And (kai) he (autos) was being (ēn) [a] chief termination-tax collector5057 (architelōnēs), and (kai) he (autos) [was being, RE] [a] wealthy one (plousios).

 

Luke 19:3 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he was searching (ezētei) to see (idein) the (ton) Jesus (Iēsoun), who (tis) he is (estin).

 

And (kai) he could absolutely not empower himself (ouk ēdunato) [to see, RE] from (apo) the (tou) crowd (ochlou), because (hoti) the (tē) stature (hēlikia) [of Zacchaeus, v2, RE] was being (ēn) [a] small one (mikros).

 

Luke 19:4 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he having run before (prodramōn) [the Jesus, v3, RE] into (eis) the (to) front (emprosthen), he stepped up (anebē) upon (epi) [a] sycamine tree (sukomorean) in order that (hina) he might see (idē) him (auton), because (hoti) he was being about (ēmellen) to cause himself to come through (dierchesthai).

 

Luke 19:5 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) as (hōs) he came (ēlthen) upon (epi) the (ton) place (topon), having looked up (anablepsas) the (ho) Jesus (Iēsous) enunciated (eipen) to (pros) him (auton), “Zacchaeus, (Zakchaie), having made haste (speusas) step down (katabēthi).

Luke 19:6 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he having made haste (speusas), he stepped down (katebē).

 

And (kai) he caused himself to receive (hupedexato) him (auton), rejoicing (chairōn).

 

Luke 19:7 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) all (pantes) having seen (idontes), they were murmuring through (diegongusan), saying (legontes) that (hoti), “Alongside (para) to [a] sinful (hamartōlō) male (andri) he entered in (eisēlthen) to relax (katalusai)!”

 

Luke 19:8 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) Zacchaeus (Zakchaios) having been caused to stand (statheis), he enunciated (eipen) to (pros) the (ton) lord (kurion), “Behold (idou), the (ta) half (hēmisia) of the (tōn) things being under control (huparchontōn) of me (mou), lord (kurie), I give (didōmi) to the (tois) poor ones (ptōchois)!

 

And (kai) if (ei) I fig informed4811 (esukophantēsa) someone (tinos) of anything (ti), I give away (apodidōmi) [to him, AE] four times more (tetraploun).”

Luke 19:15 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) it caused itself to come to pass (egeneto) in (en) the (tō) [time, AE] of him (auton) to come upon (epanelthein) [the citizens of him, v14, RE], he having received (labonta) the (tēn) kingdom932 (basileian), he enunciated (eipen) also (kai) for the (tous) slaves (doulous) to be sounded for (phōnēthēnai) for him (autō), for these (toutous) to whom (hois) he had given (dedōkei) the (to) silver (argurion), in order that (hina) he may know (gnoi) what (ti) [they worked toward, v16, RE] through causing themselves to stay busy (diepragmateusanto).

 

Luke 19:16 (LIT/UBS4) But (de) the (ho) first one (prōtos) caused himself to come (paregeneto), saying (legōn), ‘Lord (kurie), the (hē) mina (mna) of you (sou) caused itself to work for itself (prosērgasato), for ten (deka) minas (mnas)!’

 

Luke 19:17 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) he enunciated (eipen) to him (autō), ‘Well done (euge), good (agathe) slave (doule)!

 

Because (hoti) in (en) [a] least thing (elachistō) you caused yourself to become (egenou) [a] believable one (pistos), be (isthi) one having (echōn) authority (exousian) over (epanō) ten (deka) cities (poleōn)!'

 

Luke 19:18 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) the (ho) second (deuteros) came (ēlthen), saying (legōn), ‘The (hē) mina (mna) of you (sou), lord (kurie), made (epoiēsen) five (pente) minas (mnas)!’

Luke 19:21 (LIT/UBS4) Because (gar) I was being made fearful (ephoboumēn) of you (se), because (hoti) you are (ei) [an] austere (austēros) mortal (anthrōpos);

 

you steal (aireis) that which (ho) you absolutely did not put in place (ouk ethēkas), and (kai) you harvest (therizeis) that which (ho) you absolutely did not sow (ouk espeiras)!’

 

Luke 19:22 (LIT/UBS4) He says (legei) to him (autō), ‘Out (ek) of the (tou) mouth (stomatos) of you (sou) I shall judge (krinō) you (se), evil (ponēre) slave (doule)!

 

You had seen (ēdeis) that (hoti) I (egō) was (eimi) [an] austere (austēros) mortal (anthrōpos), stealing (airōn) that which (ho) I absolutely did not put in place (ouk ethēka), and (kai) harvesting (therizōn) that which (ho) I absolutely did not sow (ouk espeira)!

 

Luke 19:23 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) through (dia) what (ti) [reason, AE] did you absolutely not give (ouk edōkas) the (to) silver (argurion) of me (mou) over (epi) [a] [money changer’s, AE] table (trapezan)!?

 

And I (kagō) having come (elthōn), perhaps (an) I would have habitually practiced (epraxa) it (auto) with (sun) interest (tokō)!?

 

Luke 19:24 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) to the ones (tois) having stood alongside (parestōsin) he enunciated (eipen), ‘Remove (arate) from (ap’) him (autou) the (tēn) mina (mnan), and (kai) give (dote) [it, AE] to the one (tō) having (echonti) the (tas) ten (deka) minas (mnas).”

 

Luke 19:25 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) they enunciated (eipan) to him (autō), ‘Lord (kurie), he has (echei) ten (deka) minas (mnas)!’

 

Luke 19:26 (LIT/UBS4) I say (legō) to you (humin), that (hoti) to everyone (panti), to the one (tō) having (echonti) [more, AE], [more, AE]shall be given (dothēsetai).

 

But (de) from (apo) the one (tou) not (mē) having (echontos) [more, AE], what (ho) he has (echei) shall be removed (arthēsetai) also (kai).

 

Luke 19:27 (LIT/UBS4) Moreover (plēn), the ones (tous) hated (echthrous) of me (mou), the ones (tous) having desired (thelēsantas) me (me) not (mē) to be king (basileusai) over (ep’) them (autous), lead (agagete) them (autous) here (hodē), and (kai) slaughter them down (katasphaxate autous) in front (emprosthen) of me (mou)!”

And (kai) you having let it loose (lusantes auton), lead (agagete) [it to me, AE].

 

Luke 19:31 (LIT/UBS4) And (kai) if perhaps (ean) someone (tis) may inquire (erōta) of you (humas), ‘Through (dia) what (ti) [reason, AE] do you loosen (luete) [the foal, v30, RE]?’ you shall state (ereite) thusly (houtōs), that (hoti), ‘The (ho) lord (kurios) has (echei) [a] need (chreian) of it (autou).’”
