Luka 16
1 Svojim učencem pa je prav tako rekel: »Bil je nek bogataš, ki je imel oskrbnika in ta isti mu je bil zatožen, da je zapravljal njegove dobrine.
Jesus said to his disciples: “There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate.
2 In poklical ga je ter mu rekel: ›Kako to, da to slišim o tebi? Daj mi obračun svojega oskrbništva, kajti ne boš več mogel biti oskrbnik.‹
So the master called him and said ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.’
3 Potem je oskrbnik sam pri sebi rekel: ›Kaj naj storim? Kajti moj gospodar od mene jemlje oskrbništvo; kopáti ne morem, prositi me je sram.
‘What am I to do,’ the steward asked himself, ‘now that my master is taking the steward’s place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Odločil sem se kaj storiti, da me bodo lahko sprejeli v svoje hiše, ko bom odstavljen od oskrbništva.‹
I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.’
5 Tako je k sebi poklical vsakega izmed dolžnikov svojega gospodarja in rekel prvemu: ›Koliko dolguješ mojemu gospodarju?‹
One by one he called up his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked of the first.
6 In ta je rekel: ›Sto meric olja.‹ Rekel mu je: ›Vzemi svojo zadolžnico in hitro sedi ter zapiši petdeset.‹
‘Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,’ answered the man. ‘Here is your agreement,’ he said; ‘sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.’
7 Potem je rekel drugemu: ›In koliko dolguješ ti?‹ In ta je rekel: ›Sto meric pšenice.‹ In rekel mu je: ›Vzemi svojo zadolžnico in zapiši osemdeset.‹
And you, the steward said to the next, ‘how much do you owe?’ ‘Seventy quarters of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Here is your agreement,’ the steward said; ‘make it fifty-six.’
8 In gospodar je pohvalil nepravičnega oskrbnika, ker je modro ravnal, kajti otroci tega sveta so v svojem rodu modrejši od otrok svetlobe. (aiōn g165)
His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow-men than those who have the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 In pravim vam: ›Prijatelje si pridobivajte s krivičnim mamonom, da vas, ko padete, lahko sprejmejo v večna prebivališča.‹ (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you ‘Win friends for yourselves with your dishonest money,’ so that, when it comes to an end, there may be a welcome for you into the Eternal Home. (aiōnios g166)
10 Kdor je zvest v tem, kar je najmanjše, je zvest tudi v velikem; kdor pa je nepravičen v najmanjšem, je nepravičen tudi v velikem.
He who is trustworthy in the smallest matter is trustworthy in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in the smallest matter is dishonest in a great one also.
11 Če torej niste bili zvesti s krivičnim mamonom, kdo bo vašemu zaupanju poveril resnična bogastva?
So, if you have proved untrustworthy with the ‘dishonest money,’ who will trust you with the true?
12 In če niste bili zvesti s tem, kar je od drugih ljudi, kdo vam bo dal to, kar je vaše?
And, if you have proved untrustworthy with what does not belong to us, who will give you what is really our own?
13 Noben služabnik ne more služiti dvema gospodarjema, ker ali bo enega sovražil in drugega ljubil, ali pa se bo držal k enemu in preziral drugega. Ne morete služiti Bogu in mamonu.«
No servant can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
14 In tudi farizeji, ki so bili lakomni, so slišali vse te stvari in ga zasmehovali.
All this was said within hearing of the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, and they began to sneer at Jesus.
15 Rekel jim je: »Vi ste tisti, ki sebe opravičujete pred ljudmi, toda Bog pozna vaša srca, kajti to, kar je zelo cenjeno med ljudmi, je v Božjih očeh ogabnost.
“You,” said Jesus, “are the men who justify themselves before the world, but God can read your hearts; and what is highly esteemed among men may be an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Postava in preroki so bili do Janeza. Od tedaj se oznanja Božje kraljestvo in vsak pritiska vanj.
The Law and the Prophets sufficed until the time of John. Since then the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been told, and everybody has been forcing his way into it.
17 Lažje pa je za nebo in zemljo, da preideta, kakor da manjka ena pičica postave.
It would be easier for the heavens and the earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be lost.
18 Kdorkoli odslovi svojo ženo in poroči drugo, zagreši zakonolomstvo, in kdorkoli poroči njo, ki jo je njen soprog odslovil, zagreši zakonolomstvo.
Every one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.
19 Bil je nek bogataš, ki je bil oblečen v škrlat in tanko laneno platno in vsak dan razkošno jedel in pil
There was once a rich man, who dressed in purple robes and fine linen, and feasted every day in great splendour.
20 in bil je nek berač, po imenu Lazar, ki je bil poln vnetij položen pred njegova velika vrata
Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,
21 in želel je biti nahranjen z drobtinami, ki so padale z bogataševe mize; poleg tega so prišli psi in lizali njegova vnetja.
and who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the very dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Pripetilo pa se je, da je berač umrl in angeli so ga odnesli v Abrahamovo naročje, in tudi bogataš je umrl ter bil pokopan
After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 in v peklu je povzdignil svoje oči, medtem ko je bil mučen in daleč stran zagledal Abrahama in Lazarja v njegovem naročju. (Hadēs g86)
In the Place of Death he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
24 In zaklical je ter rekel: ›Oče Abraham, usmili se me in pošlji Lazarja, da bi lahko konico svojega prsta pomočil v vodo in ohladil moj jezik, kajti mučen sem v tem plamenu.‹
So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’
25 Toda Abraham je rekel: ›Sin, spomni se, da si v svojem življenju prejemal svoje dobre stvari in prav tako Lazar zle stvari; toda on je sedaj potolažen, ti pa si mučen.
‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.
26 Poleg vsega tega pa je med nami in teboj velik, nespremenljiv prepad, tako da tisti, ki bi hoteli prečkati od tod k vam, ne morejo niti oni ne morejo prečkati k nam, da bi prišli od tam.‹
And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’
27 Potem je rekel: ›Prosim te torej oče, da ga pošlješ k hiši mojega očeta,
‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house —
28 kajti pet bratov imam, da jim bo lahko pričeval, da ne bi tudi oni prišli v ta kraj mučenja.‹
For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’
29 Abraham mu reče: ›Imajo Mojzesa in preroke, naj njih poslušajo.‹
‘They have the writings of Moses and the Prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’
30 Ta pa je rekel: ›Ne, oče Abraham, toda če gre k njim kdo od mrtvih, se bodo pokesali.‹
‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
31 On pa mu je rekel: ›Če ne poslušajo ne Mojzesa in ne prerokov, ne bodo pregovorjeni, četudi nekdo vstane od mrtvih.‹«
‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,’ answered Abraham, ‘they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.’”
