Lucas 16
O Livro
O negociante esperto
16 Jesus contou ainda aos discípulos: “Um homem rico contratou um feitor para lhe administrar os negócios, mas logo começou a constatar que o indivíduo era esbanjador. 2 Então o patrão chamou-o e disse-lhe: ‘Que é isto que me contam? Põe as tuas contas em ordem porque estás despedido.’
3 O feitor pensou consigo: ‘E agora? Estou liquidado. Para cavar não tenho força e de mendigar tenho vergonha. 4 Já sei como arranjar muitos amigos que cuidem de mim quando me for embora!’
5 Convocou os devedores do patrão e perguntou ao primeiro: ‘Quanto lhe deves?’
6 ‘Três mil litros de azeite.’
‘Aqui está o contrato que assinaste’, disse o administrador. ‘Rasga-o e escreve outro por metade disso.’
7 ‘E tu, quanto lhe deves?’, perguntou ao segundo.
‘35 000 litros de trigo.’
‘Vá, toma o teu compromisso e troca-o por outro de apenas 28 000 litros!’
8 O homem rico não pôde deixar de admirar a astúcia daquele homem desonesto.
As pessoas deste mundo são mais espertas nos negócios do que os crentes. 9 Por isso, digo-vos, usem a riqueza deste mundo injusto para ajudar outros e fazer amigos. Desta maneira, serão acolhidos nas habitações eternas. 10 Quem for fiel nas coisas pequenas, sê-lo-á também nas grandes; e quem for desonesto nas coisas pequenas, sê-lo-á também nas grandes. 11 Por conseguinte, se forem fiéis nas riquezas injustas, as deste mundo, quem vos confiará a verdadeira riqueza, a do céu? 12 Se não são fiéis com o dinheiro dos outros, porque vos há de ser confiado o vosso próprio?
13 Pois nenhum servo pode servir dois patrões: Deus e o dinheiro. Porque, ao desprezar um, acaba por preferir o outro. Vocês não podem servir a Deus e ao dinheiro.”
14 Os fariseus, que eram avarentos, ridicularizavam-no por tudo isto. 15 Então Jesus disse-lhes: “Vocês são daqueles que se justificam a si mesmos diante dos outros, mas Deus conhece o vosso coração. O que é altamente avaliado entre as pessoas é cotado de maneira inteiramente diferente por Deus.
A Lei de Moisés e as boas novas
(Mt 11.12-13; 5.18, 31-32)
16 Até João Batista começar a pregar, vigoravam a Lei de Moisés e as mensagens dos profetas. Agora as boas novas do reino de Deus são anunciadas e todos exercem força para entrar nele. 17 É mais fácil que o céu e a Terra passem do que cair um só traço da Lei.”
18 Disse ainda: “Quem se divorciar da sua mulher e se casar com outra comete adultério; e quem casar com uma mulher divorciada comete adultério também.”
O rico e Lázaro
19 “Havia um certo homem rico”, contou Jesus, “que se vestia elegantemente e vivia todos os dias no prazer e no luxo. 20 Um mendigo, chamado Lázaro, cheio de doenças, costumava estar deitado à sua porta. 21 Desejava comer ao menos as sobras da mesa desse rico, mas só tinha cachorros que vinham lamber-lhe as feridas. 22 Um dia, o mendigo faleceu e foi levado pelos anjos para junto de Abraão. Também o rico morreu e foi sepultado. 23 Ali, no inferno, viu Lázaro lá longe com Abraão.
24 ‘Pai Abraão’, gritou, ‘tem misericórdia de mim! Manda Lázaro vir ter comigo, nem que seja para molhar a ponta do dedo em água e refrescar-me a língua, pois estou atormentado nestas chamas!’
25 ‘Filho’, respondeu-lhe Abraão, ‘lembra-te de que durante a tua vida tiveste tudo quanto querias, enquanto Lázaro nada teve! Ele está aqui a ser consolado e tu estás em tormentos. 26 Além disso, há um grande abismo que nos separa e que ninguém pode transpor.’
