15 And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.
16 And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:
17 And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.
18 And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.
20 But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?
21 So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
15 于是他对众人说： "你们要谨慎， 远离一切贪心， 因为人的生命并不在于家道丰富。"
16 就对他们讲了一个比喻， 说： "有一个富翁的田地丰收。
17 他自己心里说： ‘怎么办呢？因为我没有足够的地方收藏出产了！ ’
18 又说： ‘我要这样办： 我要拆掉这些仓房， 建造更大的， 好在那里收藏我的一切粮食和货物。
19 然后， 我要对我的灵魂说： 灵魂啊， 你拥有许多好东西， 足够多年享用， 只管安安逸逸地吃喝快乐吧！ ’
20 神却对他说： ‘无知的人哪， 今天晚上， 你拥有的就要取去你的灵魂， 你所预备的要归给谁呢？’
21 凡为自己积财， 在 神面前却不富足的， 也是这样。"
