New Testament

Luke 19

1Then Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

και εισελθων διηρχετο την ιεριχω·

2Now behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

και ιδου ανηρ ονοματι καλουμενος ζακχαιος, και αυτος ην αρχιτελωνης, και ουτος ην πλουσιος,

3And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not because of the crowd, for he was of short stature.

και εζητει ιδειν τον ιησουν τις εστιν, και ουκ ηδυνατο απο του οχλου, οτι τη ηλικια μικρος ην.

4So he ran ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was going to pass that way.

και προδραμων εμπροσθεν ανεβη επι συκομορεαν, ινα ιδη αυτον, οτι εκεινης ημελλεν διερχεσθαι.

5And when Jesus came to the place, He looked up and saw him, and said to him, 'Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for today I must stay at your house.'

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.

6So he made haste and came down, and received Him joyfully.

και σπευσας κατεβη, και υπεδεξατο αυτον χαιρων.

7But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, 'He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.'

και ιδοντες παντες διεγογγυζον λεγοντες οτι παρα αμαρτωλω ανδρι εισηλθεν καταλυσαι.

8Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, 'Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.'

σταθεις δε ζακχαιος ειπεν προς τον κυριον· ιδου τα ημιση των υπαρχοντων μου, κυριε, διδωμι τοις πτωχοις, και ει τινος τι εσυκοφαντησα, αποδιδωμι τετραπλουν.

9And Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

ειπεν δε προς αυτον ο ιησους οτι σημερον σωτηρια τω οικω τουτω εγενετο, καθοτι και αυτος υιος αβρααμ εστιν.

10for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.'

ηλθεν γαρ ο υιος του ανθρωπου ζητησαι και σωσαι το απολωλος.

11Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.

ακουοντων δε αυτων ταυτα προσθεις ειπεν παραβολην, δια το εγγυς αυτον ειναι ιερουσαλημ και δοκειν αυτους οτι παραχρημα μελλει η βασιλεια του θεου αναφαινεσθαι·

12Therefore He said: 'A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.

ειπεν ουν· ανθρωπος τις ευγενης επορευθη εις χωραν μακραν λαβειν εαυτω βασιλειαν και υποστρεψαι.

13So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come.'

καλεσας δε δεκα δουλους εαυτου εδωκεν αυτοις δεκα μνας και ειπεν προς αυτους· πραγματευσασθε εν ω ερχομαι.

14But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.'

οι δε πολιται αυτου εμισουν αυτον, και απεστειλαν πρεσβειαν οπισω αυτου λεγοντες· ου θελομεν τουτον βασιλευσαι εφ ημας.

15'And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

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.

16Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.'

παρεγενετο δε ο πρωτος λεγων· κυριε, η μνα σου προσειργασατο δεκα μνας.

17And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.'

και ειπεν αυτω· ευ, αγαθε δουλε! οτι εν ελαχιστω πιστος εγενου, ισθι εξουσιαν εχων επανω δεκα πολεων.

18And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.'

και ηλθεν ο δευτερος λεγων· κυριε, η μνα σου εποιησεν πεντε μνας.

19Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.'

ειπεν δε και τουτω· και συ γινου επανω πεντε πολεων.

20'Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

και ετερος ηλθεν λεγων· κυριε, ιδου η μνα σου, ην ειχον αποκειμενην εν σουδαριω.

21For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.'

εφοβουμην γαρ σε, οτι ανθρωπος αυστηρος ει· αιρεις ο ουκ εθηκας, και θεριζεις ο ουκ εσπειρας, και συναγεις οθεν ου διεσκορπισας.

22And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

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·

23Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?'

και διατι ουκ εδωκας το αργυριον μου επι την τραπεζαν, και εγω ελθων συν τοκω αν επραξα αυτο;

24'And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.'

και τοις παρεστωσιν ειπεν· αρατε απ αυτου την μναν και δοτε τω τας δεκα μνας εχοντι.

25(But they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas.')

[και ειπον αυτω· κυριε, εχει δεκα μνας.]

