Luke 16
1 Yesu hlani mri koh ma, (Almajirama) “A ndi igu ri he niwo (arziki) na he ni indji wa ani ya bi ndu ni wu'a, U ba ye hla ni wu indji iwo, andi igu ya bi ndu ma a ri woma ni hi kle.
And he sayde also vnto his disciples, There was a certaine riche man, which had a stewarde, and he was accused vnto him, that he wasted his goods.
2 Indji iwo'a a yo na miyen ahi nge mba mi wo? Ne lisafi ikpe wa u tie ni ya ndu'a u na la tie ndu, u ya indji ngana.
And hee called him, and saide vnto him, Howe is it that I heare this of thee? Giue an accounts of thy stewardship: for thou maiest be no longer steward.
3 Igu u ya indji ba (wakili) a ta mre, “Ahi nge mi ti, tun nde itie koh mu a vu me kpa ndu u ya? Mina he ni gbengble wami ya ron na, Ishan ni ti me mi na ya bre na.
Then the stewarde saide within himselfe, What shall I doe? for my master taketh away from me the stewardship. I cannot digge, and to begge I am ashamed.
4 Mi toh kpe u wa mi tie'a inde ba zu me ni ndu u ya indji (wakili), indji ba ka kpa me hi ni koh mba.
I knowe what I will doe, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receiue mee into their houses.
5 Ayo bi wa itie koh ma ni huba ihlah, a miyen u mumlan, 'Ahi bren itie koh mu ni hu?'
Then called he vnto him euery one of his masters detters, and said vnto the first, Howe much owest thou vnto my master?
6 Andi uma a Garuwa Iyen Deri. Wa hla ni wu, kpa nvunvu u nha me, gbagbla nha hamsi nihi kuson kpa me ni ka don.
And he said, An hudreth measures of oyle. And he saide to him, Take thy writing, and sitte downe quickely, and write fiftie.
7 Wa hla miyen ri, ibren ba hu? Wa tre, buhu alkama dari wa hla niwu, kpa nvunvu yi, ni nha tan mani
Then said he to another, How much owest thou? And hee sayde, An hundreth measures of wheate. Then he saide to him, Take thy writing, and write foure score.
8 U tie koh ma kber igu lah tre san nitu wa a tie whiri, imlen imri bi, zizanyi ni indji mba, ba whiri zan imri bi kpan. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord commended the vniust stewarde, because he had done wisely. Wherefore the children of this worlde are in their generation wiser then the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Mijhla ni yiwu tie kpan nitu he niwo wa ana bie na. Wa ye nna wo kle, u ba ka kpa yi hi ni koh wa bi son hi ni tuntur. (aiōnios g166)
And I say vnto you, Make you friends with the riches of iniquitie, that when ye shall want, they may receiue you into euerlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Indji wa ni tie njanji ni kpi tsitsa ma, A ni ti njanji ni rhi grama, u indji wa ana tie njanji ni kpi vi tsitsa mana, ana tie njanji ni kpi rigra ma na.
He that is faithfull in the least, hee is also faithful in much: and he that is vniust in the least, is vniust also in much.
11 Inde u na tie bi ni wo wa ana u njanji na, u nhan ni kpa nyewme ni wu ni wo u njanji?
If then ye haue not ben faithful in the wicked riches, who wil trust you in the true treasure?
12 Toh wu na ni tie njanji ni nji kpi u bari na, anha ni no wu inkleh u me?
And if ye haue not bene faithfull in another mans goods, who shall giue you that which is yours?
13 Ba indji wa ani ya biu tie ko hari, ni mi nton riri, se ka kpa ri na kari don, koh ka kpari tsri na kpari nyime. U na ya hu Irji mba inklen na.
No seruaunt can serue two masters: for either he shall hate the one, and loue the other: or els he shall leane to the one, and despise the other. Yee can not serue God and riches.
14 Farisawa bi wa ba son inklen kpukpome'a ba wo tre naki wawu na nzah.
All these thinges heard the Pharises also which were couetous, and they scoffed at him.
15 Wa hla bawu, 'Biyi bi ban tu mbi ni shishi ndi ni kperi, ama Irji toh mi suron mbi. Ikpi wa ndi ba kpanyime niwu wawu, ahi kpi u shan ni Irji.
