| 1 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. | 1 וַיֹּאמֶר גַּם אֶל־תַּלְמִידָיו אִישׁ עָשִׁיר הָיָה וְלוֹ פָקִיד עַל־בֵּיתוֹ וַיַּלְשִׁינֻהוּ אֵלָיו בְּאָמְרָם כִּי־מְפַזֵּר הוּא אֶת־קִנְיָנֶיךָ |
| 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. | 2 וַיִּקְרָא אֹתוֹ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו מַה־זֹּאת שָׁמַעְתִּי עָלֶיךָ תֵּן חֶשְׁבּוֹן פְּקִידוּתְךָ כִּי לֹא תוּכַל לִהְיוֹת עוֹד פָּקִיד |
| 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. | 3 וַיֹּאמֶר הַפָּקִיד בְּלִבּוֹ מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה כִּי־יִקַּח אֲדֹנִי מִמֶּנִּי אֶת־הַפְּקִידוּת לַעֲדֹר לֹא־אוּכַל וְלִשְׁאֹל עַל־הַפְּתָחִים אֲנִי בוֹשׁ |
| 4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. | 4 יָדַעְתִּי מָה אֶעֱשֶׂה לְמַעַן יַאַסְפוּנִי אֶל־בָּתֵּיהֶם בְּעֵת אוּסַר מִפְּקִידוּתִי |
| 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? | 5 וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־כָּל־אִישׁ אֲשֶׁר־נָשָׁה בָהֶם אֲדֹנָיו וַיִּשְׁאַל אֶת־הָרִאשׁוֹן כַּמָּה אַתָּה חַיָּב לַאדֹנִי |
| 6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. | 6 וַיֹּאמֶר מְאַת בַּתֵּי שָׁמֶן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו קַח אֶת־שְׁטָרְךָ וּמַהֵר שֵׁב וְכָתַבְתָּ חֲמִשִּׁים |
| 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. | 7 וְאֶל־אַחֵר אָמַר כַּמָּה אַתָּה חַיָּב וַיֹּאמֶר מְאַת כֹּר חִטִּים וַיֹּאמֶר קַח אֶת־שְׁטָרְךָ וּכְתֹב שְׁמֹנִים |
| 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. | 8 וַיְשַׁבַּח הָאָדוֹן אֶת־פְּקִיד הָעַוְלָה עַל־אֲשֶׁר הֶעֱרִים לַעֲשׂוֹת כִּי בְנֵי הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה עֲרוּמִים הֵם בְּדוֹרָם מִבְּנֵי הָאוֹר |
| 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. | 9 וְגַם־אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם עֲשֹוּ לָכֶם אֹהֲבִים בִּמְמוֹן הָעַוְלָה לְמַעַן בְּעֵת כְּלֹתוֹ יַאַסְפוּ אֶתְכֶם אֶל־מִשְׁכְּנוֹת עוֹלָם |
| 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. | 10 הַנֶּאֱמָן בִּמְעַט מִזְעָר נֶאֱמָן גַּם־בְּהַרְבֵּה וְהַמְעַוֵּל בִּמְעַט מִזְעָר מְעַוֵּל גַּם־בְּהַרְבֵּה |
| 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? | 11 לָכֵן אִם־בִּמְמוֹן הָעַוְלָה לֹא הֱיִיתֶם נֶאֱמָנִים אֵת הָאֲמִתִּי מִי יַפְקִיד בְּיֶדְכֶם |
| 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? | 12 וְאִם־בַּדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר לַאֲחֵרִים לֹא הֱיִיתֶם נֶאֱמָנִים אֵת אֲשֶׁר לָכֶם מִי יִתֵּן לָכֶם |
| 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. | 13 אֵין עֶבֶד אֲשֶׁר יוּכַל לַעֲבֹד שְׁנֵי אֲדֹנִים כִּי יִשְׂנָא אֶת־הָאֶחָד וְיֶאֱהַב אֶת־הָאַחֵר אוֹ יִדְבַּק בָּאֶחָד וְאֶת־הָאַחֵר יִבְזֶה לֹא תוּכְלוּ עֲבֹד אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים וְאֵת הַמָּמוֹן |
| 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. | 14 וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כָל־זֹאת גַּם־הַפְּרוּשִׁים אֲשֶׁר הֵם אֹהֲבֵי כָסֶף וַיִּלְעֲגוּ לוֹ |
| 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. | 15 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַתֶּם הֵם הַמִּצְטַדְּקִים לִפְנֵי הָאָדָם וֵאלֹהִים יוֹדֵעַ אֶת־לְבַבְכֶם כִּי הַגָּבֹהַּ בָּאָדָם תּוֹעֵבָה הוּא לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים |
