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:4 | And having run ahead to the front, he climbed up onto an aitz (tree), a sycamore, that he might see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because by that derech (way) he was about to pass by. [Melachim Alef 10:27, Divrey Hayamim Alef 27:28, Yeshayah 9:10] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:5 | And as he came to the place, having looked up, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, "Zakkai, hurry and come down, for hayom in your bais it is necessary for me to remain." | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:6 | And having hurried, he came down and welcomed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with simcha. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:7 | And everyone, having seen this, were beginning to kvetsh (complain), saying, "With a choteh he entered to rest." | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:8 | And Zakkai stood there and said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, "Hinei, half of my possessions, Adoni, I give as tzedakah to the aniyim, and if from someone I defrauded of anything I am paying back arbatayim (four times)." [Shemot 22:1, Vayikra 6:4,5; Bamidbar 5:7; Shmuel Bais 12:6; Yechezkel 33:14,15] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:9 | And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, "Hayom Yeshu'at Eloheinu has come to this bais, because also he is a Ben Avraham." | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:10 | "For the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, Daniel 7:13-14) came to seek and to save the lost." [Yechezkel 34:12,16] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:11 | Now as they were hearing these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach added a mashal (parable), because he was near to Yerushalayim and they had the havamina (assumption) that the Malchut Hashem was about to appear immediately. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:12 | Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "A certain man of noble birth traveled to a distant country to get for himself royal power for his malchut and to return. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:13 | "And having summoned aseret avadim of his, he gave them asarah minas and he said to them, `Conduct esek (business) until I come.' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:14 | "But his subjects were hating him and they sent a delegation after him saying, `We do not want this one to rule over us.' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:15 | "And it came about when he returned, having received the royal power of his malchut, he summoned to his presence these avadim to whom he had given the kesef, that he might have da'as of what they had gained by trading. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:16 | "And having come, the rishon (first) saying, `Adoni, with your mina asarah minas more were gained.' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:17 | `Yafeh asita, Eved tov, because you have been ne'eman in a very small thing, have shlita (authority) over eser shtetlach.' [Mishle 27:18] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:20 | "And the other came saying, `Adoni, hinei! Your mina which I had put away in a servetke (napkin). | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:21 | `For I was fearing you, because you are a big machmir (stickler), you take what you did not deposit and you reap what you did not sow.' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:22 | "He says to him, `From your own mouth I will judge you, eved rasha. You had da'as that I am a big machmir (stickler), taking what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow? | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:23 | `Why did you not then put my kesef into the bank? Then when I came I would have collected ribit (interest).' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:24 | "And to the ones having stood nearby he said, `Take from him the mina and give it to the one having asarah minas.' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:26 | `I say to you that to everyone having, more will be given, but from the one not having, even what he has will be taken away. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:27 | `But these oyevim of me, the ones not wanting me to have the shlita over them, bring them here and execute them before me.'" | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:28 | And having said these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was traveling ahead making his aliyah leregel to Yerushalayim. REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO YERUSHALAYIM (MT 21:1-11; MK 11:1-10; LK 19:28-38; JO 12:12-16; ZECH. 14:4) | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:29 | And it came about as he came near to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah to the Mount of Olives, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent shnayim of the talmidim | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:30 | saying, "Go to the shtetl ahead of you, in which entering you will find an AYIR having been tied, upon which none among bnei Adam ever sat, and having untied it, bring it here. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:31 | "And if someone asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you will say this, `Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu has need of it.' | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:32 | And having departed, the ones having been sent found it just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:33 | And while untying the AYIR, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the AYIR?" | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:35 | And they led it to him and, having thrown their kaftans on the AYIR, they put Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach on it. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:36 | And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rode along, the people were spreading their garments on the road. [Melachim Bais 9:13] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:37 | And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was now approaching the path that makes the descent from the Mount of Olives, all the multitude of the Rebbe's talmidim began with simcha to shout "Baruch Hashem!" with a kol gadol for all the nifla'ot and gevurot Hashem of which they had been edey re'iyah (eyewitnesses) | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:38 | saying, "BARUCH HABAH, HaMelech B'SHEM ADONOI! Shalom b'Shomayim! And kavod in the Highest!" [Tehillim 118:26] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:39 | And some of the Perushim from the multitude said to him, "Rabbi, rebuke your talmidim!" | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:40 | And in reply Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "I say to you if these will be silent, the avanim (stones) will cry out." [Chabakuk 2:11] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:41 | And as he came near, having seen the Ir, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach wept over it, [Yeshayah 22:4] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:42 | saying. "If you had only had da'as in HaYom HaZeh of the things leading to shalom, but now it was nistar (concealed) from your eyes. | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:43 | "Because yamim will come upon you and your oyevim will construct a siege against you and they will surround you and will hem you in from all directions. [Yeshayah 29:3; Yirmeyah 6:6; Yechezkel 4:2; 28:6] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:44 | And they will dash you to the ground and your yeladim with you, and they will not leave an even (stone) upon an even (stone) within you, because you did not have da'as of the zman of your pekuddat (visitation)." [Tehillim 137:9] REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH CLEANSES THE BEIS HAMIKDASH--THE AITZ TE'ENAH IS CURSED (MT 21:18-19; MT 11:12-18; LK 19:45-48) | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:45 | And having entered into the Beis HaMikdash, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach began to throw out the sellers, | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:46 | saying to them, "It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI, but you made it a ME'ARAT PARITZIM. [Yeshayah 56:7; Yirmeyah 7:11] | |
Luke | OrthJBC | 19:47 | And he was saying shiurim yom yom in the Beis Hamikdash. But the Rashei Hakohanim and the Sofrim were seeking to kill him and also the Rashei HaAm, | |
