ܠܘܩܘܣ 19
| ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܒܪ ܒܐܝܪܝܚܘ | 1 |
Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
| ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܙܟܝ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܪܒ ܡܟܤܐ | 2 |
There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a senior tax collector and a rich man.
| ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܢܘ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܩܘܡܬܗ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܝ | 3 |
He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
| ܘܪܗܛ ܩܕܡܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܗ ܠܬܬܐ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܢܚܙܝܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ | 4 |
So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
| ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܤܬܪܗܒ ܚܘܬ ܙܟܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܒܝܬܟ ܐܗܘܐ | 5 |
When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, ‘Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house today.’
| ܘܐܤܬܪܗܒ ܢܚܬ ܘܩܒܠܗ ܟܕ ܚܕܐ | 6 |
So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
| ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܐ | 7 |
On seeing this, everyone began to complain, ‘He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.’
| ܩܡ ܕܝܢ ܙܟܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܗܐ ܡܪܝ ܦܠܓܘܬ ܢܟܤܝ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܠܟܠܢܫ ܡܕܡ ܕܓܠܙܬ ܚܕ ܒܐܪܒܥܐ ܦܪܥ ܐܢܐ | 8 |
But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master, ‘Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give him back four times as much.’
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ | 9 |
‘Salvation has come to this house today,’ answered Jesus, ‘for even this man is a son of Abraham.
| ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܒܥܐ ܘܢܚܐ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܒܝܕ ܗܘܐ | 10 |
The Son of Man has come to search for those who are lost and to save them.’
| ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܘܤܦ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܬܓܠܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ | 11 |
As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܒܪ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܢܗܦܘܟ | 12 |
He said, ‘A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a kingdom and then return.
| ܘܩܪܐ ܥܤܪܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܓܪܘ ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ | 13 |
He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds of silver each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
| ܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܝܢ ܤܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܐܝܙܓܕܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܢܡܠܟ ܥܠܝܢ ܗܢܐ | 14 |
But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say “We will not have this man as our king.”
| ܘܟܕ ܢܤܒ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܗܦܟ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܩܪܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܤܦܐ ܕܢܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܓܪ | 15 |
On his return, after having been appointed king, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
| ܘܐܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܟ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܐܘܬܪ | 16 |
The first came up, and said “Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܐܫܬܟܚܬ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܥܤܪܐ ܟܪܟܝܢ | 17 |
“Well done, good servant!” exclaimed the master. “As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.”
| ܘܐܬܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܟ ܚܡܫܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܥܒܕ | 18 |
When the second came, he said “Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.”
| ܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܚܡܫܐ ܟܪܟܝܢ | 19 |
So the master said to him “And you I appoint over five towns.”
| ܘܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܗܐ ܡܢܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܟܕ ܤܝܡ ܒܤܕܘܢܐ | 20 |
Another servant also came and said “Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
| ܕܚܠܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܟ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܬ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ | 21 |
For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܟ ܐܕܘܢܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܬ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ | 22 |
The master answered “Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
| ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܟܤܦܝ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܒܥ ܠܗ ܥܡ ܪܒܝܬܗ | 23 |
Then why didn’t you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
| ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܤܒܘ ܡܢܗ ܡܢܝܐ ܘܗܒܘ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ | 24 |
Take away from him the ten pounds,” he said to those standing by, “and give them to the one who has the hundred.”
| ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ | 25 |
“But, Sir,” they said, “he has a hundred pounds already!”
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܢܤܒ ܡܢܗ | 26 |
“I tell you,” he answered, “that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
| ܒܪܡ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܩܕܡܝ | 27 |
But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their king, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.”’
| ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܦܩ ܠܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ | 28 |
After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
| ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܦܓܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ | 29 |
It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܢ ܘܟܕ ܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܕܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܪܟܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܫܪܘ ܐܝܬܐܘܗܝ | 30 |
‘Go to the village facing us,’ he said, ‘and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
| ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܐܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ | 31 |
And, if anybody asks you “Why are you untying it?”, you are to say this – “The Master wants it.”’
| ܘܐܙܠܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ | 32 |
So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
| ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܥܝܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܘܗܝ ܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܗܘ | 33 |
While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them – ‘Why are you untying the foal?’
| ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ | 34 |
And the two disciples answered – ‘The Master wants it.’
| ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܪܟܒܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܥܠܘܗܝ | 35 |
Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus on it.
| ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܦܪܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ | 36 |
As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
| ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܡܚܬܬܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܕܝܢ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܚܙܘ | 37 |
When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, everyone of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
| ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ | 38 |
‘Blessed is He who comes – our king – in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory on high.’
| ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܟܐܝ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ | 39 |
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Teacher, restrain your disciples.’
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܫܬܩܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܩܥܝܢ | 40 |
But Jesus answered, ‘I tell you that if they are silent, the stones will call out.’
| ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܘܚܙܗ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܟܐ ܥܠܝܗ | 41 |
When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said,
| ܘܐܡܪ ܐܠܘ ܟܝ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܕܫܠܡܟܝ ܐܦܢ ܒܗܢܐ ܝܘܡܟܝ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܤܝ ܠܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܝܟܝ | 42 |
‘If only you had known, while yet there was time – even you – the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
| ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܟܝ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܢܚܕܪܘܢܟܝ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܝ ܘܢܐܠܨܘܢܟܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ | 43 |
For a time is coming when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
| ܘܢܤܚܦܘܢܟܝ ܘܠܒܢܝܟܝ ܒܓܘܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܒܩܘܢ ܒܟܝ ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ ܚܠܦ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܤܘܥܪܢܟܝ | 44 |
they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.’
| ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܡܙܒܢܝܢ | 45 |
Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܝܬܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܕܠܤܛܝܐ | 46 |
saying as he did so, ‘Scripture says – “My house will be a house of prayer”; but you have made it a den of robbers.’
| ܘܗܘ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܝܘܡ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܗ | 47 |
Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the chief priests and teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leaders of the people.
| ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܐ ܬܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܠܡܫܡܥܗ | 48 |
Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung on his words.
