Luke 16 (EKKPKP)

1Jeesus jutustas oma jüngritele selle loo. „Elas kord üks rikas mees, kelle kojaülemat süüdistati oma isandale kuuluva vara raiskamises.Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions.

2Seega kutsus rikas mees oma kojaülema ja küsis temalt: „Mida ma sinu kohta kuulen? Esita oma aruanded, sest sa ei jätka enam kojaülema ametis.“So he called him in to ask, ‘What is this I hear about you? Turn in an account of your management, for you cannot be manager any longer.’

3Kojaülem ütles endamisi: „Mida ma nüüd teen, kui mu isand kavatseb mu töölt lahti lasta? Ma pole piisavalt tugev, et kaevata, ning kerjata on mul häbi.The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my position? I am too weak to dig and too ashamed to beg.

4Ma tean, mida ma teen, et siis, kui mind kojaülema kohalt lahti lastakse, võtaksid inimesed mind hea meelega oma koju vastu.“I know what I will do so that after my removal from management, people will welcome me into their homes.’

5Nõnda siis kutsus ta kõik need, kes tema isandale võlgu olid, enda juurde. Ta küsis esimeselt: „Kui palju sa mu isandale võlgu oled?“And he called in each one of his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked the first.

6Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu õli.“ Ta ütles temale: „Istu ruttu maha. Võta oma võlakiri ja muuda see viiekümneks.“‘A hundred measures of olive oil,’ he answered. ‘Take your bill,’ said the manager, ‘sit down quickly, and write fifty.’

7Siis küsis ta teiselt: „Kui palju sina võlgu oled?“ Mees vastas: „Sada mõõtu nisu.“ Ta ütles temale: „Võta võlakiri ja muuda see kaheksakümneks.“Then he asked another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ ‘A hundred measures of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Take your bill and write eighty,’ he told him.

8Rikas mees kiitis oma ebaausat kojaülemat tema leidliku idee eest. Selle maailma lapsed on üksteise suhtes leidlikumad kui valguse lapsed.The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the sons of light.

9Ma ütlen teile, kasutage selle maailma vara, et leida endale sõpru, nii et kui see on läbi, siis võetaks teid igavesse koju vastu.I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves so that when it is gone, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings.

10Kui teie kätte võib usaldada väga vähest, võib teile usaldada ka palju; kui olete ebaausad vähesega, olete ebaausad ka paljuga.Whoever is faithful with very little will also be faithful with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

11Kui teid ei saa usaldada ilmaliku vara mõttes, kes usaldaks teile siis tõelise rikkuse?So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with true riches?

12Ja kui teid ei saa usaldada sellega, mis kuulub kellelegi teisele, kes usaldaks siis teile teie oma?And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

13Üks sulane ei saa kuuletuda kahele isandale. Ta kas vihkab üht ja armastab teist või on pühendunud ühele ja põlgab teist. Te ei saa teenida mõlemat, Jumalat ja raha.“No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”

14Variserid, kes armastasid raha, kuulsid, mida Jeesus ütles, ja naersid tema üle.The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all of this and were scoffing at Jesus.

15Aga Jeesus ütles neile: „Te paistate inimestele vagad, aga Jumal teab, mida te mõtlete. Jumal põlgab seda, mida inimesed kõrgelt hindavad.So He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is prized among men is detestable before God.

16Seadusesse ja prohvetitesse kirjutatust jätkus Johanneseni. Sellest ajast alates on levitatud head sõnumit Jumala riigist ja kõik pingutavad, et sinna sisse minna.The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John. Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

17Kuid taeval ja maal on lihtsam lõppeda kui Seaduse väikseimal punktil kaduda.But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.

18Iga mees, kes lahutab oma naisest ja abiellub teisega, rikub abielu, ning mees, kes abiellub lahutatud naisega, rikub abielu.Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

19Elas kord üks mees, kes oli rikas. Ta kandis purpurrõivaid ja peenlinast ning nautis luksuslikku elu.Now there was a rich man dressed in purple and fine linen, who lived each day in joyous splendor.

20Tema värava juures istus enamasti üks kerjus nimega Laatsarus. Ta oli haavanditega kaetudAnd a beggar named Lazarus lay at his gate, covered with sores

21ja soovis süüa rikka mehe laualt jäävaid jääke. Isegi koerad tulid ja lakkusid tema haavu.and longing to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

22Siis kerjus suri ja inglid kandis ta Aabrahami juurde. Ka rikas mees suri ja maeti.One day the beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. And the rich man also died and was buried.

23Allilmas, kus ta oli piinades, vaatas ta üles ja nägi kaugelt Aabrahami ja Laatsarust tema kõrval.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham from afar, with Lazarus by his side.

24„Isa Aabraham,“ hüüdis ta, „halasta mu peale ja saada Laatsarus, et ta kastaks oma sõrme vette ja jahutaks mu keelt, sest ma hõõgun piinas.“So he cried out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. For I am in agony in this fire.’

25Aga Aabraham vastas: „Mu poeg, meenuta, et sa nautisid elus häid asju, samal ajal kui Laatsarusel oli väga kehv elu. Nüüd leiab tema lohutust, samas sina kannatad piinu.But Abraham answered, ‘Child, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here, while you are in agony.

26Peale selle on meie ja teie vahel laiumas suur kuristik. Mitte keegi, kes tahab, ei saa minna siit üle sinna teie juurde, ja mitte keegi ei saa tulla üle sealt meie juurde.“And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

27Rikas mees ütles: „Siis anun sind, isa, palun saada ta mu isa majja.‘Then I beg you, father,’ he said, ‘send Lazarus to my father’s house,

28Sest mul on viis venda ja ta võib neid hoiatada, et nemadki ei lõpetaks siin piinapaigas.“for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also end up in this place of torment.’

29Kuid Aabraham vastas: „Neil on Mooses ja prohvetid. Nad peaksid neid kuulama.“But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let your brothers listen to them.’

30„Ei, isa Aabraham,“ ütles mees. „Aga nad parandaksid meelt, kui nende juurde läheks keegi surnutest!“‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone is sent to them from the dead, they will repent.’

31Aabraham ütles talle: „Kui nad ei kuula Moosest ja prohveteid, ei veena neid ka see, kui keegi surnuist tagasi tuleks.““Then Abraham said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”
