2 G2532 And G5455 he called [G5660] G846 him G2036 , and said [G5627] G846 unto him G5101 , How G191 is it that I hear [G5719] G5124 this G4012 of G4675 thee G591 ? give [G5628] G3056 an account G4675 of thy G3622 stewardship G1063 ; for G1410 thou mayest be [G5695] G3756 no G2089 longer G3621 steward [G5721] .

3 G1161 Then G3623 the steward G2036 said [G5627] G1722 within G1438 himself G5101 , What G4160 shall I do [G5661] G3754 ? for G3450 my G2962 lord G851 taketh away [G5731] G575 from G1700 me G3622 the stewardship G3756 : I cannot G2480 [G5719] G4626 dig [G5721] G1871 ; to beg [G5721] G153 I am ashamed [G5727] .

Mace⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jesus said likewise to his disciples, a certain rich man had an information against his steward, for making havock of his estate. ² upon making him appear, he said to him, what information is this, I hear against thee? give an account of your administration, for you must not be my steward any longer. ³ upon which the steward said in himself, what shall I do, now my master strips me of my employment? dig I cannot: and 'tis shameful to beg: I see it now, ⁴ I must do something that will secure me a reception in other families, when I have lost my place in this. ⁵ so he sent for every one of his master's debtors in private, he ask'd the first, how much do you owe my master? ⁶ a hundred measures of oil, said he. take your bill, said the steward, sit down there, and write out one immediately for fifty. ⁷ then he said to another, how much do you owe? a hundred measures of wheat, said he. take your bill, says the steward, and write out one for fourscore. ⁸ and this unfaithful steward was commended by his master for being so provident. for they who look to this world, manage their affairs with more prudence, than those who have a prospect of a better.

Whiston⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward;and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. ² And he called [him,] and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee?give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayst be no longer steward. ³ But the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do; that when I shalt be put from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called every one of his lords debters unto him, and said unto the first, how much owest thou unto my lord? ⁶ And he said,An hundred baths of oyl. But he said unto him, take thy bills, and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said,An hundred cores of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. ⁸ And the lord commended the unjust steward because he had done prudently, wherefore I say unto you, the children of this age are in their generation more prudent than the children of light.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward: and he was accused to him as wasting his goods. ² And calling him, he said to him, Why hear I this of thee?

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods. ² And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward. ³ And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil. ⁶ And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another, And how much owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. ⁸ And his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser than the children of light.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures. ² And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses. ⁵ So calling upon every one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? ⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore. ⁸ And the master praised the unjust steward, because he had acted providently: for the children of this world are more provident among their own generation of men, than the children of light.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then he said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward. And this steward was accused of having wasted his substance. ² So having called him, he said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship; for thou canst no longer be steward. ³ Thereupon the steward said within himself, What am I to do, since my lord taketh from me the stewardship; I am not able to dig: to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, I may be received into their houses. ⁵ So having sent severally for every of his lord's tenants, he said to the first, How much art thou to pay to my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. Thereupon he said to him, Take thy lease, and sit down quickly, and write Fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another, And how much art thou to pay? And he said, a hundred cores of wheat. Whereupon he saith to him, Take thy lease and write eighty. ⁸ And the master commended the unjust steward, because he had acted prudently. Because the children of this world are more prudent for their generation, than the children of the light, are for theirs;

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward; and the same was accused to him that he had wasted his goods. ² And he called him, and said to him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship: for thou mayest be no longer steward. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I am resolved what to do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called every one of his lord's debtors, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ He said, likewise, to his disciples, A certain rich man had a steward, who was accused to him of wasting his estate. ² Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? My master takes from me the stewardship; I can not dig, and am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I am resolved what to do, that when I am discarded, there may be some who will receive me into their houses. ⁵ Having, therefore, sent severally for all his master's debtors, he asked one, How much do you owe my master? ⁶ He answered, A hundred baths of oil. Take back your bill, said the steward, sit down directly, and write fifty. ⁷ Then he asked another, How much do you owe? He answered, A hundred homers of wheat. Take back your bill, said he, and write eighty. ⁸ The master commended the prudence of the unjust steward; for the children of this world are more prudent in conducting their affairs, than the children of light.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief;[Rab-baitho.] and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted. ² And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me. ³ And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord? ⁶ And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres. ⁷ And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen* of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen.

1 G1161 And G3004 he said G2532 also G4314 unto G846 the G3101 disciples, G2258 There was G5100 a certain G4145 rich G444 man, G3739 who G2192 had G3623 a steward; G2532 and G3778 the same G1225 was accused G846 unto him G5613 that G1287 he was wasting G846 his G5224 goods.

2 G2532 And G5455 he called G846 him, G2532 and G2036 said G846 unto him, G5124 What is this G191 that I hear G4012 of G4675 thee? G591 render G3056 the account G4675 of thy G3622 stewardship; G1063 for G1410 thou canst be G3756 no G2089 longer G3621 steward.

3 G1161 And G3623 the steward G2036 said G1722 within G1438 himself, G5101 What G4160 shall I do, G3754 seeing G3450 that my G2962 lord G851 taketh away G3622 the stewardship G575 from G1700 me? G2480 I have G2480 not G4626 strength to dig; G1871 to beg G153 I am ashamed.

4 G1097 I am resolved G5101 what G4160 to do, G2443 that, G3752 when G3179 I am put out G3622 of the stewardship, G1209 they may receive G3165 me G1519 into G846 their G3624 houses.

5 G2532 And G4341 calling G1538 to him each G1520 one G1438 of his G2962 lord's G5533 debtors, G3004 he said G4413 to the first, G4214 How much G3784 owest thou G3450 unto my G2962 lord?

6 G1161 And G2036 he said, G1540 A hundred G943 measures G1637 of oil. G2532 And G2036 he said G846 unto him, G1209 Take G4675 thy G1121 bond, G2532 and G2523 sit down G5030 quickly G1125 and write G4004 fifty.

7 G1899 Then G2036 said he G2087 to another, G1161 And G4214 how much G3784 owest G4771 thou? G1161 And G2036 he said, G1540 A hundred G2884 measures G4621 of wheat. G2532 He G3004 saith G846 unto him, G1209 Take G4675 thy G1121 bond, G2532 and G1125 write G3589 fourscore.

8 G2532 And G2962 his lord G1867 commended G93 the unrighteous G3623 steward G3754 because G4160 he had done G5430 wisely: G3754 for G5207 the sons G5127 of this G165 world G1526 are G3754 for G1438 their G1074 own generation G5429 wiser G5228 than G5207 the sons G5457 of the light.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also unto the disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward, and the same was accused unto him that he was wasting his goods. ² And he called him, and said unto him, What is this that I hear of thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, seeing that my lord taketh away the stewardship from me?

