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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 Nu ved jeg, hvad jeg vil gøre, for at de skulle modtage mig i deres Huse, naar jeg bliver sat fra Husholdningen.
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me 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?
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to 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 said, ‘One hundred batos [800 Gal; 3,028 L] of oil.’ ‘Take your note back,’ he told him. ‘Now, quickly! Sit down and write one for fifty [400 Gal; 1,514 L]!’
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 said, ‘One thousand bushels of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your note back and write one for eight hundred.’
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)
“His lord commended the sinful ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· 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 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)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of sinful ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· mammon ·wealth·, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (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 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 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 trecherous mammon ·wealth·, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 Og dersom I ikke have været tro i det, som andre eje, hvem vil da give eder noget selv at eje?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give 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 either he will hate the one, and show agapao ·total devotion love· to the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon ·Wealth·.”
14 Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
The Pharisees [Separated], who were lovers of money, also 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.
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 among men is an abomination 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 Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets were until John [Yah is gracious]. Since then the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
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 tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah ·Teaching· become void.
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.
Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another moicheuo ·commits adultery·. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband moicheuo ·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.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
A certain beggar, named Lazarus [Help of God], 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 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 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.
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham [Father of a multitude]’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)
In Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead·, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham [Father of a multitude] far off, and Lazarus [Help of God] at Abraham's bosom, (the righteous side of Sheol). (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.
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham [Father of a multitude], have mercy on me, and send Lazarus [Help of God], that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish 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 [Father of a multitude] said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus [Help of God], in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
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.
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 Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, Abba father, that you would send him to 'Avi ·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 testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 Men Abraham siger til ham: De have Moses og Profeterne, lad dem høre dem!
“But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to him, ‘They have Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Men han sagde: Nej, Fader Abraham! men dersom nogen fra de døde kommer til dem, ville de omvende sig.
“He said, ‘No, Abba father Abraham [Father of a multitude], but if one goes to them from the dead, they will make teshuvah ·complete repentance·.’
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.‟
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
