Luke 16
1 Jesu ing a hubatkhqi venawh: “Thlang boei pynoet awm nawh anih a tangka ak khoemkung ing tangka poeih pe kang hy tinawh amik kqawn ce zahy.
He said also to His disciples: "There was a rich man who had a steward, about whom a report was brought to him, that he was wasting his property.
2 Cedawngawh a boei ing khy nawh doet hy, ‘Na kawng kang zaak ve ikawmyihna a awmnaak? Tangka na khoem ce nim huh lah, ka tangka ak koemkung na am awm hly voel hyk ti,’ tina hy.
He called him and said, "'What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, for I cannot let you hold it any longer.'
3 Cedawngawh tangka ak khoemkung ing ‘ikawmyihna nu ka ti lah kaw? Ka boeipa ing ka bibi awm ni qoek hly sak hawh hy. Dek deng aham awm kak tha am awm koek, thlang a venawh kut dun aham awm chak koek bai nyng.
"Then the steward said within himself, "'What am I to do? For my master is taking away the stewardship from me. I am not strong enough for field labour: to beg, I should be ashamed.
4 Ka sai hly taw sim hawh nyng, cawh ni bibi ani phawh awhtaw thlangkhqi ing kai ve ami im awh ami ni do hly hy,’ tihy.
I see what to do, in order that when I am discharged from the stewardship they may give me a home in their own houses.'
5 Cedawngawh a boeipa a ik-oeih ak pukhqi ce khy hy. Lamma cyk awhkaw thlang ce khy nawh, ‘Ka boeipa a koe ik-oeih izah nu nak pu peek? tina hy.
"So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, 'How much are you in debt to my master?'
6 Anih ing, ‘Olive situi boet zaqeet,’ tina hy. Law lah, ang tawnna ngawi nawhtaw zali na sai mai,’ tina hy.
"'A hundred firkins of oil,' he replied. "'Here is your account,' said the steward: 'sit down quickly and change it into fifty firkins.'
7 Cekcoengawh a pak khihnaak awhkaw thlang ce doet tlaih bai hy, ‘Nang law izah nak pu? tina hy. “Anih ing, ‘Canghum sum thongkhat,’ tina hy. Tangka ak pukung ing, ‘Nak punaak cahawn ce lo nawhtaw sum zaqeet na sai mai,’ tina hy.
"To a second he said, "'And how much do you owe?' "'A hundred quarters of wheat,' was the answer. "'Here is your account,' said he: 'change it into eighty quarters.'
8 Amak thym na bi ak bi tangka ak khoemkung ing cyihnaak ing bi a bi dawngawh a boeipa ing kyih am cah hy. Ve khawmdek thlangkhqi ing a mimah a ik-oeih ami sai awhtaw vangnaak khuiawh ak awmkhqi anglakawh awm cyi ngai uhy. (aiōn g165)
"And the master praised the dishonest steward for his shrewdness; for, in relation to their own contemporaries, the men of this age are shrewder than the sons of Light. (aiōn g165)
9 Nangmih a venawh ka nik kqawn peek khqi, pyi sainaak aham khawmdek boeinaak ce hawna lah uh, cawh ni ce mihkhqi boeih a boeih coengawh, a mingmih ing kumqui awmnaak hun awh nangmih ce ani do hly khqi hy. (aiōnios g166)
"But I charge you, so to use the wealth which is ever tempting to dishonesty as to win friends who, when it fails, shall welcome you to the tents that never perish. (aiōnios g166)
10 U awm ik-oeih a khoehca awh ypawm na ak awm taw ik-oeih khawzah awh awm ypawm na awm hy, cehlai ik-oeih a khoehca awh ypawm na amak awm taw ik-oeih khawzah awh awm upvoet na awm hy.
The man who is honest in a very small matter is honest in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in a very small matter is dishonest in a great one also.
11 Khawmdek boeinaak awh zani ama ypawm awhtaw, u ing nu boeimangnaak tang tang ce ani khoem sak kaw?
If therefore you have not proved yourselves faithful in dealing with the wealth that is tainted with fraud, who will entrust to you the true good?
12 Thlang a ik-oeih awh ypvoet na na awm coengawh taw, u ing nu nang ce ik-oeih a ni peek kaw?
And if you have not been faithful in dealing with that which is not your own, who will give you that which is your own?
13 Tyihzoeih thlang pynoet ing boei pakkhih a bi pakkhih am bawk thai hy. Pynoet ce sawh na kawmsaw pynoet ce lungna kaw, am awhtaw pynoet ce ypna kawmsaw pynoet taw hep kaw. Khawsa bi ingkaw tangka bi am bawk hly thai qen hyk ti,’ tinak khqi hy.
"No servant can be in bondage to two masters. For either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will cling fast to one and scorn the other. You cannot be bondservants both of God and of gold."
14 Tangka amik thintlawhnaak Farasikhqi ing ce ak awi ce a ming zaak awh Jesu ce qaih na uhy.
To all this the Pharisees listened, bitterly jeering at Him; for they were lovers of money.
15 Jesu ing a mingmih a venawh, “Thlang amik huh awh nangmih ing thlakdyng na sa qu uhyk ti, cehlai Khawsa ing nangmih ak kawlung ce sim hy. Thlang ing a phu ak tlo soeih na a taak ce Khawsa mik huh awhtaw tyih cu hy.
"You are they," He said to them, "who boast of their own goodness before men, but God sees your hearts; for that which holds a proud position among men is detestable in God's sight.
16 Johan a khuk dy ni anaa awi ingkaw tangkakhqi ca qee ce amik khypyi hy. Cekcoengawh kawng Khawsa ram awithang ce khypyi hawh uhy, thlang boeih ing ce ak khuiawh kun aham tha lo uhy.
The Law and the Prophets continued until John came: from that time the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been spreading, and all classes have been forcing their way into it.
17 Anaa awi awhkaw a dek zet ce ang qeng anglakawhtaw khawk khan ingkaw khawmdek ang qeng zoei bet kaw.
But it is easier for earth and sky to pass away than for one smallest detail of the Law to fall to the ground.
18 U ingawm a zu thla nawh nuk chang a lawh awhtaw samphaih hy, thlang a zuk thlak ak zunaak awm samphaih toeng toeng hy.
Every man who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery; and he who marries her when so divorced from her husband commits adultery.

