Luke 19
1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
και εισελθων διηρχετο την ιεριχω
2 There was a man there, known by the name of Zacchaeus, who was a commissioner of taxes and a rich man.
και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι καλουμενος ζακχαιος και αυτος ην αρχιτελωνης και ουτος ην πλουσιος
3 He tried to see what Jesus was like; but, being short, he was unable to do so because of the crowd.
και εζητει ιδειν τον ιησουν τις εστιν και ουκ ηδυνατο απο του οχλου οτι τη ηλικια μικρος ην
4 So he ran on ahead and climbed into a mulberry tree, to see Jesus, for he knew that he must pass that way.
και προδραμων εμπροσθεν ανεβη επι συκομορεαν ινα ιδη αυτον οτι εκεινης ημελλεν διερχεσθαι
5 When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him: “Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I must stop at your house to-day.”
και ως ηλθεν επι τον τοπον αναβλεψας ο ιησους ειδεν αυτον και ειπεν προς αυτον ζακχαιε σπευσας καταβηθι σημερον γαρ εν τω οικω σου δει με μειναι
6 So Zacchaeus got down quickly, and joyfully welcomed him.
και σπευσας κατεβη και υπεδεξατο αυτον χαιρων
7 On seeing this, every one began to complain: “He has gone to stay with a man who is an outcast.”
και ιδοντες παντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι
8 But Zacchaeus stood forward and said to the Master: “Listen, Master! I will give half my property to the poor, and, if I have defrauded any one of anything, I will give him back four times as much.”
σταθεις δε ζακχαιος ειπεν προς τον κυριον ιδου τα ημιση των υπαρχοντων μου κυριε διδωμι τοις πτωχοις και ει τινος τι εσυκοφαντησα αποδιδωμι τετραπλουν
9 “Salvation has come to this house to-day,” answered Jesus, “for even this man is a son of Abraham.
ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο ιησους οτι σημερον σωτηρια τω οικω τουτω εγενετο καθοτι και αυτος υιος αβρααμ εστιν
10 The Son of Man has come to ‘search for those who are lost’ and to save them.”
ηλθεν γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ζητησαι και σωσαι το απολωλος
11 As the people were listening to this, Jesus went on to tell them a parable. He did so because he was near Jerusalem, and because they thought that the Kingdom of God was going to be proclaimed at once.
ακουοντων δε αυτων ταυτα προσθεις ειπεν παραβολην δια το εγγυς αυτον ειναι ιερουσαλημ και δοκειν αυτους οτι παραχρημα μελλει η βασιλεια του θεου αναφαινεσθαι
12 He said: “A nobleman once went to a distant country to receive his appointment to a Kingdom and then return.
ειπεν ουν ανθρωπος τις ευγενης επορευθη εις χωραν μακραν λαβειν εαυτω βασιλειαν και υποστρεψαι
13 He called ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds each, and told them to trade with them during his absence.
καλεσας δε δεκα δουλους εαυτου εδωκεν αυτοις δεκα μνας και ειπεν προς αυτους πραγματευσασθε εν ω ερχομαι
14 But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say ‘We will not have this man as our King.’
οι δε πολιται αυτου εμισουν αυτον και απεστειλαν πρεσβειαν οπισω αυτου λεγοντες ου θελομεν τουτον βασιλευσαι εφ ημας
15 On his return, after having been appointed King, he directed that the servants to whom he had given his money should be summoned, so that he might learn what amount of trade they had done.
και εγενετο εν τω επανελθειν αυτον λαβοντα την βασιλειαν και ειπεν φωνηθηναι αυτω τους δουλους τουτους οις εδωκεν το αργυριον ινα επιγνω τις τι διεπραγματευσατο
16 The first came up, and said ‘Sir, your ten pounds have made a hundred.’
παρεγενετο δε ο πρωτος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου προσειργασατο δεκα μνας
17 ‘Well done, good servant!’ exclaimed the master. ‘As you have proved trustworthy in a very small matter, I appoint you governor over ten towns.’
και ειπεν αυτω ευ αγαθε δουλε οτι εν ελαχιστω πιστος εγενου ισθι εξουσιαν εχων επανω δεκα πολεων
18 When the second came, he said ‘Your ten pounds, Sir, have produced fifty.’
και ηλθεν ο δευτερος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου εποιησεν πεντε μνας
19 So the master said to him ‘And you I appoint over five towns.’
ειπεν δε και τουτω και συ γινου επανω πεντε πολεων
20 Another servant also came and said ‘Sir, here are your ten pounds; I have kept them put away in a handkerchief.
και ετερος ηλθεν λεγων κυριε ιδου η μνα σου ην ειχον αποκειμενην εν σουδαριω
21 For I was afraid of you, because you are a stern man. You take what you have not planted, and reap what you have not sown.’
εφοβουμην γαρ σε οτι ανθρωπος αυστηρος ει αιρεις ο ουκ εθηκας και θεριζεις ο ουκ εσπειρας και συναγεις οθεν ου διεσκορπισας
22 The master answered ‘Out of your own mouth I judge you, you worthless servant. You knew that I am a stern man, that I take what I have not planted, and reap what I have not sown?
