Luke 19
1 And as Jesus entered and passed through Jericho,
And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;
2 there was a certain man, whose name was Zaccheus, who was rich, and chief of the publicans;
and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and [he] was rich.
3 and he wished to see Jesus, who he was; and could not, on account of the crowd; because Zaccheus was small in stature.
And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small.
4 And he ran forward of Jesus, and climbed a wild fig-tree, in order to see him; for he was to pass that way.
And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he saw him, and said to him: Make haste and come down, Zaccheus; for I must be at thy house to-day.
And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him—Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.
6 And he hastened, and came down, and received him with gladness.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 And when they all saw it, they murmured, and said: He hath gone in to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying—With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!
8 And Zaccheus stood up, and said to Jesus: Behold, my Lord, the half of my riches I give to the poor; and to every man, whom I have wronged in any thing, I restore fourfold.
But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord—Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.
9 Jesus said to him: This day, life is to this house; for he also is a son of Abraham.
And Jesus said unto him—This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, —for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;
10 For the Son of man came, to seek and to vivify that which was lost.
For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
11 And when they heard these things, he proceeded to utter a similitude; because he was near to Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was to be soon developed.
And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth.
12 And he said: A certain man of high birth was going to a distant place, to obtain royalty, and return again.
He said, therefore—A certain man, of noble birth, went into a country far away, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds: and he said to them, Traffic until I come.
And, calling ten servants of his own, he gave unto them ten minas, and said unto them—Do business, till I come.
14 But the inhabitants of his city hated him; and they sent envoys after him, saying: We wish this man not to reign over us.
But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying—We desire not, this, man, to be made king over us!
15 And when he had obtained the royalty, and had returned, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had committed his money; that he might know what each of them had gained by trading.
And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done.
16 And the first came, and said: My Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And the first came near, saying—Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas.
17 He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns.
And he said to him—Well done! good servant. Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, ten cities.
18 And the second came, and said: My lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds.
And the second came, saying—Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas.
19 He said likewise to him: Thou also shalt have authority over five towns.
And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities.
20 And another came, and said: My lord, lo, this is thy pound, which hath been with me, laid up in fine linen.
And, the other, came, saying—Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by in a napkin;
21 For I was afraid of thee, because thou art a hard man, and takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou sowedst not.
For I was afraid of thee, because, a harsh man, thou art, —Thou takest up, what thou layedst not down, and reapest, what thou sowedst not!
22 He said to him: Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou evil servant. Thou knewest me, that I am a hard man, and that I take up what I laid not down, and reap what I sowed not!
He saith to him—Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, —taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;
23 Why didst thou not put my money into the broker's hands, that when I came, I might have demanded it with interest?
Wherefore, then, didst thou not place my silver upon a [money-changer’s] table, and, I, when I came, with interest might have exacted it?
24 And he said to them that stood before him: Take from him the pound, and give it to him with whom are the ten pounds.
And, unto the by-standers, he said—Take, from him, the mina, and give unto him that hath, the ten minas; —
25 They say to him: Our lord, there are with him ten pounds.
And they said to him, Lord! he hath ten minas; —
26 He said to them: I tell you, that to every one that hath, will be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away.
I tell you—Unto everyone that hath, shall be given, whereas, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away.
27 But as for those my enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me.
But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.
28 And when Jesus had spoken these things, he went forward, to go to Jerusalem.
And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.
29 And when he arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, near to the mount called the place of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
And it came to pass, as he drew near unto Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount which is called the Mount of Olives, he sent off two of his disciples,
30 and said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as ye enter it, ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose him and bring him.
saying—Go your way unto the opposite village, in which, as ye are entering, ye shall find a colt, bound, whereon, no man, hath, ever sat, —and, having loosed him, bring him.
31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? say to him: Our Lord needeth him.
And, if any one question you—Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say—His Lord, hath, need.
32 And they went who were sent, and they found, as he said to them.
And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.
33 And as they loosed the colt, the owner of him said to them: Why do ye loose that colt?
And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto them—Why are ye loosing the colt?
34 And they said: Because our Lord needeth him.
And, they, said—His Lord, hath, need.
35 And they brought him to Jesus. And they cast their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus upon him.
And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.
36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.
37 And when he came near to the descent of the place of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds which they had seen.
And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;
38 And they said: Blessed be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory on high.
saying—Blessed is he that cometh… The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the crowd, said to him: Rabbi, rebuke thy disciples.
And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him—Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.
40 He said to them: I tell you, that, if these should be silent, the stones would cry out.
And he answered and said—I tell you—If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
41 And as he drew near, and beheld the city, he wept over it:
And, when he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it, saying—
42 and said: O, hadst thou known the things that are of thy peace, at least in this thy day: but now they are hidden from thy eyes.
If thou hadst got to know, in this day, even thou, the conditions of peace… But, now, are they hid from thine eyes:
43 For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will encompass thee, and besiege thee on every side.
Because days will have come upon thee, that thine enemies will throw around a rampart against thee, and enclose thee; and hem thee in from every side, —
44 And they will destroy thee, and thy children within thee; and will not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation.
45 And when he entered the temple, he began to expel those who bought and sold in it.
And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling;
46 And he said to them: It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers.
saying unto them—It is written, And, my house, shall be, a house of prayer; but, ye, have made, it, a den of robbers.
47 And he taught daily in the temple: and the chief priests and Scribes and Elders of the people, sought to destroy him.
And he was teaching day by day in the temple; but, the High-priests and the Scribes, also the chiefs of the people, were seeking to destroy him, —
48 But they found not, what they could do to him; for all the people hung upon him to hear him.
and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.
