Luke 16
1 And He also said to His disciples, “A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;
Men han sagde også 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 having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about you? Render the account of your stewardship, for you may not be steward any 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 in himself, What will I do, because my lord takes away the stewardship from me? I am not able 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 formår ikke at Grave, jeg skammer mig ved at tigge.
4 I have known what I will do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Nu ved jeg, hvad jeg vil gøre, for af de skulle modtage mig i deres Huse, når jeg bliver sat fra Husholdningen.
5 And having called near each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to 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 And he said, One hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down 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 Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, One hundred cors of wheat; and he says 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 Mål Hvede. Han siger til ham: Tag dit Skyldbrev og skriv firsindstyve!
8 And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light in respect to their generation. (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 to yourselves friends out of the wealth of unrighteousness, that when you may fail, they may receive you into the continuous dwelling places. (aiōnios g166)
Og jeg siger eder: Gører eder Venner ved Uretfærdighedens Mammon, for at de, når det er forbi med den, må modtage eder i de evige Boliger. (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
Den, som er tro i det mindste, er også tro i meget, og den, som er uretfærdig i det mindste, er også uretfærdig i meget.
11 if, then, in the unrighteous wealth you did not become faithful—who will entrust to you the true?
Dersom I da ikke have været tro i den uretfærdige Mammon, hvem vil da betro eder den sande?
12 And if in the other’s you did not become faithful—who will give to you 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 is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one, and he will love the other; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; you are not able to serve God and wealth.”
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 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding Him,
Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.
15 and He said to them, “You are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; because that which is high among men [is] 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 [are] until John; since then the good news of the Kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone presses into 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 the heaven and the earth to pass away, than one tittle to fall of the Law.
Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgå, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.
18 Everyone who is sending his wife away, and marrying another, commits adultery; and everyone who is marrying her sent away from a 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 And—a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry 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 poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
Men en fattig ved Navn Lazarus var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Sår.
21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; indeed, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
Og han attråede at mættes af det, som faldt fra den Riges Bord; men også Hundene kom og slikkede hans Sår.
22 And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers into the bosom of Abraham—and the rich man also died, and was buried;
Men det skete, at den fattige døde, og at han blev henbåren af Englene i Abrahams Skød; men den rige døde også og blev begravet.
23 and having lifted up his eyes in Hades, being in torments, he sees Abraham far 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 having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.
Og han råbte 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, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and you are distressed;
Men Abraham sagde: Barn! kom i Hu, at du har fået dit gode i din Livstid, og Lazarus ligeså det onde; men nu trøstes han her, og du pines.
26 and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from here to you are not able, nor do they pass through from there 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 And he said, I ask, then, father, that you may send him to the house of my father,
Men han sagde: Så beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
thi jeg har fem Brødre for at han kan vidne for dem, for at ikke også de skulle komme i dette Pinested.
29 Abraham says 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 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if anyone from the dead may go to them, they will convert.
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 do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one may rise out of the dead.”
Men han sagde til ham: Høre de ikke Moses og Profeterne, da lade de sig heller ikke overbevise, om nogen opstår fra de døde."