λεγει αυτω εκ του στοματος σου κρινω σε πονηρε δουλε ηδεις οτι ανθρωπος αυστηρος ειμι εγω αιρων ο ουκ εθηκα και θεριζων ο ουκ εσπειρα και συναγων οθεν ου διεσκορπισα
23 Then why did not you put my money into a bank? And I, on my return, could have claimed it with interest.
και διατι ουκ εδωκας το αργυριον μου επι την τραπεζαν και εγω ελθων συν τοκω αν επραξα αυτο
24 Take away from him the ten pounds,’ he said to those standing by, ‘and give them to the one who has the hundred.’
και τοις παρεστωσιν ειπεν αρατε απ αυτου την μναν και δοτε τω τας δεκα μνας εχοντι
25 ‘But, Sir,’ they interposed, ‘he has a hundred pounds already!’
[ και ειπον αυτω κυριε εχει δεκα μνας ]
26 ‘I tell you,’ he answered, ‘that, to him who has, more will be given, but, from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away.
λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι παντι τω εχοντι δοθησεται απο δε του μη εχοντος και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
27 But as for my enemies, these men who would not have me as their King, bring them here and put them to death in my presence.’”
πλην τους εχθρους μου εκεινους τους μη θελησαντας με βασιλευσαι επ αυτους αγαγετε ωδε και κατασφαξατε αυτους εμπροσθεν μου
28 After saying this, Jesus went on in front, going up to Jerusalem.
και ειπων ταυτα επορευετο εμπροσθεν αναβαινων εις ιεροσολυμα
29 It was when Jesus had almost reached Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, that he sent on two of the disciples.
και εγενετο ως ηγγισεν εις βηθσφαγη και βηθανιαν προς το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων απεστειλεν δυο των μαθητων αυτου
30 “Go to the village facing us,” he said, “and, when you get there, you will find a foal tethered, which no one has yet ridden; untie it and lead it here.
ειπων υπαγετε εις την κατεναντι κωμην εν η εισπορευομενοι ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεις πωποτε ανθρωπων εκαθισεν λυσαντες αυτον αγαγετε
31 And, if anybody asks you ‘Why are you untying it?,’ you are to say this — ‘The Master wants it.’”
και εαν τις υμας ερωτα διατι λυετε ουτως ερειτε αυτω οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
32 So the two who were sent went and found it as Jesus had told them.
απελθοντες δε οι απεσταλμενοι ευρον καθως ειπεν αυτοις εστωτα τον πωλον
33 While they were untying the foal, the owners asked them — “Why are you untying the foal?”
λυοντων δε αυτων τον πωλον ειπον οι κυριοι αυτου προς αυτους τι λυετε τον πωλον
34 And the two disciples answered — “The Master wants it.”
οι δε ειπον οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
35 Then they led it back to Jesus, and threw their cloaks on the foal and put Jesus upon it.
και ηγαγον αυτον προς τον ιησουν και επιρριψαντες εαυτων τα ιματια επι τον πωλον επεβιβασαν τον ιησουν
36 As he went along, the people kept spreading their cloaks in the road.
πορευομενου δε αυτου υπεστρωννυον τα ιματια αυτων εν τη οδω
37 When he had almost reached the place where the road led down the Mount of Olives, every one of the many disciples began in their joy to praise God loudly for all the miracles that they had seen:
εγγιζοντος δε αυτου ηδη προς τη καταβασει του ορους των ελαιων ηρξατο απαν το πληθος των μαθητων χαιροντες αινειν τον θεον φωνη μεγαλη περι πασων ων ειδον δυναμεων
38 “Blessed is He who comes — Our King — in the name of the Lord! Peace in Heaven, And glory on high.”
λεγοντες ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος βασιλευς εν ονοματι κυριου ειρηνη εν ουρανω και δοξα εν υψιστοις
39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, reprove your disciples.”
και τινες των φαρισαιων απο του οχλου ειπον προς αυτον διδασκαλε επιτιμησον τοις μαθηταις σου
40 But Jesus answered: “I tell you that if these men are silent, the very stones will call out.”
και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις λεγω υμιν οτι εαν ουτοι σιωπησωσιν οι λιθοι κεκραξονται
41 When he drew near, on seeing the city, he wept over it, and said:
και ως ηγγισεν ιδων την πολιν εκλαυσεν επ αυτη
42 “Would that you had known, while yet there was time — even you — the things that make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your sight.
λεγων οτι ει εγνως και συ και γε εν τη ημερα σου ταυτη τα προς ειρηνην σου νυν δε εκρυβη απο οφθαλμων σου
43 For a time is coming upon you when your enemies will surround you with earthworks, and encircle you, and hem you in on all sides;
οτι ηξουσιν ημεραι επι σε και περιβαλουσιν οι εχθροι σου χαρακα σοι και περικυκλωσουσιν σε και συνεξουσιν σε παντοθεν
44 they will trample you down and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know ‘the time of your visitation.’”
και εδαφιουσιν σε και τα τεκνα σου εν σοι και ουκ αφησουσιν εν σοι λιθον επι λιθω ανθ ων ουκ εγνως τον καιρον της επισκοπης σου
45 Jesus went into the Temple Courts and began to drive out those who were selling,
και εισελθων εις το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τους πωλουντας εν αυτω και αγοραζοντας
46 saying as he did so: “Scripture says — ‘My House shall be a House of Prayer’; but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
λεγων αυτοις γεγραπται οτι ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης εστιν υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
47 Jesus continued to teach each day in the Temple Courts; but the Chief Priests and Teachers of the Law were eager to take his life, and so also were the leading men.
και ην διδασκων το καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω οι δε αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις εζητουν αυτον απολεσαι και οι πρωτοι του λαου
48 Yet they could not see what to do, for the people all hung upon his words.
και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησουσιν ο λαος γαρ απας εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων
