Luke 16

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 And he also said to his disciples: “A certain man was wealthy, and he had a steward of his estate. And this man was accused to him of having dissipated his goods.	1 Ελεγε δε και προς τους μαθητας αυτου? Ητο ανθρωπος τις πλουσιος, οστις ειχεν οικονομον, και ουτος κατηγορηθη προς αυτον ως διασκορπιζων τα υπαρχοντα αυτου.
2 And he called him and said to him: ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship. For you can no longer be my steward.’	2 Και κραξας αυτον, ειπε προς αυτον? Τι ειναι τουτο το οποιον ακουω περι σου; δος τον λογαριασμον της οικονομιας σου? διοτι δεν θελεις δυνηθη πλεον να ησαι οικονομος.
3 And the steward said within himself: ‘What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I am not strong enough to dig. I am too ashamed to beg.	3 Ειπε δε καθ' εαυτον ο οικονομος? Τι να καμω, επειδη ο κυριος μου αφαιρει απ' εμου την οικονομιαν; να σκαπτω δεν δυναμαι, να ζητω εντρεπομαι?
4 I know what I will do so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’	4 ενοησα τι πρεπει να καμω, δια να με δεχθωσιν εις τους οικους αυτων, οταν αποβληθω της οικονομιας.
5 And so, calling together each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my lord?’	5 Και προσκαλεσας ενα εκαστον των χρεωφειλετων του κυριου αυτου, ειπε προς τον πρωτον? Ποσον χρεωστεις εις τον κυριον μου;
6 So he said, ‘One hundred jars of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your invoice, and quickly, sit down and write fifty.’	6 Ο δε ειπεν? Εκατον μετρα ελαιου. Και ειπε προς αυτον? Λαβε το εγγραφον σου και καθησας ταχεως γραψον πεντηκοντα.
7 Next, he said to another, ‘In truth, how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your record books, and write eighty.’	7 Επειτα ειπε προς αλλον? Συ δε ποσον χρεωστεις; Ο δε ειπεν? Εκατον μοδια σιτου. Και λεγει προς αυτον? Λαβε το εγγραφον σου και γραψον ογδοηκοντα.
8 And the lord praised the iniquitous steward, in that he had acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent with their generation than are the sons of light.	8 Και επηνεσεν ο κυριος τον αδικον οικονομον, οτι φρονιμως επραξε? διοτι οι υιοι του αιωνος τουτου ειναι φρονιμωτεροι εις την εαυτων γενεαν παρα τους υιους του φωτος.
9 And so I say to you, make friends for yourself using iniquitous mammon, so that, when you will have passed away, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.	9 Και εγω σας λεγω? Καμετε εις εαυτους φιλους εκ του μαμωνα της αδικιας, δια να σας δεχθωσιν εις τας αιωνιους σκηνας, οταν εκλειψητε.
10 Whoever is faithful in what is least, is also faithful in what is greater. And whoever is unjust in what is small, is also unjust in what is greater.	10 Ο εν τω ελαχιστω πιστος και εν τω πολλω πιστος ειναι, και ο εν τω ελαχιστω αδικος και εν τω πολλω αδικος ειναι.
11 So then, if you have not been faithful with iniquitous mammon, who will trust you with what is true?	11 Εαν λοιπον εις τον αδικον μαμωνα δεν εφανητε πιστοι, τον αληθινον πλουτον τις θελει σας εμπιστευθη;
12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours?	12 Και εαν εις το ξενον δεν εφανητε πιστοι, τις θελει σας δωσει το ιδικον σας;
13 No servant is able to serve two lords. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”	13 Ουδεις δουλος δυναται να δουλευη δυο κυριους διοτι η τον ενα θελει μισησει και τον αλλον θελει αγαπησει? η εις τον ενα θελει προσκολληθη και τον αλλον θελει καταφρονησει. Δεν δυνασθε να δουλευητε Θεον και μαμωνα.
14 But the Pharisees, who were greedy, were listening to all these things. And they ridiculed him.	14 Ηκουον δε ταυτα παντα και οι Φαρισαιοι, φιλαργυροι οντες, και περιεγελων αυτον.
15 And he said to them: “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of men. But God knows your hearts. For what is lifted up by men is an abomination in the sight of God.	15 Και ειπε προς αυτους? Σεις εισθε οι δικαιονοντες εαυτους ενωπιον των ανθρωπων, ο Θεος ομως γνωριζει τας καρδιας σας? διοτι εκεινο, το οποιον μεταξυ των ανθρωπων ειναι υψηλον, βδελυγμα ειναι ενωπιον του Θεου.
