17 Niin hän mietti mielessään ja sanoi: 'Mitä minä teen, kun ei minulla ole, mihin viljani kokoaisin?'

18 Ja hän sanoi: 'Tämän minä teen: minä revin maahan aittani ja rakennan suuremmat ja kokoan niihin kaiken eloni ja hyvyyteni;

19 ja sanon sielulleni: sielu, sinulla on paljon hyvää tallessa moneksi vuodeksi; nauti lepoa, syö, juo ja iloitse'.

20 Mutta Jumala sanoi hänelle: 'Sinä mieletön, tänä yönä sinun sielusi vaaditaan sinulta pois; kenelle sitten joutuu se, minkä sinä olet hankkinut?'

15 And he said unto them, Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because not in the abundance of ones goods is his life.

16 And he spake a simile unto them, saying, Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;

17 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where I shall gather together my fruits?

18 and he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,

19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

20 And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst prepare -- to whom shall they be?

21 so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.
