¹And he said also unto his disciples, `A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods;

¹Aga Jeesus ütles ka jüngritele: 'Oli üks rikas inimene, kellel oli mõisavalitseja, kelle peale oli talle kaevatud, nagu pillaks see tema vara.

²and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be steward.

²Ja mees kutsus mõisavalitseja ja ütles talle: 'Mis see on, mis ma sinu kohta kuulen? Anna aru oma valitsemisest, sest sa ei või enam valitseda!'

³`And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: —

³Aga mõisavalitseja mõtles endamisi: 'Mis ma pean tegema, kui isand võtab valitsemise minu käest ära? Maad kaevata ma ei jaksa, kerjata häbenen.

⁴I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.

⁴Küll ma tean, mida ma teen, et inimesed võtaksid mind vastu oma kodadesse, kui mind tagandatakse valitsemast!'

⁵`And having called near each one of his lord`s debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord?

⁵Ja ta laskis enda juurde kutsuda üksteise järel oma isanda võlglased. Esimesele ta ütles: 'Kui palju sa võlgned mu isandale?'

⁶and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty.

⁶See ütles: 'Sada vaati õli.' Tema aga ütles talle: 'Võta oma võlatäht, istu ja kirjuta kähku viiskümmend!'

⁷`Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.

⁷Seejärel ta küsis teiselt: 'Aga kui palju sina võlgned?' See ütles: 'Sada tündrit nisu.' Sellele ütles valitseja: 'Võta oma võlatäht ja kirjuta kaheksakümmend!'

⁸`And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

⁸Ja isand kiitis ülekohtust mõisavalitsejat, et ta oli käitunud arukalt, sest selle ajastu lapsed on omasuguste suhtes arukamad kui valguse lapsed.

⁹and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles.

⁹Minagi ütlen teile: Tehke endile sõpru ülekohtuse mammonaga, et kui see saab otsa, teid võetaks igavestesse telkidesse.

¹⁰`He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;

¹⁰Kes on ustav pisimas, see on ustav ka paljus, ja kes on ülekohtune pisimas, see on ülekohtune ka paljus.

¹¹if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful — the true who will entrust to you?

¹¹Kui te nüüd ülekohtuses mammonas ei ole olnud ustavad, kes võib teie kätte usaldada tõelist?

¹²and if in the other`s ye became not faithful — your own, who shall give to you?

¹²Ja kui te võõra varaga ei ole olnud ustavad, kes annaks teile kätte teie oma?

¹³`No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.`

¹³Ükski sulane ei või teenida kahte isandat, ikka on nii, et ta vihkab üht ja armastab teist või et ta pooldab üht ja põlgab teist. Te ei saa orjata Jumalat ja mammonat!'

¹⁴And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding him,

¹⁴Aga seda kõike kuulsid ka variserid, kes olid rahaahned, ja nad irvitasid Jeesuse üle.

¹⁵and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] abomination before God;

¹⁵Ja ta ütles neile: 'Teie olete need, kes end õigena näitavad inimeste silmis. Aga Jumal tunneb teie südant, sest mis inimeste seas on kõrge, see on Jumala ees jäledus.

¹⁶the law and the prophets [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;

¹⁶Moosese Seadus ja Prohvetid ulatuvad Johanneseni. Sellest ajast peale kuulutatakse evangeeliumi Jumala riigist ja igaüks tungib väevõimul sinna sisse.

¹⁷and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall.

¹⁷Aga hõlpsamini kaovad taevas ja maa kui üksainus kriipsuke Seadusest.

¹⁸`Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.

¹⁸Igaüks, kes ajab minema oma naise ja võtab teise, rikub abielu, ja kes võtab minemaaetud naise, rikub abielu.

¹⁹`And — a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day,

¹⁹Oli üks rikas inimene ja tal oli kombeks rõivastuda purpurisse ja peenlinasesse, pidutsedes päevast päeva rõõmsasti.

²⁰and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,

²⁰Aga üks vaene, Laatsarus nimi, oli maas tema värava ees, täis paiseid,

²¹and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.

²¹ja püüdis oma kõhtu täita leivaraasukestega, mis rikka laualt kukkusid. Kuid koeradki tulid ja lakkusid tema paiseid.

²²`And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham — and the rich man also died, and was buried;

²²Siis sündis, et vaene suri, ja inglid kandsid ta Aabrahami sülle. Aga ka rikas suri ja maeti maha.

²³and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

²³Ja põrgus piineldes tõstis ta oma silmad üles ja nägi Aabrahami kaugelt ja Laatsarust tema süles.

²⁴and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

²⁴Ja ta hüüdis: 'Isa Aabraham, halasta minu peale ja saada Laatsarus, et ta kastaks oma sõrmeotsa vette ja jahutaks mu keelt, sest ma tunnen suurt valu selles leegis!'

²⁵`And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

²⁵Aga Aabraham ütles: 'Laps, tuleta meelde, et sa oled oma hea põlve elus kätte saanud, ja nõndasamuti Laatsarus halva. Nüüd lohutatakse teda siin, sina aga tunned valu.

²⁶and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.

²⁶Ja pealegi on meie ja teie vahele seatud suur kuristik, et need, kes tahavad siit teie juurde minna, ei saa, ega tulda ka sealt meie juurde.'

²⁷`And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,

²⁷Aga tema ütles: 'Ma palun siis sind, isa, et sa saadaksid Laatsaruse mu isakotta,

²⁸for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

²⁸sest mul on viis venda, et ta hoiataks neid, et nemadki ei satuks siia piinapaika!'

²⁹`Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;

²⁹Kuid Aabraham ütles: 'Neil on Mooses ja Prohvetid, kuulaku nad neid!'

³⁰and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.

³⁰Ent tema ütles: 'Ei sugugi, isa Aabraham, vaid kui keegi surnuist nende juurde läheks, siis nad parandaksid meelt!'

³¹And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.`

³¹Aabraham aga ütles talle: 'Kui nad ei kuula Moosest ja Prohveteid, ei neid veena siis ka see, kui keegi surnuist üles tõuseks!''
