Young's Literal Translation
Jesus
also
said to
His disciples, “There
was
a rich
man whose
manager
was accused of
wasting
his possessions.
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;
So
he
called him in
to ask
, ‘
What is this I hear about you
? Turn
in
an
account of your
management
, for you
cannot
be
manager
any longer. ’
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
.
The manager
said to
himself, ‘
What shall I do, now
that
my master
is
taking
away my
position
? I
am
too
weak
to dig and
too
ashamed
to beg .
`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:
--
I know
what I will
do, so
that after
my
removal
from management
, people
will
welcome
me into
their homes
. ’
I have
known
what I shall
do, that ,
when
I
may
be
removed
from the
stewardship
, they
may
receive
me to
their houses
.
And he
called in
each one of his master’s
debtors .
‘
How much do
you
owe my master
? ’
he
asked
the
first.
`
And having
called near
each one of his lord's
debtors ,
he
said
to
the
first,
How much dost
thou
owe to
my lord
?
‘
A hundred measures
of olive
oil ,’
he answered.
‘
Take your
bill, ’
said
the
manager.
‘Sit
down
quickly,
and write fifty. ’
and
he
said,
A hundred baths
of oil ;
and
he said
to
him,
Take thy
bill, and having
sat
down
write fifty.
Then
he
asked
another, ‘
And how much do
you
owe? ’
‘
A hundred measures
of wheat ,’
he replied.
‘
Take your
bill and write eighty ,’
he
told
him
.
`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.
The master
commended the dishonest
manager
because
he had
acted
shrewdly.
For
the sons of this age are more shrewd
in
dealing
with
their
own
kind
than are
the sons of light.
`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
.
I tell
you, use
worldly
wealth
to
make friends
for
yourselves, so
that when it
is
gone
, they will
welcome
you into
eternal
dwellings
.
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
.
Whoever
is faithful with
very
little
will
also be
faithful with
much ,
and whoever
is dishonest
with
very
little
will
also be
dishonest
with
much .
`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 ;
So
if you
have
not been
faithful with
worldly
wealth,
who will entrust you with
true
riches
?
if ,
then,
in
the
unrighteous
mammon
ye
became
not faithful --
the
true
who will entrust to
you?
And if you
have
not been
faithful with
the
belongings
of
another
, who will
give you belongings
of
your
own
?
and if in
the
other's
ye
became
not faithful --
your
own
, who shall
give to
you?
No servant
can
serve two masters.
Either he will hate the
one
and love
the other ,
or he will be
devoted
to the
one
and despise
the other .
You
cannot
serve both
God and money
. ”
`
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
. '
The Pharisees, who
were
lovers of money, heard
all of
this
and were scoffing
at
Jesus.
And
also
the Pharisees, being
lovers of money, were
hearing
all these
things,
and were deriding
him,
So
He said to them, “You
are the
ones
who
justify
yourselves before men, but God knows
your hearts .
For
what
is
prized
among men is detestable
before God .
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 ;
The Law and the Prophets were
proclaimed
until
John .
Since that
time,
the
gospel
of
the kingdom
of God is being
preached
, and everyone
is
forcing
his
way
into it .
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 ;
But
it is easier for
heaven and earth to pass away than for
a
single
stroke
of a
pen
to
drop
out
of
the Law.
and
it is easier to
the
heaven and the
earth to pass away ,
than of the law one
tittle
to
fall
.
Anyone
who divorces
his wife and marries
another woman
commits
adultery
, and he
who marries
a divorced
woman
commits
adultery.
`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.
Now
there
was
a rich
man dressed
in purple and fine linen, who
lived
each
day in
joyous
splendor.
`And
--
a certain
man was
rich,
and
was
clothed
in purple and fine linen, making
merry
sumptuously
every
day ,
And a beggar
named
Lazarus lay
at his gate
, covered
with
sores
and there
was
a certain
poor
man,
by
name
Lazarus ,
who
was
laid
at his porch
, full
of
sores ,
and longing
to be fed
with
the crumbs that fell
from the rich
man’s
table .
Even
the dogs came
and
licked
his sores.
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.
One
day
the beggar
died and was carried by the angels
to Abraham’s
side.
And the rich man also died and was buried .
`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 ;
In Hades, where
he
was
in torment
, he looked
up
and
saw
Abraham from
afar, with
Lazarus by
his side.
and
in the
hades having
lifted
up
his
eyes
, being
in torments
, he doth
see
Abraham afar off
, and
Lazarus in
his bosom,
So
he
cried out
, ‘
Father Abraham, have
mercy
on
me and send Lazarus to
dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue .
For
I am in
agony
in this fire
. ’
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
.
But
Abraham answered
, ‘
Child, remember that during
your
lifetime
you
received
your
good things, while
Lazarus received
bad
things .
But
now he is comforted here
, while
you
are
in
agony.
`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;
And besides all this
, a
great
chasm
has
been
fixed
between us and you, so that even
those
who wish
cannot
cross
from
here
to you, nor can
anyone
cross
from there
to us. ’
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
.
‘Then
I beg
you
, father
, ’
he
said
, ‘
send Lazarus
to my
father’s
house,
`And
he
said,
I pray
thee
, then
, father
, that
thou
mayest
send him
to the
house of
my
father
,
for I have five brothers .
Let
him
warn
them
, so that they will
not
also end
up
in
this place of torment. ’
for I have five brothers, so that he
may
thoroughly
testify
to
them,
that
they also may
not
come
to
this place of torment.
But
Abraham replied
, ‘
They have Moses and the prophets ;
let your
brothers
listen
to
them .’
`
Abraham saith
to
him
, They have Moses and the prophets ,
let them hear
them;
‘
No, father Abraham, ’
he
said,
‘
but if someone
is
sent
to
them
from the dead, they will repent
. ’
and
he
said,
No, father Abraham, but if any
one
from the dead may
go
unto
them
, they will reform
.
Then
Abraham
said to him, ‘
If they
do
not
listen
to
Moses and the prophets ,
they will
not be
persuaded
even
if someone
rises
from
the dead. ’”
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
. '
