Lucam 16
1 dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures.
2 et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office.
3 ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed.
4 scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses.
5 convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
So calling upon every one of his master’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master?
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, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty.
7 deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore.
8 et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt (aiōn g165)
And the master praised the unjust steward, because he had acted providently: for the children of this world are more provident among their own generation of men, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon that when ye fail, they may receive you into the eternal mansions. (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 least thing, is faithful also in much: and he who is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust 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 belongs to another, who will give up to you that which is your own?
13 nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire aut enim unum odiet et alterum diliget aut uni adherebit et alterum contemnet non potestis Deo servire et mamonae
No domestic can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave 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
Then the Pharisees also, who were dear lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered 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 affect to be righteous persons before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
The law and the prophets were until John: since that 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
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail.
18 omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
Every one who putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and every one who marrieth a woman divorced from her husband, committeth adultery.
19 homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making splendid entertainments every day:
20 et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
and there was a certain pauper, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate covered with ulcers,
21 cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
and importunately desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: yea even the dogs came and licked his ulcers.
22 factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives
Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried:
23 et sepultus est in inferno elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius (Hadēs g86)
and in hell, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham at a vast distance, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 et ipse clamans dixit pater Abraham miserere mei et mitte Lazarum ut intinguat extremum digiti sui in aqua ut refrigeret linguam meam quia crucior in hac flamma
And crying out, he said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented with 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 hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chasma magnum firmatum est ut hii qui volunt hinc transire ad vos non possint neque inde huc transmeare
And besides all these considerations, between us and you there is a vast chasm fixed: so that they who might be willing to pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass through to us, from thence.
27 et ait rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei
And he said, I entreat thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to my paternal mansion:
28 habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum
for I have five brothers: that he may testify to them, that they also come not into this place of torment.
29 et ait illi Abraham habent Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hearken to them.
30 at ille dixit non pater Abraham sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos paenitentiam agent
But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
Then he said to him, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.
