1 En Hy het in J,rigo gekom en daar deurgegaan.

2 En daar was 'n man met die naam van Sagg,Âs, 'n hoof van die tollenaars en 'n ryk man.

3 En hy het probeer om Jesus te sien, wie Hy was; maar vanweë die skare kon hy nie, omdat hy klein van persoon was.

4 En hy het vooruit gehardloop en in 'n wildevyeboom geklim, sodat hy Hom kon sien, want Hy sou daarlangs verbygaan.

5 En toe Jesus by die plek kom, kyk Hy op en sien hom en sê vir hom: Sagg,Âs, maak gou en klim af, want Ek moet vandag in jou huis bly.

6 Hy maak toe gou en klim af en het Hom met blydskap ontvang.

7 En toe almal dit sien, het hulle gemurmureer en gesê: Hy het by 'n sondige man tuisgegaan.

8 Maar Sagg,Âs het gaan staan en aan die Here gesê: Here, kyk, die helfte van my goed gee ek vir die armes; en as ek van iemand iets afgepers het, gee ek dit vierdubbel terug.

9 Toe sê Jesus aan hom: Vandag het daar redding vir hierdie huis gekom, aangesien hierdie man ook 'n seun van Abraham is.

10 Want die Seun van die mens het gekom om te soek en te red wat verlore was.

1 And he went into Jericho, and when he was going through it,

2 A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,

3 Made an attempt to get a view of Jesus, and was not able to do so, because of the people, for he was a small man.

4 And he went quickly in front of them and got up into a tree to see him, for he was going that way.

5 And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

6 And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

7 And when they saw it, they were all angry, saying, He has gone into the house of a sinner.

8 And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour.
