< Luke 19 >

1 He entered and was passing through Jericho.
ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܒܪ ܒܐܝܪܝܚܘ
2 There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܙܟܝ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܪܒ ܡܟܤܐ
3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܢܘ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܩܘܡܬܗ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܝ
4 He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
ܘܪܗܛ ܩܕܡܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܗ ܠܬܬܐ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܢܚܙܝܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܤܬܪܗܒ ܚܘܬ ܙܟܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܒܝܬܟ ܐܗܘܐ
6 He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
ܘܐܤܬܪܗܒ ܢܚܬ ܘܩܒܠܗ ܟܕ ܚܕܐ
7 When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܐ
8 Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”
ܩܡ ܕܝܢ ܙܟܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܗܐ ܡܪܝ ܦܠܓܘܬ ܢܟܤܝ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܠܟܠܢܫ ܡܕܡ ܕܓܠܙܬ ܚܕ ܒܐܪܒܥܐ ܦܪܥ ܐܢܐ
9 Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ
10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܒܥܐ ܘܢܚܐ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܒܝܕ ܗܘܐ
11 As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܘܤܦ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܬܓܠܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
12 He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
ܘܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܒܪ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܢܗܦܘܟ
13 He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
ܘܩܪܐ ܥܤܪܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܓܪܘ ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
ܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܝܢ ܤܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܐܝܙܓܕܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܢܡܠܟ ܥܠܝܢ ܗܢܐ
15 “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business.
ܘܟܕ ܢܤܒ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܗܦܟ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܩܪܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܤܦܐ ܕܢܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܓܪ
16 The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
ܘܐܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܟ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܐܘܬܪ
17 “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܐܫܬܟܚܬ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܥܤܪܐ ܟܪܟܝܢ
18 “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
ܘܐܬܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܟ ܚܡܫܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܥܒܕ
19 “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
ܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܚܡܫܐ ܟܪܟܝܢ
20 Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
ܘܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܗܐ ܡܢܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܟܕ ܤܝܡ ܒܤܕܘܢܐ
21 for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’
ܕܚܠܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܟ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܬ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ
22 “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down and reaping that which I didn’t sow.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܟ ܐܕܘܢܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܬ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ
23 Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܟܤܦܝ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܒܥ ܠܗ ܥܡ ܪܒܝܬܗ
24 He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܤܒܘ ܡܢܗ ܡܢܝܐ ܘܗܒܘ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ
25 “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ
26 ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܢܤܒ ܡܢܗ
27 But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
ܒܪܡ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܩܕܡܝ
28 Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܦܩ ܠܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
29 When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܦܓܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ
30 saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܢ ܘܟܕ ܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܕܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܪܟܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܫܪܘ ܐܝܬܐܘܗܝ
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܐܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ
32 Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
ܘܐܙܠܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܥܝܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܘܗܝ ܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܗܘ
34 They said, “The Lord needs it.”
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ
35 Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܪܟܒܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܥܠܘܗܝ
36 As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܦܪܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ
37 As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܡܚܬܬܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܕܝܢ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܚܙܘ
38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ
39 Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܟܐܝ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ
40 He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܫܬܩܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܩܥܝܢ
41 When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܘܚܙܗ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܟܐ ܥܠܝܗ
42 saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
ܘܐܡܪ ܐܠܘ ܟܝ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܕܫܠܡܟܝ ܐܦܢ ܒܗܢܐ ܝܘܡܟܝ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܤܝ ܠܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܝܟܝ
43 For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܟܝ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܢܚܕܪܘܢܟܝ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܝ ܘܢܐܠܨܘܢܟܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ
44 and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
ܘܢܤܚܦܘܢܟܝ ܘܠܒܢܝܟܝ ܒܓܘܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܒܩܘܢ ܒܟܝ ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ ܚܠܦ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܤܘܥܪܢܟܝ
45 He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܡܙܒܢܝܢ
46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܝܬܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܕܠܤܛܝܐ
47 He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
ܘܗܘ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܝܘܡ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܗ
48 They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܐ ܬܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܠܡܫܡܥܗ
