Luke 16:23-30 in English

²³ And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am in anguish in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.

²⁷ And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;

²⁸ for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

²⁸ For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish.

²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they which would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from thence to us.

²⁷ And he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house;

²⁹ But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent.

²³ In the place where dead people wait for God to judge them, he was suffering great pain. He looked up and saw Abraham far away, and he saw Lazarus sitting close to Abraham.

²⁴ So he shouted, ‘Father Abraham, I am suffering very much in this fire! So please pity me, and send Lazarus here so that he can dip his finger in water and touch my tongue to cool it!’

²⁵ But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that while you (sg) were alive on earth you enjoyed many good things. But Lazarus was miserable. Now it is fair that he is happy here, and you are suffering.

²⁶ Besides that, there is a huge ravine between you (sg) and us. So those who want to go from here to where you (sg) are, are not able to. Furthermore, no one can cross from there to where we (exc) are.’

²⁷ Then the rich man said, ‘If that is so, father Abraham, I ask you (sg) to send Lazarus to my father's house.

²⁸ I have five brothers who live there. Tell him to warn them to turn away from their sinful behavior so that they do not also come to this place, where we(exc) suffer great pain!’

²⁹ But Abraham replied, ‘ No, I will not do that, because your brothers are able to go to the Jewish meeting places where the priests read what Moses and the prophets wrote. They should listen to what Moses and the prophets MTY wrote!’

³⁰ But the rich man replied, ‘No, father Abraham, that will not be enough But if someone from those who have died goes back to them and warns them, they will turn from their sinful behavior.’

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁴ He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—

²⁸ for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁴ He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—

²⁸ for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁴ He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—

²⁸ for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

²³ And in hell, being in great pain, lifting up his eyes he saw Abraham, far away, and Lazarus on his breast.

²⁴ 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.

²⁵ 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.

²⁶ 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.

²⁷ And he said, Father, it is my request that you will send him to my father's house;

²⁸ 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.

²⁹ But Abraham said, They have Moses and the prophets; let them give ear to what they say.

³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.

²³ And in hades lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he sees Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he crying out said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Child, recollect that thou hast fully received thy good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil things. But now he is comforted here, and thou art in suffering.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that those who desire to pass hence to you cannot, nor do they who desire to cross from there pass over unto us.

²⁷ And he said, I beseech thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to the house of my father,

²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may earnestly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

²⁹ But Abraham says to him, They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them.

³⁰ But he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.

²³ And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom:

²⁴ And 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.

²⁵ And 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.

²⁶ And 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.

²⁷ And he said: Then, father, I beseech thee, that thou wouldst send him to my father’s house, for I have five brethren,

²⁸ That he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torments.

²⁹ And Abraham said to him: They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ But he said: No, father Abraham: but if one went to them from the dead, they will do penance.

²³ And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I am suffering in this flame.’

²⁵ But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things, but now here he is comforted and you are suffering.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great gulf has been fixed, so that those who desire to cross over from here to you are not able, nor may those from there cross over to us.’

²⁷ “Then he said, ‘Therefore I beseech you, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’

²⁹ Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’

³⁰ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent.’

²³ And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment,

²⁴ he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’

²⁵ But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’

²⁷ Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,

²⁸ because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’

²⁹ Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’

³⁰ So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’

²³ In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham in the far distance, with Lazarus beside him.

²⁴ ‘Father Abraham,’ he called out, ‘Have mercy on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I'm burning in agony.’

²⁵ But Abraham replied, ‘My son, remember that you enjoyed the good things of life, while Lazarus had a very poor life. Now he is here being comforted, while you suffer in torment.

²⁶ Apart from that, there's a great gulf that stretches between us and you. Nobody who wants to cross from here to you can do so, and nobody can cross from there over to us.’

²⁷ The rich man said, ‘Then Father, I beg you, please send him to my father's house.

²⁸ For I have five brothers and he can warn them so that they don't end up here in this place of torment.’

²⁹ But Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. They should listen to them.’

³⁰ ‘No, father Abraham,’ said the man. ‘But they would repent if someone went to them from the dead!’

