OrthJBC - Luke - 4

4:1  Now Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, full of the Ruach Hakodesh, returned from the Yarden, and was being led by the Ruach Hakodesh bamidbar [Yechezkel 37:1]

4:2  where for ARBA'IM YOM Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was being tempted by Hasatan. And he had no okhel in those yamim. And when the yamim had been completed, he was famished. [Shemot 34:28]

4:3  And Hasatan said to Rebbe Melech Melech HaMoshiach, "If you are the Ben HaElohim, command this even (stone) that it become lechem."

4:4  And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach answered Hasatan, "It has been written, LO 'AL HALECHEM L'VADOH Y'CHE-YEH HAADAM, ("Not by bread alone will man live." [Devarim 8:3])

4:5  And Hasatan led Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach up and showed him, in a moment of time, all the mamlakhut (kingdoms) of the Olam Hazeh;

4:6  and Hasatan said to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, "To you I will give all this shilton and their kavod, because it has been given to me; and to whomever I desire, I give it.

4:7  "Therefore, if you will KOREI'A U'MISHTACHAVEH ("bow down and worship," ESTHER 3:5) before me, everything will be yours."

4:8  And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to Hasatan, "It has been written, ES HASHEM ELOHEICHA TIRAH V'OTO TA'AVOD ("Es Hashem Eloheicha you shall fear and him alone you shall serve." Devarim 6:13)

4:9  And Hasatan led Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach to Yerushalayim and set him atop the pinnacle of the Beis HaMikdash, and said to him, "If you are the Ben HaElohim, throw yourself down from here;

4:10  For it has been written, MALACHAV Y'TZAV-VEH LACH ("His angels he will command concerning you" to protect you,

4:11  "and upon their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone." [Tehillim 91:11,12]

4:12  And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to Hasatan, "It is said, LO TENASSU ES HASHEM ELOHEICHEM, ("Do not put to the test Hashem your G-d." [Devarim 6:16]

4:13  And after Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach completed all nisayonot, Hasatan went away from him until an opportune time. REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH RETURNS TO THE GALIL (MT. 4:12; MK 1:14; JO 4:43-45)

4:14  And in the ko'ach of the Ruach Hakodesh, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach returned to the Galil. And a report went out throughout all the surrounding countryside about him. GO'ALEINU ADONOI TZ'VA'OT SHMO KEDOSH YISROEL! REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH CALLED UP TO READ AT THE ALMEMAR (RAISED PLATFORM) AS THE BA'AL KORAY OF THE HAFTARAH (MT.4:17; MK 1:15)

4:15  And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was saying shiurim in their shuls and eliciting a peledike reaction from everyone.

4:16  And he came to Natzeret, the shtetl of his guddal (being brought up) and he entered according to his minhag on Yom haShabbos into the shul and was given an aliyah as the Ba'al Koray.

4:17  And at the Hagba, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was presented with the megillat sefer Yeshayah, and having unrolled the megillah, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach found the dvar where it had been written,

4:18  RUACH ADONAI ELOHIM ALAI YA'AN MASHACH ADONAI OTI LEVASER ANAVIM SHELACHANI LIKRO LISHVUYIM DEROR, and to the blind PEKACH KO'ACH, L'SHLEI'ACH RETZUTZIM CHAFSHIM, ("The Spirit of the Sovereign L-rd is upon me because he anointed me to preach Besuras HaGeulah to the poor, he has sent me to preach to the captives release and to the blind the recovery of sight, to set the oppressed free [Yeshayah 61:1-2; 58:6],

4:19  LIKRO SHENAT RATZON LAHASHEM ("To preach the year of Hashem's favor.")[Yeshayah 61:1,2 Targum Ha-Shivim; Vayikra 25:10; Tehillim 102:20, 103:6; Yeshayah 42:7,49:8,9]

4:20  And doing the gelilah ceremony, he rolled up the megillah; and, having given it back to the shammash, he sat down [to teach]. And all the eyes in the shul were focused on him.

4:21  And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach began to speak to them, "Hayom (today) this dvar of the Kitvei Hakodesh has been fulfilled in your hearing."

4:22  And everyone was speaking well of him and they were amazed at the divrei Chen coming out of his mouth and they were saying, "Can this be Yosef's ben?"

4:23  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "Muz zain (no doubt) you will speak this mashal to me: `Rofeh, heal yourself.` Everything we heard that happened in K'far-Nachum, do also here in your shtetl."

4:24  But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, "Omein, I say to you that no navi is welcome in his own shtetl, in his own eretz moledet (homeland).

4:25  "Omein I tell you, there were many almanot in Yisroel in the yamim of Eliyahu HaNavi, when Shomayim was shut up for shalosh shanim and shishah chodashim, when a great famine occurred over all the land, [Melachim Alef 17:1]

4:26  "And to not one of them was Eliyahu HaNavi sent except to Tzarfat of Tzidon to an isha, an almanah. [Melachim Alef 17:8-16]

4:27  And many metzora'im (lepers) were in Yisroel during the time of Elisha HaNavi, and not one of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." [Melachim Bais 5:1-14]

4:28  And hearing these things, all in the shul were filled with ka'as.

4:29  And they got up and drove Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach outside the shtetl; and they led him up to the top of the hill upon which the shtetl had been built, and they were intending to throw him down. [Bamidbar 15:35]

4:30  But having gone through the midst of them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was walking away.

4:31  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went down to K'far-Nachum, a shtetl of the Galil. And he was saying them shiurim on the Shabbatot. SHABBOS IN KFAR-NACHUM (MT 8:14-17; MK 1:21-34)

4:32  And they were amazed at his torah, because Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach's dvar torah was with samchut.

4:33  And in the shul there was a man having a ruach hatameh (unclean spirit, shed, demon) and he cried out with a kol gadol.

4:34  "Ah, mah lanu v'lach, Yehoshua of Natzeret? Did you come to destroy us? I have da'as of who you are, HaKadosh of Hashem."

4:35  And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked him saying, "Sha! Shekit! And come out of him!" And right in front of them, when the shed threw him down, the ruach hatameh came out of him and did not do him any harm.

4:36  And astonishment came upon everyone. And they were talking to one another saying, "What is this dvar Torah, for with samchut and ko'ach he commands the ruchot hatemei'ot (unclean spirits) and they come out!

4:37  And a shema (report) was going out about him into every place of the surrounding region.

4:38  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach got up from the shul and entered into the bais of Shimon. And the chamot (mother-in-law, shviger) of Shimon was fever-stricken, and they asked him about her.

4:39  And having stood over her, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the kaddachat (fever, DEVARIM 28:22) and it left her. And at once, having got up, she was functioning as their mesharetet (servant, keli kodesh, minister).

4:40  And while the shemesh was setting, all who had cholim, all with various machalot brought them to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach. And he, laying his hands upon each one of them, was administering refu'ah to them.

4:41  And also shedim were coming out from many, shrieking a shrai (scream) and crying out, "You are HaBen HaElohim!" And rebuklng them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was not allowing them to speak, because they had da'as of his identity as Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach. REBBE MELECH HAMOSHIACH MAKES HIS FIRST ITINERARY THROUGH THE GALIL (MT 4:23-25; MK 1:35-39)

4:42  And in the boker, having gone forth, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach went out to a desolate place. And the multitudes were seeking him, and when they got to him, they wanted to prevent his departure from them.

4:43  But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, "It is necessary for me to preach the Malchut Hashem in the other shtetlach, because for this purpose I was sent."

4:44  And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was preaching in the shuls of Yehudah.
