15 Y díjoles: Mirad, y guardaos de toda avaricia; porque la vida del hombre no consiste en la abundancia de los bienes que posee.

16 Y refirióles una parábola, diciendo: La heredad de un hombre rico había llevado mucho;

17 Y él pensaba dentro de sí, diciendo: ¿qué haré, porque no tengo donde juntar mis frutos?

18 Y dijo: Esto haré: derribaré mis alfolíes, y los edificaré mayores, y allí juntaré todos mis frutos y mis bienes;

19 Y diré á mi alma: Alma, muchos bienes tienes almacenados para muchos años; repósate, come, bebe, huélgate.

20 Y díjole Dios: Necio, esta noche vuelven á pedir tu alma; y lo que has prevenido, ¿de quién será?

21 Así es el que hace para sí tesoro, y no es rico en Dios.

15 And he said to them, Take care to keep yourselves free from the desire for property; for a man's life is not made up of the number of things which he has.

16 And he said to them, in a story, The land of a certain man of great wealth was very fertile:

17 And he said to himself, What is to be done? for I have no place in which to put all my fruit.

18 And he said, This I will do: I will take down my store-houses and make greater ones, and there I will put all my grain and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have a great amount of goods in store, enough for a number of years; be at rest, take food and wine and be happy.

20 But God said to him, You foolish one, tonight I will take your soul from you, and who then will be the owner of all the things which you have got together?

21 So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.
