- 1And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.Ἔλεγεν δὲ καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ⸀μαθητάς Ἄνθρωπός ἦν πλούσιος ὃς εἶχεν οἰκονόμον καὶ οὗτος διεβλήθη αὐτῷ ὡς διασκορπίζων τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ
- 2And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.καὶ φωνήσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν αὐτῷ Τί τοῦτο ἀκούω περὶ σοῦ ἀπόδος τὸν λόγον τῆς οἰκονομίας σου οὐ γὰρ ⸀δύνῃ ἔτι οἰκονομεῖν
- 3Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.εἶπεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὁ οἰκονόμος Τί ποιήσω ὅτι ὁ κύριός μου ἀφαιρεῖται τὴν οἰκονομίαν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ σκάπτειν οὐκ ἰσχύω ἐπαιτεῖν αἰσχύνομαι
- 4I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.ἔγνων τί ποιήσω ἵνα ὅταν μετασταθῶ ⸀ἐκ τῆς οἰκονομίας δέξωνταί με εἰς τοὺς οἴκους ⸀ἑαυτῶν
- 5So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος ἕνα ἕκαστον τῶν τοῦ κυρίου ἑαυτοῦ ἔλεγεν τῷ πρώτῳ Πόσον ὀφείλεις τῷ κυρίῳ μου
- 6And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἑκατὸν βάτους ἐλαίου ⸂ὁ δὲ⸃ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Δέξαι σου ⸂τὰ γράμματα⸃ καὶ καθίσας ταχέως γράψον πεντήκοντα
- 7Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.ἔπειτα ἑτέρῳ εἶπεν Σὺ δὲ πόσον ὀφείλεις ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἑκατὸν κόρους σίτου ⸀λέγει αὐτῷ Δέξαι σου ⸂τὰ γράμματα⸃ καὶ γράψον ὀγδοήκοντα
- 8And 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.καὶ ἐπῄνεσεν ὁ κύριος τὸν οἰκονόμον τῆς ἀδικίας ὅτι φρονίμως ἐποίησεν ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου φρονιμώτεροι ὑπὲρ τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ φωτὸς εἰς τὴν γενεὰν τὴν ἑαυτῶν εἰσιν
- 9And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.καὶ ἐγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω ⸂ἑαυτοῖς ποιήσατε⸃ φίλους ἐκ τοῦ τῆς ἀδικίας ἵνα ὅταν ⸀ἐκλίπῃ δέξωνται ὑμᾶς εἰς τὰς αἰωνίους σκηνάς
- 10He 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.Ὁ πιστὸς ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ καὶ ἐν πολλῷ πιστός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ἐν ἐλαχίστῳ ἄδικος καὶ ἐν πολλῷ ἄδικός ἐστιν
- 11If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?εἰ οὖν ἐν τῷ ἀδίκῳ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε τὸ ἀληθινὸν τίς ὑμῖν πιστεύσει
- 12And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?καὶ εἰ ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ πιστοὶ οὐκ ἐγένεσθε τὸ ⸀ὑμέτερον τίς ⸂δώσει ὑμῖν⸃
- 13No 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 mammon.οὐδεὶς οἰκέτης δύναται δυσὶ κυρίοις δουλεύειν ἢ γὰρ τὸν ἕνα μισήσει καὶ τὸν ἕτερον ἀγαπήσει ἢ ἑνὸς ἀνθέξεται καὶ τοῦ ἑτέρου καταφρονήσει οὐ δύνασθε θεῷ δουλεύειν καὶ
- 14And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.Ἤκουον δὲ ταῦτα ⸀πάντα οἱ Φαρισαῖοι φιλάργυροι ὑπάρχοντες καὶ ἐξεμυκτήριζον αὐτόν
- 15And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὑμεῖς ἐστε οἱ δικαιοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὁ δὲ θεὸς γινώσκει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν ὅτι τὸ ἐν ἀνθρώποις ὑψηλὸν βδέλυγμα ἐνώπιον τοῦ θεοῦ
