Revised Literal Translation

1AndG1161 he saidG3004 alsoG2532 untoG4314 hisG846 disciplesG3588G3101, There wasG1510 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG3739 hadG2192 a stewardG3623; andG2532 the sameG3778 was accusedG1225 unto himG846 thatG5613 he had wastedG1287 hisG846 goodsG5225. 2AndG2532 he calledG5455 himG846, and saidG3004 unto himG846, How is itG5101 that I hearG191 thisG3778 ofG4012 theeG4771? giveG591 an accountG3588G3056 of thyG4771 stewardshipG3588G3622; forG1063 thou mayest beG1410 noG3756 longerG2089 stewardG3621. 3ThenG1161 the stewardG3588G3623 saidG3004 withinG1722 himselfG1438, WhatG5101 shall I doG4160? forG3754 myG1473 lordG3588G2962 taketh awayG851 fromG575 meG1473 the stewardshipG3588G3622: I cannotG2480 digG4626; to begG1871 I am ashamedG153. 4I am resolvedG1097 whatG5101 to doG4160, thatG2443, whenG3752 I am put outG3179 of the stewardshipG3588G3622, they may receiveG1209 meG1473 intoG1519 theirG846 housesG3588G3624. 5SoG2532 he calledG4341 everyG1538 oneG1520 of hisG1438 lord’sG3588G2962 debtorsG3588G5533 unto him, and saidG3004 unto the firstG4413, How muchG4214 owest thouG3784 unto myG1473 lordG3588G2962? 6AndG1161 he saidG3004, An hundredG1540 measuresG943 of oilG1637. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4771 billG3588G1121, andG2532 sit downG2523 quicklyG5030, and writeG1125 fiftyG4004. 7ThenG1899 said heG3004 to anotherG2087, AndG1161 how muchG4214 owestG3784 thouG4771? AndG1161 he saidG3004, An hundredG1540 measuresG2884 of wheatG4621. AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto himG846, TakeG1209 thyG4771 billG3588G1121, andG2532 writeG1125 fourscoreG3589. 8AndG2532 the lordG3588G2962 commendedG1867 the unjustG3588G93 stewardG3588G3623, becauseG3754 he had doneG4160 wiselyG5430: forG3754 the childrenG3588G5207 of thisG3778 worldG3588G165 areG1510 inG1519 theirG1438 generationG3588G1074 wiserG5429 thanG5228 the childrenG3588G5207 of lightG3588G5457. 9And IG2504 sayG3004 unto youG4771, MakeG4160 to yourselvesG1438 friendsG5384 ofG1537 the mammonG3588G3126 of unrighteousnessG3588G93; thatG2443, whenG3752 ye failG1587, they may receiveG1209 youG4771 intoG1519 everlastingG166 habitationsG3588G4633. 10He thatG3588 is faithfulG4103 inG1722 that which is leastG1646 is faithfulG4103 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183: andG2532 he thatG3588 isG1510 unjustG94 inG1722 the leastG1646 isG1510 unjustG94 alsoG2532 inG1722 muchG4183. 11IfG1487 thereforeG3767 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 the unrighteousG3588G94 mammonG3126, whoG5101 will commitG4100 to yourG4771 trustG4100 the trueG3588G228 riches? 12AndG2532 ifG1487 ye haveG1096 notG3756 beenG1096 faithfulG4103 inG1722 that whichG3588 is another man’sG245, whoG5101 shall giveG1325 youG4771 that whichG3588 is your ownG5212?

13NoG3762 servantG3610 canG1410 serveG1398 twoG1417 mastersG2962: forG1063 eitherG2228 he will hateG3404 the oneG3588G1520, andG2532 loveG25 the otherG3588G2087; or elseG2228 he will hold toG472 the oneG1520, andG2532 despiseG2706 the otherG3588G2087. Ye cannotG3756G1410 serveG1398 GodG2316 andG2532 mammonG3126. 14AndG1161 the PhariseesG3588G5330 alsoG2532, who wereG5225 covetousG5366, heardG191 allG3956 these thingsG3778: andG2532 they deridedG1592 himG846. 15AndG2532 he saidG3004 unto themG846, YeG4771 areG1510 they whichG3588 justifyG1344 yourselvesG1438 beforeG1799 menG3588G444; butG1161 GodG2316 knowethG1097 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588: forG3754 that whichG3588 is highly esteemedG5308 amongG1722 menG444 isG1510 abominationG946 in the sightG1799 of GodG3588G2316. 16The lawG3588G3551 andG2532 the prophetsG3588G4396 were untilG2193 JohnG2491: sinceG575 that timeG5119 the kingdomG3588G932 of GodG3588G2316 is preachedG2097, andG2532 every manG3956 pressethG971 intoG1519 itG846. 17AndG1161 it isG1510 easierG2123 for heavenG3588G3772 andG2532 earthG3588G1093 to passG3928, thanG2228 oneG1520 tittleG2762 of the lawG3588G3551 to failG4098. 18WhosoeverG3956 putteth awayG630 hisG846 wifeG3588G1135, andG2532 marriethG1060 anotherG2087, committeth adulteryG3431: andG2532 whosoeverG3956 marrieth herG1060 thatG3588 is put awayG630 fromG575 her husbandG435 committeth adulteryG3431. 19