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he went on to say, unto his disciples also,––There was, a certain rich man, who had a steward, and, the same, was accused to him as squandering his goods. ² And, accosting him, he said unto him––What is this I hear of thee? Render the account of thy stewardship, for thou canst no longer be steward. ³ And the steward said within himself––What shall I do, because my lord taketh away the stewardship from me? Dig, I cannot: to beg, I am ashamed. ⁴ I know what I will do, that, when I am removed out of the stewardship, they may welcome me into their own houses. ⁵ And, calling unto him each one of the debtors of his own lord, he was saying unto the first,––How much owest thou my lord? ⁶ And, he, said––A hundred baths of oil. And, he, said unto him––Kindly take thine accounts, and, sitting down, make haste and write––Fifty! ⁷ After that, unto another, he said––And how much owest, thou? And, he, said––A hundred homers of wheat. He saith unto him––Kindly take thine accounts, and write––Eighty! ⁸ And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, in that with forethought he acted:––Because, the sons of this age, have more forethought than the sons of light, respecting their own generation.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jesus said to his disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate. ² So the master called him and said 'What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.' ³ 'What am I to do,' the steward asked himself, 'now that my master is taking the steward's place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.' ⁵ One by one he called up his master's debtors. 'How much do you owe my master?' he asked of the first. ⁶ 'Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,' answered the man. 'Here is your agreement,' he said; 'sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.' ⁷ And you, the steward said to the next, 'how much do you owe?' 'Seventy quarters of wheat,' he replied. 'Here is your agreement,' the steward said; 'make it fifty-six.' ⁸ His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow-men than those who have the Light.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as wasting his goods. ² And having called him, he said to him, What is this which I hear concerning thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou art not able to be steward any longer. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, because my lord takes away my stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I shall do, in order that when I am deposed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ And calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ And he said; A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your accounts, and sitting down quickly write fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another one, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your account, and write fourscore. ⁸ And the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness because he acted shrewdly: because the sons of this age are wiser in their generation than the sons of the light.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property. ² He called him and said, "'What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.' ³ "Then the steward said within himself, "'What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed. ⁴ I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.' ⁵ "So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, 'How much are you in debt to my master?' ⁶ "'A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "'Here is your account,' said the steward: 'sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.' ⁷ "To a second he said, "'And how much do you owe?' "'A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "'Here is your account,' said he: 'change it into eighty quarters.' ⁸ "And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light.

Worrell⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He said also to His disciples, "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and the same was accused to him as squandering his goods. ² And, calling him, he said to him, 'What is this I hear of you? Render the account of your stewardship; for you can be no longer steward.' ³ And the steward said in himself, 'What shall I do? because my lord takes away the stewardship from me! To dig, I have not strength; to beg, I am ashamed! ⁴ I resolved what to do; that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.' ⁵ And, calling to him each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my lord?' ⁶ And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your accounts, and, sitting down, quickly write, Fifty.' ⁷ After that he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He says to him, 'Take your accounts, and write, Four score.' ⁸ And the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness, because he acted prudently; because the sons of this age are more prudent toward their own generation, than the sons of light.

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ He also said to the disciples: "There was a rich man who had a factor, and this factor, he found, was accused of misapplying his property. ² So he summoned him and said, 'What is this I hear about you? Hand in your accounts; you cannot be factor any longer.' ³ The factor said to himself, 'What am I to do, now that my master is taking the factorship away from me? I am too weak to dig, I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ Ah, I know what I will do, so that people will welcome me to their houses when I am deposed from the factorship.' ⁵ So he summoned every single one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much are you owing to my master?' ⁶ 'A hundred barrels of oil,' he said. The factor told him, 'Here is your bill; sit down at once and enter fifty barrels.' ⁷ Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' 'A hundred quarters of wheat,' he said. 'Here is your bill,' said the factor, 'just enter eighty.' ⁸ Well, the master praised the dishonest factor for looking ahead; for the children of this world look further ahead in dealing with their own generation than the children of Light.

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said to his disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and it was reported to him that this man was squandering his property. ² So he called him in and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Make an accounting for your conduct of my affairs, for you cannot be manager any longer!' ³ Then the manager said to himself, 'What am I going to do, because my master is going to take my position away from me? I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my position people will take me into their homes.' ⁵ Then he called in each of his master's debtors, and he said to the first one, 'How much do you owe my master?' ⁶ He said, 'Eight hundred gallons of oil.' And he said to him, 'Here is your agreement; sit right down and write four hundred!' ⁷ Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' He answered, 'Fifteen hundred bushels of wheat.' He said to him, 'Here is your agreement; write twelve hundred.' ⁸ And his master praised the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. For the sons of this age are shrewder in their relation to their own age than the sons of the light.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ HE said to his disciples, "A certain rich man had a manager who was accused to him of wasting his property. ² Calling him to him, he said, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your management; for you cannot longer be manager.' ³ The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do? for my master is going to take the management away from me. I have not strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am dismissed from the management they may welcome me into their houses.' ⁵ So, calling to him all of the debtors of his master, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe to my master?' ⁶ He replied, 'A hundred measures of oil.' He said, 'Take your account and sit down quickly and write fifty.' ⁷ Then to another he said, 'And you, how much do you owe?' He replied, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your account and write eighty.' ⁸ The master praised the wicked manager because he had done prudently. For the sons of this world are with reference to their own generation wiser than the sons of light.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ To his disciples he said: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was accused to him of wasting his property. ² "He called to him to him and said: "'What is this that I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be steward.' ³ "Now the steward said to himself. 'What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my stewardship? I am not strong enough to dig, to beg I am ashamed. ⁴ "'I know what I will do, so that when I am put out of my stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.' ⁵ "So he called to him each of his master's debtors and said to the first, 'How much money do you owe my master?' ⁶ "'A hundred measures of oil,' he answered. "He said to him, 'Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty." ⁷ "To a second he said, 'How much do you owe?' "The man answered, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' "'Here is you bill,' he said, 'change it to eighty measures.' ⁸ "And the master praised the unjust steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this world are in relation to their own generation wiser than the sons of the light.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ AND he spoke a parable to his dis ciples, There was a rich man, who had a steward; and they accused him that he was wasting his wealth. ² So his master called him and said to him, What is this that I hear concerning you? Give me an account of your stewardship; for no longer can you be a steward for me. ³ Then the steward said to himself, What will I do? for my lord will take away from me the stewardship? I cannot dig, and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ Now I know what I will do, so that when I leave the stewardship, they will receive me in their houses. ⁵ And he called his lordÆs debtors, one by one, and said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ He said to him, A hundred pounds of butter. He said to him, Take your note, sit down quickly, and write fifty pounds. ⁷ And he said to another, And you, what do you owe to my lord? He said to him, One hundred bushels of wheat. He said to him, Take your note, and sit down and write eighty bushels. ⁸ And the lord praised the unjust steward because he had done wisely; for the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now He said to His disciples also, "A certain man, who was rich, had an administrator, and this man was accused to him by an adversary as dissipating his possessions." ² And summoning him, he said to him, 'What is this I am hearing concerning you? Render an account of your administration, for you can no longer be administrator.'" ³ Now the administrator said in himself, 'What shall I be doing, seeing that my lord will be wresting the administration from me? To dig I am not strong enough." ⁴ To be a mendicant I am ashamed. I knew what I shall be doing that whenever I may be deposed from the administration, they should be receiving me into their homes.'" ⁵ And calling to him each one of the debtors paying usury to his lord, he said to the first, 'How much are you owing my lord?'" ⁶ Now he said to him, 'A hundred baths of oil.' Now he said to him, 'Receive your bills, and, being seated, quickly write fifty.'" ⁷ Thereupon to another he said, 'Now you, how much are you owing?' Now he said, 'A hundred cors of grain.' And he is saying to him, 'Receive your bills, and write eighty.'" ⁸ And the lord applauds the unjust administrator, for he does prudently, for the sons of this eon are more prudent, above the sons of light in their own generation."

