Lúkasarguðspjall 16
Icelandic Bible
16 Enn sagði hann við lærisveina sína: "Maður nokkur ríkur hafði ráðsmann, og var sá sakaður við hann um það, að hann sóaði eigum hans.
2 Hann kallaði hann fyrir sig og sagði við hann: ,Hvað er þetta, er ég heyri um þig? Gjör reikningsskil ráðsmennsku þinnar, því þú getur ekki verið ráðsmaður lengur.`
3 Ráðsmaðurinn sagði þá við sjálfan sig: ,Hvað á ég að gjöra, fyrst húsbóndi minn sviptir mig ráðsmennskunni? Ekki orka ég að grafa og skömm þykir mér að betla.
4 Nú sé ég, hvað ég gjöri, til þess að menn taki við mér í hús sín, þegar ég verð sviptur ráðsmennskunni.`
5 Hann kallaði nú á skuldunauta húsbónda síns, hvern og einn. Við þann fyrsta sagði hann: ,Hve mikið skuldar þú húsbónda mínum?`
6 Hann svaraði: ,Hundrað kvartil viðsmjörs.` Hann mælti þá við hann: ,Tak skuldabréf þitt, set þig niður og skrifa sem skjótast fimmtíu.`
7 Síðan sagði hann við annan: ,En hvað skuldar þú?` Hann svaraði: ,Hundrað tunnur hveitis.` Og hann sagði honum: ,Tak þú skuldabréf þitt og skrifa áttatíu.`
8 Og húsbóndinn hrósaði rangláta ráðsmanninum fyrir að hafa breytt kænlega. Því að börn þessa heims eru kænni í skiptum við sína kynslóð en börn ljóssins.
9 Og ég segi yður: Aflið yður vina með hinum rangláta mammón, svo að þeir taki við yður í eilífar tjaldbúðir, þegar honum sleppir.
10 Sá sem er trúr í því smæsta, er einnig trúr í miklu, og sá sem er ótrúr í því smæsta, er og ótrúr í miklu.
11 Ef þér reynist ekki trúir í hinum rangláta mammón, hver trúir yður þá fyrir sönnum auði?
12 Og ef þér reynist ekki trúir í því sem annars er, hver gefur yður þá það, sem yðar er?
13 Enginn þjónn getur þjónað tveimur herrum. Annaðhvort hatar hann annan og elskar hinn eða þýðist annan og afrækir hinn. Þér getið ekki þjónað Guði og mammón."
14 En farísearnir, sem voru menn fégjarnir, heyrðu þetta og gjörðu gys að honum.
15 En hann sagði við þá: "Þér eruð þeir, sem réttlætið sjálfa yður í augum manna, en Guð þekkir hjörtu yðar. Því það, sem hátt er að dómi manna, er viðurstyggð í augum Guðs.
16 Lögmálið og spámennirnir ná fram til Jóhannesar. Þaðan í frá er flutt fagnaðarerindi Guðs ríkis, og hver maður vill ryðjast þar inn.
17 En það er auðveldara, að himinn og jörð líði undir lok, en einn stafkrókur lögmálsins falli úr gildi.
18 Hver sem skilur við konu sína og gengur að eiga aðra, drýgir hór, og hver sem gengur að eiga konu, sem skilin er við mann, drýgir hór.
19 Einu sinni var maður nokkur ríkur, er klæddist purpura og dýru líni og lifði hvern dag í dýrlegum fagnaði.
20 En fátækur maður, hlaðinn kaunum, lá fyrir dyrum hans og hét sá Lasarus.
21 Feginn vildi hann seðja sig á því, er féll af borði ríka mannsins, og jafnvel hundar komu og sleiktu kaun hans.
22 En nú gjörðist það, að fátæki maðurinn dó, og báru hann englar í faðm Abrahams. Ríki maðurinn dó líka og var grafinn.
23 Og í helju, þar sem hann var í kvölum, hóf hann upp augu sín og sá Abraham í fjarska og Lasarus við brjóst hans.
24 Þá kallaði hann: ,Faðir Abraham, miskunna þú mér, og send Lasarus, að hann dýfi fingurgómi sínum í vatn og kæli tungu mína, því ég kvelst í þessum loga.`
25 Abraham sagði: ,Minnstu þess, barn, að þú hlaust þín gæði, meðan þú lifðir, og Lasarus böl á sama hátt. Nú er hann hér huggaður, en þú kvelst.
26 Auk alls þessa er mikið djúp staðfest milli vor og yðar, svo að þeir, er héðan vildu fara yfir til yðar, geti það ekki, og eigi verði heldur komist þaðan yfir til vor.`
27 En hann sagði: ,Þá bið ég þig, faðir, að þú sendir hann í hús föður míns,
28 en ég á fimm bræður, til þess að vara þá við, svo þeir komi ekki líka í þennan kvalastað.`
29 En Abraham segir: ,Þeir hafa Móse og spámennina, hlýði þeir þeim.`
30 Hinn svaraði: ,Nei, faðir Abraham, en ef einhver kæmi til þeirra frá hinum dauðu, mundu þeir gjöra iðrun.`
31 En Abraham sagði við hann: ,Ef þeir hlýða ekki Móse og spámönnunum, láta þeir ekki heldur sannfærast, þótt einhver rísi upp frá dauðum."`

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(A) 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “‘Nine hundred gallons[a] of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’
7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“‘A thousand bushels[b] of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(B) are more shrewd(C) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(D) 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth(E) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(F)
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(G) and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth,(H) who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”(I)
14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(J) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(K) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(L) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(M) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
Additional Teachings
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(N) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(O) and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.(P)
18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(Q)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.(R) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(S) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(T) Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,(U) have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’(V)
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(W) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(X) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(Y) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(Z) and the Prophets;(AA) let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(AB) he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

King James Version
16 And 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.
2 And 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.
3 Then 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.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
7 Then 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.
8 And 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.
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10 He 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.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
13 No 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.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
15 And 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.
16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 And 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;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And 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.
25 But 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.
26 And 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.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
