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 sayde also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine riche man, which had a stewarde, and he was accused vnto him, that he wasted his goods.
2 Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te? redde rationem villicationis tuae: iam enim non poteris villicare.
And hee called him, and saide vnto him, Howe is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accounts of thy stewardship: for thou maiest be no longer steward.
3 Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem? fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco.
Then the stewarde saide within himselfe, What shall I doe? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed.
4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
I knowe what I will doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue mee into their houses.
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
Then called he vnto him euery one of his masters detters, and said vnto the first, Howe much owest thou vnto my master?
6 At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
And he said, An hudreth measures of oyle. And he saide to him, Take thy writing, and sitte downe quickely, and write fiftie.
7 Deinde alio dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And hee sayde, An hundreth measures of wheate. Then he saide to him, Take thy writing, and write foure score.
8 Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wisely. Wherefore the children of this worlde are in their generation wiser then the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula. (aiōnios g166)
And I say vnto you, Make you friends with the riches of iniquitie, that when ye shall want, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in maiori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in maiori iniquus est.
He that is faithfull in the least, hee is also faithful in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much.
11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis: quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
If then ye haue not ben faithful in the wicked riches, who wil trust you in the true treasure?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
And if ye haue not bene faithfull in another mans goods, who shall giue you that which is yours?
13 Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhaerebit, et alterum contemnet: non potestis Deo servire, et mammonae.
No seruaunt can serue two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other. Yee can not serue God and riches.
14 Audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
All these thinges heard the Pharises also which were couetous, and they scoffed 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.
Then he sayde vnto them, Yee are they, which iustifie your selues before men: but God knoweth your heartes: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
16 Lex, et prophetae usque ad Ioannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.
17 Facilius est autem caelum, et terram praeterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
Nowe it is more easie that heauen and earth shoulde passe away, then that one title of the Lawe should fall.
18 Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam, et alteram ducit, moechatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, moechatur.
Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, and marieth another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adulterie.
19 Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura, et bysso: et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
There was a certaine riche man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared well and delicately euery day.
20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, vulceribus plenus,
Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores,
21 cupiens saturari de micis, quae cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera eius.
And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores.
22 Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab Angelis in sinum Abrahae. Mortuus est autem et dives,
And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. 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 being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome. (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.
Then he cried, and saide, Father Abraham, haue mercie on mee, and sende Lazarus that hee may dippe the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue: for I am tormented 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 saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus paines: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented.
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.
Besides all this, betweene you and vs there is a great gulfe set, so that they which would goe from hence to you, can not: neither can they come from thence to vs.
27 Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
Then he said, I pray thee therfore, father, that thou wouldest sende him to my fathers house,
28 habeo enim quinque fratres, ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
(For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them.
30 At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, poenitentiam agent.
And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.
31 Ait autem illi: Si Moysen, et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
Then he saide vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead againe.
