Luke 19
|
| And he entered and was passing through Jericho. | And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it, |
| And behold, a man called by name Zacchaeus; and he was a chief publican, and he was rich. | A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth, |
| And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the crowd, because he was little of stature. | Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man. |
| And he ran on before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. | And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way. |
| And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house. | And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today. |
| And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. | And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy. |
| And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, He is gone in to lodge with a man that is a sinner. | And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner. |
| And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have wrongfully exacted aught of any man, I restore fourfold. | And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much. |
| And Jesus said unto him, To-day is salvation come to this house, forasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham. | And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham. |
| For the Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost. | For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour. |
| And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and [because] they supposed that the kingdom of God was immediately to appear. | And while they were giving ear to these words, he made another story for them, because he was near Jerusalem, and because they were of the opinion that the kingdom of God was coming straight away. |
| He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. | So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back. |
| And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said unto them, Trade ye [herewith] till I come. | And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come. |
| But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this man reign over us. | But his people had no love for him, and sent representatives after him, saying, We will not have this man for our ruler. |
| And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, unto whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. | And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done. |
| And the first came before him, saying, Lord, thy pound hath made ten pounds more. | And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds. |
| And he said unto him, Well done, thou good servant: because thou wast found faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. | And he said to him, You have done well, O good servant: because you have done well in a small thing you will have authority over ten towns. |
| And the second came, saying, Thy pound, Lord, hath made five pounds. | And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds. |
| And he said unto him also, Be thou also over five cities. | And he said, You will be ruler over five towns. |
| And another came, saying, Lord, behold, [here is] thy pound, which I kept laid up in a napkin: | And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth; |
| for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou layedst not down, and reapest that which thou didst not sow. | Because I was in fear of you, for you are a hard man: you take up what you have not put down, and get in grain where you have not put seed. |
| He saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up that which I laid not down, and reaping that which I did not sow; | He said to him, By the words of your mouth you will be judged, you bad servant. You had knowledge that I am a hard man, taking up what I have not put down and getting in grain where I have not put seed; |
| then wherefore gavest thou not my money into the bank, and I at my coming should have required it with interest? | Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest? |
| And he said unto them that stood by, Take away from him the pound, and give it unto him that hath the ten pounds. | And he said to the others who were near, Take the pound away from him, and give it to the man who has ten. |
| And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds. | And they say to him, Lord, he has ten pounds. |
| I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. | And I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. |
| But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. | And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me. |
| And when he had thus spoken, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem. | And when he had said this, he went on in front of them, going up to Jerusalem. |
| And it came to pass, when he drew nigh unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, | And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, |
| saying, Go your way into the village over against [you]; in which as ye enter ye shall find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat: loose him, and bring him. | Saying, Go into the little town in front of you, and on going in you will see a young ass fixed with a cord, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose and take him. |
| And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say, The Lord hath need of him. | And if anyone says to you, Why are you taking him? say, The Lord has need of him. |
| And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. | And those whom he sent went away, and it was as he said. |
| And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? | And when they were getting the young ass, the owners of it said to them, Why are you taking the young ass? |
| And they said, The Lord hath need of him. | And they said, The Lord has need of him. |
| And they brought him to Jesus: and they threw their garments upon the colt, and set Jesus thereon. | And they took him to Jesus, and they put their clothing on the ass, and Jesus got on to him. |
| And as he went, they spread their garments in the way. | And while he went on his way they put their clothing down on the road in front of him. |
| And as he was now drawing nigh, [even] 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 which they had seen; | And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen; |
| saying, Blessed [is] the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. | Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest. |
| And some of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples. | And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet. |
| And he answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out. | And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out. |
| And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it, | And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it, |
| saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. | Saying, If you, even you, had knowledge today, of the things which give peace! but you are not able to see them. |
| For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, | For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side, |
| and shall dash thee to 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. | And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy. |
| And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, | And he went into the Temple and put out those who were trading there, |
| saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers. | Saying to them, It has been said, My house is to be a house of prayer, but you have made it a hole of thieves. |
| And he was teaching daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him: | And every day he was teaching in the Temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people were attempting to put him to death; |
| and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening. | But they were not able to do anything, because the people all kept near him, being greatly interested in his words. |
