Evanjelium Podľa Lukáša 16
Nádej pre kazdého
Podobenstvo o nepoctivom správcovi
16 Potom Ježiš porozprával učeníkom iný príbeh: Jeden boháč mal správcu a toho obvinili zo sprenevery.
2 Pán si ho dal zavolať a povedal mu:Čo to o tebe počúvam? Predlož mi všetky účty, a ak si ma podvádzal, dám ti výpoveď.
3 Správca rozmýšľal:Čo teraz? Lopatou sa neuživím a žobrať sa hanbím.
4 Ale už viem, ako si získať priateľov. Možno mi pomôžu zohnať slušné miesto, ak budem prepustený!
5 Zavolal si jedného po druhom dlžníkov svojho pána a spýtal sa prvého:Koľko si dlžný môjmu pánovi?
6 Dlžník povedal:Sto džbánov olivového oleja. Správca mu poradil:Tu máš svoj dlžobný úpis, sadni si a napíš nový na päťdesiat.
7 Potom sa spýtal druhého dlžníka:A ty si koľko dlžný? Odpovedal:Sto vriec pšenice. Správca mu poradil:Vezmi si dlžobný úpis a napíš nový na osemdesiat.
8 Pán napokon prefíkaného správcu pochválil, že si počínal prezieravo. Treba priznať, že ľudia tohto sveta bývajú prezieravejší, keď im ide o zisk, ako veriaci, keď ide o večný život.
9 Hovorím vám, na peniazoch lipne veľa špiny. Ak však nimi niekomu pomôžete, premeníte ich na hodnotu, ktorá sa vám vráti vo večnosti."
10 Ježiš pokračoval: Kto je spoľahlivý v drobnostiach, je spoľahlivý aj v podstatných veciach. A ten, kto je nepoctivý v maličkostiach, zlyháva aj v závažných veciach.
11 A ak ste teda nepoctiví v pozemských veciach, kto môže dôverovať vašej viere v Boha? Ak neviete správne zaobchádzať s nespravodlivými peniazmi, kto vám zverí pravé bohatstvo?
12 Ak ste neboli verní v cudzom, kto vám dá, čo je vaše?
13 Ani jeden sluha nemôže slúžiť dvom pánom. Lebo buď jedného bude zanedbávať a druhému obetavo slúžiť, alebo prvému dá prednosť a druhého zanedbá. Nemôžete slúžiť Bohu i mamone."
Nové meradlá
14 Počuli to farizeji, ktorí sa pachtili za peniazmi, a vysmiali sa mu.
15 Ale Ježiš im povedal: Robíte dobrý dojem na ľudí svojou zbožnosťou, ale Boh pozná vaše srdce. Svojou vznešenou honosnosťou si získavate obdiv ľudí, ale Boh ňou pohŕda.
16 Obdobie Zákona a prorokov sa skončilo Jánom Krstiteľom. Teraz počujete radostnú správu, že prišlo Božie kráľovstvo, a kdekto si robí nárok na vstup do neho.
17 Ale nemýľte sa, skôr pominie nebo aj zem, ako by jediná z požiadaviek Božieho zákona stratila platnosť.
18 Napríklad, kto sa rozvádza so svojou ženou a berie si inú, previňuje sa proti prikázaniunescudzoložíš; a kto sa žení s rozvedenou, takisto cudzoloží."
Boháč a Lazár
19 Bol raz jeden bohatý človek, ktorý sa honosne obliekal, každý deň hodoval a oddával sa pôžitkom.
20 Pri bráne jeho domu líhal žobrák Lazár. Telo mal samý vred.
21 Aby si zahnal hlad, čakal na zvyšky z boháčovho stola. Neraz pribehli psy a oblizovali mu otvorené rany.
22 Lazár zomrel a anjeli ho preniesli do raja, kde sa stretol s Abrahámom. Krátko nato zomrel aj boháč. Pochovali ho a jeho duša sa dostala do pekla.
23 Tam v mukách zdvihol oči a v diaľke zazrel Abraháma spolu s Lazárom.
24 Otec Abrahám, zmiluj sa nado mnou, zavolal.Pošli Lazára, aby si omočil koniec prsta vo vode a zvlažil mi jazyk, lebo trpím v tomto plameni.
25 Ale Abrahám mu odpovedal:Synu, rozpomeň sa, že ty si žil na zemi v prepychu a hojnosti, no Lazár v biede a utrpení. Teraz sa on má dobre a ty trpíš.
26 Okrem toho vás delí obrovská priepasť, ktorú nik nemôže prekonať, aj keby chcel.
27 Nato boháč povedal:Tak ťa prosím, otec Abrahám, pošli ho aspoň k mojim piatim bratom,
28 nech ich varuje, aby sa aj oni nedostali na toto miesto múk.
29 Ale Abrahám mu odpovedal:Majú predsa Písmo, môžu sa správať podľa neho.
30 Boháč namietal:Nie, otec Abrahám, na Písmo oni nedajú, ale keby niekto vstal z mŕtvych, tomu by uverili a odvrátili sa od svojich hriechov.
31 Abrahám povedal:Ak nedajú na Mojžišov zákon a prorokov, nedajú sa presvedčiť, aj keby niekto vstal z mŕtvych. "
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.
