16:1 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。
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.
16:2 主人叫他来，对他说，我听见你这事怎吗样呢。把你所经管的交待明白。因你不能再作我的管家。
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.
16:3 那管家心里说，主人辞我，不用我再作管家，我将来作什么。锄地呢，无力。讨饭呢，怕羞。
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.
16:4 我知道怎吗行，好叫人在我不作管家之后，接我到他们家里去。
I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
16:5 于是把欠主人债的，一个一个的叫了来，问头一个说，你欠我主人多少。
So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
16:6 他说，一百篓油。每篓约五十斤管家说，拿你的账快坐下写五十。
And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
16:7 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。
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.
16:8 主人就夸奖这不义的管家作事聪明。因为今世之子，在世事之上，较比光明之子，更加聪明。
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.
16:9 我又告诉你们，要籍着那不义的钱财，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。
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.
16:10 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。
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.
16:11 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。
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
16:12 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。
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
16:13 一个仆人不能事奉两个主。不是恶这个爱那个，就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又事奉神，又事奉玛门。
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.
16:14 法利赛人是贪爱钱财的，他们听见这一切话，就嗤笑耶稣。
And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
16:15 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。
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.
16:16 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。
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
16:17 天地废去，较比律法的一点一画落空还容易。
And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
16:18 凡休妻另娶的，就是犯奸淫。娶被休之妻的，也是犯奸淫。
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
16:19 有一个财主，穿着紫色袍和细麻布衣服，天天奢华宴乐。
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
16:20 又有一个讨饭的，名叫拉撒路，浑身生疮，被人放在财主门口，
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
16:21 要得财主桌子上掉下来的零碎充饥。并且狗来舔他的疮。
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
16:22 后来那讨饭的死，被天使放在亚伯拉罕的怀里。财主也死了，并且埋葬了。
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;
16:23 他在阴间受痛苦，举目远远的望见亚伯拉罕，又望见拉撒路在他怀里。
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
16:24 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。
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.
16:25 亚伯拉罕说，儿阿，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。
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.
16:26 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。
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.
16:27 财主说，我祖阿，既是这样，求你打发拉撒路到我父家去。
Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
16:28 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。
For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
16:29 亚伯拉罕说，他们有摩西和先知的话，可以听从。
Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
16:30 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。
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
16:31 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。
And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
