1 و َدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ أرِيحا وَراحَ يَمشِي فِيها.

¶ And Jesus, having entered, was passing through Jericho;

2 ف َجاءَ رَجُلٌ اسْمُهُ زَكّا، وهُوَ رَجُلٌ غَنيٌ مِنْ كِبارِ جامِعِي الضَّرائِبِ،

and, behold, a man named Zacchaeus, who was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

3 و َأرادَ أنْ يَرَى مَنْ يَكُونُ يَسُوعُ. لَكِنَّهُ عَجِزَ عَنْ رُؤيَتِهِ بِسَبَبِ الحَشدِ، لأنَّهُ قَصِيْرَ القامَةِ.

And he sought to see who Jesus was and could not for the crowd because he was small of stature.

4 ف َرَكَضَ وَسَبَقَ الجَمِيعَ، وَتَسَلَّقَ شَجَرَةَ جُمِّيْزٍ راجِياً أنْ يَرَى يَسُوعَ الَّذِي كانَ سَيَمُرُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ المَكانِ.

And running ahead, he climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was to pass that way.

5 و َعِندَما وَصَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى المَكانِ، رَفَعَ بَصَرَهُ وَقالَ لَهُ: «يا زَكّا، عَجِّلْ بِالنُّزُولِ، لِأنَّهُ لا بُدَّ أنْ أمْكُثَ اليَومَ فِي بَيتِكَ.»

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste and come down; for today I must abide at thy house.

6 ف َنَزَلَ بِسُرعَةٍ وَاستَضافَهُ فِي بَيتِهِ فَرِحاً.

And he made haste and came down and received him joyfully.

7 ف َلَمّا رَأى النّاسُ ذَلِكَ، بَدَأُوا يَتَذَمَّرُونَ وَيَقولونَ: «لَقَدْ ذَهَبَ لِيَحِلَّ ضَيفاً عَلَى إنسانٍ خاطِئٍ.»

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

8 أ مّا زَكّا فَقَدْ وَقَفَ وَقالَ لِلرَّبِّ: «يا رَبُّ! ها أنا سَأُعطِي نِصفَ ما أملكُهُ لِلفُقَراء. وَإنْ كُنْتُ قَدِ ظَلَمْتُ أحَداً، فَإنِّي سَأُعَوِّضُهُ بِأربَعَةِ أضعافٍ.»

Then Zacchaeus stood and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

9 ف َقالَ يَسُوعُ: «اليَومَ جاءَ الخَلاصُ إلَى هَذا البَيتِ. فَهَذا الرَّجُلُ هُوَ أيضاً ابنٌ لإبراهِيمَ.

And Jesus said unto him, This day saving health is come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 ل ِأنَّ ابنَ الإنسانَ جاءَ لِكَي يَجِدَ الضّائِعِيْنَ فَيُخَلِّصَهُمْ.» استَخدِمْ ما يُعطِيكَ الله

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11 و َبَينَما كانَ النّاسُ يَستَمِعُونَ إلَى هَذِهِ الأُمُورِ، رَوَى لَهُمْ يَسوعُ مَثَلاً لِأنَّهُ كانَ قَرِيباً مِنَ مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ، وَظَنَّ النّاسُ أنَّهُ سَيُعلِنُ قِيامَ مَلَكوتَ اللهِ عَلَى الفورِ!

¶ And as they heard these things, he added and spoke a parable because he was near to Jerusalem and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately be manifested.

12 ف َقالَ لَهُمْ: «ذَهَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أصلٍ كَرِيمٍ إلَى بَلَدٍ بَعِيدٍ لِكَي يُتَوَّجَ مَلِكاً ثُمَّ يَعُودُ.

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

13 ف َدَعا خُدّامَهُ العَشْرَةَ وَأعطَى كُلَّ واحِدٍ مِنهُمْ قِطعَةً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَقالَ لَهُمْ: ‹تاجِرُوا بِها إلَى أنْ أعُودَ.›

And having called ten of his slaves, he delivered them ten minas and said unto them, Trade until I come.

14 ل َكِنَّ أهلَ بِلادِهِ كانُوا يُبغِضُونَهُ، فَأرسَلُوا وَفداً بَعدَهُ لِيَقُولَ: ‹لا نُرِيدُ أنْ يَكُونَ هَذا الرَّجُلُ مَلِكاً عَلَينا!›

But his citizens hated him and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 « إلّا أنَّهُ تُوِّجَ مَلِكاً وَعادَ إلَى وَطَنِهِ. ثُمَّ استَدعَى خُدّامَهُ الَّذِينَ أعطاهُمُ المالَ لِيَعرِفَ مِقدارَ الرِّبحِ الَّذِي حَقَّقُوهُ.

And it came to pass that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these slaves to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much each one had gained by trading.