- 16The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.Ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται Ἰωάννου ἀπὸ τότε ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ εὐαγγελίζεται καὶ πᾶς εἰς αὐτὴν βιάζεται
- 17And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.Εὐκοπώτερον δέ ἐστιν τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν παρελθεῖν ἢ τοῦ νόμου μίαν κεραίαν πεσεῖν
- 18Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.Πᾶς ὁ ἀπολύων τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ καὶ γαμῶν ἑτέραν μοιχεύει ⸀καὶ ὁ ἀπολελυμένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς γαμῶν μοιχεύει
- 19There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:Ἄνθρωπος δέ ἦν πλούσιος καὶ ἐνεδιδύσκετο πορφύραν καὶ βύσσον εὐφραινόμενος καθ’ ἡμέραν λαμπρῶς
- 20And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,πτωχὸς δέ ὀνόματι ⸀Λάζαρος ἐβέβλητο πρὸς τὸν πυλῶνα αὐτοῦ
- 21And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.καὶ ἐπιθυμῶν χορτασθῆναι ⸀ἀπὸ τῶν πιπτόντων ἀπὸ τῆς τραπέζης τοῦ πλουσίου ἀλλὰ καὶ οἱ κύνες ἐρχόμενοι τὰ ἕλκη αὐτοῦ
- 22And 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;ἐγένετο δὲ τὸν πτωχὸν καὶ ἀπενεχθῆναι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἰς τὸν κόλπον Ἀβραάμ δὲ καὶ ὁ πλούσιος καὶ ἐτάφη
- 23And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.καὶ ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ ἐπάρας τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων ἐν βασάνοις ⸀ὁρᾷ Ἀβραὰμ ἀπὸ μακρόθεν καὶ Λάζαρον ἐν τοῖς κόλποις αὐτοῦ
- 24And 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.καὶ αὐτὸς φωνήσας εἶπεν Πάτερ Ἀβραάμ με καὶ πέμψον Λάζαρον ἵνα βάψῃ τὸ ἄκρον τοῦ δακτύλου αὐτοῦ ὕδατος καὶ καταψύξῃ τὴν γλῶσσάν μου ὅτι ἐν τῇ φλογὶ ταύτῃ
- 25But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.εἶπεν δὲ Ἀβραάμ Τέκνον ὅτι ⸀ἀπέλαβες τὰ ἀγαθά σου ἐν τῇ ζωῇ σου καὶ Λάζαρος ὁμοίως τὰ κακά νῦν δὲ ὧδε παρακαλεῖται σὺ δὲ
- 26And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.καὶ ⸀ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις μεταξὺ ἡμῶν καὶ ὑμῶν χάσμα μέγα ἐστήρικται ὅπως οἱ θέλοντες διαβῆναι πρὸς ὑμᾶς μὴ δύνωνται ⸀μηδὲ ἐκεῖθεν πρὸς ἡμᾶς διαπερῶσιν
- 27Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:εἶπεν δέ Ἐρωτῶ ⸂σε οὖν⸃ πάτερ ἵνα πέμψῃς αὐτὸν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου
- 28For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.ἔχω γὰρ πέντε ἀδελφούς ὅπως διαμαρτύρηται αὐτοῖς ἵνα μὴ καὶ αὐτοὶ ἔλθωσιν εἰς τὸν τόπον τοῦτον τῆς βασάνου
- 29Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.λέγει ⸀δὲ Ἀβραάμ Ἔχουσι καὶ τοὺς προφήτας ἀκουσάτωσαν αὐτῶν
- 30And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Οὐχί πάτερ Ἀβραάμ ἀλλ’ ἐάν ἀπὸ νεκρῶν πορευθῇ πρὸς αὐτοὺς μετανοήσουσιν
- 31And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Εἰ καὶ τῶν προφητῶν οὐκ ἀκούουσιν οὐδ’ ἐάν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῇ πεισθήσονται
