Luke 16 Kata Loukon 16
1Legate de kai pros toin ⸀mathētoin; Anthrōpos tinos ate plousios hos echate oikonomon, kai houtos diaballita auto hōs diaskorpizarōntos teim huparcharōnteim autou.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2kai fōnarantos auton legata auto; Tinem houtem akouamō peri su? apodōasar ton logon tau oikonomiau su, ouk gar ⸀dunosō ēti oikonomarō.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.’ 3legata de en heauto tos oikonomos; Tinem poiameia hoti tos kurios mu afairotō tan oikonomian apo mu? skaptarō ouk ischuamō, epaitarō aischunomō;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. 4gnōskama tinem poiameia, hina hotan metastēimeia ⸀ek tau oikonomiau decheleia min eis toin oikoin ⸀heautoiu.I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’ 5kai proskalerantos henon hekaston toiu chreofeiletoiu tou kuriou heautou legate to prōto; Posem ofeilasō to kurio mu?And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first. 6tos de legata; Hekaton batoin elaieu; ⸂tos de⸃ legata auto; Dechesar su ⸂teim grammeim⸃ kai kathizarantos tacheōs grafasar pentēkonta.‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’ 7epeita hetero legata; Sis de posem ofeilasō? tos de legata; Hekaton koroin sitou; ⸀legatō auto; Dechesar su ⸂teim grammeim⸃ kai grafasar ogdoēkonta.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. 8kai epainata tos kurios ton oikonomon tau adikiau hoti fronimōs poiata; hoti tois huiois tou aiōnou houtou fronimoterois huper toin huioin teu fōteu eis tan genean tan heautoiu alō.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. 9kai mis vi legamō, ⸂heautoi poiavar⸃ filoin ek tou mamōnou tau adikiau, hina hotan ⸀eklipateia decheleia vin eis tain aiōniain skēnain.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10Tos pistos en elachiste kai en polle pistos atō, kai tos en elachiste adikos kai en polle adikos atō.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. 11ei oun en to adiko mamōno pistois ouk geneva, tem alēthinem tinos vi pisteuati?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches? 12kai ei en te allotrie pistois ouk geneva, tem ⸀humeterem tinos ⸂dōati vi?⸃And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own? 13oudenos oiketos dunotō duo kurioi douleuarō; ē gar ton henon misati kai ton heteron agapati, ē henou antecheti kai tou heterou katafronati. ouk dunovō theo douleuarō kai mamōno.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.”
14Akouale de houteim ⸀panteim tois Farisaiois filargurois huparcharōntois, kai ekmuktērizale auton.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus. 15kai legata autoi; Vis avō tois dikaiarōntois heautoin enōpion toiu anthrōpoiu, tos de theos gnōskatō tain kardiain vu; hoti tem en anthrōpoi hupsēlem bdelugmem enōpion tou theou.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.
16Tos nomos kai tois profētois ⸀mechris Iōannou; apo tote tas basileias tou theou euangelizotō kai pantos eis autan biazotō.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. 17Eukopoterem de atō ton ouranon kai tan gēan parerchara ē tou nomou henan keraian piptara.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.
18Pantos tos apoluarōntos tan gunaikan autou kai gamarōntos heteran moicheuatō, ⸀kai tos apoluorēntan apo androu gamarōntos moicheuatō.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19Anthrōpos de tinos ate plousios, kai endiduskote porfuran kai bussan eufranorōntos kata hēmeran lamprōs.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor. 20ptōchos de ⸀tinos onome ⸀Lazaros balotelē pros ton pulōnon autou helkorēntosAnd a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores 21kai epithumarōntos chortazira ⸀apo teiu piptarōnteiu apo tau trapezau tou plousiou; alla kai tois kunois erchorōntois ⸀epileichale teim helkeim autou.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22geneta de apothnēskara ton ptōchon kai apoferira auton hupo toiu angeloiu eis ton kolpon Abraam; apothnēskata de kai tos plousios kai thaptita.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried. 23kai en to hado epararantos toin ofthalmoin autou, huparcharōntos en basanai, ⸀horatō Abraam apo makrothen kai Lazaron en toi kolpoi autou.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side. 24kai autos fōnarantos legata; Patror Abraam, elēasar min kai pempasar Lazaron hina baptateia tem akrem tou daktulou autou hudeu kai katapsuchateia tan glōssan mu, hoti odunomō en ta floga houta.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.’ 25legata de Abraam; Teknem, mimnēskisar hoti ⸀apolabasa teim agatheim su en ta zōa su, kai Lazaros homoiōs teim kakoseim; nun de hōde parakalotō sis de odunosō.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. 26kai ⸀en pantei houtei metaxu nu kai vu chasmem megem stērizotē, hopōs tois thelarōntois diabainara enthen pros vin mē dunoleiō, ⸀mēde ekeithen pros nin diaperaleiō.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.’ 27legata de; Erōtamō ⸂sin oun,⸃ patror, hina pempaseia auton eis ton oikon tou patrou mu,‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house, 28echamō gar pente adelfoin, hopōs diamarturoteiō autoi, hina mē kai autois erchaleia eis ton topon houton tau basanau.for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’ 29legatō ⸀de Abraam; Echalō Mōuson kai toin profētoin; akoualar autoiu.But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’ 30tos de legata; Ouchi, patror Abraam, alla ean tinos apo nekroiu poreuiteia pros autoin metanoali.‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31legata de auto; Ei Mōusou kai toiu profētoiu ouk akoualō, oude ean tinos ek nekroiu anastēateia peithili.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.’”
