6 And having hurried, Zakkai came down and welcomed with Kabbalas HaMalchus (accepting his sovereignty as king) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with simcha (joy).
7 And all, having seen this, were beginning to kvetch (complain), saying, With a choteh (sinner) he entered to rest?
8 And Zakkai stood there and said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu: Hinei, half of my possessions, Adoni, I give as tzedakah (contribution to charity) to the aniyim, and if from someone I defrauded of anything, I am paying back arbatayim (four times). [Ex 22:1, Lv 6:4,5; Num 5:7; 2Sm 12:6; Ezek 33:14,15]
9 And he said to him, Hayom (Today) Yeshu'at Eloheinu has come to this bais, because he also is a Ben Avraham.
10 For the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) came to seek and to save the lost. [Ezek 34:12,16]
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.
12 Then 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.
