Luke 19
1 And having entered He was passing through Jericho.
Jesus and his disciples entered Jericho and were going through the [city].
2 And behold a man by name being called Zacchaeus and he himself was a chief tax collector and (he himself *N(k)O*) (was *k*) rich;
There was a man [there] named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, who was rich.
3 And he was seeking to see Jesus who He is and not he was able because of the crowd, because in stature small he was.
He tried to see Jesus, but he was very short, and there was a big crowd of people [near Jesus]. So he was not able to see him.
4 And having run (to the *no*) front he went up into a sycamore-fig tree so that he may see Him, for (through *k*) that [way] He was soon to pass.
So he ran further ahead [along the road] that Jesus was walking on. He climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see Jesus.
5 And as He came to the place, having looked up Jesus (he saw him and *K*) said to him; Zacchaeus, having hurried do come down; today for in the house of you it behooves Me to stay.
When Jesus got there, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, because [God wants] me to go [with you(sg)] to your house and stay there [tonight]”!
6 And having hurried he came down and received Him rejoicing.
So he came down quickly. [He took Jesus to his house] and welcomed him joyfully.
7 And having seen [it] (all *N(k)O*) were grumbling saying that With a sinful man He has entered to stay.
The people [who saw Jesus go there] grumbled saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner!”
8 Having stood then Zacchaeus said to the Lord; Behold the half my possessions Lord, to the poor I give; and if of anyone anything I have defrauded, I restore [it] fourfold.
Then Zacchaeus stood up [while they were eating] and said to the Lord [Jesus], “Lord, I want you [(sg)] to know that I am going to give half of what I own to poor people. And as for the people whom I have cheated, I will pay them back four times the amount [I have gotten from them by cheating].”
9 Said then to him Jesus that Today salvation to the house this has come, because also he himself a son of Abraham is;
Jesus said to him, “Today [God] has forgiven [PRS] [you and the other people in] [MTY] this house, because you [(sg)] also [have shown that you have trusted in God as] your ancestor Abraham [did].
10 Came for the Son of Man to seek and to save that having been lost.
Remember this: [I], the one who came from heaven, came to seek and save [people like you(sg)] who have [gone astray from God, just like a shepherd who searches for his] lost [sheep].”
11 When are hearing now they these things having proceeded He spoke a parable because near being to Jerusalem He and thinking they that immediately is about the kingdom of God to appear.
They were coming near to Jerusalem, and the people who were [going with Jesus] who heard him say these things thought that as soon as [he got to Jerusalem] he would become their king.
12 He said therefore; A man certain of noble birth proceeded to a country distant to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
[So] he told them this parable: “A prince prepared to go to a distant country in order that [the Emperor] would make him a king. [He intended] to return later.
13 Having called then ten servants his own he gave to them ten minas and said to them; (Do trade *NK(o)*) (in that *NO*) (until *k*) I come back.
[Before he left], he summoned ten of his servants. He gave each of them a coin worth three months’ wages. He said to them, ‘Do business with these coins until I return!’ [Then he left].
14 But the citizens of him were hating him and sent a delegation after him saying; Not we are willing [for] this [man] to reign over us.
But [many of] his fellow-citizens hated him. So after he left they sent some messengers to tell [the Emperor], ‘We [(exc)] do not want this man to be our king!’
15 And it came to pass on the returning of him having received the kingdom that he directed to be called to him servants these to whom (he had given *N(k)O*) the money, in order that he may know (who *k*) what (they had gained by trading. *N(k)O*)
But [the Emperor] made him king anyway. [Later] the [new king] returned. Then he commanded that the servants to whom he had given the coins should be summoned {that someone should summon the servants to whom he had given the coins}. He wanted to know how much they had gained by doing business with the coins.
16 Came up then the first saying; lord, the mina of you ten (has produced *N(k)O*) more minas.
The first man came [to him] and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned ten more [coins]!’
17 And He said to him; (well done *N(k)O*) good servant! Because in very little faithful you were, do be having authority you are over ten cities.
He said to this man, ‘[You are a] good servant! [You have] done [very] well! Because you have [handled] faithfully a small amount [of money, I will give you] authority [to rule] ten cities.’
18 And came the second saying; The mina of you, lord, has made five minas.
Then the second servant came and said, ‘Sir, with your one coin [I] have earned five more [coins]!’
19 He said then also to this one; And you yourself over do be five cities.
He said to that servant similarly, ‘[Good! I will give you authority to rule] five cities.’
20 And (*no*) another came saying; lord, behold the mina of you which I was keeping lying in a piece of cloth;
Then another servant came. He said, ‘Sir, here is your coin. I wrapped it in a napkin and put it away, [so that nothing would happen to it].
21 I was afraid for of you, because a man harsh you are; You take up what not you did lay down and you reap what not you did sow.
I did that [because] I was afraid [of what you would do to me if the business failed. I know] you are a man who does not do foolish things with your money. You [even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.’
22 He says (now *k*) to him; Out of the mouth of you I will judge you, evil servant. You knew that I myself a man harsh am taking up what not I did lay down and reaping what not I did sow;
The king said to that servant, ‘You wicked servant! I will condemn you by the very words [MTY] that you [have just now spoken]. (You know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]./Did you not know that I do not [do foolish things with my money]?) [RHQ] [You said] that I [even] take [from others money] that does not really [belong to me], [like a farmer who] harvests grain [from another man’s field] where he did not [even] do the planting.
23 Then because of why not did you give my money to (the *k*) bank, and I myself and I myself having come with interest maybe it collected
So (you should at least have given my money to money lenders!/why did you not [at least] give my money to bankers?) [RHQ] Then [when I returned] I could have collected that amount plus the interest [it would have earned]!’
