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。』」

路 加 福 音 16
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
真正的财富
16 耶稣对门徒们说∶“从前,某财主有一个管家,有人告这个管家的状,说他挥霍主人的钱财, 2 于是,那个财主就把管家叫来,问他∶‘我听说的是怎么一回事呢?把你经管的事情向我作一个交待,因为我不让你再当管家了。’ 3 管家心想∶‘我该怎么办呢?我的主人辞掉我管家的职务,可我又没有力气去锄地;也羞于去讨饭。 4 我知道我该怎么办了,那样当主人辞掉我管家的职务时,人们将把我接到他们家里去。’ 5 于是,他把债户一一叫来。他对第一个人说∶‘你欠我的主人多少呢?’那个人说: 6 ‘一百桶橄榄油。’于是管家对他说‘这是你的账单,坐下来,赶快改写成五十桶。’ 7 然后,他又对另一个人欠债的人说∶‘你呢,你欠多少?’那个人说∶‘一百担麦子。’管家说∶‘这是你的账单,坐下来,改写八十担。’ 8 主人得知这件事后,把这个不诚实的管家夸奖了一番,因为他做事精明。是啊,这个世界的人们在处理他们自己的事务时,要比光明磊落的人们精明的多。
9 “我告诉你们吧,要用尘世的财富为你们自己广交朋友,所以,当钱财用尽的时候,你的朋友们就会把你接到永恒的家里去。 10 在小事上诚实的人,在大事上也会诚实;在小事上不诚实的人,在大事上也会不诚实。 11 如果你们在处理世间的财富上都得不到信赖,那么谁会把真正的财富托付给你们呢? 12 如果你们在处理属于别人的东西上得不到信赖,那么,谁又会把你们自己的东西给你们呢?
13 “你们不能同时服侍两个主人,你们会恨这个,爱那个;或者忠诚一个,轻视另一个,你们不可能同时既侍奉上帝、又侍奉金钱。”
上帝的律法不能更改
14 那些喜爱金钱的法利赛人听到这里,就讥笑耶稣。 15 耶稣便对他们说∶“你们这些人在人们面前装好人,但是,上帝知道你们的内心。因为,世人看重的事情对上帝却毫无价值。 16 律法和先知的著作直到约翰的到来都是有约束力的。自从约翰的到来,上帝的王国的福音得到了传播,很多人都拼命的想进去。 17 然而,天地的消逝比涂抹律法的一笔一划还要容易。
离婚和再婚
18 “任何男人与妻子离了婚,又另娶别的女人,他就犯了通奸罪;娶了离了婚的女人的男人也犯了通奸罪。
富人与拉撒路
19 “从前,有一个富人,每天穿着华丽的衣服,过着奢侈享乐的生活。 20 有一个名字叫拉撒路的穷人,他浑身生疮,常常躺在财主家的大门口。 21 他每天都盼望着用财主桌上掉下来的残羹剩饭充饥,甚至连狗都跑过来舔他的疮。 22 后来,这个可怜的人死了,天使把他抬到了亚伯拉罕的身边。然后,那个财主也死了,并被埋葬, 23 在地狱里他受着折磨,他抬头望去,看到了远处的亚伯拉罕,还看到了拉撒路站在他的身边。 24 财主便大喊道∶‘我父亚伯拉罕,可怜可怜我吧!请派拉撒路来吧,好让他用指头蘸点水,凉凉我的舌头吧,因为我在这火焰里痛苦不堪!’ 25 但是,亚伯拉罕说∶‘我的儿子,你要记住,你在生前,享受了一切美好的事物,而拉撒路却受尽了苦难。但是,现在他在这里舒舒服服的,而你却在痛苦之中。 26 不仅仅如此,而且我们和你们之间有一道深沟,所以,我这边想过去的人过不去,你们那边想过来的人也过不来。’ 27 财主说∶‘如果是这样的话,我乞求您,父亲,派拉撒路到我父亲家去, 28 因为我有五个兄弟,让拉撒路告诫他们,以便将来他们不会到这个受尽折磨的地方来。’ 29 但是,亚伯拉罕说∶‘他们有摩西的律法和先知的著作,让你的兄弟去听从它们的话吧。’ 30 那个财主又说∶‘不行啊,父亚伯拉罕,如果让死人到他们那里去,他们才会悔改。’ 31 亚伯拉罕对他说∶‘如果他们不听摩西和先知的教导,即使有人从死里复活,也不会使他们信服的。’”
Luke 16
King James Version
16 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.
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.
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.
4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
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?
6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
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.
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.
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.
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.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
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.
14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
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 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
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.
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;
23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
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.
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.
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.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
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.
