Lukas 19 - The Orthodox Jewish Bible(TOJB2011)

1And having entered, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was passing through Yericho.

2And, hinei, a man by name Zakkai was there and he was a chief moches (tax collector) and he was an oisher (rich man).

3And he was seeking to catch a look at Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach and was not able to do so, because of the multitude, and because he was komah (short of stature).

4And having run ahead to the front, he climbed up onto an etz (tree), a sycamore, that he might see Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, because by that derech (way) he was about to pass by.

11Now 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.

12Then Moshiach said, A certain man of noble birth traveled to a distant country to get for himself royal power for his malchut and to return.

13And having summoned ten avadim (servants) of his, he gave them ten minas and he said to them, Conduct business until I come.

14But his subjects were hating the man of noble birth and they sent a delegation after him saying, We do not want this one to rule over us.

15And 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 daas of what they had gained by trading.

16And the rishon (first) came, saying, With your mina, Adoni, ten minas more were gained.

17Yafeh! Eved tov! Because you have been ne'eman (faithful) in a very small thing, have shlita (authority) over ten towns. over them, bring here and execute them before me.

28And having said these things, he was traveling ahead, making his aliyah leregel to Yerushalayim.

29And it came about as he came near to Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah, by the Mount of Olives, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent two of the talmidim,

30Saying, 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.

31And if someone asks you, Why are you untying it? — you will say this: HaAdon has need of it.

32And having departed, the ones having been sent found it just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach told them.

33And while untying the AYIR, its owners said to them, Why are you untying the AYIR?

34And they said, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu has need of it.

35And they led it to him and, having thrown their kaftans on the AYIR, they put Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach on it.

36And as Moshiach rode along, the people were spreading their garments on the road.

41And as he came near, having seen the Ir (City), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach wept over it,

45And having entered into the Beis HaMikdash, Moshiach began to throw out the sellers,

46Saying to them, It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI,

47And 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,

48And they were not finding what they might do, for HaAm were all hanging on his every dvar.
