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.
Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.
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.
Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te? redde rationem villicationis tuæ: jam enim non poteris villicare.
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.
Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem? Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco.
4 I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
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?
Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
6 And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.
At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
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.
Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
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)
Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii hujus sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. (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)
Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula. (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.
Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in majori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in majori iniquus est.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
12 and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
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.
Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
Audiebant autem omnia hæc pharisæi, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
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.
Et ait illis: Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.
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.
Lex et prophetæ usque ad Joannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
17 But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
Facilius est autem cælum et terram præterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere.
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.
Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.
19 Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
20 And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus,
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.
cupiens saturari de micis quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus.
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.
Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives,
23 And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
et sepultus est in inferno. Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus: (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.
et ipse clamans dixit: Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
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.
Et dixit illi Abraham: Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala: nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris:
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.
et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est: ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
27 And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
Et ait: Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei:
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.
habeo enim quinque fratres: ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
29 But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.
Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen et prophetas: audiant illos.
30 But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.
At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.
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.
Ait autem illi: Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
