Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
| ܘܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܬܐܟܠܘ ܠܗ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܕܩܢܝܢܗ ܡܦܪܚ |
2 He called him, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'
| ܘܩܪܝܗܝ ܡܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܗܒ ܠܝ ܚܘܫܒܢܐ ܕܪܒܬ ܒܝܬܘܬܟ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܡܟܝܠ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܝ |
3 "The manager said within himself, 'What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I do not have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
| ܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܡܪܝ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܡܢܝ ܪܒܬ ܒܝܬܘܬܐ ܕܐܚܦܘܪ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܡܚܕܪ ܒܗܬ ܐܢܐ |
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
| ܝܕܥܬ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܡܢ ܪܒܬ ܒܝܬܘܬܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܢܝ ܒܒܬܝܗܘܢ |
5 Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
| ܘܩܪܐ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܝܒܐ ܕܡܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܩܕܡܝܐ ܟܡܐ ܚܝܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܪܝ |
6 He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܐܐ ܡܬܪܝܢ ܡܫܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܤܒ ܟܬܒܟ ܘܬܒ ܒܥܓܠ ܟܬܘܒ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܡܬܪܝܢ |
7 Then he said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
| ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܚܝܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܪܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܐܐ ܟܘܪܝܢ ܚܛܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܒܠ ܟܬܒܟ ܘܬܒ ܟܬܘܒ ܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܟܘܪܝܢ |
8 "His lord commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness, for the people of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the people of light. (aiōn g165)
| ܘܫܒܚ ܡܪܢ ܠܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܕܚܟܝܡܐܝܬ ܥܒܕ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܚܟܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܒܫܪܒܬܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ (aiōn g165) |
9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the everlasting dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
| ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܪܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܡܘܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܓܡܪ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܒܡܛܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ (aiōnios g166) |
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
| ܡܢ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܦ ܒܤܓܝ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܥܘܠ ܐܦ ܒܤܓܝ ܥܘܠ ܗܘ |
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
| ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܡܡܘܢܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܗܝܡܢ |
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
| ܘܐܢ ܒܕܠܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚܬܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ |
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and wealth."
| ܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܪܘܢ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܐܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܕ ܢܤܢܐ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܪܚܡ ܐܘ ܠܚܕ ܢܝܩܪ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܫܘܛ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܡܘܢܐ |
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
| ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܤܦܐ ܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ |
15 He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among people is an abomination in the sight of God.
| ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܙܕܩܝܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܪܡ ܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܕܝܕ ܗܘ |
16 The Law and the Prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
| ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܐ ܘܟܠ ܠܗ ܚܒܨ ܕܢܥܘܠ |
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Law to become void.
| ܦܫܝܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܐܘ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܬܥܒܪ |
18 Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
| ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܫܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܤܒ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܓܐܪ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܤܒ ܫܒܝܩܬܐ ܓܐܪ |
19 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
| ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܒܫ ܗܘܐ ܒܘܨܐ ܘܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܟܠܝܘܡ ܡܬܒܤܡܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܓܐܝܐܝܬ |
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was placed at his gate, full of sores,
| ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܘܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܗܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܟܕ ܡܡܚܝ ܒܫܘܚܢܐ |
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
| ܘܡܬܝܐܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܡܠܐ ܟܪܤܗ ܡܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܗܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܠܚܟܝܢ ܫܘܚܢܘܗܝ |
22 It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
| ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܡܝܬ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܥܘܒܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܡܝܬ ܘܐܬܩܒܪ |
23 In hell, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
| ܘܟܕ ܡܫܬܢܩ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܠܠܥܙܪ ܒܥܘܒܗ (Hadēs g86) |
24 He called out 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 in anguish in this flame.'
| ܘܩܪܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܕܢܨܒܘܥ ܪܝܫ ܨܒܥܗ ܒܡܝܐ ܘܢܪܛܒ ܠܝ ܠܫܢܝ ܕܗܐ ܡܫܬܢܩ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ |
25 "But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in like manner, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܪܝ ܐܬܕܟܪ ܕܩܒܠܬ ܛܒܬܟ ܒܚܝܝܟ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܒܝܫܬܗ ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܡܬܬܢܝܚ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܫܬܢܩ |
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'
| ܘܥܡ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܤܝܡܐ ܒܝܢܝܢ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܡܟܐ ܕܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܘܐܦܠܐ ܕܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܠܘܬܢ |
27 "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܕܝܢ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܒܝ ܕܬܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ |
28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
| ܚܡܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܢܐܙܠ ܢܤܗܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܬܫܢܝܩܐ |
29 "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the Prophets. Let them listen to them.'
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ |
30 "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
| ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܐܒܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܬܝܒܝܢ |
31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"
| ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܢ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܘܠܢܒܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܠܗ |
