¹And 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.

¹A hovoril aj svojim učeníkom: Bol istý bohatý človek, ktorý mal správcu, a ten bol ohovorený u neho, že mrhá jeho majetok.

²And 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.

²A zavolajúc ho povedal mu: Čo to čujem o tebe? Vydaj počet zo svojej správy, lebo nebudeš môcť ďalej spravovať.

³Then 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.

³Vtedy povedal správca sám v sebe: Čo urobím, keďže môj pán odníma odo mňa správu? Kopať nevládzem, žobrať sa hanbím.

⁴I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

⁴Viem, čo urobím, aby ma, keď budem odstránený zo správy, prijali do svojich domov.

⁵So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

⁵A zavolajúc si jedného každého z dlžníkov svojho pána povedal prvému: Koľko si dlžen môjmu pánovi?

⁶And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

⁶A on odpovedal: Sto batov oleja. A on mu povedal: Vezmi svoj zápis, sadni rýchle a napíš päťdesiat!

⁷Then 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.

⁷Potom povedal inému: A ty koľkože dlhuješ? A on povedal: Sto korcov pšenice. A povedal mu: Vezmi svoj zápis a napíš osemdesiat!

⁸And 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.

⁸A pán pochválil nespravedlivého správcu, že opatrne urobil. Lebo synovia tohoto sveta sú opatrnejší nad synov svetla čo do svojho pokolenia.

⁹And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

⁹I ja vám hovorím: Robte si priateľov z nespravedlivého mamona, aby vás, keď sa pominie a nebude už mať pre vás ceny, prijali do večných stánov.

¹⁰He 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.

¹⁰Kto je verný v mále, je verný aj v mnohu; a kto je nespravedlivý v mále, je nespravedlivý aj v mnohu.

¹¹If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

¹¹Ak tedy neboli ste verní v nespravedlivom mamone, ktože vám potom sverí to, čo je pravé?

¹²And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?

¹²A jestli ste neboli verní v cudzom, kto vám dá to, čo je vaše?

¹³No 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.

¹³Niktorí čeľadín nemôže slúžiť dvom pánom, lebo buď jedného bude nenávidieť a druhého milovať, buď jedného sa bude pridŕžať a druhým bude pohŕdať. Nemôžeme slúžiť Bohu aj mamonu.

¹⁴And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

¹⁴A počúvali to všetko aj farizeovia, ktorí mali radi peniaze, a posmievali sa mu.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁵A on im povedal: Vy ste tí, ktorí sa sami robia spravedlivými pred ľuďmi, ale Bôh zná vaše srdcia, lebo to, čo je vysoké u ľudí, je ohavnosťou pred Bohom.

¹⁶The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

¹⁶Zákon i proroci až po Jána: odvtedy sa zvestuje kráľovstvo Božie, a každý sa nasilu tisne do neho.

¹⁷And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

¹⁷A ľahšie je, aby sa pominuly nebo i zem, než aby jeden háčik padol zo zákona.

¹⁸Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

¹⁸Každý, kto prepúšťa svoju ženu a berie si inú, cudzoloží; a každý, kto si berie prepustenú od muža, cudzoloží.

¹⁹There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

¹⁹A bol nejaký bohatý človek, ktorý sa obliekal v purpur a kment a žil každý deň v radosti a v prepychu.

²⁰And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

²⁰A bol nejaký chudobný človek, menom Lazar, ktorý ležal pri jeho bráne vredovitý

²¹And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

²¹a žiadal si nasýtiť sa omrvín, ktoré padaly so stola boháča. Ale ešte aj psi prichádzali a lízali jeho vredy.

²²And 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;

²²A stalo sa, že chudobný človek zomrel a bol zanesený od anjelov do lona Abrahámovho. A zomrel aj boháč, a pochovali ho.

²³And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²³Potom v pekle, v mukách, pozdvihnul svoje oči a videl Abraháma zďaleka a Lazara v jeho lone.

²⁴And 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.

²⁴Vtedy zavolal boháč a povedal: Otče Abraháme, zmiluj sa nado mnou a pošli Lazara, aby omočil koniec svojho prsta vo vode a ovlažil môj jazyk, lebo sa mučím v tomto plameni.

²⁵But 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.

²⁵A Abrahám povedal: Dieťa, rozpamätaj sa, že si ty vzal svoje dobré vo svojom živote a Lazar podobne zlé; a tak teraz on sa tu teší, a ty sa mučíš.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶A nad to nado všetko medzi nami a vami je upevnená veliká priepasť, aby tí, ktorí chcú prejsť odtiaľto k vám, nemohli, ani aby sa tí tamztade k nám nedostali.

²⁷Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

²⁷A povedal im: Prosím ťa tedy, otče, žeby si ho poslal do domu môjho otca,

²⁸For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁸lebo mám päť bratov, nech im dôrazne svedčí, aby neprišli aj oni do tohoto miesta múk.

²⁹Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

²⁹A Abrahám mu povedal: Majú Mojžiša a prorokov, nech tých počúvajú!

³⁰And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

³⁰A on povedal: Nie, otče Abraháme, ale keby niekto z mŕtvych išiel k nim, budú činiť pokánie.

³¹And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

³¹Na to mu povedal Abrahám: Ak nepočúvajú Mojžiša a prorokov, neuverili by, ani keby niekto vstal z mŕtvych.