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now He was saying to the disciples: "Once there was a rich man who had a household manager, and he was accused to his master of squandering the latter's property. ² So he called the manager to him and said, 'What is this that I am hearing about you? Balance your accounts and show how you are conducting my affairs, for you cannot be manager any longer.' ³ Then the manager said to himself, What shall I do, because my master is going to take my position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do -- I will ask them to take me into their homes when I am removed from my position. ⁵ So he called in each of his master's debtors, and asked the first one, 'How much do you owe my master?' ⁶ He answered, 'Nine hundred gallons of oil.' Then he said to him, 'Take your bill and sit right down and write four hundred and fifty.' ⁷ Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' He answered, 'Twelve hundred bushels of wheat:' He said to him, 'Take your bill and write nine hundred and sixty.' ⁸ And his master praised the dishonest manager, because he acted with shrewd business sense, for the men of the world act with more business sense toward their fellows than the men who enjoy spiritual light.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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. ² 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. ³ 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. ⁴ 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. ⁵ 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? ⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty. ⁷ 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. ⁸ 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.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He also said to His disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a steward. And he was accused to him, that he had wasted his goods. ² And he called him and said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you may no longer be steward. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am put out of the stewardship they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called every one of his lord's debtors and said; to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty. ⁷ And he said to another, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him, Take your bill and write eighty. ⁸ And the unjust steward's lord commended him because he had done wisely. For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And He also said to His disciples, A certain man was rich; and he had a steward, and this one was accused to him as wasting his goods. ² And calling him, he said to him, What is this I hear about you? Give the account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward. ³ And the steward said within himself, What shall I do, for my Lord is taking away the stewardship from me? I am not able to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, that when I am removed from the stewardship, they will receive me into their houses. ⁵ And calling to him each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said to him, Take your statements and sitting quickly write fifty. ⁷ Then he said to another, And you, how much do you owe? And he said, a hundred cors of wheat. And he said to him, Take your statement and write eighty. ⁸ And the lord praised the unrighteous steward, because he acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of light themselves are in their generation.

YAH SHUA ON THE THOUGHTFUL ADMINISTRATOR
And he also words to his disciples, A rich human has an administrator; who is accused of squandering his holdings: ² and he voices out to him, and says to him, What hear I concerning you? Give word of your administration; for you are not still my administrator. ³ And the administrator says within himself, What do I? - for my adoni removes the administration from me: I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg: ⁴ I know what to do: whenever I am removed from the administration, that they receive me into their houses. ⁵ And he calls each one of the debtors of his adoni to him; and words to the first, How much are you indebted to my adoni? ⁶ And he says, A hundred baths of olive oil. And he says to him, Receive your scribing, and sit down quickly and scribe fifty. ⁷ Then he says to another, And how much are you indebted? And he says, A hundred kors of grain. And he words to him, Receive your scribing and scribe eighty. ⁸ And Adonay halals the unjust administrator because he did thoughtfully: for the sons of this eon in their generation are more thoughtful than the sons of light.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Jesus said to His disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a property manager who was reported to be squandering his possessions. ² So, he called his property manager in and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in a [full] report of [all] your financial transactions, for you are not working for me anymore.’ ³ Then the property manager said to himself, What am I going to do since my master is taking away my job? I am not strong enough to dig [i.e., as a farm laborer], and I am too ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so when I am fired they [i.e., his master’s customers] will welcome me into their homes. ⁵ So, he called on each one of his master’s customers and said to the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ⁶ And he replied, ‘Eight hundred gallons of [olive] oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your contract and quickly sit down and write in four hundred [gallons].’ ⁷ Then he said to another [customer], ‘And how much do you owe [him]?’ And he answered, ‘One thousand bushels of wheat.’ The property manager said to him, ‘Take your contract and write eight hundred [bushels].’ ⁸ So, his master commended the dishonest property manager for his shrewdness. For worldly people are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of light [i.e., God’s people].

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he also said to his disciples, There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as squandering things possessed by him. ² And having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about thee? Render the account of thy management, for thou can no longer manage. ³ And the manager said within himself, What shall I do because my lord takes away the management from me? I am not able to dig. I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ And having summoned each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do thou owe to my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of olive oil. And he said to him, Receive thy document, and having sat down, quickly write fifty. ⁷ Next he said to another, And how much do thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he says to him, Receive thy document, and write eighty. ⁸ And his lord commended the unrighteous manager because he did shrewdly. Because the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the light.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ He also said to his disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and an accusation was brought to him that this man was wasting his goods. ² So he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you?

1 G1161 And G3004 he said G2532 also G4314 to G846 his G3101 disciples, G2258 There was G5100 a certain G4145 rich G444 man, G3739 which G2192 had G3623 a steward; G2532 and G3778 the same G1225 was accused G846 before him G5613 that G1287 he had wasted G846 his G5224 goods.

2 G2532 And G5455 he called G846 him, G2036 and said G846 to him, G5101 How is it G191 that I hear G5124 this G4012 of G4675 you? G591 Give G3056 an account G4675 of your G3622 stewardship; G1063 for G1410 you may be G3756 no G2089 longer G3621 steward.

3 G1161 Then G3623 the steward G2036 said G1722 inside G1438 himself, G5101 What G4160 shall I do? G3754 For G3450 my G2962 lord G851 takes away G575 from G1700 me G3622 the stewardship: G2480 I cannot G3756 G4626 dig; G1871 to beg G153 I am ashamed.

4 G1097 I am resolved G5101 what G4160 I must do, G2443 that, G3752 when G3179 I am put out G3622 of the stewardship, G1209 they may receive G3165 me G1519 into G846 their G3624 houses.

5 G2532 So G4341 he called G1538 every G1520 one G1438 of his G2962 lord's G5533 debtors G3004 to him, and said G4413 to the first, G4214 How much G3784 do you owe G3450 to my G2962 lord?

6 G1161 And G2036 he said, G1540 A hundred G943 measures G1637 of oil. G2532 And G2036 he said G846 to him, G1209 Take G4675 your G1121 bill, G2532 and G2523 sit down G5030 quickly, G1125 and write G4004 fifty.

7 G1899 Then G2036 said he G2087 to another, G1161 And G4214 how much G3784 owe G4771 you? G1161 And G2036 he said, G1540 A hundred G2884 measures G4621 of wheat. G2532 And G3004 he said G846 to him, G1209 Take G4675 your G1121 bill, G2532 and G1125 write G3589 eighty.

8 G2532 And G2962 the lord G1867 commended G93 the unjust G3623 steward, G3754 because G4160 he had done G5430 wisely: G3754 for G5207 the sons G5127 of this G165 world G1526 are G1519 in G1438 their G1074 generation G5429 wiser G5228 than G5207 the sons G5457 of light.

RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he said also unto his disciples, 'A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering his goods; ² and having called him, he said to him, What is this I hear about you? render the account of your stewardship, for you may not any longer be steward. ³ 'And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because my lord does take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: -- ⁴ I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses. ⁵ 'And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much do you owe to my lord? ⁶ and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take your bill, and having sat down write fifty. ⁷ 'Afterward to another he said, And you, how much do you owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he said to him, Take your bill, and write eighty. ⁸ 'And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to their generation.

EJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ And he said also unto 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. ² And he called him and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for thou may no longer be steward. ³ Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord takes the stewardship away from me; I cannot dig, and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I shall do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. ⁵ So he called each one of his lord’s debtors unto him and said unto the first, How much dost thou owe unto my lord? ⁶ And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill and sit down quickly and write fifty. ⁷ Then said he to another, And how much dost thou owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill and write eighty. ⁸ And the lord commended the unjust steward because he had done discreetly; for the sons of this age are in their generation more prudent than the sons of light.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ He also said to His disciples: "There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this man was accused to him as wasting his possessions. ² And calling him, he said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.' ³ "Then the manager said within himself, 'What shall I do? For my master is taking the management away from me. I cannot dig; I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management, they will receive me into their houses.' ⁵ And having summoned each one of his master's debtors to him, he said to the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' ⁶ And he said, 'A hundred baths of olive oil.' So he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.' ⁷ Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' So he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.' ⁸ So the master praised the unrighteous manager because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of light.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of wasting his goods. ² So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’ ³ Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I don’t have strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg ⁴ —I know what I’ll do, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’ ⁵ Summoning each one of his master’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ⁶ And he said, ‘A hundred baths of olive oil’. So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty’. ⁷ Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat’. So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty’. ⁸ The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the Light.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So He went on saying to the disciples, "A certain person (human being) who was rich had a house manager (administrator; steward), and this [manager] was accused (thrust-through with charges brought by an adversary; [note: from this verb comes the noun "one who thrusts-through," commonly rendered "devil"]) to him as habitually squandering his possessions and means of subsistence by thoroughly scattering and wasting [them]. ² "And so, upon summoning him, he said to him, 'What [is] this [that] I am continually hearing about you (or: Why am I now hearing this concerning you)? Turn in the account (= Hand over the books for an audit) of your management (administration; stewardship), for you are no longer able to be [the] manager of the household.' ³ "So the manager said within himself, 'What shall I do, because my master (lord; = employer) is in the process of taking the management (the administration) away from me? I am not strong to be habitually digging; I am ashamed and feel disgrace to make a life of begging. ⁴ "'I know from experience what I will proceed in doing, so that, whenever I am actually transferred (or: may have my position changed) from out of the management (the position of administration), folks may welcome and receive me into their own houses (or: homes).' ⁵ "And then, after calling to himself each one of his own master's (lord's; = employer's) debtors, he was saying to the first one, 'How much do you continue owing to my master (lord; = employer)?' ⁶ "So he said, 'One hundred baths (Hebrew liquid measure: = about five to nine hundred gallons [estimates vary]) of olive oil.' So [the manager] said to him, 'Take in hand (= take back) your writings (the notes; the contracts; the invoices) and, after sitting down, quickly write [a new one for] fifty.' ⁷ "Next, he said to a different person, 'You there – how much are you continuing to owe?' So he said, 'One hundred cors (Hebrew dry measure: = about a thousand bushels) of grain.' He said to him, 'Take in hand (= take back) your writings (contracts; invoices), and write [a new one for] eighty.' ⁸ "And so the master (lord; = employer) commended (added praise and applause to) the estate-manager in regard to the disregard for what is right (the injustice; the actions which were not in accord with the way pointed out; = the dishonesty), because he acted thoughtfully (or: performed intelligently in considering [the situation]), because, you see, the sons of this age (= the people who have the qualities and display the character of the current age and present period of time) exist being (or: are) more thoughtful, prudent and intelligent with common sense than (or: above) the sons of the Light (= people of the covenant with revealed knowledge of the way of life) [are] unto (or: respecting; with a view to) their own generation.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jesus told his disciples: »There was a rich man who had a servant who managed his property. The rich man learned that the manager was accused of wasting his master’s money. ² »He said: ‘Is it true what I hear about you? Give me a complete accounting of your management of my property for you may not be my manager any longer.’ ³ »The servant thought: ‘I am fired from my job. What shall I do? I am not strong enough for heavy work and I am ashamed to beg. ⁴ »‘I know what I will do when my job is gone. My friends will welcome me in their homes.’ ⁵ »He called all the people who were in debt to his master. He asked the first one: ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ⁶ »‘One hundred barrels of olive oil,’ he said. ‘Here is your bill,’ he told him; ‘settle for fifty.’ ⁷ »He asked another: ‘How much do you owe?’ ‘A thousand bushels of wheat,’ he answered. ‘Here is your bill. Pay eight hundred bushels.’ ⁸ »The master of the dishonest manager praised him for doing a shrewd thing. People of this world are more astute at handling their affairs than people who belong to the light.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ The Parable about a Dishonest ManagerNow Jesus was saying to the disciples, “A rich man had a servant manager who was accused of wasting his assets. ² So he called for him and asked him, ‘What’s this I hear about you? You can’t be my manager any longer. Now give me a report about your management!’
³ “Then the servant manager told himself, ‘What should I do? My master is taking my position away from me. I’m not strong enough to plow, and I’m ashamed to beg. ⁴ I know what I’ll do so that people will welcome me into their homes when I’m dismissed from my job.’
⁵ “So he called for each of his master’s debtors. He asked the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ ⁶ The man replied, ‘A hundred jars of olive oil.’ The manager told him, ‘Get your bill. Sit down quickly and write “50.”’ ⁷ Then he asked another debtor, ‘How much do you owe?’ The man replied, ‘A hundred containers of wheat.’ The manager told him, ‘Get your bill and write “80.”’ ⁸ The master praised the dishonest servant manager for being so clever, because worldly people are more clever than enlightened people in dealing with their own.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he also said to the disciples, "A certain man was rich, who had a manager.

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now also He was saying to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and was accused unto him as he is wasting his possessions. ² And having called him, he said to him, ‘What is this I hear concerning you?

³ But the steward said in himself, What should I do, because my lord is taking away the stewardship from me?

⁶ Now he said, A hundred eight-gallon containers of oil.

⁷ Thereafter, he said to a different one, and how much do you owe?
Now he said, A hundred twelve-bushel containers of grain.

Mein HERR nimmt das Amt von mir; graben mag ich nicht, so schäme ich mich zu betteln. ⁴ Ich weiß wohl, was ich tun will, wenn ich nun von dem Amt gesetzt werde; daß sie mich in ihre Häuser nehmen. ⁵ Und er rief zu sich alle Schuldner seines HERRN und sprach zu dem ersten: Wieviel bist du meinem HERRN schuldig? ⁶ Er sprach: Hundert Tonnen Öles.

Rends compte de ton administration; car tu ne pourras plus administrer. ³ Et l'économe dit en lui-même: Que ferai-je, car mon maître m'ôte l'administration? Je ne puis pas bêcher la terre; j'ai honte de mendier: ⁴ sais ce que je ferai, afin que, quand je serai renvoyé de mon administration, je sois reçu dans leurs maisons. ⁵ Et ayant appelé chacun des débiteurs de son maître, il dit au premier: Combien dois-tu à mon maître? ⁶ Et il dit: cent baths d'huile. Et il lui dit: Prends ton écrit, et assieds-toi promptement et écris cinquante. ⁷ Puis il dit à un autre: Et toi, combien dois-tu? Et il dit: cent cors de froment. Et il lui dit: Prends ton écrit, et écris quatre-vingt. ⁸ Et le maître loua l'économe injuste parce qu'il avait agi prudemment.

3 G1161 G3623 L’économe G2036 dit G5627 G1722 en G1438 lui-même G5101 : Que G4160 ferai-je G5661 G3754 , puisque G3450 mon G2962 maître G575 m G1700 G851 ’ôte G5731 G3622 l’administration G4626 de ses biens ? Travailler à la terre G5721 G3756 ? je ne G2480 le puis G5719 G1871 . Mendier G5721 G153 ? j’en ai honte G5727 .

4 G1097 Je sais G5627 G5101 ce G2443 que G4160 je ferai G5692 G3165 , pour qu’il y ait des gens qui me G1209 reçoivent G5667 G1519 dans G846 leurs G3624 maisons G3752 quand G3179 je serai destitué G5686 G3622 de mon emploi.

5 G2532 Et G4341 , faisant venir G5666 G1538 chacun G1520 G5533 des débiteurs G1438 de son G2962 maître G3004 , il dit G5707 G4413 au premier G4214 : Combien G3784 dois-tu G5719 G3450 à mon G2962 maître ?

