Lucas 16
1 Sinabi rin ni Jesus sa mga alagad, “May isang mayamang lalaki na may tagapamahala, at isinumbong sa kaniya na nilulustay ng tagapamahalang ito ang kaniyang pag-aari.
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 Kaya pinatawag siya ng mayamang lalaki at sinabi sa kaniya, 'Ano itong naririnig ko tungkol sa iyo? Magbigay-ulat ka ng iyong pamamahala, dahil ka na maaaring maging tagapamahala.'
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 Sinabi ng tagapamahala sa kaniyang sarili, 'Anong gagawin ko, dahil aalisin sa akin ng amo ko ang pagiging tagapamahala? Wala akong lakas na magbungkal, at nahihiya akong magpalimos.
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Alam ko na ang aking gagawin, para kapag natanggal ako sa pagiging tagapamahala, malugod akong tatanggapin ng mga tao sa kanilang mga bahay.'
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 At tinawag ng tagapamahala ang mga tao na may utang sa kaniyang amo, at tinanong niya ang una, 'Magkano ang utang mo sa amo ko?'
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 Sinabi niya, 'Isang daang takal na langis ng olibo'. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, 'Kunin mo ang iyong kasulatan, umupo kang madali at isulat mong limampu.'
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 At sinabi ng tagapamahala sa isa pa, 'Magkano ang utang mo?' Sumagot siya, 'Isang daang takal ng trigo.' Sinabi niya sa kaniya, 'Kunin mo ang iyong kasulatan at isulat mong walumpu.'
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8 At pinuri ng amo ang hindi makatarungang tagapamahala dahil kumilos siya nang may katusuhan. Sapagkat ang mga anak ng mundong ito ay mas tuso sa pakikitungo sa kanilang sariling tao kaysa mga anak ng liwanag. (aiōn g165)
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, makipagkaibigan kayo sa pamamagitan ng perang hindi makatarungan, para kapag ito ay naubos na, maaari ka nilang tanggapin sa walang hanggang tirahan. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ang tapat sa kakaunti ay tapat din sa marami, at ang hindi makatarungan sa kakaunti ay hindi rin makatarungan sa marami.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 Kung hindi ka naging tapat sa paggamit ng perang hindi makatarungan, sino ang magtitiwala sa iyo ng tunay na kayamanan?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 At kung hindi ka naging tapat sa paggamit sa pera ng ibang tao, sino ang magbibigay sa iyo ng sarili mong pera?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Walang lingkod ang magkapaglilingkod sa dalawang amo, sapagkat kasusuklaman niya ang isa at mamahalin niya ang isa, o magiging tapat siya sa isa at kamumuhian niya ang isa. Hindi ninyo maaaring paglingkuran ang Diyos at ang kayamanan.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Ngayon ang mga Pariseo, na mangingibig ng pera, ay narinig ang lahat ng mga ito, at siya ay kanilang kinutya.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pinapawalang-sala ninyo ang inyong mga sarili sa paningin ng mga tao, ngunit nalalaman ng Diyos ang inyong mga puso. Ang siya na dinadakila ng mga tao ay kasuklam-suklam sa paningin ng Diyos.
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted amongst men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Ang kautusan at ang mga propeta ang umiiral hanggang sa dumating si Juan. Mula noon, ipinangaral ang ebanghelyo ng kaharian ng Diyos, at ang lahat ay sinusubukang pumasok nang pilit doon.
“The Torah and the Prophets were until Yochanan. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 Ngunit mas madaling maglaho ang langit at lupa kaysa mawalan ng bisa ang isang kudlit ng isang letra ng kautusan.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah to become void.
18 Ang bawat taong hinihiwalayan ang kaniyang asawang babae at mag-asawa ng iba ay gumagawa ng pangangalunya, at ang mag-asawa sa babaing hiwalay sa kaniyang asawa ay magkakasala ng pangangalunya.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 Ngayon, may isang mayamang lalaki na nakadamit ng kulay lila na gawa sa pinong lino, at araw-araw nagsasaya sa kaniyang labis na kayamanan.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 May isang pulubi na nagngangalang Lazarus na pinahiga sa kaniyang tarangkahan na lipos ng sugat,
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 at inaasam-asam niyang kainin ang nahuhulog sa mesa ng mayamang tao—at maliban doon, lumapit ang mga aso at dinilaan ang kaniyang mga sugat.
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 At nangyari na namatay ang pulubi at dinala ng mga anghel sa kinaroroonan ni Abraham. Namatay din ang mayamang tao at inilibing,
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 at doon sa hades, sa kaniyang pagdurusa, tumingala siya at nakita si Abraham sa malayo at si Lazarus na nasa tabi niya. (Hadēs g86)
In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 At sumigaw siya at sinabi, 'Amang Abraham, maawa ka sa akin at papuntahin mo si Lazarus, upang isawsaw niya ang dulo ng kaniyang daliri sa tubig at palamigin ang aking dila, dahil naghihirap ako sa apoy na ito.'
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 Ngunit sinabi ni Abraham, 'Anak, alalahanin mo na sa buong buhay mo, natanggap mo ang mga magagandang bagay, at si Lazaro sa ganoon ding paraan ay masasamang bagay. Ngunit ngayon, siya ay inaaliw dito, at ikaw ay nagdurusa.
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 At maliban sa lahat ng ito, may malaking bangin na nakalagay upang ang mga gustong tumawid mula rito papunta sa iyo ay hindi makakatawid, at wala ring makakatawid mula riyan papunta sa amin.'
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 At sinabi ng mayamang tao, 'Nagmamakaawa ako, Amang Abraham, na papuntahin mo siya sa bahay ng aking ama—
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 sapagkat ako ay may limang kapatid na lalake—upang balaan niya sila, dahil baka pumunta rin sila sa lugar na ito ng pagdurusa.'
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 Ngunit sinabi ni Abraham, 'Nasa kanila si Moises at mga propeta; makinig sila sa kanila.'
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Sumagot ang mayamang tao, 'Hindi, Amang Abraham, ngunit kung may pumunta sa kanila mula sa mga patay, magsisisi sila.'
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 Ngunit sinabi ni Abraham sa kaniya, 'Kung hindi sila makikinig kay Moises at sa mga propeta, hindi rin sila mahihikayat kung may mabuhay mula sa mga patay.”. /.
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
