1 وقال ايضا لتلاميذه كان انسان غني له وكيل فوشي به اليه بانه يبذّر امواله.2 فدعاه وقال له ما هذا الذي اسمع عنك. اعط حساب وكالتك لانك لا تقدر ان تكون وكيلا بعد.3 فقال الوكيل في نفسه ماذا افعل. لان سيدي يأخذ مني الوكالة. لست استطيع ان انقب واستحي ان استعطي.4 قد علمت ماذا افعل حتى اذا عزلت عن الوكالة يقبلوني في بيوتهم.5 فدعا كل واحد من مديوني سيده وقال للأول كم عليك لسيدي.6 فقال مئة بث زيت. فقال له خذ صكك واجلس عاجلا واكتب خمسين.7 ثم قال لآخر وانت كم عليك. فقال مئة كرّ قمح. فقال له خذ صكك واكتب ثمانين.8 فمدح السيد وكيل الظلم اذ بحكمة فعل. لان ابناء هذا الدهر احكم من ابناء النور في جيلهم.9 وانا اقول لكم اصنعوا لكم اصدقاء بمال الظلم حتى اذا فنيتم يقبلونكم في المظال الابدية.10 الامين في القليل امين ايضا في الكثير. والظالم في القليل ظالم ايضا في الكثير.11 فان لم تكونوا امناء في مال الظلم فمن يأتمنكم على الحق.12 وان لم تكونوا امناء في ما هو للغير فمن يعطيكم ما هو لكم.13 لا يقدر خادم ان يخدم سيدين. لانه اما ان يبغض الواحد ويحب الآخر او يلازم الواحد ويحتقر الآخر. لا تقدرون ان تخدموا الله والمال14 وكان الفريسيون ايضا يسمعون هذا كله وهم محبون للمال فاستهزأوا به.15 فقال لهم انتم الذين تبررون انفسكم قدام الناس. ولكن الله يعرف قلوبكم. ان المستعلي عند الناس هو رجس قدام الله16 كان الناموس والانبياء الى يوحنا. ومن ذلك الوقت يبشر بملكوت الله وكل واحد يغتصب نفسه اليه.17 ولكن زوال السماء والارض ايسر من ان تسقط نقطة واحدة من الناموس.18 كل من يطلّق امرأته ويتزوج باخرى يزني وكل من يتزوج بمطلّقة من رجل يزني19 كان انسان غني وكان يلبس الارجوان والبز وهو يتنعم كل يوم مترفها.20 وكان مسكين اسمه لعازر الذي طرح عند بابه مضروبا بالقروح.21 ويشتهي ان يشبع من الفتات الساقط من مائدة الغني. بل كانت الكلاب تأتي وتلحس قروحه.22 فمات المسكين وحملته الملائكة الى حضن ابراهيم. ومات الغني ايضا ودفن.23 فرفع عينيه في الهاوية وهو في العذاب ورأى ابراهيم من بعيد ولعازر في حضنه.24 فنادى وقال يا ابي ابراهيم ارحمني وارسل لعازر ليبل طرف اصبعه بماء ويبرّد لساني لاني معذب في هذا اللهيب.25 فقال ابراهيم يا ابني اذكر انك استوفيت خيراتك في حياتك وكذلك لعازر البلايا. والآن هو يتعزى وانت تتعذب.26 وفوق هذا كله بيننا وبينكم هوّة عظيمة قد أثبتت حتى ان الذين يريدون العبور من ههنا اليكم لا يقدرون ولا الذين من هناك يجتازون الينا.27 فقال اسألك اذا يا ابت ان ترسله الى بيت ابي.28 لان لي خمسة اخوة. حتى يشهد لهم لكي لا يأتوا هم ايضا الى موضع العذاب هذا.29 قال له ابراهيم عندهم موسى والانبياء. ليسمعوا منهم.30 فقال لا يا ابي ابراهيم. بل اذا مضى اليهم واحد من الاموات يتوبون.31 فقال له ان كانوا لا يسمعون من موسى والانبياء ولا ان قام واحد من الاموات يصدقون

1 And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods.2 And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of you? give an account of your stewardship; for you may be no longer steward.3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes 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' debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owe you to my lord?6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.7 Then said he to another, And how much owe you? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said to him, Take your 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 to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when you 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 you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?12 And if you have not been faithful in that which is another man', 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. You 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 to them, You are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knows 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 presses into it.17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one pronunciation mark of the law to fail.18 Whoever puts away his wife, and marries another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her that is put away from her husband commits 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' 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' bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and sees 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 you in your lifetime received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are 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 there.27 Then he said, I pray you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father' house:28 For I have five brothers; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.30 And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.31 And he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
