DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - Luke - 16

16:1  And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.

16:1  Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos : Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum : et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.

16:1  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.

16:2  And he called him and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.

16:2  Et vocavit illum, et ait illi : Quid hoc audio de te ? redde rationem villicationis tuæ : jam enim non poteris villicare.

16:2  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.

16:3  And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.

16:3  Ait autem villicus intra se : Quid faciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem ? Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco.

16:3  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.

16:4  I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

16:4  Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas.

16:4  I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.

16:5  Therefore, calling together every one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?

16:5  Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo : Quantum debes domino meo ?

16:5  So he called every one of his lord’s debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?

16:6  But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.

16:6  At ille dixit : Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi : Accipe cautionem tuam : et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta.

16:6  And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.

16:7  Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill and write eighty.

16:7  Deinde alii dixit : Tu vero quantum debes ? Qui ait : Centum coros tritici. Ait illi : Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta.

16:7  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.

16:8  And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.

16:8  Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset : quia filii hujus sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt.

16:8  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.

16:9  And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity: that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.

16:9  Et ego vobis dico : facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis : ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula.

16:9  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.

16:10  He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little is unjust also in that which is greater.

16:10  Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in majori fidelis est : et qui in modico iniquus est, et in majori iniquus est.

16:10  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.

16:11  If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon, who will trust you with that which is the true?

16:11  Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis ?

16:11  If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

16:12  And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own?

16:12  Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis ?

16:12  And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?

16:13  No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other: or he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

16:13  Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire : aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget : aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ.

16:13  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.

16:14  Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

16:14  Audiebant autem omnia hæc pharisæi, qui erant avari : et deridebant illum.

16:14  And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.

16:15  And he said to them: you are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is high to men is an abomination before God.

16:15  Et ait illis : Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus : Deus autem novit corda vestra : quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.

16:15  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.

16:16  The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is preached: and every one useth violence towards it.

16:16  Lex et prophetæ usque ad Joannem : ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.

16:16  The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one tittle of the law to fall.

16:17  Facilius est autem cælum et terram præterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere.

16:17  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

16:18  Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

16:18  Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, mœchatur : et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur.

16:18  Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

16:19  There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and feasted sumptuously every day.

16:19  Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide.

16:19  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

16:20  And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,

16:20  Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus,

16:20  And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,

16:21  Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table. And no one did give him: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

16:21  cupiens saturari de micis quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat : sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus.

16:21  And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.

16:22  And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.

16:22  Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno.

16:22  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;

16:23  And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom:

16:23  Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus :

16:23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

16:24  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 to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.

16:24  et ipse clamans dixit : Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma.

16:24  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.

16:25  And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art tormented.

16:25  Et dixit illi Abraham : Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala : nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris :

16:25  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.

16:26  And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you cannot, nor from thence come hither.

16:26  et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est : ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.

16:26  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.

16:27  And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee that thou wouldst send him to my father's house, for I have five brethren,

16:27  Et ait : Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei :

16:27  Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

16:28  That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.

16:28  habeo enim quinque fratres : ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.

16:28  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

16:29  And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.

16:29  Et ait illi Abraham : Habent Moysen et prophetas : audiant illos.

16:29  Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

16:30  But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.

16:30  At ille dixit : Non, pater Abraham : sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent.

16:30  And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

16:31  And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.

16:31  Ait autem illi : Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.

16:31  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
