Κατα Λουκαν 19
1 και εισελθων διηρχετο την ιεριχω
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι καλουμενος ζακχαιος και αυτος ην αρχιτελωνης και ουτος ην πλουσιος
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 και εζητει ιδειν τον ιησουν τις εστιν και ουκ ηδυνατο απο του οχλου οτι τη ηλικια μικρος ην
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 και προδραμων εμπροσθεν ανεβη επι συκομωραιαν ινα ιδη αυτον οτι [δι] εκεινης εμελλεν διερχεσθαι
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 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
And as he came to the place, looking up, Jesus saw him, and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."
6 και σπευσας κατεβη και υπεδεξατο αυτον χαιρων
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 και ιδοντες παντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 σταθεις δε ζακχαιος ειπεν προς τον κυριον ιδου τα ημιση των υπαρχοντων μου κυριε διδωμι τοις πτωχοις και ει τινος τι εσυκοφαντησα αποδιδωμι τετραπλουν
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much."
9 ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο ιησους οτι σημερον σωτηρια τω οικω τουτω εγενετο καθοτι και αυτος υιος αβρααμ εστιν
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 ηλθεν γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ζητησαι και σωσαι το απολωλος
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 ακουοντων δε αυτων ταυτα προσθεις ειπεν παραβολην δια το εγγυς αυτον ειναι ιερουσαλημ και δοκειν αυτους οτι παραχρημα μελλει η βασιλεια του θεου αναφαινεσθαι
As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.
12 ειπεν ουν ανθρωπος τις ευγενης επορευθη εις χωραν μακραν λαβειν εαυτω βασιλειαν και υποστρεψαι
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 καλεσας δε δεκα δουλους εαυτου εδωκεν αυτοις δεκα μνας και ειπεν προς αυτους πραγματευσασθε εως ερχομαι
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 οι δε πολιται αυτου εμισουν αυτον και απεστειλαν πρεσβειαν οπισω αυτου λεγοντες ου θελομεν τουτον βασιλευσαι εφ ημας
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 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
"It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that 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.
16 παρεγενετο δε ο πρωτος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου προσειργασατο δεκα μνας
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 και ειπεν αυτω ευ αγαθε δουλε οτι εν ελαχιστω πιστος εγενου ισθι εξουσιαν εχων επανω δεκα πολεων
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 και ηλθεν ο δευτερος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου εποιησεν πεντε μνας
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 ειπεν δε και τουτω και συ γινου επανω πεντε πολεων
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 και ετερος ηλθεν λεγων κυριε ιδου η μνα σου ην ειχον αποκειμενην εν σουδαριω
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 εφοβουμην γαρ σε οτι ανθρωπος αυστηρος ει αιρεις ο ουκ εθηκας και θεριζεις ο ουκ εσπειρας
for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you did not lay down, and reap that which you did not sow.'
22 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
"He said to him, 'Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow.
23 και δια τι ουκ εδωκας το αργυριον μου επι τραπεζαν και εγω ελθων συν τοκω αν επραξα αυτο
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 και τοις παρεστωσιν ειπεν αρατε απ αυτου την μναν και δοτε τω τας δεκα μνας εχοντι
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 και ειπον αυτω κυριε εχει δεκα μνας
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι παντι τω εχοντι δοθησεται απο δε του μη εχοντος και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
'For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who does not have, even that which he has will be taken away.
27 πλην τους εχθρους μου εκεινους τους μη θελησαντας με βασιλευσαι επ αυτους αγαγετε ωδε και κατασφαξατε εμπροσθεν μου
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 και ειπων ταυτα επορευετο εμπροσθεν αναβαινων εις ιεροσολυμα
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 και εγενετο ως ηγγισεν εις βηθσφαγη και βηθανιαν προς το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων απεστειλεν δυο των μαθητων αυτου
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 ειπων υπαγετε εις την κατεναντι κωμην εν η εισπορευομενοι ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεις πωποτε ανθρωπων εκαθισεν λυσαντες αυτον αγαγετε
saying, "Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no one ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.
31 και εαν τις υμας ερωτα δια τι λυετε ουτως ερειτε αυτω οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 απελθοντες δε οι απεσταλμενοι ευρον καθως ειπεν αυτοις
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 λυοντων δε αυτων τον πωλον ειπον οι κυριοι αυτου προς αυτους τι λυετε τον πωλον
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 οι δε ειπον ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 και ηγαγον αυτον προς τον ιησουν και επιρριψαντες εαυτων τα ιματια επι τον πωλον επεβιβασαν τον ιησουν
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 πορευομενου δε αυτου υπεστρωννυον τα ιματια αυτων εν τη οδω
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
37 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
As he was now getting near, at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works which they had seen,
38 λεγοντες ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος βασιλευς εν ονοματι κυριου ειρηνη εν ουρανω και δοξα εν υψιστοις
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 και τινες των φαρισαιων απο του οχλου ειπον προς αυτον διδασκαλε επιτιμησον τοις μαθηταις σου
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις λεγω υμιν οτι εαν ουτοι σιωπησωσιν οι λιθοι κεκραξονται
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 και ως ηγγισεν ιδων την πολιν εκλαυσεν επ αυτη
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 λεγων οτι ει εγνως και συ και γε εν τη ημερα σου ταυτη τα προς ειρηνην σου νυν δε εκρυβη απο οφθαλμων σου
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 οτι ηξουσιν ημεραι επι σε και περιβαλουσιν οι εχθροι σου χαρακα σοι και περικυκλωσουσιν σε και συνεξουσιν σε παντοθεν
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,
44 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
and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you did not know the time of your visitation."
45 και εισελθων εις το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τους πωλουντας εν αυτω και αγοραζοντας
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 λεγων αυτοις γεγραπται ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης εστιν υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
saying to them, "It is written, 'And my house will be a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of robbers'."
47 και ην διδασκων το καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω οι δε αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις εζητουν αυτον απολεσαι και οι πρωτοι του λαου
He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leaders among the people sought to destroy him.
48 και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησωσιν ο λαος γαρ απας εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
