< Luke 16 >

1 And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him.
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.
2 And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage.
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.
3 And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
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.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.
Nu ved jeg, hvad jeg vil gøre, for at de skulle modtage mig i deres Huse, naar jeg bliver sat fra Husholdningen.
5 And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord?
Og han kaldte hver enkelt af sin Herres Skyldnere til sig og sagde til den første: Hvor meget er du min Herre skyldig?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty.
Men han sagde: Hundrede Fade Olie. Og han sagde til ham: Tag dit Skyldbrev, og sæt dig hurtig ned og skriv halvtredsindstyve!
7 Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty.
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!
8 And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
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)
9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves from the mammon of unrighteousness, so that, when ye cease, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
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)
10 The man faithful in the least is faithful also in much, and the man unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
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.
11 If therefore ye did not become faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you what is true?
Dersom I da ikke have været tro i den uretfærdige Mammon, hvem vil da betro eder den sande?
12 And if ye did not become faithful in the alien, who will give thine to you?
Og dersom I ikke have været tro i det, som andre eje, hvem vil da give eder noget selv at eje?
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
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.‟
14 And the Pharisees, being lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered him.
Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
15 And he said to them, Ye are those who declare yourselves righteous in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. Because what is lofty among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
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.
16 The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed good news, and every man in it is treated aggressively.
Loven og Profeterne vare indtil Johannes; fra den Tid forkyndes Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og enhver trænger derind med Vold.
17 But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgaa, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
18 Every man who divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery, and every man who marries her who has been divorced from a husband commits adultery.
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.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously daily.
Men der var en rig Mand, og han klædte sig i Purpur og kostbart Linned og levede hver Dag i Fryd og Herlighed.
20 But there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who had been placed near his gate, covered with sores,
Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
21 and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. But even the dogs that came licked his sores.
Og han attraaede at mættes af det, som faldt fra den riges Bord; men ogsaa Hundene kom og slikkede hans Saar.
22 And it came to pass for the poor man to die and be carried by the agents to Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died and was buried.
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.
23 And having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus by his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
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)
24 And having cried out, he said, Father Abraham, be merciful to me, and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this flame.
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.
25 But Abraham said, Child, remember that thou in thy lifetime received thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now here he is comforted and thou are in agony.
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.
26 And besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those here who want to cross over to you are not able, nor may those go across from there to us.
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.
27 And he said, I beg thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father's house,
Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
thi jeg har fem Brødre — for at han kan vidne for dem, for at ikke ogsaa de skulle komme i dette Pinested.
29 But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.
Men Abraham siger til ham: De have Moses og Profeterne, lad dem høre dem!
30 And he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man would go to them from the dead they will repent.
Men han sagde: Nej, Fader Abraham! men dersom nogen fra de døde kommer til dem, ville de omvende sig.
31 And he said to him, If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if some man would rise from the dead.
Men han sagde til ham: Høre de ikke Moses og Profeterne, da lade de sig heller ikke overbevise, om nogen opstaar fra de døde.‟