16 ف َجاءَ الأوَّلُ وَقالَ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، لَقَدْ رَبِحَتْ قِطعَتُكَ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ عَشْرَ قِطَعٍ أُخْرَى.›

Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy mina has gained ten minas.

17 ف َقالَ لَهُ سَيِّدُهُ: ‹أحسَنتَ أيُّها العَبدُ الصّالِحُ. كُنتَ أمِيناً فِي أمرٍ صَغِيرٍ، لِهَذا سَأُعَيِّنُكَ والِياً عَلَى عَشْرِ مُدُنٍ.›

And he said unto him, Well done, thou good slave; because thou hast been faithful in a very little, thou shalt have authority over ten cities.

18 « ثُمَّ جاءَ الخادِمُ الثّانِي وَقالَ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، لَقَدْ رَبِحَتْ قِطعَتُكَ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ خَمسَ قِطَعٍ أُخْرَى.›

And the second came, saying, Lord, thy mina has made five minas.

19 ف َقالَ لِهَذا الخادِمِ: ‹سَأُعَيِّنُكَ والِياً عَلَى خَمسِ مُدُنٍ.›

And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 « ثُمَّ جاءَ خادِمٌ آخَرُ وَقالَ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، خُذْ قِطعَتُكَ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ. لَقَدْ حَفِظتُها فِي مِندِيلٍ.

And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy mina, which I have kept laid up in a napkin,

21 ف َأنا كُنتُ أخشاكَ، لِأنَّكَ إنسانٌ قاسٍ، تَأخُذُ ما لَيسَ لَكَ، وَتَحصُدُ ما لَمْ تَبذُرْ.›

for I feared thee because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that which thou didst not lay down and dost reap that which thou didst not sow.

22 « فَقالَ السَّيِّدُ لَهُ: ‹بِكَلامِكَ سَأحكُمُ عَلَيكَ أيُّها الخادِمُ الشِّرِّيرُ. أنتَ تَقُولُ إنَّكَ عَرَفْتَ أنِّي إنسانٌ قاسٍ، آخُذُ ما لَيسَ لِي، وَأحصُدُ ما لَمْ أبذُرْ.

Then he said unto him, Out of thine own mouth I will judge thee, thou wicked slave. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that which I did not lay down, and reaping that which I did not sow;

23 ف َلِماذا لَمْ تَضَعْ مالِي فِي المَصرِفِ، فَاسْتَرِدَّهُ مَعَ الفائِدَةِ مَتَى عُدْتُ؟›

why then didst thou not give my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required my own with interest?

24 و َقالَ لِلواقِفِينَ عَلَى مَقرُبَةٍ مِنهُ: ‹خُذُوا قِطعَتَهُ الذَّهَبِيَّةَ مِنهُ، وَأعطُوها لِصاحِبِ القِطَعِ الذَّهَبِيَّةِ العَشرَةِ.›

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

25 « فَقالُوا لَهُ: ‹يا سَيِّدُ، لَدَيهِ عَشرُ قِطَعٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ.›

(And they said unto him, Lord, he has ten minas.)

26 « فَأجابَ السَّيِّدُ: ‹أقُولُ لَكُمْ، سَيُعطَى المَزِيدُ لِمَنْ يَملِكُ، أمّا الَّذِي لا يَملِكُ شَيئاً، فَسَيُنتَزَعُ مِنهُ حَتَّى ما يَملِكُهُ.

For I say unto you, That unto every one who has shall be given; and from him that has not, even that which he has shall be taken away from him.

27 أ مّا أعدائِي الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَرضُوا بِأنْ أكُونَ مَلِكاً عَلَيهِمْ، فَأحضِرُوهُمْ إلَى هُنا، وَاذبَحُوهُمْ أمامي.›» يَسُوعُ يَدخُلُ مَدينَةَ القُدس

Moreover, those enemies of mine, who were unwilling that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.

28 و َبَعدَ أنْ قالَ يَسُوعُ هَذا الكَلامَ تابَعَ طَرِيقَهُ مُتَوَجِّهاً إلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ.

¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29 و َاقتَرَبَ مِنْ بَيتِ فاجِي وَبَيتِ عَنيا عِندَ التَّلَّةِ الَّتِي تُدعَى جَبَلَ الزَّيتُونِ. فَأرسَلَ اثْنَينِ مِنْ تَلامِيذِهِ

And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 و َقالَ لَهُما: «اذهَبا إلَى القَريَةِ الَّتِي أمامَكُما. وَعِندَما تَدخُلانِها، سَتَجِدانِ حِماراً صَغِيراً مَربُوطاً لَمْ يَركَبْهُ أحَدٌ مِنْ قَبلُ، فَحُلّاهُ وَأحضِراهُ إلَى هُنا.

saying, Go ye into the village over against you, in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, upon whom no one has ever sat; loose him, and bring him here.

