| [1]And as Jesus entered and passed through Jericho, |
[1]AND when Jesus entered and passed through Jericho, |
| [2][there was] a certain man, whose name was Zaccheus, who was rich, and chief of the publicans; |
[2]There was a man named Zacchaeus, who was rich and chief of the publicans. |
| [3]and he wished to see Jesus, who he was; and could not, on account of the crowd; because Zaccheus was small in stature. |
[3]And he wanted to see who Jesus was; but he could not because of the crowd, for Zacchaeus was small in his stature. |
| [4]And he ran forward of Jesus, and climbed a wild fig-tree, in order to see him; for he was to pass that way. |
[4]So he ran ahead of Jesus, and climbed up into a fig tree without leaves, that he might see him, because he was to pass that way. |
| [5]And when Jesus came to the place, he saw him, and said to him: Make haste and come down, Zaccheus; for I must be at thy house to-day. |
[5]When Jesus came to that place, he saw him and said to him, Make haste, come down, O Zacchaeus, for today I must remain in your house. |
| [6]And he hastened, and came down, and received him with gladness. |
[6]And he hastened, and came down, and welcomed him with joy. |
| [7]And when they all saw [it], they murmured, and said: He hath gone in to be guest with a man that is a sinner. |
[7]Now when they all saw it, they murmured, saying, He has entered to stay in the house of a sinner. |
| [8]And Zaccheus stood up, and said to Jesus: Behold, my Lord, the half of my riches I give to the poor; and to every man, whom I have wronged in any thing, I restore fourfold. |
[8]But Zacchaeus rose up and said to Jesus, Behold, my Lord, half of my wealth I will give to the poor; and I will pay fourfold to every man from whom I have extorted. |
| [9]Jesus said to him: This day, life is to this house; for he also is a son of Abraham. |
[9]Jesus said to him, Today life has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham. |
| [10]For the Son of man came, to seek and to vivify that which was lost. |
[10]For the Son of man came to seek and save that which was lost. |
| [11]And when they heard these things, he proceeded to utter a similitude; because he was near to Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was to be soon developed. |
[11]While they were listening to these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they were expecting that the kingdom of God would appear at that very hour; |
| [12]And he said: A certain man of high birth was going to a distant place, to obtain royalty, and return again. |
[12]And he said, A great man of a noble family went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and return. |
| [13]And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds: and he said to them, Traffic until I come. |
[13]And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Do business until I come back. |
| [14]But the inhabitants of his city hated him; and they sent envoys after him, saying: We wish this man not to reign over us. |
[14]But the people of his city hated him, and sent messengers after him, saying, We do not want him to rule over us. |
| [15]And when he had obtained the royalty, and had returned, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had committed his money; that he might know what each of them had gained by trading. |
[15]And when he received the kingdom and returned, he commanded to call his servants, to whom he had given the money, that he might know what each one of them had gained in business. |
| [16]And the first came, and said: My Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. |
[16]The first one came and said, My lord, your pound has gained ten pounds. |
| [17]He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns. |
[17]He said to him, O good servant, because you are found faithful in a little, you will have charge over ten talents. |
| [18]And the second came, and said: My lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds. |
[18]And the second came and said, My lord, your pound has gained five pounds. |
| [19]He said likewise to him: Thou also shalt have authority over five towns. |
[19]He said to this one also, You also will have charge over five talents. |
| [20]And another came, and said: My lord, lo, this is thy pound, which hath been with me, laid up in fine linen. |
[20]And another one came and said, My lord, here is your pound which was with me, which I kept laid up in a purse. |
| [21]For I was afraid of thee, because thou art a hard man, and takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou sowedst not. |
[21]For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man; you pick up what you have not laid down, and you reap what you have not sown. |
| [22]He said to him: Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, thou evil servant. Thou knewest me, that I am a hard man, and that I take up what I laid not down, and reap what I sowed not! |
[22]He said to him, I will judge you from your own mouth, O wicked servant. You knew me that I am a harsh man, and pick up what I have not laid down, and reap what I have not sown. |
| [23]Why didst thou not put my money into the broker's hands, that when I came, I might have demanded it with interest? |
[23]Why then did you not give my money to the exchange, so that when I came I could demand it with its interest? |
| [24]And he said to them that stood before him: Take from him the pound, and give it to him with whom are the ten pounds. |
