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.

¹Pravil je pa tudi učencem svojim: Bil je bogat človek, ki je imel oskrbnika; in tega so ovadili pri njem, kakor da bi mu razsipal imetje.

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.’

²In pokliče ga ter mu reče: Kaj to slišim o tebi? Daj račun o gospodarstvu svojem, zakaj ne moreš mi dalje gospodariti.

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.

³A oskrbnik reče sam v sebi: Kaj naj storim, ker mi gospod moj jemlje oskrbništvo? Kopati ne morem, prositi me je sram.

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

⁴Vem, kaj bom storil, da me sprejmo v hiše svoje, kadar bom odstavljen od oskrbništva.

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

⁵In pokliče k sebi vse dolžnike svojega gospoda, vsakega posebe, in reče prvemu: Koliko si dolžen gospodu mojemu?

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.’

⁶On pa reče: Sto meric olja. In reče mu: Vzemi svoje pismo, pa sedi hitro in napiši petdeset.

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.’

⁷Potem reče drugemu: A ti, koliko si dolžen? On pa reče: Sto korcev pšenice. In veli mu: Vzemi svoje pismo in napiši osemdeset.

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.

⁸In gospodar pohvali krivičnega oskrbnika, ker je pametno storil; zakaj sinovi tega sveta so pametnejši v svojem rodu od sinov svetlobe.

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.

⁹Tudi jaz vam pravim: Storite si prijateljev s krivičnim mamonom, da vas, kadar vam poide, sprejmo v večna stanovanja.

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.

¹⁰Kdor je v najmanjšem zvest, je zvest tudi v velikem, in kdor je v najmanjšem krivičen, je krivičen tudi v velikem.

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

¹¹Če torej v krivičnem mamonu niste bili zvesti, pravo bogastvo, kdo vam zaupa?

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

¹²In če v tujem niste bili zvesti, kdo vam da, kar je vašega?

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. .”

¹³Noben hlapec ne more dvema gospodoma služiti; kajti ali bo enega sovražil in drugega ljubil, ali bo enemu vdan in bo drugega zaničeval. Ne morete Bogu služiti in mamonu.

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

¹⁴Poslušali so pa vse to tudi farizeji, ki so srebro ljubili, ter so ga zasmehovali.

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.

¹⁵In jim reče: Vi ste tisti, ki se delate pravične pred ljudmi, ali Bog pozna srca vaša; kajti kar je pri ljudeh visoko, je gnusoba pred Bogom.

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.

¹⁶Zakon in proroki so do Janeza, odtlej se oznanjuje blagovestje o kraljestvu Božjem, in vsak s silo tišči vanj.

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.

¹⁷Laže je pa nebu in zemlji preiti nego eni pičici iz postave izginiti.

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

¹⁸Vsak, kdor se loči od žene svoje in se oženi z drugo, prešeštvuje; in kdor vzame ločeno od moža, prešeštvuje.

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

¹⁹Bil je pa bogat človek in se je oblačil v škrlat in tenčico in se je razveseljeval vsak dan sijajno.

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

²⁰In bil je ubožec, po imenu Lazar, ki je ležal pred vrati njegovimi poln tvorov,

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.

²¹in se je želel nasititi z drobtinami, ki so padale z mize bogatinove; ali tudi psi so prihajali ter lizali gnoj njegov.

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.

²²Zgodi se pa, da ubožec umre, in angeli ga odneso v naročje Abrahamovo; umrje pa tudi bogatin in je bil pokopan.

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

²³In v peklu [Grški: v hadesu.], ko je bil v bolečinah, povzdigne oči svoje in ugleda Abrahama oddaleč in Lazarja v naročju njegovem.

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.’

²⁴In zavpije in reče: Oče Abraham, usmili se me in pošlji Lazarja, naj omoči v vodi prsta svojega konec in mi ohladi jezik, ker se mučim v tem plamenu.

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.

²⁵Abraham pa reče: Sin, spomni se, da si ti prejel dobrote svoje v življenju svojem, in ravno tako Lazar hudo. Sedaj pa on tu uživa tolažbo, a ti se mučiš.

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.’

²⁶In vrhu vsega tega, med nami in vami je utrjen velik prepad, da ne morejo, če kateri hočejo, odtod iti k vam, in tudi ne odondod preiti sem k nam.

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

²⁷Pa reče: Prosim te torej, pošlji ga na mojega očeta dom.

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

²⁸Imam namreč pet bratov: da jim to izpriča, da ne pridejo tudi oni v ta kraj trpljenja.

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

²⁹Veli pa Abraham: Mojzesa imajo in proroke, poslušajo naj jih.

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

³⁰On pa reče: Ne, oče Abraham, ampak če kdo od mrtvih pride k njim, se bodo izpokorili.Pa mu reče: Če Mojzesa in prorokov ne poslušajo, se tudi ne dado prepričati, če kdo iz mrtvih vstane.

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.’”

³¹Pa mu reče: Če Mojzesa in prorokov ne poslušajo, se tudi ne dado prepričati, če kdo iz mrtvih vstane.
