¹And he entered and passed through Jericho.

¹ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܥܒܪ ܒܐܝܪܝܚܘ ܀

²And behold, [there was] a man by name called Zacchaeus, and he was chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich.

²ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܙܟܝ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܪܒ ܡܟܤܐ ܀

³And he sought to see Jesus who he was: and he could not for the crowd, because he was little in stature.

³ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܚܙܐ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܕܡܢܘ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܩܘܡܬܗ ܙܥܘܪ ܗܘܐ ܙܟܝ ܀

⁴And running on before, he got up into a sycamore that he might see him, for he was going to pass that [way].

⁴ܘܪܗܛ ܩܕܡܗ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܘܤܠܩ ܠܗ ܠܬܬܐ ܦܟܝܗܬܐ ܕܢܚܙܝܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܗܟܘܬ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܀

⁵And when he came up to the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and said to him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down, for to-day I must remain in thy house.

⁵ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܗܝ ܕܘܟܬܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܤܬܪܗܒ ܚܘܬ ܙܟܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܘܠܐ ܕܒܒܝܬܟ ܐܗܘܐ ܀

⁶And he made haste and came down, and received him with joy.

⁶ܘܐܤܬܪܗܒ ܢܚܬ ܘܩܒܠܗ ܟܕ ܚܕܐ ܀

⁷And all murmured when they saw [it], saying, He has turned in to lodge with a sinful man.

⁷ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܘܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܛܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܪܐ ܀

⁸But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from any man by false accusation, I return [him] fourfold.

⁸ܩܡ ܕܝܢ ܙܟܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܗܐ ܡܪܝ ܦܠܓܘܬ ܢܟܤܝ ܝܗܒ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܠܟܠܢܫ ܡܕܡ ܕܓܠܙܬ ܚܕ ܒܐܪܒܥܐ ܦܪܥ ܐܢܐ ܀

⁹And Jesus said to him, To-day salvation is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;

⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܝܫܘܥ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܗܘܘ ܚܝܐ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܦ ܗܢܐ ܒܪܗ ܗܘ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܀

¹⁰for the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which is lost.

¹⁰ܐܬܐ ܓܝܪ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܕܢܒܥܐ ܘܢܚܐ ܗܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܒܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹¹But as they were listening to these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem and they thought that the kingdom of God was about to be immediately manifested.

¹¹ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܘܤܦ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܥܬܝܕܐ ܕܬܬܓܠܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܀

¹²He said therefore, A certain high-born man went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and return.

¹²ܘܐܡܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܒܪ ܛܘܗܡܐ ܪܒܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܐܬܪܐ ܪܚܝܩܐ ܕܢܤܒ ܠܗ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܢܗܦܘܟ ܀

¹³And having called his own ten bondmen, he gave to them ten minas, and said to them, Trade while I am coming.

¹³ܘܩܪܐ ܥܤܪܐ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܓܪܘ ܥܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁴But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not that this [man] should reign over us.

¹⁴ܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܗ ܕܝܢ ܤܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܐܝܙܓܕܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܨܒܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܕܢܡܠܟ ܥܠܝܢ ܗܢܐ ܀

¹⁵And it came to pass on his arrival back again, having received the kingdom, that he desired these bondmen to whom he gave the money to be called to him, in order that he might know what every one had gained by trading.

¹⁵ܘܟܕ ܢܤܒ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܘܗܦܟ ܐܡܪ ܕܢܩܪܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܢܘܢ ܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܕܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܤܦܐ ܕܢܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܟܠ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܬܬܓܪ ܀

¹⁶And the first came up, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has produced ten minas.

¹⁶ܘܐܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܟ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܐܘܬܪ ܀

¹⁷And he said to him, Well [done], thou good bondman; because thou hast been faithful in that which is least, be thou in authority over ten cities.

¹⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܘ ܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܐܫܬܟܚܬ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܥܤܪܐ ܟܪܟܝܢ ܀

¹⁸And the second came, saying, [My] Lord, thy mina has made five minas.

¹⁸ܘܐܬܐ ܕܬܪܝܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܡܢܝܟ ܚܡܫܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܀

¹⁹And he said also to this one, And *thou*, be over five cities.

¹⁹ܐܡܪ ܐܦ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܬܗܘܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܥܠ ܚܡܫܐ ܟܪܟܝܢ ܀

²⁰And another came, saying, [My] Lord, lo, [there is] thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a towel.

²⁰ܘܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܪܝ ܗܐ ܡܢܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܟܕ ܤܝܡ ܒܤܕܘܢܐ ܀

²¹For I feared thee because thou art a harsh man: thou takest up what thou hast not laid down, and thou reapest what thou hast not sowed.

²¹ܕܚܠܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܢܟ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܬ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܬ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܬ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ ܀

²²He says to him, Out of thy mouth will I judge thee, wicked bondman: thou knewest that *I* am a harsh man, taking up what I have not laid down and reaping what I have not sowed.

²²ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܟ ܐܕܘܢܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܒܝܫܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܠܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܐܢܐ ܩܫܝܐ ܘܫܩܠ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܤܡܬ ܘܚܨܕ ܐܢܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܙܪܥܬ ܀

²³And why didst thou not give my money to [the] bank; and *I* should have received it, at my coming, with interest?

²³ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܟܤܦܝ ܥܠ ܦܬܘܪܐ ܘܐܢܐ ܐܬܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܬܒܥ ܠܗ ܥܡ ܪܒܝܬܗ ܀

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

²⁴ܘܠܗܢܘܢ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܐܡܪ ܤܒܘ ܡܢܗ ܡܢܝܐ ܘܗܒܘ ܠܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܀

²⁵And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas.

