| [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; |
[1]And He told a parable to his disciples a man certain there was rich and there was to him a steward and they were consumed to him with accusing him that his wealth he was squandering |
| [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. |
[2]And summoned him his lord and said to him what is? this have heard I about you give to me an inventory ? of your stewardship not for can you from now steward be for me |
| [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: -- |
[3]Said that steward to himself what? shall I do for my lord has taken it from me ? the stewardship to dig not can I and to beg ashamed I am |
| [4]I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses. |
[4]I know what? I shall do that when I am put out from ? the stewardship they may receive me into their houses |
| [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? |
[5]And he called each one who owed his lord and he said to the first how much? owe you to my lord |
| [6]and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty. |
[6]He said to him a hundred baths of oil he said to him take your book and sit quickly write fifty baths |
| [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. |
[7]And he said to another and you what? owe you to my lord he said to him a hundred cors of wheat he said to him take your book and sit write eighty cors |
| [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. |
[8]And praised our Lord the steward who had done evil because wisely he had acted the children for of world this wiser are than the children of the light in their generation this |
| [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. |
[9]Also I saying am to you make for yourselves friends from Money this of evil that whenever it has been spent they may receive you into their dwellings eternal |
| [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; |
[10]Whoever with little is faithful also with much faithful is and whoever with little does evil also with much does evil he |
| [11]if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful -- the true who will entrust to you? |
[11]If therefore with the wealth of evil faithful not you are the reality to you who? will commit |
| [12]and if in the other's ye became not faithful -- your own, who shall give to you? |
[12]And if with what not is yours not you are found faithful yours who? will give to you |
| [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.' |
[13]There is not a servant who can two lords serve either for one he will hate and the other he will love or the one he will honor and the other he will neglect not can you serve to Alaha and Money |
| [14]And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him, |
[14][The] Pharisees but when they heard these things all because loving they were money mocking they were Him |
| [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; |
[15]Ieshu but said to them you are they who justify themselves before children of men Alaha but knows your hearts for the thing that is exalted among the children of men before Alaha disgusting is |
| [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; |
[16]The Law and The Prophets until Yokhanan from then the Kingdom of Alaha is announced everyone to it is pushing to enter it |
| [17]and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall. |
[17]Easier it is but that Heaven and earth would pass away than symbol one from the law should pass away |
| [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. |
[18]Everyone whoever divorces his wife and takes another commits adultery and everyone whoever that takes her that is divorced commits adultery |
| [19]`And -- a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day, |
[19]A man but certain rich there was and wore he fine white linen and purple and every day celebrated he luxuriously |
| [20]and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores, |
[20]And a poor man certain there was whose name Lazar and lay he at the gate of that rich man while being stricken with abscesses |
| [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. |
[21]And longed he to fill his belly from the fragments that fell from the table of that rich man but also dogs come would licking his abscesses |
| [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; |
[22]He but died that poor man and brought him angels to the bosom of Abraham also that but rich man died and he was buried |
| [23]and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, |
[23]And as he suffered in Sheol he lifted his eyes from far away and he saw Abraham and Lazar in his bosom |
| [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. |
[24]And he called in a voice loud and he said my father Abraham have pity on me and send Lazar to dip the tip of his finger in water and moisten for me my tongue for behold suffering I am in flame this |
| [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; |
[25]Said to him Abraham my son remember that you received your good things in your life and Lazar his evil things and now behold he is comforted here and you are suffering |
| [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. |
[26]And with these things all an abyss great stands between and you that those who would from here pass over to you not shall not be able and neither whoever is there to pass over to us |
| [27]`And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father, |
[27]He said to him therefore beg I of you my father to send him to the house of my father |
| [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. |
[28]Five for brothers are to me he should go to testify to them so that not also they should come to place this of torment |
| [29]`Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them; |
[29]Said to him Abraham there is to them Moses and the Prophets let them hear them |
| [30]and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform. |
[30]He but said to him no my father Abraham but if a man from the dead will go to them they will be converted |
| [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.' |
[31]Said to him Abraham if Moses and the Prophets not they hear also not if a man from the dead should arise they would believe him |
