Luke 16
1 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.
Jeesus jutustas oma jüngritele selle loo. „Elas kord üks rikas mees, kelle kojaülemat süüdistati oma isandale kuuluva vara raiskamises.
2 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.
Seega kutsus rikas mees oma kojaülema ja küsis temalt: „Mida ma sinu kohta kuulen? Esita oma aruanded, sest sa ei jätka enam kojaülema ametis.“
3 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.
Kojaülem ütles endamisi: „Mida ma nüüd teen, kui mu isand kavatseb mu töölt lahti lasta? Ma pole piisavalt tugev, et kaevata, ning kerjata on mul häbi.
4 I am resolved on what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
Ma tean, mida ma teen, et siis, kui mind kojaülema kohalt lahti lastakse, võtaksid inimesed mind hea meelega oma koju vastu.“
5 And he called to him every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
Nõnda siis kutsus ta kõik need, kes tema isandale võlgu olid, enda juurde. Ta küsis esimeselt: „Kui palju sa mu isandale võlgu oled?“
6 He replied, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take back your note, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu õli.“Ta ütles temale: „Istu ruttu maha. Võta oma võlakiri ja muuda see viiekümneks.“
7 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.
Siis küsis ta teiselt: „Kui palju sina võlgu oled?“Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu nisu.“Ta ütles temale: „Võta võlakiri ja muuda see kaheksakümneks.“
8 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)
Rikas mees kiitis oma ebaausat kojaülemat tema leidliku idee eest. Selle maailma lapsed on üksteise suhtes leidlikumad kui valguse lapsed. (aiōn g165)
9 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)
Ma ütlen teile, kasutage selle maailma vara, et leida endale sõpru, nii et kui see on läbi, siis võetaks teid igavesse koju vastu. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much. He that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
Kui teie kätte võib usaldada väga vähest, võib teile usaldada ka palju; kui olete ebaausad vähesega, olete ebaausad ka paljuga.
11 If, therefore, you have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will intrust you with the true?
Kui teid ei saa usaldada ilmaliku vara mõttes, kes usaldaks teile siis tõelise rikkuse?
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give to you that which is your own?
Ja kui teid ei saa usaldada sellega, mis kuulub kellelegi teisele, kes usaldaks siis teile teie oma?
13 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.
Üks sulane ei saa kuuletuda kahele isandale. Ta kas vihkab üht ja armastab teist või on pühendunud ühele ja põlgab teist. Te ei saa teenida mõlemat, Jumalat ja raha.“
14 And the Pharisees also, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Variserid, kes armastasid raha, kuulsid, mida Jeesus ütles, ja naersid tema üle.
15 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.
Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Te paistate inimestele vagad, aga Jumal teab, mida te mõtlete. Jumal põlgab seda, mida inimesed kõrgelt hindavad.
16 The law and the prophets were till John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it by force.
Seadusesse ja prohvetitesse kirjutatust jätkus Johanneseni. Sellest ajast alates on levitatud head sõnumit Jumala riigist ja kõik pingutavad, et sinna sisse minna.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one point of the law to fail.
Kuid taeval ja maal on lihtsam lõppeda kui Seaduse väikseimal punktil kaduda.
18 Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
Iga mees, kes lahutab oma naisest ja abiellub teisega, rikub abielu, ning mees, kes abiellub lahutatud naisega, rikub abielu.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day.
Elas kord üks mees, kes oli rikas. Ta kandis purpurrõivaid ja peenlinast ning nautis luksuslikku elu.
20 And there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores:
Tema värava juures istus enamasti üks kerjus nimega Laatsarus. Ta oli haavanditega kaetud
21 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.
ja soovis süüa rikka mehe laualt jäävaid jääke. Isegi koerad tulid ja lakkusid tema haavu.
22 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;
Siis kerjus suri ja inglid kandis ta Aabrahami juurde. Ka rikas mees suri ja maeti.
23 and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Allilmas, kus ta oli piinades, vaatas ta üles ja nägi kaugelt Aabrahami ja Laatsarust tema kõrval. (Hadēs g86)
24 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.
„Isa Aabraham, “hüüdis ta, „halasta mu peale ja saada Laatsarus, et ta kastaks oma sõrme vette ja jahutaks mu keelt, sest ma hõõgun piinas.“
25 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.
Aga Aabraham vastas: „Mu poeg, meenuta, et sa nautisid elus häid asju, samal ajal kui Laatsarusel oli väga kehv elu. Nüüd leiab tema lohutust, samas sina kannatad piinu.
26 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.
Peale selle on meie ja teie vahel laiumas suur kuristik. Mitte keegi, kes tahab, ei saa minna siit üle sinna teie juurde, ja mitte keegi ei saa tulla üle sealt meie juurde.“
27 Then he said, I beseech you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
Rikas mees ütles: „Siis anun sind, isa, palun saada ta mu isa majja.
28 for I have five brothers; that he may earnestly admonish them, lest they also come to this place of torment.
Sest mul on viis venda ja ta võib neid hoiatada, et nemadki ei lõpetaks siin piinapaigas.“
29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Kuid Aabraham vastas: „Neil on Mooses ja prohvetid. Nad peaksid neid kuulama.“
30 But he said, Not so, Father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
„Ei, isa Aabraham, “ütles mees. „Aga nad parandaksid meelt, kui nende juurde läheks keegi surnutest!“
31 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.
Aabraham ütles talle: „Kui nad ei kuula Moosest ja prohveteid, ei veena neid ka see, kui keegi surnuist tagasi tuleks.““
