1耶稣又对门徒说:“有一个财主的管家,别人向他主人告他主人的财物。Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.
2主人叫他来,对他说:‘我听见你这事怎么样呢?把你所经管的明白,因你不能再作我的管家。’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.’
3那管家心里说:‘主人辞我,不用我再作管家,我将来做什么?呢?无力;讨饭呢?怕羞。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.
4我知道怎么行,好叫人在我不作管家之后,接我到他们家里去。’I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5于是把欠他主人债的,一个一个地叫了来,问头一个说:‘你欠我主人多少?’And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.
6他说:‘一百(每篓约五十斤)油。’管家说:‘拿你的帐,快坐下,写五十。’‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
7又问一个说:‘你欠多少?’他说:‘一百麦子。’管家说:‘拿你的帐,写八十。’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.
8主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事聪明;因为今世之子,在世事之上,较比更加聪明。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.
9我又告诉你们,要借着那不义的钱财结交朋友,到了钱财无用的时候,他们可以接你们到里去。I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10人在最小的事上忠心,在大事上也忠心;在最小的事上不义,在大事上也不义。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.
11倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心,谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?
12倘若你们在别人的东西上不忠心,谁还把你们自己的东西给你们呢?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?
13一个仆人不能事奉两个主;不是恶这个爱那个,就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又事奉 神,又事奉。”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.”
14法利赛人是贪爱钱财的;他们听见这一切话,就耶稣。The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.
15耶稣对他们说:“你们是在人面前自称为义的,你们的心, 神却知道;因为人所尊贵的,是 神看为的。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.
16律法和先知到为止,从此 神国的福音传开了,人人。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.
17天地废去较比律法的落空还容易。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.
18凡休妻另娶的就是犯奸淫;娶被休之妻的也是犯奸淫。”Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
19“有一个财主穿着和细麻布衣服,天天。Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.
20又有一个讨饭的,名叫,,被人放在财主门口,And a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores
21要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥;并且狗来舔他的疮。and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22后来那讨饭的死了,被天使带去放在。财主也死了,并且埋葬了。One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.
23他在受痛苦,举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕,又望见拉撒路在他怀里,In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.
24就喊着说:‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪,可怜我吧!打发拉撒路来,用指头尖蘸点水,我的舌头;因为我在这火焰里,极其痛苦。’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.’
25亚伯拉罕说:‘儿啊,你该回想你生前享过福,拉撒路也受过苦;如今他在这里得安慰,你倒受痛苦。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.
26不但这样,并且在你我之间,有,以致人要从这边过到你们那边是不能的;要从那边过到我们这边也是不能的。’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.’
27财主说:‘我祖啊!既是这样,求你打发拉撒路到我父家去;‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,
28因为我还有五个弟兄,他可以对他们作见证,免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’
29亚伯拉罕说:‘他们有的话可以听从。’But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’
30他说:‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪,不是的,若有一个从死里复活的,到他们那里去的,他们必要悔改。’‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31亚伯拉罕说:‘若不听从摩西和先知的话,就是有一个从死里复活的,他们也是不听劝。’”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.’”
