От Луки святое благовествование 16
1 Глаголаше же ко учеником Своим: человек некий бе богат, иже имяше приставника: и той оклеветан бысть к нему, яко расточает имения его:
Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
2 и пригласив его рече ему: что се слышу о тебе? Воздаждь ответ о приставлении домовнем: не возможеши бо ктому дому строити.
So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
3 Рече же в себе приставник дому: что сотворю, яко господь мой отемлет строение дому от мене? Копати не могу, просити стыжуся:
The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
4 разумех, что сотворю, да егда отставлен буду от строения дому, приимут мя в домы своя.
Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’
5 И призвав единаго когождо от должник господина своего, глаголаше первому: колицем должен еси господину моему?
So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 Он же рече: сто мер масла. И рече ему: приими писание твое, и сед скоро напиши пятьдесят.
The man replied, ‘A hundred units of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Sit down quickly. Take your bill, and change it to fifty.’
7 Потом же рече другому: ты же колицем должен еси? Он же рече: сто мер пшеницы. И глагола ему: приими писание твое, и напиши осмьдесят.
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to eighty.’
8 И похвали господь дому строителя неправеднаго, яко мудре сотвори: яко сынове века сего мудрейши паче сынов света в роде своем суть. (aiōn g165)
The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 И Аз вам глаголю: сотворите себе други от мамоны неправды, да, егда оскудеете, приимут вы в вечныя кровы. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (aiōnios g166)
10 Верный в мале, и во мнозе верен есть: и неправедный в мале, и во мнозе неправеден есть.
If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with much.
11 Аще убо в неправеднем имении верни не бысте, во истиннем кто вам веру имет?
So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
12 И аще в чужем верни не бысте, ваше кто вам даст?
And if you can't be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will trust you with what is yours?
13 Ни кий же раб может двема господинома работати: ибо или единаго возненавидит, а другаго возлюбит: или единаго держится, о друзем же нерадети начнет: не можете Богу работати и мамоне.
No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”
14 Слышаху же сия вся и фарисее, сребролюбцы суще, ругахуся Ему.
The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.
15 И рече им: вы есте оправдающе себе пред человеки, Бог же весть сердца ваша: яко, еже есть в человецех высоко, мерзость есть пред Богом.
But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by God.
16 Закон и пророцы до Иоанна: оттоле Царствие Божие благовествуется, и всяк в не нудится.
What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.
17 Удобее же есть небу и земли прейти, неже от закона единей черте погибнути.
However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.
18 Всяк пущаяй жену свою и приводя ину прелюбы деет: и женяйся пущеною от мужа прелюбы творит.
Any man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19 Человек же некий бе богат, и облачашеся в порфиру и виссон, веселяся на вся дни светло.
Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
20 Нищь же бе некто, именем Лазарь, иже лежаше пред враты его гноен
A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
21 и желаше насытитися от крупиц падающих от трапезы богатаго: но и пси приходяще облизаху гной его.
longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Бысть же умрети нищему и несену быти Ангелы на лоно Авраамле: умре же и богатый, и погребоша его:
Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him. (Hadēs g86)
24 и той возглашь рече: отче Аврааме, помилуй мя и посли Лазаря, да омочит конец перста своего в воде и устудит язык мой, яко стражду во пламени сем.
‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’
25 Рече же Авраам: чадо, помяни, яко восприял еси благая твоя в животе твоем, и Лазарь такожде злая: ныне же зде утешается, ты же страждеши:
But Abraham replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.
26 и над всеми сими между нами и вами пропасть велика утвердися, яко да хотящии прейти отсюду к вам не возмогут, ни иже оттуду, к нам преходят.
Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over to us.’
27 Рече же: молю тя убо, отче, да послеши его в дом отца моего:
The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please send him to my father's house.
28 имам бо пять братий: яко да засвидетелствует им, да не и тии приидут на место сие мучения.
For I have five brothers and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’
29 Глагола ему Авраам: имут Моисеа и пророки: да послушают их.
But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’
30 Он же рече: ни, отче Аврааме: но аще кто от мертвых идет к ним, покаются.
‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’
31 Рече же ему: аще Моисеа и пророков не послушают, и аще кто от мертвых воскреснет, не имут веры.
Abraham said to him, ‘If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone returns from the dead.’”
