Κατα Λουκαν 16
1 ελεγεν δε και προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου ανθρωποσ τισ ην πλουσιοσ οσ ειχεν οικονομον και ουτοσ διεβληθη αυτω ωσ διασκορπιζων τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
2 και φωνησασ αυτον ειπεν αυτω τι τουτο ακουω περι σου αποδοσ τον λογον τησ οικονομιασ σου ου γαρ δυνηση ετι οικονομειν
And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
3 ειπεν δε εν εαυτω ο οικονομοσ τι ποιησω οτι ο κυριοσ μου αφαιρειται την οικονομιαν απ εμου σκαπτειν ουκ ισχυω επαιτειν αισχυνομαι
And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
4 εγνων τι ποιησω ινα οταν μετασταθω τησ οικονομιασ δεξωνται με εισ τουσ οικουσ αυτων
I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα εκαστον των χρεωφειλετων του κυριου εαυτου ελεγεν τω πρωτω ποσον οφειλεισ τω κυριω μου
Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
6 ο δε ειπεν εκατον βατουσ ελαιου και ειπεν αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και καθισασ ταχεωσ γραψον πεντηκοντα
But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 επειτα ετερω ειπεν συ δε ποσον οφειλεισ ο δε ειπεν εκατον κορουσ σιτου και λεγει αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και γραψον ογδοηκοντα
Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
8 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)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 καγω υμιν λεγω ποιησατε εαυτοισ φιλουσ εκ του μαμωνα τησ αδικιασ ινα οταν εκλιπητε δεξωνται υμασ εισ τασ αιωνιουσ σκηνασ (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
10 ο πιστοσ εν ελαχιστω και εν πολλω πιστοσ εστιν και ο εν ελαχιστω αδικοσ και εν πολλω αδικοσ εστιν
He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
11 ει ουν εν τω αδικω μαμωνα πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το αληθινον τισ υμιν πιστευσει
If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
12 και ει εν τω αλλοτριω πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το υμετερον τισ υμιν δωσει
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
13 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
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
14 ηκουον δε ταυτα παντα και οι φαρισαιοι φιλαργυροι υπαρχοντεσ και εξεμυκτηριζον αυτον
Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 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
And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
16 ο νομοσ και οι προφηται εωσ ιωαννου απο τοτε η βασιλεια του θεου ευαγγελιζεται και πασ εισ αυτην βιαζεται
The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
17 ευκοπωτερον δε εστιν τον ουρανον και την γην παρελθειν η του νομου μιαν κεραιαν πεσειν
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
18 πασ ο απολυων την γυναικα αυτου και γαμων ετεραν μοιχευει και πασ ο απολελυμενην απο ανδροσ γαμων μοιχευει
Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
19 ανθρωποσ δε τισ ην πλουσιοσ και ενεδιδυσκετο πορφυραν και βυσσον ευφραινομενοσ καθ ημεραν λαμπρωσ
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 πτωχοσ δε τισ ην ονοματι λαζαροσ οσ εβεβλητο προσ τον πυλωνα αυτου ηλκωμενοσ
And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
21 και επιθυμων χορτασθηναι απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο τησ τραπεζησ του πλουσιου αλλα και οι κυνεσ ερχομενοι απελειχον τα ελκη αυτου
Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
22 εγενετο δε αποθανειν τον πτωχον και απενεχθηναι αυτον υπο των αγγελων εισ τον κολπον αβρααμ απεθανεν δε και ο πλουσιοσ και εταφη
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried,
23 και εν τω αδη επαρασ τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου υπαρχων εν βασανοισ ορα τον αβρααμ απο μακροθεν και λαζαρον εν τοισ κολποισ αυτου (Hadēs g86)
in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom: (Hadēs g86)
24 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
And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
25 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
And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
26 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
And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
27 ειπεν δε ερωτω ουν σε πατερ ινα πεμψησ αυτον εισ τον οικον του πατροσ μου
And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
28 εχω γαρ πεντε αδελφουσ οπωσ διαμαρτυρηται αυτοισ ινα μη και αυτοι ελθωσιν εισ τον τοπον τουτον τησ βασανου
That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
29 λεγει αυτω αβρααμ εχουσιν μωσεα και τουσ προφητασ ακουσατωσαν αυτων
And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 ο δε ειπεν ουχι πατερ αβρααμ αλλ εαν τισ απο νεκρων πορευθη προσ αυτουσ μετανοησουσιν
But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
31 ειπεν δε αυτω ει μωσεωσ και των προφητων ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε εαν τισ εκ νεκρων αναστη πεισθησονται
And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
