Luke 16
1 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.
ελεγεν δε και προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου ανθρωποσ τισ ην πλουσιοσ οσ ειχεν οικονομον και ουτοσ διεβληθη αυτω ωσ διασκορπιζων τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
2 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.'
και φωνησασ αυτον ειπεν αυτω τι τουτο ακουω περι σου αποδοσ τον λογον τησ οικονομιασ σου ου γαρ δυνηση ετι οικονομειν
3 "The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
ειπεν δε εν εαυτω ο οικονομοσ τι ποιησω οτι ο κυριοσ μου αφαιρειται την οικονομιαν απ εμου σκαπτειν ουκ ισχυω επαιτειν αισχυνομαι
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
εγνων τι ποιησω ινα οταν μετασταθω τησ οικονομιασ δεξωνται με εισ τουσ οικουσ αυτων
5 Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα εκαστον των χρεωφειλετων του κυριου εαυτου ελεγεν τω πρωτω ποσον οφειλεισ τω κυριω μου
6 He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
ο δε ειπεν εκατον βατουσ ελαιου και ειπεν αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και καθισασ ταχεωσ γραψον πεντηκοντα
7 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.'
επειτα ετερω ειπεν συ δε ποσον οφειλεισ ο δε ειπεν εκατον κορουσ σιτου και λεγει αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και γραψον ογδοηκοντα
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the people of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the people of light. (aiōn g165)
και επηνεσεν ο κυριοσ τον οικονομον τησ αδικιασ οτι φρονιμωσ εποιησεν οτι οι υιοι του αιωνοσ τουτου φρονιμωτεροι υπερ τουσ υιουσ του φωτοσ εισ την γενεαν την εαυτων εισιν (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
καγω υμιν λεγω ποιησατε εαυτοισ φιλουσ εκ του μαμωνα τησ αδικιασ ινα οταν εκλιπητε δεξωνται υμασ εισ τασ αιωνιουσ σκηνασ (aiōnios g166)
10 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.
ο πιστοσ εν ελαχιστω και εν πολλω πιστοσ εστιν και ο εν ελαχιστω αδικοσ και εν πολλω αδικοσ εστιν
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
ει ουν εν τω αδικω μαμωνα πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το αληθινον τισ υμιν πιστευσει
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
και ει εν τω αλλοτριω πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το υμετερον τισ υμιν δωσει
13 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 are not able to serve God and wealth."
ουδεισ οικετησ δυναται δυσιν κυριοισ δουλευειν η γαρ τον ενα μισησει και τον ετερον αγαπησει η ενοσ ανθεξεται και του ετερου καταφρονησει ου δυνασθε θεω δουλευειν και μαμωνα
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
ηκουον δε ταυτα παντα και οι φαρισαιοι φιλαργυροι υπαρχοντεσ και εξεμυκτηριζον αυτον
15 He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among people is an abomination in the sight of God.
και ειπεν αυτοισ υμεισ εστε οι δικαιουντεσ εαυτουσ ενωπιον των ανθρωπων ο δε θεοσ γινωσκει τασ καρδιασ υμων οτι το εν ανθρωποισ υψηλον βδελυγμα ενωπιον του θεου
16 The Law and the Prophets were until Yukhanan. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
ο νομοσ και οι προφηται εωσ ιωαννου απο τοτε η βασιλεια του θεου ευαγγελιζεται και πασ εισ αυτην βιαζεται
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.
ευκοπωτερον δε εστιν τον ουρανον και την γην παρελθειν η του νομου μιαν κεραιαν πεσειν
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
πασ ο απολυων την γυναικα αυτου και γαμων ετεραν μοιχευει και πασ ο απολελυμενην απο ανδροσ γαμων μοιχευει
19 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
ανθρωποσ δε τισ ην πλουσιοσ και ενεδιδυσκετο πορφυραν και βυσσον ευφραινομενοσ καθ ημεραν λαμπρωσ
20 A certain beggar, named Leayzar, was placed at his gate, full of sores,
πτωχοσ δε τισ ην ονοματι λαζαροσ οσ εβεβλητο προσ τον πυλωνα αυτου ηλκωμενοσ
21 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.
και επιθυμων χορτασθηναι απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο τησ τραπεζησ του πλουσιου αλλα και οι κυνεσ ερχομενοι απελειχον τα ελκη αυτου
22 It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Avraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
εγενετο δε αποθανειν τον πτωχον και απενεχθηναι αυτον υπο των αγγελων εισ τον κολπον αβρααμ απεθανεν δε και ο πλουσιοσ και εταφη
23 In Sheyul, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Avraham far off, and Leayzar at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
και εν τω αδη επαρασ τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου υπαρχων εν βασανοισ ορα τον αβρααμ απο μακροθεν και λαζαρον εν τοισ κολποισ αυτου (Hadēs g86)
24 He called out and said, 'Father Avraham, have mercy on me, and send Leayzar, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue. For I am in anguish in this flame.'
και αυτοσ φωνησασ ειπεν πατερ αβρααμ ελεησον με και πεμψον λαζαρον ινα βαψη το ακρον του δακτυλου αυτου υδατοσ και καταψυξη την γλωσσαν μου οτι οδυνωμαι εν τη φλογι ταυτη
25 "But Avraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Leayzar, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
ειπεν δε αβρααμ τεκνον μνησθητι οτι απελαβεσ συ τα αγαθα σου εν τη ζωη σου και λαζαροσ ομοιωσ τα κακα νυν δε ωδε παρακαλειται συ δε οδυνασαι
26 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 none may cross over from there to us.'
και επι πασιν τουτοισ μεταξυ ημων και υμων χασμα μεγα εστηρικται οπωσ οι θελοντεσ διαβηναι ενθεν προσ υμασ μη δυνωνται μηδε οι εκειθεν προσ ημασ διαπερωσιν
27 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
ειπεν δε ερωτω ουν σε πατερ ινα πεμψησ αυτον εισ τον οικον του πατροσ μου
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
εχω γαρ πεντε αδελφουσ οπωσ διαμαρτυρηται αυτοισ ινα μη και αυτοι ελθωσιν εισ τον τοπον τουτον τησ βασανου
29 "But Avraham said to him, 'They have Mushe and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
λεγει αυτω αβρααμ εχουσιν μωσεα και τουσ προφητασ ακουσατωσαν αυτων
30 "He said, 'No, father Avraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
ο δε ειπεν ουχι πατερ αβρααμ αλλ εαν τισ απο νεκρων πορευθη προσ αυτουσ μετανοησουσιν
31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Mushe and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
ειπεν δε αυτω ει μωσεωσ και των προφητων ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε εαν τισ εκ νεκρων αναστη πεισθησονται
