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 tasya prabhustam AhUya jagAda, tvayi yAmimAM kathAM zRNOmi sA kIdRzI? tvaM gRhakAryyAdhIzakarmmaNO gaNanAM darzaya gRhakAryyAdhIzapadE tvaM na sthAsyasi|
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 tadA sa gRhakAryyAdhIzO manasA cintayAmAsa, prabhu ryadi mAM gRhakAryyAdhIzapadAd bhraMzayati tarhi kiM kariSyE'haM? mRdaM khanituM mama zakti rnAsti bhikSitunjca lajjiSyE'haM|
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 ataEva mayi gRhakAryyAdhIzapadAt cyutE sati yathA lOkA mahyam AzrayaM dAsyanti tadarthaM yatkarmma mayA karaNIyaM tan nirNIyatE|
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 pazcAt sa svaprabhOrEkaikam adhamarNam AhUya prathamaM papraccha, tvattO mE prabhuNA kati prApyam?
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 tataH sa uvAca, EkazatAPhakatailAni; tadA gRhakAryyAdhIzaH prOvAca, tava patramAnIya zIghramupavizya tatra panjcAzataM likha|
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 pazcAdanyamEkaM papraccha, tvattO mE prabhuNA kati prApyam? tataH sOvAdId EkazatAPhakagOdhUmAH; tadA sa kathayAmAsa, tava patramAnIya azItiM likha|
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.

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 atO vadAmi yUyamapyayathArthEna dhanEna mitrANi labhadhvaM tatO yuSmAsu padabhraSTESvapi tAni cirakAlam AzrayaM dAsyanti| (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 yaH kazcit kSudrE kAryyE vizvAsyO bhavati sa mahati kAryyEpi vizvAsyO bhavati, kintu yaH kazcit kSudrE kAryyE'vizvAsyO bhavati sa mahati kAryyEpyavizvAsyO bhavati|
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 ataEva ayathArthEna dhanEna yadi yUyamavizvAsyA jAtAstarhi satyaM dhanaM yuSmAkaM karESu kaH samarpayiSyati?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 yadi ca paradhanEna yUyam avizvAsyA bhavatha tarhi yuSmAkaM svakIyadhanaM yuSmabhyaM kO dAsyati?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 kOpi dAsa ubhau prabhU sEvituM na zaknOti, yata Ekasmin prIyamANO'nyasminnaprIyatE yadvA EkaM janaM samAdRtya tadanyaM tucchIkarOti tadvad yUyamapi dhanEzvarau sEvituM na zaknutha|
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 tadaitAH sarvvAH kathAH zrutvA lObhiphirUzinastamupajahasuH|
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 tataH sa uvAca, yUyaM manuSyANAM nikaTE svAn nirdOSAn darzayatha kintu yuSmAkam antaHkaraNAnIzvarO jAnAti, yat manuSyANAm ati prazaMsyaM tad Izvarasya ghRNyaM|
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.

The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 varaM nabhasaH pRthivyAzca lOpO bhaviSyati tathApi vyavasthAyA EkabindOrapi lOpO na bhaviSyati|
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 yaH kazcit svIyAM bhAryyAM vihAya striyamanyAM vivahati sa paradArAn gacchati, yazca tA tyaktAM nArIM vivahati sOpi paradArAna gacchati|
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 sarvvAggE kSatayukta iliyAsaranAmA kazcid daridrastasya dhanavatO bhOjanapAtrAt patitam ucchiSTaM bhOktuM vAnjchan tasya dvArE patitvAtiSThat;
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 atha zvAna Agatya tasya kSatAnyalihan|
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 kiyatkAlAtparaM sa daridraH prANAn jahau; tataH svargIyadUtAstaM nItvA ibrAhImaH krOPa upavEzayAmAsuH|
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 pazcAt sa dhanavAnapi mamAra, taM zmazAnE sthApayAmAsuzca; kintu paralOkE sa vEdanAkulaH san UrddhvAM nirIkSya bahudUrAd ibrAhImaM tatkrOPa iliyAsaranjca vilOkya ruvannuvAca; (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 hE pitar ibrAhIm anugRhya aggulyagrabhAgaM jalE majjayitvA mama jihvAM zItalAM karttum iliyAsaraM prEraya, yatO vahnizikhAtOhaM vyathitOsmi|
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 tadA ibrAhIm babhASE, hE putra tvaM jIvan sampadaM prAptavAn iliyAsarastu vipadaM prAptavAn Etat smara, kintu samprati tasya sukhaM tava ca duHkhaM bhavati|
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.

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 tadA sa uktavAn, hE pitastarhi tvAM nivEdayAmi mama pitu rgEhE yE mama panjca bhrAtaraH santi
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 tE yathaitad yAtanAsthAnaM nAyAsyanti tathA mantraNAM dAtuM tESAM samIpam iliyAsaraM prEraya|
For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 tata ibrAhIm uvAca, mUsAbhaviSyadvAdinAnjca pustakAni tESAM nikaTE santi tE tadvacanAni manyantAM|
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 tadA sa nivEdayAmAsa, hE pitar ibrAhIm na tathA, kintu yadi mRtalOkAnAM kazcit tESAM samIpaM yAti tarhi tE manAMsi vyAghOTayiSyanti|
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 tata ibrAhIm jagAda, tE yadi mUsAbhaviSyadvAdinAnjca vacanAni na manyantE tarhi mRtalOkAnAM kasmiMzcid utthitEpi tE tasya mantraNAM na maMsyantE|
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
