Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
at ille dixit centum cados olei dixitque illi accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito scribe quinquaginta
7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this age (aiōn g165) are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into consummate (aiōnios g166) tents.
et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
qui fidelis est in minimo et in maiori fidelis est et qui in modico iniquus est et in maiori iniquus est
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
et si in alieno fideles non fuistis quod vestrum est quis dabit vobis
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon.”
nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire aut enim unum odiet et alterum diliget aut uni adherebit et alterum contemnet non potestis Deo servire et mamonae
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei qui erant avari et deridebant illum
15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
et ait illis vos estis qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus Deus autem novit corda vestra quia quod hominibus altum est abominatio est ante Deum
16 “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire quam de lege unum apicem cadere
18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives
23 In Hades (Hadēs g86), he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
et sepultus est in inferno elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius (Hadēs g86)
24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
et ipse clamans dixit pater Abraham miserere mei et mitte Lazarum ut intinguat extremum digiti sui in aqua ut refrigeret linguam meam quia crucior in hac flamma
25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
et dixit illi Abraham fili recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua et Lazarus similiter mala nunc autem hic consolatur tu vero cruciaris
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chasma magnum firmatum est ut hii qui volunt hinc transire ad vos non possint neque inde huc transmeare
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
et ait rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei
28 for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they will not also come into this place of torment.’
habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum
29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
et ait illi Abraham habent Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
at ille dixit non pater Abraham sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos paenitentiam agent
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
