¹And he said also to [his] disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and *he* was accused to him as wasting his goods.

¹ܘܐܡܪ ܡܬܠܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܘܗܝ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܘܐܬܐܟܠܘ ܠܗ ܩܪܨܘܗܝ ܕܩܢܝܢܗ ܡܦܪܚ ܀

²And having called him, he said to him, What [is] this that I hear of thee? give the reckoning of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.

²ܘܩܪܝܗܝ ܡܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܢܘ ܗܢܐ ܕܫܡܥ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܝܟ ܗܒ ܠܝ ܚܘܫܒܢܐ ܕܪܒܬ ܒܝܬܘܬܟ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܬ ܡܟܝܠ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܀

³And the steward said within himself, What shall I do; for my lord is taking the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

³ܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܪܒܝܬܐ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܡܪܝ ܫܩܠ ܠܗ ܡܢܝ ܪܒܬ ܒܝܬܘܬܐ ܕܐܚܦܘܪ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܘܠܡܚܕܪ ܒܗܬ ܐܢܐ ܀

⁴I know what I will do, that when I shall have been removed from the stewardship I may be received into their houses.

⁴ܝܕܥܬ ܡܢܐ ܐܥܒܕ ܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܬ ܡܢ ܪܒܬ ܒܝܬܘܬܐ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܢܝ ܒܒܬܝܗܘܢ ܀

⁵And having called to [him] each one of the debtors of his own lord, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?

⁵ܘܩܪܐ ܚܕ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܚܝܒܐ ܕܡܪܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܩܕܡܝܐ ܟܡܐ ܚܝܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܪܝ ܀

⁶And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take thy writing and sit down quickly and write fifty.

⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܐܐ ܡܬܪܝܢ ܡܫܚܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܤܒ ܟܬܒܟ ܘܬܒ ܒܥܓܠ ܟܬܘܒ ܚܡܫܝܢ ܡܬܪܝܢ ܀

⁷Then he said to another, And thou, how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he says to him, Take thy writing and write eighty.

⁷ܘܐܡܪ ܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܚܝܒ ܐܢܬ ܠܡܪܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܐܐ ܟܘܪܝܢ ܚܛܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܒܠ ܟܬܒܟ ܘܬܒ ܟܬܘܒ ܬܡܢܐܝܢ ܟܘܪܝܢ ܀

⁸And the lord praised the unrighteous steward because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are, for their own generation, more prudent than the sons of light.

⁸ܘܫܒܚ ܡܪܢ ܠܪܒܝܬܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܕܚܟܝܡܐܝܬ ܥܒܕ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܓܝܪ ܕܥܠܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܚܟܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܘܗܝ ܕܢܘܗܪܐ ܒܫܪܒܬܗܘܢ ܗܕܐ ܀

⁹And *I* say to you, Make to yourselves friends with the mammon of unrighteousness, that when it fails ye may be received into the eternal tabernacles.

⁹ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܥܒܕܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܪܚܡܐ ܡܢ ܡܡܘܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܕܡܐ ܕܓܡܪ ܢܩܒܠܘܢܟܘܢ ܒܡܛܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܀

¹⁰He that is faithful in the least is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous also in much.

¹⁰ܡܢ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܦ ܒܤܓܝ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܗܘ ܘܡܢ ܕܒܩܠܝܠ ܥܘܠ ܐܦ ܒܤܓܝ ܥܘܠ ܗܘ ܀

¹¹If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who shall entrust to you the true?

¹¹ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܒܡܡܘܢܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܫܪܪܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܀

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

¹²ܘܐܢ ܒܕܠܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܬܟܚܬܘܢ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܡܢܘ ܢܬܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܀

¹³No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and will love the other, or he will cleave to the one and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

¹³ܠܝܬ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܠܬܪܝܢ ܡܪܘܢ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܐܘ ܓܝܪ ܠܚܕ ܢܤܢܐ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܪܚܡ ܐܘ ܠܚܕ ܢܝܩܪ ܘܠܐܚܪܢܐ ܢܫܘܛ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܦܠܚ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܡܡܘܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁴ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܪܚܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܤܦܐ ܡܡܝܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܀

¹⁵And he said to them, *Ye* are they who justify themselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what amongst men is highly thought of is an abomination before God.

