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 unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer 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 in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and 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 know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me 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?
So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
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.
And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but 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, And how much owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
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 his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser 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 unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into 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 lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, 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 ye have not been faithful in the false 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 ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will give 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 either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
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 covetous, heard all these things; and derided 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 unto them, Ye justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination 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 continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
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.
Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle 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.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth 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.
Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly 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 poor man named Lazarus,
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.
who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
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 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 hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham from afar, 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 cried out and said, Father Abraham, have pity 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.
And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, and thou art 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 besides, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
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, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst 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 brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 Says (however *no*) (to him *ko*) Abraham; They have Moses and the prophets; they should listen to them.
Abraham answered 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.
and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will 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.
And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
