SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–13: Jesus told a parable about a dishonest manager who acted wisely

In the main part of this section, 16:1–8b, Jesus told a parable that appears only in Luke. In this parable a rich man had hired a man to manage his money and possessions for him. The manager was dishonest in his work, so the rich man said that he could not continue to be his manager. But before the manager left this work, he used his position and money to cause other people to like him. He did this so that they would help him when he no longer had an income.

The main point of this parable is that the manager knew how to use money to make things better for his own future. In this way he was a good example for Jesus’ disciples. The parable does not mean that Jesus approved of the manager’s dishonesty.

In 16:8c–16:9 Jesus commented on the parable and applied it to his disciples. In 16:10–13 he gave other teachings about the proper use of wealth.

Other possible headings for this section are:

The Parable of the Shrewd Manager (NIV)

The dishonest man who was in charge of a rich man’s wealth

16:12a

And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another,

16:12b

who will give you belongings of your own?

16:12a–b

And: The Greek pronoun that the BSB translates as And introduces a second application of the parable. It may be another way to express the same truth as in 16:10.

if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?: This is a rhetorical question. Jesus used this question to emphasize a principle to his disciples. He taught them that no one will give them anything of their own to manage if they have not been trustworthy/faithful in managing things that belong to someone else. The context implies that God is the one who will not give them things of their own to manage.

Other ways to express this emphasis are:

Translate this emphasis in a way that is natural in your language.

belongings: The BSB has supplied the word belongings in both verse parts. It refers to something that belongs to someone else. Other words that versions supply are:

property (NIV)

things (NCV)

Some scholars have suggested that Jesus was referring to everything that God has entrusted to people in this world, including life itself. Since Jesus did not say exactly what he was thinking of, you should translate in a general way that will allow various possibilities.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τὸ ὑμέτερον τίς ὑμῖν δώσει?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰ ἐν τῷ ἀλλοτρίῳ πιστοί οὐκ ἐγένεσθε τό ὑμέτερον τίς ὑμῖν δώσει)

Jesus is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: [no one will give you property of your own.]
