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.
Luke 16
New International Version
The Parable of the Shrewd Manager
16 Jesus told his disciples: “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.(A) 2 So he called him in and asked him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.’
3 “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I’m not strong enough to dig, and I’m ashamed to beg— 4 I know what I’ll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.’
5 “So he called in each one of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 “‘Nine hundred gallons[a] of olive oil,’ he replied.
“The manager told him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.’
7 “Then he asked the second, ‘And how much do you owe?’
“‘A thousand bushels[b] of wheat,’ he replied.
“He told him, ‘Take your bill and make it eight hundred.’
8 “The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world(B) are more shrewd(C) in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light.(D) 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth(E) to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.(F)
10 “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,(G) and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth,(H) who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own?
13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”(I)
14 The Pharisees, who loved money,(J) heard all this and were sneering at Jesus.(K) 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves(L) in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts.(M) What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.
Additional Teachings
16 “The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John.(N) Since that time, the good news of the kingdom of God is being preached,(O) and everyone is forcing their way into it. 17 It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.(P)
18 “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.(Q)
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.(R) 20 At his gate was laid a beggar(S) named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table.(T) Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham,(U) have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’(V)
25 “But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things,(W) but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.(X) 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’
27 “He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them,(Y) so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’
29 “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses(Z) and the Prophets;(AA) let them listen to them.’
30 “‘No, father Abraham,’(AB) he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’
31 “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”
路加福音 16
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
不义的管家
16 耶稣又对门徒说:“有一个财主的管家,别人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物。 2 主人叫他来,对他说:‘我听见你这事怎么样呢?把你所经管的交代明白,因你不能再做我的管家。’ 3 那管家心里说:‘主人辞我,不用我再做管家,我将来做什么?锄地呢,无力;讨饭呢,怕羞。 4 我知道怎么行,好叫人在我不做管家之后,接我到他们家里去。’ 5 于是,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。’管家说:‘拿你的账,快坐下写五十。’ 7 又问一个说:‘你欠多少?’他说:‘一百石麦子。’管家说:‘拿你的账,写八十。’ 8 主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事聪明,因为今世之子在世事之上,较比光明之子更加聪明。 9 我又告诉你们:要借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存的帐幕里去。 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 倘若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 倘若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?
一个仆人不能侍奉两个主
13 “一个仆人不能侍奉两个主,不是恶这个爱那个,就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又侍奉神,又侍奉玛门。”
14 法利赛人是贪爱钱财的,他们听见这一切话,就嗤笑耶稣。 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。因为人所尊贵的,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 天地废去较比律法的一点一画落空还容易。
论休妻
18 “凡休妻另娶的,就是犯奸淫;娶被休之妻的,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,浑身生疮,被人放在财主门口, 21 要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥,并且狗来舔他的疮。 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 他在阴间受痛苦,举目远远地望见亚伯拉罕,又望见拉撒路在他怀里, 24 就喊着说:‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪,可怜我吧!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:‘儿啊,你该回想你生前享过福,拉撒路也受过苦;如今他在这里得安慰,你倒受痛苦。 26 不但这样,并且在你我之间有深渊限定,以致人要从这边过到你们那边是不能的,要从那边过到我们这边也是不能的。’ 27 财主说:‘我祖啊,既是这样,求你打发拉撒路到我父家去, 28 因为我还有五个弟兄,他可以对他们作见证,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:‘我祖亚伯拉罕哪,不是的,若有一个从死里复活的,到他们那里去的,他们必要悔改。’ 31 亚伯拉罕说:‘若不听从摩西和先知的话,就是有一个从死里复活的,他们也是不听劝。’”

Traducción en lenguaje actual
El empleado astuto
16 Jesús también les dijo a sus discípulos:
«Había una vez un hombre muy rico, que tenía un empleado encargado de cuidar todas sus riquezas; pero llegó a saber que ese empleado malgastaba su dinero. 2 Entonces lo llamó y le dijo: “¿Qué es todo esto que me han dicho de ti? Preséntame un informe de todo mi dinero y posesiones, porque ya no vas a trabajar más para mí.”
3 »El empleado pensó: “Ahora que mi patrón me despide del trabajo, ¿qué voy a hacer? No soy fuerte para hacer zanjas, y me da vergüenza pedir limosna. 4 ¡Ya sé lo que haré, para que algunos me reciban en sus casas cuando me despidan!”