26'For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

λεγω γαρ υμιν οτι παντι τω εχοντι δοθησεται, απο δε του μη εχοντος και ο εχει αρθησεται απ αυτου.

27But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.' '

πλην τους εχθρους μου εκεινους, τους μη θελησαντας με βασιλευσαι επ αυτους, αγαγετε ωδε και κατασφαξατε αυτους εμπροσθεν μου.

28When He had said this, He went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

και ειπων ταυτα επορευετο εμπροσθεν αναβαινων εις ιεροσολυμα.

29And it came to pass, when He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mountain called Olivet, that He sent two of His disciples,

και εγενετο ως ηγγισεν εις βηθσφαγη και βηθανιαν προς το ορος το καλουμενον ελαιων, απεστειλεν δυο των μαθητων αυτου

30saying, 'Go into the village opposite you, where as you enter you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Loose it and bring it here.

ειπων· υπαγετε εις την κατεναντι κωμην, εν η εισπορευομενοι ευρησετε πωλον δεδεμενον, εφ ον ουδεις πωποτε ανθρωπων εκαθισεν· λυσαντες αυτον αγαγετε.

31And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you loosing it?' thus you shall say to him, 'Because the Lord has need of it.' '

και εαν τις υμας ερωτα, διατι λυετε; ουτως ερειτε αυτω, οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει.

32So those who were sent went their way and found it just as He had said to them.

απελθοντες δε οι απεσταλμενοι ευρον καθως ειπεν αυτοις, εστωτα τον πωλον·

33But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, 'Why are you loosing the colt?'

λυοντων δε αυτων τον πωλον ειπον οι κυριοι αυτου προς αυτους· τι λυετε τον πωλον;

34And they said, 'The Lord has need of him.'

οι δε ειπον οτι ο κυριος αυτου χρειαν εχει.

35Then they brought him to Jesus. And they threw their own clothes on the colt, and they set Jesus on him.

και ηγαγον αυτον προς τον ιησουν, και επιρριψαντες εαυτων τα ιματια επι τον πωλον επεβιβασαν τον ιησουν.

36And as He went, many spread their clothes on the road.

πορευομενου δε αυτου υπεστρωννυον τα ιματια αυτων εν τη οδω.

37Then, as He was now drawing near 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 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

38saying: ''Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the LORD!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!'

λεγοντες· ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος βασιλευς εν ονοματι κυριου· ειρηνη εν ουρανω και δοξα εν υψιστοις.

39And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, 'Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.'

και τινες των φαρισαιων απο του οχλου ειπον προς αυτον· διδασκαλε, επιτιμησον τοις μαθηταις σου.

40But He answered and said to them, 'I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.'

και αποκριθεις ειπεν αυτοις· λεγω υμιν οτι εαν ουτοι σιωπησωσιν, οι λιθοι κεκραξονται.

41Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,

και ως ηγγισεν, ιδων την πολιν εκλαυσεν επ αυτη,

42saying, 'If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

λεγων οτι ει εγνως και συ, και γε εν τη ημερα σου ταυτη, τα προς ειρηνην σου! νυν δε εκρυβη απο οφθαλμων σου·

43For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,

οτι ηξουσιν ημεραι επι σε και περιβαλουσιν οι εχθροι σου χαρακα σοι και περικυκλωσουσιν σε και συνεξουσιν σε παντοθεν,

44and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; 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.

45Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,

και εισελθων εις το ιερον ηρξατο εκβαλλειν τους πωλουντας εν αυτω και αγοραζοντας

46saying to them, 'It is written, 'My house is a house of prayer,' but you have made it a 'den of thieves.' '

λεγων αυτοις· γεγραπται οτι ο οικος μου οικος προσευχης εστιν· υμεις δε αυτον εποιησατε σπηλαιον ληστων.

47And He was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people sought to destroy Him,

και ην διδασκων το καθ ημεραν εν τω ιερω· οι δε αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις εζητουν αυτον απολεσαι και οι πρωτοι του λαου,

48and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

και ουχ ευρισκον το τι ποιησουσιν· ο λαος γαρ απας εξεκρεματο αυτου ακουων.
