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.

¹Pravil je pa tudi učencem svojim: Bil je bogat človek, ki je imel oskrbnika; in tega so ovadili pri njem, kakor da bi mu razsipal imetje.

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.

²In pokliče ga ter mu reče: Kaj to slišim o tebi? Daj račun o gospodarstvu svojem, zakaj ne moreš mi dalje gospodariti.

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.

³A oskrbnik reče sam v sebi: Kaj naj storim, ker mi gospod moj jemlje oskrbništvo? Kopati ne morem, prositi me je sram.

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

⁴Vem, kaj bom storil, da me sprejmo v hiše svoje, kadar bom odstavljen od oskrbništva.

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

⁵In pokliče k sebi vse dolžnike svojega gospoda, vsakega posebe, in reče prvemu: Koliko si dolžen gospodu mojemu?

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

⁶On pa reče: Sto meric olja. In reče mu: Vzemi svoje pismo, pa sedi hitro in napiši petdeset.

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.

⁷Potem reče drugemu: A ti, koliko si dolžen? On pa reče: Sto korcev pšenice. In veli mu: Vzemi svoje pismo in napiši osemdeset.

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.

⁸In gospodar pohvali krivičnega oskrbnika, ker je pametno storil; zakaj sinovi tega sveta so pametnejši v svojem rodu od sinov svetlobe.

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.

⁹Tudi jaz vam pravim: Storite si prijateljev s krivičnim mamonom, da vas, kadar vam poide, sprejmo v večna stanovanja.

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.

¹⁰Kdor je v najmanjšem zvest, je zvest tudi v velikem, in kdor je v najmanjšem krivičen, je krivičen tudi v velikem.

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

¹¹Če torej v krivičnem mamonu niste bili zvesti, pravo bogastvo, kdo vam zaupa?

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

¹²In če v tujem niste bili zvesti, kdo vam da, kar je vašega?

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.

¹³Noben hlapec ne more dvema gospodoma služiti; kajti ali bo enega sovražil in drugega ljubil, ali bo enemu vdan in bo drugega zaničeval. Ne morete Bogu služiti in mamonu.

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

¹⁴Poslušali so pa vse to tudi farizeji, ki so srebro ljubili, ter so ga zasmehovali.

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.

¹⁵In jim reče: Vi ste tisti, ki se delate pravične pred ljudmi, ali Bog pozna srca vaša; kajti kar je pri ljudeh visoko, je gnusoba pred Bogom.

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

¹⁶Zakon in proroki so do Janeza, odtlej se oznanjuje blagovestje o kraljestvu Božjem, in vsak s silo tišči vanj.

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

¹⁷Laže je pa nebu in zemlji preiti nego eni pičici iz postave izginiti.

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

¹⁸Vsak, kdor se loči od žene svoje in se oženi z drugo, prešeštvuje; in kdor vzame ločeno od moža, prešeštvuje.

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

¹⁹Bil je pa bogat človek in se je oblačil v škrlat in tenčico in se je razveseljeval vsak dan sijajno.

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

²⁰In bil je ubožec, po imenu Lazar, ki je ležal pred vrati njegovimi poln tvorov,

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

²¹in se je želel nasititi z drobtinami, ki so padale z mize bogatinove; ali tudi psi so prihajali ter lizali gnoj njegov.

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;

²²Zgodi se pa, da ubožec umre, in angeli ga odneso v naročje Abrahamovo; umrje pa tudi bogatin in je bil pokopan.

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

²³In v peklu [Grški: v hadesu.], ko je bil v bolečinah, povzdigne oči svoje in ugleda Abrahama oddaleč in Lazarja v naročju njegovem.

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.

²⁴In zavpije in reče: Oče Abraham, usmili se me in pošlji Lazarja, naj omoči v vodi prsta svojega konec in mi ohladi jezik, ker se mučim v tem plamenu.

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.

²⁵Abraham pa reče: Sin, spomni se, da si ti prejel dobrote svoje v življenju svojem, in ravno tako Lazar hudo. Sedaj pa on tu uživa tolažbo, a ti se mučiš.

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.

²⁶In vrhu vsega tega, med nami in vami je utrjen velik prepad, da ne morejo, če kateri hočejo, odtod iti k vam, in tudi ne odondod preiti sem k nam.

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

²⁷Pa reče: Prosim te torej, pošlji ga na mojega očeta dom.

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

²⁸Imam namreč pet bratov: da jim to izpriča, da ne pridejo tudi oni v ta kraj trpljenja.

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

²⁹Veli pa Abraham: Mojzesa imajo in proroke, poslušajo naj jih.

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

³⁰On pa reče: Ne, oče Abraham, ampak če kdo od mrtvih pride k njim, se bodo izpokorili.Pa mu reče: Če Mojzesa in prorokov ne poslušajo, se tudi ne dado prepričati, če kdo iz mrtvih vstane.

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

³¹Pa mu reče: Če Mojzesa in prorokov ne poslušajo, se tudi ne dado prepričati, če kdo iz mrtvih vstane.
