Lucas 16
1 Sinabi rin ni Jesus sa mga alagad, “May isang mayamang lalaki na may tagapamahala, at isinumbong sa kaniya na nilulustay ng tagapamahalang ito ang kaniyang pag-aari.
And he also said to his disciples: “A certain man was wealthy, and he had a steward of his estate. And this man was accused to him of having dissipated his goods.
2 Kaya pinatawag siya ng mayamang lalaki at sinabi sa kaniya, 'Ano itong naririnig ko tungkol sa iyo? Magbigay-ulat ka ng iyong pamamahala, dahil ka na maaaring maging tagapamahala.'
And he called him and said to him: ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship. For you can no longer be my steward.’
3 Sinabi ng tagapamahala sa kaniyang sarili, 'Anong gagawin ko, dahil aalisin sa akin ng amo ko ang pagiging tagapamahala? Wala akong lakas na magbungkal, at nahihiya akong magpalimos.
And the steward said within himself: ‘What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I am not strong enough to dig. I am too ashamed to beg.
4 Alam ko na ang aking gagawin, para kapag natanggal ako sa pagiging tagapamahala, malugod akong tatanggapin ng mga tao sa kanilang mga bahay.'
I know what I will do so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 At tinawag ng tagapamahala ang mga tao na may utang sa kaniyang amo, at tinanong niya ang una, 'Magkano ang utang mo sa amo ko?'
And so, calling together each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my lord?’
6 Sinabi niya, 'Isang daang takal na langis ng olibo'. At sinabi niya sa kaniya, 'Kunin mo ang iyong kasulatan, umupo kang madali at isulat mong limampu.'
So he said, ‘One hundred jars of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your invoice, and quickly, sit down and write fifty.’
7 At sinabi ng tagapamahala sa isa pa, 'Magkano ang utang mo?' Sumagot siya, 'Isang daang takal ng trigo.' Sinabi niya sa kaniya, 'Kunin mo ang iyong kasulatan at isulat mong walumpu.'
Next, he said to another, ‘In truth, how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your record books, and write eighty.’
8 At pinuri ng amo ang hindi makatarungang tagapamahala dahil kumilos siya nang may katusuhan. Sapagkat ang mga anak ng mundong ito ay mas tuso sa pakikitungo sa kanilang sariling tao kaysa mga anak ng liwanag. (aiōn g165)
And the lord praised the iniquitous steward, in that he had acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent with their generation than are the sons of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, makipagkaibigan kayo sa pamamagitan ng perang hindi makatarungan, para kapag ito ay naubos na, maaari ka nilang tanggapin sa walang hanggang tirahan. (aiōnios g166)
And so I say to you, make friends for yourself using iniquitous mammon, so that, when you will have passed away, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Ang tapat sa kakaunti ay tapat din sa marami, at ang hindi makatarungan sa kakaunti ay hindi rin makatarungan sa marami.
Whoever is faithful in what is least, is also faithful in what is greater. And whoever is unjust in what is small, is also unjust in what is greater.
11 Kung hindi ka naging tapat sa paggamit ng perang hindi makatarungan, sino ang magtitiwala sa iyo ng tunay na kayamanan?
So then, if you have not been faithful with iniquitous mammon, who will trust you with what is true?
12 At kung hindi ka naging tapat sa paggamit sa pera ng ibang tao, sino ang magbibigay sa iyo ng sarili mong pera?
And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours?
13 Walang lingkod ang magkapaglilingkod sa dalawang amo, sapagkat kasusuklaman niya ang isa at mamahalin niya ang isa, o magiging tapat siya sa isa at kamumuhian niya ang isa. Hindi ninyo maaaring paglingkuran ang Diyos at ang kayamanan.”
No servant is able to serve two lords. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
14 Ngayon ang mga Pariseo, na mangingibig ng pera, ay narinig ang lahat ng mga ito, at siya ay kanilang kinutya.
But the Pharisees, who were greedy, were listening to all these things. And they ridiculed him.
15 At sinabi niya sa kanila, “Pinapawalang-sala ninyo ang inyong mga sarili sa paningin ng mga tao, ngunit nalalaman ng Diyos ang inyong mga puso. Ang siya na dinadakila ng mga tao ay kasuklam-suklam sa paningin ng Diyos.
