Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1He entered and was passing through Jericho.
1Et ingressus perambulabat Jericho.
2There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.
2Et ecce vir nomine Zachæus: et hic princeps erat publicanorum, et ipse dives:
3He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.
3et quærebat videre Jesum, quis esset: et non poterat præ turba, quia statura pusillus erat.
4He ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.
4Et præcurrens ascendit in arborem sycomorum ut videret eum: quia inde erat transiturus.
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.”
5Et cum venisset ad locum, suspiciens Jesus vidit illum, et dixit ad eum: Zachæe, festinans descende: quia hodie in domo tua oportet me manere.
6He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.
6Et festinans descendit, et excepit illum gaudens.
7When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.”
7Et cum viderent omnes, murmurabant, dicentes quod ad hominem peccatorem divertisset.
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.”
8Stans autem Zachæus, dixit ad Dominum: Ecce dimidium bonorum meorum, Domine, do pauperibus: et si quid aliquem defraudavi, reddo quadruplum.
9Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
9Ait Jesus ad eum: Quia hodie salus domui huic facta est: eo quod et ipse filius sit Abrahæ.
10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”
10Venit enim Filius hominis quærere, et salvum facere quod perierat.
11As they heard these things, he went on and told a parable, because he was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that God’s Kingdom would be revealed immediately.
11Hæc illis audientibus adjiciens, dixit parabolam, eo quod esset prope Jerusalem: et quia existimarent quod confestim regnum Dei manifestaretur.
12He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
12Dixit ergo: Homo quidam nobilis abiit in regionem longinquam accipere sibi regnum, et reverti.
13He called ten servants of his and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’
13Vocatis autem decem servis suis, dedit eis decem mnas, et ait ad illos: Negotiamini dum venio.
14But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’
14Cives autem ejus oderant eum: et miserunt legationem post illum, dicentes: Nolumus hunc regnare super nos.
15“When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, 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.
15Et factum est ut rediret accepto regno: et jussit vocari servos, quibus dedit pecuniam, ut sciret quantum quisque negotiatus esset.
16The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’
16Venit autem primus dicens: Domine, mna tua decem mnas acquisivit.
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.’
17Et ait illi: Euge bone serve, quia in modico fuisti fidelis, eris potestatem habens super decem civitates.
18“The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’
18Et alter venit, dicens: Domine, mna tua fecit quinque mnas.
19“So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’
19Et huic ait: Et tu esto super quinque civitates.
20Another came, saying, ‘Lord, behold, your mina, which I kept laid away in a handkerchief,
20Et alter venit, dicens: Domine, ecce mna tua, quam habui repositam in sudario:
21for 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.’
21timui enim te, quia homo austerus es: tollis quod non posuisti, et metis quod non seminasti.
22“He said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will 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.
22Dicit ei: De ore tuo te judico, serve nequam. Sciebas quod ego homo austerus sum, tollens quod non posui, et metens quod non seminavi:
23Then why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank, and at my coming, I might have earned interest on it?’
23et quare non dedisti pecuniam meam ad mensam, ut ego veniens cum usuris utique exegissem illam?
24He said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina away from him and give it to him who has the ten minas.’
24Et astantibus dixit: Auferte ab illo mnam, et date illi qui decem mnas habet.
25“They said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
25Et dixerunt ei: Domine, habet decem mnas.
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.
26Dico autem vobis, quia omni habenti dabitur, et abundabit: ab eo autem qui non habet, et quod habet auferetur ab eo.
27But bring those enemies of mine who didn’t want me to reign over them here, and kill them before me.’”
27Verumtamen inimicos meos illos, qui noluerunt me regnare super se, adducite huc: et interficite ante me.
28Having said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
28Et his dictis, præcedebat ascendens Jerosolymam.
29When he came near to Bethsphage and Bethany, at the mountain that is called Olivet, he sent two of his disciples,
29Et factum est, cum appropinquasset ad Bethphage et Bethaniam, ad montem qui vocatur Oliveti, misit duos discipulos suos,
30saying, “Go your way into the village on the other side, in which, as you enter, you will find a colt tied, which no man has ever sat upon. Untie it and bring it.
30dicens: Ite in castellum quod contra est: in quod introëuntes, invenietis pullum asinæ alligatum, cui nemo umquam hominum sedit: solvite illum, et adducite.
31If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say to him: ‘The Lord needs it.’”
31Et si quis vos interrogaverit: Quare solvitis? sic dicetis ei: Quia Dominus operam ejus desiderat.
32Those who were sent went away and found things just as he had told them.
32Abierunt autem qui missi erant: et invenerunt, sicut dixit illis, stantem pullum.
33As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
33Solventibus autem illis pullum, dixerunt domini ejus ad illos: Quid solvitis pullum?
34They said, “The Lord needs it.”
34At illi dixerunt: Quia Dominus eum necessarium habet.
35Then they brought it to Jesus. They threw their cloaks on the colt and sat Jesus on them.
35Et duxerunt illum ad Jesum. Et jacentes vestimenta sua supra pullum, imposuerunt Jesum.
36As he went, they spread their cloaks on the road.
36Eunte autem illo, substernebant vestimenta sua in via:
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,
37et cum appropinquaret jam ad descensum montis Oliveti, cœperunt omnes turbæ discipulorum gaudentes laudare Deum voce magna super omnibus, quas viderant, virtutibus,
38saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest!”
38dicentes: Benedictus, qui venit rex in nomine Domini: pax in cælo, et gloria in excelsis.
39Some of the Pharisees from the multitude said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
39Et quidam pharisæorum de turbis dixerunt ad illum: Magister, increpa discipulos tuos.
40He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”
40Quibus ipse ait: Dico vobis, quia si hi tacuerint, lapides clamabunt.
41When he came near, he saw the city and wept over it,
41Et ut appropinquavit, videns civitatem flevit super illam, dicens:
42saying, “If you, even you, had known today the things which belong to your peace! But now, they are hidden from your eyes.
42Quia si cognovisses et tu, et quidem in hac die tua, quæ ad pacem tibi: nunc autem abscondita sunt ab oculis tuis.
43For the days will come on you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, surround you, hem you in on every side,
43Quia venient dies in te: et circumdabunt te inimici tui vallo, et circumdabunt te: et coangustabunt te undique:
44and 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.”
44et ad terram prosternent te, et filios tuos, qui in te sunt, et non relinquent in te lapidem super lapidem: eo quod non cognoveris tempus visitationis tuæ.
45He entered into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it,
45Et ingressus in templum, cœpit ejicere vendentes in illo, et ementes,
46saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of robbers’!”
46dicens illis: Scriptum est: Quia domus mea domus orationis est: vos autem fecistis illam speluncam latronum.
47He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.
47Et erat docens quotidie in templo. Principes autem sacerdotum, et scribæ, et princeps plebis quærebant illum perdere:
48They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.
48et non inveniebant quid facerent illi. Omnis enim populus suspensus erat, audiens illum.
