Luke 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.

Men han sagde også til Disciplene: "Der var en rig Mand, som havde en Husholder, og denne blev angiven for ham som en, der ødte hans Ejendom.

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.

Og han lod ham kalde og sagde til ham: Hvad er dette, jeg hører om dig? Aflæg Regnskabet for din Husholdning; thi du kan ikke længer være Husholder.

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.

Men Husholderen sagde ved sig selv: Hvad skal jeg gøre, efterdi min Herre tager Husholdningen fra mig? Jeg formår ikke at Grave, jeg skammer mig ved at tigge.

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

Nu ved jeg, hvad jeg vil gøre, for af de skulle modtage mig i deres Huse, når jeg bliver sat fra Husholdningen.

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

Og han kaldte hver enkelt af sin Herres Skyldnere til sig og sagde til den første: Hvor meget er du min Herre skyldig?

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

Men han sagde: Hundrede Fade Olie. Og han sagde til ham: Tag dit Skyldbrev, og sæt dig hurtig ned og skriv halvtredsindstyve!

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.

Derefter sagde han til en anden: Men du, hvor meget er du skyldig? Men han sagde: Hundrede Mål Hvede. Han siger til ham: Tag dit Skyldbrev og skriv firsindstyve!

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.

Og Herren roste den uretfærdige Husholder, fordi han havde handlet klogelig; thi denne Verdens Børn ere klogere end Lysets Børn imod deres egen Slægt.

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.

Og jeg siger eder: Gører eder Venner ved Uretfærdighedens Mammon, for at de, når det er forbi med den, må modtage eder i de evige Boliger.

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.

Den, som er tro i det mindste, er også tro i meget, og den, som er uretfærdig i det mindste, er også uretfærdig i meget.

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

Dersom I da ikke have været tro i den uretfærdige Mammon, hvem vil da betro eder den sande?

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

Og dersom I ikke have været tro i det, som andre eje, hvem vil da give eder noget selv at eje?

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.

Ingen Tjener kan tjene to Herrer; thi han vil enten hade den ene og elske den anden, eller holde sig til den ene og ringeagte den anden; I kunne ikke tjene Gud og Mammon."

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

Men alt dette hørte Farisæerne, som vare pengegerrige, og de spottede ham.

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.

Og han sagde til dem: "I ere de, som gøre eder selv retfærdige for Menneskene; men Gud kender eders Hjerter; thi det, som er højt iblandt Mennesker, er en Vederstyggelighed for Gud.

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

Loven og Profeterne vare indtil Johannes; fra den Tid forkyndes Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og enhver trænger derind med Vold.

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

Men det er lettere, at Himmelen og Jorden forgå, end at en Tøddel af Loven bortfalder.

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

Hver, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru og tager en anden til Ægte, bedriver Hor; og hver, som tager til Ægte en Kvinde, der er skilt fra sin Mand, bedriver Hor.

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

Men der var en rig Mand, og han klædte sig i Purpur og kostbart Linned og levede hver Dag i Fryd og Herlighed.

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

Men en fattig ved Navn Lazarus var lagt ved hans Port, fuld af Sår.

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

Og han attråede at mættes af det, som faldt fra den Riges Bord; men også Hundene kom og slikkede hans Sår.

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;

Men det skete, at den fattige døde, og at han blev henbåren af Englene i Abrahams Skød; men den rige døde også og blev begravet.

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

Og da han slog sine Øjne op i Dødsriget, hvor han var i Pine, ser han Abraham langt borte og Lazarus i hans Skød.

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.

Og han råbte og sagde: Fader Abraham! forbarm dig over mig, og send Lazarus, for at han kan dyppe det yderste af sin Finger i Vand og læske min Tunge; thi jeg pines svarlig i denne Lue.

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.

Men Abraham sagde: Barn! kom i Hu, at du har fået dit gode i din Livstid, og Lazarus ligeså det onde; men nu trøstes han her, og du pines.

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.

Og foruden alt dette er der fæstet et stort Svælg imellem os og eder, for at de, som ville fare herfra over til eder, ikke skulle kunne det, og de ikke heller skulle fare derfra over til os.

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

Men han sagde: Så beder jeg dig, Fader! at du vil sende ham til min Faders Hus

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

thi jeg har fem Brødre for at han kan vidne for dem, for at ikke også de skulle komme i dette Pinested.

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

Men Abraham siger til ham: De have Moses og Profeterne, lad dem høre dem!

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

Men han sagde: Nej, Fader Abraham! men dersom nogen fra de døde kommer til dem, ville de omvende sig.

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

Men han sagde til ham: Høre de ikke Moses og Profeterne, da lade de sig heller ikke overbevise, om nogen opstår fra de døde."