And he said to them: “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of men. But God knows your hearts. For what is lifted up by men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Ang kautusan at ang mga propeta ang umiiral hanggang sa dumating si Juan. Mula noon, ipinangaral ang ebanghelyo ng kaharian ng Diyos, at ang lahat ay sinusubukang pumasok nang pilit doon.
The law and the prophets were until John. Since then, the kingdom of God is being evangelized, and everyone acts with violence toward it.
17 Ngunit mas madaling maglaho ang langit at lupa kaysa mawalan ng bisa ang isang kudlit ng isang letra ng kautusan.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fall away.
18 Ang bawat taong hinihiwalayan ang kaniyang asawang babae at mag-asawa ng iba ay gumagawa ng pangangalunya, at ang mag-asawa sa babaing hiwalay sa kaniyang asawa ay magkakasala ng pangangalunya.
Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And whoever marries her who has been divorced by her husband commits adultery.
19 Ngayon, may isang mayamang lalaki na nakadamit ng kulay lila na gawa sa pinong lino, at araw-araw nagsasaya sa kaniyang labis na kayamanan.
A certain man was wealthy, and he was clothed in purple and in fine linen. And he feasted splendidly every day.
20 May isang pulubi na nagngangalang Lazarus na pinahiga sa kaniyang tarangkahan na lipos ng sugat,
And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, covered with sores,
21 at inaasam-asam niyang kainin ang nahuhulog sa mesa ng mayamang tao—at maliban doon, lumapit ang mga aso at dinilaan ang kaniyang mga sugat.
wanting to be filled with the crumbs which were falling from the wealthy man’s table. But no one gave it to him. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 At nangyari na namatay ang pulubi at dinala ng mga anghel sa kinaroroonan ni Abraham. Namatay din ang mayamang tao at inilibing,
Then it happened that the beggar died, and he was carried by the Angels into the bosom of Abraham. Now the wealthy man also died, and he was entombed,
23 at doon sa hades, sa kaniyang pagdurusa, tumingala siya at nakita si Abraham sa malayo at si Lazarus na nasa tabi niya. (Hadēs g86)
in Hell. Then lifting up his eyes, while he was in torments, he saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 At sumigaw siya at sinabi, 'Amang Abraham, maawa ka sa akin at papuntahin mo si Lazarus, upang isawsaw niya ang dulo ng kaniyang daliri sa tubig at palamigin ang aking dila, dahil naghihirap ako sa apoy na ito.'
And crying out, he said: ‘Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to refresh my tongue. For I am tortured in this fire.’
25 Ngunit sinabi ni Abraham, 'Anak, alalahanin mo na sa buong buhay mo, natanggap mo ang mga magagandang bagay, at si Lazaro sa ganoon ding paraan ay masasamang bagay. Ngunit ngayon, siya ay inaaliw dito, at ikaw ay nagdurusa.
And Abraham said to him: ‘Son, recall that you received good things in your life, and in comparison, Lazarus received bad things. But now he is consoled, and truly you are tormented.
26 At maliban sa lahat ng ito, may malaking bangin na nakalagay upang ang mga gustong tumawid mula rito papunta sa iyo ay hindi makakatawid, at wala ring makakatawid mula riyan papunta sa amin.'
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been established, so that those who might want to cross from here to you are not able, nor can someone cross from there to here.’
27 At sinabi ng mayamang tao, 'Nagmamakaawa ako, Amang Abraham, na papuntahin mo siya sa bahay ng aking ama—
And he said: ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,
28 sapagkat ako ay may limang kapatid na lalake—upang balaan niya sila, dahil baka pumunta rin sila sa lugar na ito ng pagdurusa.'
so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torments.’
29 Ngunit sinabi ni Abraham, 'Nasa kanila si Moises at mga propeta; makinig sila sa kanila.'
And Abraham said to him: ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 Sumagot ang mayamang tao, 'Hindi, Amang Abraham, ngunit kung may pumunta sa kanila mula sa mga patay, magsisisi sila.'
So he said: ‘No, father Abraham. But if someone were to go to them from the dead, they would repent.’
31 Ngunit sinabi ni Abraham sa kaniya, 'Kung hindi sila makikinig kay Moises at sa mga propeta, hindi rin sila mahihikayat kung may mabuhay mula sa mga patay.”. /.
But he said to him: ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe even if someone has resurrected from the dead.’”
