¹And 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.

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

²And 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.

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!'

³And 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.

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

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

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

⁵And calling to him each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou unto 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 measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bond, and sit down quickly and write fifty.

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

⁷Then 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.

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

⁸And 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.

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

⁹And 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.

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

¹⁰He 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.

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

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

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

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

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

¹³No 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.

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

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

¹⁵And 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.

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

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

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

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

¹⁸Every 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.

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

¹⁹Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day:

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

²⁰and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores,

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

²¹and desiring to be fed with the [crumbs] that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs come and licked his sores.

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

²²And 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.

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

²³And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth 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 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.

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!'

²⁵But 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.

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 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.

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.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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