27 ‘Ó pai Abraão, manda-o a casa de meu pai’, retorquiu o rico, 28 ‘pois tenho cinco irmãos e é preciso avisá-los para que não venham para este lugar de sofrimento quando morrerem.’
29 Mas Abraão declarou-lhe: ‘Têm as Escrituras de Moisés e dos profetas. Ouçam os seus avisos!’
30 ‘Não, pai Abraão! Se alguém de entre os mortos for ter com eles, arrepender-se-ão.’
31 ‘Se eles não ouvem Moisés e os profetas, não ouvirão nem mesmo alguém que se levante de entre os mortos.’ ”
路加福音 16
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
不义的管家
16 耶稣又对门徒说：“某财主有一个管家，有人向主人告管家浪费他的财物。 2 主人叫他来，对他说：‘我听到了，你做的是什么事？把你所经管的交代清楚，你不能再作我的管家了。’ 3 那管家心里说：‘主人辞我，不用我再作管家，我将来做什么呢？锄地嘛，没有力气；讨饭嘛，怕羞。 4 我知道怎么做，好叫人们在我不作管家之后，接我到他们家里去。’ 5 于是他把欠他主人债的，一个一个地叫了来，问头一个说：‘你欠我主人多少？’ 6 他说：‘一百篓[a]油。’管家对他说：‘拿你的账，快坐下，写五十。’ 7 他问另一个说：‘你欠多少？’他说：‘一百石麦子。’管家对他说：‘拿你的账，写八十。’ 8 主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事精明，因为今世之子应付自己的世代比光明之子更加精明。 9 我又告诉你们，要藉着那不义的钱财结交朋友，到了钱财无用的时候，他们可以接你们到永远的住处[b]去。 10 人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不义，在大事上也不义。 11 若是你们在不义的钱财上不忠心，谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢？ 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给你们呢？ 13 一个仆人不能服侍两个主；他不是恨这个爱那个，就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又服侍 神，又服侍玛门[c]。”
律法和 神的国(A)
14 法利赛人是贪爱钱财的；他们听见这一切话，就嘲笑耶稣。 15 耶稣对他们说：“你们是在人面前自称为义的，你们的心， 神却知道；因为人以为尊贵的，是 神看为可憎恶的。 16 律法和先知到约翰为止，从此 神国的福音传开了，人人努力要进去。 17 天地废去比律法的一点一画落空还要容易。 18 凡休妻另娶的，就是犯奸淫；娶被丈夫休了的妇人的，也是犯奸淫。”
财主和拉撒路
19 “有一个财主穿着紫色袍和细麻布衣服，天天奢华宴乐。 20 又有一个讨饭的，名叫拉撒路，浑身长疮，被人放在财主门口， 21 想得财主桌子上掉下来的碎食充饥，甚至还有狗来舔他的疮。 22 后来那讨饭的死了，被天使带去放在亚伯拉罕的怀里。财主也死了，并且埋葬了。 23 他在阴间受苦，举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕，又望见拉撒路在他怀里， 24 他就喊着说：‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪，可怜我吧！请打发拉撒路来，用指头尖蘸点水，凉凉我的舌头，因为我在这火焰里，极其痛苦。’ 25 亚伯拉罕说：‘孩子啊，你该回想你生前享过福，拉撒路也同样受过苦，如今他在这里得安慰，你却受痛苦。 26 除此之外，在你们和我们之间，有深渊隔开，以致人要从这边过到你们那边是不可能的；要从那边过到这边也是不可能的。’ 27 财主说：‘我祖啊，既然这样，求你打发拉撒路到我父家去， 28 因为我还有五个兄弟，他可以警告他们，免得他们也来到这痛苦的地方。’ 29 亚伯拉罕说：‘他们有摩西和先知的话可以听从。’ 30 他说：‘不！我祖亚伯拉罕哪，假如有一个人从死人中到他们那里去，他们一定会悔改。’ 31 亚伯拉罕对他说：‘如果他们不听从摩西和先知的话，就是有人从死人中复活，他们也不会信服的。’”
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.
