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

¹He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.

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!'

² He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’

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

³ “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.

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

⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’

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

⁵ Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’

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

⁶ He said, ‘A hundred batos 100 batos is about 395 litres or 104 U. S. gallons. of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, 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!'

⁷ Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors 100 cors = about 3,910 litres or 600 bushels. of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’

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

⁸ “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light.

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

⁹ I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents.

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

¹⁰ He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

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

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

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

¹² If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is 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!'

¹³ No 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. You aren’t able to serve God and mammon “Mammon” refers to riches or a false god of wealth. .”

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

¹⁴The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at 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.

¹⁵He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

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

¹⁶ The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

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

¹⁷ But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.

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

¹⁸ Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.

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

¹⁹ “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.

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

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

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

²¹ and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

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

²² It happened that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

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

²³ In Hades or, Hell , he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at 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!'

²⁴ 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.’

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.

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

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.'

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’

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

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house;

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

²⁸ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

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

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

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

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, 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!''

³¹ “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
