16 — Luca

1And he said also to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and the same was accused unto him, that he had wasted his goods.E disse ancora a' suoi discepoli: Eravi un ricco, che aveva un l'attore: il quale fu accusato dinanzi a lui, come se dissipati avesse i suoi beni.AND he said also to his Disciples, There vvas a cartaine riche man that had a bailife: & he vvas il reported of vnto him, as he that had vvasted his goods.Dicebat autem et ad discipulos suos: Homo quidam erat dives, qui habebat villicum: et hic diffamatus est apud illum quasi dissipasset bona ipsius. 2And he called him and said to him: How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship: for now thou canst be steward no longer.E chiamatolo a se, gli disse: Che è quello, che io sento dire di te? rendi conto del tuo maneggio: imperocché non potrai più esser fattore.And he called him, and said to him, Vvhat heare I this of thee? render account of thy bailiship: for novv thou canst no more be bailife.Et vocavit illum, et ait illi: Quid hoc audio de te ? redde rationem villicationis tuæ: jam enim non poteris villicare. 3And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? To dig I am not able; to beg I am ashamed.E disse il fattore drento di se: Che farò, mentre il padrone mi leva la fattoria? Non sono buono a zappare: mi vergogno a chiedere la limosina.And the bailife said vvithin him self, Vvhat shal I doe, because my lord taketh avvay from me the bailiship? digge I am not able, to begge I am ashamed.Ait autem villicus intra se: Quid faciam ? quia dominus meus aufert a me villicationem. Fodere non valeo, mendicare erubesco. 4I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.So ben io quel, che farò, affinchè, quando mi sarà levata la fattoria, vi sia, chi mi ricetti in casa sua.I knovv vvhat I vvil doe, that vvhen I shal be remoued from the bailiship, they may receiue me into their houses.Scio quid faciam, ut, cum amotus fuero a villicatione, recipiant me in domos suas. 5Therefore, calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?Chiamati pertanto ad uno ad uno i debitori del suo padrone, disse al primo: Di quanto vai tu debitore al mio padrone?Therfore calling together euery one of his lords detters, he said to the first, Hovv much doest thou ovve my lord?Convocatis itaque singulis debitoribus domini sui, dicebat primo: Quantum debes domino meo ?

6But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.E quegli disse: Di cento barili d'olio. Ed ei gli disse: Prendi il tuo chirografo: mettiti a sedere, e scrivi tosto cinquanta.But he saith, An hundred pipes of oile. And he said to him, Take thy bil: and sit dovvne, quickly vvrite fiftie.At ille dixit: Centum cados olei. Dixitque illi: Accipe cautionem tuam: et sede cito, scribe quinquaginta. 7Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? Who said: An hundred quarters of wheat. He said to him: Take thy bill and write eighty.Di poi disse a un altro: E tu di quanto se' debitore? E quegli rispose: di cento staja di grano. Ed ei gli disse: prendi il tuo chirografo, e scrivi ottanta.After that he said to an other, But thou, hovv much doest thou ovve? Vvho said, An hundreth quarters of vvheat. He said to him, Take thy bil, and vvrite eightie.Deinde alii dixit: Tu vero quantum debes ? Qui ait: Centum coros tritici. Ait illi: Accipe litteras tuas, et scribe octoginta. 8And the lord commended the unjust steward, forasmuch as he had done wisely: for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.E il padrone lodò il fattore infedele, perché prudentemente avea operato: imperocché i figliuoli di questo secolo sono nel loro genere più prudenti dei figliuoli della luce.And the lord praised the bailife of iniquitie, because he had done vvisely: for the children of this vvorld, are vviser then the children of light in their generation.Et laudavit dominus villicum iniquitatis, quia prudenter fecisset: quia filii hujus sæculi prudentiores filiis lucis in generatione sua sunt. 9And I say to you: Make unto you friends of the mammon of iniquity: that when you shall fail, they may receive you into everlasting dwellings.E io dico a voi: Fatevi degli amici per mezzo delle inique ricchezze; affinchè, quando venghiate a mancare, vi dian ricetto ne' tabernacoli eterni.And I say to you, Make vnto you frendes of the mammon of iniquitie: that vvhen you faile, they may receiue you into the eternal tabernacles.Et ego vobis dico: facite vobis amicos de mammona iniquitatis: ut, cum defeceritis, recipiant vos in æterna tabernacula. 10He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little is unjust also in that which is greater.Chi è fedele nel poco, è fedele anco nel molto: e chi è ingiusto nel poco, è ingiusto anche nel molto.He that is faithful in the lest, is faithful in the greater also: and he that is vniust in litle, is vniust in the greater also.Qui fidelis est in minimo, et in majori fidelis est: et qui in modico iniquus est, et in majori iniquus est.