6 G1161 G1540 Cent G943 mesures G1637 d’huile G2036 , répondit-il G5627 G2532 . Et G846 il lui G2036 dit G5627 G1209 : Prends G5663 G4675 ton G1121 billet G2532 , G2523 assieds-toi G5660 G5030 vite G1125 , et écris G5657 G4004 cinquante.

7 G2036 Il dit G5627 G1899 ensuite G2087 à un autre G1161 : Et G4214 toi, combien G3784 dois G5719 G4771 -tu G1161 ? G1540 Cent G2884 mesures G4621 de blé G2036 , répondit-il G5627 G2532 . Et G846 il lui G3004 dit G5719 G1209 : Prends G5663 G4675 ton G1121 billet G2532 , et G1125 écris G5657 G3589 quatre-vingts.

8 G2532 G2962 Le maître G1867 loua G5656 G3623 l’économe G93 infidèle G3754 de ce qu G4160 ’il avait agi G5656 G5430 prudemment G3754 . Car G5207 les enfants G5127 de ce G165 siècle G1526 sont G5748 G5429 plus prudents G1519 à G1438 l’égard de leurs G1074 semblables G5228 que G5207 ne le sont les enfants G5457 de lumière.

Cavar, no puedo; mendigar, tengo vergüenza. ⁴ Yo sé lo que haré para que cuando fuere quitado de la mayordomía, me reciban en sus casas. ⁵ Y llamando a cada uno de los deudores de su señor, dijo al primero: ¿Cuánto debes a mi señor? ⁶ Y él dijo: Cien batos de aceite.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tani ai u foli akoma dishepujve të vet: ''Ishte një njeri i pasur që kishte një administrator; këtë e paditën se po ia shkapërderdhte pasurinë e tij. ² Atëherë ai e thirri dhe i tha: "Ç'është kjo që po dëgjoj për ty? Më jep llogari për ato që ke administruar, sepse ti nuk mund të jesh më administratori im". ³ Dhe administratori tha me vete: "Ç'do të bëj unë tani, që zotëria im po ma heq administrimin? Të gërmoj, s'e bëj dot, dhe të lyp, më vjen turp. ⁴ E di ç'do të bëj që njerëzit të më pranojnë në shtëpitë e tyre kur të hiqem nga administrimi". ⁵ I thirri atëherë një nga një ata që i detyroheshin zotërisë së tij dhe i tha të parit: "Sa i detyrohesh zotërisë tim?". ⁶ Ai u përgjigj: "Njëqind bato vaj". Atëherë ai i tha: "Merre dëftesën tënde, ulu dhe shkruaj shpejt pesëdhjetë". ⁷ Pastaj i tha një tjetri: "Po ti sa i detyrohesh?". Ai u përgjigj: "Njëqind kora grurë".

И сказал ему: возьми твою расписку и садись скорее, напиши: пятьдесят. ⁷ Потом другому сказал: а ты сколько должен? Он отвечал: сто мер пшеницы. И сказал ему: возьмитвою расписку и напиши: восемьдесят. ⁸ И похвалил господин управителя неверного, что догадливо поступил; ибо сыны века сего догадливее сынов света всвоем роде.

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Каза още на учениците си: Един богаташ имаше настойник, когото обвиниха пред него, че разпилявал имота му. ² И той го повика и му каза: Какво е това, което слушам за теб? Дай сметка за настойничеството си защото не можеш вече да бъдеш настойник. ³ Тогава настойникът си каза: Какво да направя, след като господарят ми отнема от мен настойничеството? Нямам сила да копая, а да прося ме е срам. ⁴ Сетих се какво да направя, за да ме приемат в къщите си, когато бъда отстранен от настойничеството. ⁵ И като повика всеки от длъжниците на господаря си, каза на първия: Колко дължиш на господаря ми? ⁶ А той каза: Сто мери масло. И му каза: Вземи разписката си и бързо седни и напиши: петдесет. ⁷ После каза на друг: А ти колко дължиш? А той отговори: Сто мери жито. И му каза: Вземи разписката си и напиши: осемдесет. ⁸ И господарят похвали неверния настойник за това, че е постъпил хитроумно; защото синовете на този свят са по-хитроумни спрямо своето поколение от синовете на светлината.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Govoraše i svojim učenicima: "Bijaše neki bogat čovjek koji je imao upravitelja. ² Ovaj je bio optužen pred njim kao da mu rasipa imanje. On ga pozva pa mu reče: 'Što to čujem o tebi? Položi račun o svom upravljanju jer više ne možeš biti upravitelj!' ³ Nato upravitelj reče u sebi: 'Što da učinim kad mi gospodar moj oduzima upravu? Kopati? Nemam snage. Prositi? Stidim se. ⁴ Znam što ću da me prime u svoje kuće kad budem maknut s uprave.'" ⁵ "I pozva dužnike svoga gospodara, jednog po jednog. Upita prvoga: 'Koliko duguješ gospodaru mojemu?' On reče: 'Sto bata ulja.' ⁶ A on će mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu, sjedni brzo, napiši pedeset.' ⁷ Zatim reče drugomu: 'A ti, koliko ti duguješ?' On odgovori: 'Sto kora pšenice.' Kaže mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu i napiši osamdeset.'" ⁸ "I pohvali gospodar nepoštenog upravitelja što snalažljivo postupi jer sinovi su ovoga svijeta snalažljiviji prema svojima od sinova svjetlosti."

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pravil pak i k učedlníkům svým: Člověk jeden byl bohatý, kterýž měl šafáře; a ten obžalován jest před ním, jako by mrhal statek jeho. ² I povolav ho, řekl jemu: Což to slyším o tobě? Vydej počet z vladařství svého, neb již nebudeš moci déle vládnouti. ³ I dí vladař sám v sobě: Co učiním? Teď pán můj odjímá ode mne vladařství. Kopati nemohu, žebrati se stydím. ⁴ Vím, co učiním, aby, když budu zbaven vladařství, přijali mne do svých domů. ⁵ I zavolav jednoho každého dlužníka pána svého, řekl prvnímu: Jaks mnoho dlužen pánu mému? ⁶ A on řekl: Sto tun oleje. I řekl mu: Vezmi rejistra svá, a sedna rychle, napiš padesát. ⁷ Potom druhému řekl: Ty pak jaks mnoho dlužen? Kterýž řekl: Sto korců pšenice. I dí mu: Vezmi rejistra svá, a napiš osmdesát. ⁸ I pochválil pán vladaře nepravého, že sobě opatrně učinil. Nebo synové tohoto světa opatrnější jsou, nežli synové světla v svých věcech.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men han sagde og til sine Disciple: der var en rig Mand, som havde en Huusholder, og denne blev beført for ham, at han ødte hans Gods. ² Og han kaldte ham og sagde til ham: hvi hører jeg dette om dig? Gjør Regnskab for din Huusholdning; thi du kan ikke længere forstaae Huset. ³ Men Huusholderen sagde ved sig selv: hvad skal jeg gjøre, efterdi min Herren tager Huusholdningen fra mig? Jeg formaaer ikke at grave, jeg skammer mig ved at trygle. ⁴ Jeg veed, hvad jeg vil gjøre, at de skulle tage mig i deres Huse, naar jeg bliver sat fra Huusholdningen. ⁵ Og han fremkaldte enhver af sin Herres Skyldnere og sagde til den første: hvor meget er du min Herre skyldig? ⁶ Men denne sagde: hundrede Fade Olie. Og han sagde til ham: tag dit Brev og sæt dig snart ned, og skriv helvtredsindstyve. ⁷ Derefter sagde han til en anden: men du, hvor meget er du skyldig? Men denne sagde: hundrede Maader Hvede. Og han sagde til ham: tag dit Brev og skriv firsindstyve. ⁸ Og Herren lovede den uretfærdige Huusholder, at han gjorde snildeligen; thi denne Verdens Børn ere klogere end Lysets Børn mod deres Slægt.

