누가복음 16

1또한 제자들에게 이르시되 어떤 부자에게 청지기가 있는데 그가 주인의 소유를 허비한다는 말이 그 주인에게 들린지라 2주인이 저를 불러 가로되 내가 네게 대하여 들은 이 말이 어찜이뇨 네 보던 일을 셈하라 청지기 사무를 계속하지 못하리라 하니 3청지기가 속으로 이르되 주인이 내 직분을 빼앗으니 내가 무엇을 할꼬 땅을 파자니 힘이 없고 빌어 먹자니 부끄럽구나 4내가 할 일을 알았도다 이렇게 하면 직분을 빼앗긴 후에 저희가 나를 자기 집으로 영접하리라 하고 5주인에게 빚진 자를 낱낱이 불러다가 먼저 온 자에게 이르되 네가 내 주인에게 얼마나 졌느뇨 6말하되 기름 백 말이니이다 가로되 여기 네 증서를 가지고 빨리 앉아 오십이라 쓰라 하고 7또 다른 이에게 이르되 너는 얼마나 졌느뇨 가로되 밀 백 석이니이다 이르되 여기 네 증서를 가지고 팔십이라 쓰라 하였는지라 8주인이 옳지 않은 청지기가 일을 지혜 있게 하였으므로 칭찬하였으니 이 세대의 아들들이 자기 시대에 있어서는 빛의 아들들보다 더 지혜로움이니라 9내가 너희에게 말하노니 불의의 재물로 친구를 사귀라 그리하면 없어질 때에 저희가 영원한 처소로 너희를 영접하리라 10지극히 작은 것에 충성된 자는 큰 것에도 충성되고 지극히 작은 것에 불의한 자는 큰 것에도 불의하니라 11너희가 만일 불의한 재물에 충성치 아니하면 누가 참된 것으로 너희에게 맡기겠느냐 12너희가 만일 남의 것에 충성치 아니하면 누가 너희의 것을 너희에게 주겠느냐 13집 하인이 두 주인을 섬길 수 없나니 혹 이를 미워하고 저를 사랑하거나 혹 이를 중히 여기고 저를 경히 여길 것임이니라 너희가 하나님과 재물을 겸하여 섬길 수 없느니라 14바리새인들은 돈을 좋아하는 자라 이 모든 것을 듣고 비웃거늘 15예수께서 이르시되 너희는 사람 앞에서 스스로 옳다 하는 자이나 너희 마음을 하나님께서 아시나니 사람 중에 높임을 받는 그것은 하나님 앞에 미움을 받는 것이니라 16율법과 선지자는 요한의 때까지요 그 후부터는 하나님 나라의 복음이 전파되어 사람마다 그리로 침입하느니라 17그러나 율법의 한 획이 떨어짐보다 천지의 없어짐이 쉬우리라 18무릇 그 아내를 버리고 다른 데 장가드는 자도 간음함이요 무릇 버리운 이에게 장가드는 자도 간음함이니라 19한 부자가 있어 자색 옷과 고운 베옷을 입고 날마다 호화로이 연락하는데 20나사로라 이름한 한 거지가 헌데를 앓으며 그 부자의 대문에 누워 21부자의 상에서 떨어지는 것으로 배불리려 하매 심지어 개들이 와서 그 헌데를 핥더라 22이에 그 거지가 죽어 천사들에게 받들려 아브라함의 품에 들어가고 부자도 죽어 장사되매 23저가 음부에서 고통 중에 눈을 들어 멀리 아브라함과 그의 품에 있는 나사로를 보고 24불러 가로되 아버지 아브라함이여 나를 긍휼히 여기사 나사로를 보내어 그 손가락 끝에 물을 찍어 내 혀를 서늘하게 하소서 내가 이 불꽃 가운데서 고민하나이다 25아브라함이 가로되 얘 너는 살았을 때에 네 좋은 것을 받았고 나사로는 고난을 받았으니 이것을 기억하라 이제 저는 여기서 위로를 받고 너는 고민을 받느니라 26이뿐 아니라 너희와 우리 사이에 큰 구렁이 끼어 있어 여기서 너희에게 건너가고자 하되 할 수 없고 거기서 우리에게 건너올 수도 없게 하였느니라 27가로되 그러면 구하노니 아버지여 나사로를 내 아버지의 집에 보내소서 28내 형제 다섯이 있으니 저희에게 증거하게 하여 저희로 이 고통 받는 곳에 오지 않게 하소서 29아브라함이 가로되 저희에게 모세와 선지자들이 있으니 그들에게 들을지니라 30가로되 그렇지 아니하니이다 아버지 아브라함이여 만일 죽은 자에게서 저희에게 가는 자가 있으면 회개하리이다 31가로되 모세와 선지자들에게 듣지 아니하면 비록 죽은 자 가운데서 살아나는 자가 있을지라도 권함을 받지 아니하리라 하였다 하시니라

1He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions. 2He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ 3“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg. 4I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’ 5Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’ 6He said, ‘A hundred batosof oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ 7Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred corsof wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ 8“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. 9I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. 10He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. 11If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? 13No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.” 14The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him. 15He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it. 17But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall. 18Everyone who divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery. 19“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day. 20A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried. 23In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. 24He 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 in anguish in this flame.’ 25“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish. 26Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’ 27“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house; 28for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’ 29“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’ 30“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”