11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon, who will trust you with that which is the true?Se adunque non siete stati fedeli nelle false ricchezze, chi fiderà a voi le vere?If then you haue not been faithful in the vniust mammon: vvith that vvhich is the true vvho may credit you?Si ergo in iniquo mammona fideles non fuistis quod verum est, quis credet vobis ? 12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?E se non siete stati fedeli in quel d'altri, chi fiderà a voi il vostro?And if you haue not been faithful in other mens: that vvhich is yours, vvho vvil giue you?Et si in alieno fideles non fuistis, quod vestrum est, quis dabit vobis ? 13No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one and love the other: or he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.Niun servidore può servire a due padroni: conciossiaché od odierà l'uno, e amerà l'altro: o si affezionerà al primo, e disprezzerà il secondo: non potete servire a Dio, e all'interesse.No seruant can serue tvvo maisters, for either he shal hate the one, and loue the other: or cleaue to one, and contemne the other. You can not serue God and mammon.Nemo servus potest duobus dominis servire: aut enim unum odiet, et alterum diliget: aut uni adhærebit, et alterum contemnet. Non potestis Deo servire et mammonæ. 14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.E i Farisei, che erano avari, udivano tutte queste cose: e si burlavano di lui.And the Pharisees vvhich vvere couetous, heard al these things: and they derided him.Audiebant autem omnia hæc pharisæi, qui erant avari: et deridebant illum. 15And he said to them: you are they who justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts. For that which is high to men is an abomination before God.Ed ei disse loro: Voi siete quelli, che vi dimostrate giusti nel cospetto degli uomini; ma Dio conosce i vostri cuori: imperocché quello, che è sublime secondo gli uomini, è abominevole avanti a Dio.And he said to them, You are they that iustifie your selues before men, but god knovveth your hartes, because that vvhich is high to men, is abomination before God.Et ait illis: Vos estis qui justificatis vos coram hominibus: Deus autem novit corda vestra: quia quod hominibus altum est, abominatio est ante Deum. 16The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the kingdom of God is preached: and every one useth violence towards it.La legge, e i profeti sino a Giovanni: da indi in poi vien predicato il regno di Dio, e tutti entrano in esso a forza.The lavv and the prophets, vnto Iohn. from that time the kingdom of God is euangelized, and euery one doth force tovvard it.Lex et prophetæ usque ad Joannem: ex eo regnum Dei evangelizatur, et omnis in illud vim facit.

17And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass than one tittle of the law to fall.Or è più facile, che passi il cielo, e la terra di quel, che cada a terra un solo apice della legge.And it is easier for heauen and earth to passe, then one tittle of the lavv to fall.Facilius est autem cælum et terram præterire, quam de lege unum apicem cadere. 18Every one that putteth away his wife and marrieth another committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.Chiunque ripudia la propria moglie, e ne prende un'altra, commette adulterio: e chiunque sposa quella, che è stata ripudiata dal marito, commette adulterio.Euery one that dimisseth his vvife, and marieth an other, committeth aduoutrie: and he that marieth her that is dimissed from her husband, committeth aduourrie.Omnis qui dimittit uxorem suam et alteram ducit, mœchatur: et qui dimissam a viro ducit, mœchatur. 19There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and feasted sumptuously every day.Egli era un certo uomo ricco, il quale si vestiva di porpora, e di bisso: e faceva ogni giorno sontuosi banchetti.There vvas a certaine riche man, & he vvas clothed vvith purple and silke: and he fared euery day magnifically.Homo quidam erat dives, qui induebatur purpura et bysso, et epulabatur quotidie splendide. 20And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,Ed era un certo mendico, per nome Lazzaro, il quale pieno di piaghe giaceva all'uscio di lui,And there vvas a certaine begger called Lazarus, that lay at his gate, ful of sores:Et erat quidam mendicus, nomine Lazarus, qui jacebat ad januam ejus, ulceribus plenus, 21Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. And no one did give him: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.Bramoso di satollarsi de' minuzzoli, che cadevano dalla mensa del ricco, e niuno gliene dava: ma i cani andavano a leccargli le sue piaghe.desiring to be filled of the crommes, that fel from the riche mans table, but the dogges also came, and licked his sores.cupiens saturari de micis quæ cadebant de mensa divitis, et nemo illi dabat: sed et canes veniebant, et lingebant ulcera ejus. 22And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell.Or avvenne, che il mendico morì, e fu portato dagli Angeli nel seno di Abramo. Morì anche il ricco, e fu sepolto nell'inferno.And it came to passe that the begger died, and vvas caried of the Angels into Abrahams bosome. And the riche man also died: and he vvas buried in hel.Factum est autem ut moreretur mendicus, et portaretur ab angelis in sinum Abrahæ. Mortuus est autem et dives, et sepultus est in inferno.

