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

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.

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

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.’

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

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

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.’

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

¹² If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?

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 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. .”

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.’

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 “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.

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.

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.’

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

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

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.’”
