BCC ⁴² Le Seigneur répondit : "quel est donc l'intendant fidèle, prudent, que le maître établira sur sa domesticité pour donner, au temps (voulu), la ration de froment ?

KJV ⁴² And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

BCC ⁴³ Heureux ce serviteur, que son maître, à son arrivée, trouvera agissant ainsi !

KJV ⁴³ Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

BCC ⁴⁴ Vraiment, je vous le dis, il l'établira sur tous ses biens.

KJV ⁴⁴ Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.

BCC ⁴⁵ mais si ce serviteur se dit en lui-même : "mon maître tarde à venir, " et qu'il se mette à battre les serviteurs et les servantes, à manger, à boire et à s'enivrer,

KJV ⁴⁵ But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;

BCC ⁴⁶ le maître de ce serviteur viendra au jour où il ne s'y attend pas et à l'heure qu'il ne sait pas, et il le fendra en deux, et lui assignera pour lot celui des infidèles.

KJV ⁴⁶ The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.

BCC ⁴⁷ Ce serviteur qui, ayant connu la volonté de son maître, n'a rien préparé ni agi selon sa volonté, recevra un grand nombre de coups.

KJV ⁴⁷ And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

BCC ⁴⁸ Quant à celui qui, ne l'ayant pas connue, aura agi de façon à mériter des coups, il n'en recevra qu'un petit nombre. On exigera beaucoup de toux ceux à qui l'on a beaucoup donné ; et de celui à qui on a confié beaucoup, on demandera davantage.

KJV ⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
