Luke 9 — TOJB
9Verse 1And having called together the Shneym Asar, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach gave to them koach (power) and samchut (authority) over all the shedim and to give refuah (healing) to their illnesses.Verse 2Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach sent them out as his Shlichim to preach the Malchut Hashem and to give refuah to the cholim,Verse 3And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick nor a schnorrerʼs (beggarʼs) sack nor lechem nor kesef, nor an extra kaftan.Verse 4And into whatever bais you may enter, remain there, and from there go out.Verse 5And as many as do not receive you, going out from that shtetl, shake off the dust from your feet for an edut against them.Verse 6And they departed and were itinerating throughout the shtetlach, darshenen the Besuras HaGeulah and healing everywhere.Verse 7Now Herod the Tetrarch heard all the things happening and he was perplexed because it was said by some that Yochanan had experienced his Techiyah from HaMesim and come back;Verse 8by some also that Eliyahu Hanavi had appeared; but by others that some navi of the ancients arose.Verse 9But Herod said, Yochanan I beheaded. Who then is this about whom I hear such things? And he was seeking to see him.Verse 10And having returned, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiachʼs Shlichim told him what things they did. And having taken them for a yechidus, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach withdrew to a shtetl being called Beit-Tzaidah.Verse 11But the multitudes, having realized this, followed him. And having given them a kabbalat panim (welcome), Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was speaking to them about the Malchut Hashem, and to the ones having need of it, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was giving refuah.Verse 12Now the day began to decline. And having approached, the Shneym Asar said to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, Send away the multitude, so that having gone into the surrounding shtetlach and farms, they may find lodging and may find provisions, for here we are in a desolate place.Verse 13And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, You give them [something] to eat. But they said, There are not to us more than chamesh kikrot (loaves) and dagim, shenayim, unless we go and buy for all this people okhel (food).Verse 14For there were about chamesh elafim anashim (five thousand). But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to his talmidim, Have them recline,+and chamishim (fifty) in a group.+Verse 15And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiachʼs talmidim did so, and all reclined.+Verse 16And having taken the chamesh kikrot and the shnei hadagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over them, and offered the betziat halechem, and was giving to the talmidim to set before the multitude.Verse 17And they ate and all were satisfied, and they picked up shirayim, shneym asar baskets full.Verse 18And it came about while he was davening alone, with only his talmidim with him, he questioned them, saying, Whom do the multitudes declare me to be?Verse 19And in reply they said, Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva; but others, Eliyahu Hanavi; and others, that a certain navi of the ancients has come back to life.Verse 20And he said to them, And you, who do you declare me to be? And in reply, Kefa said, The Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach of Hashem.Verse 21And having warned them, he gave orders to tell no one this,Verse 22Saying, It is necessary for the Bar Enosh+to suffer much and to be rejected by the Ziknei HaAm and Rashei Hakohanim and Sofrim and to be killed, and after his histalkus (passing), on Yom HaShelishi to undergo the Techiyas HaMoshiach.Verse 23And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was saying to all, If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and lift up his etz shel mesiros nefesh yom yom and let him follow me.Verse 24For whoever wishes to save his nefesh will lose it. But whoever loses his nefesh on my account will save it.Verse 25For what is the revach (profit) to a ben Adam who has gained the whole of the Olam Hazeh, but has lost his own self, forfeited his neshamah?Verse 26For whoever has bushah (shame) toward me and my devarim, this one the Bar Enosh+will be ashamed of, when Moshiach comes in his Kavod and the Kavod of HaAv of him and of the malachim hakedoshim (holy angels).Verse 27But I say to you, Omein, there are some standing here who will by no means taste mavet until they see the Malchut Hashem.Verse 28And it came to pass, about a week after these divrei Moshiach, that when he had taken Kefa and Yochanan and Ya'akov, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach went up to the har to daven.Verse 29And it came about that while Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach davens, the appearance of his face became different and his kaftan and all his clothing became dazzling white.Verse 30And two men were conversing with Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, and these two men were Moshe Rabbeinu and Eliyahu HaNavi,Verse 31Who appeared in kavod and were speaking of Moshiachʼs Litziat Exodus, which he was about to fulfill in Yerushalayim.Verse 32But Kefa and the ones with him had been weighed down with sleep. And having awakened fully, they saw his kavod and the two men standing with him.Verse 33And it came about, just as the men departed from Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, Kefa said, Adoni, it is good for us to be here; let us make shalosh sukkot, one for you and one for Moshe Rabbeinu and one for Eliyahu HaNavi. (Kefa did not know what he was saying.)Verse 34And while Kefa was saying these things, an anan (cloud) came and was overshadowing them, and while they entered into the anan they were afraid.Verse 35And a bat kol came from the anan (cloud), saying ZEH BENI BECHIRI, ELAV TISHMAUN (This is my Son the Chosen One, listen to him).