< Κατα Λουκαν 19 >
1 και εισελθων διηρχετο την ιεριχω
And [Jesus] entered and passed through Jericho.
2 και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι καλουμενος ζακχαιος και αυτος ην αρχιτελωνης και ουτος ην πλουσιος
And behold, [there was] a man named Zaccheus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3 και εζητει ιδειν τον ιησουν τις εστιν και ουκ ηδυνατο απο του οχλου οτι τη ηλικια μικρος ην
And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature.
4 και προδραμων εμπροσθεν ανεβη επι συκομωραιαν ινα ιδη αυτον οτι [δι] εκεινης εμελλεν διερχεσθαι
And he ran before, and climbed up upon a sycamore-tree to see him; for he was to pass that [way].
5 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
And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said to him, Zaccheus, make haste, and come down: for to-day I must abide at thy house.
6 και σπευσας κατεβη και υπεδεξατο αυτον χαιρων
And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
7 και ιδοντες παντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι
And when they saw [it], they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
8 σταθεις δε ζακχαιος ειπεν προς τον κυριον ιδου τα ημιση των υπαρχοντων μου κυριε διδωμι τοις πτωχοις και ει τινος τι εσυκοφαντησα αποδιδωμι τετραπλουν
And Zaccheus stood, and said to the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore [him] four-fold.
9 ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο ιησους οτι σημερον σωτηρια τω οικω τουτω εγενετο καθοτι και αυτος υιος αβρααμ εστιν
And Jesus said to him, This day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
10 ηλθεν γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ζητησαι και σωσαι το απολωλος
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
11 ακουοντων δε αυτων ταυτα προσθεις ειπεν παραβολην δια το εγγυς αυτον ειναι ιερουσαλημ και δοκειν αυτους οτι παραχρημα μελλει η βασιλεια του θεου αναφαινεσθαι
And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God would immediately appear.
12 ειπεν ουν ανθρωπος τις ευγενης επορευθη εις χωραν μακραν λαβειν εαυτω βασιλειαν και υποστρεψαι
He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 καλεσας δε δεκα δουλους εαυτου εδωκεν αυτοις δεκα μνας και ειπεν προς αυτους πραγματευσασθε εως ερχομαι
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said to them, Occupy till I come.
14 οι δε πολιται αυτου εμισουν αυτον και απεστειλαν πρεσβειαν οπισω αυτου λεγοντες ου θελομεν τουτον βασιλευσαι εφ ημας
But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this [man] to reign over us.
15 και εγενετο εν τω επανελθειν αυτον λαβοντα την βασιλειαν [και] ειπεν φωνηθηναι αυτω τους δουλους τουτους οις εδωκεν το αργυριον ινα γνω τις τι διεπραγματευσατο
And it came to pass, that when he had returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 παρεγενετο δε ο πρωτος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου προσειργασατο δεκα μνας
Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17 και ειπεν αυτω ευ αγαθε δουλε οτι εν ελαχιστω πιστος εγενου ισθι εξουσιαν εχων επανω δεκα πολεων
And he said to him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
18 και ηλθεν ο δευτερος λεγων κυριε η μνα σου εποιησεν πεντε μνας
And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19 ειπεν δε και τουτω και συ γινου επανω πεντε πολεων
And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
20 και ετερος ηλθεν λεγων κυριε ιδου η μνα σου ην ειχον αποκειμενην εν σουδαριω
And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21 εφοβουμην γαρ σε οτι ανθρωπος αυστηρος ει αιρεις ο ουκ εθηκας και θεριζεις ο ουκ εσπειρας
For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up what thou layedst not down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.
22 λεγει δε αυτω εκ του στοματος σου κρινω σε πονηρε δουλε ηδεις οτι εγω ανθρωπος αυστηρος ειμι αιρων ο ουκ εθηκα και θεριζων ο ουκ εσπειρα
And he saith to him, Out of thy own mouth will I judge thee, [thou] wicked servant. Thou knewest me to be an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I did not sow:
23 και δια τι ουκ εδωκας το αργυριον μου επι τραπεζαν και εγω ελθων συν τοκω αν επραξα αυτο
Why then gavest thou not my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?
