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 as wasting his goods.
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 that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
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 steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship 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, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received 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 called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou 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 baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and 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 Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing 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 the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of 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 to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles. (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 He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is 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 have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
Dersom I da ikke have været tro i den uretfærdige Mammon, hvem vil da betro eder den sande?
12 and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
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 will love the other, or he will cleave to the 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 also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
15 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before 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 glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.
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 that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgaa, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
18 Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away 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 rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
Men der var en rig Mand, og han klædte sig i Purpur og kostbart Linned og levede hver Dag i Fryd og Herlighed.
20 And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
21 and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming 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 that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. 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 in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in 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 he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering 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, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.
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 this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto 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 beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to 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 But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, 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 hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.
Men han sagde til ham: Høre de ikke Moses og Profeterne, da lade de sig heller ikke overbevise, om nogen opstaar fra de døde.‟
