1 aparañca yīśuḥ śiṣyebhyonyāmekāṁ kathāṁ kathayāmāsa kasyacid dhanavato manuṣyasya gṛhakāryyādhīśe sampatterapavyaye'pavādite sati
And he spoke a parable to his disciples. There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and accusations were brought to him of him, that he squandered his property.
2 tasya prabhustam āhūya jagāda, tvayi yāmimāṁ kathāṁ śṛṇomi sā kīdṛśī? tvaṁ gṛhakāryyādhīśakarmmaṇo gaṇanāṁ darśaya gṛhakāryyādhīśapade tvaṁ na sthāsyasi|
And his lord called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of thee? Render to me an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be my steward.
3 tadā sa gṛhakāryyādhīśo manasā cintayāmāsa, prabhu ryadi māṁ gṛhakāryyādhīśapadād bhraṁśayati tarhi kiṁ kariṣye'haṁ? mṛdaṁ khanituṁ mama śakti rnāsti bhikṣituñca lajjiṣye'haṁ|
And the steward said with himself: What shall I do, since my lord is about to take from me the stewardship? To dig, I am unable; and to become a beggar, I am ashamed.
4 ataeva mayi gṛhakāryyādhīśapadāt cyute sati yathā lokā mahyam āśrayaṁ dāsyanti tadarthaṁ yatkarmma mayā karaṇīyaṁ tan nirṇīyate|
I know what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 paścāt sa svaprabhorekaikam adhamarṇam āhūya prathamaṁ papraccha, tvatto me prabhuṇā kati prāpyam?
And he called each one of his lord's debtors; and he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 tataḥ sa uvāca, ekaśatāḍhakatailāni; tadā gṛhakāryyādhīśaḥ provāca, tava patramānīya śīghramupaviśya tatra pañcāśataṁ likha|
And he said to him, One hundred measures of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty measures.
7 paścādanyamekaṁ papraccha, tvatto me prabhuṇā kati prāpyam? tataḥ sovādīd ekaśatāḍhakagodhūmāḥ; tadā sa kathayāmāsa, tava patramānīya aśītiṁ likha|
And he said to another: And how much owest thou to my lord? And he said to him, One hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him: Take thy bill, and sit down, and write Eighty cors.
8 tenaiva prabhustamayathārthakṛtam adhīśaṁ tadbuddhinaipuṇyāt praśaśaṁsa; itthaṁ dīptirūpasantānebhya etatsaṁsārasya santānā varttamānakāle'dhikabuddhimanto bhavanti| (aiōn g165)
And our Lord praised the unrighteous steward, for having acted sagaciously: for the children of this world are more sagacious than the children of light, in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 ato vadāmi yūyamapyayathārthena dhanena mitrāṇi labhadhvaṁ tato yuṣmāsu padabhraṣṭeṣvapi tāni cirakālam āśrayaṁ dāsyanti| (aiōnios g166)
And I also say to you: Make to yourselves friends, with this unrighteous mammon; so that when it is finished, they may receive you to their everlasting tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 yaḥ kaścit kṣudre kāryye viśvāsyo bhavati sa mahati kāryyepi viśvāsyo bhavati, kintu yaḥ kaścit kṣudre kāryye'viśvāsyo bhavati sa mahati kāryyepyaviśvāsyo bhavati|
He that is faithful in the little, is also faithful in the much; and he that is unjust in the little, is also unjust in the much.
11 ataeva ayathārthena dhanena yadi yūyamaviśvāsyā jātāstarhi satyaṁ dhanaṁ yuṣmākaṁ kareṣu kaḥ samarpayiṣyati?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the reality?
12 yadi ca paradhanena yūyam aviśvāsyā bhavatha tarhi yuṣmākaṁ svakīyadhanaṁ yuṣmabhyaṁ ko dāsyati?
And if ye have not been found faithful in that which is not yours, who will give to you that which is yours?
13 kopi dāsa ubhau prabhū sevituṁ na śaknoti, yata ekasmin prīyamāṇo'nyasminnaprīyate yadvā ekaṁ janaṁ samādṛtya tadanyaṁ tucchīkaroti tadvad yūyamapi dhaneśvarau sevituṁ na śaknutha|
There is no servant, who can serve two lords. For, either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will honor the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 tadaitāḥ sarvvāḥ kathāḥ śrutvā lobhiphirūśinastamupajahasuḥ|
And the Pharisees, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 tataḥ sa uvāca, yūyaṁ manuṣyāṇāṁ nikaṭe svān nirdoṣān darśayatha kintu yuṣmākam antaḥkaraṇānīśvaro jānāti, yat manuṣyāṇām ati praśaṁsyaṁ tad īśvarasya ghṛṇyaṁ|
And Jesus said to them: Ye are such as justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your heart: for that which is exalted among men, is abominable before God.
