Lucam 16
1 Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.
And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
2 Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te? Redde rationem villicationis tuæ: iam enim non poteris villicare.
And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
3 Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem, fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco?
And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
6 At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
7 Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
8 Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii huius sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. (aiōn g165)
And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in maiori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in maiori iniquus est.
The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis: quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
13 Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet: non potestis Deo servire, et mammonæ.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Audiebant autem omnia hæc Pharisæi, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
15 Et ait illis: Vos estis, qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.
And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Lex, et prophetæ usque ad Ioannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
17 Facilius est autem cælum, et terram præterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
18 Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam, et alteram ducit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura, et bysso: et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, ulceribus plenus,
But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
21 cupiens saturari de micis, quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera eius.
and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
22 Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab Angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives,
And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23 et sepultus est in inferno. Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu eius: (Hadēs g86)
And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 et ipse clamans dixit: Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
25 Et dixit illi Abraham: Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala: nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris.
But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
26 Et in his omnibus inter nos, et vos chaos magnum firmatum est: ut hi, qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
27 Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
28 Habeo enim quinque fratres, ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
30 At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.
And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
31 Ait autem illi: Si Moysen, et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