1En Hij zeide ook tot Zijn discipelen: Er was een zeker rijk mens, welke een rentmeester had; en deze werd bij hem verklaagd, als die zijn goederen doorbracht. 2En hij riep hem, en zeide tot hem: Hoe hoor ik dit van u? Geef rekenschap van uw rentmeesterschap; want gij zult niet meer kunnen rentmeester zijn. 3En de rentmeester zeide bij zichzelven: Wat zal ik doen, dewijl mijn heer dit rentmeesterschap van mij neemt? Graven kan ik niet; te bedelen schaam ik mij. 4Ik weet, wat ik doen zal, opdat, wanneer ik van het rentmeesterschap afgezet zal wezen, zij mij in hun huizen ontvangen. 5En hij riep tot zich een iegelijk van de schuldenaars zijns heeren, en zeide tot den eersten: Hoeveel zijt gij mijn heer schuldig? 6En hij zeide: Honderd vaten olie. En hij zeide tot hem: Neem uw handschrift, en nederzittende, schrijf haastelijk vijftig. 7Daarna zeide hij tot een anderen: En gij, hoeveel zijt gij schuldig? En hij zeide: Honderd mudden tarwe. En hij zeide tot hem: Neem uw handschrift, en schrijf tachtig. 8En de heer prees den onrechtvaardigen rentmeester, omdat hij voorzichtiglijk gedaan had; want de kinderen dezer wereld zijn voorzichtiger, dan de kinderen des lichts, in hun geslacht. 9En Ik zeg ulieden: Maakt uzelven vrienden uit den onrechtvaardigen Mammon, opdat, wanneer u ontbreken zal, zij u mogen ontvangen in de eeuwige tabernakelen. 10Die getrouw is in het minste, die is ook in het grote getrouw; en die in het minste onrechtvaardig is, die is ook in het grote onrechtvaardig. 11Zo gij dan in den onrechtvaardigen Mammon niet getrouw zijt geweest, wie zal u het ware vertrouwen? 12En zo gij in eens anders goed niet getrouw zijt geweest, wie zal u het uwe geven? 13Geen huisknecht kan twee heren dienen; want of hij zal den enen haten, en den anderen liefhebben, of hij zal den enen aanhangen, en den anderen verachten; gij kunt God niet dienen en den Mammon. 14En al deze dingen hoorden ook de Farizeen, die geldgierig waren, en zij beschimpten Hem. 15En Hij zeide tot hen: Gij zijt het, die uzelven rechtvaardigt voor de mensen; maar God kent uw harten; want dat hoog is onder de mensen, is een gruwel voor God. 16De wet en de profeten zijn tot op Johannes; van dien tijd af wordt het Koninkrijk Gods verkondigd, en een iegelijk doet geweld op hetzelve. 17En het is lichter, dat de hemel en de aarde voorbijgaan, dan dat een tittel der wet valle. 18Een iegelijk, die zijn vrouw verlaat, en een andere trouwt, die doet overspel; en een iegelijk, die de verlatene van den man trouwt, die doet ook overspel. 19En er was een zeker rijk mens, en was gekleed met purper en zeer fijn lijnwaad, levende allen dag vrolijk en prachtig. 20En er was een zeker bedelaar, met name Lazarus, welke lag voor zijn poort vol zweren; 21En begeerde verzadigd te worden van de kruimkens, die van de tafel des rijken vielen; maar ook de honden kwamen en lekten zijn zweren. 22En het geschiedde, dat de bedelaar stierf, en van de engelen gedragen werd in den schoot van Abraham. 23En de rijke stierf ook, en werd begraven. En als hij in de hel zijn ogen ophief, zijnde in de pijn, zag hij Abraham van verre, en Lazarus in zijn schoot. 24En hij riep en zeide: Vader Abraham, ontferm u mijner, en zend Lazarus, dat hij het uiterste zijns vingers in het water dope, en verkoele mijn tong; want ik lijd smarten in deze vlam. 25Maar Abraham zeide: Kind, gedenk, dat gij uw goed ontvangen hebt in uw leven, en Lazarus desgelijks het kwade; en nu wordt hij vertroost, en gij lijdt smarten. 26En boven dit alles, tussen ons en ulieden is een grote klove gevestigd, zodat degenen, die van hier tot u willen overgaan, niet zouden kunnen, noch ook die daar zijn, van daar tot ons overkomen. 27En hij zeide: Ik bid u dan, vader, dat gij hem zendt tot mijns vaders huis; 28Want ik heb vijf broeders; dat hij hun dit betuige, opdat ook zij niet komen in deze plaats der pijniging. 29Abraham zeide tot hem: Zij hebben Mozes en de profeten, dat zij die horen. 30En hij zeide: Neen, vader Abraham, maar zo iemand van de doden tot hen heenging, zij zouden zich bekeren. 31Doch Abraham zeide tot hem: Indien zij Mozes en de profeten niet horen, zo zullen zij ook, al waren het, dat er iemand uit de doden opstond, zich niet laten gezeggen.