16 The law and the prophets were until John. Since then, the kingdom of God is being evangelized, and everyone acts with violence toward it.	16 Ο νομος και οι προφηται εως Ιωαννου υπηρχον? απο τοτε η βασιλεια του Θεου ευαγγελιζεται, και πας τις βιαζεται να εισελθη εις αυτην.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fall away.	17 Ευκολωτερον δε ειναι ο ουρανος και η γη να παρελθωσι παρα μια κεραια του νομου να πεση.
18 Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And whoever marries her who has been divorced by her husband commits adultery.	18 Πας οστις χωριζεται την γυναικα αυτου και νυμφευεται αλλην, μοιχευει, και πας οστις νυμφευεται κεχωρισμενην απο ανδρος, μοιχευει.
19 A certain man was wealthy, and he was clothed in purple and in fine linen. And he feasted splendidly every day.	19 Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις πλουσιος και ενεδυετο πορφυραν και στολην βυσσινην, ευφραινομενος καθ' ημεραν μεγαλοπρεπως.
20 And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, covered with sores,	20 Ητο δε πτωχος τις ονομαζομενος Λαζαρος, οστις εκειτο πεπληγωμενος πλησιον της πυλης αυτου
21 wanting to be filled with the crumbs which were falling from the wealthy man’s table. But no one gave it to him. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.	21 και επεθυμει να χορτασθη απο των ψιχιων των πιπτοντων απο της τραπεζης του πλουσιου? αλλα και οι κυνες ερχομενοι εγλειφον τας πληγας αυτου.
22 Then it happened that the beggar died, and he was carried by the Angels into the bosom of Abraham. Now the wealthy man also died, and he was entombed in Hell.	22 Απεθανε δε ο πτωχος και εφερθη υπο των αγγελων εις τον κολπον του Αβρααμ? απεθανε δε και ο πλουσιος και εταφη.
23 Then lifting up his eyes, while he was in torments, he saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.	23 Και εν τω αδη υψωσας τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ενω ητο εν βασανοις, βλεπει τον Αβρααμ απο μακροθεν και τον Λαζαρον εν τοις κολποις αυτου.
24 And crying out, he said: ‘Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to refresh my tongue. For I am tortured in this fire.’	24 Και αυτος φωναξας ειπε? Πατερ Αβρααμ, ελεησον με και πεμψον τον Λαζαρον, δια να βαψη το ακρον του δακτυλου αυτου εις υδωρ και να καταδροσιση την γλωσσαν μου, διοτι βασανιζομαι εν τη φλογι ταυτη?
25 And Abraham said to him: ‘Son, recall that you received good things in your life, and in comparison, Lazarus received bad things. But now he is consoled, and truly you are tormented.	25 ειπε δε ο Αβρααμ? Τεκνον, ενθυμηθητι οτι απελαβες συ τα αγαθα σου εν τη ζωη σου, και ο Λαζαρος ομοιως τα κακα? τωρα ουτος μεν παρηγορειται, συ δε βασανιζεσαι?
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chaos has been established, so that those who might want to cross from here to you are not able, nor can someone cross from there to here.’	26 και εκτος τουτων παντων, μεταξυ ημων και υμων χασμα μεγα ειναι εστηριγμενον, ωστε οι θελοντες να διαβωσιν εντευθεν προς εσας να μη δυνανται, μηδε οι εκειθεν να διαπερωσι προς υμας.
27 And he said: ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,	27 Ειπε δε? παρακαλω σε λοιπον, πατερ, να πεμψης αυτον εις τον οικον του πατρος μου?
28 so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torments.’	28 διοτι εχω πεντε αδελφους? δια να μαρτυρηση εις αυτους, ωστε να μη ελθωσι και αυτοι εις τον τοπον τουτον της βασανου.
29 And Abraham said to him: ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’	29 Λεγει προς αυτον ο Αβρααμ, Εχουσι τον Μωυσην και τους προφητας? ας ακουσωσιν αυτους.
30 So he said: ‘No, father Abraham. But if someone were to go to them from the dead, they would repent.’	30 Ο δε ειπεν? Ουχι, πατερ Αβρααμ, αλλ' εαν τις απο νεκρων υπαγη προς αυτους, θελουσι μετανοησει.
31 But he said to him: ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe even if someone has resurrected from the dead.’ ”	31 Ειπε δε προς αυτον? Εαν τον Μωυσην και τους προφητας δεν ακουωσιν, ουδε εαν τις αναστηθη εκ νεκρων θελουσι πεισθη.
