Luke 19
1 And, having entered, he was passing through Jericho;
So he entered Jericho and was passing through the town.
2 and lo! a man, by name called Zacchaeus, and, he, was a chief tax-collector, and [he] was rich.
There was a man there, called Zaccheus, who was a chief of the tax- gatherers, and was wealthy.
3 And he was seeking to see Jesus, what sort of man he was, and could not for the multitude, because, in stature, he was, small.
And he kept trying to see what sort of a man Jesus was; but he could not see because he was short.
4 And, running forward unto the front, he got up a sycamore-tree, that he might see him; for, by that way, was he about to pass.
So he ran on before him and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him; for he was about to pass that way.
5 And, as he came up to the place, looking up, Jesus said unto him—Zacchaeus! make haste, and come down; For, to-day, in thy house, I must needs abide.
As soon as Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Come down quickly, Zaccheus, for today I must stay at your house."
6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
He made haste to climb down, and receive him joyfully.
7 And all, when they beheld, began to murmur, saying—With a sinful man, hath he gone in to lodge!
When they all saw it, they began to complain, saying "He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner."
8 But, taking his stand, Zacchaeus said unto the Lord—Lo! the half of my possessions, Lord, unto the destitute, I give; and, if, from anyone, I have taken aught by false accusation, I give back fourfold.
But Zaccheus stood up and said to the Lord, "I give half my property to the poor, Lord, and if I have defrauded any man of anything I am restoring it to him fourfold."
9 And Jesus said unto him—This day, salvation, unto this house, hath come, —for that, he too, is, a son of Abraham;
"Today is salvation come to this house," said Jesus "since Zaccheus here is a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man came, to seek and to save what was lost.
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save the lost."
11 And, because they were hearing these things, he added and spake a parable, because of his being near Jerusalem, and their supposing that, instantly, was the kingdom of God to shine forth.
As they were listening to his words he added this parable, because he was near Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear.
12 He said, therefore—A certain man, of noble birth, went into a country far away, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
So he said. "A certain nobleman went abroad to receive for himself royal power and to return.
13 And, calling ten servants of his own, he gave unto them ten minas, and said unto them—Do business, till I come.
"And he summoned ten slaves of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, "‘Trade with these until I come.’
14 But, his citizens, hated him, and sent off an embassy after him, saying—We desire not, this, man, to be made king over us!
"But this fellow citizens hated him, and sent a deputation after him to say, ‘We do not wish this man to become our king.’
15 And it came to pass, when he returned, having received the kingdom, that he bade be called unto him these servants, to whom he had given the silver, that he might take note, what business they had done.
"And upon his return after he had secured the royal power, he ordered the slaves to whom he had given the money to be called in, so that he might know what they had gained by trading.
16 And the first came near, saying—Lord! thy mina, hath made, ten minas.
"And the first came before him, saying, ‘Master, your pound has made ten pounds.’
17 And he said to him—Well done! good servant. Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, ten cities.
"And he said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying—Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas.
"And the second came and said, ‘Master, your pound has made five pounds.’
19 And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities.
"Then he said to him also, ‘You shall be over five cities.’
20 And, the other, came, saying—Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by in a napkin;
"And the next came to him and said, ‘Here master is your pound which I was keeping safe in a napkin.
21 For I was afraid of thee, because, a harsh man, thou art, —Thou takest up, what thou layedst not down, and reapest, what thou sowedst not!
"‘For I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take what you did not sow.’
22 He saith to him—Out of thy mouth, do I judge thee, O wicked servant! Thou knewest that, I, a harsh man, am, —taking up, what I laid not down, and reaping, what I did not sow;
"He said to him, "‘By your own words I will Judge you, you wicked slave. You knew, did you, that I was a hard man taking up what I did not lay down, reaping what I did not sow.
23 Wherefore, then, didst thou not place my silver upon a [money-changer’s] table, and, I, when I came, with interest might have exacted it?
"‘Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?’
24 And, unto the by-standers, he said—Take, from him, the mina, and give unto him that hath, the ten minas; —
"Then to those who stood by, he said, ‘Take the pounds from him and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 And they said to him, Lord! he hath ten minas; —
"‘Master,’ they said to him, ‘he already has ten pounds.’