¹⁵ܝܫܘܥ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܡܙܕܩܝܢ ܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܠܒܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܪܡ ܒܝܬ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܕܝܕ ܗܘ ܀

¹⁶The law and the prophets [were] until John: from that time the glad tidings of the kingdom of God are announced, and every one forces his way into it.

¹⁶ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܤܬܒܪܐ ܘܟܠ ܠܗ ܚܒܨ ܕܢܥܘܠ ܀

¹⁷But it is easier that the heaven and the earth should pass away than that one tittle of the law should fail.

¹⁷ܦܫܝܩ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܐܘ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܡܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܬܥܒܪ ܀

¹⁸Every one who puts away his wife and marries another commits adultery; and every one that marries one put away from a husband commits adultery.

¹⁸ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܫܪܐ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܢܤܒ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܓܐܪ ܘܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܢܤܒ ܫܒܝܩܬܐ ܓܐܪ ܀

¹⁹Now there was a rich man and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making good cheer in splendour every day.

¹⁹ܓܒܪܐ ܕܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܘܠܒܫ ܗܘܐ ܒܘܨܐ ܘܐܪܓܘܢܐ ܘܟܠܝܘܡ ܡܬܒܤܡܝܢ ܗܘܐ ܓܐܝܐܝܬ ܀

²⁰And [there was] a poor man, by name Lazarus, [who] was laid at his gateway full of sores,

²⁰ܘܡܤܟܢܐ ܚܕ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܠܥܙܪ ܘܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܪܥܗ ܕܗܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܟܕ ܡܡܚܝ ܒܫܘܚܢܐ ܀

²¹and desiring to be filled with the crumbs which fell from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming licked his sores.

²¹ܘܡܬܝܐܒ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܡܠܐ ܟܪܤܗ ܡܢ ܦܪܬܘܬܐ ܕܢܦܠܝܢ ܡܢ ܦܬܘܪܗ ܕܗܘ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܦ ܟܠܒܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܠܚܟܝܢ ܫܘܚܢܘܗܝ ܀

²²And it came to pass that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.

²²ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܡܝܬ ܗܘ ܡܤܟܢܐ ܘܐܘܒܠܘܗܝ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܠܥܘܒܗ ܕܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܡܝܬ ܘܐܬܩܒܪ ܀

²³And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²³ܘܟܕ ܡܫܬܢܩ ܒܫܝܘܠ ܐܪܝܡ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܪܘܚܩܐ ܘܚܙܐ ܠܐܒܪܗܡ ܘܠܠܥܙܪ ܒܥܘܒܗ ܀

²⁴And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

²⁴ܘܩܪܐ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܒܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܬܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܘܫܕܪ ܠܠܥܙܪ ܕܢܨܒܘܥ ܪܝܫ ܨܒܥܗ ܒܡܝܐ ܘܢܪܛܒ ܠܝ ܠܫܢܝ ܕܗܐ ܡܫܬܢܩ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܠܗܒܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܀

²⁵But Abraham said, Child, recollect that *thou* hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and *thou* art in suffering.

²⁵ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܒܪܝ ܐܬܕܟܪ ܕܩܒܠܬ ܛܒܬܟ ܒܚܝܝܟ ܘܠܥܙܪ ܒܝܫܬܗ ܘܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܡܬܬܢܝܚ ܗܪܟܐ ܘܐܢܬ ܡܫܬܢܩ ܀

²⁶And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who [desire to cross] from there pass over unto us.

²⁶ܘܥܡ ܗܠܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܗܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܤܝܡܐ ܒܝܢܝܢ ܘܠܟܘܢ ܕܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܡܟܐ ܕܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܫܟܚܘܢ ܘܐܦܠܐ ܕܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܢܥܒܪܘܢ ܠܘܬܢ ܀

²⁷And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,

²⁷ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܕܝܢ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܐܒܝ ܕܬܫܕܪܝܘܗܝ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ ܀

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

²⁸ܚܡܫܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܠܝ ܢܐܙܠ ܢܤܗܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܐܦ ܗܢܘܢ ܢܐܬܘܢ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܕܬܫܢܝܩܐ ܀

²⁹But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.

²⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

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

³⁰ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܐ ܐܒܝ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܬܝܒܝܢ ܀

³¹And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, not even if one rise from among [the] dead will they be persuaded.

³¹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܢ ܠܡܘܫܐ ܘܠܢܒܝܐ ܠܐ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܦ ܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܡܝܬܐ ܢܩܘܡ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܠܗ ܀