24 και τοις παρεστωσιν ειπεν αρατε απ αυτου την μναν και δοτε τω τας δεκα μνας εχοντι
And he said to them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give [it] to him that hath ten pounds.
25 και ειπον αυτω κυριε εχει δεκα μνας
(And they said to him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
26 λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι παντι τω εχοντι δοθησεται απο δε του μη εχοντος και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου
For I say to you, That to every one who hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even what he hath shall be taken away from him.
27 πλην τους εχθρους μου εκεινους τους μη θελησαντας με βασιλευσαι επ αυτους αγαγετε ωδε και κατασφαξατε εμπροσθεν μου
But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay [them] before me.
28 και ειπων ταυτα επορευετο εμπροσθεν αναβαινων εις ιεροσολυμα
And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending towards Jerusalem.
29 και εγενετο ως ηγγισεν εις βηθσφαγη και βηθανιαν προς το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων απεστειλεν δυο των μαθητων αυτου
And it came to pass, when he had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
30 ειπων υπαγετε εις την κατεναντι κωμην εν η εισπορευομενοι ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον εφ ον ουδεις πωποτε ανθρωπων εκαθισεν λυσαντες αυτον αγαγετε
Saying, Go ye into the village over against [you]; in which at your entering ye will find a colt tied, on which yet never man sat: loose him, and bring [him hither].
31 και εαν τις υμας ερωτα δια τι λυετε ουτως ερειτε αυτω οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
And if any man shall ask you, Why do ye loose [him]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
32 απελθοντες δε οι απεσταλμενοι ευρον καθως ειπεν αυτοις
And they that were sent, went and found even as he had said to them.
33 λυοντων δε αυτων τον πωλον ειπον οι κυριοι αυτου προς αυτους τι λυετε τον πωλον
And as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, Why loose ye the colt?
34 οι δε ειπον ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει
And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
35 και ηγαγον αυτον προς τον ιησουν και επιρριψαντες εαυτων τα ιματια επι τον πωλον επεβιβασαν τον ιησουν
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon him.
36 πορευομενου δε αυτου υπεστρωννυον τα ιματια αυτων εν τη οδω
And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
37 εγγιζοντος δε αυτου ηδη προς τη καταβασει του ορους των ελαιων ηρξαντο απαν το πληθος των μαθητων χαιροντες αινειν τον θεον φωνη μεγαλη περι πασων ων ειδον δυναμεων
And when he had come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice, for all the mighty works that they had seen.
38 λεγοντες ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος βασιλευς εν ονοματι κυριου ειρηνη εν ουρανω και δοξα εν υψιστοις
Saying, Blessed [be] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 και τινες των φαρισαιων απο του οχλου ειπον προς αυτον διδασκαλε επιτιμησον τοις μαθηταις σου
And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said to him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις λεγω υμιν οτι εαν ουτοι σιωπησωσιν οι λιθοι κεκραξονται
And he answered and said to them, I tell you, that if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 και ως ηγγισεν ιδων την πολιν εκλαυσεν επ αυτη
And when he had come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 λεγων οτι ει εγνως και συ και γε εν τη ημερα σου ταυτη τα προς ειρηνην σου νυν δε εκρυβη απο οφθαλμων σου
Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things [which belong] to thy peace! but now they are hid from thy eyes.
43 οτι ηξουσιν ημεραι επι σε και περιβαλουσιν οι εχθροι σου χαρακα σοι και περικυκλωσουσιν σε και συνεξουσιν σε παντοθεν
For the days shall come upon thee, that thy enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and encompass thee, and keep thee in on every side,
44 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
And shall lay thee even with 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.
45 και εισελθων εις το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τους πωλουντας εν αυτω και αγοραζοντας
And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold in it, and them that bought,
46 λεγων αυτοις γεγραπται ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης εστιν υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων
Saying to them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.
47 και ην διδασκων το καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω οι δε αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις εζητουν αυτον απολεσαι και οι πρωτοι του λαου
And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests, and the scribes, and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησωσιν ο λαος γαρ απας εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων
And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
