⁴¹ Then de Peter Petros said legō, · ho “ Lord kyrios, are you telling legō this houtos parable parabolē to pros us hēmeis · ho or ē · kai to pros everyone pas?” ⁴² And kai the ho Lord kyrios said legō, “ Who tis, then ara, is eimi the ho faithful pistos and wise phronimos steward oikonomos, · ho whom hos the ho master kyrios will put kathistēmi in charge of epi · ho his autos servants therapeia, to ho give didōmi the ho food ration sitometrion at en the proper kairos time ? ⁴³ Fortunate makarios is · ho that ekeinos servant whom hos his autos master kyrios, when he comes erchomai, · ho will find heuriskō doing poieō so houtōs. ⁴⁴ I tell legō you hymeis the truth alēthōs, he will put kathistēmi him autos in charge kathistēmi of epi all pas · ho his autos possessions hyparchō. ⁴⁵ But de if ean that ekeinos servant says legō · ho in en · ho his autos heart kardia, ‘ My egō master kyrios is delayed chronizō · ho in coming erchomai,’ and kai begins archō to beat typtō the ho male pais and kai · ho female paidiskē servants , and te to eat esthiō and kai drink pinō and kai get drunk methyskō; ⁴⁶ then the ho master kyrios of ho that ekeinos servant will come hēkō on en a day hēmera when hos he does not ou expect prosdokaō him and kai at en an hour hōra that hos he does not ou know ginōskō about , and kai he will cut dichotomeō him autos in pieces and kai will assign tithēmi him · ho his autos place meros with meta the ho unfaithful apistos.
