¹ثم دخل واجتاز في اريحا.

¹He entered and was passing through Jericho.

²واذا رجل اسمه زكّا وهو رئيس للعشارين وكان غنيا.

²There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.

³وطلب ان يرى يسوع من هو ولم يقدر من الجمع لانه كان قصير القامة.

³He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.

⁴فركض متقدما وصعد الى جميزة لكي يراه. لانه كان مزمعا ان يمرّ من هناك.

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

⁵فلما جاء يسوع الى المكان نظر الى فوق فرآه وقال له يا زكّا اسرع وانزل لانه ينبغي ان امكث اليوم في بيتك.

⁵When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”

⁶فاسرع ونزل وقبله فرحا.

⁶He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.

⁷فلما رأى الجميع ذلك تذمروا قائلين انه دخل ليبيت عند رجل خاطئ.

⁷When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”

⁸فوقف زكا وقال للرب ها انا يا رب اعطي نصف اموالي للمساكين وان كنت قد وشيت باحد ارد اربعة اضعاف.

⁸Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.”

⁹فقال له يسوع اليوم حصل خلاص لهذا البيت اذ هو ايضا ابن ابراهيم.

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

¹⁰لان ابن الانسان قد جاء لكي يطلب ويخلّص ما قد هلك

¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

¹¹واذ كانوا يسمعون هذا عاد فقال مثلا لانه كان قريبا من اورشليم وكانوا يظنون ان ملكوت الله عتيد ان يظهر في الحال.

¹¹As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the Kingdom of God would be revealed immediately.

¹²فقال. انسان شريف الجنس ذهب الى كورة بعيدة ليأخذ لنفسه ملكا ويرجع.

¹²He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

¹³فدعا عشرة عبيد له واعطاهم عشرة أمناء وقال لهم تاجروا حتى آتي.

¹³ He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, 10 minas was more than 3 years’ wages for an agricultural laborer. and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’

¹⁴واما اهل مدينته فكانوا يبغضونه فارسلوا وراءه سفارة قائلين لا نريد ان هذا يملك علينا.

¹⁴ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’

¹⁵ولما رجع بعد ما اخذ الملك امر ان يدعى اليه اولئك العبيد الذين اعطاهم الفضة ليعرف بما تاجر كل واحد.

¹⁵ “It happened when he had come back again, having received the kingdom, that 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 conducting business.

¹⁶فجاء الاول قائلا يا سيد مناك ربح عشرة أمناء.

¹⁶ The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’

¹⁷فقال له نعما ايها العبد الصالح. لانك كنت امينا في القليل فليكن لك سلطان على عشر مدن.

¹⁷ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’

¹⁸ثم جاء الثاني قائلا يا سيد مناك عمل خمسة امناء.

¹⁸ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’

¹⁹فقال لهذا ايضا وكن انت على خمس مدن.

¹⁹ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’

²⁰ثم جاء آخر قائلا يا سيد هوذا مناك الذي كان عندي موضوعا في منديل.

²⁰ Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,

²¹لاني كنت اخاف منك اذ انت انسان صارم تأخذ ما لم تضع وتحصد ما لم تزرع.

²¹ for I feared you, because you are an exacting man. You take up that which you didn’t lay down, and reap that which you didn’t sow.’

²²فقال له من فمك ادينك ايها العبد الشرير. عرفت اني انسان صارم آخذ ما لم اضع واحصد ما لم ازرع.

²² “He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth will I judge you, you wicked servant! You knew that I am an exacting man, taking up that which I didn’t lay down, and reaping that which I didn’t sow.

²³فلماذا لم تضع فضتي على مائدة الصيارفة فكنت متى جئت استوفيها مع ربا.

²³ Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’

²⁴ثم قال للحاضرين خذوا منه المنا واعطوه للذي عنده العشرة الامناء.

²⁴ He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him, and give it to him who has the ten minas.’

²⁵فقالوا له يا سيد عنده عشرة أمناء.

