Luke 16
1 And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted 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 he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
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, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
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 be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me 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 Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe 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 But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill 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 how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, 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 commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children 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 unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings. (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 that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
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 then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
Dersom I da ikke have været tro i den uretfærdige Mammon, hvem vil da betro eder den sande?
12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is 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 love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You 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 Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
15 And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, 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 kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
Loven og Profeterne vare indtil Johannes; fra den Tid forkyndes Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og enhver trænger derind med Vold.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgaa, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth 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 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously 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 certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
21 Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and 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 beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he 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 in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw 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 cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented 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 And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
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, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
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: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
28 That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
thi jeg har fem Brødre — for at han kan vidne for dem, for at ikke ogsaa de skulle komme i dette Pinested.
29 And Abraham said 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: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
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, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
Men han sagde til ham: Høre de ikke Moses og Profeterne, da lade de sig heller ikke overbevise, om nogen opstaar fra de døde.‟