²³ And being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome.

²⁴ Then he cried, and saide, Father Abraham, haue mercie on mee, and sende Lazarus that hee may dippe the tip of his finger in water, and coole my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham saide, Sonne, remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy pleasures, and likewise Lazarus paines: now therefore is he comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ Besides all this, betweene you and vs there is a great gulfe set, so that they which would goe from hence to you, can not: neither can they come from thence to vs.

²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therfore, father, that thou wouldest sende him to my fathers house,

²⁸ (For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them.

³⁰ And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.

²³ and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house:

²⁸ for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

²³ And in the underworld he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he called and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou didst receive thy good things in thy lifetime, and Lazarus in like manner his evil things; but now he is comforted here, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is placed a great gulf, so that those who wish to cross from hence to you may not be able, and that those on that side cannot cross over to us.

²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee then, father, to send him to my father's house;

²⁸ for I have five brothers; that he may give earnest warning to them, that they too may not come into this place of torment.

²⁹ But Abraham saith, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ But he said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one should go to them from the dead, they would repent.

²³ In Hades he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side.

²⁴ So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’

²⁵ ‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.

²⁶ And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’

²⁷ ‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house —

²⁸ For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’

²⁹ ‘They have the writings of Moses and the prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’

³⁰ ‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if someone from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’

²³ In Hades he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side.

²⁴ So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’

²⁵ ‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.

²⁶ And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’

²⁷ ‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house —

²⁸ For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’

²⁹ ‘They have the writings of Moses and the prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’

³⁰ ‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if someone from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’

²³ In Hades / Sh'ol ·Place of the dead·, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham Father of a multitude far off, and Lazarus Help of God at Abraham's bosom, (the righteous side of Sheol).

²⁴ He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham Father of a multitude, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus Help of God, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

²⁵ “But Abraham Father of a multitude said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus Help of God, in the same way, bad things. But now here he is comforted and you are in anguish.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, Abba father, that you would send him to 'Avi ·my Father·’s house;

²⁸ for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹ “But Abraham Father of a multitude said to him, ‘They have Moses Drawn out and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, Abba father Abraham Father of a multitude, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will make teshuvah ·complete repentance·.’

²³ But he went to the bad place called hell. He was in a big fire in that place, and it hurt him a lot. Then he looked up and he saw Abraham, a long way off, and he saw Lazarus there with Abraham.

²⁴ So he yelled out loud, he said, ‘Hey, Grandpa Abraham, this fire is hurting me a lot. Be sorry for me and send Lazarus to bring some water to me, and dip his finger in it and put it on my tongue, to cool it a little bit.’

²⁵ But Abraham said, ‘Just a minute, son. Remember that when you were alive on the earth, you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here, and we are making him feel good, but you are there in that fire.

²⁶ And anyway, he can’t go to you. There is a really big gully in between this place and that place where you are. Nobody can cross over from here to that place, and nobody can come from that place to here.

²⁷ Then the rich man said, ‘Then how about this, Grandpa Abraham. Send Lazarus back to the earth, to my family.

²⁸ I’ve got 5 brothers there. Get Lazarus to tell them about this bad place, so they will stop living the bad way. If they turn around and live God’s way they will not end up in this bad place.’

²⁹ But Abraham said, ‘God told his message to Moses, and to his other men too. They wrote God’s word in his book. Your brothers can read that book at any time, and if they do what God says, they will not end up in that bad place.’

³⁰ The rich man said, ‘My brothers don’t take any notice of God’s book. But if a dead person will come alive again and talk to them, they will take notice of him. Then they will stop doing bad things, turn around and do good things.’

²³ And beinge in hell in tormentes he lyfte vp his eyes and sawe Abraham a farre of and Lazarus in his bosome

²⁴ and he cryed and sayd: father Abraham have mercy on me and sende Lazarus that he maye dippe the tippe of his fynger in water and cole my tonge: for I am tourmented in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham sayd vnto him Sonne remembre that thou in thy lyfe tyme receavedst thy pleasure and contrary wyse Lazarus payne. Now therfore is he comforted and thou art punysshed.

