Vangelo secondo Luca - Luke 19

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και εισελθων διηρχετο την Ιεριχω?	1 And having entered, he walked through Jericho.
2 και ιδου, ανθρωπος ονομαζομενος Ζακχαιος, οστις ητο αρχιτελωνης, και ουτος ητο πλουσιος,	2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. And he was the leader of the tax collectors, and he was wealthy.
3 και εζητει να ιδη τον Ιησουν τις ειναι, και δεν ηδυνατο δια τον οχλον, διοτι ητο μικρος το αναστημα.	3 And he sought to see Jesus, to see who he was. But he was unable to do so, because of the crowd, for he was small in stature.
4 και δραμων εμπρος ανεβη επι συκομορεαν δια να ιδη αυτον? επειδη δι' εκεινης της οδου εμελλε να περαση.	4 And running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree, so that he might see him. For he was to pass near there.
5 Και ως ηλθεν εις τον τοπον ο Ιησους, αναβλεψας ειδεν αυτον και ειπε προς αυτον? Ζακχαιε, καταβα ταχεως? διοτι σημερον πρεπει να μεινω εν τω οικω σου.	5 And when he had arrived at the place, Jesus looked up and saw him, and he said to him: “Zacchaeus, hurry down. For today, I should lodge in your house.”
6 Και κατεβη ταχεως και υπεδεχθη αυτον μετα χαρας.	6 And hurrying, he came down, and he received him joyfully.
7 Και ιδοντες απαντες εγογγυζον, λεγοντες οτι εις αμαρτωλον ανθρωπον εισηλθε να καταλυση.	7 And when they all saw this, they murmured, saying that he had turned aside to a sinful man.
8 Σταθεις δε ο Ζακχαιος, ειπε προς τον Κυριον? Ιδου, τα ημιση των υπαρχοντων μου, Κυριε, διδω εις τους πτωχους, και εαν εσυκοφαντησα τινα εις τι, αποδιδω τετραπλουν.	8 But Zacchaeus, standing still, said to the Lord: “Behold, Lord, one half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have cheated anyone in any matter, I will repay him fourfold.”
9 Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο Ιησους οτι, Σημερον εγεινε σωτηρια εις τον οικον τουτον, καθοτι και αυτος υιος του Αβρααμ ειναι.	9 Jesus said to him: “Today, salvation has come to this house; because of this, he too is a son of Abraham.
10 Διοτι ο Υιος του ανθρωπου ηλθε να ζητηση και να σωση το απολωλος.	10 For the Son of man has come to seek and to save what had been lost.”
11 Και ενω αυτοι ηκουον ταυτα, προσθεσας ειπε παραβολην, διοτι ητο πλησιον της Ιερουσαλημ και αυτοι ενομιζον οτι η βασιλεια του Θεου εμελλεν ευθυς να φανη?	11 As they were listening to these things, continuing on, he spoke a parable, because he was nearing Jerusalem, and because they guessed that the kingdom of God might be manifested without delay.
12 ειπε λοιπον? Ανθρωπος τις ευγενης υπηγεν εις χωραν μακραν δια να λαβη εις εαυτον βασιλειαν και να υποστρεψη.	12 Therefore, he said: “A certain man of nobility traveled to a far away region, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13 Και καλεσας δεκα δουλους εαυτου, εδωκεν εις αυτους δεκα μνας και ειπε προς αυτους? Πραγματευθητε εωσου ελθω.	13 And calling his ten servants, he gave them ten pounds, and he said to them: ‘Do business until I return.’
14 Οι συμπολιται αυτου ομως εμισουν αυτον και απεστειλαν κατοπιν αυτου πρεσβεις, λεγοντες? Δεν θελομεν τουτον να βασιλευση εφ' ημας.	14 But his citizens hated him. And so they sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this one to reign over us.’
15 Και αφου υπεστρεψε λαβων την βασιλειαν, ειπε να προσκληθωσι προς αυτον οι δουλοι εκεινοι, εις τους οποιους εδωκε το αργυριον, δια να μαθη τι εκερδησεν εκαστος.	15 And it happened that he returned, having received the kingdom. And he ordered the servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called so that he would know how much each one had earned by doing business.
