Vangelo secondo Luca 16

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Dicebat autem et ad disci pulos: “ Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebatvilicum, et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius.	1 Then he also said to his disciples, "A rich man had a steward who was reported to him for squandering his property.
2 Etvocavit illum et ait illi: “Quid hoc audio de te? Redde rationem vilicationistuae; iam enim non poteris vilicare”.	2 He summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Prepare a full account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be my steward.'
3 Ait autem vilicus intra se: “Quidfaciam, quia dominus meus aufert a me vilicationem? Fodere non valeo, mendicareerubesco.	3 The steward said to himself, 'What shall I do, now that my master is taking the position of steward away from me? I am not strong enough to dig and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a vilicatione, recipiant mein domos suas”.	4 I know what I shall do so that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may welcome me into their homes.'
5 Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebatprimo: “Quantum debes domino meo?”.	5 He called in his master's debtors one by one. To the first he said, 'How much do you owe my master?'
6 At ille dixit: “Centum cados olei”.Dixitque illi: “Accipe cautionem tuam et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta”.	6 He replied, 'One hundred measures of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Here is your promissory note. Sit down and quickly write one for fifty.'
7 Deinde alii dixit: “Tu vero quantum debes?”. Qui ait: “Centum corostritici”. Ait illi: “Accipe litteras tuas et scribe octoginta”.	7 Then to another he said, 'And you, how much do you owe?' He replied, 'One hundred kors of wheat.' He said to him, 'Here is your promissory note; write one for eighty.'
8 Etlaudavit dominus vilicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset, quia filii huiussaeculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt.	8 And the master commended that dishonest steward for acting prudently. "For the children of this world are more prudent in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light.
9 Et ego vobis dico: Facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis, ut, cumdefecerit, recipiant vos in aeterna tabernacula.	9 I tell you, make friends for yourselves with dishonest wealth, so that when it fails, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.
10 Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in maiori fidelis est; et, qui in modicoiniquus est, et in maiori iniquus est.	10 The person who is trustworthy in very small matters is also trustworthy in great ones; and the person who is dishonest in very small matters is also dishonest in great ones.
11 Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis, quod verum est, quis credetvobis?	11 If, therefore, you are not trustworthy with dishonest wealth, who will trust you with true wealth?
12 Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabitvobis?	12 If you are not trustworthy with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours?
13 Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet et alterumdiliget, aut uni adhaerebit et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire etmammonae ”.	13 No servant can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
14 Audiebant autem omnia haec pharisaei, qui erant avari, et deridebant illum.	14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things and sneered at him.
15 Et ait illis: “ Vos estis, qui iustificatis vos coram hominibus; Deus autemnovit corda vestra, quia, quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum.	15 And he said to them, "You justify yourselves in the sight of others, but God knows your hearts; for what is of human esteem is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 Lex et Prophetae usque ad Ioannem; ex tunc regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnisin illud vim facit.	16 "The law and the prophets lasted until John; but from then on the kingdom of God is proclaimed, and everyone who enters does so with violence.
17 Facilius est autem caelum et terram praeterire, quam de Lege unum apicemcadere.	17 It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for the smallest part of a letter of the law to become invalid.
18 Omnis, qui dimittit uxorem suam et ducit alteram, moechatur; et, qui dimissama viro ducit, moechatur.	18 "Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and the one who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 Homo quidam erat dives et induebatur purpura et bysso et epulabatur cotidiesplendide.	19 "There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.
20 Quidam autem pauper nomine Lazarus iacebat ad ianuam eiusulceribus plenus	20 And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
21 et cupiens saturari de his, quae cadebant de mensa divitis;sed et canes veniebant et lingebant ulcera eius.	21 who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man's table. Dogs even used to come and lick his sores.
22 Factum est autem utmoreretur pauper et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahae; mortuus est autem etdives et sepultus est.	22 When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
23 Et in inferno elevans oculos suos, cum esset intormentis, videbat Abraham a longe et Lazarum in sinu eius.	23 and from the netherworld, where he was in torment, he raised his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.
24 Et ipse clamansdixit: “Pater Abraham, miserere mei et mitte Lazarum, ut intingat extremumdigiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma”.	24 And he cried out, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me. Send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering torment in these flames.'
25 At dixit Abraham: “Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona tua in vita tua, etLazarus similiter mala; nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris.	25 Abraham replied, 'My child, remember that you received what was good during your lifetime while Lazarus likewise received what was bad; but now he is comforted here, whereas you are tormented.
26 Et inhis omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est, ut hi, qui volunt hinctransire ad vos, non possint, neque inde ad nos transmeare”.	26 Moreover, between us and you a great chasm is established to prevent anyone from crossing who might wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours.'
27 Et ait: “Rogoergo te, Pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei	27 He said, 'Then I beg you, father, send him to my father's house,
28 — habeo enim quinquefratres — ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in locum hunc tormentorum”.	28 for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they too come to this place of torment.'
29 Ait autem Abraham: “Habent Moysen et Prophetas; audiant illos”.	29 But Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.'
30 Atille dixit: “Non, pater Abraham, sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos,paenitentiam agent”.	30 He said, 'Oh no, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
31 Ait autem illi: “Si Moysen et Prophetas non audiunt,neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent” ”.	31 Then Abraham said, 'If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone should rise from the dead.'"
