Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
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.
1耶穌又對門徒說：「有一個財主的管家，別人向他主人告他浪費主人的財物。
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.
2主人叫他來，對他說：『我聽見你這事怎麼樣呢？把你所經管的交代明白，因你不能再作 我的 管家。』
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.
3那管家心裏說：『主人辭我，不用我再作管家，我將來做甚麼？鋤地呢？無力；討飯呢？怕羞。
4I know what I will do, that when I shall be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
4我知道怎麼行，好叫人在我不作管家之後，接我到他們家裏去。』
5Therefore calling together every one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
5於是把欠他主人債的，一個一個地叫了來，問頭一個說：『你欠我主人多少？』
6But he said: An hundred barrels of oil. And he said to him: Take thy bill and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
6他說：『一百簍油。』管家說：『拿你的帳，快坐下，寫五十。』
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.
7又問一個說：『你欠多少？』他說：『一百石麥子。』管家說：『拿你的帳，寫八十。』
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.
8主人就誇獎這不義的管家做事聰明；因為今世之子，在世事之上，較比光明之子更加聰明。
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.
9我又告訴你們，要藉着那不義的錢財結交朋友，到了錢財無用的時候，他們可以接你們到永存的帳幕裏去。
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.
10人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不義，在大事上也不義。
11If then you have not been faithful in the unjust mammon; who will trust you with that which is the true?
11倘若你們在不義的錢財上不忠心，誰還把那真實的 錢財 託付你們呢？
12And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s; who will give you that which is your own?
12倘若你們在別人的東西上不忠心，誰還把你們自己的東西給你們呢？
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.
13一個僕人不能事奉兩個主；不是惡這個愛那個，就是重這個輕那個。你們不能又事奉上帝，又事奉瑪門。」
14Now the Pharisees, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
14法利賽人是貪愛錢財的；他們聽見這一切話，就嗤笑耶穌。
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.
15耶穌對他們說：「你們是在人面前自稱為義的，你們的心，上帝卻知道；因為人所尊貴的，是上帝看為可憎惡的。
16The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
16律法和先知到 約翰 為止，從此上帝國的福音傳開了，人人努力要進去。
17And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fall.
17天地廢去較比律法的一點一畫落空還容易。
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.
18凡休妻另娶的就是犯姦淫；娶被休之妻的也是犯姦淫。」
19There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day.
19「有一個財主穿着紫色 袍 和細麻布衣服，天天奢華宴樂。
20And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores,
20又有一個討飯的，名叫 拉撒路 ，渾身生瘡，被人放在財主門口，
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.
21要得財主桌子上掉下來的 零碎 充飢，並且狗來舔他的瘡。
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.
22後來那討飯的死了，被天使帶去放在 亞伯拉罕 的懷裏。財主也死了，並且埋葬了。
23And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:
23他在陰間受痛苦，舉目遠遠地望見 亞伯拉罕 ，又望見 拉撒路 在他懷裏，
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.
24就喊着說：『我祖 亞伯拉罕 哪，可憐我吧！打發 拉撒路 來，用指頭尖蘸點水，涼涼我的舌頭；因為我在這火焰裏，極其痛苦。』
25And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
25亞伯拉罕 說：『兒啊，你該回想你生前享過福， 拉撒路 也受過苦；如今他在這裏得安慰，你倒受痛苦。
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.
26不但這樣，並且在你我之間，有深淵限定，以致人要從這邊過到你們那邊是不能的；要從那邊過到我們這邊也是不能的。』
27And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,
27財主說：『我祖啊！既是這樣，求你打發 拉撒路 到我父家去；
28That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.
28因為我還有五個弟兄，他可以對他們作見證，免得他們也來到這痛苦的地方。』
29And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
29亞伯拉罕 說：『他們有 摩西 和先知 的話 可以聽從。』
30But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.
30他說：『我祖 亞伯拉罕 哪，不是的，若有一個從死裏 復活的 ，到他們那裏去的，他們必要悔改。』
31And he said to him: If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe, if one rise again from the dead.
31亞伯拉罕 說：『若不聽從 摩西 和先知 的話 ，就是有一個從死裏復活的，他們也是不聽勸。』」
