Luke 16

| Dizia Jesus também aos seus discípulos: Havia certo homem rico, que tinha um mordomo; e este foi acusado perante ele de estar dissipando os seus bens. | And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods. |
| Chamou-o, então, e lhe disse: Que é isso que ouço dizer de ti? Presta contas da tua mordomia; porque já não podes mais ser meu mordomo. | And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property. |
| Disse, pois, o mordomo consigo: Que hei de fazer, já que o meu senhor me tira a mordomia? Para cavar, não tenho forças; de mendigar, tenho vergonha. | And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets. |
| Agora sei o que vou fazer, para que, quando for desapossado da mordomia, me recebam em suas casas. | I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses. |
| E chamando a si cada um dos devedores do seu senhor, perguntou ao primeiro: Quanto deves ao meu senhor? | And sending for every one who was in debt to his lord he said to the first, What is the amount of your debt to my lord? |
| Respondeu ele: Cem cados de azeite. Disse-lhe então: Toma a tua conta, senta-te depressa e escreve cinquenta. | And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty. |
| Perguntou depois a outro: E tu, quanto deves? Respondeu ele: Cem coros de trigo. E disse-lhe: Toma a tua conta e escreve oitenta. | Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty. |
| E louvou aquele senhor ao injusto mordomo por haver procedido com sagacidade; porque os filhos deste mundo são mais sagazes para com a sua geração do que os filhos da luz. | And his lord was pleased with the false servant, because he had been wise; for the sons of this world are wiser in relation to their generation than the sons of light. |
| Eu vos digo ainda: Granjeai amigos por meio das riquezas da injustiça; para que, quando estas vos faltarem, vos recebam eles nos tabernáculos eternos. | And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places. |
| Quem é fiel no pouco, também é fiel no muito; quem é injusto no pouco, também é injusto no muito. | He who is true in a little, is true in much; he who is false in small things, is false in great. |
| Se, pois, nas riquezas injustas não fostes fiéis, quem vos confiará as verdadeiras? | If, then, you have not been true in your use of the wealth of this life, who will give into your care the true wealth? |
| E se no alheio não fostes fiéis, quem vos dará o que é vosso? | And if you have not been true in your care of the property of other people, who will give you that which is yours? |
| Nenhum servo pode servir dois senhores; porque ou há de odiar a um e amar ao outro, o há de odiar a um e amar ao outro, o há de dedicar-se a um e desprezar o outro. Não podeis servir a Deus e às riquezas. | No man may be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other; or he will keep to the one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth. |
| Os fariseus, que eram gananciosos, ouviam todas essas coisas e zombavam dele. | And the Pharisees, who had a great love of money, hearing these things, were making sport of him. |
| E ele lhes disse: Vós sois os que vos justificais a vós mesmos diante dos homens, mas Deus conhece os vossos corações; porque o que entre os homens é elevado, perante Deus é abominação. | And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God. |
| A lei e os profetas vigoraram até João; desde então é anunciado o evangelho do reino de Deus, e todo homem forceja por entrar nele. | The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force. |
| É, porém, mais fácil passar o céu e a terra do que cair um til da lei. | But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out. |
| Todo aquele que repudia sua mulher e casa com outra, comete adultério; e quem casa com a que foi repudiada pelo marido, também comete adultério. | Everyone who puts away his wife and takes another, is a false husband: and he who is married to a woman whose husband has put her away, is no true husband to her. |
| Ora, havia um homem rico que se vestia de púrpura e de linho finíssimo, e todos os dias se regalava esplendidamente. | Now there was a certain man of great wealth, who was dressed in fair clothing of purple and delicate linen, and was shining and glad every day. |
| Ao seu portão fora deitado um mendigo, chamado Lázaro, todo coberto de úlceras; | And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds, |
| o qual desejava alimentar-se com as migalhas que caíam da mesa do rico; e os próprios cães vinham lamber-lhe as úlceras. | Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds. |
| Veio a morrer o mendigo, e foi levado pelos anjos para o seio de Abraão; morreu também o rico, e foi sepultado. | And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth. |
| No hades, ergueu os olhos, estando em tormentos, e viu ao longe a Abraão, e a Lázaro no seu seio. | And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast. |
| E, clamando, disse: Pai Abraão, tem misericórdia de mim, e envia-me Lázaro, para que molhe na água a ponta do dedo e me refresque a língua, porque estou atormentado nesta chama. | And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame. |
| Disse, porém, Abraão: Filho, lembra-te de que em tua vida recebeste os teus bens, e Lázaro de igual modo os males; agora, porém, ele aqui é consolado, e tu atormentado. | But Abraham said, Keep in mind, my son, that when you were living, you had your good things, while Lazarus had evil things: but now, he is comforted and you are in pain. |
| E além disso, entre nós e vós está posto um grande abismo, de sorte que os que quisessem passar daqui para vós não poderiam, nem os de lá passar para nós. | And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us. |
| Disse ele então: Rogo-te, pois, ó pai, que o mandes à casa de meu pai, | And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house; |
| porque tenho cinco irmãos; para que lhes dê testemunho, a fim de que não venham eles também para este lugar de tormento. | For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain. |
| Disse-lhe Abraão: Têm Moisés e os profetas; ouçam-nos. | But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say. |
| Respondeu ele: Não! pai Abraão; mas, se alguém dentre os mortos for ter com eles, hão de se arrepender. | And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed. |
| Abraão, porém, lhe disse: Se não ouvem a Moisés e aos profetas, tampouco acreditarão, ainda que ressuscite alguém dentre os mortos. | And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead. |
