1 aparañca yīśuḥ śiṣyebhyonyāmekāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa kasyacid dhanavato manuṣyasya gṛhakāryyādhīśe sampatterapavyaye'pavādite sati
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 āhūya jagāda, tvayi yāmimāṁ kathāṁ śṛṇomi sā kīdṛśī? tvaṁ gṛhakāryyādhīśakarmmaṇo gaṇanāṁ darśaya gṛhakāryyādhīśapade tvaṁ na sthāsyasi|
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 tadā sa gṛhakāryyādhīśo manasā cintayāmāsa, prabhu ryadi māṁ gṛhakāryyādhīśapadād bhraṁśayati tarhi kiṁ kariṣye'haṁ? mṛdaṁ khanituṁ mama śakti rnāsti bhikṣituñca lajjiṣye'haṁ|
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 gṛhakāryyādhīśapadāt cyute sati yathā lokā mahyam āśrayaṁ dāsyanti tadarthaṁ yatkarmma mayā karaṇīyaṁ tan nirṇīyate|
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 paścāt sa svaprabhorekaikam adhamarṇam āhūya prathamaṁ papraccha, tvatto me prabhuṇā kati prāpyam?
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 tataḥ sa uvāca, ekaśatāḍhakatailāni; tadā gṛhakāryyādhīśaḥ provāca, tava patramānīya śīghramupaviśya tatra pañcāśataṁ 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 paścādanyamekaṁ papraccha, tvatto me prabhuṇā kati prāpyam? tataḥ sovādīd ekaśatāḍhakagodhūmāḥ; tadā sa kathayāmāsa, tava patramānīya aśītiṁ 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.
8 tenaiva prabhustamayathārthakṛtam adhīśaṁ tadbuddhinaipuṇyāt praśaśaṁsa; itthaṁ dīptirūpasantānebhya etatsaṁsārasya santānā varttamānakāle'dhikabuddhimanto bhavanti| (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 ato vadāmi yūyamapyayathārthena dhanena mitrāṇi labhadhvaṁ tato yuṣmāsu padabhraṣṭeṣvapi tāni cirakālam āśrayaṁ dāsyanti| (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 yaḥ kaścit kṣudre kāryye viśvāsyo bhavati sa mahati kāryyepi viśvāsyo bhavati, kintu yaḥ kaścit kṣudre kāryye'viśvāsyo bhavati sa mahati kāryyepyaviśvāsyo 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 ayathārthena dhanena yadi yūyamaviśvāsyā jātāstarhi satyaṁ dhanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kareṣu kaḥ samarpayiṣyati?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 yadi ca paradhanena yūyam aviśvāsyā bhavatha tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svakīyadhanaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ ko dāsyati?
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 dāsa ubhau prabhū sevituṁ na śaknoti, yata ekasmin prīyamāṇo'nyasminnaprīyate yadvā ekaṁ janaṁ samādṛtya tadanyaṁ tucchīkaroti tadvad yūyamapi dhaneśvarau sevituṁ na śaknutha|
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 tadaitāḥ sarvvāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā lobhiphirūśinastamupajahasuḥ|
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 tataḥ sa uvāca, yūyaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ nikaṭe svān nirdoṣān darśayatha kintu yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇānīśvaro jānāti, yat manuṣyāṇām ati praśaṁsyaṁ tad īśvarasya ghṛṇyaṁ|
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 yohana āgamanaparyyanataṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpe vyavasthābhaviṣyadvādināṁ lekhanāni cāsan tataḥ prabhṛti īśvararājyasya susaṁvādaḥ pracarati, ekaiko lokastanmadhyaṁ yatnena praviśati ca|
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 varaṁ nabhasaḥ pṛthivyāśca lopo bhaviṣyati tathāpi vyavasthāyā ekabindorapi lopo na bhaviṣyati|
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.
18 yaḥ kaścit svīyāṁ bhāryyāṁ vihāya striyamanyāṁ vivahati sa paradārān gacchati, yaśca tā tyaktāṁ nārīṁ vivahati sopi paradārāna gacchati|
Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits adultery.
19 eko dhanī manuṣyaḥ śuklāni sūkṣmāṇi vastrāṇi paryyadadhāt pratidinaṁ paritoṣarūpeṇābhuṁktāpivacca|
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 sarvvāṅge kṣatayukta iliyāsaranāmā kaścid daridrastasya dhanavato bhojanapātrāt patitam ucchiṣṭaṁ bhoktuṁ vāñchan tasya dvāre patitvātiṣṭhat;
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 atha śvāna āgatya tasya kṣatānyalihan|
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 kiyatkālātparaṁ sa daridraḥ prāṇān jahau; tataḥ svargīyadūtāstaṁ nītvā ibrāhīmaḥ kroḍa upaveśayāmāsuḥ|
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 paścāt sa dhanavānapi mamāra, taṁ śmaśāne sthāpayāmāsuśca; kintu paraloke sa vedanākulaḥ san ūrddhvāṁ nirīkṣya bahudūrād ibrāhīmaṁ tatkroḍa iliyāsarañca vilokya ruvannuvāca; (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 ibrāhīm anugṛhya aṅgulyagrabhāgaṁ jale majjayitvā mama jihvāṁ śītalāṁ karttum iliyāsaraṁ preraya, yato vahniśikhātohaṁ 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 tadā ibrāhīm babhāṣe, he putra tvaṁ jīvan sampadaṁ prāptavān iliyāsarastu vipadaṁ prāptavān etat smara, kintu samprati tasya sukhaṁ tava ca duḥkhaṁ 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.
26 aparamapi yuṣmākam asmākañca sthānayo rmadhye mahadvicchedo'sti tata etatsthānasya lokāstat sthānaṁ yātuṁ yadvā tatsthānasya lokā etat sthānamāyātuṁ na śaknuvanti|
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 tadā sa uktavān, he pitastarhi tvāṁ nivedayāmi mama pitu rgehe ye mama pañca bhrātaraḥ santi
Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house:
28 te yathaitad yātanāsthānaṁ nāyāsyanti tathā mantraṇāṁ dātuṁ teṣāṁ samīpam iliyāsaraṁ preraya|
For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 tata ibrāhīm uvāca, mūsābhaviṣyadvādināñca pustakāni teṣāṁ nikaṭe santi te tadvacanāni manyantāṁ|
Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 tadā sa nivedayāmāsa, he pitar ibrāhīm na tathā, kintu yadi mṛtalokānāṁ kaścit teṣāṁ samīpaṁ yāti tarhi te manāṁsi vyāghoṭayiṣyanti|
And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 tata ibrāhīm jagāda, te yadi mūsābhaviṣyadvādināñca vacanāni na manyante tarhi mṛtalokānāṁ kasmiṁścid utthitepi te tasya mantraṇāṁ na maṁsyante|
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