There wasG1510 a certainG5100 richG4145 manG444, whichG2532 was clothedG1737 in purpleG4209 andG2532 fine linenG1040, and faredG2165 sumptuouslyG2988 everyG2596 dayG2250: 20AndG1161 there wasG1510 a certainG5100 beggarG4434 namedG3686 LazarusG2976, whichG3739 was laidG906 atG4314 hisG846 gateG3588G4440, full of soresG1669, 21AndG2532 desiringG1937 to be fedG5526 withG575 the crumbsG3588G5589 whichG3588 fellG4098 fromG575 the rich man’sG4145 tableG3588G5132: moreoverG235 the dogsG3588G2965 cameG2064 and lickedG621 hisG846 soresG3588G1668. 22AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that the beggarG3588G4434 diedG599, andG2532 was carriedG667 byG5259 the angelsG3588G32 intoG1519 Abraham’sG3588G11 bosomG3588G2859: the rich manG3588G4145 alsoG2532 diedG599, andG2532 was buriedG2290; 23AndG2532 inG1722 hellG3588G86 he lift upG1869 hisG846 eyesG3588G3788, beingG5225 inG1722 tormentsG931, and seethG3708 AbrahamG11 afar offG3113, andG2532 LazarusG2976 inG1722 hisG846 bosomG3588G2859. 24AndG2532 heG846 criedG5455 and saidG3004, FatherG3962 AbrahamG11, have mercyG1653 on meG1473, andG2532 sendG3992 LazarusG2976, thatG2443 he may dipG911 the tipG3588G206 of hisG846 fingerG3588G1147 in waterG5204, andG2532 coolG2711 myG1473 tongueG3588G1100; forG3754 I am tormentedG3600 inG1722 thisG3778 flameG3588G5395. 25ButG1161 AbrahamG11 saidG3004, SonG5043, rememberG3403 thatG3754 thouG4771 inG1722 thyG4771 lifetimeG3588G2222 receivedstG618 thyG4771 good thingsG18, andG2532 likewiseG3668 LazarusG2976 evil thingsG2556: butG1161 nowG3568 heG3592 is comfortedG3870, andG1161 thouG4771 art tormentedG3600. 26AndG2532 besideG1909 allG3956 thisG3778, betweenG3342 usG1473 andG2532 youG4771 there is a greatG3173 gulfG5490 fixedG4741: so thatG3704 they whichG3588 wouldG2309 passG1224 from henceG1782 toG4314 youG4771 cannotG1410; neitherG3366 can they passG1276 toG4314 usG1473, thatG3588 would come from thenceG1564. 27ThenG1161 he saidG3004, I prayG2065 theeG4771 thereforeG3767, fatherG3962, thatG2443 thou wouldest sendG3992 himG846 toG1519 myG1473 father’sG3588G3962 houseG3588G3624: 28ForG1063 I haveG2192 fiveG4002 brethrenG80; thatG3704 he may testifyG1263 unto themG846, lestG2443 theyG846 alsoG2532 comeG2064 intoG1519 thisG3778 placeG3588G5117 of tormentG3588G931. 29AbrahamG11 saithG3004 unto himG846, They haveG2192 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG3588G4396; let them hearG191 themG846. 30AndG1161 he saidG3004, NayG3780, fatherG3962 AbrahamG11: butG235 ifG1437 oneG5100 wentG4198 untoG4314 themG846 fromG575 the deadG3498, they will repentG3340. 31AndG1161 he saidG3004 unto himG846, IfG1487 they hearG191 notG3756 MosesG3475 andG2532 the prophetsG3588G4396, neitherG3761 will they be persuadedG3982, thoughG1437 oneG5100 roseG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498.
