Κατα Λουκαν 16
1 ελεγεν δε και προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου ανθρωποσ τισ ην πλουσιοσ οσ ειχεν οικονομον και ουτοσ διεβληθη αυτω ωσ διασκορπιζων τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
2 και φωνησασ αυτον ειπεν αυτω τι τουτο ακουω περι σου αποδοσ τον λογον τησ οικονομιασ σου ου γαρ δυνηση ετι οικονομειν
And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.
3 ειπεν δε εν εαυτω ο οικονομοσ τι ποιησω οτι ο κυριοσ μου αφαιρειται την οικονομιαν απ εμου σκαπτειν ουκ ισχυω επαιτειν αισχυνομαι
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
4 εγνων τι ποιησω ινα οταν μετασταθω τησ οικονομιασ δεξωνται με εισ τουσ οικουσ αυτων
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα εκαστον των χρεωφειλετων του κυριου εαυτου ελεγεν τω πρωτω ποσον οφειλεισ τω κυριω μου
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?
6 ο δε ειπεν εκατον βατουσ ελαιου και ειπεν αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και καθισασ ταχεωσ γραψον πεντηκοντα
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 επειτα ετερω ειπεν συ δε ποσον οφειλεισ ο δε ειπεν εκατον κορουσ σιτου και λεγει αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και γραψον ογδοηκοντα
Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
8 και επηνεσεν ο κυριοσ τον οικονομον τησ αδικιασ οτι φρονιμωσ εποιησεν οτι οι υιοι του αιωνοσ τουτου φρονιμωτεροι υπερ τουσ υιουσ του φωτοσ εισ την γενεαν την εαυτων εισιν (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 καγω υμιν λεγω ποιησατε εαυτοισ φιλουσ εκ του μαμωνα τησ αδικιασ ινα οταν εκλιπητε δεξωνται υμασ εισ τασ αιωνιουσ σκηνασ (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 ο πιστοσ εν ελαχιστω και εν πολλω πιστοσ εστιν και ο εν ελαχιστω αδικοσ και εν πολλω αδικοσ εστιν
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 ει ουν εν τω αδικω μαμωνα πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το αληθινον τισ υμιν πιστευσει
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 και ει εν τω αλλοτριω πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το υμετερον τισ υμιν δωσει
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 ουδεισ οικετησ δυναται δυσιν κυριοισ δουλευειν η γαρ τον ενα μισησει και τον ετερον αγαπησει η ενοσ ανθεξεται και του ετερου καταφρονησει ου δυνασθε θεω δουλευειν και μαμωνα
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 ηκουον δε ταυτα παντα και οι φαρισαιοι φιλαργυροι υπαρχοντεσ και εξεμυκτηριζον αυτον
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 και ειπεν αυτοισ υμεισ εστε οι δικαιουντεσ εαυτουσ ενωπιον των ανθρωπων ο δε θεοσ γινωσκει τασ καρδιασ υμων οτι το εν ανθρωποισ υψηλον βδελυγμα ενωπιον του θεου
And he said to them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 ο νομοσ και οι προφηται εωσ ιωαννου απο τοτε η βασιλεια του θεου ευαγγελιζεται και πασ εισ αυτην βιαζεται
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 ευκοπωτερον δε εστιν τον ουρανον και την γην παρελθειν η του νομου μιαν κεραιαν πεσειν
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 πασ ο απολυων την γυναικα αυτου και γαμων ετεραν μοιχευει και πασ ο απολελυμενην απο ανδροσ γαμων μοιχευει
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 ανθρωποσ δε τισ ην πλουσιοσ και ενεδιδυσκετο πορφυραν και βυσσον ευφραινομενοσ καθ ημεραν λαμπρωσ
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 πτωχοσ δε τισ ην ονοματι λαζαροσ οσ εβεβλητο προσ τον πυλωνα αυτου ηλκωμενοσ
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 και επιθυμων χορτασθηναι απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο τησ τραπεζησ του πλουσιου αλλα και οι κυνεσ ερχομενοι απελειχον τα ελκη αυτου
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 εγενετο δε αποθανειν τον πτωχον και απενεχθηναι αυτον υπο των αγγελων εισ τον κολπον αβρααμ απεθανεν δε και ο πλουσιοσ και εταφη
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 και εν τω αδη επαρασ τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου υπαρχων εν βασανοισ ορα τον αβρααμ απο μακροθεν και λαζαρον εν τοισ κολποισ αυτου (Hadēs g86)
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 και αυτοσ φωνησασ ειπεν πατερ αβρααμ ελεησον με και πεμψον λαζαρον ινα βαψη το ακρον του δακτυλου αυτου υδατοσ και καταψυξη την γλωσσαν μου οτι οδυνωμαι εν τη φλογι ταυτη
And 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 tormented in this flame.
25 ειπεν δε αβρααμ τεκνον μνησθητι οτι απελαβεσ συ τα αγαθα σου εν τη ζωη σου και λαζαροσ ομοιωσ τα κακα νυν δε ωδε παρακαλειται συ δε οδυνασαι
But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 και επι πασιν τουτοισ μεταξυ ημων και υμων χασμα μεγα εστηρικται οπωσ οι θελοντεσ διαβηναι ενθεν προσ υμασ μη δυνωνται μηδε οι εκειθεν προσ ημασ διαπερωσιν
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
27 ειπεν δε ερωτω ουν σε πατερ ινα πεμψησ αυτον εισ τον οικον του πατροσ μου
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 εχω γαρ πεντε αδελφουσ οπωσ διαμαρτυρηται αυτοισ ινα μη και αυτοι ελθωσιν εισ τον τοπον τουτον τησ βασανου
For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 λεγει αυτω αβρααμ εχουσιν μωσεα και τουσ προφητασ ακουσατωσαν αυτων
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 ο δε ειπεν ουχι πατερ αβρααμ αλλ εαν τισ απο νεκρων πορευθη προσ αυτουσ μετανοησουσιν
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 ειπεν δε αυτω ει μωσεωσ και των προφητων ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε εαν τισ εκ νεκρων αναστη πεισθησονται
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