23And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom:E alzando gli occhi suoi, essendo ne' tormenti, vide da lungi Abramo, e Lazzaro nel suo seno:And lifting vp his eies, vvhen he vvas in torments, he savv Abraham a farre of, and Lazarus in his bosome:Elevans autem oculos suos, cum esset in tormentis, vidit Abraham a longe, et Lazarum in sinu ejus: 24And he cried and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.E sclamò, e disse: Padre Abramo, abbi misericordia di me, e manda Lazzaro, che intinga la punta del suo dito nell'acqua per rinfrescar la mia lingua; imperocché io son tormentato in questa fiamma.and he crying said, Father Abraham, haue mercie on me, and send Lazarus that he may dippe the tippe of his finger into vvater, for to coole my tongue, because I am tormented in this flame.et ipse clamans dixit: Pater Abraham, miserere mei, et mitte Lazarum ut intingat extremum digiti sui in aquam, ut refrigeret linguam meam, quia crucior in hac flamma. 25And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and thou art tormented.E Abramo gli disse: figliuolo, ricordati, che tu hai ricevuto del bene nella tua vita, e Lazzaro similmente del male: adesso egli è consolato, e tu sei tormentato:And Abraham said to him, Sonne, remember that thou didst receiue good things in thy life time, and Lazarus likevvise euil: but novv he is comforted, and thou art tormented.Et dixit illi Abraham: Fili, recordare quia recepisti bona in vita tua, et Lazarus similiter mala: nunc autem hic consolatur, tu vero cruciaris: 26And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you cannot, nor from thence come hither.E oltre a tutto questo un grande abisso è posto tra noi, e voi: onde chi vuoi passare di qua a voi, nol può, né da codesto luogo tragittare fin qua.And beside al these things, betvvene vs and you there is fixed a great chaos: that they vvhich vvil passe from hence to you, may not, neither goe from thence hither.et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est: ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare. 27And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,Ed egli disse: Io ti prego dunque, o Padre, che tu lo mandi a casa di mio padre:And he said, Then, father, I beseeche thee that thou vvouldest send him vnto my fathers house, for I haue fiue brethren,Et ait: Rogo ergo te, pater, ut mittas eum in domum patris mei: 28That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.Imperocché io ho cinque fratelli, perché gli avverta di questo, acciocché non vengano anch'essi in questo luogo di tormenti.for to testifie vnto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.habeo enim quinque fratres: ut testetur illis, ne et ipsi veniant in hunc locum tormentorum.

29And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them.E Abramo gli disse: Eglino hanno Mosè, e i profeti: ascoltino quelli.And Abraham said to him, They haue Moyses and the Prophets: let them heare them.Et ait illi Abraham: Habent Moysen et prophetas: audiant illos. 30But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.Ma egli disse: No padre Abramo: ma se alcun morto anderà ad essi, faranno penitenza.But he said, No, father Abraham, but if some man shal goe from the dead to them, they vvil doe penance.At ille dixit: Non, pater Abraham: sed si quis ex mortuis ierit ad eos, pœnitentiam agent. 31And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.Ed ei gli disse: Se non odono Mosè, e i profeti, nemmeno se risuscitasse uno da morte, crederanno.And he said to him, If they heare not Moyses and the Prophets, neither if one shal rise againe from the dead, vvil they beleeue.Ait autem illi: Si Moysen et prophetas non audiunt, neque si quis ex mortuis resurrexerit, credent.
