Luke 16
1 Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of 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 So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
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 Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength 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, so that whenever I am removed from the management 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 Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
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 olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your 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 do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your 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 The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the 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 “I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal 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 who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest 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 you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
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 what belongs to another, who will give you what 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; either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted 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 lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
15 So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among 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; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force 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 for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fail.
Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgaa, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
18 “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her 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 certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury 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, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
Men en fattig, ved Navn Lazarus, var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Saar.
21 just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
Og han attraaede at mættes af det, som faldt fra den riges Bord; men ogsaa Hundene kom og slikkede hans Saar.
22 In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “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 he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (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 he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by 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, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you 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 a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to 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 Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
Men han sagde: Saa beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus —
28 because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also 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 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 So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone 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 He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise 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.‟
