Κατα Λουκαν 19
1 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν, διήρχετο τὴν Ἰεριχώ.
He entered and was passing through Jericho.
2 Καὶ ἰδοὺ, ἀνὴρ ὀνόματι καλούμενος Ζακχαῖος, καὶ αὐτὸς ἦν ἀρχιτελώνης, καὶ αὐτὸς πλούσιος.
And look, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
3 Καὶ ἐζήτει ἰδεῖν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν τίς ἐστιν, καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου, ὅτι τῇ ἡλικίᾳ μικρὸς ἦν.
He was trying to see who Jesus was, and could not because of the crowd, because he was short.
4 Καὶ προδραμὼν ἔμπροσθεν, ἀνέβη ἐπὶ συκομορέαν, ἵνα ἴδῃ αὐτόν, ὅτι ἐκείνης ἤμελλεν διέρχεσθαι.
He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.
5 Καὶ ὡς ἦλθεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, ἀναβλέψας, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν, “Ζακχαῖε, σπεύσας κατάβηθι, σήμερον γὰρ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου δεῖ με μεῖναι.”
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 Καὶ σπεύσας, κατέβη καὶ ὑπεδέξατο αὐτὸν χαίρων.
He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
7 Καὶ ἰδόντες, πάντες διεγόγγυζον λέγοντες, ὅτι “Παρὰ ἁμαρτωλῷ ἀνδρὶ εἰσῆλθεν καταλῦσαι.”
And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 Σταθεὶς δὲ, Ζακχαῖος εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ˚Κύριον, “Ἰδοὺ, τὰ ἡμίσιά μου τῶν ὑπαρχόντων, ˚Κύριε, τοῖς πτωχοῖς δίδωμι, καὶ εἴ τινός τι ἐσυκοφάντησα, ἀποδίδωμι τετραπλοῦν.”
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 Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς, ὅτι “Σήμερον σωτηρία τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ ἐγένετο, καθότι καὶ αὐτὸς υἱὸς Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν.
Jesus said to him, "Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 Ἦλθεν γὰρ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός.”
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost."
11 Ἀκουόντων δὲ αὐτῶν ταῦτα προσθεὶς, εἶπεν παραβολὴν διὰ τὸ ἐγγὺς εἶναι Ἰερουσαλὴμ αὐτὸν, καὶ δοκεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι παραχρῆμα μέλλει ἡ Βασιλεία τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ ἀναφαίνεσθαι.
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 Εἶπεν οὖν, “Ἄνθρωπός τις εὐγενὴς ἐπορεύθη εἰς χώραν μακρὰν, λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν καὶ ὑποστρέψαι.
He said therefore, "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Καλέσας δὲ δέκα δούλους ἑαυτοῦ, ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς δέκα μνᾶς, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς, ‘Πραγματεύσασθαι ἐν ᾧ ἔρχομαι.’
He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, 'Conduct business until I come.'
14 Οἱ δὲ πολῖται αὐτοῦ ἐμίσουν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν πρεσβείαν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ λέγοντες, ‘Οὐ θέλομεν τοῦτον βασιλεῦσαι ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.’
But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, 'We do not want this man to reign over us.'
15 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐπανελθεῖν αὐτὸν, λαβόντα τὴν βασιλείαν, καὶ εἶπεν φωνηθῆναι αὐτῷ τοὺς δούλους τούτους οἷς δεδώκει τὸ ἀργύριον, ἵνα γνοῖ τί διεπραγματεύσαντο.
"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 Παρεγένετο δὲ ὁ πρῶτος λέγων, ‘Κύριε, ἡ μνᾶ σου, δέκα προσηργάσατο μνᾶς.’
The first came before him, saying, 'Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.'
17 Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, ‘Εὖ ἀγαθὲ δοῦλε! Ὅτι ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ, πιστὸς ἐγένου, ἴσθι ἐξουσίαν ἔχων ἐπάνω δέκα πόλεων.’
"And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant. Because you were faithful with very little, you will have authority over ten cities.'
18 Καὶ ἦλθεν ὁ δεύτερος λέγων, ‘Ἡ μνᾶ σου, Κύριε, ἐποίησεν πέντε μνᾶς.’
"The second came, saying, 'Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.'
19 Εἶπεν δὲ καὶ τούτῳ, ‘Καὶ σὺ ἐπάνω γίνου πέντε πόλεων.’
"So he said to him, 'And you are to be over five cities.'
20 Καὶ ὁ ἕτερος ἦλθεν λέγων, ‘Κύριε, ἰδοὺ, ἡ μνᾶ σου, ἣν εἶχον ἀποκειμένην ἐν σουδαρίῳ.
Another came, saying, 'Lord, look, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
21 Ἐφοβούμην γάρ σε, ὅτι ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρὸς εἶ, αἴρεις ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκας, καὶ θερίζεις ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρας.’
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 Λέγει αὐτῷ, ‘Ἐκ τοῦ στόματός σου κρίνω σε, πονηρὲ δοῦλε. ἬΙδεις ὅτι ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος αὐστηρός εἰμι, αἴρων ὃ οὐκ ἔθηκα, καὶ θερίζων ὃ οὐκ ἔσπειρα;
"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 Καὶ διὰ τί οὐκ ἔδωκάς μου τὸ ἀργύριον ἐπὶ τράπεζαν, κἀγὼ ἐλθὼν, σὺν τόκῳ ἂν αὐτὸ ἔπραξα;’
Then why did you not deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?'
