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 said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had 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 he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest 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 steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
So he called every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
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, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
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 unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than 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 to you, Make to yourselves friends by the riches of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting 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 faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis: quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
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 servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.
14 Audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they mocked 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 to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: 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 law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 Facilius est autem caelum, et terram praeterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam, et alteram ducit, moechatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, moechatur.
Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura, et bysso: et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, vulceribus plenus,
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid 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 desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs 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 came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: 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 hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and 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 cried 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 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 said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime didst receive thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is 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.
And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
27 Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to 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 testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, poenitentiam agent.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Ait autem illi: Si Moysen, et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
