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.

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

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.’

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.’

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

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.’

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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. .”

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.’

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.

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.

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.

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.’

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.’”

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