24 Καὶ τοῖς παρεστῶσιν εἶπεν, ‘Ἄρατε ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ τὴν μνᾶν, καὶ δότε τῷ, τὰς δέκα μνᾶς ἔχοντι.’
He said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.'
25 Καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, ‘Κύριε, ἔχει δέκα μνᾶς.’
"They said to him, 'Lord, he has ten minas.'
26 Λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι παντὶ τῷ ἔχοντι, δοθήσεται, ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ μὴ ἔχοντος, καὶ ὃ ἔχει ἀρθήσεται.
'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 Πλὴν τοὺς ἐχθρούς μου τούτους, τοὺς μὴ θελήσαντάς με βασιλεῦσαι ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, ἀγάγετε ὧδε καὶ κατασφάξατε αὐτοὺς ἔμπροσθέν μου.”
But bring those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.'"
28 Καὶ εἰπὼν ταῦτα ἐπορεύετο ἔμπροσθεν ἀναβαίνων εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
29 Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤγγισεν εἰς Βηθφαγὴ καὶ Βηθανιὰ, πρὸς τὸ ὄρος τὸ καλούμενον Ἐλαιῶν, ἀπέστειλεν δύο τῶν μαθητῶν
It happened, when he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,
30 λέγων, “Ὑπάγετε εἰς τὴν κατέναντι κώμην, ἐν ᾗ εἰσπορευόμενοι εὑρήσετε πῶλον δεδεμένον, ἐφʼ ὃν οὐδεὶς πώποτε ἀνθρώπων ἐκάθισεν, καὶ λύσαντες αὐτὸν, ἀγάγετε.
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 Καὶ ἐάν τις ὑμᾶς ἐρωτᾷ, ‘Διὰ τί λύετε;’ Οὕτως ἐρεῖτε, ὅτι ‘Ὁ ˚Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.’”
If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' say to him: 'Because the Lord needs it.'"
32 Ἀπελθόντες δὲ οἱ ἀπεσταλμένοι εὗρον καθὼς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς.
Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.
33 Λυόντων δὲ αὐτῶν τὸν πῶλον, εἶπαν οἱ κύριοι αὐτοῦ πρὸς αὐτούς, “Τί λύετε τὸν πῶλον;”
As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, ὅτι “Ὁ ˚Κύριος αὐτοῦ χρείαν ἔχει.”
They said, "Because the Lord needs it."
35 Καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐπιρίψαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον, ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν ˚Ἰησοῦν.
They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.
36 Πορευομένου δὲ αὐτοῦ, ὑπεστρώννυον τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτῶν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ.
As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.
37 Ἐγγίζοντος δὲ αὐτοῦ ἤδη πρὸς τῇ καταβάσει τοῦ Ὄρους τῶν Ἐλαιῶν, ἤρξαντο ἅπαν τὸ πλῆθος τῶν μαθητῶν χαίροντες αἰνεῖν τὸν ˚Θεὸν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ περὶ πασῶν ὧν εἶδον δυνάμεων
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 λέγοντες, “‘Εὐλογημένος ὁ ἐρχόμενος ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν ὀνόματι ˚Κυρίου’· ἐν οὐρανῷ εἰρήνη καὶ δόξα ἐν ὑψίστοις.”
saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord. Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest."
39 Καί τινες τῶν Φαρισαίων ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄχλου εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν, “Διδάσκαλε, ἐπιτίμησον τοῖς μαθηταῖς σου.”
Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."
40 Καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, “Λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν οὗτοι σιωπήσουσιν, οἱ λίθοι κράξουσιν.”
He answered them, "I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out."
41 Καὶ ὡς ἤγγισεν, ἰδὼν τὴν πόλιν, ἔκλαυσεν ἐπʼ αὐτήν
When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,
42 λέγων, ὅτι “Εἰ ἔγνως ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ, καὶ σὺ, τὰ πρὸς εἰρήνην· νῦν δὲ ἐκρύβη ἀπὸ ὀφθαλμῶν σου.
saying, "If you, even you, had known today the things that make for peace. But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
43 Ὅτι ἥξουσιν ἡμέραι ἐπὶ σὲ, καὶ περιβαλοῦσιν οἱ ἐχθροί σου χάρακά σοι, καὶ περικυκλώσουσίν σε καὶ συνέξουσίν σε πάντοθεν,
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 καὶ ἐδαφιοῦσίν σε καὶ τὰ τέκνα σου ἐν σοί, καὶ οὐκ ἀφήσουσιν λίθον ἐπὶ λίθον ἐν σοί, ἀνθʼ ὧν οὐκ ἔγνως τὸν καιρὸν τῆς ἐπισκοπῆς 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 Καὶ εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν, ἤρξατο ἐκβάλλειν τοὺς πωλοῦντας,
And he entered into the temple, and began to drive out those who were selling and buying in it,
46 λέγων αὐτοῖς, “Γέγραπται, ‘Ὁ οἶκός μου οἶκος προσευχῆς’, ὑμεῖς δὲ αὐτὸν ἐποιήσατε ‘σπήλαιον λῃστῶν’.”
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 Καὶ ἦν διδάσκων τὸ καθʼ ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἀπολέσαι καὶ οἱ πρῶτοι τοῦ λαοῦ,
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 καὶ οὐχ εὕρισκον τὸ τί ποιήσωσιν, ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἅπας ἐξεκρέμετο αὐτοῦ ἀκούων.
They could not find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
