1 A ka tomo ia, a tika ana ra waenganui o Heriko,
2 Na ko tetahi tangata, ko Hakiaha te ingoa i huaina ai, he rangatira pupirikana, he tangata taonga ano:
3 I whai ia kia kite i a Ihu he pehea ranei ia: heoi kihai i taea ia i te mano, he tangata poto hoki.
4 Na ka oma ia ki mua, a kake ana ki tetahi hokamora, kia kite i a ia: meake hoki ia tika ra reira.
5 A, no ka tae a Ihu ki taua wahi, ka titiro ake, ka mea ki a ia, E Hakiaha, kia hohoro te heke iho; me noho hoki ahau ki tou whare aianei.
6 A hohoro tonu tona heke iho, a ka koa ki a ia hei manuhiri mana.
7 A, i to ratou kitenga, ka amuamu katoa, ka mea, Kua riro ia ki te tangata hara noho ai.
8 Na ka tu a Hakiaha, ka mea ki te Ariki, E te Ariki, na e hoatu ana e ahau te hawhe o aku taonga ki te hunga rawakore; a, ki te mea kua riro he mai i ahau te mea a tetahi, ka takiwhatia e ahau taku utu.
9 Na ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a ia, Nonaianei te ora i tae mai ai ki tenei whare, he tama nei hoki ia na Aperahama.
10 I haere mai hoki te Tama a te tangata ki te rapu, ki te whakaora i te mea i ngaro.
1 And having entered, he was passing through Jericho,
2 and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief tax-gatherer, and he was rich,
3 and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not able for the multitude, because in stature he was small,
4 and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore, that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to pass by.
5 And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw him, and said unto him, Zaccheus, having hastened, come down, for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;
6 and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him rejoicing;
7 and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying -- With a sinful man he went in to lodge!
8 And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, Lo, the half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one anything I did take by false accusation, I give back fourfold.
9 And Jesus said unto him -- To-day salvation did come to this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham;
10 for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