CUV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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。 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。 ³ 那管家心裡說：主人辭我，不用我再作管家，我將來作甚麼？鋤地呢？無力；討飯呢？怕羞。 ⁴ 我知道怎麼行，好叫人在我不作管家之後，接我到他們家裡去。 ⁵ 於是把欠他主人債的，一個一個的叫了來，問頭一個說：你欠我主人多少？ ⁶ 他說：一百簍（每簍約五十斤）油。管家說：拿你的賬，快坐下，寫五十。 ⁷ 又問一個說：你欠多少？他說：一百石麥子。管家說：拿你的賬，寫八十。 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。

2 G5455 主人叫 G846 他 G846 來，對他 G2036 說 G191 ：我聽見 G4675 你 G5124 這事 G5101 怎麼樣 G4675 呢？把你 G3622 所經管的 G591 G3056 交代明白 G1063 ，因 G3756 你不能 G2089 再 G1410 作 G3621 我的管家。

3 G3623 那管家 G1722 G1438 心裡 G2036 說 G2962 ：主人 G851 辭 G1700 我 G575 ，不用 G3622 我再作管家 G4160 ，我將來作 G5101 甚麼 G4626 ？鋤地 G3756 G2480 呢？無力 G1871 ；討飯 G153 呢？怕羞。

4 G1097 我知道 G5101 怎麼 G4160 行 G2443 ，好叫 G3752 人在 G3179 我不作 G3622 管家 G1209 之後，接 G3165 我 G1519 到 G846 他們 G3624 家裡去。

5 G2532 於是 G5533 把欠 G1438 他 G2962 主人 G1538 債的，一個 G1520 一個 G4341 的叫 G4413 了來，問頭一個 G3004 說 G3784 ：你欠 G3450 我 G2962 主人 G4214 多少？

6 G2036 他說 G1540 ：一百 G943 簍 G1637 （每簍約五十斤）油 G2036 。管家說 G1209 ：拿 G4675 你的 G1121 賬 G5030 ，快 G2523 坐下 G1125 ，寫 G4004 五十。

7 G1899 又 G2087 問一個 G2036 說 G4771 ：你 G3784 欠 G4214 多少 G2036 ？他說 G1540 ：一百 G2884 石 G4621 麥子 G3004 。管家說 G1209 ：拿 G4675 你的 G1121 賬 G1125 ，寫 G3589 八十。

8 G2962 主人 G2532 就 G1867 誇獎 G93 這不義的 G3623 管家 G4160 做事 G5430 聰明 G3754 。因為 G5127 今 G165 世 G5207 之子 G1519 ，在 G1438 G1074 世事 G1526 之上，較 G5228 比 G5457 光明 G5207 之子 G5429 更加聰明。

CUVS⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 耶稣又对门徒说：冇一个财主的管家，别人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物。 ² 主人叫他来，对他说：我听见你这事怎么样呢？把你所经管的交代明白，因你不能再作我的管家。 ³ 那管家心里说：主人辞我，不用我再作管家，我将来作甚么？锄地呢？无力；讨饭呢？怕羞。 ⁴ 我知道怎么行，好叫人在我不作管家之后，接我到他们家里去。 ⁵ 于是把欠他主人债的，一个一个的叫了来，问头一个说：你欠我主人多少？ ⁶ 他说：一百篓（每篓约五十斤）油。管家说：拿你的账，快坐下，写五十。 ⁷ 又问一个说：你欠多少？他说：一百石麦子。管家说：拿你的账，写八十。 ⁸ 主人就夸奖这不义的管家做事聪明。因为今世之子，在世事之上，较比光明之子更加聪明。

