< Luke 19 >

1 So He entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
και εισελθων διηρχετο την ιεριχω
2 There was a man there called Zacchaeus, who was the local surveyor of taxes, and was wealthy.
και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι καλουμενος ζακχαιος και αυτος ην αρχιτελωνης και ουτος ην πλουσιος
3 He was anxious to see what sort of man Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for he was short in stature.
και εζητει ιδειν τον ιησουν τις εστιν και ουκ ηδυνατο απο του οχλου οτι τη ηλικια μικρος ην
4 So he ran on in front and climbed up a mulberry tree to see Him; for He was about to pass that way.
και προδραμων εμπροσθεν ανεβη επι συκομωραιαν ινα ιδη αυτον οτι δι εκεινης ημελλεν διερχεσθαι
5 As soon as Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house to-day."
και ως ηλθεν επι τον τοπον αναβλεψας ο ιησους ειδεν αυτον και ειπεν προς αυτον ζακχαιε σπευσας καταβηθι σημερον γαρ εν τω οικω σου δει με μειναι
6 So he came down in haste, and welcomed Him joyfully.
και σπευσας κατεβη και υπεδεξατο αυτον χαιρων
7 When they all saw this, they began to complain with indignation. "He has gone in to be the guest of a notorious sinner!" they said.
και ιδοντες απαντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι
8 Zacchaeus however stood up, and addressing the Lord said, "Here and now, Master, I give half my property to the poor, and if I have unjustly exacted money from any man, I pledge myself to repay to him four times the amount."
σταθεις δε ζακχαιος ειπεν προς τον κυριον ιδου τα ημιση των υπαρχοντων μου κυριε διδωμι τοις πτωχοις και ει τινος τι εσυκοφαντησα αποδιδωμι τετραπλουν
9 Turning towards him, Jesus replied, "To-day salvation has come to this house, seeing that he too is a son of Abraham.
ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο ιησους οτι σημερον σωτηρια τω οικω τουτω εγενετο καθοτι και αυτος υιος αβρααμ εστιν
10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."
ηλθεν γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ζητησαι και σωσαι το απολωλος
11 As they were listening to His words, He went on to teach them by a parable, because He was near to Jerusalem and they supposed that the Kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.
ακουοντων δε αυτων ταυτα προσθεις ειπεν παραβολην δια το εγγυς αυτον ειναι ιερουσαλημ και δοκειν αυτους οτι παραχρημα μελλει η βασιλεια του θεου αναφαινεσθαι
12 So He said to them, "A man of noble family travelled to a distant country to obtain the rank of king, and to return.
ειπεν ουν ανθρωπος τις ευγενης επορευθη εις χωραν μακραν λαβειν εαυτω βασιλειαν και υποστρεψαι
13 And he called ten of his servants and gave each of them a pound, instructing them to trade with the money during his absence.
καλεσας δε δεκα δουλους εαυτου εδωκεν αυτοις δεκα μνας και ειπεν προς αυτους πραγματευσασθε εως ερχομαι
14 "Now his countrymen hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, 'We are not willing that he should become our king.'
οι δε πολιται αυτου εμισουν αυτον και απεστειλαν πρεσβειαν οπισω αυτου λεγοντες ου θελομεν τουτον βασιλευσαι εφ ημας
15 And upon his return, after he had obtained the sovereignty, he ordered those servants to whom he had given the money to be summoned before him, that he might learn their success in trading.
και εγενετο εν τω επανελθειν αυτον λαβοντα την βασιλειαν και ειπεν φωνηθηναι αυτω τους δουλους τουτους οις εδωκεν το αργυριον ινα γνω τις τι διεπραγματευσατο
16 "So the first came and said, "'Sir, your pound has produced ten pounds more.'
παρεγενετο δε ο πρωτος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου προσειργασατο δεκα μνας
17 "'Well done, good servant,' he replied; 'because you have been faithful in a very small matter, be in authority over ten towns.'
και ειπεν αυτω ευ αγαθε δουλε οτι εν ελαχιστω πιστος εγενου ισθι εξουσιαν εχων επανω δεκα πολεων
18 "The second came, and said, "'Your pound, Sir, has produced five pounds.'
και ηλθεν ο δευτερος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου εποιησεν πεντε μνας
19 "So he said to this one also, "'And you, be the governor of five towns.'
ειπεν δε και τουτω και συ γινου επανω πεντε πολεων
20 "The next came. "'Sir,' he said, 'here is your pound, which I have kept wrapt up in a cloth.
και ετερος ηλθεν λεγων κυριε ιδου η μνα σου ην ειχον αποκειμενην εν σουδαριω
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man: you take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.'
εφοβουμην γαρ σε οτι ανθρωπος αυστηρος ει αιρεις ο ουκ εθηκας και θεριζεις ο ουκ εσπειρας
22 "'By your own words,' he replied, 'I will judge you, you bad servant. You knew me to be a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow:
λεγει δε αυτω εκ του στοματος σου κρινω σε πονηρε δουλε ηδεις οτι εγω ανθρωπος αυστηρος ειμι αιρων ο ουκ εθηκα και θεριζων ο ουκ εσπειρα
23 why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back with interest?
