路加福音 16
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
善用錢財
16 耶穌又對門徒說:「某財主有個管家,有人控告這管家浪費主人的財物。 2 財主便把管家召來,對他說,『聽說你浪費我的財物,到底是怎麼回事?把帳目交代清楚,你不能再當管家了。』
3 「管家私下盤算,『主人要辭退我了,怎麼辦呢?鋤地我沒有力氣,討飯我又感到羞恥。 4 我知道該怎麼辦了!就算被辭退了,也會有人照應我。』 5 於是,他把欠他主人債的一個一個召來,問第一個,『你欠了我主人多少?』
6 「他回答說,『一百桶油。』
「管家說,『這是你的帳,快坐下,改成五十吧!』
7 「管家又問另一個,『你欠多少?』
「他回答說,『一百石麥子。』
「管家說,『這是你的帳,改成八十石吧。』
8 「主人誇獎這個不義的管家精明。因為今世的兒女在處理世事方面比光明的兒女更精明。
9 「我告訴你們,要善用今世[a]的錢財,廣結朋友。這樣,當錢財不管用時,他們會接你們到永遠的居所。
見微知著
10 「一個人在小事上忠心,在大事上也會忠心;在小事上靠不住,在大事上更靠不住。 11 如果你們不能忠心地處理今世的財富,誰會把真正的財富交託給你們呢? 12 如果你們不能忠心地處理別人的產業,誰會把你們名下的產業交給你們呢? 13 一個僕人不能服侍兩位主人,因為他不是恨這位、愛那位,就是重這位、輕那位。你們不能又事奉上帝,又崇拜金錢。」
警戒貪財的法利賽人
14 法利賽人向來貪財,他們一面聽一面嗤笑耶穌。 15 耶穌對他們說:「你們在人面前自以為義,但上帝能看透你們的心。因為世人所看重的東西在上帝看來卻是可憎的。 16 約翰還沒有來以前,律法書和先知書是你們的準則。他出來後,上帝國的福音開始廣傳,人人都在努力進上帝的國。 17 不過,就是天地都消失,律法的一點一劃也不會失效。 18 任何人休妻另娶,就是犯通姦罪,娶被休的女子也是犯通姦罪。」
財主和乞丐
19 耶穌又說:「有個財主天天衣著華麗,生活奢侈。 20 又有一個名叫拉撒路的乞丐身上長滿了膿瘡,被人放在財主家門口。 21 他渴望吃到財主桌上掉下來的食物殘渣,卻只有狗來舔他的瘡。
22 「後來,乞丐死了,天使帶他到亞伯拉罕身邊。財主也死了,被人埋葬了。 23 他在陰間受折磨,抬頭遠遠地看見亞伯拉罕和他身邊的拉撒路, 24 就喊著說,『我的先祖亞伯拉罕啊!求你可憐我,派拉撒路用指尖蘸點水來潤潤我的舌頭吧!我在這火中實在痛苦不堪。』
25 「亞伯拉罕說,『孩子啊!你要想想,你生前享福,而拉撒路受苦;如今他在這裡得到安慰,而你受折磨。 26 況且,在你我中間隔著一道深淵,這邊的人不能到你那邊去,你那邊的人也不能到這裡來。』
27 「財主說,『我的先祖啊,那麼求你派拉撒路去我父親家裡, 28 因為我有五個弟兄。讓拉撒路去警告他們,以免他們也來到這痛苦的地方。』
29 「但是亞伯拉罕卻說,『他們可以聽從摩西和眾先知的話呀!』
30 「財主回答說,『我的先祖亞伯拉罕啊!他們不會聽的。但如果有一個死而復活的人去警告他們,他們肯定會悔改!』
31 「亞伯拉罕說,『如果他們不聽從摩西和眾先知的話,即使一個人從死裡復活,他們也不會信服。』」

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
不義的管家
16 耶穌又對門徒說:“有一個財主的管家,有人在他主人面前告他浪費主人的財物。 2 主人把他叫來,對他說:‘我聽見關於你的是怎麼一回事呢?把你管理的帳目交代清楚,因為你不能再作管家了。’ 3 那管家心裡說:‘主人不要我再作管家了,我作甚麼才好呢?鋤地吧,沒有力氣!討飯吧,怕羞! 4 我知道要怎麼作了,好使人在我離開管家的職務以後,接我到他們家裡去。’ 5 於是把欠他主人債的人,一個一個地叫來,問頭一個說:‘你欠我主人多少?’ 6 他說:‘四千公升油。’管家說:‘拿你的欠單去,快坐下寫二千。’ 7 又問一個說:‘你欠多少?’他說:‘四萬公升麥子。’管家說:‘拿你的欠單去,寫三萬。’ 8 主人就誇獎這不義的管家作事機警;因為在應付自己的世事上,今世之子比光明之子更精明。 9 我告訴你們,要用不義的錢財(“錢財”亞蘭文是“瑪門”)去結交朋友,好叫錢財無用的時候,他們可以接你們到永恆的帳棚裡。 10 在最小的事上忠心的,在大事上也忠心;在最小的事上不義的,在大事上也不義。 11 如果你們在不義的錢財上不忠心,誰還把真實的錢財託付給你們呢? 12 如果你們在別人的東西上不忠心,誰還把你們自己的東西交給你們呢?
不能服事兩個主人(A)
13 “一個家僕不能服事兩個主人;他若不是恨這個愛那個,就是忠於這個輕視那個。你們不能服事 神,又服事金錢。” 14 貪財的法利賽人聽見這些話,就嗤笑耶穌。 15 耶穌對他們說:“你們在人面前自稱為義, 神卻知道你們的心;因為人所高舉的, 神卻看作是可憎惡的。 16 律法和先知到約翰就結束了。從此, 神的國的福音就傳開了,人人都要努力進去。 17 天地過去,要比律法的一點一畫失效還容易呢。 18 凡休妻另娶的,就犯了姦淫;娶被丈夫所休的,也是犯了姦淫。
財主與拉撒路
19 “有一個財主,身穿紫色袍和細麻衣,天天奢華宴樂。 20 又有一個乞丐,名叫拉撒路,滿身是瘡,被人放在財主門口, 21 想得財主桌子上掉下來的零碎充飢;並且有狗來舔他的瘡。 22 後來乞丐死了,被天使送到亞伯拉罕的懷裡。那財主也死了,並且埋葬了。 23 財主在陰間受痛苦,舉目遠遠望見亞伯拉罕,和他懷裡的拉撒路, 24 就喊著說:‘我祖亞伯拉罕啊,可憐我吧!打發拉撒路來用指頭蘸點水,涼涼我的舌頭吧!因為我在這火燄裡非常痛苦。’ 25 亞伯拉罕說:‘孩子,你應該回想你生前享過福,同樣拉撒路受過苦,現在他在這裡得安慰,你卻要受苦了。 26 不但這樣,我們與你們之間,有深淵隔開,人想從這邊過到你們那裡是不可能的,從那邊過到我們這邊也是不可能的。’ 27 那人說:‘我祖啊,那麼求你差遣拉撒路到我家裡去, 28 因為我有五個兄弟,他可以警告他們,免得他們也到這受苦的地方來。’ 29 亞伯拉罕說:‘他們有摩西和先知可以聽從。’ 30 他說:‘不然,我祖亞伯拉罕啊,如果有人從死人中復活,到他們那裡去,他們必定會悔改。’ 31 亞伯拉罕說:‘如果他們不聽從摩西和先知,就算有一個從死人中復活的人,他們也不會接受勸告。’”
Luke 16
New International Version
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.’”
