16:1

Ελεγεν δε και προς τους μαθητας Ανθρωπος τις ην πλουσιος ος ειχεν οικονομον και ουτος διεβληθη αυτω ως διασκορπιζων τα υπαρχοντα αυτου

And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods.

16:2

και φωνησας αυτον ειπεν αυτω Τι τουτο ακουω περι σου αποδος τον λογον της οικονομιας σου ου γαρ δυνη ετι οικονομειν

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.

16:3

Ειπεν δε εν εαυτω ο οικονομος Τι ποιησω οτι ο κυριος μου αφαιρειται την οικονομιαν απ εμου σκαπτειν ουκ ισχυω επαιτειν αισχυνομαι

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.

16:4

εγνων τι ποιησω ινα οταν μετασταθω εκ της οικονομιας δεξωνται με εις τους οικους αυτων

I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

16:5

Και προσκαλεσαμενος ενα εκαστον των χρεοφειλετων του κυριου εαυτου ελεγεν τω πρωτω Ποσον οφειλεις τω κυριω μου

And calling to him each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

16:6

Ο δε ειπεν Εκατον βατους ελαιου Ο δε ειπεν αυτω Δεξαι σου τα γραμματα και καθισας ταχεως γραψον πεντηκοντα

And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.

16:7

Επειτα ετερω ειπεν Συ δε ποσον οφειλεις Ο δε ειπεν Εκατον κορους σιτου Λεγει αυτω Δεξαι σου τα γραμματα και γραψον ογδοηκοντα

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.

16:8

Και επηνεσεν ο κυριος τον οικονομον της αδικιας οτι φρονιμως εποιησεν οτι οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου φρονιμωτεροι υπερ τους υιους του φωτος εις την γενεαν την εαυτων εισιν

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.

16:9

Και εγω υμιν λεγω εαυτοις ποιησατε φιλους εκ του μαμωνα της αδικιας ινα οταν εκλιπη δεξωνται υμας εις τας αιωνιους σκηνας

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.

16:10

Ο πιστος εν ελαχιστω και εν πολλω πιστος εστιν και ο εν ελαχιστω αδικος και εν πολλω αδικος εστιν

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.

16:11

ει ουν εν τω αδικω μαμωνα πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το αληθινον τις υμιν πιστευσει

If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

16:12

και ει εν τω αλλοτριω πιστοι ουκ εγενεσθε το υμετερον τις υμιν δωσει

And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

16:13

Ουδεις οικετης δυναται δυσι κυριοις δουλευειν η γαρ τον ενα μισησει και τον ετερον αγαπησει η ενος ανθεξεται και του ετερου καταφρονησει ου δυνασθε Θεω δουλευειν και μαμωνα

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.

16:14

Ηκουον δε ταυτα παντα οι Φαρισαιοι φιλαργυροι υπαρχοντες και εξεμυκτηριζον αυτον

And the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things; and they scoffed at him.

16:15

και ειπεν αυτοις Υμεις εστε οι δικαιουντες εαυτους ενωπιον των ανθρωπων ο δε Θεος γινωσκει τας καρδιας υμων οτι το εν ανθρωποις υψηλον βδελυγμα ενωπιον του Θεου

And he said unto them, Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

16:16

Ο νομος και οι προφηται μεχρι Ιωαννου απο τοτε η βασιλεια του Θεου ευαγγελιζεται και πας εις αυτην βιαζεται

The law and the prophets were until John: from that time the gospel of the kingdom of God is preached, and every man entereth violently into it.

16:17

ευκοπωτερον δε εστιν τον ουρανον και την γην παρελθειν η του νομου μιαν κεραιαν πεσειν

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fall.

16:18

Πας ο απολυων την γυναικα αυτου και γαμων ετεραν μοιχευει και ο απολελυμενην απο ανδρος γαμων μοιχευει

Every one that putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery.

16:19

Ανθρωπος δε τις ην πλουσιος και ενεδιδυσκετο πορφυραν και βυσσον ευφραινομενος καθ ημεραν λαμπρως

Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:

16:20

πτωχος δε τις ονοματι Λαζαρος εβεβλητο προς τον πυλωνα αυτου ειλκωμενος

and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,

16:21

και επιθυμων χορτασθηναι απο των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης του πλουσιου αλλα και οι κυνες ερχομενοι επελειχον τα ελκη αυτου

and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

16:22

Εγενετο δε αποθανειν τον πτωχον και απενεχθηναι αυτον υπο των αγγελων εις τον κολπον Αβρααμ απεθανεν δε και ο πλουσιος και εταφη

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.

16:23

και εν τω αδη επαρας τους οφθαλμους αυτου υπαρχων εν βασανοις ορα Αβρααμ απο μακροθεν και Λαζαρον εν τοις κολποις αυτου

And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

16:24

Και αυτος φωνησας ειπεν Πατερ Αβρααμ ελεησον με και πεμψον Λαζαρον ινα βαψη το ακρον του δακτυλου αυτου υδατος και καταψυξη την γλωσσαν μου οτι οδυνωμαι εν τη φλογι ταυτη

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 in anguish in this flame.

16:25

Ειπεν δε Αβρααμ Τεκνον μνησθητι οτι απελαβες τα αγαθα σου εν τη ζωη σου και Λαζαρος ομοιως τα κακα νυν δε ωδε παρακαλειται συ δε οδυνασαι

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.

16:26

και εν πασι τουτοις μεταξυ ημων και υμων χασμα μεγα εστηρικται οπως οι θελοντες διαβηναι ενθεν προς υμας μη δυνωνται μηδε εκειθεν προς ημας διαπερωσιν

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.

16:27

Ειπεν δε Ερωτω σε ουν πατερ ινα πεμψης αυτον εις τον οικον του πατρος μου

And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;

16:28

εχω γαρ πεντε αδελφους οπως διαμαρτυρηται αυτοις ινα μη και αυτοι ελθωσιν εις τον τοπον τουτον της βασανου

for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

16:29

Λεγει δε Αβρααμ Εχουσι Μωυσεα και τους προφητας ακουσατωσαν αυτων

But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

16:30

Ο δε ειπεν Ουχι πατερ Αβρααμ αλλ εαν τις απο νεκρων πορευθη προς αυτους μετανοησουσιν

And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.

16:31

Ειπεν δε αυτω Ει Μωυσεως και των προφητων ουκ ακουουσιν ουδ εαν τις εκ νεκρων αναστη πεισθησονται

And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead.