Estonian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Aga Ta ütles ka Oma jüngritele: "Oli keegi rikas mees, kellel oli majapidaja, ja seda oli tema ees süüdistatud, nagu pillaks see tema vara. ² Ta kutsus tema ja ütles talle: Kuidas ma seda kuulen sinust? Tee aru oma majapidamisest, sest sa ei või enam maja pidada! ³ Aga majapidaja mõtles iseeneses: Mis ma teen? Minu isand võtab mu käest majapidamise ära; kaevata ma ei jaksa, kerjata on mul häbi. ⁴ Ma tean, mis ma teen, et kui ma majapidamisest lahti saan, mind vastu võetaks nende kodadesse. ⁵ Ja ta kutsus enda juure igaühe oma isanda võlglasist ja ütles esimesele: Palju sul on võlgu minu isandaga? ⁶ See ütles: Sada vaati õli! Tema ütles talle: Võta oma arveraamat, istu maha ning kirjuta kohe viiskümmend! ⁷ Pärast ta ütles teisele: Aga palju on sinul võlgu? Tema vastas: Sada vakka nisu! Ja ta ütles talle: Võta oma arveraamat ning kirjuta kaheksakümmend! ⁸ Ja isand kiitis seda ülekohtust majapidajat, et ta arukalt oli teinud, sest selle maailma lapsed on oma sugupõlve suhtes arukamad kui valguse lapsed.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mutta hän sanoi myöskin opetuslapsillensa: oli rikas mies, jolla oli huoneenhaltia, ja hänen edessänsä kannettiin hänen päällensä, että hän oli hukuttanut hänen hyvyytensä. ² Ja hän kutsui hänen ja sanoi hänelle: miksi minä sinusta sen kuulen? tee luku hallituksestas; sillä et sinä saa tästedes hallita. ³ Niin huoneenhaltia sanoi itsellensä: mitä minä teen, sillä minun herrani ottaa minulta pois hallituksen? en minä voi kaivaa, häpeen minä kerjätä. ⁴ Minä tiedän, mitä minä teen, että kuin minä viralta pannaan pois, niin he korjaavat minun huoneesensa. ⁵ Ja hän kutsui tykönsä kaikki herransa velvolliset ja sanoi ensimäiselle: kuinka paljo sinä olet minun herralleni velkaa? ⁶ Mutta se sanoi: sata tynnyriä öljyä. Ja hän sanoi hänelle: ota kirjas ja istu pian, ja kirjoita viisikymmentä. ⁷ Sitte hän sanoi toiselle: kuinka paljon sinä olet velkaa? ja se sanoi: sata puntaa nisuja. Hän sanoi hänelle: ota kirjas ja kirjoita kahdeksankymmentä. ⁸ Ja herra kiitti väärää huoneenhaltiata, että hän toimellisesti teki; sillä tämän maailman lapset ovat toimellisemmat kuin valkeuden lapset heidän sukukunnassansa.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja hän puhui myös opetuslapsilleen: "Oli rikas mies, jolla oli huoneenhaltija, ja hänelle kanneltiin, että tämä hävitti hänen omaisuuttansa. ² Ja hän kutsui hänet eteensä ja sanoi hänelle: 'Mitä minä kuulenkaan sinusta? Tee tili huoneenhallituksestasi; sillä sinä et saa enää minun huonettani hallita.' ³ Niin huoneenhaltija sanoi mielessään: 'Mitä minä teen, kun isäntäni ottaa minulta pois huoneenhallituksen? Kaivaa minä en jaksa, kerjuuta häpeän. ⁴ Minä tiedän, mitä teen, että ottaisivat minut taloihinsa, kun minut pannaan pois huoneenhallituksesta.' ⁵ Ja hän kutsui luoksensa jokaisen herransa velallisista ja sanoi ensimmäiselle: 'Paljonko sinä olet velkaa minun herralleni?' ⁶ Tämä sanoi: 'Sata astiaa öljyä'. Niin hän sanoi hänelle: 'Tässä on velkakirjasi, istu ja kirjoita pian viisikymmentä'. ⁷ Sitten hän sanoi toiselle: 'Entä sinä, paljonko sinä olet velkaa?' Tämä sanoi: 'Sata tynnyriä nisuja'. Hän sanoi hänelle: 'Tässä on velkakirjasi, kirjoita kahdeksankymmentä'. ⁸ Ja herra kehui väärää huoneenhaltijaa siitä, että hän oli menetellyt ovelasti. Sillä tämän maailman lapset ovat omaa sukukuntaansa kohtaan ovelampia kuin valkeuden lapset.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Monda pedig az õ tanítványainak is: Vala egy gazdag ember, kinek vala egy sáfára; és az bevádoltaték nála, hogy javait eltékozolja. ² Hívá azért azt, és monda néki: Mit hallok felõled? Adj számot a te sáfárságodról; mert nem lehetsz tovább sáfár. ³ Monda pedig magában a sáfár: Mit míveljek, mivelhogy az én uram elveszi tõlem a sáfárságot? Kapálni nem tudok; koldulni szégyenlek! ⁴ Tudom mit tegyek, hogy mikor a sáfárságtól megfosztatom, befogadjanak engem házaikba. ⁵ És magához hivatván az õ urának minden egyes adósát, monda az elsõnek: Mennyivel tartozol az én uramnak? ⁶ Az pedig monda: Száz bátus olajjal. És monda néki: Vedd a te írásodat, és leülvén, hamar írj ötvent. ⁷ Azután monda másnak: Te pedig mennyivel tartozol? Az pedig monda: Száz kórus búzával. És monda annak: Vedd a te írásodat, és írj nyolczvanat. ⁸ És dícséré az úr a hamis sáfárt, hogy eszesen cselekedett, mert e világnak fiai eszesebbek a világosságnak fiainál a maguk nemében.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Yesus berkata kepada pengikut-pengikut-Nya, "Adalah seorang kaya. Ia mempunyai seorang pegawai keuangan yang mengurus kekayaannya. Orang kaya itu mendapat laporan bahwa pegawai keuangannya memboroskan uangnya. ² Jadi ia memanggil pegawai keuangan itu dan berkata, 'Apa ini yang saya dengar mengenai engkau? Sekarang, serahkan kepada saya laporan lengkap mengenai pekerjaanmu mengurus kekayaan saya. Engkau tidak boleh lagi menjadi pegawai keuangan saya.' ³ Maka pegawai keuangan itu berpikir, 'Saya harus berbuat apa sekarang? Tuan saya mau memecat saya. Mencangkul, saya tidak kuat; mengemis, saya malu. ⁴ Saya ada akal; apabila saya sudah dipecat, saya harus mempunyai banyak kawan yang mau menampung saya di rumah mereka!' ⁵ Jadi pegawai keuangan itu memanggil setiap orang yang berutang kepada tuannya. Kepada yang pertama, ia berkata, 'Berapa utangmu kepada tuan saya?' ⁶ Orang itu menjawab, 'Seratus tempayan minyak zaitun.' Pegawai itu berkata kepadanya, 'Ini surat utangmu. Duduklah dan cepatlah menulis: lima puluh.' ⁷ Kemudian ia berkata kepada orang yang kedua, 'Dan Saudara, berapa utang Saudara?' Orang itu menjawab, 'Seribu karung gandum.' Pegawai keuangan itu berkata kepadanya, 'Ini surat utangmu. Tulislah: delapan ratus.' ⁸ Maka majikan dari pegawai keuangan yang tidak jujur itu memuji pegawainya itu karena tindakannya yang cerdik itu; sebab orang-orang dunia ini lebih cerdik mengatur urusan mereka daripada orang-orang yang hidup dalam terang."

