4 And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see Him, because through that [way] He was about to pass by.
5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house.

8 And Zacchæus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold.
And Zaccheus having stood, said to the LORD, “Behold, half of my goods, Lord, I give to the poor, and if I took by false accusation anything of anyone, I give back fourfold.”
9 And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation came to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.
for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
And while they are hearing these things, having added He spoke an allegory, because of His being near to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the Kingdom of God is immediately about to appear.

13 And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us.
and his citizens were hating him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
15 And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.
And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what anyone had done in business.
16 And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more.
And the first came near, saying, Lord, your mina gained ten minas;
17 And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you became faithful in a very little, be having authority over ten cities.
18 And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds.
And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina made five minas;
19 And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities.
and he also said to this one, And you, become [ruler] over five cities.
20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin:
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, your mina, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow.
for I was afraid of you, because you are an austere man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.
22 He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow;
And he says to him, Out of your mouth I will judge you, evil servant: you knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest?
And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, might have received it with interest?
24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds.
And to those standing by he said, Take the mina from him, and give to him having the ten minas—
25 And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.
(and they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas)—
26 I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
for I say to you that to everyone having will be given, and from him not having, also what he has will be taken from him,
27 But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring here and slay before me.”

30 saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him.
having said, “Go away into the village in front of [you], in which, entering in, you will find a colt bound, on which no one of men ever sat, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him.
and if anyone questions you, Why do you loose [it]? Thus you will say to him: The LORD has need of it.”
32 And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as He said to them,
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

And they said, “The LORD has need of it”;
35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon.
and they brought it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they sat Jesus on it.
36 And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.
And as He is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,

and He answering said to them, “I say to you that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out!”
41 And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,
And when He came near, having seen the city, He wept over it,
42 saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
saying, “If you knew, even you, at least in this your day, the things for your peace; but now they were hid from your eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
Because days will come on you, and your enemies will cast a rampart around you, and surround you around, and press you on every side,
44 and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
and lay you low, and your children within you, and they will not leave in you a stone on a stone, because you did not know the time of your inspection.”