Then he sayde vnto them, Yee are they, which iustifie your selues before men: but God knoweth your heartes: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is abomination in the sight of God.
16 Attaura ni Litafi Anabawa ba he si ye ni ye Yohana rji ni nton ki ye zizan yi, ba tsikpa bubu bla tre Irji, indji wa wu ba ri ti tu ni gbengblen ni yo tu mba niwu.
The Lawe and the Prophets endured vntill Iohn: and since that time the kingdome of God is preached, and euery man preasseth into it.
17 A hi fie me ni shulu mba ni meme ndu ba su e tu ni wa, iten riri u Attaura ndi joku migen.
Nowe it is more easie that heauen and earth shoulde passe away, then that one title of the Lawe should fall.
18 Indji wa a ga gran ma ni Iwa-ma na kpa iwa ri a zina a si tie, ni nidji wa a kpa iwa wailon ma zu a hi zina a si ti.
Whosoeuer putteth away his wife, and marieth another, committeth adulterie: and whosoeuer marieth her that is put away from her husband, committeth adulterie.
19 Indji iwo ri a shur kpimabi tie le nani zren zren ma ko ni nton ri meh.
There was a certaine riche man, which was clothed in purple and fine linnen, and fared well and delicately euery day.
20 U indji u bre ri ba yo ni Lazaru ba nji ye ka yo ni nkotra koh ma, ni kpukpa inkpa-n ni kpa,
Also there was a certaine begger named Lazarus, which was laide at his gate full of sores,
21 Wa ni son rhi birhi wa a kuble ni tu tebru, u yawu ba ye nle kpa-n.
And desired to bee refreshed with the crommes that fell from the riche mans table: yea, and the dogges came and licked his sores.
22 Wa ye tsra ni nton wa indji u bre a ye kyu, u Maleku ba ye ban hi ni nhma ko wa Ibrahim he. U ndji u wo'a (arziki) a kyu u ba ban ka rju.
And it was so that the begger died, and was caried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome. The rich man also died, and was buried.
23 wa ka ri ni koh lu, wa zun shishi hi ni shu, na toh Ibrahim gbugban mu ba sun mba Lazarus ni ngbala ko wa Ibrahim he. (Hadēs g86)
And being in hell in torments, he lift vp his eyes, and sawe Abraham a farre off, and Lazarus in his bosome. (Hadēs g86)
24 Wa yra yi yo, Itie mu Ibrahim, toh me ni lo suron ni ton Lazarus, ndu ka vren wo ma son ni mma, na chu kpi yo ni mu ni lbe ndu jubu gbugbran mu.
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 Ibrahim tre vuvren, Rimre ni sun me ni gbungblu, u rhi ro wo me ni kpa kpi bi bie ma, u Lazarus si tiya, u zizan mba ba ndu si toh roma ni wa, Iwu mba u si tiya.
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 U naki me ba shi juju ni tsitsu bi vron me, ni ndu bi wa ba sun zagran ye niyi ba ka na yana, kuma biwa ba he ni yi ko mba ba ka na zagran ye nita na.
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 U indji i wo tre, mi bre wu, Itie mu Ibrahim, u ka ton hi ni koh itie mu, u ngrji'a -
Then he said, I pray thee therfore, father, that thou wouldest sende him to my fathers house,
28 Mi he ni mri vayi mri-lon iton, ndu hi hron ba ni ndu ba na ye ni bubu yi na.
(For I haue fiue brethren) that he may testifie vnto them, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 Ibrahim hla niwu, ba he ni Musa ni anabawa, ndu ba wo ba.
Abraham said vnto him, They haue Moses and the Prophets: let them heare them.
30 U indji i wo, a sa niwu andi, A'a Itie mu Ibrahim, indrjo ri ni ta rji ni mi bi kyu ka hla ni bawa, ba k'ma suron mba no Irji.
And he sayde, Nay, father Abraham: but if one came vnto them from the dead, they will amend their liues.
31 U Ibrahim hla niwu, inde bana wo Musa ni anabawa bana, ko indji wa a kyu lunde na ka hla ni ba wu bana wo wu na.
Then he saide vnto him, If they heare not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rise from the dead againe.