24 And to those having stood by he said; do take from him the mina and do give [it] to the [one] the ten minas having.
Then [the king] said to those who were standing near, ‘Take the coin from him and give it to [the servant] who has ten coins!’
25 And they said to him; Master, he has ten minas.
They protested, ‘But Sir, he already has ten [coins]!’
26 I say (for *ko*) to you that to everyone who is having will be given, from however the [one] not having even that which he has will be taken away (from of him. *ko*)
[But the king said], ‘I tell you this: To the people who [use well what] they have [received], more will be given {[I] will give more}. But from the people who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away {[I] will take away even what they already have}.
27 Furthermore the enemies of mine (these *N(k)O*) those not having been willing [for] me to reign over them do bring here and do slay them before me.
Now, [as for] those enemies of mine who did not want me to rule over them, bring them here and execute them while I am watching!’”
28 And having said these things He was going on ahead going up to Jerusalem.
After [Jesus] said those things, he [continued on the road] up to Jerusalem, going ahead of his disciples.
29 And it came to pass as He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany toward the mount which is being called Olivet He sent two of the disciples (of him *ko*)
When they got near Bethphage and Bethany [villages], near the hill that is called {that they call} Olive [Tree] Hill,
30 (speaking; *N(k)O*) do go into the ahead village, in which entering you will find a colt tied on which no [one] ever yet of men has sat; (and *no*) having untied it do bring [it].
he said to two of [his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead [of you]. As you [two] enter [it], you will see a young animal that no one has ever ridden, that has been {someone has} tied up. Untie it and bring it [to me].
31 And if anyone you shall ask; Because of why do you untie [it]? thus will you say (to him: *k*) Because the Lord of it need has.’
If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say [to him], ‘The Lord needs it.’”
32 Having departed then those sent found [it] even as He had said to them.
[So] the [two disciples] went [to the village] and found the [animal], just like he had told them.
33 When are untying then they the colt said the masters of it to them; Why untie you the colt?
As they were untying it, its owners said to them, “Why are you two untying that young animal?”
34 And they said: (that *no*) The Lord of it need has.
They replied, “The Lord needs it.” [So the owners said that they could take it].
35 And they led it to Jesus, and having cast (their *N(k)O*) garments on the colt they put on [it] Jesus.
The [two disciples] brought [the animal] to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the animal’s back [for him to sit on] and helped Jesus get on it.
36 When is going then He they were spreading the garments (of them *NK(o)*) on the road.
Then as he rode along, [others] spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him].
37 When is drawing near then he already at the descent of the Mount of Olives began all the multitude of the disciples rejoicing to praise God in a voice loud for (all *NK(o)*) which they had seen [the] mighty works
As they came near [to Jerusalem], on the road that descends from Olive [Tree] Hill, the whole crowd of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God loudly for all the great miracles that they had seen [Jesus do].
38 saying: Blessed [is] the coming King in [the] name of [the] Lord; In heaven peace, and glory in [the] highest.
They were saying things like, “May the Lord [God] bless our king who comes representing [MTY] him!” “May there be peace [between God] in heaven [and us his people]!” “May [everyone] praise God!”
39 And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him; Teacher, do rebuke the disciples of You.
Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples [for saying things like that]!”
40 And answering He said (to them: *ko*) I say to you (that *ko*) if these (will be silent, *N(k)O*) the stones (will cry out. *N(k)O*)
He replied, “I tell you this: If these people would be silent, the stones themselves would shout [to praise me]!”
41 And as He drew near, having seen the city He wept over (it *N(k)O*)
When [Jesus] came near [to] Jerusalem and saw the city, he cried about [its people].
42 saying that If you had known (and indeed *k*) in the day (of you *k*) this even you yourself the [things] for peace (of you; *ko*) Now however they are hidden from eyes of you.
He said, “[My disciples know what they need to do] to have peace [with God]; I wish that even today [the rest of] you people knew it. But now you are unable to know [MTY] it.
43 For will come days upon you that (will cast around *N(k)O*) the enemies of you a barricade you and they will surround you and they will hem in you on every side
I want you to know this: Soon [your enemies] will come and will set up a barricade around your [city]. They will surround [the city] and attack [it] on all sides.
44 and will level to the ground you and the children of you within you and not will leave a stone upon (a stone *N(k)O*) within you, because which not you knew the season of visitation of you.
They will [break through] the walls [and] destroy everything. They will smash you and your people/children. [When they finish destroying everything], there will not be one stone left on top of another. [All this will happen] because you did not recognize the time when God sent his [Messiah] to [save] you!”
45 And having entered into the temple He began to cast out those selling (in to it *k*) (and buying *K*)
[Jesus entered Jerusalem and] went into the Temple [courtyard]. He saw the people who were selling [things there],
46 saying to them; It has been written: (And *no*) (will be *N(k)O*) the house of Mine a house of prayer’; You yourselves however it made a den of robbers.’
and he began to chase them out. He said to them, “It has been written {[A prophet] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be a place where people pray’; but you bandits have made it a cave where you can [hide]!”
47 And He was teaching every day in the temple; the however chief priests and the scribes were seeking Him to destroy and the foremost of the people,
Each day [during that week Jesus] was teaching people in the Temple [courtyard]. The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and [other Jewish] leaders tried to find a way to kill him.
48 And not they were finding what they may do; the people for all were hanging on His [words] listening.
But they did not find any way to do it, because all the people there listened eagerly to him [and would have resisted them if they had tried to hurt him].
