1 Nonācis Jērikā, Jēzus gāja pilsētai cauri.
2 Un, lūk, tur bija kāds cilvēks, vārdā Caķejs, tas bija virsmuitnieks, bagāts vīrs.
3 Viņš gribēja Jēzu redzēt, kāds viņš esot, bet nevarēja ļaužu dēļ, jo viņš bija mazs no auguma.
4 Tad viņš, aizskrējis priekšā kādu gabalu, uzkāpa vīģes kokā, lai Jēzu varētu redzēt, jo viņam tur bija jāiet garām.
5 Bet Jēzus, tai vietā nācis, paskatījās uz augšu un uzrunāja viņu: „Caķej, kāp steigšus zemē, jo man šodien jāiegriežas tavā namā.“
6 Un tas steigšus nokāpa zemē un viņu uzņēma pie sevis ar prieku.
7 To redzot, visi kurnēja un sacīja: „Pie grēcīga cilvēka viņš ir apmeties!“
8 Bet Caķejs piegāja pie Jēzus un sacīja: „Kungs, pusi no savas mantas es gribu dot nabagiem, un, ko es citiem esmu izspiedis, es četrkārtīgi gribu atdot.“
9 Jēzus sacīja viņam: „Šodien šim namam pestīšana notikusi, tāpēc ka ari šis ir Ābrahāma dēls.
10 Jo Cilvēka Dēls ir nācis meklēt un glābt pazudušo.“
11 Viņiem klausoties, tas stāstīja vēl vienu līdzību, tamdēļ ka viņi, Jēzum tuvu pie Jeruzalemes esot, domāja, ka tūliņ vajaga parādīties Dieva valstībai.
12 Viņš teica: „Kāds augstas kārtas cilvēks devās ceļā uz tālu zemi, lai saņemtu valstību un pēc tam pārnāktu mājās.
13 Un, ataicinājis desmit no saviem kalpiem, viņš tiem iedeva desmit podus un sacīja tiem: Pelnaities ar to, tiekāms es pārnākšu.
14 Bet viņa tautieši, viņu ienīzdami, viņam aiz muguras nosūtīja vēstnešus un lika pateikt: Mēs negribam, ka šis pār mums valda.
15 Bet viņš pārnāca, kad bija valdību saņēmis, un nu lika atsaukt kalpus, kubiem viņš bija iedevis naudu, lai pārliecinātos, ko katrs ar to ir darījis.
16 Tad ieradās pirmais un sacīja: Kungs, tavs pods ir piepelnījis desmit podus.
17 Tad viņš tam teica: Labi, tu godīgais kalps, tāpēc ka tu mazā lietā esi bijis uzticams, es tev dodu varu pār desmit pilsētām.
18 Pēc tam nāca otrs un sacīja: Tavs pods, kungs, piepelnījis piecus podus.
19 Ari šim viņš sacīja: Ari tevi es iecelšu pār piecām pilsētām.
20 Pēc tam trešais nāca un sacīja: Kungs, še ir tavs pods, es to biju nogla-bājis sviedrautā.
21 Jo es baidījos no tevis tāpēc, ka tu esi bargs cilvēks un ņemi, ko tu neesi nolicis, kā ari plauji, ko neesi sējis.
22 Tad viņš sacīja: No tavas mutes es tevi tiesāšu, tu nekrietnais kalps! Ja tu zināji, ka es esmu bargs cilvēks, kas nem, kur viņš nav licis, un pļauj, ko viņš nav sējis,
23 Kāpēc tad tu manu naudu neesi nodevis naudas iestādē? Tad es, pārnācis, to ar augļiem būtu saņēmis atpakaļ.
24 Un uz klātesošiem viņš teica: Atņemiet tam viņa podu un dodiet tam, kam ir desmit podu.
25 Tad tie sacīja viņam: Kungs, viņam jau ir desmit podu.
26 Bet viņš atbildēja: Es jums saku: katram, kam ir, dos, bet, kam nav, tam atņems arī to, kas tam ir.
27 Bet tos manus ienaidniekus, kas negribēja, lai es pār tiem valdītu, atvediet šurp un nokaujiet manā priekšā!“
28 Un to sacījis, viņš devās tālāk uz Jeruzālemi.
29 Kad nu viņš bija tuvu pie Betfagas un Betānijas, pie tā sauktā Eļļas kalna, tad viņš sūtījadivus no saviem mācekļiem,
30 Tiem sacīdams: „Eita uz to miestu, kas atrodas jūsu priekšā; tur jūs atradīsit piesietu ēzeļa kumeļu, uz kuju vēl neviens cilvēks nav sēdējis. To atraisait un atvediet šurp.
31 Un ja kāds jums jautā, kāpēc jūs to atraisāt, tad atbildiet: Tam Kungam viņa vajaga.“
32 Un tie, kas bija sūtīti, nogāja un atrada tā, kā viņš tiem bija sacījis.
33 Bet kad tie gribēja atraisīt kumeļu, tā īpašnieki viņiem jautāja: „Kāpēc jūs to raisāt vaļā?“
34 Bet tie atbildēja: „Tam Kungam viņa vajaga.“
35 Un aizveduši to Jēzum, tie uzklāja kumeļam savas drēbes un uzsēdināja Jēzu tam virsū.
36 Bet, viņam jājot, tie izklāja savas drēbes uz ceļu.
37 Bet, kad viņš tuvojās Ellas kalna nogāzei, viss mācekļu pulks skaņā balsī priecīgi sāka slavēt Dievu par visiem brīnumdarbiem, kujrus tie bija redzējuši,
38 Un sauca: „Slavēts, kas nāk, mūsu ķēniņš, tā Kunga vārdā! Debesīs nu ir miers, un slava augstībā.“
39 Tad kādi no farizējiem, kas bija starp ļaudīm, viņam sacīja: „Mācītāj, apsauc savus mācekļus!“
40 Bet viņš atbildēja: „Es jums saku, ja šie klusēs, tad akmeņi brēks.“
41 Un pienācis tuvu, viņš, pilsētu ieraudzījis, raudāja par viņu
42 Un sacīja: „Kaut arī tu šodien zinātu, kas tev pie miera vajadzīgs! Bet vēl tas ir apslēpts tavām acīm.
43 Jo nāks dienas pār tevi, kad tavi ienaidnieki ap tevi cels nocietinājumus, tevi ielenks un no visām pusēm spaidīs.
44 Tie tevi nopostīs līdz pamatiem un tavus bērnus, neatstādami no tevis akmeni uz akmens, tāpēc ka tu neesi atzinusi savu apžēlošanas laiku.“
45 Pēc tam viņš iegāja dievnamā un sāka izdzīt pārdevējus,
46 Sacīdams uz tiem: „Ir rakstīts: Mans nams ir lūgšanas nams, bet jūs to esat pārvērtuši par laupītāju bedri.“
47 Viņs katru dienu mācīja templī. Bet augstie priestejri un rakstu mācītāji, ir tie, kas stāvēja tautas priekšgalā, domāja par to, kā viņu nomaitāt,
48 Bet nezināja, kā to darīt, jo visa tauta viņam bija pieķērusies un klausīja viņu.
1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchæus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way . 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchæus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it , they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchæus 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 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
28 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29 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 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you ; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither . 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him ? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37 And when he was come nigh, 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 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 ¶ And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 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 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, 44 And shall lay thee even with 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 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought; 46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves. 47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
