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
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 Yeshua was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 και προδραμων εμπροσθεν ανεβη επι συκομωραιαν ινα ιδη αυτον οτι εκεινησ εμελλεν διερχεσθαι
He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going 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
When Yeshua 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.”
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
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
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.”
9 ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο ιησουσ οτι σημερον σωτηρια τω οικω τουτω εγενετο καθοτι και αυτοσ υιοσ αβρααμ εστιν
Yeshua 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 God’s Kingdom 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 don’t 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
“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.
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
“He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall 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, behold, 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 didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t 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 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.
23 και δια τι ουκ εδωκασ το αργυριον μου επι τραπεζαν και εγω ελθων συν τοκω αν επραξα αυτο
Then why didn’t you 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 doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
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 didn’t 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
When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his 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, which no man has ever sat upon. 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: ‘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, “The Lord needs it.”
35 και ηγαγον αυτον προσ τον ιησουν και επιρριψαντεσ εαυτων τα ιματια επι τον πωλον επεβιβασαν τον ιησουν
Then they brought it to Yeshua. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Yeshua on them.
36 πορευομενου δε αυτου υπεστρωννυον τα ιματια αυτων εν τη οδω
As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
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 multitude 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 multitude said to him, “Rabbi, 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 came 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 which belong to your 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 didn’t know the time of your visitation.”
45 και εισελθων εισ το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τουσ πωλουντασ εν αυτω και αγοραζοντασ
He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
46 λεγων αυτοισ γεγραπται ο οικοσ μου οικοσ προσευχησ εστιν υμεισ δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is 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, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
48 και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησωσιν ο λαοσ γαρ απασ εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων
They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
