Lucam 16
1 Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.
And he went on to say, unto his disciples also, —There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.
2 Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te? Redde rationem villicationis tuæ: iam enim non poteris villicare.
And, accosting him, he said unto him—What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.
3 Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem, fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco?
And the steward said within himself—What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed.
4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first, —How much owest thou my lord?
6 At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
And, he, said—A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write—Fifty!
7 Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
After that, unto another, he said—And how much owest, thou? And, he, said—A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and write—Eighty!
8 Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii huius sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. (aiōn g165)
And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: —Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. (aiōn g165)
9 Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula. (aiōnios g166)
And, I, unto you, say—For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age-abiding tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in maiori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in maiori iniquus est.
The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis: quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
13 Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet: non potestis Deo servire, et mammonæ.
No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches.
14 Audiebant autem omnia hæc Pharisæi, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
15 Et ait illis: Vos estis, qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.
And he said unto them—Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before God.
16 Lex, et prophetæ usque ad Ioannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
The law and the prophets, were until John, —from that time, the good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.
17 Facilius est autem cælum, et terram præterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
18 Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam, et alteram ducit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.
Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
19 Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura, et bysso: et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, ulceribus plenus,
And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
21 cupiens saturari de micis, quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera eius.
and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.
22 Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab Angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives,
And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.
23 et sepultus est in inferno. Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu eius: (Hadēs g86)
And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 et ipse clamans dixit: Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
And, he, calling out, said—Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, —because I am in anguish in this flame.
25 Et dixit illi Abraham: Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala: nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris.
But Abraham said—Child! remember—That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the evil things; but, now, here, he is comforted, and, thou, art in anguish.
26 Et in his omnibus inter nos, et vos chaos magnum firmatum est: ut hi, qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
And, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, —so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.
27 Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto my father’s house, —
28 Habeo enim quinque fratres, ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
for I have five brethren; —that he may solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
29 Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
30 At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.
But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
31 Ait autem illi: Si Moysen, et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
But he said unto him—If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.
