Lucam 16
1 dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
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 et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
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 ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
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 scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
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 at ille dixit centum cados olei dixitque illi accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito scribe quinquaginta
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
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 et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt (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 et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula (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 qui fidelis est in minimo et in maiori fidelis est et qui in modico iniquus est et in maiori iniquus est
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 si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 et si in alieno fideles non fuistis quod vestrum est quis dabit vobis
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 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
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 audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei qui erant avari et deridebant illum
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided 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, 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 lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire quam de lege unum apicem cadere
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
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 factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives
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 et sepultus est in inferno elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius (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 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
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 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, 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 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
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 et ait rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc 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 Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
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 paenitentiam agent
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
