Luke 16
1 He was saying now also to the disciples (of him: *k) A man certain there was rich who had a manager, and he was accused unto him as wasting the possessions of him.
Jesus also said to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and it was reported to him that this manager was wasting his possessions.
2 And having called him he said to him; What [is] this I hear concerning you? do give the account of the stewardship of you; not for (you are able *N+kO) any longer to manage.
So the rich man called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
3 Said then within himself the manager; What shall I do, for the master of me is taking away the management from me? To dig not I am able, to beg I am ashamed.
The manager said to himself, 'What should I do, since my master is taking away my management job? I do not have strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 I know what I may do so that when I may have been removed (from *no) the management they may receive me into the homes (of them. *NK+o)
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my management job, people will welcome me into their houses.'
5 And having called to [him] one each of the debtors of the master his own he was saying to the first; How much owe you to the master of me?
Then the manager called for each one of his master's debtors, and he asked the first one, 'How much do you owe to my master?'
6 (then *NK+o) he said; A hundred baths of oil. (then *N+kO) he said to him; do take your (the bills *N+kO) and having sat down soon do write fifty.
He said, 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.'
7 Then to another he said; You yourself now how much owe? And he said; A hundred cors of wheat. (and *k) He says to him; do take your (bills *N+kO) and do write eighty.
Then the manager 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.'
8 And praised the master the manager unrighteous because shrewdly he had acted, For the sons of the age this more shrewd than the sons of the light in the generation their own are. (aiōn g165)
The master then commended the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own people than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 and I myself to you say; for yourselves do make friends by the wealth of unrighteousness, that when (it may fail *N+KO) they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 The [one] faithful with very little also with much faithful is, and the [one] with very little unrighteous also with much unrighteous is.
He who is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and he who is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
11 If therefore in the unrighteous wealth faithful not you have been, the true [riches] who to you will entrust?
If you have not been faithful in using unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true wealth?
12 And if in that which [is] of another faithful not you have been, that which ([is] yours *NK+O) who to you will give
If you have not been faithful in using other people's property, who will give you money of your own?
13 No servant is able to two masters to serve; either for the one he will hate and the other he will love, or to one he will be devoted and the other he will despise. Not you are able God to serve and money.
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
14 Were listening to now these things all (and *k) the Pharisees lovers of money being and they were ridiculing Him.
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him.
15 And He said to them; You yourselves are those justifying themselves before men, but God knows the hearts of you for that which among men [is] exalted an abomination before God (is. *k)
He said to them, “You justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is detestable in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets [were] (until *N+kO) John; from that time the kingdom of God is evangelised [about], and everyone into it forces his way.
The law and the prophets were in effect until John came. From that time on, the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone tries to force their way into it.
17 Easier for however it is the heaven and the earth to pass away than of the law one stroke of a pen to fail.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one stroke of a letter of the law to become invalid.
18 Everyone who is putting away the wife of him and marrying another commits adultery, And (everyone *k) who separated her from a husband marrying commits adultery.
Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 A man now certain there was rich and he was clothed in purple and fine linen making good cheer every day in splendor.
Now there was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and was enjoying every day his great wealth.
20 A poor man now certain (was *k) named Lazarus (who *k) had been laid at the gate of him full of sores
A certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,
21 and desiring to be fed from (crumbs *KO) that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs coming were licking the sores of him.
and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 It came to pass that then to die the poor man and to be carried away he by the angels into the bosom of Abraham; Died then also the rich man and was buried.
It came about that the beggar died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,
23 And in Hades having lifted up the eyes of him, being in torment he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus in the bosom of him. (Hadēs g86)
and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he himself having cried out said; Father Abraham, do have mercy on me and do send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of the finger of him in water and may cool the tongue of mine, for I am suffering in flame this.
So he cried out 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 Said then Abraham; Child, do remember that you did fully receive (you yourself *k) the [things] good of you in the lifetime of you, and Lazarus likewise the [things] harmful. Now however (here *N+kO) he is comforted, you yourself now are suffering.
But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.
26 And (besides *N+kO) all these things between us and you a chasm great has been fixed so that those desiring to pass (from here *N+kO) to you not may be able nor (those *k) from there to us they shall pass.
Besides all this, a great chasm has been put in place, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot, and no one can cross over from there to us.'
27 He said then; I implore you then father, that you may send him to the house of the father of mine —
The rich man said, 'I beg you, Father Abraham, that you would send him to my father's house—
28 I have for five brothers — so that he may warn to them that not also they themselves may come to place this of torment.
for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that it may not be that they come into this place of torment.'
29 Says (however *no) (to him *ko) Abraham; They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.
But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.'
30 And he said; No, father Abraham, but if one from [the] dead shall go to them, they will repent.
The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham, but if someone would go to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 He said however to him; If to Moses and the prophets not they listen, (not even *N+kO) if one out from [the] dead shall rise will they be persuaded.
But Abraham said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'”
