Markos 10:1-31

Markos 10:1-31 TOJB2011

And from there, having got up, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes into the region of Yehudah and on the other side of the Yarden, and again multitudes gather to him, and as was his minhag (custom), once more he was teaching them torah. And, having approached, the Perushim, testing him, were asking him, Is it mutar for a man to give a get (divorce) to his wife? But in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, What mitzvah (commandment) did Moshe give you? And they said, Moshe Rabbeinu made it mutar (permissible) for a man to write SEFER KERITUT (a get, bill of divorcement) and to send her away (dismiss her, divorce her). But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Because of the hardness of your levavot, he wrote you this mitzvah. But in the beginning of the Beriah (Creation) ZACHAR UNEKEVAH BARA OTAM ([HASHEM] made them male and female). AL KEN YAAZAV ISH ES AVIV VES IMMO VDAVAK BISHTO (A man will leave his father and his mother and he will be joined to his isha [wife]), VHAYU LVASAR ECHAD, (and the two will be one flesh). For this reason, they are no longer Shnayim but Basar Echad. Therefore, what HASHEM has joined together, let no ben Adam separate. And in the bais, the talmidim began to question Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach about this again. And he says to them, Whoever gives a get to his isha and marries another, commits niuf (adultery) against his isha. And if she gets a get (divorce) from her baal (husband) and marries another, she commits niuf (adultery). And they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach yeladim that he might lay his hands on them. But the talmidim rebuked them. And having seen this, he became displeased and indignant, and said to his talmidim, Permit the yeladim to come to me, and do not hinder them, for of such as these is the Malchut HASHEM. Omein, I say to you, Whoever is not mekabel Malchut HASHEM (receives the Kingdom of G-d) as a yeled would be mekabel Malchut HASHEM, will by no means enter it. And having taken the yeladim into his arms, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach laid his hands on them and made a bracha over them. And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was setting out to travel, one running and falling down before him, was asking him, Rabbi haTov, what mitzvah may I do that I might inherit Chayyei Olam? And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Why do you call me tov? No one tov except echad, Elohim, nu? You have daas of the mitzvot, the Aseres HaDibros (The Decalogue), LO TIRTZACH, LO TINAF, LO TIGNOV, LO TAANEH VREIACHA ED SHAKER, KABEID ES AVICHA VES IMMECHA (Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness (do not defraud), honor your father and mother.) And the man was saying to him, Rabbi, from kinder-yoren I have been frum and shomer mitzvot, keeping all these things. And looking at him and having ahavah for his neshamah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, One thing you lack: go and sell all your possessions and give to the aniyim, and you will have otzar (treasure) in Shomayim; and come, follow me. But at the dvar HaMoshiach, his face turned gloomy and he departed with agmat nefesh (grief), for he had many possessions. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, looking around, says to his talmidim, How difficult it will be for the oisher to enter the Malchut HASHEM! And the talmidim were amazed at his devarim. But again Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in reply, says to them, Yeladim, how difficult it is to enter into the Malchut HASHEM. It is easier [for] a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for an oisher (rich person) to enter the Malchut HASHEM. And they were even more amazed, saying to one another, Then who with the Yeshu'at Eloheinu is able to be saved? Having looked at them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, With Bnei Adam [this is] impossible, but not with HASHEM. For all things are possible with HASHEM. Shim'on Kefa began to say to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Hinei! We left everything and have followed you! Yehoshua said, Omein, I say to you, there is no one who left bais or achim or achayot or em or abba or banim or sadot (fields) for the sake of me and for the sake of the Besuras HaGeulah, But that he shall receive a hundredfold now in the Olam Hazeh, batim (houses) and achim and achayot and imahot and banim and sadot with redifot (persecutions); and in Olam Habah, Chayyei Olam. And many Rishonim (First Ones) will be Acharonim (Last Ones); and the Acharonim, will be Rishonim.