16 yohana āgamanaparyyanataṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpe vyavasthābhaviṣyadvādināṁ lekhanāni cāsan tataḥ prabhṛti īśvararājyasya susaṁvādaḥ pracarati, ekaiko lokastanmadhyaṁ yatnena praviśati ca|
The law and the prophets were until John: since then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and every one presseth it to enter in.
17 varaṁ nabhasaḥ pṛthivyāśca lopo bhaviṣyati tathāpi vyavasthāyā ekabindorapi lopo na bhaviṣyati|
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one letter to pass from the law.
18 yaḥ kaścit svīyāṁ bhāryyāṁ vihāya striyamanyāṁ vivahati sa paradārān gacchati, yaśca tā tyaktāṁ nārīṁ vivahati sopi paradārāna gacchati|
Whoever putteth away his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and whoever taketh her that is put away, committeth adultery.
19 eko dhanī manuṣyaḥ śuklāni sūkṣmāṇi vastrāṇi paryyadadhāt pratidinaṁ paritoṣarūpeṇābhuṁktāpivacca|
And there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in fine linen and scarlet, and passed every day in splendid luxury.
20 sarvvāṅge kṣatayukta iliyāsaranāmā kaścid daridrastasya dhanavato bhojanapātrāt patitam ucchiṣṭaṁ bhoktuṁ vāñchan tasya dvāre patitvātiṣṭhat;
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Lazarus; and he was laid at the gate of the rich man, smitten with ulcers.
21 atha śvāna āgatya tasya kṣatānyalihan|
And he desired to fill his belly with the fragments that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs also came and licked his ulcers.
22 kiyatkālātparaṁ sa daridraḥ prāṇān jahau; tataḥ svargīyadūtāstaṁ nītvā ibrāhīmaḥ kroḍa upaveśayāmāsuḥ|
And so it was, that the poor man died; and angels transported him to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 paścāt sa dhanavānapi mamāra, taṁ śmaśāne sthāpayāmāsuśca; kintu paraloke sa vedanākulaḥ san ūrddhvāṁ nirīkṣya bahudūrād ibrāhīmaṁ tatkroḍa iliyāsarañca vilokya ruvannuvāca; (Hadēs g86)
And being tormented in hell, he raised his eyes from afar off, and saw Abraham, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 he pitar ibrāhīm anugṛhya aṅgulyagrabhāgaṁ jale majjayitvā mama jihvāṁ śītalāṁ karttum iliyāsaraṁ preraya, yato vahniśikhātohaṁ vyathitosmi|
And he called with a loud voice, and said: Abraham, my father, have pity on me; and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and moisten my tongue; for, lo, I am tormented in this flame.
25 tadā ibrāhīm babhāṣe, he putra tvaṁ jīvan sampadaṁ prāptavān iliyāsarastu vipadaṁ prāptavān etat smara, kintu samprati tasya sukhaṁ tava ca duḥkhaṁ bhavati|
And Abraham said to him: My son, remember, that thou receivedst thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus his evil things: and now, behold he is here at rest, and thou art tormented.
26 aparamapi yuṣmākam asmākañca sthānayo rmadhye mahadvicchedo'sti tata etatsthānasya lokāstat sthānaṁ yātuṁ yadvā tatsthānasya lokā etat sthānamāyātuṁ na śaknuvanti|
And with all these, there is a great barrier between us and you; so that they who would pass from here to you, cannot; neither can they pass from there to us
27 tadā sa uktavān, he pitastarhi tvāṁ nivedayāmi mama pitu rgehe ye mama pañca bhrātaraḥ santi
He said to him: I pray thee, therefore, my father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house;
28 te yathaitad yātanāsthānaṁ nāyāsyanti tathā mantraṇāṁ dātuṁ teṣāṁ samīpam iliyāsaraṁ preraya|
for I have five brothers; that he may go and protest to them; lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 tata ibrāhīm uvāca, mūsābhaviṣyadvādināñca pustakāni teṣāṁ nikaṭe santi te tadvacanāni manyantāṁ|
Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 tadā sa nivedayāmāsa, he pitar ibrāhīm na tathā, kintu yadi mṛtalokānāṁ kaścit teṣāṁ samīpaṁ yāti tarhi te manāṁsi vyāghoṭayiṣyanti|
But he said to him: No, my father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 tata ibrāhīm jagāda, te yadi mūsābhaviṣyadvādināñca vacanāni na manyante tarhi mṛtalokānāṁ kasmiṁścid utthitepi te tasya mantraṇāṁ na maṁsyante|
Abraham said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not believe, though one should rise from the dead.
