Luke 16
1 He was saying now also to the disciples (of him: *k*) A man certain there was rich who had a manager, and he was accused unto him as wasting the possessions of him.
And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 And having called him he said to him; What [is] this I hear concerning you? do give the account of the stewardship of you; not for (you are able *N(k)O*) any longer to manage.
And he called him, and said to him: What is this that I hear of you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer act as steward.
3 Said then within himself the manager; What shall I do, for the master of me is taking away the management from me? To dig not I am able, to beg I am ashamed.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes from me the stewardship. I have not strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
4 I know what I may do so that when I may have been removed (from *no*) the management they may receive me into the homes (of them. *NK(o)*)
I am resolved on what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, I may be received into their houses.
5 And having called to [him] one each of the debtors of the master his own he was saying to the first; How much owe you to the master of me?
And he called to him every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
6 (then *NK(o)*) he said; A hundred baths of oil. (then *N(k)O*) he said to him; do take your (the bills *N(k)O*) and having sat down soon do write fifty.
He replied, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take back your note, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then to another he said; You yourself now how much owe? And he said; A hundred cors of wheat. (and *k*) He says to him; do take your (bills *N(k)O*) and do write eighty.
Then he said to another, How much do you owe? He replied, A hundred homers of wheat. And he said to him, Take back your note, and write eighty.
8 And praised the master the manager unrighteous because shrewdly he had acted, For the sons of the age this more shrewd than the sons of the light in the generation their own are. (aiōn g165)
And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he acted prudently. For the children of this age are more prudent toward their generation than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 and I myself to you say; for yourselves do make friends by the wealth of unrighteousness, that when (it may fail *N(K)O*) they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you, Make for yourselves friends with the unrighteous riches, that when you fail, you may be received into the everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 The [one] faithful with very little also with much faithful is, and the [one] with very little unrighteous also with much unrighteous is.
He that is faithful in the least, is faithful also in much. He that is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore in the unrighteous wealth faithful not you have been, the true [riches] who to you will entrust?
If, therefore, you have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 And if in that which [is] of another faithful not you have been, that which ([is] yours *NK(O)*) who to you will give
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give to you that which is your own?
13 No servant is able to two masters to serve; either for the one he will hate and the other he will love, or to one he will be devoted and the other he will despise. Not you are able God to serve and money.
No servant can serve two masters; for he will either hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve God and riches.
14 Were listening to now these things all (and *k*) the Pharisees lovers of money being and they were ridiculing Him.
And the Pharisees also, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 And He said to them; You yourselves are those justifying themselves before men, but God knows the hearts of you for that which among men [is] exalted an abomination before God (is. *k*)
And he said to them: You set yourselves forth as righteous before men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men, is detestable in the sight of God.
16 The law and the prophets [were] (until *N(k)O*) John; from that time the kingdom of God is evangelised [about], and everyone into it forces his way.
The law and the prophets were till John. Since that time, the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it by force.
17 Easier for however it is the heaven and the earth to pass away than of the law one stroke of a pen to fail.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one point of the law to fail.
18 Everyone who is putting away the wife of him and marrying another commits adultery, And (everyone *k*) who separated her from a husband marrying commits adultery.
Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is divorced, commits adultery.
19 A man now certain there was rich and he was clothed in purple and fine linen making good cheer every day in splendor.
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and feasted sumptuously every day.
20 A poor man now certain (was *k*) named Lazarus (who *k*) had been laid at the gate of him full of sores
And there was a certain poor man named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores:
21 and desiring to be fed from (crumbs *KO*) that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs coming were licking the sores of him.
and he would gladly have been fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 It came to pass that then to die the poor man and to be carried away he by the angels into the bosom (*k*) of Abraham; Died then also the rich man and was buried.
And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and was carried by angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in Hades having lifted up the eyes of him, being in torment he sees (*k*) Abraham from afar and Lazarus in the bosom of him. (Hadēs g86)
and in hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 And he himself having cried out said; Father Abraham, do have mercy on me and do send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of the finger of him in water and may cool the tongue of mine, for I am suffering in flame this.
And he called to him 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.
25 Said then Abraham; Child, do remember that you did fully receive (you yourself *k*) the [things] good of you in the lifetime of you, and Lazarus likewise the [things] harmful. Now however (here *N(k)O*) he is comforted, you yourself now are suffering.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that, in your lifetime, you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus his evil things. But now he is comforted, and you are tormented.
26 And (besides *N(k)O*) all these things between us and you a chasm great has been fixed so that those desiring to pass (from here *N(k)O*) to you not may be able nor (those *k*) from there to us they shall pass.
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that they that would pass hence to you, can not; nor can they that would, pass thence to us.
27 He said then; I implore you then father, that you may send him to the house of the father of mine —
Then he said, I beseech you, therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;
28 I have for five brothers — so that he may warn to them that not also they themselves may come to place this of torment.
for I have five brothers; that he may earnestly admonish them, lest they also come to this place of torment.
29 Says (however *no*) (to him *ko*) Abraham; They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.
Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said; No, father Abraham, but if one from [the] dead shall go to them, they will repent.
But he said, Not so, Father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.
31 He said however to him; If to Moses and the prophets not they listen, (not even *N(k)O*) if one out from [the] dead shall rise will they be persuaded.
But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded, though one should rise from the dead.
