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 spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief; and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.
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 his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.
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.
And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg 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 know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Ayo bi wa itie koh ma ni huba ihlah, a miyen u mumlan, 'Ahi bren itie koh mu ni hu?'
And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
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 to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres.
7 Wa hla miyen ri, ibren ba hu? Wa tre, buhu alkama dari wa hla niwu, kpa nvunvu yi, ni nha tan mani
And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen.
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 praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. (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)
Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. (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.
Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.
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, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide?
12 Toh wu na ni tie njanji ni nji kpi u bari na, anha ni no wu inkleh u me?
And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?
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 man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.
14 Farisawa bi wa ba son inklen kpukpome'a ba wo tre naki wawu na nzah.
But the Pharishee, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided 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.
But Jeshu said to them, You are they who justify yourselves before the sons of men; but Aloha knoweth your hearts. For, what is exalted among men, before Aloha is abominable.
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 law and the prophets were until Juchanon; from thenceforth the kingdom of Aloha is preached, and every one presseth to enter.
17 A hi fie me ni shulu mba ni meme ndu ba su e tu ni wa, iten riri u Attaura ndi joku migen.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than one letter from the law to pass away.
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.
Every one who looseth his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and every one who taketh the dismissed, committeth adultery.
19 Indji iwo ri a shur kpimabi tie le nani zren zren ma ko ni nton ri meh.
NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos and purple, and every day feasted gaily.
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,
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds,
21 Wa ni son rhi birhi wa a kuble ni tu tebru, u yawu ba ye nle kpa-n.
and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds.
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.
Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that 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, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. (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.
And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, 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.
Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, 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.
And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.
27 U indji i wo tre, mi bre wu, Itie mu Ibrahim, u ka ton hi ni koh itie mu, u ngrji'a -
He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house:
28 Mi he ni mri vayi mri-lon iton, ndu hi hron ba ni ndu ba na ye ni bubu yi na.
for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.
29 Ibrahim hla niwu, ba he ni Musa ni anabawa, ndu ba wo ba.
Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear 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.
But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent.
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.
Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.