+Verse 36When the bat kol became silent, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was found alone. And they were silent, and reported to no one in those yamim anything of what they had seen.Verse 37And it came about on the following day, when they had descended from the har (mountain), a large throng met Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach.Verse 38And an ish from the multitude cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beg you to look at beni (my son), for to me he is a ben yachid (only son),Verse 39And a shed seizes him and suddenly shrieking and lets out a shrai and throws the bocher into a convulsion with foam at the mouth and it mauls him and will scarcely depart from him.Verse 40And I begged your talmidim that they might cast out the shed, and they were not able.Verse 41And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, O perverse dor (generation) without emunah, until when will I be with you, and until when will I put up with you? Bring your ben here.+Verse 42Even now as the bocher was approaching Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, the shed threw him down and convulsed him. But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the shed (the ruach hatumah) and gave refuah to the bocher, and gave him back to his abba.Verse 43And all were amazed at the gedulat Hashem. And while all were beholding the peledike way he was doing everything, he said to his talmidim,Verse 44Let these divrei Hashem lodge in your ears: for the Bar Enosh+is about to be delivered into the hands of Bnei Adam.Verse 45But they had no binah concerning this dvar of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, and it had been nistar from them in order that they might not have binah, and they were afraid to ask him about this dvar.Verse 46Now an argument arose among his talmidim, as to who would be the greatest.Verse 47And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, having perceived the machshavah of their levavot, took a yeled into his arms and stood the yeled next to him.Verse 48And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Whoever receives this yeled in ha-Shem of me,+is mekabel (receiving, accepting) of me. And whoever is mekabel of me is mekabel of the One+who sent me. For whoever is the least among all of you, this one is the Gadol.Verse 49And in reply Yochanan said, Adoni, we saw someone casting out shedim b'Shem of you and we were trying to stop him, because he is not following as one of the anshei shlomeinu (men of our fraternity).Verse 50But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Do not stop him. For whoever is not against you, is for you.Verse 51And it came about that as the Yom of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiachʼs aliyah ascent to Shomayim approaches, he set his face bedavka (deliberately) and resolutely to go up to Yerushalayim.Verse 52And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach sent messengers ahead of him. And having gone, they entered into a village of Shomron in order to make arrangements for him.Verse 53And the people of Shomron were not mekabel Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, because his face was set to go to Yerushalayim.Verse 54And when Rebbe Melech HaMoshiachʼs talmidim, Ya'akov and Yochanan, witnessed this, they said, Adoneinu, do you want that we should call eish to come down from Shomayim to consume them?+Verse 55And, having turned around, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked them.Verse 56And they went to another village.Verse 57And as they were going baderech (on the road), a certain one said to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, I will follow you wherever you go.Verse 58And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Foxes have dens, and the OPH HASHOMAYIM+(birds of heaven) have nests, but the Bar Enosh+does not have a place where he may lay down his head.Verse 59And he said to another, Follow me. But the ish said, Adoni, allow me to go first and bury the Av of me.Verse 60But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Leave the mesim (dead ones, spiritually unregenerate ones without hitkhadshut) to bury their mesim (dead ones), but you go and proclaim the Malchut Hashem.Verse 61And another said also, I will follow you, Adoni. But first allow me to say lhitraot to the ones in my bais.+Verse 62But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, No one having put his hand upon the plow yet looking back to the things behind is fit for the Malchut Hashem.+