31 و َإذا سَألَكُمْ أحَدٌ: ‹لِماذا تَحُلّانِهِ؟› قُولا: ‹الرَّبُّ يَحتاجُ إلَيهِ.›

And if anyone asks you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord has need of him.

32 ف َذَهَبَ التِّلمِيذانِ وَوَجَدا كُلَّ شَيءٍ كَما قالَ لَهُما يَسُوعُ.

And those that were sent went and found even as he had said unto them.

33 و َفيما هُما يَحُلّانِ الحِمارَ، سَألَهُما أصحابُهُ: «لِماذا تَحُلّانِهِ؟»

And as they were loosing the colt, its owners said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 ف َقالا: «الرَّبُّ يَحتاجُ إلَيهِ.»

And they said, The Lord has need of him.

35 ف َجاءا بِهِ إلَى يَسُوعَ، وَوَضَعا رِداءَيْهِما عَلَيْهِ، وَأركَبا يَسُوعَ.

And they brought him to Jesus, and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus upon it.

36 و َبَينَما كانَ يَسُوعُ مُجتازاً، أخَذَ النّاسُ يَفرِشُونَ أردِيَتَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ.

And as he went, they spread their garments in the way.

37 و َاقتَرَبَ مِنْ مُنحَدَرِ جَبَلِ الزَّيتُونِ. حينَئِذٍ ابْتَدَأتْ حُشُودُ أتباعِهِ كُلُّهِمْ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ بِفَرَحٍ بِأصواتٍ عالِيَةٍ مِنْ أجلِ كُلِّ المُعجِزاتِ الَّتِي رَأوها.

And when he was come near, even now 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 ف َسَبَّحُوا وَقالوا: ‹مُبارَكٌ المَلِكُ الَّذِي يَأْتِي بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ! فِي السَّماءِ سَلامٌ، وَالمَجدُ للهِ فِي الأعالِي!›

saying, Blessed be the King that comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 ف َقالَ بَعضُ الفِرِّيسِيِّينَ الَّذِينَ فِي جُمُوعِ النّاسِ لِيَسُوعَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، وَبِّخْ تَلامِيذَكَ!»

And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 ف َأجابَ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنْ سَكَتُوا هُمْ، فَسَتَصرُخُ الحِجارَةُ!» يَسُوعُ يَبكِي عَلَى مَدينَةِ القُدْس

And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that if these should be silent, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 و َعِندَما اقتَرَبَ يَسُوعُ، رَأى المَدِينَةَ فَبَكَى عَلَيها.

¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city and wept over it,

42 و َقالَ: «لَيتَكِ اليَومَ تَعرِفِينَ مَصدَرَ سَلامِكِ، لَكِنَّ ذَلِكَ مَخفِيٌّ عَنْ عَينَيكِ الآنَ.

saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 س َتَأْتِي عَلَيكِ أيّامٌ، يَبنِي فِيها أعداؤُكِ الحَواجِزَ حَولَكِ. سَيُحاصِرُونَكِ وَيَضغَطُونَ عَلَيكِ مِنْ كُلِّ الجِهاتِ.

For the days shall come upon thee that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee and compass thee round and constrain thee on every side

44 س َيُدَمِّرُونَكِ أنتِ وَأهلَكِ، وَلَنْ يَترُكُوا حَجَراً عَلَى حَجَرٍ داخِلَ أسوارِكِ، لِأنَّكِ لَمْ تُدرِكِي وَقتَ مَجِيءِ اللهِ إلَيكِ لِكَي يُخَلِّصَكِ.›» يَسُوعُ يَطرُدُ التُّجّارَ مِنْ ساحَةِ الهَيكَل

and shall cast thee down to the ground and thy children within thee, and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 و َدَخَلَ يَسُوعُ ساحَةَ الهَيكَلِ، وَبَدَأ يَطرُدُ الَّذِينَ كانُوا يَبِيعُونَ هُناكَ.

And he went into the temple and began to cast out those selling and buying therein,

46 و َقالَ: «مَكتُوبٌ: ‹بَيتِي بَيتُ صَلاةٍ،› لَكِنَّكُمْ حَوَّلتُمُوهُ إلَى ‹وَكْرِ لُصُوصِ!›»

saying unto them, It is written, My house is a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.

47 و َكانَ يَسُوعُ يُعَلِّمُ كُلَّ يَومٍ فِي ساحَةِ الهَيكَلِ، فيما كانَ كِبارُ الكَهَنَةِ وَمُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ وَقادَةُ الشَّعبِ يَبحَثُونَ عَنْ طَرِيقَةٍ يَقتُلُونَهُ بِها.

And he taught daily in the temple. But the princes of the priests and the scribes and the principals of the people sought to kill him

48 غ َيْرَ أنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا إلَى ذَلِكَ سَبِيلاً، فَقَدْ كانَ كُلُّ النّاسِ مُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِكَلامِهِ.

and could not find what they might do, for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