16 Και ηλθεν ο πρωτος, λεγων? Κυριε, η μνα σου εκερδησε δεκα μνας.	16 Now the first approached, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned ten pounds.’
17 Και ειπε προς αυτον? Ευγε, αγαθε δουλε? επειδη εις το ελαχιστον εφανης πιστος, εχε εξουσιαν επανω δεκα πολεων.	17 And he said to him: ‘Well done, good servant. Since you have been faithful in a small matter, you will hold authority over ten cities.’
18 Και ηλθεν ο δευτερος, λεγων? Κυριε, η μνα σου εκαμε πεντε μνας.	18 And the second came, saying: ‘Lord, your one pound has earned five pounds.’
19 Ειπε δε και προς τουτον? Και συ γενου εξουσιαστης επανω πεντε πολεων.	19 And he said to him, ‘And so, you shall be over five cities.’
20 Ηλθε και αλλος, λεγων? Κυριε, ιδου η μνα σου, την οποιαν ειχον πεφυλαγμενην εν μανδηλιω.	20 And another approached, saying: ‘Lord, behold your one pound, which I kept stored in a cloth.
21 Διοτι σε εφοβουμην, επειδη εισαι ανθρωπος αυστηρος? λαμβανεις ο, τι δεν κατεβαλες, και θεριζεις ο, τι δεν εσπειρας.	21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
22 Και λεγει προς αυτον? Εκ του στοματος σου θελω σε κρινει, πονηρε δουλε? ηξευρες οτι εγω ειμαι ανθρωπος αυστηρος, λαμβανων ο, τι δεν κατεβαλον, και θεριζων ο, τι δεν εσπειρα?	22 He said to him: ‘By your own mouth, do I judge you, O wicked servant. You knew that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow.
23 δια τι λοιπον δεν εδωκας το αργυριον μου εις την τραπεζαν, ωστε εγω ελθων ηθελον συναξει αυτο μετα του τοκου;	23 And so, why did you not give my money to the bank, so that, upon my return, I might have withdrawn it with interest?’
24 Και ειπε προς τους παρεστωτας? Αφαιρεσατε απ' αυτου την μναν και δοτε εις τον εχοντα τας δεκα μνας.	24 And he said to the bystanders, ‘Take the pound away from him, and give it to him who has ten pounds.’
25 Και ειπον προς αυτον? Κυριε, εχει δεκα μνας.	25 And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten pounds.’
26 Διοτι σας λεγω οτι εις παντα τον εχοντα θελει δοθη, απο δε του μη εχοντος και ο, τι εχει θελει αφαιρεθη απ' αυτου.	26 So then, I say to you, that to all who have, it shall be given, and he will have in abundance. And from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.
27 Πλην τους εχθρους μου εκεινους, οιτινες δεν με ηθελησαν να βασιλευσω επ' αυτους, φερετε εδω και κατασφαξατε εμπροσθεν μου.	27 ‘Yet truly, as for those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here, and put them to death before me.’ ”
28 Και ειπων ταυτα, προεχωρει αναβαινων εις Ιεροσολυμα.	28 And having said these things, he went ahead, ascending to Jerusalem.
29 Και ως επλησιασεν εις Βηθφαγη και Βηθανιαν, προς το ορος το καλουμενον Ελαιων, απεστειλε δυο των μαθητων αυτου,	29 And it happened that, when he had drawn near to Bethphage and Bethania, to the mount which is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
30 ειπων? Υπαγετε εις την κατεναντι κωμην, εις την οποιαν εμβαινοντες θελετε ευρει πωλαριον δεδεμενον, επι του οποιου ουδεις ανθρωπος εκαθησε ποτε? λυσατε αυτο και φερετε.	30 saying: “Go into the town which is opposite you. Upon entering it, you will find the colt of a donkey, tied, on which no man has ever sat. Untie it, and lead it here.
31 Και εαν τις σας ερωτηση, Δια τι λυετε αυτο ουτω θελετε ειπει προς αυτον, Οτι ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτου.	31 And if anyone will ask you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this to him: ‘Because the Lord has requested its service.’ ”
32 Υπηγαν δε οι απεσταλμενοι και ευρον καθως ειπε προς αυτους?	32 And those who were sent went out, and they found the colt standing, just as he told them.
