Luka 16
1 A hnukbang rhoek te khaw, “Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om tih hnokhoem a khueh. Te long te a khuehtawn a haeh pah dongah amah a khotoh nah.
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 Te dongah anih te a khue tih, ‘Nang kawng ka yaak he me tlam lae? Na hnokhoemnah dongkah olka te thuung laeh, na khoom ham na coeng voel moenih,’ a ti nah.
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 Te vaengah hnokhoem amah te, ‘Balae ka saii lah eh? Ka boeipa loh hnokhoemnah he kai lamloh a lat coeng, diklai daeng ham khaw ka noeng pawh, bih ham khaw ka yak,
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 Ka saii ham te ka ming coeng. Te daengah ni hnokhoemnah lamkah ka puen uh vaengah a im khuila kai n'doe uh eh,’ a ti.
I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, they may receive me into their houses.
5 Te dongah, a boeipa kah purhong rhoek te rhip a khue tih, lamhma taengah, ‘Ka boeipa taengah meyet na ba?’ a ti nah.
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 Te long te, ‘Situi um yakhat,’ a ti nah. Te vaengah anih te, ‘Na cabu na doe vaengah ngol pahoi lamtah sawmnga mah daek,’ a ti nah.
And he said to him, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but fifty.
7 Pakhat te khaw, ‘Nang tah meyet na ba,’ a ti nah. Te long te, ‘Cang phueih yakhat,’ a ti nah. Anih te, ‘Cabu na doe vaengah sawmrhet la daek,’ a ti nah.
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 A thai a lai neh a saii dongah boethae kah hnokhoem te boeipa loh a koeh. Ta kumhal kah ca rhoek he amah cadil khuiah tah vangnah kah a ca rhoek lakah cueih uh. (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 Te dongah kai loh nangmih taengah ka thui, Boethae laikhuehtawn te khaw na paya la khueh uh. Te daengah ni dungyan dap khuila na khum vaengah n'doe uh eh. (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 A yit dongah uepom la aka om tah a len dongah khaw uepom la om tih, a yit dongah aka halang tah a len dongah khaw halang.
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 Halang, laikhuehtawn neh uepom la na om uh pawt bal atah unim nangmih rhep aka tangnah te?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the false riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 Te dongah na hlanglang tih uepom la na om pawt atah na koe te u long nangmih m'paek eh.
and if ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Imkhut pakhat loh boei panit kah sal a bi thai moenih, pakhat te a toeng vetih pakhat te a lungnah ni, pakhat te a talong vetih pakhat te a hnoel ni. Pathen neh laikhuehtawn kah sal na bi rhenten thai moenih,” a ti nah.
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 Te te naivoei la aka om Pharisee rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh vaengah amah te a nueih thil uh.
And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and derided Him.
15 Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih loh hlang hmaiah aka tang la na om uh. Tedae Pathen loh nangmih thinko te a ming. Hlang soah aka sang te Pathen hmaiah tueilaehnah la om.
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 Olkhueng neh tonghma rhoek loh Johan hil, te lamkah loh Pathen kah ram tah ana phong coeng tih a khuila la boeih ana ael uh.
The law and the prophets continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
17 Olkhueng te a dek pakhat a rhul lakah vaan neh diklai a khum te a phoeng la om pueng.
Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 A yuu te a tueih tih a tloe aka lo boeih tah samphaih coeng. Te phoeiah va aka ma aka yunah te khaw samphaih.
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 “Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om. Te dongah daidi, hnithen neh khuk uh tih hnin takuem thayoei tuipan la a uum.
Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
20 Te vaengah khodaeng pakhat, a ming ah Lazarus tah buhlut neh a vongka ah a yalh pah.
And there was a poor man named Lazarus,
21 Te dongah kuirhang caboei lamkah aka bo nen te bunghah khaw a nai. Tedae ui rhoek long pataeng ha pawk uh vaengah a buhlut te a laeh pa uh.
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 Tedae khodaeng te a duek vaengah puencawn rhoek loh Abraham rhang dongla a khuen. Te phoeiah kuirhang te khaw duek tih a up uh.
and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Tedae saelkhui ah a mik a hoh tih nganboh neh kho a sak vaengah tah Abraham neh a rhang dongkah Lazarus te a hla lamkah a hmuh. (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 Te dongah a pang neh, ‘A pa Abraham, kai he n'rhen lamtah Lazarus te han tueih mai. A kutdawn kah a hmoicue te tui dongah naek saeh lamtah ka lai he sul sak saeh, hmaitak khuiah mat n'yuek coeng he,’ a ti nah.”
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 “Tedae Abraham loh, ‘Camoe, na hingnah dongkah na hnothen na dang te poek. Te vaengah Lazarus tah yoethae bangla om. Tedae anih a mong vaengah he nang tah patang loh n'yuek coeng.
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 He rhoek boeih khuiah khaw kaimih neh nangmih laklo kah longhoi tah muep n'lak coeng. Te dongah nangmih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng aka ngaih long khaw coeng pawh, kaimih taengla hlaikan dingdoeng ham khaw coeng pawh,’ a ti nah.”
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 “Te phoeiah, ‘A pa namah ni kan hloep. Te dongah anih te a pa im la tueih mai.
Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
28 Manuca panga ka khueh dongah amih te uen mai saeh. Te daengah ni amih khaw hekah nganboh hmuen la ha pawk uh pawt eh,’ a ti nah.”
for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Tedae Abraham loh, ‘Moses neh tonghma te a khueh uh ta, amih taengah hnatun uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
Abraham answered him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them:
30 Tedae te long te, ‘Moenih, a pa Abraham, aka duek tangtae pakhat loh amih te paan koinih yut uh ni,’ a ti nah.”
and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 “Tedae anih te, ‘Moses neh tonghma rhoek kah olthui te a hnatun uh pawt atah, duek khui lamkah khat khat thoo cakhaw ngaitang mahpawh,’ a ti nah,” a ti.
And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