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ OR egli disse ancora a’ suoi discepoli: Vi era un uomo ricco, che avea un fattore; ed esso fu accusato dinanzi a lui, come dissipando i suoi beni. ² Ed egli lo chiamò, e gli disse: Che cosa è questo che io odo di te? rendi ragione del tuo governo, perciocchè tu non puoi più essere mio fattore. ³ E il fattore disse fra sè medesimo: Che farò? poichè il mio signore mi toglie il governo; io non posso zappare, e di mendicar mi vergogno. ⁴ Io so ciò che io farò, acciocchè, quando io sarò rimosso dal governo, altri mi riceva in casa sua. ⁵ Chiamati adunque ad uno ad uno i debitori del suo signore, disse al primo: ⁶ Quanto devi al mio signore? Ed egli disse: Cento bati d’olio. Ed egli gli disse: Prendi la tua scritta, e siedi, e scrivine prestamente cinquanta. ⁷ Poi disse ad un altro: E tu, quanto devi? Ed egli disse: Cento cori di grano. Ed egli gli disse: Prendi la tua scritta, e scrivine ottanta. ⁸ E il signore lodò l’ingiusto fattore, perciocchè avea fatto avvedutamente; poichè i figliuoli di questo secolo sono più avveduti, nella lor generazione, che i figliuoli della luce.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Gesù diceva ancora ai suoi discepoli: V’era un uomo ricco che avea un fattore, il quale fu accusato dinanzi a lui di dissipare i suoi beni. ² Ed egli lo chiamò e gli disse: Che cos’è questo che odo di te? Rendi conto della tua amministrazione, perché tu non puoi più esser mio fattore. ³ E il fattore disse fra sé: Che farò io, dacché il padrone mi toglie l’amministrazione? A zappare non son buono; a mendicare mi vergogno. ⁴ So bene quel che farò, affinché, quando dovrò lasciare l’amministrazione, ci sia chi mi riceva in casa sua. ⁵ Chiamati quindi a se ad uno ad uno i debitori del suo padrone, disse al primo: ⁶ Quanto devi al mio padrone? Quello rispose: Cento bati d’olio. Egli disse: Prendi la tua scritta, siedi, e scrivi presto: Cinquanta. ⁷ Poi disse ad un altro: E tu, quanto devi? Quello rispose: Cento cori di grano. Egli disse: Prendi la tua scritta, e scrivi: Ottanta. ⁸ E il padrone lodò il fattore infedele perché aveva operato con avvedutezza; poiché i figliuoli di questo secolo, nelle relazioni con que’ della loro generazione, sono più accorti dei figliuoli della luce.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Jėzus kalbėjo ir savo mokiniams: “Buvo vienas turtingas žmogus ir turėjo ūkvedį. Tas buvo jam apskųstas, esą eikvojąs jo turtą. ² Tuomet, pasišaukęs jį, šeimininkas pasakė: ‘Ką aš girdžiu apie tave šnekant? Duok savo ūkvedžiavimo apyskaitą, nes daugiau nebegalėsi būti ūkvedžiu’. ³ O ūkvedys tarė sau: ‘Ką veiksiu, kad šeimininkas atima iš manęs ūkvedžiavimą? Kasti neįstengiu, o elgetautigėda. ⁴ Žinau, ką daryti, kad žmonės mane priimtų į savo namus, kai būsiu atleistas iš tarnybos’. ⁵ Jis pasikvietė po vieną savo šeimininko skolininkus ir klausė pirmąjį: ‘Kiek esi skolingas mano šeimininkui?’ ⁶ Šis atsakė: ‘Šimtą statinių aliejaus’. Tada jis tarė: ‘Imk savo skolos raštą, sėsk ir tuoj pat rašyk: penkiasdešimt’. ⁷ Paskui klausė kitą: ‘O kiek tu skolingas?’ Anas atsakė: ‘Šimtą saikų kviečių’. Jis tarė: ‘Imk skolos raštą ir rašyk: aštuoniasdešimt’. ⁸ Šeimininkas pagyrė neteisųjį ūkvedį, kad jis gudriai pasielgė. Šio pasaulio vaikai sumanesni tarp savųjų negu šviesos vaikai”.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Mówił też i do uczniów swoich: Człowiek niektóry był bogaty, który miał szafarza, a ten był odniesiony do niego, jakoby rozpraszał dobra jego. ² A zawoławszy go, rzekł mu: Cóż słyszę o tobie? Oddaj liczbę z szafarstwa twego; albowiem już więcej nie będziesz mógł szafować. ³ I rzekł on szafarz sam w sobie: Cóż uczynię, gdyż pan mój odbiera ode mnie szafarstwo? Kopać nie mogę, żebrać się wstydzę. ⁴ Wiem, co uczynię, że gdy będę złożony z szafarstwa, przyjmą mię do domów swoich. ⁵ Zawoławszy tedy do siebie każdego z dłużników pana swego rzekł pierwszemu: Wieleś winien panu memu? ⁶ A on rzekł: Sto bareł oliwy. I rzekł mu: Weźmij zapis twój, a siadłszy prędko, napisz pięćdziesiąt. ⁷ Potem drugiemu rzekł: A tyś wiele winien? A on mu rzekł: Sto korcy pszenicy. I rzekł mu: Weźmij zapis twój, a napisz ośmdziesiąt. ⁸ I pochwalił pan szafarza niesprawiedliwego, iż roztropnie uczynił; bo synowie tego świata roztropniejsi są nad syny światłości w rodzaju swoim.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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. ² 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. ³ 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. ⁴ Agora sei o que vou fazer, para que, quando for desapossado da mordomia, me recebam em suas casas. ⁵ E chamando a si cada um dos devedores do seu senhor, perguntou ao primeiro: Quanto deves ao meu senhor? ⁶ Respondeu ele: Cem medidas de azeite. Disse-lhe então: Toma a tua conta, senta-te depressa e escreve cinquenta. ⁷ Perguntou depois a outro: E tu, quanto deves? Respondeu ele: Cem coros de trigo. E disse-lhe: Toma a tua conta e escreve oitenta. ⁸ 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.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Men han sa også til sine disipler: Der var en rik mann som hadde en husholder, og han blev angitt for ham som en som ødte hans eiendom. ² Og han kalte ham for sig og sa til ham: Hvad er dette jeg hører om dig? Gjør regnskap for din husholdning! for du kan ikke lenger forestå mitt hus. ³ Da sa husholderen ved sig selv: Hvad skal jeg gjøre, nu da min herre tar husholdningen fra mig? Jeg er ikke i stand til å grave, jeg skammer mig ved å tigge. ⁴ Nu vet jeg hvad jeg vil gjøre, forat de skal ta imot mig i sine hus når jeg blir avsatt fra husholdningen. ⁵ Og han kalte til sig hver især av sin herres skyldnere, og sa til den første: Hvor meget er du min herre skyldig? ⁶ Han sa: Hundre anker olje. Da sa han til ham: Her har du ditt gjeldsbrev; sett dig ned, skynd dig og skriv femti! ⁷ Derefter sa han til en annen: Og du, hvor meget er du skyldig? Han sa: Hundre tønner hvete. Han sier til ham: Her har du ditt gjeldsbrev; skriv åtti! ⁸ Og Herren roste den urettferdige husholder for at han hadde båret sig klokt ad; for denne verdens barn er klokere mot sin egen slekt enn lysets barn.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Isus a mai spus ucenicilor Săi:,,Un om bogat avea un ispravnic, care a fost pîrît la el că -i risipeşte averea. ² El l -a chemat, şi i -a zis:,Ce aud eu vorbindu-se despre tine? Dă-ţi socoteala de isprăvnicia ta, pentrucă nu mai poţi fi ispravnic.` ³ Ispravnicul şi -a zis:,Ce am să fac, dacă îmi ia stăpînul isprăvnicia? Să sap, nu pot; să cerşesc, mi -e ruşine. ⁴ Ştiu ce am să fac, pentruca, atunci cînd voi fi scos din isprăvnicie, ei să mă primească în casele lor.` ⁵ A chemat pe fiecare din datornicii stăpînului său, şi a zis celui dintîi:,Cît eşti dator stăpînului meu?` ⁶ ,O sută de măsuri de untdelemn`, a răspuns el. Şi i -a zis:,Ia-ţi zapisul, şi şezi degrabă de scrie cincizeci.` ⁷ Apoi a zis altuia:,Dar tu, cît eşti dator?`,O sută de măsuri de grîu`, a răspuns el. Şi i -a zis:,Ia-ţi zapisul, şi scrie optzeci.` ⁸ Stăpînul lui a lăudat pe ispravnicul nedrept, pentrucă lucrase înţelepţeşte. Căci fiii veacului acestuia, faţă de semenii lor, sînt mai înţelepţi decît fiii luminii.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Оповів же Він й учням Своїм: Один чоловік був багатий, і мав управителя, що оскаржений був перед ним, ніби він переводить маєток його. ² І він покликав його, і до нього сказав: Що це чую про тебе? Дай звіт про своє управительство, бо більше не зможеш рядити. ³ І управитель почав міркувати собі: Що я маю робити, коли пан управительство відійме від мене? Копати не можу, просити соромлюсь. ⁴ Знаю, що я зроблю, щоб мене прийняли до домів своїх, коли буду я скинений із управительства. ⁵ І закликав він нарізно кожного з боржників свого пана, та й питається першого: Скільки винен ти панові моєму? ⁶ А той відказав: Сто кадок оливи. І сказав він йому: Візьми ось розписку свою, швидко сідай та й пиши: п'ятдесят. ⁷ А потім питається другого: А ти скільки винен? І той відказав: Сто кірців пшениці. І сказав він йому: Візьми ось розписку свою й напиши: вісімдесят. ⁸ І пан похвалив управителя цього невірного, що він мудро вчинив. Бо сини цього світу в своїм поколінні мудріші, аніж сини світла.

UkrainianNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Промовив же і до учеників своїх: Один чоловік був багатий, що мав приставника; і обвинувачено сього йому, що розсипає маєток його. ² І, покликавши його, каже йому: Що се чую про тебе? Дай мені перелік з твого приставництва, бо неможна вже тобі бути приставником. ³ Каже ж у собі приставник: Що мені робити, що пан мій бере при-ставництво від мене? Копати не вмію, просити соромлюсь. ⁴ Знаю, що зроблю, щоб, як відставлений буду від приставнищтва, прийняли мене в господи свої. ⁵ І покликавши кожного з довжників пава свого, каже первому: Скільки ти винен панові моєму? ⁶ Він же каже: Сто мір оливи. І каже йому: Візьми твою розписку, та сївши хутко, пиши пятьдесять. ⁷ Потім другому каже: Ти ж скільки винен? Він же каже: Сто мір пшениці. І каже йому: Візьми твою розписку, та напиши вісїмдесять. ⁸ І похвалив пан приставника неправедного, що мудро вчинив; сини бо віку сього мудріші над синів сьвітла в роді своїм.
