< 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.
ελεγεν δε και προσ τουσ μαθητασ αυτου ανθρωποσ τισ ην πλουσιοσ οσ ειχεν οικονομον και ουτοσ διεβληθη αυτω ωσ διασκορπιζων τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
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.
και φωνησασ αυτον ειπεν αυτω τι τουτο ακουω περι σου αποδοσ τον λογον τησ οικονομιασ σου ου γαρ δυνηση ετι οικονομειν
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
ειπεν δε εν εαυτω ο οικονομοσ τι ποιησω οτι ο κυριοσ μου αφαιρειται την οικονομιαν απ εμου σκαπτειν ουκ ισχυω επαιτειν αισχυνομαι
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
εγνων τι ποιησω ινα οταν μετασταθω τησ οικονομιασ δεξωνται με εισ τουσ οικουσ αυτων
5 So he called every one of his master's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my master?
και προσκαλεσαμενοσ ενα εκαστον των χρεωφειλετων του κυριου εαυτου ελεγεν τω πρωτω ποσον οφειλεισ τω κυριω μου
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
ο δε ειπεν εκατον βατουσ ελαιου και ειπεν αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και καθισασ ταχεωσ γραψον πεντηκοντα
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.
επειτα ετερω ειπεν συ δε ποσον οφειλεισ ο δε ειπεν εκατον κορουσ σιτου και λεγει αυτω δεξαι σου το γραμμα και γραψον ογδοηκοντα
8 And the master 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 )
και επηνεσεν ο κυριοσ τον οικονομον τησ αδικιασ οτι φρονιμωσ εποιησεν οτι οι υιοι του αιωνοσ τουτου φρονιμωτεροι υπερ τουσ υιουσ του φωτοσ εισ την γενεαν την εαυτων εισιν (aiōn )
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 )
καγω υμιν λεγω ποιησατε εαυτοισ φιλουσ εκ του μαμωνα τησ αδικιασ ινα οταν εκλιπητε δεξωνται υμασ εισ τασ αιωνιουσ σκηνασ (aiōnios )
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.
ο πιστοσ εν ελαχιστω και εν πολλω πιστοσ εστιν και ο εν ελαχιστω αδικοσ και εν πολλω αδικοσ εστιν
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
ει ουν εν τω αδικω μαμωνα πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το αληθινον τισ υμιν πιστευσει
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
και ει εν τω αλλοτριω πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το υμετερον τισ υμιν δωσει
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 YHWH and mammon.
ουδεισ οικετησ δυναται δυσιν κυριοισ δουλευειν η γαρ τον ενα μισησει και τον ετερον αγαπησει η ενοσ ανθεξεται και του ετερου καταφρονησει ου δυνασθε θεω δουλευειν και μαμωνα
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
ηκουον δε ταυτα παντα και οι φαρισαιοι φιλαργυροι υπαρχοντεσ και εξεμυκτηριζον αυτον
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but YHWH knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of YHWH.
και ειπεν αυτοισ υμεισ εστε οι δικαιουντεσ εαυτουσ ενωπιον των ανθρωπων ο δε θεοσ γινωσκει τασ καρδιασ υμων οτι το εν ανθρωποισ υψηλον βδελυγμα ενωπιον του θεου
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of YHWH is preached, and every man presseth into it.
ο νομοσ και οι προφηται εωσ ιωαννου απο τοτε η βασιλεια του θεου ευαγγελιζεται και πασ εισ αυτην βιαζεται
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
ευκοπωτερον δε εστιν τον ουρανον και την γην παρελθειν η του νομου μιαν κεραιαν πεσειν
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
πασ ο απολυων την γυναικα αυτου και γαμων ετεραν μοιχευει και πασ ο απολελυμενην απο ανδροσ γαμων μοιχευει
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
ανθρωποσ δε τισ ην πλουσιοσ και ενεδιδυσκετο πορφυραν και βυσσον ευφραινομενοσ καθ ημεραν λαμπρωσ
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
πτωχοσ δε τισ ην ονοματι λαζαροσ οσ εβεβλητο προσ τον πυλωνα αυτου ηλκωμενοσ
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.
και επιθυμων χορτασθηναι απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο τησ τραπεζησ του πλουσιου αλλα και οι κυνεσ ερχομενοι απελειχον τα ελκη αυτου
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;
εγενετο δε αποθανειν τον πτωχον και απενεχθηναι αυτον υπο των αγγελων εισ τον κολπον αβρααμ απεθανεν δε και ο πλουσιοσ και εταφη
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs )
και εν τω αδη επαρασ τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτου υπαρχων εν βασανοισ ορα τον αβρααμ απο μακροθεν και λαζαρον εν τοισ κολποισ αυτου (Hadēs )
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.
και αυτοσ φωνησασ ειπεν πατερ αβρααμ ελεησον με και πεμψον λαζαρον ινα βαψη το ακρον του δακτυλου αυτου υδατοσ και καταψυξη την γλωσσαν μου οτι οδυνωμαι εν τη φλογι ταυτη
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.
ειπεν δε αβρααμ τεκνον μνησθητι οτι απελαβεσ συ τα αγαθα σου εν τη ζωη σου και λαζαροσ ομοιωσ τα κακα νυν δε ωδε παρακαλειται συ δε οδυνασαι
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.
και επι πασιν τουτοισ μεταξυ ημων και υμων χασμα μεγα εστηρικται οπωσ οι θελοντεσ διαβηναι ενθεν προσ υμασ μη δυνωνται μηδε οι εκειθεν προσ ημασ διαπερωσιν
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
ειπεν δε ερωτω ουν σε πατερ ινα πεμψησ αυτον εισ τον οικον του πατροσ μου
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
εχω γαρ πεντε αδελφουσ οπωσ διαμαρτυρηται αυτοισ ινα μη και αυτοι ελθωσιν εισ τον τοπον τουτον τησ βασανου
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
λεγει αυτω αβρααμ εχουσιν μωσεα και τουσ προφητασ ακουσατωσαν αυτων
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
ο δε ειπεν ουχι πατερ αβρααμ αλλ εαν τισ απο νεκρων πορευθη προσ αυτουσ μετανοησουσιν
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.
ειπεν δε αυτω ει μωσεωσ και των προφητων ουκ ακουουσιν ουδε εαν τισ εκ νεκρων αναστη πεισθησονται