[24]And he said to those who stood in his presence, Take away the pound from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds. |
| [25]They say to him: Our lord, there are with him ten pounds. |
[25]They said to him, Our lord, he has already with him ten pounds. |
| [26]He said to them: I tell you, that to every one that hath, will be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath will be taken away. |
[26]He said to them, I say to you, to everyone who has shall be given; and from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken away from him. |
| [27]But as for those my enemies, who would not have me to reign over them, bring them and slay them before me. |
[27]But those my enemies, who were not willing that I should rule over them, bring them here, and kill them before me. |
| [28]And when Jesus had spoken these things, he went forward, to go to Jerusalem. |
[28]And when Jesus had said these things, he went forward to go to Jerusalem. |
| [29]And when he arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, near to the mount called the place of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, |
[29]And when he arrived at Bethphage and Bethany, on the side of the mountain which is called the Home of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, |
| [30]and said to them: Go ye to the village that is over against us, and as ye enter [it], ye will find a colt tied, on which no man ever rode; loose [him] and bring [him]. |
[30]And he said to them, Go to the village which is in front of us; and when you enter it you will find a colt tied up, on which no man has ever ridden; untie it and bring it. |
| [31]And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? say to him: Our Lord needeth him. |
[31]And if any man should ask you, Why do you untie it? tell him this: Our lord needs it. |
| [32]And they went who were sent, and they found, as he said to them. |
[32]And those who were sent went away, and found just as he had told them. |
| [33]And as they loosed the colt, the owner of him said to them: Why do ye loose that colt? |
[33]And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, Why do you untie the colt? |
| [34]And they said: Because our Lord needeth him. |
[34]And they said to them, Our Lord needs it. |
| [35]And they brought him to Jesus. And they cast their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus upon him. |
[35]And they brought it to Jesus; and they put their garments on the colt, and they set Jesus on it. |
| [36]And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. |
[36]And as he went on, they spread their garments on the road. |
| [37]And when he came near to the descent of the place of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God, with a loud voice, for all the mighty deeds which they had seen. |
[37]And when he came near to the descent of the Mount of the Home of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, praising God with a loud voice, for all the miracles which they had seen, |
| [38]And they said: Blessed be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory on high. |
[38]Saying, Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest. |
| [39]And some of the Pharisees from among the crowd, said to him: Rabbi, rebuke thy disciples. |
[39]But some of the men of the Pharisees who were in the multitude said to him, Teacher, rebuke your disciples. |
| [40]He said to them: I tell you, that, if these should be silent, the stones would cry out. |
[40]He said to them, I say to you, that if these should keep silent, the stones would cry out. |
| [41]And as he drew near, and beheld the city, he wept over it: |
[41]And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it; |
| [42]and said: O, hadst thou known the things that are of thy peace, at least in this thy day: but now they are hidden from thy eyes. |
[42]And he said, If you had only known those who are concerned in your peace, even in this your day! but now they are hidden from your eyes. |
| [43]For the days will come upon thee, when thy enemies will encompass thee, and besiege thee on every side. |
[43]But the days will come to you, when your enemies will surround you, and oppress you from every place, |
| [44]And they will destroy thee, and thy children within thee; and will not leave inthee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. |
[44]And will overthrow you, and your children within you; and they will not leave in you a stone upon a stone; because you did not know the time when you were to be visited. |
| [45]And when he entered the temple, he began to expel those who bought and sold in it. |
[45]And when he entered the temple, he began to put out those who were buying and selling in it; |
| [46]And he said to them: It is written, My house is a house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of robbers. |
[46]And he said to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer; but you have made it a cave of bandits. |
| [47]And he taught daily in the temple: and the chief priests and Scribes and Elders of the people, sought to destroy him. |
[47]And he taught every day in the temple. But the high priests and the scribes and the elders of the people sought to get rid of him; |
| [48]But they found not, what they could do to him; for all the people hung upon him to hear him. |
[48]But they were not able to find what to do to him; for all the people hung around him to hear him. |