5 »El empleado llamó a cada uno de los que le debían algo a su patrón, y al primero le preguntó: “¿Cuánto le debes a mi patrón?” 6 Aquel hombre contestó: “Le debo cien barriles de aceite de oliva.” El empleado le dijo: “Aquí está tu cuenta. Rápido, siéntate y, en lugar de cien barriles, anota cincuenta.” 7 Luego le preguntó a otro: “Y tú, ¿cuánto le debes a mi patrón?” Ese hombre respondió: “Diez mil kilos de trigo.” El empleado le dijo: “Toma tu cuenta y anota ocho mil kilos.”
8 »Al saber esto, el patrón felicitó al empleado deshonesto por ser tan astuto. Y es que, para atender sus propios negocios, la gente de este mundo es más astuta que los hijos de Dios.
9 »Por eso a ustedes, que son mis discípulos, yo les aconsejo que usen el dinero obtenido en forma deshonesta para ganar amigos. Así, cuando se les acabe ese dinero, Dios los recibirá en el cielo.
10 »Al que cuida bien lo que vale poco, también se le puede confiar lo que vale mucho. Y el que es deshonesto con lo de poco valor, también lo será con lo de mucho valor. 11 Si a ustedes no se les puede confiar algo que vale tan poco, como el dinero ganado deshonestamente, ¿quién les confiará lo que sí es valioso? 12 Y si no se les puede confiar lo que es de otra persona, ¿quién les dará lo que será de ustedes?
13 »Nadie puede ser esclavo de dos amos, porque preferirá a uno más que a otro. Y si obedece a uno, desobedecerá al otro. No se puede servir al mismo tiempo a Dios y al dinero.»
Otras enseñanzas de Jesús
14 A los fariseos les gustaba mucho el dinero. Por eso, cuando escucharon todo lo que Jesús decía, se burlaron de él. 15 Entonces Jesús les dijo:
«Ustedes tratan de aparecer delante de los demás como personas muy honestas, pero Dios los conoce muy bien. Lo que la mayoría de la gente considera de mucho valor, para Dios no vale nada.
16 »Hasta la época de Juan el Bautista, la gente ha tenido que obedecer la Ley y la enseñanza de los Profetas. Desde entonces, se anuncian las buenas noticias del reino de Dios, y todos luchan por entrar en él.
17 »Sin embargo, es más fácil que desaparezcan el cielo y la tierra, a que deje de cumplirse el detalle más insignificante de la Ley.
18 »Si un hombre se divorcia de su esposa y se casa con otra mujer, comete pecado, porque es infiel en el matrimonio. Si un hombre se casa con una mujer divorciada, también comete pecado.»
Lázaro y el hombre rico
Jesús también dijo:
19 «Había una vez un hombre muy rico, que vestía ropas muy lujosas. Hacía fiestas todos los días, y servía las comidas más caras. 20 En cambio, junto a la entrada de su casa había un hombre pobre, llamado Lázaro, que tenía la piel llena de llagas. Unas personas lo sentaban siempre allí, 21 y los perros venían a lamerle las llagas. Este pobre hombre tenía tanta hambre que deseaba comer, por lo menos, las sobras que caían de la mesa del hombre rico.
22 »Un día, el hombre pobre murió y los ángeles lo pusieron en el sitio de honor, junto a su antepasado Abraham. Después murió también el hombre rico, y lo enterraron. 23 Cuando ya estaba en el infierno, donde sufría muchísimo, el que había sido rico vio a lo lejos a Abraham, y a Lázaro sentado junto a él.
24 »Entonces llamó a Abraham y le dijo: “¡Abraham, antepasado mío, compadécete de mí! Ordénale a Lázaro que moje la punta de su dedo en agua, y me refresque la lengua. Sufro muchísimo con este fuego.” 25 Pero Abraham le respondió: “Tú eres mi descendiente, pero recuerda que, cuando ustedes vivían, a ti te iba muy bien y a Lázaro le iba muy mal. Ahora, él es feliz aquí, mientras que a ti te toca sufrir. 26 Además, a ustedes y a nosotros nos separa un gran abismo, y nadie puede pasar de un lado a otro.” 27 El hombre rico dijo: “Abraham, te ruego entonces que mandes a Lázaro a la casa de mi familia. 28 Que avise a mis cinco hermanos que, si no dejan de hacer lo malo, vendrán a este horrible lugar.” 29 Pero Abraham le contestó: “Tus hermanos tienen la Biblia. ¿Por qué no la leen? ¿Por qué no la obedecen?” 30 El hombre rico respondió: “Abraham, querido antepasado, ¡eso no basta! Pero si alguno de los muertos va y habla con ellos, te aseguro que se volverán a Dios.” 31 Abraham le dijo: “Si no hacen caso de lo que dice la Biblia, tampoco le harán caso a un muerto que vuelva a vivir.”»
