Luke 16
1 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.
耶稣又对门徒说：“有一个财主的管家，别人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物。
2 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.’
主人叫他来，对他说：‘我听见你这事怎么样呢？把你所经管的交代明白，因你不能再作我的管家。’
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
那管家心里说：‘主人辞我，不用我再作管家，我将来做什么？锄地呢？无力；讨饭呢？怕羞。
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
我知道怎么行，好叫人在我不作管家之后，接我到他们家里去。’
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
于是把欠他主人债的，一个一个地叫了来，问头一个说：‘你欠我主人多少？’
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
他说：‘一百篓油。’管家说：‘拿你的帐，快坐下，写五十。’
7 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.’
又问一个说：‘你欠多少？’他说：‘一百石麦子。’管家说：‘拿你的帐，写八十。’
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this age (aiōn g165) are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事聪明；因为今世之子，在世事之上，较比光明之子更加聪明。 (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails, they may receive you into consummate (aiōnios g166) tents.
我又告诉你们，要借着那不义的钱财结交朋友，到了钱财无用的时候，他们可以接你们到永存的帐幕里去。 (aiōnios g166)
10 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.
人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不义，在大事上也不义。
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心，谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢？
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
倘若你们在别人的东西上不忠心，谁还把你们自己的东西给你们呢？
13 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 are not able to serve God and Mammon.”
一个仆人不能事奉两个主；不是恶这个爱那个，就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又事奉 神，又事奉玛门。”
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
法利赛人是贪爱钱财的；他们听见这一切话，就嗤笑耶稣。
15 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.
耶稣对他们说：“你们是在人面前自称为义的，你们的心， 神却知道；因为人所尊贵的，是 神看为可憎恶的。
16 “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
律法和先知到约翰为止，从此 神国的福音传开了，人人努力要进去。
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
天地废去较比律法的一点一画落空还容易。
18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
凡休妻另娶的就是犯奸淫；娶被休之妻的也是犯奸淫。”
19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
“有一个财主穿着紫色袍和细麻布衣服，天天奢华宴乐。
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
又有一个讨饭的，名叫拉撒路，浑身生疮，被人放在财主门口，
21 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.
要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥，并且狗来舔他的疮。
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
后来那讨饭的死了，被天使带去放在亚伯拉罕的怀里。财主也死了，并且埋葬了。
23 In Hades (Hadēs g86), he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
他在阴间受痛苦，举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕，又望见拉撒路在他怀里， (Hadēs g86)
24 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.’
就喊着说：‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪，可怜我吧！打发拉撒路来，用指头尖蘸点水，凉凉我的舌头；因为我在这火焰里，极其痛苦。’
25 “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.
亚伯拉罕说：‘儿啊，你该回想你生前享过福，拉撒路也受过苦；如今他在这里得安慰，你倒受痛苦。
26 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.’
不但这样，并且在你我之间，有深渊限定，以致人要从这边过到你们那边是不能的；要从那边过到我们这边也是不能的。’
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
财主说：‘我祖啊！既是这样，求你打发拉撒路到我父家去；
28 for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they will not also come into this place of torment.’
因为我还有五个弟兄，他可以对他们作见证，免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’
29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
亚伯拉罕说：‘他们有摩西和先知的话可以听从。’
30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
他说：‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪，不是的，若有一个从死里复活的，到他们那里去的，他们必要悔改。’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
亚伯拉罕说：‘若不听从摩西和先知的话，就是有一个从死里复活的，他们也是不听劝。’”
