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 also spoke to His disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was slandered to him as 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 having called him, he said to him, What is this which I hear concerning thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou art not able to be steward any longer.
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 within himself, What shall I do, because my lord takes away my stewardship from me? I am not able to dig; 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 shall do, in order that when I am deposed from the stewardship, 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.
And calling each one of the debtors of his lord, he said to the first, How much do you owe my lord?
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; A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your accounts, and sitting down quickly write 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 one, And how much do you owe? And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He says to him, Take your account, 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 the lord praised the steward of unrighteousness because he acted shrewdly: because the sons of this age are wiser in their generation than the sons of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Te dongah kai loh nangmih taengah ka thui, “Boethae laikhuehtawn te khaw na paya la khuehuh. Te daengah ni dungyan dap khuila na khum vaengah n'doe uh eh. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make unto yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, in order that, when it may fail, they may receive you into eternal tabernacles. (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 least is also faithful in much: and he that is unrighteous in the least is unrighteous in much.
11 Halang, laikhuehtawn neh uepom la na om uh pawt bal atah unim nangmih rhep aka tangnah te?
If therefore you were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will intrust to you the true?
12 Te dongah na hlanglang tih uepom la na om pawt atah na koe te u long nangmih m'paek eh.
If you were not faithful in the interest of another, who will give you 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 rhenthen thai moenih,” a ti nah.
No servant is able to serve two masters: for he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and despise the other. You are not able to serve God and mammon.
14 Te te naivoei la aka om Pharisee rhoek loh boeih a yaak uh vaengah amah te a nueih thiluh.
And the Pharisees, being avaricious, were hearing all these things, and murmuring against Him.
15 Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih loh hlang hmaiah aka tang la na omuh. Tedae Pathen loh nangmih thinko te a ming. Hlang soah aka sang te Pathen hmaiah tueilaehnah la om.
And He said to them, Ye are those who justify yourselves before the people; but God knows your hearts: because that which is exalted among the people 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 were until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presses into it.
17 Olkhueng te a dek pakhat a rhul lakah vaan neh diklai a khum te a phoeng la om pueng.
And it is easier that heaven and earth pass away, than one tittle fall from the law.
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.
Every one sending away his wife, and marrying another, commits adultery; and the one marrying her who has been sent away by her husband commits adultery.
19 Hlang pakhat tah kuirhang la om. Te dongah daidi, hnithen neh khuk uh tih hnin takuem thayoei tuipan la a uum.
There was a certain rich man, and he was habitually clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day.
20 Te vaengah khodaeng pakhat, a ming ah Lazarus tah buhlut neh a vongka ah a yalh pah.
But a certain beggar, Lazarus by name, was laid at his gate, full of sores,
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.
and desiring to be fed by the crumbs falling from the table of the rich man; but the dogs also coming continued to lick his sores.
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 it came to pass that the beggar died, and himself was carried by the angels into the bosom of Abraham: and 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 Hades lifted up his eyes, being in torment, sees Abraham afar off, 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 calling said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, because 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.
But Abraham said, Child, remember that you received your good things in your life, and Lazarus likewise evil things: but now he is comforted, and you are 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 in addition to all these things, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you, in order that those wishing to go hence to you may not be able, neither can they come thence to us.
27 Te phoeiah, 'A pa namah ni kan hloep. Te dongah anih te a pa im la tueih mai.
And he said, Moreover I intreat you, father, that you may send him to the house of my father:
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 brothers; in order that he may testify to them, that they may not also come to this place of the torment.
29 Tedae Abraham loh, 'Moses neh tonghma te a khueh uh ta, amih taengah hnatun uh saeh,’ a ti nah.
But Abraham says, 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.
But he said, No, father Abraham: but if one may go 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.
But he said to him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded if one may rise from the dead.
