Lucam 16
1 dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 at ille dixit centum cados olei dixitque illi accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito scribe quinquaginta
He said, ‘One hundred batos [800 Gal; 3,028 L] of oil.’ ‘Take your note back,’ he told him. ‘Now, quickly! Sit down and write one for fifty [400 Gal; 1,514 L]!’
7 deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘One thousand bushels of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your note back and write one for eight hundred.’
8 et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt (aiōn g165)
“His lord commended the sinful ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of sinful ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· mammon ·wealth·, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 qui fidelis est in minimo et in maiori fidelis est et qui in modico iniquus est et in maiori iniquus est
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
If therefore you have not been faithful in the trecherous mammon ·wealth·, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 et si in alieno fideles non fuistis quod vestrum est quis dabit vobis
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 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
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and show agapao ·total devotion love· to the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and Mammon ·Wealth·.”
14 audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei qui erant avari et deridebant illum
The Pharisees [Separated], who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 et ait illis vos estis qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus Deus autem novit corda vestra quia quod hominibus altum est abominatio est ante Deum
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
The Torah ·Teaching· and the Prophets were until John [Yah is gracious]. Since then the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire quam de lege unum apicem cadere
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the Torah ·Teaching· become void.
18 omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another moicheuo ·commits adultery·. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband moicheuo ·commits adultery·.
19 homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
A certain beggar, named Lazarus [Help of God], was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 et sepultus est in inferno elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius (Hadēs g86)
In Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead·, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham [Father of a multitude] far off, and Lazarus [Help of God] at Abraham's bosom, (the righteous side of Sheol). (Hadēs g86)
24 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
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham [Father of a multitude], have mercy on me, and send Lazarus [Help of God], that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 et dixit illi Abraham fili recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua et Lazarus similiter mala nunc autem hic consolatur tu vero cruciaris
“But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus [Help of God], in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
26 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
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 et ait rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, Abba father, that you would send him to 'Avi ·my Father·’s house;
28 habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum
for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 et ait illi Abraham habent Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
“But Abraham [Father of a multitude] said to him, ‘They have Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 at ille dixit non pater Abraham sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos paenitentiam agent
“He said, ‘No, Abba father Abraham [Father of a multitude], but if one goes to them from the dead, they will make teshuvah ·complete repentance·.’
31 ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses [Drawn out] and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
