Luke 16
1 And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.
E dizia tambem aos seus discipulos: Havia um certo homem rico, o qual tinha um mordomo; e este foi accusado perante elle de dissipar os seus bens.
2 And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.
E elle, chamando-o, disse-lhe: Que é isto que ouço de ti? Dá contas da tua mordomia, porque já não poderás mais ser mordomo.
3 And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.
E o mordomo disse comsigo: Que farei, pois que o meu senhor me tira a mordomia? Cavar, não posso; de mendigar, tenho vergonha.
4 I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.
Eu sei o que hei-de fazer, para que, quando fôr desapossado da mordomia, me recebam em suas casas.
5 And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord?
E, chamando a si cada um dos devedores do seu senhor, disse ao primeiro: Quanto deves ao meu senhor?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty.
E elle disse: Cem medidas de azeite. E disse-lhe: Toma a tua obrigação, e, assentando-te já, escreve cincoenta.
7 Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.
Disse depois a outro: E tu quanto deves? E elle disse: Cem alqueires de trigo. E disse-lhe: Toma a tua obrigação, e escreve oitenta.
8 And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
E louvou aquelle senhor o injusto mordomo por haver procedido prudentemente, porque os filhos d'este mundo são mais prudentes na sua geração do que os filhos da luz. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places. (aiōnios g166)
E eu vos digo: Grangeae amigos com as riquezas da injustiça; para que, quando necessitardes, vos recebam nos tabernaculos eternos. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great.
Quem é fiel no minimo, tambem é fiel no muito; quem é injusto no minimo, tambem é injusto no muito.
11 If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?
Pois, se na riqueza injusta não fostes fieis, quem vos confiará a verdadeira?
12 And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?
E, se no alheio não fostes fieis, quem vos dará o que é vosso?
13 No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.
Nenhum servo pode servir dois senhores; porque, ou ha de aborrecer um e amar o outro, ou se ha de chegar a um e desprezar o outro. Não podeis servir a Deus e a Mammon.
14 And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.
E os phariseos, que eram avarentos, ouviam todas estas coisas, e zombavam d'elle.
15 And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.
E disse-lhes: Vós sois os que vos justificaes a vós mesmos diante dos homens, mas Deus conhece os vossos corações, porque, o que entre os homens é elevado, perante Deus é abominação.
16 The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.
A lei e os prophetas duraram até João: desde então é annunciado o reino de Deus, e todo o homem forceja por entrar n'elle.
17 But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.
E é mais facil passar o céu e a terra do que cair um til da lei.
18 Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her.
Qualquer que deixa sua mulher, e casa com outra, adultéra; e aquelle que casa com a repudiada pelo marido tambem adultéra.
19 Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day.
Ora, havia um homem rico, e vestia-se de purpura e de linho finissimo, e vivia todos os dias regalada e esplendidamente.
20 And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,
Havia tambem um certo mendigo, chamado Lazaro, que jazia cheio de chagas á porta d'aquelle;
21 Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds.
E desejava saciar-se com as migalhas que cahiam da mesa do rico; e até vinham os cães, e lambiam-lhe as chagas.
22 And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.
E aconteceu que o mendigo morreu, e foi levado pelos anjos para o seio d'Abrahão; e morreu tambem o rico, e foi sepultado.
23 And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast. (Hadēs g86)
E no inferno, erguendo os olhos, estando em tormentos, viu ao longe Abrahão, e Lazaro no seu seio. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.
E elle, clamando, disse: Pae Abrahão, tem misericordia de mim, e manda a Lazaro que molhe na agua a ponta do seu dedo e me refresque a lingua, porque estou atormentado n'esta chamma.
25 But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.
Disse, porém, Abrahão: Filho, lembra-te de que recebeste os teus bens em tua vida, e Lazaro sómente males; e agora este é consolado e tu atormentado;
26 And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.
E, além d'isso, está posto um grande abysmo entre nós e vós, de sorte que os que quizessem passar d'aqui para vós não poderiam, nem tão pouco os de lá passar para cá
27 And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;
E disse elle: Rogo-te pois, ó pae, que o mandes a casa de meu pae,
28 For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.
Porque tenho cinco irmãos; para que lhes dê testemunho, afim de que não venham tambem para este logar de tormento.
29 But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.
Disse-lhe Abrahão: Teem Moysés e os prophetas; ouçam-n'os.
30 And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.
E disse elle: Não, pae Abrahão; mas, se alguem dos mortos fosse ter com elles, arrepender-se-hiam.
31 And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.
Porém Abrahão lhe disse: Se não ouvem a Moysés e aos prophetas, tão pouco acreditarão, ainda que algum dos mortos resuscite.
