¹A hovoril aj svojim učeníkom: Bol istý bohatý človek, ktorý mal správcu, a ten bol ohovorený u neho, že mrhá jeho majetok.

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;

²A zavolajúc ho povedal mu: Čo to čujem o tebe? Vydaj počet zo svojej správy, lebo nebudeš môcť ďalej spravovať.

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.

³Vtedy povedal správca sám v sebe: Čo urobím, keďže môj pán odníma odo mňa správu? Kopať nevládzem, žobrať sa hanbím.

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: —

⁴Viem, čo urobím, aby ma, keď budem odstránený zo správy, prijali do svojich domov.

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

⁵A zavolajúc si jedného každého z dlžníkov svojho pána povedal prvému: Koľko si dlžen môjmu pánovi?

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?

⁶A on odpovedal: Sto batov oleja. A on mu povedal: Vezmi svoj zápis, sadni rýchle a napíš päťdesiat!

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

⁷Potom povedal inému: A ty koľkože dlhuješ? A on povedal: Sto korcov pšenice. A povedal mu: Vezmi svoj zápis a napíš osemdesiat!

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.

⁸A pán pochválil nespravedlivého správcu, že opatrne urobil. Lebo synovia tohoto sveta sú opatrnejší nad synov svetla čo do svojho pokolenia.

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.

⁹I ja vám hovorím: Robte si priateľov z nespravedlivého mamona, aby vás, keď sa pominie a nebude už mať pre vás ceny, prijali do večných stánov.

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.

¹⁰Kto je verný v mále, je verný aj v mnohu; a kto je nespravedlivý v mále, je nespravedlivý aj v mnohu.

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;

¹¹Ak tedy neboli ste verní v nespravedlivom mamone, ktože vám potom sverí to, čo je pravé?

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

¹²A jestli ste neboli verní v cudzom, kto vám dá to, čo je vaše?

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

¹³Niktorí čeľadín nemôže slúžiť dvom pánom, lebo buď jedného bude nenávidieť a druhého milovať, buď jedného sa bude pridŕžať a druhým bude pohŕdať. Nemôžeme slúžiť Bohu aj mamonu.

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.`

¹⁴A počúvali to všetko aj farizeovia, ktorí mali radi peniaze, a posmievali sa mu.

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

¹⁵A on im povedal: Vy ste tí, ktorí sa sami robia spravedlivými pred ľuďmi, ale Bôh zná vaše srdcia, lebo to, čo je vysoké u ľudí, je ohavnosťou pred Bohom.

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;

¹⁶Zákon i proroci až po Jána: odvtedy sa zvestuje kráľovstvo Božie, a každý sa nasilu tisne do neho.

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;

¹⁷A ľahšie je, aby sa pominuly nebo i zem, než aby jeden háčik padol zo zákona.

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

¹⁸Každý, kto prepúšťa svoju ženu a berie si inú, cudzoloží; a každý, kto si berie prepustenú od muža, cudzoloží.

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.

¹⁹A bol nejaký bohatý človek, ktorý sa obliekal v purpur a kment a žil každý deň v radosti a v prepychu.

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

²⁰A bol nejaký chudobný človek, menom Lazar, ktorý ležal pri jeho bráne vredovitý

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

²¹a žiadal si nasýtiť sa omrvín, ktoré padaly so stola boháča. Ale ešte aj psi prichádzali a lízali jeho vredy.

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.

²²A stalo sa, že chudobný človek zomrel a bol zanesený od anjelov do lona Abrahámovho. A zomrel aj boháč, a pochovali ho.

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;

²³Potom v pekle, v mukách, pozdvihnul svoje oči a videl Abraháma zďaleka a Lazara v jeho lone.

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

²⁴Vtedy zavolal boháč a povedal: Otče Abraháme, zmiluj sa nado mnou a pošli Lazara, aby omočil koniec svojho prsta vo vode a ovlažil môj jazyk, lebo sa mučím v tomto plameni.

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.

²⁵A Abrahám povedal: Dieťa, rozpamätaj sa, že si ty vzal svoje dobré vo svojom živote a Lazar podobne zlé; a tak teraz on sa tu teší, a ty sa mučíš.

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;

²⁶A nad to nado všetko medzi nami a vami je upevnená veliká priepasť, aby tí, ktorí chcú prejsť odtiaľto k vám, nemohli, ani aby sa tí tamztade k nám nedostali.

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.

²⁷A povedal im: Prosím ťa tedy, otče, žeby si ho poslal do domu môjho otca,

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

²⁸lebo mám päť bratov, nech im dôrazne svedčí, aby neprišli aj oni do tohoto miesta múk.

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

²⁹A Abrahám mu povedal: Majú Mojžiša a prorokov, nech tých počúvajú!

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

³⁰A on povedal: Nie, otče Abraháme, ale keby niekto z mŕtvych išiel k nim, budú činiť pokánie.

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

³¹Na to mu povedal Abrahám: Ak nepočúvajú Mojžiša a prorokov, neuverili by, ani keby niekto vstal z mŕtvych.

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.`
