路加福音 16
1 耶稣向门徒讲了一个故事：“从前有个财主，有人指控他的管家浪费主人的财物。
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 主人把管家叫来，对他说：‘我听说了关于你的事情，怎么会这样？把你管的账目拿来，你不能再做管家了。’
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 管家心想：‘主人不让我继续做管家，我又该做什么呢？去锄地没有力气！去讨饭又太羞耻了！
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 对了，我知道该做什么了。这样做，如果我不再当管家，就会有人让我去他们家做工。’
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 于是他找来欠他主人债的人。他问第一个人：‘你欠我主人多少？’
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 那人说：‘一百桶油。’管家说：‘那快坐下来，拿着你的欠条，把它改成五十桶。’
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 他又问另外一人：‘你欠多少？’那人说：‘一百包麦子。’管家说：‘给你欠条，改成八十包。’
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 如果你在极小的事情上可以获得信任，大事也是如此。如果你在极小的事情上不诚实，大事也会不诚实。
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 如果你在现世财富方面不值得信任，谁还会把真实的财富托付给你们？
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 如果你们对别人的东西不忠心，谁还把自己的东西交给你们呢？
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 一个仆人不能服侍两个主人，他必会喜欢一人，讨厌另一人，或忠于一人而背离另一人。你们不能同时服侍上帝和金钱。”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 视财如命的法利赛人听见这些话，便开始嘲笑耶稣。
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 但耶稣对他们说：“你们在人前自称善人，上帝却知道你们在想什么。因为人所看中的，正是上帝所憎恶的。
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted amongst men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 律法和先知所写的，持续到约翰为止。此后所传递的就是上帝之国的福音，人人都努力想要挤进上帝之国。
“The Torah and the Prophets were until Yochanan. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 但相比天地终会消散，律法文字中哪怕是最小的一个点，也更不容易消失。
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to become void.
18 如果你休妻另娶，就犯了奸淫之罪。如果你娶了被休之妻，同样也是犯了奸淫之罪。
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 从前有一个财主很富有，总是身穿紫袍和精致的麻衣，过着奢华无度的日子。
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 有个满身长疮的乞丐名叫拉撒路，他经常坐在财主门口，
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 希望用财主饭桌上掉下的残渣充饥，甚至还有狗跑来舔他的疮。
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 后来乞丐死了，天使们将他送到亚伯拉罕那里。财主也死了，被埋在土里。
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 于是财主喊着说：‘我父亚伯拉罕啊，可怜可怜我吧！派拉撒路来用手指蘸点水，冰冰我的舌头！我在这火焰炙烤的太难熬了。’
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 in anguish in this flame.’
25 但亚伯拉罕回复道：‘我的孩子，想想你生前享过的福，那时拉撒路过着穷苦的生活。现在他在这里过得很舒适，你就要受苦。
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 不仅如此，我们和你们之间还隔着一道深渊，从我这边根本无法去你那边，你们那边也无法到我们这边。’
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 财主说：‘我父啊，那么求你派拉撒路到我父亲的家里去，
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 因为我有五个兄弟，他可以警告他们，免得他们最终也到这痛苦之地。’
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 亚伯拉罕说：‘摩西和先知都在他们那边，你的兄弟应该听他们的。’
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 财主说：‘不行啊，我父亚伯拉罕。如果出现在他们面前的人是死而复生，他们必定会悔改！’
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 亚伯拉罕对他说：‘如果他们不听从摩西和先知的话，就算有人死而复生，他们也不会信服。’”
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
