1
Now Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, full of the Ruach Hakodesh, returned from the Yarden, and was being led by the Ruach Hakodesh bamidbar
2 For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.
2
Where for ARBAIM YOM Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was undergoing nisayon by Hasatan. And he had no okhel in those yamim. And when the yamim had been completed, he was famished.
3 And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.
3
And Hasatan said to Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, If you are the Ben HaElohim, command this even (stone) that it become lechem.
4 And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.
4
And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach answered Hasatan, It has been written, LO AL HALECHEM LVADOH YCHE-YEH HAADAM, (Not by bread alone will man live Dt 8:3).

5
And Hasatan led Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach up and showed him, in a moment of time, all the mamlechot (kingdoms) of the Olam Hazeh;
6 And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.
6
And Hasatan said to him, To you I will give all this shilton (rule), this shlita (control), and their kavod, because it has been given to me; and to whomever I desire, I give it.
7 If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.
7
Therefore, if you will be KOREIA UMISHTACHAVEH (kneeling down and worship, ESTHER 3:5) before me, everything will be yours.
8 And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.
8
And in reply, he said to Hasatan, It has been written, ES HASHEM ELOHEICHA TIRAH VOTO TAAVOD (Hashem Eloheicha you shall fear and him alone you shall serve Dt 6:13)
9 And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here; for it is said in the Writings,
9

10 He will give his angels orders to take care of you:
10
For it has been written, MALACHAV YTZAVVEH LACH (His angels he will command concerning you to protect you,
11 And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
11
And upon their hands they will lift you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. [TEHILLIM 91:11,12]
12 And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
12
And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to Hasatan, It says, LO TENASSU ES HASHEM ELOHEICHEM, (Do not put to the test Hashem your G-d. Dt 6:16)
