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。』」

善用钱财
16 耶稣又对门徒说：“某财主有个管家，有人控告这管家浪费主人的财物。 2 财主便把管家召来，对他说，‘听说你浪费我的财物，到底是怎么回事？把帐目交代清楚，你不能再当管家了。’
3 “管家私下盘算，‘主人要辞退我了，怎么办呢？锄地我没有力气，讨饭我又感到羞耻。 4 我知道该怎么办了！就算被辞退了，也会有人照应我。’ 5 于是，他把欠他主人债的一个一个召来，问第一个，‘你欠了我主人多少？’
6 “他回答说，‘一百桶油。’
“管家说，‘这是你的帐，快坐下，改成五十吧！’
7 “管家又问另一个，‘你欠多少？’
“他回答说，‘一百石麦子。’
“管家说，‘这是你的帐，改成八十石吧。’
8 “主人夸奖这个不义的管家精明。因为今世的儿女在处理世事方面比光明的儿女更精明。
9 “我告诉你们，要善用今世[a]的钱财，广结朋友。这样，当钱财不管用时，他们会接你们到永远的居所。
见微知著
10 “一个人在小事上忠心，在大事上也会忠心；在小事上靠不住，在大事上更靠不住。 11 如果你们不能忠心地处理今世的财富，谁会把真正的财富交托给你们呢？ 12 如果你们不能忠心地处理别人的产业，谁会把你们名下的产业交给你们呢？ 13 一个仆人不能服侍两位主人，因为他不是恨这位、爱那位，就是重这位、轻那位。你们不能又事奉上帝，又崇拜金钱。”
警戒贪财的法利赛人
14 法利赛人向来贪财，他们一面听一面嗤笑耶稣。 15 耶稣对他们说：“你们在人面前自以为义，但上帝能看透你们的心。因为世人所看重的东西在上帝看来却是可憎的。 16 约翰还没有来以前，律法书和先知书是你们的准则。他出来后，上帝国的福音开始广传，人人都在努力进上帝的国。 17 不过，就是天地都消失，律法的一点一划也不会失效。 18 任何人休妻另娶，就是犯通奸罪，娶被休的女子也是犯通奸罪。”
财主和乞丐
19 耶稣又说：“有个财主天天衣着华丽，生活奢侈。 20 又有一个名叫拉撒路的乞丐身上长满了脓疮，被人放在财主家门口。 21 他渴望吃到财主桌上掉下来的食物残渣，却只有狗来舔他的疮。
22 “后来，乞丐死了，天使带他到亚伯拉罕身边。财主也死了，被人埋葬了。 23 他在阴间受折磨，抬头远远地看见亚伯拉罕和他身边的拉撒路， 24 就喊着说，‘我的先祖亚伯拉罕啊！求你可怜我，派拉撒路用指尖蘸点水来润润我的舌头吧！我在这火中实在痛苦不堪。’
25 “亚伯拉罕说，‘孩子啊！你要想想，你生前享福，而拉撒路受苦；如今他在这里得到安慰，而你受折磨。 26 况且，在你我中间隔着一道深渊，这边的人不能到你那边去，你那边的人也不能到这里来。’
27 “财主说，‘我的先祖啊，那么求你派拉撒路去我父亲家里， 28 因为我有五个弟兄。让拉撒路去警告他们，以免他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’
29 “但是亚伯拉罕却说，‘他们可以听从摩西和众先知的话呀！’
30 “财主回答说，‘我的先祖亚伯拉罕啊！他们不会听的。但如果有一个死而复活的人去警告他们，他们肯定会悔改！’
31 “亚伯拉罕说，‘如果他们不听从摩西和众先知的话，即使一个人从死里复活，他们也不会信服。’”

New International Reader's Version
The Story of the Clever Manager
16 Jesus told his disciples another story. He said, “There was a rich man who had a manager. Some said that the manager was wasting what the rich man owned. 2 So the rich man told him to come in. He asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Tell me exactly how you have handled what I own. You can’t be my manager any longer.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What will I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig. And I’m too ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I’m going to do. I’ll do something so that when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each person who owed his master something. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “ ‘I owe 900 gallons of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill. Sit down quickly and change it to 450 gallons.’
7 “Then he asked the second one, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“ ‘I owe 1,000 bushels of wheat,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill and change it to 800 bushels.’
8 “The manager had not been honest. But the master praised him for being clever. The people of this world are clever in dealing with those who are like themselves. They are more clever than God’s people. 9 I tell you, use the riches of this world to help others. In that way, you will make friends for yourselves. Then when your riches are gone, you will be welcomed into your eternal home in heaven.
10 “Suppose you can be trusted with something very little. Then you can also be trusted with something very large. But suppose you are not honest with something very little. Then you will also not be honest with something very large. 11 Suppose you have not been worthy of trust in handling worldly wealth. Then who will trust you with true riches? 12 Suppose you have not been worthy of trust in handling someone else’s property. Then who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters at the same time. Either you will hate one of them and love the other. Or you will be faithful to one and dislike the other. You can’t serve God and money at the same time.”
14 The Pharisees loved money. They heard all that Jesus said and made fun of him. 15 Jesus said to them, “You try to make yourselves look good in the eyes of other people. But God knows your hearts. What people think is worth a lot is hated by God.
More Teachings
16 “The teachings of the Law and the Prophets were preached until John the Baptist came. Since then, the good news of God’s kingdom is being preached. And everyone is trying very hard to enter it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest part of a letter to drop out of the Law.
18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery. Also, the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “Once there was a rich man. He was dressed in purple cloth and fine linen. He lived an easy life every day. 20 A man named Lazarus was placed at his gate. Lazarus was a beggar. His body was covered with sores. 21 Even dogs came and licked his sores. All he wanted was to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.
22 “The time came when the beggar died. The angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In the place of the dead, the rich man was suffering terribly. He looked up and saw Abraham far away. Lazarus was by his side. 24 So the rich man called out, ‘Father Abraham! Have pity on me! Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water. Then he can cool my tongue with it. I am in terrible pain in this fire.’
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember what happened in your lifetime. You received your good things. Lazarus received bad things. Now he is comforted here, and you are in terrible pain. 26 Besides, a wide space has been placed between us and you. So those who want to go from here to you can’t go. And no one can cross over from there to us.’
27 “The rich man answered, ‘Then I beg you, father Abraham. Send Lazarus to my family. 28 I have five brothers. Let Lazarus warn them. Then they will not come to this place of terrible suffering.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have the teachings of Moses and the Prophets. Let your brothers listen to them.’
30 “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said. ‘But if someone from the dead goes to them, they will turn away from their sins.’
31 “Abraham said to him, ‘They do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. So they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”