| 16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. | 16 הַתּוֹרָה וְהַנְּבִיאִים עַד־יוֹחָנָן וּמִן־אָז וָהָלְאָה בְּשׂוֹרַת מַלְכוּת הָאֱלֹהִים וְכָל־אִישׁ בְּחָזְקָה יָבוֹא בָהּ |
| 17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. | 17 אֲבָל נָקֵל כִּי יַעַבְרוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ מֵאֲשֶׁר יִפֹּל קוֹץ אֶחָד מִן־הַתּוֹרָה |
| 18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. | 18 כָּל־אִישׁ הַמְשַׁלֵּחַ אֶת־אִשְׁתּוֹ וְלֹקֵחַ אַחֶרֶת נֹאֵף הוּא וְכָל־הַלֹּקֵחַ אֶת־הַגְּרוּשָׁה מֵאִישָׁהּ נֹאֵף הוּא |
| 19 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: | 19 אִישׁ עָשִׁיר הָיָה וְהוּא לָבוּשׁ אַרְגָּמָן וָשֵׁשׁ וַיִּתְעַנֵּג וַיִּשְׂמַח יוֹם יוֹם |
| 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, | 20 וְאִישׁ אֶבְיוֹן וּשְׁמוֹ לַעְזָר מֻשְׁכָּב פֶּתַח שַׁעַר בֵּיתוֹ וְהוּא מָלֵא אֲבַעְבֻּעוֹת |
| 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. | 21 וַיִּתְאַו לִשְׂבֹּעַ מִן־הַפֵּרוּרִים הַנֹּפְלִים מֵעַל שֻׁלְחַן הֶעָשִׁיר וְגַם־הַכְּלָבִים בָּאוּ וַיָּלֹקּוּ אֲבַעְבֻּעוֹתָיו |
| 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; | 22 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר מֵת הָאֶבְיוֹן וַיּוּבַל עַל־יְדֵי הַמַּלְאָכִים אֶל־חֵיק אַבְרָהָם וַיָּמָת גַּם־הֶעָשִׁיר וַיִּקָּבֵר |
| 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. | 23 וּבִהְיוֹתוֹ בְּמַכְאֹבוֹת בִּשְׁאוֹל וַיִּשָּׂא אֶת־עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא אֶת־אַבְרָהָם מֵרָחוֹק וְאֶת־לַעְזָר בְּחֵיקוֹ |
| 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. | 24 וַיִּצְעַק וַיֹּאמֶר אָבִי אַבְרָהָם חָנֵּנִי וּשְׁלַח־נָא אֶת־לַעְזָר וְיִטְבֹּל אֶת־קְצֵה אֶצְבָּעוֹ בַּמַּיִם לְמַעַן קָרֵר אֶת־לְשׁוֹנִי כִּי עֻנֵּיתִי בַּמּוֹקֵד הַזֶּה |
| 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. | 25 וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָהָם בְּנִי זְכֹר כִּי־לָקַחְתָּ טוּבְךָ בְּחַיֶּיךָ וְגַם לַעְזָר לָקַח אֶת־הָרָעוֹת וְעַתָּה הוּא יְנֻחַם וְאַתָּה תִּצְטָעָר |
| 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. | 26 וּמִלְּבַד כָּל־זֹאת שׁוּחָה גְדוֹלָה מַפְסֶקֶת בֵּינֵינוּ וּבֵינֵיכֶם לְבִלְתִּי יוּכְלוּ עֲבוֹר הַחֲפֵצִים לָלֶכֶת מִפֹּה אֲלֵיכֶם וּלְבִלְתִּי יַעַבְרוּ מִשָּׁם אֵלֵינוּ |
| 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: | 27 וַיֹּאמֶר אִם־כֵּן אָבִי שֹׁאֵל אֲנִי מֵאִתְּךָ כִּי־תִשְׁלַח אֹתוֹ אֶל־בֵּית אָבִי |
| 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. | 28 כִּי יֶשׁ־לִי חֲמִשָּׁה אַחִים לְמַעַן יָעִיד בָּהֶם פֶּן־יָבֹאוּ גַם־הֵם אֶל־מְקוֹם הַמַּעֲצֵבָה הַזֶּה |
| 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. | 29 וַיֹּאמֶר אַבְרָהָם יֵשׁ לָהֶם משֶׁה וְהַנְּבִיאִים אֲלֵיהֶם יִשְׁמָעוּן |
| 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. | 30 וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא־כֵן אָבִי אַבְרָהָם אַךְ אִם־יֵלֵךְ אֲלֵיהֶם אֶחָד מִן־הַמֵּתִים אָז יָשׁוּבוּ |
| 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. | 31 וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו אִם־לֹא יִשְׁמְעוּ אֶל־משֶׁה וְאֶל־הַנְּבִיאִים גַּם כִּי־יָקוּם אֶחָד מִן־הַמֵּתִים לֹא יַאֲמִינוּ |
