Luke 16
1 And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.
Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.
2 And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te? Redde rationem villicationis tuæ: iam enim non poteris villicare.
3 And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem, fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco?
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
5 And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo?
6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.
Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
8 And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii huius sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in maiori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in maiori iniquus est.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis: quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
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. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet: non potestis Deo servire, et mammonæ.
14 And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.
Audiebant autem omnia hæc Pharisæi, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
15 And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
Et ait illis: Vos estis, qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.
16 The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.
Lex, et prophetæ usque ad Ioannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.
Facilius est autem cælum, et terram præterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
18 Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.
Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam, et alteram ducit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.
19 Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:
Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura, et bysso: et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
20 and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, ulceribus plenus,
21 and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
cupiens saturari de micis, quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera eius.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.
Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab Angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives,
23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
et sepultus est in inferno. Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu eius: (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 in anguish in this flame.
et ipse clamans dixit: Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.
Et dixit illi Abraham: Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala: nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
Et in his omnibus inter nos, et vos chaos magnum firmatum est: ut hi, qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
27 And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;
Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Habeo enim quinque fratres, ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
29 But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.
At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
Ait autem illi: Si Moysen, et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
