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 he was accused to him of wasting 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 unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer 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 in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg.
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 turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
6 At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but fifty.
7 Deinde alio dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
Then he said 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 fourscore.
8 Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. (aiōn g165)
And his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs 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 unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received 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 the lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, 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 false riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will 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 at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
14 Audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided 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 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 continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
17 Facilius est autem caelum, et terram praeterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
Though 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.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever 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.
Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
20 Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, vulceribus plenus,
And there was a poor man named Lazarus,
21 cupiens saturari de micis, quae cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera eius.
who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
22 Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab Angelis in sinum Abrahae. Mortuus est autem et dives,
and was carried by angels to 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 from afar, 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 out and said, Father Abraham, have pity 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.
And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: 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, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
27 Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst 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 my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
Abraham answered 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 replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
