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

¹And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

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

²And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.

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

³Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.

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

⁴I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

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

⁵So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

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

⁶And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

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

⁷Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.

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

⁸And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

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

⁹And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

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

¹⁰He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

¹⁵And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

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

¹⁶The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

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

¹⁷And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

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

¹⁸Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

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

¹⁹There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

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

²⁰And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

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

²¹And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

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

²²And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

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

²³And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

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

²⁴And 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 tormented in this flame.

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

²⁵But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

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

²⁶And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

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

²⁷Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:

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

²⁸For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܒܪܗܡ ܐܝܬ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܘܢܒܝܐ ܢܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²⁹Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

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

³⁰And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

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

³¹And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
