< Luke 19 >

1 And as Jeshu entered and passed through Jirichu,
And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 there was a certain man whose name was Zakai; he was rich and chief of the publicans:
And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the tax collectors, and he was rich.
3 and he wished to see Jeshu, who he was, and could not for the crowd, because in his stature Zakai was small.
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 And he ran before Jeshu, and ascended a wild fig-tree to see him, because so he was about to pass.
And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5 And when Jeshu came to that place, he saw him, and said to him, Be in haste, descend, Zakai; for to-day I must be at thy house.
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
6 And he was in haste, and descended, and received him rejoicing.
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 But when they all saw (this), they murmured, and said that with a man a sinner he hath gone in to abide.
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 But Zakai stood, and said to Jeshu, Behold, my Lord, the dividing of my wealth give I to the poor; and to every man, whatever I have wrongfully taken, fourfold I restore.
And Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
9 Jeshu saith to him, To-day is there salvation to this house, because this (man) also (is a) son of Abraham.
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of man came to save that which was lost.
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 And when they had heard these things, he added to speak a parable; because he had drawn nigh to Urishlem, and they expected that in that hour would be revealed the kingdom of Aloha.
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12 And he said, A certain man of a noble house went into a distant country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 And he called his ten servants, and gave to them ten minin, and said to them, Trade till I come.
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 But his citizens hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We are not willing that this should reign over us.
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
15 And having received the kingdom and returned, he spake to call to him those servants to whom he had given the silver, that he might know how every one of them had traded.
And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 And the first came and said, My lord, thy mani ten minin hath gained.
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 He saith to him, Well, good servant: because in a little thou art found faithful, thou shalt have rule over ten towns.
And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came and said, My lord, thy mani five minin hath made.
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 He saith also to this, Thou also shalt have rule over five towns.
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 And the other came and said, My lord, behold thy mani which I have had with me, laid up in a napkin.
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 For I feared thee, because thou art a hard man, taking up what thou hadst not laid down, and reaping what thou sowedst not.
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 He said to him, From thy own mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou didst know that I was a hard man, taking up what I had not laid down, and reaping what I sowed not:
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 why (then) gavest thou not my silver upon the table, that when I came I might require it with its increase?
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 And to those who stood before him he said, Take from him the mani, and give to him who hath the ten minin.
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25 They say to him, Our lord, he hath ten minin.
( And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 He saith to them, I tell you, that to every one who hath (it) shall be given; and from him who hath not, that also which he hath shall be taken.
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 But those adversaries who would not that I should reign over them, bring them, and slay them before me.
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.
28 AND when Jeshu had said these things, he went forward to go to Urishlem.
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And when he came to Bethphage and Beth-ania, at the mount that is called the Place of Olives, he sent two from his disciples,
And it came to pass, when he had come near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 and said to them, Go to the village over against us; and as you enter, behold, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man hath ridden: loose and bring him.
Saying, Go ye into the village opposite you; in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him here.
31 And if any man demand why you loose him, thus say: It is requested by our Lord.
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 And they who were sent went and found as he had told them.
And they that were sent went, and found even as he had said to them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of him said to them, Why loose you the colt?
And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 And they said to them, Because by our Lord it is requested.
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 And they brought him to Jeshu; and they cast upon the colt their garments, and Jeshu rode upon him.
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus on it.
36 And as they went, they spread their clothes in the way.
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 And when he had come nigh to the declivity of the Mount of Olives, the whole assembly of the disciples began to rejoice, and praise Aloha with a high voice, for all the mighty acts which they had seen:
And when he had come near, even now 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 that they had seen;
38 and they said, Blessed be the King who cometh in the name of the Lord! Peace in the heavens, and glory in the highest!
Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 But some of the Pharishee from among the multitudes say to him, Rabi, rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 He saith to them, I tell you, if these should be silent, the stones would cry out.
And he answered and said to them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 AND when he approached, and saw the city, he wept over her, saying,
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 If thou hadst known these things which are for thy peace, and in this thy day! But now they are hidden from thine eyes.
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
43 But the days will come to thee when thine enemies shall encompass thee and straiten thee on every side,
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and surround thee, and keep thee in on every side,
44 and they shall overthrow thee, and thy children within thee, and not leave in thee one stone upon another, because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
45 And as he went into the temple, he began to cast out those who bought in it and sold,
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought;
46 and said to them, It is written that my house is the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 And he taught every day in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the elders of the people sought to destroy him,
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 but could not find what they might do to him; for all the people hung upon him to hear him.
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
