Luka 16
1 Yeecu yi nobbwankecebo tak, “nii cuwekako kangeni ki ni toman'nye, Lacin kwa kiyan nye ki nii toman nyewo kang cineut cuwekacokob.
And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 La nii cuweka wuco yico, “fulan yer minuwa dor mwere? bowki kiyeka tomange mweke, wori mari mwa yila nii tomange mititak.
And he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
3 Lamitomange toki neren, ma mangi, nilomi anyam tomanyewo kangmik? Wo, mimanki bikwantonet lami cwa kwenduwe meka cekoti.
And the steward said in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Minnyumwom dike ma matiyeu noci cukumye mor tomanye nindi, nubo ayoye lonici.
I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Dila nitomannye cwuningangum nubo teluwece bwanteng centiyeu, yi nii kaba, Nyi nii lomi bwangmwenten tiye?
So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
6 yiki, 'nuwannye kwini kwob' Isryico, Bifumer mwerowo, canakowo yikenyiye, mulangum kwini nung.
And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but fifty.
7 Yilan yikannye, ciki bwangmwentuniyi? Yiki, cwayi bikate kwini kwob, 'bifumerwo mulangum kwini narub'.
Then he said to another, And how much owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
8 Dila niwo caklang nii bwini bilengewo ki yulancero. Bibeyo kaleweu nyimem maka nyinong nubo ko kaleweu la bibei filange yulang. (aiōn g165)
And his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Miyi komti komma bifarak kannge cuweraka kannge buni bilinke, cawo cin dimri, naci yokom lonici wuro manki diks. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Wo madikerti dongdong dor dikero biduwareri, cin nii dongdonge dor dikero dur, wo kebo nii bilinke don dikero bidurure, kebo ni bilinke dor dikero dur.
He, that is faithful in the lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, is unjust also in much.
11 Tano kommabo dike dongdonge di cuwekako kebo wucakeri, we aciya kumenti kicuweka wabilinkece?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the false riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 No komma dike dongdonge ki kemer niidir we anekom kemer kumer tiye?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Kange mami wo a wob nii luweti yobe, catin kowini, ci cui win kakka ci ciya winening, ci cuwe kangum wineu. mani ka wab kwaamatiri kom wab cuwekati.
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
14 Kambo faricawabo wuro cui cuwekatiyeu nuwa dikero biombori, cin macinen cuwelangka.
And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided Him.
15 Inyici, “Kom ko tiki dor kumero kabum nubem, dila kwaama nyumuom nerkumero. Dikero nubo nedurketiye nyeu diker yeika fiye kwaama wiye.
And He said unto them, Ye justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
16 Biwerer bifumer nob tomangebo inwi yakenciko Yahaya nin. Kwama wuro cin bwanten ker liyar kwaaranarotiye, kwarub kutannyi kwamacuo ci bwangten ker liyar kwaamarotiye, kwanrub ci ma bwi dokka dorekti morece.
The law and the prophets continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
17 Gwamm kangero, atin yilam bwaibo diko kange bitineu nabecum, na diker win nabi weretro na dim.
Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Niwo nyankan wucenin naukangeri inma buroka, ken niwo nau nawiyewo cinyam kanngeri inma buroka.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 Nii cuwakakko kanngenwi, wo dukulen kemero yoryoreu nuwa luma kalecokoti.
Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
20 Cin yoken nii kini kannge nyiloco, dencero Liazaru, wo bwiceu ka deti.
And there was a poor man named Lazarus,
21 Ceu ci cuiti naci bwam fwercero ki fiti cari yarangum ti fiye caka carik nii cuweka nyo kibi cuwetincer bom biyablam bwiceti.
who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
22 Laniwo bwiyamri, nobtomangeb kwaamabo tu co yakenciko Ibrayim nin. Ni cuweks buyam, cin fwerumco,
and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 ci mor Adece ci nuwa dotange ti, la cin kun doro cinto Ibrayim kutan, kan'nge Liazaru cantangcek. (Hadēs g86)
And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham from afar, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Lacin cobicoro ciki, Tee Ibrayim, ci bwinni mito, twomun Liazaru adokti biwurece mwem abelti menti biyenmin, wori indotange minuwati mor kirewe.
And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have pity 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 Dila Ibrayim yico, Bwe, kwabi ki kwamawo mu kalemweu munuwa luma cuweka mwekobi, munyo kulentinimbo ken, La Liazaru nuwati ka dotange. Dila naweu luma cinecotide, mwe munuwa dotangeti.
And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 Nobo nyori dila buwako cuwa cuwau inwi, wori birombi coi yabkati kumeneu nadolde, tak kannge na yabuurefo nyinnen.
And besides, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
27 Lamicuweks yiki, Lami kennenti Tee Ibrayim, twornco lo Tee ni-
Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
28 wori minweki keb mib bi beibayilobe nyo nung, amincinen biweret kayilo cibuo fiye dotangewo.
for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 Dila Ibrayim yiki, cin wiki Musa kannge kannge nob toman'ngebi nyori ciya nuwaci,
Abraham answered him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them:
30 Dilla nii cuweka ciyaki, 'O, on, Tee Ibrayim, cano kan'nge mor birombo biyam biya yacinendi, ciyam yiloten.
and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Dilla Ibrayim yico, cono ci Musa kan'ge nobtoman'gebo ri, cabunano kan'nge fulou duwendi maciya nuwacoti”
And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
