- He 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.
- He 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.'
- "The 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.
- I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.'
- Calling each one of his lord's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my lord?'
- He said, 'A hundred batos of oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
- Then 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.'
- "His 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.
- I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.
- He 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.
- If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
- If you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
- 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. You aren't able to serve God and mammon."
- The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
- He 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.
- The 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.
- But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
- Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
- "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
- A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
- and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
- It 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.
- In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.
- 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 in anguish in this flame.'
- "But 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.
- Besides 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.'
- "He said, 'I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house;
- for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won't also come into this place of torment.'
- "But Abraham said to him, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.'
- "He said, 'No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
- "He said to him, 'If they don't listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.'"

- ויאמר גם אל תלמידיו איש עשיר היה ולו פקיד על ביתו וילשינהו אליו באמרם כי מפזר הוא את קניניך׃
- ויקרא אתו ויאמר אליו מה זאת שמעתי עליך תן חשבון פקדתך כי לא תוכל להיות עוד פקיד׃
- ויאמר הפקיד בלבו מה אעשה כי יקח אדני ממני את הפקדה לעדר לא אוכל ולשאל על הפתחים אני בוש׃
- ידעתי מה אעשה למען יאספוני אל בתיהם בעת אוסר מפקדתי׃
- ויקרא אל כל איש אשר נשה בהם אדניו וישאל את הראשון כמה אתה חיב לאדני׃
- ויאמר מאת בתי שמן ויאמר אליו קח את שטרך ומהר שב וכתבת חמשים׃
- ואל אחר אמר כמה אתה חיב ויאמר מאת כר חטים ויאמר קח את שטרך וכתב שמנים׃
- וישבח האדון את פקיד העולה על אשר הערים לעשות כי בני העולם הזה ערומים הם בדורם מבני האור׃
- וגם אני אמר לכם עשו לכם אהבים בממון העולה למען בעת כלתו יאספו אתכם אל משכנות עולם׃
- הנאמן במעט מזער נאמן גם בהרבה והמעול במעט מזער מעול גם בהרבה׃
- לכן אם בממון העולה לא הייתם נאמנים את האמתי מי יפקיד בידכם׃
- ואם בדבר אשר לאחרים לא הייתם נאמנים את אשר לכם מי יתן לכם׃
- אין עבד אשר יוכל לעבד שני אדנים כי ישנא את האחד ויאהב את האחר או ידבק באחד ואת האחר יבזה לא תוכלו עבד את האלהים ואת הממון׃
- וישמעו כל זאת גם הפרושים אשר הם אהבי כסף וילעגו לו׃
- ויאמר אליהם אתם הם המצטדקים לפני האדם ואלהים יודע את לבבכם כי הגבה באדם תועבה הוא לפני האלהים׃
- התורה והנביאים עד יוחנן ומן אז והלאה בשורת מלכות האלהים וכל איש בחזקה יבוא בה׃
- אבל נקל כי יעברו השמים והארץ מאשר יפל קוץ אחד מן התורה׃
- כל איש המשלח את אשתו ולקח אחרת נאף הוא וכל הלקח את הגרושה מאישה נאף הוא׃
- איש עשיר היה והוא לבוש ארגמן ושש ויתעגג וישמח יום יום׃
- ואיש אביון ושמו לעזר משכב פתח שער ביתו והוא מלא אבעבעות׃
- ויתאו לשבע מן הפרורים הנפלים מעל שלחן העשיר וגם הכלבים באו וילקו אבעבעותיו׃
- ויהי כאשר מת האביון ויובל על ידי המלאכים אל חיק אברהם וימת גם העשיר ויקבר׃
- ובהיותו במכאבות בשאול וישא את עיניו וירא את אברהם מרחוק ואת לעזר בחיקו׃
- ויצעק ויאמר אבי אברהם חנני ושלח נא את לעזר ויטבל את קצה אצבעו במים למען קרר את לשוני כי עניתי במוקד הזה׃
- ויאמר אברהם בני זכר כי לקחת טובך בחייך וגם לעזר לקח את הרעות ועתה הוא ינחם ואתה תצטער׃
- ומלבד כל זאת שוחה גדולה מפסקת בינינו וביניכם לבלתי יוכלו עבור החפצים ללכת מפה אליכם ולבלתי יעברו משם אלינו׃
- ויאמר אם כן אבי שאל אני מאתך כי תשלח אתו אל בית אבי׃
- כי יש לי חמשה אחים למען יעיד בהם פן יבאו גם הם אל מקום המעצבה הזה׃
- ויאמר אברהם יש להם משה והנביאים אליהם ישמעון׃
- ויאמר לא כן אבי אברהם אך אם ילך אליהם אחד מן המתים אז ישובו׃
- ויאמר אליו אם לא ישמעו אל משה ואל הנביאים גם כי יקום אחד מן המתים לא יאמינו׃

| Luke 16 Text (Latin)
|
- Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos : Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum : et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.
- Et vocavit illum, et ait illi : Quid hoc audio de te ? redde rationem villicationis tuæ : jam enim non poteris villicare.
- Ait autem villicus intra se : Quid faciam ? quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem. Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco.
- Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.
- Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo : Quantum debes domino meo ?
- At ille dixit : Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi : Accipe cautionem tuam : et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.
- Deinde alii dixit : Tu vero quantum debes ? Qui ait : Centum coros tritici. Ait illi : Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.
- Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset : quia filii hujus sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt.
- Et ego vobis dico : facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis : ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula.
- Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in majori fidelis est : et qui in modico iniquus est, et in majori iniquus est.
- Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis ?
- Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis ?
- Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget : aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ.
- Audiebant autem omnia hæc pharisæi, qui erant avari : et deridebant illum.
- Et ait illis : Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus : Deus autem novit corda vestra : quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.
- Lex et prophetæ usque ad Joannem : ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.
- Facilius est autem cælum et terram præterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere.
- Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, mœchatur : et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.
- Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide.
- Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus,
- cupiens saturari de micis quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat : sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus.
- Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno.
- Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus :
- et ipse clamans dixit : Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.
- Et dixit illi Abraham : Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala : nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris :
- et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est : ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.
- Et ait : Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei :
- habeo enim quinque fratres : ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.
- Et ait illi Abraham : Habent Moysen et prophetas : audiant illos.
- At ille dixit : Non, pater Abraham : sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.
- Ait autem illi : Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.

| Luke 16 Text (KJV)
|
- And 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.
- And 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.
- Then 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.
- I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
- So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
- And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
- Then 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.
- 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.
- And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
- 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.
- If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
- And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
- 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.
- And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
- And 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.
- The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
- And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
- Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
- There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
- And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
- And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
- And 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;
- And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
- 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.
- But 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.
- And 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.
- Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
- For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
- Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
- And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
- And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
