Luke - douay rheims

Chapter 16

¹ AND he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.
² And he called him, and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.
³ And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.
⁴ I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
⁵ Therefore calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
⁶ But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
⁷ Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill, and write eighty.
⁸ And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.
⁹ And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity; that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.
¹⁰ He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.
¹¹ If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
¹² And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's; who will give you that which is your own?
¹³ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
¹⁴ Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
¹⁵ And he said to them: You are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts; for that which is high to men, is an abomination before God.
¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
¹⁷ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
¹⁸ Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband, commmitteth adultery.
¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
²⁰ And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
²¹ Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores.
²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.
²³ And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
²⁴ And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.
²⁵ And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
²⁷ And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I have five brethren,
²⁸ That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
²⁹ And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
³⁰ But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
³¹ And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.

¹ And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.
² And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward.
³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg.
⁴ I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
⁵ So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
⁸ And 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.
⁹ And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
¹⁰ He 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.
¹¹ If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
¹² And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who will give you that which is your own?
¹³ No 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.
¹⁴ And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him.
¹⁵ And he said to them, Ye are they who justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
¹⁷ And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
¹⁸ Whoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adultery.
¹⁹ There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
²⁰ And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate, full of sores,
²¹ And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores.
²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried:
²³ And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
²⁴ And 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.
²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
²⁸ For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
²⁹ Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.
³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one shall rise from the dead.

Chapter 16

¹ 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 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 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 know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
⁵ each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
⁶ said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
⁷ he said to another, 'How much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred cors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
⁸ lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.
⁹ tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
¹⁰ 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 therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
¹² you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
¹³ servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren't able to serve God and mammon."
¹⁴ Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
¹⁵ 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 law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
¹⁷ it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
¹⁸ who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
¹⁹ there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
²⁰ certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
²¹ 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 happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.
²³ Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
²⁴ 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 in anguish in this flame.'
²⁵ Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.
²⁶ 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 none may cross over from there to us.'
²⁷ said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
²⁸ I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
²⁹ Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.'
³⁰ said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
³¹ said to him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"

Chapter 16

¹ And he said also to [his] disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and *he* was accused to him as wasting his goods.
² And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
⁴ I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.
⁵ And having called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.
⁷ Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing and write eighty.
⁸ And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light.
⁹ And *I* say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles.
¹⁰ He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.
¹¹ If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?
¹² and if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who shall give to you your own?
¹³ No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
¹⁴ And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things, and mocked him.
¹⁵ And he said to them, *Ye* are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.
¹⁶ The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.
¹⁷ But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.
¹⁸ Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.
¹⁹ Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.
²⁰ And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,
²¹ and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.
²² And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.
²³ And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
²⁴ And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.
²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering.
²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.
²⁷ And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,
²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
²⁹ But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.
³⁰ But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.
³¹ And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.

² And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship; for thou canst be no longer steward.
³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? I have not strength to dig; to beg I am ashamed.
⁴ I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
⁵ And calling to him each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.
⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He saith unto him, Take thy bond, and write fourscore.
⁸ And his lord commended the unrighteous steward because he had done wisely: for the sons of this world are for their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.
⁹ And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.
¹⁰ He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much: and he that is unrighteous in a very little is unrighteous also in much.
¹¹ If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true [riches]?
¹² And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
¹³ No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

²⁰ and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,
²¹ and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores.
²² And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted and thou art in anguish.
²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.
²⁷ And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house;

Chapter 16

¹ And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.
² And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.
³ And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.
⁴ I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.
⁵ And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord?
⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty.
⁷ Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.
⁸ And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light.
⁹ And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.
¹⁰ He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great.
¹¹ If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth?
¹² And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours?
¹³ No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.
¹⁴ And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him.
¹⁵ And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.
¹⁶ The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.
¹⁷ But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.
¹⁸ Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her.
¹⁹ Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day.
²⁰ And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,
²¹ Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds.
²² And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.
²³ And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.
²⁴ And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.
²⁵ But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain.
²⁶ And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.
²⁷ And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;
²⁸ For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.
²⁹ But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.
³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.
³¹ And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.