και δια τι ουκ εδωκας το αργυριον μου επι την τραπεζαν και εγω ελθων συν τοκω αν επραξα αυτο
24 "And he said to those who stood by, "'Take the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
και τοις παρεστωσιν ειπεν αρατε απ αυτου την μναν και δοτε τω τας δεκα μνας εχοντι
25 ("They said to him, "'Sir, he already has ten pounds.')
και ειπον αυτω κυριε εχει δεκα μνας
26 "'I tell you that to every one who has anything, more shall be given; and from him who has not anything, even what he has shall be taken away.
λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι παντι τω εχοντι δοθησεται απο δε του μη εχοντος και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
27 But as for those enemies of mine who were unwilling that I should become their king, bring them here, and cut them to pieces in my presence.'"
πλην τους εχθρους μου εκεινους τους μη θελησαντας με βασιλευσαι επ αυτους αγαγετε ωδε και κατασφαξατε εμπροσθεν μου
28 After thus speaking, He journeyed onward, proceeding up to Jerusalem.
και ειπων ταυτα επορευετο εμπροσθεν αναβαινων εις ιεροσολυμα
29 And when he was come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount called the Oliveyard, He sent two of the disciples on in front,
και εγενετο ως ηγγισεν εις βηθφαγη και βηθανιαν προς το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων απεστειλεν δυο των μαθητων αυτου
30 saying to them, "Go into the village facing you. On entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie it, and bring it here.
ειπων υπαγετε εις την κατεναντι κωμην εν η εισπορευομενοι ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεις πωποτε ανθρωπων εκαθισεν λυσαντες αυτον αγαγετε
31 And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"
και εαν τις υμας ερωτα δια τι λυετε ουτως ερειτε αυτω οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
32 So those who were sent went and found things as He had told them.
απελθοντες δε οι απεσταλμενοι ευρον καθως ειπεν αυτοις
33 And while they were untying the colt the owners called out, "Why are you untying the colt?"
λυοντων δε αυτων τον πωλον ειπον οι κυριοι αυτου προς αυτους τι λυετε τον πωλον
34 and they replied, "The Master needs it."
οι δε ειπον ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
35 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their outer garments on the colt they placed Jesus on it.
και ηγαγον αυτον προς τον ιησουν και επιρριψαντες εαυτων τα ιματια επι τον πωλον επεβιβασαν τον ιησουν
36 So He rode on, while they carpeted the road with their garments.
πορευομενου δε αυτου υπεστρωννυον τα ιματια αυτων εν τη οδω
37 And when He was now getting near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began in their joy to praise God in loud voices for all the mighty deeds they had witnessed.
εγγιζοντος δε αυτου ηδη προς τη καταβασει του ορους των ελαιων ηρξαντο απαν το πληθος των μαθητων χαιροντες αινειν τον θεον φωνη μεγαλη περι πασων ων ειδον δυναμεων
38 "Blessed is the King," they cried, "who comes in the name of the Lord: in Heaven peace, and glory in the highest realms."
λεγοντες ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος βασιλευς εν ονοματι κυριου ειρηνη εν ουρανω και δοξα εν υψιστοις
39 Thereupon some of the Pharisees in the crowd appealed to Him, saying, "Rabbi, reprove your disciples."
και τινες των φαρισαιων απο του οχλου ειπον προς αυτον διδασκαλε επιτιμησον τοις μαθηταις σου
40 "I tell you," He replied, "that if they became silent, the very stones would cry out."
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις λεγω υμιν οτι εαν ουτοι σιωπησωσιν οι λιθοι κεκραξονται
41 When He came into full view of the city, He wept aloud over it, and exclaimed,
και ως ηγγισεν ιδων την πολιν εκλαυσεν επ αυτη
42 "O that at this time thou hadst known--yes even thou--what makes peace possible! But now it is hid from thine eyes.
λεγων οτι ει εγνως και συ και γε εν τη ημερα σου ταυτη τα προς ειρηνην σου νυν δε εκρυβη απο οφθαλμων σου
43 For the time is coming upon thee when thy foes will throw up around thee earthworks and a wall, investing thee and hemming thee in on every side.
οτι ηξουσιν ημεραι επι σε και περιβαλουσιν οι εχθροι σου χαρακα σοι και περικυκλωσουσιν σε και συνεξουσιν σε παντοθεν
44 And they will dash thee to the ground and thy children within thee, and will not leave one stone upon another within thee; because thou hast not recognized the time of thy visitation."
και εδαφιουσιν σε και τα τεκνα σου εν σοι και ουκ αφησουσιν εν σοι λιθον επι λιθω ανθ ων ουκ εγνως τον καιρον της επισκοπης σου
45 Then Jesus entered the Temple and proceeded to drive out the dealers.
και εισελθων εις το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τους πωλουντας εν αυτω και αγοραζοντας
46 "It is written," He said, "'And My house shall be the House of Prayer,' but you have made it a robbers' cave."
λεγων αυτοις γεγραπται ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης εστιν υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
47 And day after day He taught in the Temple, while the High Priests and the Scribes were devising some means of destroying Him, as were also the leading men of the people.
και ην διδασκων το καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω οι δε αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις εζητουν αυτον απολεσαι και οι πρωτοι του λαου
48 But they could not find any way of doing it, for the people all hung upon His lips.
και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησωσιν ο λαος γαρ απας εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων
