Light Giver 19

1 And he who has entered was passing through the Fragrance of Himself ("Jericho").
2 And behold! a male he who is being summoned by a name of Clarity ("Zakkai") and he, himself was a head of the tax farmers, and himself, a rich one.
3 And he was searching to perceive the Salvation, who he is. And he was not able away from the Multitude because he was a little one in the Age.
4 And he who ran forward into the Front, he climbed up upon a sycamore-fig tree so that he might perceive himself, because that one he was destined to pass through.

מקום - standing place, position, spot (Point of View)

5 And just as he came upon the Place/Point of View, he who has looked up, the Salvation said toward himself, "Clarity ("Zakkai") he who has made haste, climb down, for today it behooves myself to remain within the Household of yourself!
6 And he who has made haste, climbed down and took under himself, he who is rejoicing.
7 And those who have perceived, everyone was cooing/murmuring across, those who say that he entered close beside a man missing the mark, to tear down!
8 And he who has stood ready, Clarity, he said toward the Master, "Behold! the Halves of myself,⁷⁰ of the things presently at my disposal, Master, I am giving to the cowering ones, and if I have falsely accused a certain one of anything, I am restoring quadruple!
9 And the Salvation said toward himself that Today, a salvation, she has become to the Household, this one, according as he is also a son of Father of Multitude ("Abraham")!
10 For the Son of the Man came to search for and to save the one which has been destroyed away/perished!
11 And those who were hearing of themselves, he who has added these things, spoke a comparison because of the Being Near of Himself to Foundation of Peace ("Jerusalem"), and thinking of themselves that immediately the Queen of the God is destined to appear.
12 He said therefore, "A man, a certain one well-born, he has led across into a far off land to take hold to himself a queen and to turn back.

1 mina = 100 drachma

13 And he who summoned ten slaves of himself gave to themselves ten minas and said toward themselves, invest yourself within whom I am coming.
14 And the Citizens of himself were hating himself, and they sent away an ambassadorship behind himself, those who are saying, We do not want this one to reign over ourselves.

Investing in Her

15 And he became within the Returning of Himself, he who has taken hold of the Queen, and he spoke for the Slaves to be crowed to himself, those ones to whom he had given the Silver, so that he might know who gained by investing in what.
16 And the First One became beside, he who is saying, "Master, the Mina of yourself has gained ten minas."

ἴσθι - be!

17 And he said to himself, "Right, good slave! Because within a smallest thing you have become trustworthy, be him who is holding an authority on the top of ten cities!
18 And the Second One came, he who is saying, "The Mina of yourself, Master, she has made five minas."

γίνου - Become!

19 And he said also to this one, "Also yourself become on top of five cities!"
20 And the Other One came, he who is saying, "Master behold! the Mina of yourself who I was holding, she who is being laid up in store within a headcloth!
21 For I was fearing yourself because you are a harsh strict man; you are lifting up what you did not set down and you are reaping what you did not sow.
22 He is saying to himself, "From out of the Mouth of yourself, I will separate yourself, pain-ridden slave! You saw that I, myself am a strict man, he who is raising up that which I have not set down, and he who is reaping that which I did not sow!
23 And on account of what did you not give the Silver of myself upon a table? Even myself, he who has come jointly with interest might have accomplished self!
24 And to the ones who have stood by said, "Lift up away from himself the Mina, and give the Ten Minas to him who is holding!
25 And they said to himself, "Master, he is holding ten minas."
