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

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.

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!'

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!'

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!'

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.

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.

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.

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.'

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
