Luke 16
1 Jesus told his disciples this story. “There was once a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting what belonged to his master.
Jeesus jutustas oma jüngritele selle loo. „Elas kord üks rikas mees, kelle kojaülemat süüdistati oma isandale kuuluva vara raiskamises.
2 So the rich man called in his manager, and asked him, ‘What's this I hear about you? Bring in your accounts, because you won't be continuing as manager.’
Seega kutsus rikas mees oma kojaülema ja küsis temalt: „Mida ma sinu kohta kuulen? Esita oma aruanded, sest sa ei jätka enam kojaülema ametis.“
3 The manager said to himself, ‘Now what will I do since my master is going to fire me from my job? I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg.
Kojaülem ütles endamisi: „Mida ma nüüd teen, kui mu isand kavatseb mu töölt lahti lasta? Ma pole piisavalt tugev, et kaevata, ning kerjata on mul häbi.
4 Oh, I know what I'm going to do so that when I'm sacked as manager people will make me welcome in their homes.’
Ma tean, mida ma teen, et siis, kui mind kojaülema kohalt lahti lastakse, võtaksid inimesed mind hea meelega oma koju vastu.“
5 So he invited all those who were in debt to his master to come and see him. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
Nõnda siis kutsus ta kõik need, kes tema isandale võlgu olid, enda juurde. Ta küsis esimeselt: „Kui palju sa mu isandale võlgu oled?“
6 The man replied, ‘A hundred units of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Sit down quickly. Take your bill, and change it to fifty.’
Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu õli.“Ta ütles temale: „Istu ruttu maha. Võta oma võlakiri ja muuda see viiekümneks.“
7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred units of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill and change it to eighty.’
Siis küsis ta teiselt: „Kui palju sina võlgu oled?“Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu nisu.“Ta ütles temale: „Võta võlakiri ja muuda see kaheksakümneks.“
8 The rich man commended his dishonest manager for his cunning idea. The children of this world are more cunning towards one another than are the children of light. (aiōn g165)
Rikas mees kiitis oma ebaausat kojaülemat tema leidliku idee eest. Selle maailma lapsed on üksteise suhtes leidlikumad kui valguse lapsed. (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, use the wealth of this world to make friends for yourselves so that when it's gone, you'll be welcomed into an eternal home. (aiōnios g166)
Ma ütlen teile, kasutage selle maailma vara, et leida endale sõpru, nii et kui see on läbi, siis võetaks teid igavesse koju vastu. (aiōnios g166)
10 If you can be trusted with very little you can also be trusted with much; if you are dishonest with very little you will also be dishonest with much.
Kui teie kätte võib usaldada väga vähest, võib teile usaldada ka palju; kui olete ebaausad vähesega, olete ebaausad ka paljuga.
11 So if you can't be trusted when it comes to worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?
Kui teid ei saa usaldada ilmaliku vara mõttes, kes usaldaks teile siis tõelise rikkuse?
12 And if you can't be trusted with what belongs to someone else, who will trust you with what is yours?
Ja kui teid ei saa usaldada sellega, mis kuulub kellelegi teisele, kes usaldaks siis teile teie oma?
13 No servant can obey two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Money.”
Üks sulane ei saa kuuletuda kahele isandale. Ta kas vihkab üht ja armastab teist või on pühendunud ühele ja põlgab teist. Te ei saa teenida mõlemat, Jumalat ja raha.“
14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard what Jesus said and laughed at him.
Variserid, kes armastasid raha, kuulsid, mida Jeesus ütles, ja naersid tema üle.
15 But Jesus told them, “You appear pious to people, but God knows what you're thinking. What people value highly is detested by God.
Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Te paistate inimestele vagad, aga Jumal teab, mida te mõtlete. Jumal põlgab seda, mida inimesed kõrgelt hindavad.
16 What was written in the law and the prophets lasted until John. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God is being spread, and everyone is forcing their way in.
Seadusesse ja prohvetitesse kirjutatust jätkus Johanneseni. Sellest ajast alates on levitatud head sõnumit Jumala riigist ja kõik pingutavad, et sinna sisse minna.
17 However, it's easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest point of the Law to disappear.
Kuid taeval ja maal on lihtsam lõppeda kui Seaduse väikseimal punktil kaduda.
18 Any man who divorces his wife and marries someone else commits adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Iga mees, kes lahutab oma naisest ja abiellub teisega, rikub abielu, ning mees, kes abiellub lahutatud naisega, rikub abielu.
19 Once there was a man who was rich. He wore purple clothes and fine linen, and enjoyed a luxurious life.
Elas kord üks mees, kes oli rikas. Ta kandis purpurrõivaid ja peenlinast ning nautis luksuslikku elu.
20 A beggar named Lazarus used to sit at his gate, covered in sores,
Tema värava juures istus enamasti üks kerjus nimega Laatsarus. Ta oli haavanditega kaetud
21 longing to eat the leftovers from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
ja soovis süüa rikka mehe laualt jäävaid jääke. Isegi koerad tulid ja lakkusid tema haavu.
22 Then the beggar died, and angels carried him away to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
Siis kerjus suri ja inglid kandis ta Aabrahami juurde. Ka rikas mees suri ja maeti.
23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him. (Hadēs g86)
Allilmas, kus ta oli piinades, vaatas ta üles ja nägi kaugelt Aabrahami ja Laatsarust tema kõrval. (Hadēs g86)
24 ‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’
„Isa Aabraham, “hüüdis ta, „halasta mu peale ja saada Laatsarus, et ta kastaks oma sõrme vette ja jahutaks mu keelt, sest ma hõõgun piinas.“
25 But Abraham replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.
Aga Aabraham vastas: „Mu poeg, meenuta, et sa nautisid elus häid asju, samal ajal kui Laatsarusel oli väga kehv elu. Nüüd leiab tema lohutust, samas sina kannatad piinu.
26 Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over to us.’
Peale selle on meie ja teie vahel laiumas suur kuristik. Mitte keegi, kes tahab, ei saa minna siit üle sinna teie juurde, ja mitte keegi ei saa tulla üle sealt meie juurde.“
27 The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please send him to my father's house.
Rikas mees ütles: „Siis anun sind, isa, palun saada ta mu isa majja.
28 For I have five brothers and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’
Sest mul on viis venda ja ta võib neid hoiatada, et nemadki ei lõpetaks siin piinapaigas.“
29 But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’
Kuid Aabraham vastas: „Neil on Mooses ja prohvetid. Nad peaksid neid kuulama.“
30 ‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’
„Ei, isa Aabraham, “ütles mees. „Aga nad parandaksid meelt, kui nende juurde läheks keegi surnutest!“
31 Abraham said to him, ‘If they won't listen to Moses and the prophets, they won't be convinced even if someone returns from the dead.’”
Aabraham ütles talle: „Kui nad ei kuula Moosest ja prohveteid, ei veena neid ka see, kui keegi surnuist tagasi tuleks.““