²⁵ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܘܬܗ ܥܤܪܐ ܡܢܝܢ ܀

²⁶For I say unto you, that to every one that has shall be given; but from him that has not, that even which he has shall be taken from him.

²⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܝܗܒ ܠܗ ܘܡܢ ܗܘ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܢܬܢܤܒ ܡܢܗ ܀

²⁷Moreover those mine enemies, who would not [have] me to reign over them, bring them here and slay [them] before me.

²⁷ܒܪܡ ܠܗܢܘܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܨܒܘ ܕܐܡܠܟ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܬܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܩܛܠܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܩܕܡܝ ܀

²⁸And having said these things, he went on before, going up to Jerusalem.

²⁸ܘܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܦܩ ܠܩܕܡܘܗܝ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܀

²⁹And it came to pass as he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mountain called [the mount] of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

²⁹ܘܟܕ ܡܛܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܦܓܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܥܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܛܘܪܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܫܕܪ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܀

³⁰saying, Go into the village over against [you], in which ye will find, on entering it, a colt tied up, on which no [child] of man ever sat at any time: loose it and lead it [here].

³⁰ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܙܠܘ ܠܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܠܩܘܒܠܢ ܘܟܕ ܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܕܐܤܝܪ ܕܐܢܫ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܪܟܒ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܫܪܘ ܐܝܬܐܘܗܝ ܀

³¹And if any one ask you, Why do ye loose [it]? thus shall ye say to him, Because the Lord has need of it.

³¹ܘܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܐܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܀

³²And they that were sent, having gone their way, found as he had said to them.

³²ܘܐܙܠܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܘܐܫܟܚܘ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܀

³³And as they were loosing the colt, its masters said to them, Why loose ye the colt?

³³ܘܟܕ ܫܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܥܝܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܘܗܝ ܡܢܐ ܫܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܥܝܠܐ ܗܘ ܀

³⁴And they said, Because the Lord has need of it.

³⁴ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܠܡܪܢ ܡܬܒܥܐ ܀

³⁵And they led it to Jesus; and having cast their own garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].

³⁵ܘܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܥܠ ܥܝܠܐ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܪܟܒܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܀

³⁶And as he went, they strewed their clothes in the way.

³⁶ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܐܙܠ ܦܪܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܐܢܝܗܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܀

³⁷And as he drew near, already at the descent of the mount of Olives, all the multitude of the disciples began, rejoicing, to praise God with a loud voice for all the works of power which they had seen,

³⁷ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܠܡܚܬܬܐ ܕܛܘܪܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܙܝܬܐ ܫܪܝܘ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܕܝܢ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܚܝܠܐ ܕܚܙܘ ܀

³⁸saying, Blessed the King that comes in the name of [the] Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

³⁸ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܝܟ ܗܘ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܫܠܡܐ ܒܫܡܝܐ ܘܫܘܒܚܐ ܒܡܪܘܡܐ ܀

³⁹And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to him, Teacher, rebuke thy disciples.

³⁹ܐܢܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܝܢܝ ܟܢܫܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܪܒܝ ܟܐܝ ܒܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܀

⁴⁰And he answering said to them, I say unto you, If these shall be silent, the stones will cry out.

⁴⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܢܫܬܩܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܢܩܥܝܢ ܀

⁴¹And as he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it,

⁴¹ܘܟܕ ܩܪܒ ܘܚܙܗ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܒܟܐ ܥܠܝܗ ܀

⁴²saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, even at least in this thy day, the things that are for thy peace: but now they are hid from thine eyes;

⁴²ܘܐܡܪ ܐܠܘ ܟܝ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܝܢ ܕܫܠܡܟܝ ܐܦܢ ܒܗܢܐ ܝܘܡܟܝ ܗܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܤܝ ܠܗܝܢ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܝܟܝ ܀

⁴³for days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall make a palisaded mound about thee, and shall close thee around, and keep thee in on every side,

⁴³ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܟܝ ܕܝܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܢܚܕܪܘܢܟܝ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܝܟܝ ܘܢܐܠܨܘܢܟܝ ܡܢ ܟܠ ܕܘܟܐ ܀

⁴⁴and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children in thee; and shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone: because thou knewest not the season of thy visitation.

⁴⁴ܘܢܤܚܦܘܢܟܝ ܘܠܒܢܝܟܝ ܒܓܘܟܝ ܘܠܐ ܢܫܒܩܘܢ ܒܟܝ ܟܐܦ ܥܠ ܟܐܦ ܚܠܦ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥܬܝ ܙܒܢܐ ܕܤܘܥܪܢܟܝ ܀

⁴⁵And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those that sold and bought in it,

⁴⁵ܘܟܕ ܥܠ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܫܪܝ ܠܡܦܩܘ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܙܒܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܘܡܙܒܢܝܢ ܀

⁴⁶saying to them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but *ye* have made it a den of robbers.

⁴⁶ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܬܝܒ ܕܒܝܬܝ ܒܝܬ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܥܒܕܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܡܥܪܬܐ ܕܠܤܛܝܐ ܀

⁴⁷And he was teaching day by day in the temple: and the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

⁴⁷ܘܗܘ ܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܟܠ ܝܘܡ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܤܦܪܐ ܘܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܘܒܕܘܬܗ ܀

⁴⁸and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.

⁴⁸ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܐ ܢܥܒܕܘܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗ ܓܝܪ ܥܡܐ ܬܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܠܡܫܡܥܗ ܀
