SARAH
1 耶稣又对门徒说：“有一个财主的管家，有人向他主人告他浪费主人的财物。
1 Jesus also said to His disciples, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and someone reported to him that the manager was wasting his possessions.
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。’
2 The master called him in and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you can no longer be my manager.’
3 那管家心里说：‘主人辞我，不用我再作管家，我将来做什么？锄地呢，无力；讨饭呢，怕羞。
3 The manager said to himself, ‘My master is dismissing me as manager. What will I do? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
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。’
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from my management, people will welcome me into their homes.’
5 于是把欠他主人债的，一个一个地叫了来，问头一个说：‘你欠我主人多少？’
5 So he called in each one who owed his master a debt. He asked the first one, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 他说：‘一百篓油。’管家说：‘拿你的账，快坐下，写五十。’
6 He replied, ‘A hundred measures of olive oil.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill, sit down quickly, and write fifty.’
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。’
7 Then he asked another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He answered, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ The manager said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
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。
8 The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the children of light.
9 我又告诉你们，要借着那不义的钱财结交朋友，到了钱财无用的时候，他们可以接你们到永存的帐幕里去。
9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to make friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into eternal dwellings.
10 人在最小的事上忠心，在大事上也忠心；在最小的事上不义，在大事上也不义。
10 Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much; and whoever is dishonest in very little is also dishonest in much.
11 倘若你们在不义的钱财上不忠心，谁还把那真实的钱财托付你们呢？
11 So if you have not been faithful with worldly wealth, who will entrust you with the true riches?
12 倘若你们在别人的东西上不忠心，谁还把你们自己的东西给你们呢？
12 And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to someone else, who will give you what is your own?
13 一个仆人不能事奉两个主；不是恶这个爱那个，就是重这个轻那个。你们不能又事奉神，又事奉玛门。”
13 No servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
