¹He entered and was passing through Jericho.

¹ثم دخل واجتاز في اريحا.

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

²واذا رجل اسمه زكّا وهو رئيس للعشارين وكان غنيا.

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

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

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

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

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.”

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

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

⁶فاسرع ونزل وقبله فرحا.

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

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

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.”

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.’

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

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

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

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.

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

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

¹⁶فجاء الاول قائلا يا سيد مناك ربح عشرة أمناء.

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.’

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

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

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

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

¹⁹فقال لهذا ايضا وكن انت على خمس مدن.

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

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

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.’

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²⁵فقالوا له يا سيد عنده عشرة أمناء.

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.

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

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

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

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

²⁸ولما قال هذا تقدم صاعدا الى اورشليم.

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,

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

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.

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

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

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

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

³²فمضى المرسلان ووجدا كما قال لهما.

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

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

³⁴They said, “The Lord needs it.”

³⁴فقالا الرب محتاج اليه.

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

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

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

³⁶وفيما هو سائر فرشوا ثيابهم في الطريق.

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

⁴¹وفيما هو يقترب نظر الى المدينة وبكى عليها

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

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

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,

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

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.”

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

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

⁴⁵ولما دخل الهيكل ابتدأ يخرج الذين كانوا يبيعون ويشترون فيه

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

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

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.

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

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

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