Luke 16
1 And he went on to say, unto his disciples also, —There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods.
dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
2 And, accosting him, he said unto him—What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward.
et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
3 And the steward said within himself—What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed.
ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
4 I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses.
scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
5 And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first, —How much owest thou my lord?
convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
6 And, he, said—A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write—Fifty!
at ille dixit centum cados olei dixitque illi accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito scribe quinquaginta
7 After that, unto another, he said—And how much owest, thou? And, he, said—A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him—Kindly take thine accounts, and write—Eighty!
deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
8 And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted: —Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation. (aiōn g165)
et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt (aiōn g165)
9 And, I, unto you, say—For yourselves, make ye friends, with the unjust Riches, in order that, as soon as it shall fail, they may welcome you into the age-abiding tents. (aiōnios g166)
et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula (aiōnios g166)
10 The faithful in least, in much also, is, faithful, and, he that in least is unrighteous, in much also, is, unrighteous.
qui fidelis est in minimo et in maiori fidelis est et qui in modico iniquus est et in maiori iniquus est
11 If therefore, in the unjust Riches ye proved unfaithful, the true, who, unto you, will entrust?
si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
12 And, if, in what was another’s, ye proved unfaithful, your own, who will give unto you?
et si in alieno fideles non fuistis quod vestrum est quis dabit vobis
13 No domestic, can, unto two masters, be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, unto the one, he will hold, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot, unto God, be in service, and unto Riches.
nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire aut enim unum odiet et alterum diliget aut uni adherebit et alterum contemnet non potestis Deo servire et mamonae
14 Now the Pharisees, who were, lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were openly sneering at him.
audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei qui erant avari et deridebant illum
15 And he said unto them—Ye, are they who justify themselves before men, but, God, knoweth your hearts; because, that which amongst men is lofty, is an abomination before 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 good news of the kingdom of God, is being proclaimed, and, everyone, thereinto, is forcing his way.
lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
17 But it is, easier, for heaven and earth to pass away, than that, of the law, one little point, should fail.
facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire quam de lege unum apicem cadere
18 Every one divorcing his wife and marrying another, committeth adultery; and, he that marrieth a woman divorced from a husband, committeth adultery.
omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
19 Now, a certain man, was rich, and he used to clothe himself with purple and fine linen, making merry day by day, brilliantly.
homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
20 And, a certain beggar, by name Lazarus, used to be cast near his gate, full of sores,
et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
21 and to long to be fed from the crumbs that fell from the table of the rich man: nay! even, the dogs, used to come and lick his sores.
cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
22 And it came to pass that the beggar died, and was carried away by the messengers, into the bosom of Abraham. And, the rich man also, died, and was buried.
factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives
23 And, in hades, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
et sepultus est in inferno elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius (Hadēs g86)
24 And, he, calling out, said—Father Abraham! have mercy upon me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, —because I am in anguish in this flame.
et ipse clamans dixit pater Abraham miserere mei et mitte Lazarum ut intinguat extremum digiti sui in aqua ut refrigeret linguam meam quia crucior in hac flamma
25 But Abraham said—Child! remember—That thou didst duly received thy good things in thy life, and, Lazarus, in like manner, the 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, besides all these things, betwixt us and you, a great chasm, hath been fixed, —so that, they who might wish to cross over from hence unto you, should not be able, nor any, from thence unto us, be crossing over.
et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chasma magnum firmatum est ut hii qui volunt hinc transire ad vos non possint neque inde huc transmeare
27 But he said—I request thee then, father, that thou wouldst send him unto 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 solemnly testify unto them, lest, they also, come into this place of torment.
habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum
29 But Abraham saith—They have Moses and the Prophets: Let them hearken unto them.
et ait illi Abraham habent Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
30 But, he, said—Nay! father Abraham, but, if one, from the dead, should go unto them, they would repent.
at ille dixit non pater Abraham sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos paenitentiam agent
31 But he said unto him—If, unto Moses and the Prophets, they do not hearken, neither, if one, from among the dead, should arise, would they be persuaded.
ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
