Luke 16
1 And he said also unto his disciples, 'A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering 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 having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be 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 in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, 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 have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
5 'And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to 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 to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.
At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
7 'Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
8 'And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation. (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 to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during 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 who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous 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, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful — the true who will entrust to you?
Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis: quod verum est, quis credet vobis?
12 and if in the other's ye became not faithful — your own, who shall give to you?
Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis: quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis?
13 'No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to 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 also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,
Audiebant autem omnia hæc Pharisæi, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum.
15 and he said to them, 'Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] 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 [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;
Lex, et prophetæ usque ad Ioannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
17 and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall.
Facilius est autem cælum, et terram præterire, quam de Lege unum apicem cadere.
18 'Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.
Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam, et alteram ducit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.
19 'And — a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,
Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura, et bysso: et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
20 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui iacebat ad ianuam eius, ulceribus plenus,
21 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking 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 poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to 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 Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives,
23 and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see 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 having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed 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 'And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;
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, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.
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, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,
Et ait: Rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei.
28 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
Habeo enim quinque fratres, ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
29 'Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;
Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen, et prophetas: audiant illos.
30 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.
At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.
31 And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'
Ait autem illi: Si Moysen, et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