²⁶ Beyonde all this bitwene you and vs ther is a greate space set so that they which wolde goo from thence to you cannot: nether maye come from thence to vs.

²⁷ Then he sayd: I praye the therfore father send him to my fathers housse.

²⁸ For I have fyve brethren: for to warne the left they also come into this place of tourment.

²⁹ Abraham sayd vnto him: they have Moses and the Prophetes let them heare them.

³⁰ And he sayd: naye father Abraham but yf one came vnto the from the ded they wolde repent.

²³ and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus at his side.

²⁴ So he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'

²⁵ But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things. But now he is comforted here, and you are in agony.

²⁶ Besides all this, a great chasm has been put in place, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot, and no one can cross over from there to us.'

²⁷ The rich man said, 'I beg you, Father Abraham, that you would send him to my father's house—

²⁸ for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that it may not be that they come into this place of torment.'

²⁹ But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the prophets; let them listen to them.'

³⁰ The rich man replied, 'No, Father Abraham, but if someone would go to them from the dead, they will repent.'

²³ In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁴ He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’

²⁵ “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.

²⁶ Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’

²⁷ “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—

²⁸ for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

²⁹ “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

³⁰ “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’

²³ And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy life-time receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:

²⁸ For I have five brethren; that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torment.

²⁹ Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.

³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham: but if one shall go to them from the dead, they will repent.

²³ In Sheol, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

²⁶ And in all these things a great dark place or great dark depth is stablished betwixt us and you; that they that will from hence pass to you, may not, neither from thence pass over hither.

²⁷ And he said, Then I pray thee, father, that thou send him into the house of my father.

²⁸ For I have five brethren, that he witness to them, lest also they come into this place of torments.

²⁹ And Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; hear they them.

³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if any of dead men go to them, they shall do penance.

²³ And he raised up his eyes, when he was in torments, and saw Abraham afar, and Lazarus in his bosom.

²⁴ And he cried, and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he dip the end of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

²⁵ And Abraham said to him, Son, have mind (or remember), for thou hast received good things in thy life, and Lazarus also evil things; but he is now comforted, and thou art tormented.

²⁶ And in all these things a great dark place or a great dark depth is stablished betwixt us and you; that they that will from hence pass to you, may not, (or so that they who want to pass over from here to you, cannot), neither from thence (to) pass over hither.

²⁷ And he said, Then I pray thee, father, that thou send him into the house of my father.

²⁸ For I have five brethren, that he witness to them, (or For I have five brothers, so that he can testify to them), lest also they come into this place of torments.

²⁹ And Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; hear they them.

³⁰ And he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if any of dead men go to them or but if any of (the) dead shall go to them, they shall do penance (or then they shall repent).

²³ And the riche man was deed also, and was biried in helle. And he reiside hise iyen, whanne he was in turmentis, and say Abraham afer, and Lazarus in his bosum.

²⁴ And he criede, and seide, Fadir Abraham, haue merci on me, and sende Lazarus, that he dippe the ende of his fyngur in watir, to kele my tunge; for Y am turmentid in this flawme.

²⁵ And Abraham seide to hym, Sone, haue mynde, for thou hast resseyued good thingis in thi lijf, and Lazarus also yuel thingis; but he is now coumfortid, and thou art turmentid.

²⁶ And in alle these thingis a greet derk place is stablischid betwixe vs and you; that thei that wolen fro hennus passe to you, moun not, nethir fro thennus passe ouer hidur.

²⁷ And he seide, Thanne Y preie thee, fadir, that thou sende hym in to the hous of my fadir.

²⁸ For Y haue fyue britheren, that he witnesse to hem, lest also thei come in to this place of turmentis.

²⁹ And Abraham seide to him, Thei han Moyses and the prophetis; here thei hem.

³⁰ And he seide, Nay, fadir Abraham, but if ony of deed men go to hem, thei schulen do penaunce.

²³ and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom,

²⁴ and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed in this flame.

²⁵ 'And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;

²⁶ and besides all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.

²⁷ 'And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,

²⁸ for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.

²⁹ 'Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them;

³⁰ and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.
