< Luke 16 >

1 Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲣ̅ⲣⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲟ ⲉⲩⲛ̅ⲧⲁϥ ⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲇⲉ ⲛ̅ϣⲧⲟⲩⲏⲧʾ ϫⲉ ϥϫⲱⲱⲣⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉϥϩⲩⲡⲁⲣⲭⲟⲛⲧⲁ
2 So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϯⲥⲱⲧⲙ̅ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲧⲃⲏⲧⲕ̅. ⲁⲩⲡⲱⲡ ⲛⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲕⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲅⲁⲣ ϫⲓⲛⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲕⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓ.
3 The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉⲡⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ϩⲙ̅ⲡⲉϥϩⲏⲧ ϫⲉ ⲉⲓ̈ⲛⲁⲣⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲁϫⲟⲉⲓⲥ ⲛⲁϥⲓ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲓⲕⲟⲛⲟⲙⲓⲁ ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲧʾ ⲙ̅ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲓ̈ ⲉϭⲣⲏ ⲁⲩⲱ ϯϣⲓⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲱⲃⲁϩ.
4 Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’

5 So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’

7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to eighty.’

8 The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)

9 I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (aiōnios g166)

10 If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with much.

11 So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

13 No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”

14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.

15 But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by God.

16 What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.

17 However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.

19 Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.

22 Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
