Luke 16
1 AND he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
Jeesus jutustas oma jüngritele selle loo. „Elas kord üks rikas mees, kelle kojaülemat süüdistati oma isandale kuuluva vara raiskamises.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
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 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
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 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Ma tean, mida ma teen, et siis, kui mind kojaülema kohalt lahti lastakse, võtaksid inimesed mind hea meelega oma koju vastu.“
5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
Nõnda siis kutsus ta kõik need, kes tema isandale võlgu olid, enda juurde. Ta küsis esimeselt: „Kui palju sa mu isandale võlgu oled?“
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu õli.“Ta ütles temale: „Istu ruttu maha. Võta oma võlakiri ja muuda see viiekümneks.“
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
Siis küsis ta teiselt: „Kui palju sina võlgu oled?“Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu nisu.“Ta ütles temale: „Võta võlakiri ja muuda see kaheksakümneks.“
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than 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 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (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 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Kui teie kätte võib usaldada väga vähest, võib teile usaldada ka palju; kui olete ebaausad vähesega, olete ebaausad ka paljuga.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Kui teid ei saa usaldada ilmaliku vara mõttes, kes usaldaks teile siis tõelise rikkuse?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
Ja kui teid ei saa usaldada sellega, mis kuulub kellelegi teisele, kes usaldaks siis teile teie oma?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
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 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Variserid, kes armastasid raha, kuulsid, mida Jeesus ütles, ja naersid tema üle.
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Te paistate inimestele vagad, aga Jumal teab, mida te mõtlete. Jumal põlgab seda, mida inimesed kõrgelt hindavad.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Seadusesse ja prohvetitesse kirjutatust jätkus Johanneseni. Sellest ajast alates on levitatud head sõnumit Jumala riigist ja kõik pingutavad, et sinna sisse minna.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Kuid taeval ja maal on lihtsam lõppeda kui Seaduse väikseimal punktil kaduda.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Iga mees, kes lahutab oma naisest ja abiellub teisega, rikub abielu, ning mees, kes abiellub lahutatud naisega, rikub abielu.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Elas kord üks mees, kes oli rikas. Ta kandis purpurrõivaid ja peenlinast ning nautis luksuslikku elu.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Tema värava juures istus enamasti üks kerjus nimega Laatsarus. Ta oli haavanditega kaetud
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
ja soovis süüa rikka mehe laualt jäävaid jääke. Isegi koerad tulid ja lakkusid tema haavu.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Siis kerjus suri ja inglid kandis ta Aabrahami juurde. Ka rikas mees suri ja maeti.
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Allilmas, kus ta oli piinades, vaatas ta üles ja nägi kaugelt Aabrahami ja Laatsarust tema kõrval. (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, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
„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 said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
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 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
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 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest 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 brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Sest mul on viis venda ja ta võib neid hoiatada, et nemadki ei lõpetaks siin piinapaigas.“
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Kuid Aabraham vastas: „Neil on Mooses ja prohvetid. Nad peaksid neid kuulama.“
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
„Ei, isa Aabraham, “ütles mees. „Aga nad parandaksid meelt, kui nende juurde läheks keegi surnutest!“
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Aabraham ütles talle: „Kui nad ei kuula Moosest ja prohveteid, ei veena neid ka see, kui keegi surnuist tagasi tuleks.““