²⁵ “They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’

²⁶لاني اقول لكم ان كل من له يعطى. ومن ليس له فالذي عنده يؤخذ منه.

²⁶ ‘For I tell you that to everyone who has, will more be given; but from him who doesn’t have, even that which he has will be taken away from him.

²⁷اما اعدائي اولئك الذين لم يريدوا ان املك عليهم فأتوا بهم الى هنا واذبحوهم قدامي

²⁷ But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”

²⁸ولما قال هذا تقدم صاعدا الى اورشليم.

²⁸Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁹واذ قرب من بيت فاجي وبيت عنيا عند الجبل الذي يدعى جبل الزيتون ارسل اثنين من تلاميذه

²⁹It happened, when he drew near to Bethsphage TR, NU read “Bethpage” instead of “Bethsphage” and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,

³⁰قائلا. اذهبا الى القرية التي امامكما وحين تدخلانها تجدان جحشا مربوطا لم يجلس عليه احد من الناس قط. فحلاه وأتيا به.

³⁰saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever yet sat. Untie it, and bring it.

³¹وان سألكما احد لماذا تحلانه فقولا له هكذا ان الرب محتاج اليه.

³¹ If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

³²فمضى المرسلان ووجدا كما قال لهما.

³²Those who were sent went away, and found things just as he had told them.

³³وفيما هما يحلان الجحش قال لهما اصحابه لماذا تحلان الجحش.

³³As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

³⁴فقالا الرب محتاج اليه.

³⁴They said, “The Lord needs it.”

³⁵وأتيا به الى يسوع وطرحا ثيابهما على الجحش واركبا يسوع.

³⁵They brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt, and set Jesus on them.

³⁶وفيما هو سائر فرشوا ثيابهم في الطريق.

³⁶As he went, they spread their cloaks in the way.

³⁷ولما قرب عند منحدر جبل الزيتون ابتدأ كل جمهور التلاميذ يفرحون ويسبحون الله بصوت عظيم لاجل جميع القوات التي نظروا.

³⁷As he was now getting 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 which they had seen,

³⁸قائلين مبارك الملك الآتي باسم الرب. سلام في السماء ومجد في الاعالي.

³⁸saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:26 Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”

³⁹واما بعض الفريسيين من الجمع فقالوا له يا معلّم انتهر تلاميذك.

³⁹Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”

⁴⁰فاجاب وقال لهم اقول لكم انه ان سكت هؤلاء فالحجارة تصرخ

⁴⁰He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”

⁴¹وفيما هو يقترب نظر الى المدينة وبكى عليها

⁴¹When he drew near, he saw the city and wept over it,

⁴²قائلا انك لو علمت انت ايضا حتى في يومك هذا ما هو لسلامك. ولكن الآن قد أخفي عن عينيك.

⁴²saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.

⁴³فانه ستأتي ايام ويحيط بك اعداؤك بمترسة ويحدقون بك ويحاصرونك من كل جهة.

⁴³ For the days will come on you, when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,

⁴⁴ويهدمونك وبنيك فيك ولا يتركون فيك حجرا على حجر لانك لم تعرفي زمان افتقادك

⁴⁴ and will dash you and your children within you to the ground. They will not leave in you one stone on another, because you didn’t know the time of your visitation.”

⁴⁵ولما دخل الهيكل ابتدأ يخرج الذين كانوا يبيعون ويشترون فيه

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

⁴⁶قائلا لهم مكتوب ان بيتي بيت الصلاة. وانتم جعلتموه مغارة لصوص

⁴⁶saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ Isaiah 56:7 but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!” Jeremiah 7:11

⁴⁷وكان يعلّم كل يوم في الهيكل وكان رؤساء الكهنة والكتبة مع وجوه الشعب يطلبون ان يهلكوه.

⁴⁷He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

⁴⁸ولم يجدوا ما يفعلون لان الشعب كله كان متعلقا به يسمع منه

⁴⁸They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