26 I tell you—Unto everyone that hath, shall be given, whereas, from him that hath not, even what he hath, shall be taken away.
"‘I tell you that to every one who has it shall be given; and from him who has not shall be taken away even what he has.
27 But, these mine enemies who desired not that I should be made king over them, bring ye here, and slay them outright before me.
"‘Howbeit these enemies of mine who were not willing for me to become their King, bring them here, and slay them in my presence.’"
28 And, having said these things, he was moving on in front, going up into Jerusalem.
When he had so spoken he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, as he drew near unto Bethphage, and Bethany, unto the mount which is called the Mount of Olives, he sent off two of his disciples,
When he was come near Bethphage and Bethany at the mount called The Olive Orchard,
30 saying—Go your way unto the opposite village, in which, as ye are entering, ye shall find a colt, bound, whereon, no man, hath, ever sat, —and, having loosed him, bring him.
he sent two of his disciples saying. "Go into the village in the front, and on entering it you will find an ass’s colt tied, on which no one has ever ridden.
31 And, if any one question you—Wherefore are ye loosing him? thus, shall ye say—His Lord, hath, need.
"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, ‘Why are you untying the colt?’ Simply say, ‘The Master needs it.’"
32 And they who were sent, departing, found as he had said to them.
Then those who were sent out and found it as he had told them.
33 And, as they were loosing the colt, his lords said unto them—Why are ye loosing the colt?
For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
34 And, they, said—His Lord, hath, need.
They answered, "The Master needs it."
35 And they brought him unto Jesus; and, throwing their mantles over the colt, they seated Jesus thereon.
So they led it to Jesus, and, after throwing their outer garments on the colt, they placed Jesus on it.
36 And, as he moved along, they were spreading their own mantles in the way.
So he rode on, while they kept throwing their garments in the way.
37 And, when he was drawing near, already, unto the descent of the Mount of Olives, one-and-all the throng of the disciples began joyfully to be praising God with a loud voice, concerning all the mighty works which they had seen;
And when now he was coming near Jerusalem, and descending the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice, and to praise God with a loud voice for the almighty works they had seen.
38 saying—Blessed is he that cometh… The king! In the name of the Lord! In heaven, peace! And glory in the highest!
They cried, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven and glory in the Highest"
39 And, certain of the Pharisees from the multitude, said unto him—Teacher! rebuke thy disciples.
And some of the Pharisees said to them out of the crowd, "Teacher reprove your disciples!"
40 And he answered and said—I tell you—If, these, shall hold their peace, the stones, will cry out.
"I tell you," he answered, "that if these should hold their peace, the very stones would cry out."
41 And, when he drew near, beholding the city, he wept over it, saying—
And when he came into view of the city, as he approached it he broke into loud weeping,
42 If thou hadst got to know, in this day, even thou, the conditions of peace… But, now, are they hid from thine eyes:
exclaiming. "Oh that at this time you knew, yes, even you, on what your peace depends! But now it is hidden from your eyes.
43 Because days will have come upon thee, that thine enemies will throw around a rampart against thee, and enclose thee; and hem thee in from every side, —
"The time will come for you when your enemies will throw ramparts around you, and encompass you, and shut you in on every side, and raze you to the ground,
44 And will level thee with the ground, and thy children within thee, and will not leave, stone on stone, within thee: because thou didst not get to know the season of thy visitation.
"you and your children within you. And they will not leave in you one stone upon the another. Because you knew not the time of your visitation."
45 And, entering into the temple, he began to be casting out them who were selling;
Then Jesus went into the Temple and began to drive out dealers,
46 saying unto them—It is written, And, my house, shall be, a house of prayer; but, ye, have made, it, a den of robbers.
saying, "It is written, "The house of God shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of robbers."
47 And he was teaching day by day in the temple; but, the High-priests and the Scribes, also the chiefs of the people, were seeking to destroy him, —
Day after day he continued to teach in the Temple. The high priests and scribes tried to have him put to death, so did the rulers of the people.
48 and could not find what they might do, for, the people, one and all, were hanging upon him, as they hearkened.
But they could not find how to do it, for the people all hung upon him, listening to him.
