路加福音 16
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
不义的管家
16 耶稣又对门徒说:“有一个财主的管家,有人在他主人面前告他浪费主人的财物。 2 主人把他叫来,对他说:‘我听见关于你的是怎么一回事呢?把你管理的帐目交代清楚,因为你不能再作管家了。’ 3 那管家心里说:‘主人不要我再作管家了,我作甚么才好呢?锄地吧,没有力气!讨饭吧,怕羞! 4 我知道要怎么作了,好使人在我离开管家的职务以后,接我到他们家里去。’ 5 于是把欠他主人债的人,一个一个地叫来,问头一个说:‘你欠我主人多少?’ 6 他说:‘四千公升油。’管家说:‘拿你的欠单去,快坐下写二千。’ 7 又问一个说:‘你欠多少?’他说:‘四万公升麦子。’管家说:‘拿你的欠单去,写三万。’ 8 主人就夸奖这不义的管家作事机警;因为在应付自己的世事上,今世之子比光明之子更精明。 9 我告诉你们,要用不义的钱财(“钱财”亚兰文是“玛门”)去结交朋友,好叫钱财无用的时候,他们可以接你们到永恒的帐棚里。 10 在最小的事上忠心的,在大事上也忠心;在最小的事上不义的,在大事上也不义。 11 如果你们在不义的钱财上不忠心,谁还把真实的钱财托付给你们呢? 12 如果你们在别人的东西上不忠心,谁还把你们自己的东西交给你们呢?
不能服事两个主人(A)
13 “一个家仆不能服事两个主人;他若不是恨这个爱那个,就是忠于这个轻视那个。你们不能服事 神,又服事金钱。” 14 贪财的法利赛人听见这些话,就嗤笑耶稣。 15 耶稣对他们说:“你们在人面前自称为义, 神却知道你们的心;因为人所高举的, 神却看作是可憎恶的。 16 律法和先知到约翰就结束了。从此, 神的国的福音就传开了,人人都要努力进去。 17 天地过去,要比律法的一点一画失效还容易呢。 18 凡休妻另娶的,就犯了奸淫;娶被丈夫所休的,也是犯了奸淫。
财主与拉撒路
19 “有一个财主,身穿紫色袍和细麻衣,天天奢华宴乐。 20 又有一个乞丐,名叫拉撒路,满身是疮,被人放在财主门口, 21 想得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥;并且有狗来舔他的疮。 22 后来乞丐死了,被天使送到亚伯拉罕的怀里。那财主也死了,并且埋葬了。 23 财主在阴间受痛苦,举目远远望见亚伯拉罕,和他怀里的拉撒路, 24 就喊着说:‘我祖亚伯拉罕啊,可怜我吧!打发拉撒路来用指头蘸点水,凉凉我的舌头吧!因为我在这火焰里非常痛苦。’ 25 亚伯拉罕说:‘孩子,你应该回想你生前享过福,同样拉撒路受过苦,现在他在这里得安慰,你却要受苦了。 26 不但这样,我们与你们之间,有深渊隔开,人想从这边过到你们那里是不可能的,从那边过到我们这边也是不可能的。’ 27 那人说:‘我祖啊,那么求你差遣拉撒路到我家里去, 28 因为我有五个兄弟,他可以警告他们,免得他们也到这受苦的地方来。’ 29 亚伯拉罕说:‘他们有摩西和先知可以听从。’ 30 他说:‘不然,我祖亚伯拉罕啊,如果有人从死人中复活,到他们那里去,他们必定会悔改。’ 31 亚伯拉罕说:‘如果他们不听从摩西和先知,就算有一个从死人中复活的人,他们也不会接受劝告。’”
Luke 16

The Unrighteous Manager
16 Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was [a]reported to him as (A)squandering his possessions. 2 And he summoned him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ 3 And the manager said to himself, ‘What am I to do, since my [b]master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to [c]dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’ 5 And he summoned each one of his [d]master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ 6 And he said, ‘A hundred [e]jugs of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 7 Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred [f]kors of wheat.’ He *said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8 And his [g]master complimented the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of (B)this age are more shrewd in relation to their own [h]kind than the (C)sons of light. 9 And I say to you, (D)make friends for yourselves by means of the [i](E)wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it [j]is all gone, (F)they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.
10 “(G)The one who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and the one who is unrighteous in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much. 11 Therefore if you have not [k]been faithful in the use of unrighteous [l](H)wealth, who will entrust the true wealth to you? 12 And if you have not [m]been faithful in the use of that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? 13 (I)No [n]servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [o](J)wealth.”
14 Now the Pharisees, who were (K)lovers of money, were listening to all these things and (L)were [p]ridiculing Him. 15 And He said to them, “You are the ones who (M)justify yourselves in the sight of people, but (N)God knows your hearts; because that which is highly esteemed among people is detestable in the sight of God.
16 “(O)The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John came; since that time (P)the gospel of the kingdom of God [q]has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17 (Q)But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one [r]stroke of a letter of the Law to fail.
18 “(R)Everyone who [s]divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries one who is [t]divorced from a husband commits adultery.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, enjoying himself in splendor every day. 20 And a poor man named Lazarus (S)was laid at his gate, covered with sores, 21 and longing to be fed from the scraps which fell from the rich man’s table; not only that, the dogs also were coming and licking his sores. 22 Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to [u](T)Abraham’s arms; and the rich man also died and was buried. 23 And in (U)Hades he raised his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his [v]arms. 24 And he cried out and said, ‘(V)Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in (W)this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that (X)during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 And [w]besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set, so that those who want to go over from here to you will not be able, nor will any people cross over from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I request of you, father, that you send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may (Y)warn them, so that they will not come to this place of torment as well.’ 29 But Abraham *said, ‘They have [x](Z)Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 But he said, ‘No, (AA)father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