33 και ενω ελυον το πωλαριον, ειπον προς αυτους οι κυριοι αυτου? Δια τι λυετε το πωλαριον;	33 Then, as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
34 Οι δε ειπον? Ο Κυριος εχει χρειαν αυτου,	34 So they said, “Because the Lord has need of it.”
35 και εφεραν αυτο προς τον Ιησουν? και ριψαντες επι το πωλαριον τα ιματια αυτων, επεκαθισαν τον Ιησουν.	35 And they led it to Jesus. And casting their garments on the colt, they helped Jesus onto it.
36 Ενω δε επορευετο, υπεστρωνον τα ιματια αυτων εις την οδον.	36 Then, as he was traveling, they were laying down their garments along the way.
37 Και οτε επλησιαζεν ηδη εις την καταβασιν του ορους των Ελαιων, ηρχισαν απαν το πληθος των μαθητων χαιροντες να υμνωσι τον Θεον μεγαλοφωνως δια παντα τα θαυματα, τα οποια ειδον,	37 And when he was now drawing near to the descent of Mount Olivet, the entire crowd of his disciples began to praise God joyfully, with a loud voice, over all the powerful works which they had seen,
38 λεγοντες? Ευλογημενος ο ερχομενος Βασιλευς εν ονοματι του Κυριου? ειρηνη εν ουρανω, και δοξα εν υψιστοις.	38 saying: “Blessed is the king who has arrived in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory on high!”
39 Και τινες των Φαρισαιων απο του οχλου ειπον προς αυτον? Διδασκαλε, επιπληξον τους μαθητας σου.	39 And certain Pharisees within the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 Και αποκριθεις ειπε προς αυτους? Σας λεγω οτι εαν ουτοι σιωπησωσιν, οι λιθοι θελουσι φωναξει.	40 And he said to them, “I tell you, that if these will keep silent, the stones themselves will cry out.”
41 Και οτε επλησιασεν, ιδων την πολιν εκλαυσεν επ' αυτην,	41 And when he drew near, seeing the city, he wept over it, saying:
42 λεγων, Ειθε να εγνωριζες και συ, τουλαχιστον εν τη ημερα σου ταυτη, τα προς ειρηνην σου αποβλεποντα? αλλα τωρα εκρυφθησαν απο των οφθαλμων σου?	42 “If only you had known, indeed even in this your day, which things are for your peace. But now they are hidden from your eyes.
43 διοτι θελουσιν ελθει ημεραι επι σε και οι εχθροι σου θελουσι καμει χαρακωμα περι σε, και θελουσι σε περικυκλωσει και θελουσι σε στενοχωρησει πανταχοθεν,	43 For the days will overtake you. And your enemies will encircle you with a valley. And they will surround you and hem you in on every side.
44 και θελουσι κατεδαφισει σε και τα τεκνα σου εν σοι, και δεν θελουσιν αφησει εν σοι λιθον επι λιθον, διοτι δεν εγνωρισας τον καιρον της επισκεψεως σου.	44 And they will knock you down to the ground, with your sons who are in you. And they will not leave stone upon stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”
45 Και εισελθων εις το ιερον, ηρχισε να εκβαλλη τους πωλουντας εν αυτω και αγοραζοντας,	45 And entering into the temple, he began to cast out those who sold in it, and those who bought,
46 λεγων προς αυτους? Ειναι γεγραμμενον, Ο οικος μου ειναι οικος προσευχης? σεις δε εκαμετε αυτον σπηλαιον ληστων.	46 saying to them: “It is written: ‘My house is a house of prayer.’ But you have made it into a den of robbers.”
47 Και εδιδασκε καθ' ημεραν εν τω ιερω οι δε αρχιερεις και οι γραμματεις και οι πρωτοι του λαου εζητουν να απολεσωσιν αυτον.	47 And he was teaching in the temple daily. And the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the leaders of the people were seeking to destroy him.
48 Και δεν ευρισκον το τι να πραξωσι? διοτι πας ο λαος ητο προσηλωμενος εις το να ακουη αυτον.	48 But they could not find what to do to him. For all the people were listening to him attentively.
