< Luke 16 >

1 And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
2 and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any longer.
et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
3 And the steward said in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, I am ashamed to beg—
ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
5 And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord?
convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
6 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty.
at ille dixit centum cados olei dixitque illi accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito scribe quinquaginta
7 Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred cors of wheat; and he says to him, Take your bill, and write eighty.
deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
8 And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (aiōn g165)
et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make to yourselves friends out of the wealth of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you into the continuous dwelling places. (aiōnios g166)
et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
qui fidelis est in minimo et in maiori fidelis est et qui in modico iniquus est et in maiori iniquus est
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you your own?
et si in alieno fideles non fuistis quod vestrum est quis dabit vobis
13 No servant is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”
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
14 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei qui erant avari et deridebant illum
15 and He said to them, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] abomination before God;
et ait illis vos estis qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus Deus autem novit corda vestra quia quod hominibus altum est abominatio est ante Deum
16 the Law and the Prophets [are] until John; since then the good news of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone presses into it;
lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
17 and it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire quam de lege unum apicem cadere
18 Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent away from a husband commits adultery.
omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
19 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried;
factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
et sepultus est in inferno elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius (Hadēs g86)
24 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
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
25 And Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;
et dixit illi Abraham fili recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua et Lazarus similiter mala nunc autem hic consolatur tu vero cruciaris
26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there to us.
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
27 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
et ait rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum
29 Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
et ait illi Abraham habent Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
at ille dixit non pater Abraham sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos paenitentiam agent
31 And he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one may rise out of the dead.”
ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
