Evangelium secundum Lucam, 19

1. Et ingressus perambulabat Iericho.

1. He entered Jericho and was passing through.

2. Et ecce vir nomine Zacchaeus, et hic erat princeps publicanorum et ipse dives.

2. And there was a man named Zacchae'us; he was a chief tax collector, and rich.

3. Et quaerebat videre Iesum, quis esset, et non poterat prae turba, quia statura pusillus erat.

3. And he sought to see who Jesus was, but could not, on account of the crowd, because he was small of stature.

4. Et praecurrens ascendit in arborem sycomorum, ut videret illum, quia inde erat transiturus.

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

5. Et cum venisset ad locum, suspiciens Iesus dixit ad eum: “Zacchaee, festinans descende, nam hodie in domo tua oportet me manere”.

5. And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchae'us, make haste and come down; for I must stay at your house today."

6. Et festinans descendit et excepit illum gaudens.

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

7. Et cum viderent, omnes murmurabant dicentes: “Ad hominem peccatorem divertit!”.

7. And when they saw it they all murmured, "He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."

8. Stans autem Zacchaeus dixit ad Dominum: “Ecce dimidium bonorum meorum, Domine, do pauperibus et, si quid aliquem defraudavi, reddo quadruplum”.

8. And Zacchae'us stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have defrauded any one of anything, I restore it fourfold."

9. Ait autem Iesus ad eum: “Hodie salus domui huic facta est, eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahae;

9. And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham.

10. venit enim Filius hominis quaerere et salvum facere, quod perierat”.

10. For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost."

11. Haec autem illis audientibus, adiciens dixit parabolam, eo quod esset prope Ierusalem, et illi existimarent quod confestim regnum Dei manifestaretur.

11. As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately.

12. Dixit ergo: “Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum et reverti.

12. He said therefore, "A nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom and then return.

13. Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit illis decem minas et ait ad illos: “Negotiamini, dum venio”.

13. Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten pounds, and said to them, `Trade with these till I come.'

14. Cives autem eius oderant illum et miserunt legationem post illum dicentes: “Nolumus hunc regnare super nos!”.

14. But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, `We do not want this man to reign over us.'

15. Et factum est ut rediret, accepto regno, et iussit ad se vocari servos illos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum negotiati essent.

15. When he returned, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading.

16. Venit autem primus dicens: “Domine, mina tua decem minas acquisivit”.

16. The first came before him, saying, `Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more.'

17. Et ait illi: “Euge, bone serve; quia in modico fidelis fuisti, esto potestatem habens supra decem civitates”.

17. And he said to him, `Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.'

18. Et alter venit dicens: “Mina tua, domine, fecit quinque minas”.

18. And the second came, saying, `Lord, your pound has made five pounds.'

19. Et huic ait: “Et tu esto supra quinque civitates”.

19. And he said to him, `And you are to be over five cities.'

20. Et alter venit dicens: “Domine, ecce mina tua, quam habui repositam in sudario;

20. Then another came, saying, `Lord, here is your pound, which I kept laid away in a napkin;

21. timui enim te, quia homo austerus es: tollis, quod non posuisti, et metis, quod non seminasti”.

21. for I was afraid of you, because you are a severe man; you take up what you did not lay down, and reap what you did not sow.'

22. Dicit ei: “De ore tuo te iudico, serve nequam! Sciebas quod ego austerus homo sum, tollens quod non posui et metens quod non seminavi?

22. He said to him, `I will condemn you out of your own mouth, you wicked servant! You knew that I was a severe man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?

23. Et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam? Et ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illud”.

23. Why then did you not put my money into the bank, and at my coming I should have collected it with interest?'

24. Et adstantibus dixit: “Auferte ab illo minam et date illi, qui decem minas habet”.

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

25. Et dixerunt ei: “Domine, habet decem minas!”.

25. (And they said to him, `Lord, he has ten pounds!')

26. Dico vobis: “Omni habenti dabitur; ab eo autem, qui non habet, et, quod habet, auferetur.

26. `I tell you, that to every one who has will more be given; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

27. Verumtamen inimicos meos illos, qui noluerunt me regnare super se, adducite huc et interficite ante me!”.

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

28. Et his dictis, praecedebat ascendens Hierosolymam.

28. And when he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

29. Et factum est, cum appropinquasset ad Bethfage et Bethaniam, ad montem, qui vocatur Oliveti, misit duos discipulos

29. When he drew near to Beth'phage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples,

30. dicens: “Ite in castellum, quod contra est, in quod introeuntes invenietis pullum asinae alligatum, cui nemo umquam hominum sedit; solvite illum et adducite.

30. saying, "Go into the village opposite, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat; untie it and bring it here.

31. Et si quis vos interrogaverit: “Quare solvitis?”, sic dicetis: “Dominus eum necessarium habet””.

31. If any one asks you, `Why are you untying it?' you shall say this, `The Lord has need of it.'"

32. Abierunt autem, qui missi erant, et invenerunt, sicut dixit illis.

32. So those who were sent went away and found it as he had told them.

33. Solventibus autem illis pullum, dixerunt domini eius ad illos: “Quid solvitis pullum?”.

33. And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

34. At illi dixerunt: “Dominus eum necessarium habet”.

34. And they said, "The Lord has need of it."

35. Et duxerunt illum ad Iesum; et iactantes vestimenta sua supra pullum, imposuerunt Iesum.

35. And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their garments on the colt they set Jesus upon it.

36. Eunte autem illo, substernebant vestimenta sua in via.

36. And as he rode along, they spread their garments on the road.

37. Et cum appropinquaret iam ad descensum montis Oliveti, coeperunt omnis multitudo discipulorum gaudentes laudare Deum voce magna super omnibus, quas viderant, virtutibus

37. As he was now drawing near, 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. dicentes: “Benedictus, qui venit rex in nomine Domini! Pax in caelo, et gloria in excelsis!”.

38. saying, "Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

39. Et quidam pharisaeorum de turbis dixerunt ad illum: “Magister, increpa discipulos tuos!”.

39. And some of the Pharisees in the multitude said to him, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples."

40. Et respondens dixit: “Dico vobis: Si hi tacuerint, lapides clamabunt!”.

40. He answered, "I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out."

41. Et ut appropinquavit, videns civitatem flevit super illam

41. And when he drew near and saw the city he wept over it,

42. dicens: “Si cognovisses et tu in hac die, quae ad pacem tibi! Nunc autem abscondita sunt ab oculis tuis.

42. saying, "Would that even today you knew the things that make for peace! But now they are hid from your eyes.

43. Quia venient dies in te, et circumdabunt te inimici tui vallo et obsidebunt te et coangustabunt te undique

43. For the days shall come upon you, when your enemies will cast up a bank about you and surround you, and hem you in on every side,

44. et ad terram prosternent te et filios tuos, qui in te sunt, et non relinquent in te lapidem super lapidem, eo quod non cognoveris tempus visitationis tuae”.

44. and dash you to the ground, you and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another in you; because you did not know the time of your visitation."

45. Et ingressus in templum, coepit eicere vendentes

45. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,

46. dicens illis: “Scriptum est: “Et erit domus mea domus orationis”. Vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum”.

46. saying to them, "It is written, `My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you have made it a den of robbers."

47. Et erat docens cotidie in templo. Principes autem sacerdotum et scribae et principes plebis quaerebant illum perdere

47. And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people sought to destroy him;

48. et non inveniebant quid facerent; omnis enim populus suspensus erat audiens illum.

48. but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people hung upon his words.
