Lukas 16
1 Men han sagde ogsaa til Disciplene: „Der var en rig Mand, som havde en Husholder, og denne blev angiven for ham som en, der ødte hans Ejendom.
And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 Og han lod ham kalde og sagde til ham: Hvad er dette, jeg hører om dig? Aflæg Regnskabet for din Husholdning; thi du kan ikke længer være Husholder.
And he called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer act as steward.
3 Men Husholderen sagde ved sig selv: Hvad skal jeg gøre, efterdi min Herre tager Husholdningen fra mig? Jeg formaar ikke at grave, jeg skammer mig ved at tigge.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes from me the stewardship. I have not strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 Nu ved jeg, hvad jeg vil gøre, for at de skulle modtage mig i deres Huse, naar jeg bliver sat fra Husholdningen.
I am resolved on what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
5 Og han kaldte hver enkelt af sin Herres Skyldnere til sig og sagde til den første: Hvor meget er du min Herre skyldig?
And he called to him every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
6 Men han sagde: Hundrede Fade Olie. Og han sagde til ham: Tag dit Skyldbrev, og sæt dig hurtig ned og skriv halvtredsindstyve!
He replied, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take back your note, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Derefter sagde han til en anden: Men du, hvor meget er du skyldig? Men han sagde: Hundrede Maal Hvede. Han siger til ham: Tag dit Skyldbrev og skriv firsindstyve!
Then he said to another, How much do you owe? He replied, A hundred homers of wheat. And he said to him, Take back your note, and write eighty.
8 Og Herren roste den uretfærdige Husholder, fordi han havde handlet klogelig; thi denne Verdens Børn ere klogere end Lysets Børn imod deres egen Slægt. (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he acted prudently. For the children of this age are more prudent toward their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Og jeg siger eder: Gører eder Venner ved Uretfærdighedens Mammon, for at de, naar det er forbi med den, maa modtage eder i de evige Boliger. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make for yourselves friends with the unrighteous riches, that when you fail, you may be received into the everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Den, som er tro i det mindste, er ogsaa tro i meget, og den, som er uretfærdig i det mindste, er ogsaa uretfærdig i meget.
He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much. He that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 Dersom I da ikke have været tro i den uretfærdige Mammon, hvem vil da betro eder den sande?
If, therefore, you have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 Og dersom I ikke have været tro i det, som andre eje, hvem vil da give eder noget selv at eje?
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give to you that which is your own?
13 Ingen Tjener kan tjene to Herrer; thi han vil enten hade den ene og elske den anden, eller holde sig til den ene og ringeagte den anden; I kunne ikke tjene Gud og Mammon.‟
No servant can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve God and riches.
14 Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
And the Pharisees also, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Og han sagde til dem: „I ere de, som gøre eder selv retfærdige for Menneskene; men Gud kender eders Hjerter; thi det, som er højt iblandt Mennesker, er en Vederstyggelighed for Gud.
And he said to them: You set yourselves forth as righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men, is detestable in the sight of God.
16 Loven og Profeterne vare indtil Johannes; fra den Tid forkyndes Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og enhver trænger derind med Vold.
The law and the prophets were till John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it by force.
17 Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgaa, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one point of the law to fail.
18 Hver, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru og tager en anden til Ægte, bedriver Hor; og hver, som tager til Ægte en Kvinde, der er skilt fra sin Mand, bedriver Hor.
Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
19 Men der var en rig Mand, og han klædte sig i Purpur og kostbart Linned og levede hver Dag i Fryd og Herlighed.
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
And there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores:
21 Og han attraaede at mættes af det, som faldt fra den riges Bord; men ogsaa Hundene kom og slikkede hans Saar.
and he would gladly have been fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Men det skete, at den fattige døde, og at han blev henbaaren af Englene i Abrahams Skød; men den rige døde ogsaa og blev begraven.
And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and was carried by angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried;
23 Og da han slog sine Øjne op i Dødsriget, hvor han var i Pine, ser han Abraham langt borte og Lazarus i hans Skød. (Hadēs g86)
and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Og han raabte og sagde: Fader Abraham! forbarm dig over mig, og send Lazarus, for at han kan dyppe det yderste af sin Finger i Vand og læske min Tunge; thi jeg pines svarlig i denne Lue.
And he called to him 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 tormented in this flame.
25 Men Abraham sagde: Barn! kom i Hu, at du har faaet dit gode i din Livstid, og Lazarus ligesaa det onde; men nu trøstes han her, og du pines.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that, in your lifetime, you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus his evil things. But now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 Og foruden alt dette er der fæstet et stort Svælg imellem os og eder, for at de, som ville fare herfra over til eder, ikke skulle kunne det, og de ikke heller skulle fare derfra over til os.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that they that would pass hence to you, can not; nor can they that would, pass thence to us.
27 Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
Then he said, I beseech you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
28 thi jeg har fem Brødre — for at han kan vidne for dem, for at ikke ogsaa de skulle komme i dette Pinested.
for I have five brothers; that he may earnestly admonish them, lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Men Abraham siger til ham: De have Moses og Profeterne, lad dem høre dem!
Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 Men han sagde: Nej, Fader Abraham! men dersom nogen fra de døde kommer til dem, ville de omvende sig.
But he said, Not so, Father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
31 Men han sagde til ham: Høre de ikke Moses og Profeterne, da lade de sig heller ikke overbevise, om nogen opstaar fra de døde.‟
But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
