¹He entered and was passing through Jericho.

¹O Jesus gelo ando Jericho, nakhlo anda foro.

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

²Sas iek manush barvalo kai busholas Zacchaeus. Wo sas o baro mashkar le manush kai chidenas e taksa,

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

³ai kado manush rodelas te zhanel kon si O Jesus; numa nashtilas katar o but narodo, ke tsinorho sas.

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

⁴Nashlo angle, ai anklisto pe ek khash kai busholas Sicamore te dikhel les; ke O Jesus sas te nakhel kotsar.

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.”

⁵Kana O Jesus areslo pe kodo than, vazdia le iakha opre, dikhlia les, ai phendia leske, "Zacchaeus, huli tele mai sigo, ke trobul adies te beshav ande cho kher."

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

⁶O Zacchaeus hulisto sigo tele, ai premisardia les peste raduimasa.

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

⁷Ai kana le manush dikhle so kerdilia, denas pe duma, phenenas, "O Jesus zhal te beshel le manusha kai si bezexalo."

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.”

⁸O Zacchaeus angla Jesus sa, ai phendia le Devleske, "Ashun Devla! Dav dopash anda murho barvalimos kal chorhe; ai te lem katar vari kon ande vari soste, dava les shtarvar mai but."

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

⁹O Jesus phendia leske, "O skepimos avilo adies ande kado kher, ke vi kako si iek shav le Abrahamosko.

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

¹⁰Ke O Shav le Manushesko avilo te rodel ai te skepil kon sas xasardo."

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.

¹¹Sar le manush ashunenas, O Jesus phendia lenge ek paramichi, ke pasha Jerusalem sas, ai ke gindinaspe ke e amperetsia le Devleski sas te sikadiol strazo.

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

¹²No O Jesus phendia, "Iek manush barvalo gelotar ande them dur te keren anda leste amperato ai te avel palpale.

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.’

¹³Ai akhardia peske desh slugen, ai dia sakones iek galbano sumnakuno, ai phendia lenge, "Keren buchi kadale sumnakasa zhi kai avav."

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

¹⁴Numa le manush kodole manusheske gretsosarde les, ai trade vari kas te phenen leske, "Chi mangas kado manush te avela amaro amperato."

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.

¹⁵Kotse kai gelo kerde amperato anda leste, ai kana avilo palpale ande pesko them, wo akhardia le slugen kai dias len o sumnakai, wo manglia te zhanel sode mai but swako sluga sas les pala leski buchi.

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

¹⁶O pervo avilo ai phendia, "Gazda, nirisardem aver desh galbi le galbanosa kai dian ma.

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.’

¹⁷Ai o gazda phendia leske, "Mishto kerdian, lasho sluga; kai sanas lasho ande xantsi buchi, dava tu desh foruria te poronchis pe lende."

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

¹⁸O duito avilo ai phendia leske, "Gazda, nirisardem aver pansh galbi le galbanosa kai dian ma."

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

¹⁹O gazda phendia leske, "Vi tu poronchisa pe pansh foruria."

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

²⁰Aver avilo phenelas, "Gazda, Dikh! Katse si cho galbano kai dian ma, garadem les ande poxtan.

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.’

²¹Ke darailem tutar, ke tu san manush zurale ilesko: tu les so chi dian, ai chides so chi bariardian."

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.

²²O amperato phendia leske, "Dav tu kris pala che vorbi, tu san chorho sluga, tu zhanesas ke sim manush zurale ilesko, lav so chi dem, ai chidav so chi bariardem.

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

²³Apo, "Sostar chi thodian murhe love ande banka? Saxke, kana avilemas khere sas te bution?"

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

²⁴Porme phendia kodolenge kai sas kotse, "Len lestar o galbano, ai den les ka kako kai si les desh."

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

²⁵Le kolaver phendia leske, "Gazda, si les vunzhe desh galbi!"

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.

²⁶O Jesus phendia, "Me phenav tumenge, avela dino ka kuko kai si les; numa ka kuko kai nai, avela lino lestar vi so si les.

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

²⁷Numa le manush kai chi mai le te avav lengo amperato, anen le katse, ai mudaren le angla mande."

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

²⁸Kana phendia kodia paramichi, O Jesus gelotar angla manush te zhal ande Jerusalem.

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,

²⁹Kana pashilo pashai Bethphage ai Bethani karing e plai kai busholas E Plai le Maslinengi, O Jesus tradia dui anda peske disiplonge, phenelas,

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.

³⁰"Zhan ando gav kai si angla amende; ai kana aresena, arakhena kotse ieke magares kai si phanglo, pe kodo magari inker chi iek manush chi beshlo; phutren les, ai anen les katse.

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

³¹Te phushela tumen vari kon, "Sostar phutren le magares?" Tume phenen leske, "Ke trobul le Devles."

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

³²Le disipluria kai sas tradino gele, ai arakhle sa le dieli sar O Jesus phendiasas lenge.

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

³³Kana phutrenas le magares, o gazda phendia lenge, "Sostar phutren le magares?"

³⁴They said, “The Lord needs it.”

³⁴Ai won phende, "Ke trobul le Devles."

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

³⁵Angerde le magares ka Jesus; ai thode pe penge raxamia po magari, ai thode le Jesusos te beshel opral.

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

³⁶Sar phirelas, won shudenas penge raxamia po drom.

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,

³⁷Ai kana pasholas pashai Jerusalem, karing e plaiing kai xulelas e plaiing kai bushol E Plaiing le Maslinenge, sa le disipluria raduime sas, ai dine naisimos ka Del pala sa le mirakluria kai dikhle; phenenas,

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

³⁸"Raduime te avel o amperato kai avel ando anav le Devlesko! Pacha ando rhaio, ai o barimos te avel ando rhaio."

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

³⁹Ai uni Farizeanonge kai sas mashkar o narodo, phende le Jesusoske, "Gazda, phen che disiplonge te terdion."

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

⁴⁰Ai O Jesus phendia lenge, "Me phenav tumenge, te terdiona won te tsipin, le bax si te tsipin."

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

⁴¹Ai kana pasholas pasha foro, O Jesus dikhelas pe Jerusalem ai rovelas,

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

⁴²ai phenelas, "Te zhanglianas ande kado dies le dieli kai si cha pachake! Numa akana garade le angla che iakha.

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,

⁴³Uni diesa avela pe tute kana che duzhmaia avena kruglom tutar, phandavena tu, ai chidena tu pa sako rik.

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.”

⁴⁴Phagavena tu ai sa le manushen mashkar tute; ai chi mekena pe tute te ashel bax pe baxeste ke chi zhanglian e vriama kana O Del avilo te skepil tu."

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

⁴⁵O Jesus avilo ande tampla, ai gonisardia sa kodolen kai bichinenas ai chinenas,

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

⁴⁶ai phenel lenge, "Ramome, 'Murho kher si o kher le rhugimasko; numa tume kerdian anda leste kher chorengo.'"

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.

⁴⁷O Jesus sicharelas swako dies ande tampla, ai le bare rasha, ai le Gramnoturia, ai le bare le narodoske rodenas te mudaren le Jesusos.

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

⁴⁸Numa chi zhanenas sar te keren; ke sa le manush drago lenge te ashunen leste.
