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 unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted 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 unto him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account (logos) of your stewardship; for you may be no longer 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.
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
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 what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, 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?
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owe you unto 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!
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take your bill, 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 said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take your bill, and write fourscore.
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 had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser 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 unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when all of you fail, they may receive you into 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 that which is least is faithful also in much: and 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 all of you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, 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?
And if all of you have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall 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 love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. All of you cannot serve God and mammon.
14 Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided 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 unto them, All of you are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is 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 law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presses into it.
17 Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgaa, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle 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.
Whosoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whosoever marries her that is put away from her husband 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, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which 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 which fell from the rich man's table: moreover 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 beggar died, and was carried by the angels into 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 hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees Abraham far 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 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 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 you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus 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 gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from behind to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
Then he said, I pray 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 brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Men Abraham siger til ham: De have Moses og Profeterne, lad dem høre dem!
Abraham says unto 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.
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will 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.‟
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
