Luke 19
1 And Jhesus `goynge yn, walkide thorou Jericho.
And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,
2 And lo! a man, Sache bi name, and this was a prince of pupplicans, and he was riche.
and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,
3 And he souyte to se Jhesu, who he was, and he myyte not, for the puple, for he was litil in stature.
and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
4 And he ran bifore, and stiyede in to a sicomoure tree, to se hym; for he was to passe fro thennus.
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 Jhesus biheld vp, whanne he cam to the place, and saiy hym, and seide to hym, Sache, haste thee, and come doun, for to dai Y mot dwelle in thin hous.
And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, 'Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;'
6 And he hiyynge cam doun, and ioiynge resseyuede hym.
and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
7 And whanne alle men sayn, thei grutchiden seiynge, For he hadde turned to a synful man.
and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying — 'With a sinful man he went in to lodge!'
8 But Sache stood, and seide to the Lord, Lo! Lord, Y yyue the half of my good to pore men; and if Y haue ony thing defraudid ony man, Y yelde foure so myche.
And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, 'Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.'
9 Jhesus seith to hym, For to dai heelthe is maad to this hous, for that he is Abrahams sone;
And Jesus said unto him — 'To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 for mannus sone cam to seke, and make saaf that thing that perischide.
for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.'
11 Whanne thei herden these thingis, he addide, and seide a parable, for that he was nyy Jerusalem, `and for thei gessiden, that anoon the kyngdom of God schulde be schewid.
And while they are hearing these things, having added he spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be made manifest.
12 Therfor he seide, A worthi man wente in to a fer cuntre, to take to hym a kyngdom, and to turne ayen.
He said therefore, 'A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return,
13 And whanne hise ten seruauntis weren clepid, he yaf to hem ten besauntis; and seide to hem, Chaffare ye, til Y come.
and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business — till I come;
14 But hise citeseyns hatiden hym, and senten a messanger aftir hym, and seiden, We wolen not, that he regne on vs.
and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us.
15 And it was don, that he turnede ayen, whan he hadde take the kyngdom; and he comaundide hise seruauntis to be clepid, to whiche he hadde yyue monei, to wite, hou myche ech hadde wonne bi chaffaryng.
'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 any one had done in business.
16 And the firste cam, and seide, Lord, thi besaunt hath wonne ten besauntis.
'And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain ten pounds;
17 He seide to hym, Wel be, thou good seruaunt; for in litil thing thou hast be trewe, thou schalt be hauynge power on ten citees.
and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.
18 And the tother cam, and seide, Lord, thi besaunt hath maad fyue besauntis.
'And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five pounds;
19 And to this he seide, And be thou on fyue citees.
and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over five cities.
20 And the thridde cam, and seide, Lord, lo! thi besaunt, that Y hadde, put vp in a sudarie.
'And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin;
21 For Y dredde thee, for thou art `a sterne man; thou takist awey that that thou settidist not, and thou repist that that thou hast not sowun.
for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 He seith to hym, Wickid seruaunt, of thi mouth Y deme thee. Wistist thou, that Y am `a sterne man, takynge awei that thing that Y settide not, and repyng ethat thing that Y sewe not?
'And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow!
23 and whi hast thou not youun my money to the bord, and Y comynge schulde haue axid it with vsuris?
and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?
24 And he seide to men stondynge nyy, Take ye awei fro hym the besaunt, and yyue ye to hym that hath ten beyauntis:
'And to those standing by he said, Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds —
25 And thei seiden to hym, Lord, he hath ten besauntis.
(and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) —
26 And Y seie to you, to ech man that hath, it schal be youun, and he schal encreese; but fro him that hath not, also that thing that he hath, schal be takun of hym.
for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
27 Netheles brynge ye hidur tho myn enemyes, that wolden not that Y regnede on hem, and sle ye bifor me.
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
28 And whanne these thingis weren seid, he wente bifore, and yede vp to Jerusalem.
And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.
29 And it was don, whanne Jhesus cam nyy to Bethfage and Betanye, at the mount, that is clepid of Olyuete, he sente hise twei disciplis, and seide,
And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 Go ye in to the castel, that is ayens you; in to which as ye entren, ye schulen fynde a colt of an asse tied, on which neuer man sat; vntye ye hym, and brynge ye to me.
having said, Go away to the village over-against, in which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it];
31 And if ony man axe you, whi ye vntien, thus ye schulen seie to hym, For the Lord desirith his werk.
and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose [it]? thus ye shall say to him — The Lord hath need of it.'
32 And thei that weren sent, wenten forth, and fonden as he seide to hem, a colt stondynge.
And those sent, having gone away, found according as he said to them,
33 And whanne thei vntieden the colt, the lordis of hym seiden to hem, What vntien ye the colt?
and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, 'Why loose ye the colt?'
34 And thei seiden, For the Lord hath nede to hym.
and they said, 'The Lord hath need of it;'
35 And thei ledden hym to Jhesu; and thei castynge her clothis on the colt, setten Jhesu on hym.
and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it.
36 And whanne he wente, thei strowiden her clothis in the weie.
And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in the way,
37 And whanne he cam nyy to the comyng doun of the mount of Olyuete, al the puple that cam doun bygunnen to ioye, and to herie God with greet vois on alle the vertues, that thei hadden sayn,
and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty works they had seen,
38 and seiden, Blessid be the king, that cometh in the name of the Lord; pees in heuene, and glorie in hiye thingis.
saying, 'blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.'
39 And sum of the Farisees of the puple seiden to hym, Maister, blame thi disciplis.
And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, 'Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;'
40 And he seide to hem, Y seie to you, for if these ben stille, stoonus schulen crye.
and he answering said to them, 'I say to you, that, if these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!'
41 And whanne he neiyede, `he seiy the citee,
And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over it,
42 and wepte on it, and seide, For if thou haddist knowun, thou schuldist wepe also; for in this dai the thingis ben in pees to thee, but now thei ben hid fro thin iyen.
saying — 'If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from thine eyes.
43 But daies schulen come in thee, and thin enemyes schulen enuyroun thee with a pale, and thei schulen go aboute thee, and make thee streit on alle sidis,
'Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and press thee on every side,
44 and caste thee doun to the erthe, and thi sones that ben in thee; and thei schulen not leeue in thee a stoon on a stoon, for thou hast not knowun the tyme of thi visitacioun.
and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou didst not know the time of thy inspection.'
45 And he entride in to the temple, and bigan to caste out men sellynge ther inne and biynge,
And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth those selling in it, and those buying,
46 and seide to hem, It is writun, That myn hous is an hous of preyer, but ye han maad it a den of theues.
saying to them, 'It hath been written, My house is a house of prayer — but ye made it a den of robbers.'
47 And he was techynge euerydai in the temple. And the princis of prestis, and the scribis, and the princis of the puple souyten to lese hym;
And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him — also the chiefs of the people —
48 and thei founden not, what thei schulden do to hym, for al the puple was ocupied, and herde hym.
and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the people were hanging on him, hearing him.
