Luke 16
1 And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
And he sayd also vnto his disciples. Ther was a certayne rych man which had a stewarde that was acused vnto him that he had wasted his goodes.
2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
And he called him and sayd vnto him: How is it that I heare this of the? Geve a comptes of thy steward shippe: For thou mayste be no longer stewarde.
3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.
The stewarde sayd wt in him selfe: what shall I do? for my master will take awaye fro me ye stewarde shippe. I canot digge and to begge I am ashamed.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
I woote what to do yt when I am put out of ye stewardshippe they maye receave me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord’s debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
Then called he all his masters detters and sayd vnto ye fyrst: how moche owest thou vnto my master?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
And he sayd: an hondred tonnes of oyle. And he sayd to him: take thy bill and syt doune quickly and wryte fiftie.
7 Then said he 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 eighty.
Then sayd he to another: what owest thou? And he sayde: an hondred quarters of wheate. He sayd to him: Take thy bill and write foure scoore.
8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
And the lorde comended the vniust stewarde because he had done wysly. For ye chyldren of this worlde are in their kynde wyser then ye chyldren of lyght. (aiōn g165)
9 And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends by the riches of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
And I saye also vnto you: make you frendes of the wicked mammon that when ye shall departe they may receave you into everlastinge habitacions. (aiōnios g166)
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
He that is faithfull in that which is leste ye same is faithfull in moche. And he yt is vnfaithfull in ye least: is vnfaithfull also in moche.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous riches, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
So then yf ye have not ben faithfull in ye wicked mamon? who will beleve you in that which is true?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
And yf ye have not bene faithfull in another manes busines: who shall geve you youre awne?
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and riches.
No servaunt can serve. ii. masters for other he shall hate ye one and love ye other or els he shall lene to the one and despyse the other. Ye can not serve God and mammon.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they mocked him.
All these thinges herde the pharises also which were coveteous and they mocked him.
15 And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
And he sayd vnto the: Ye are they which iustifie youre selves before me: but God knoweth youre hertes. For ye which is highlie estemed amoge me is abhominable in yt sight of god
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
The lawe and the Prophetes raygned vntyll the tyme of Iohn: and sence that tyme the kyngdom of God is preached and every man stryveth to goo in.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Soner shall heven and erth perisshe then one tytle of the lawe shall perisshe.
18 Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Whosoever forsaketh his wyfe and marieth another breaketh matrimony. And every man which marieth her that is devorsed from her husbande committeth advoutry also.
19 There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Ther was a certayne ryche man which was clothed in purple and fyne bysse and fared deliciously every daye.
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And ther was a certayne begger named Lazarus whiche laye at his gate full of soores
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
desyringe to be refresshed with the cromes whiche fell from the ryche manes borde. Neverthelesse the dogges came and licked his soores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And yt fortuned that the begger dyed and was caried by the angelles into Abrahas bosome. The riche man also died and was buried.
23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
And beinge in hell in tormetes he lyfte vp his eyes and sawe Abraham a farre of and Lazarus in his bosome (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 tormented in this flame.
and he cryed and sayd: father Abraham have mercy on me and sende Lazarus that he maye dippe the tippe of his fynger in water and cole my tonge: for I am tourmented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime didst receive thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
But Abraha sayd vnto him Sonne remembre that thou in thy lyfe tyme receavedst thy pleasure and contrary wyse Lazarus payne. Now therfore is he comforted and thou art punysshed.
26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from there.
Beyonde all this bitwene you and vs ther is a greate space set so that they which wolde goo from thence to you cannot: nether maye come from thence to vs.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:
Then he sayd: I praye the therfore father send him to my fathers housse.
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
For I have fyve brethren: for to warne the left they also come into this place of tourmet.
29 Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Abraha sayd vnto him: they have Moses and the Prophetes let them heare them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
And he sayd: naye father Abraham but yf one came vnto the from the ded they wolde repent.
31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
He sayd vnto him: If they heare not Moses and ye prophetes nether will they beleve though one roose from deeth agayne.
