The Latin Vulgate VUL
Revised Standard Version RSV
1 dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos homo quidam erat dives qui habebat vilicum et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius
1
He also said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a steward, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his goods.
2 et vocavit illum et ait illi quid hoc audio de te redde rationem vilicationis tuae iam enim non poteris vilicare
2
And he called him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.'
3 ait autem vilicus intra se quid faciam quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem fodere non valeo mendicare erubesco
3
And the steward said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 scio quid faciam ut cum amotus fuero a vilicatione recipiant me in domos suas
4
I have decided what to do, so that people may receive me into their houses when I am put out of the stewardship.'
5 convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui dicebat primo quantum debes domino meo
5
So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'
6 at ille dixit centum cados olei dixitque illi accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito scribe quinquaginta
6
He said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'
7 deinde alio dixit tu vero quantum debes qui ait centum choros tritici ait illi accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta
7
Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'
8 et laudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis quia prudenter fecisset quia filii huius saeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt
8
The master commended the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light.
9 et ego vobis dico facite vobis amicos de mamona iniquitatis ut cum defeceritis recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula
9
And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal habitations.
10 qui fidelis est in minimo et in maiori fidelis est et qui in modico iniquus est et in maiori iniquus est
10
"He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
11 si ergo in iniquo mamona fideles non fuistis quod verum est quis credet vobis
11
If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you the true riches?
12 et si in alieno fideles non fuistis quod vestrum est quis dabit vobis
12
And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?
13 nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire aut enim unum odiet et alterum diliget aut uni adherebit et alterum contemnet non potestis Deo servire et mamonae
13
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
14 audiebant autem omnia haec Pharisaei qui erant avari et deridebant illum
14
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all this, and they scoffed at him.
15 et ait illis vos estis qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus Deus autem novit corda vestra quia quod hominibus altum est abominatio est ante Deum
15
But he said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 lex et prophetae usque ad Iohannem ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur et omnis in illud vim facit
16
"The law and the prophets were until John; since then the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and every one enters it violently.
17 facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire quam de lege unum apicem cadere
17
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to become void.
18 omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram moechatur et qui dimissam a viro ducit moechatur
18
"Every one who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidie splendide
19
"There was a rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
20 et erat quidam mendicus nomine Lazarus qui iacebat ad ianuam eius ulceribus plenus
20
And at his gate lay a poor man named Laz'arus, full of sores,
21 cupiens saturari de micis quae cadebant de mensa divitis sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius
21
who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae mortuus est autem et dives et sepultus est in inferno
22
The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died and was buried;
23 elevans oculos suos cum esset in tormentis videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius
23
and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes, and saw Abraham far off and Laz'arus in his bosom.
24 et ipse clamans dixit pater Abraham miserere mei et mitte Lazarum ut intinguat extremum digiti sui in aqua ut refrigeret linguam meam quia crucior in hac flamma
24
And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy upon me, and send Laz'arus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.'
25 et dixit illi Abraham fili recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua et Lazarus similiter mala nunc autem hic consolatur tu vero cruciaris
25
But Abraham said, 'Son, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Laz'arus in like manner evil things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
26 et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chasma magnum firmatum est ut hii qui volunt hinc transire ad vos non possint neque inde huc transmeare
26
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
27 et ait rogo ergo te pater ut mittas eum in domum patris mei
27
And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house,
28 habeo enim quinque fratres ut testetur illis ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum
28
for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
29 et ait illi Abraham habent Mosen et prophetas audiant illos
29
But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.'
30 at ille dixit non pater Abraham sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos paenitentiam agent
30
And he said, 'No, father Abraham; but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 ait autem illi si Mosen et prophetas non audiunt neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit credent
31
He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if some one should rise from the dead.'"