"There was once a rich man who habitually arrayed himself in purple and fine linen, and enjoyed a splendid banquet every day,
20 Ak chawmkeng a keng awh Lazaru ak mingnaak kut ak dun thlang pynoet ce awm hy, a pum boeih na phoei ing bawm nawh,
while at his outer door there lay a beggar, Lazarus by name,
21 kuiqang a caboei awhkaw ak tla awkdik aidik ce ai aham ngaih hy. Uikhqi ing ak phoei ce leek pe uhy.
covered with sores and longing to make a full meal off the scraps flung on the floor from the rich man's table. Nay, the dogs, too, used to come and lick his sores.
22 Cawhkaw kut ak dun thlang ce thi nawh khan ceityihkhqi ing Abraham a venna khyn uhy. Kuiqang thlang awm thi lawt nawh pup uhy.
"But in course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. The rich man also died, and had a funeral.
23 Hell khuina khuikha a sim cilh cilh awh ak hla nakawng Abraham ingkaw a venawh Lazaru ak awm ce hu hy. (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades, being in torment, he looked and saw Abraham in the far distance, and Lazarus resting in his arms. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ak khy doe na, ‘Ka pa Abraham, qeennaak ing Lazaru ce tyi nawhtaw tui awh a kutply pui seitaw kam lai ve ci law sak lah seh, vawhkaw mai awh ve khuikha cip cip hawh nyng ve,’ tina hy.
So he cried aloud, and said, "'Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'
25 Cehlai Abraham ing, ‘Ka capa, na hqing khui pyt awh ik-oeih ak leek leek hu tiksaw, Lazaru taw ik-oeih che a huh ce poek lah, cehlai tuh awhtaw anih ing ngaihdingnaak hu nawh nang taw khuikha hyk ti.
"'Remember, my child,' said Abraham, 'that you had all your good things during your lifetime, and that Lazarus in like manner had his bad things. But, now and here, he is receiving consolation and you are in agony.

And, besides all this, a vast chasm is immovably fixed between us and you, put there in order that those who desire to cross from this side to you may not be able, nor any be able to cross over from your side to us.'
27 Cawh anih ing, ‘cawhtaw ka pa Abraham, qeennaak thoeh law nyng, Lazaru ce Ka pa im na tyi cang lah,
"'I entreat you then, father,' said he, 'to send him to my father's house.

For I have five brothers. Let him earnestly warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment.'
29 Abraham ing, ‘Mosi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ta hawh usaw ti a; cekkhqi ak awi ce ngai mai u seh,’ tina hy.
"'They have Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham; 'let them hear them.'
30 Anih ing, ‘Amni, ka pa Abraham, thlak thi ak khuiawh kawng thlang pynoet oet a mingmih a venna a ceh mantaw thawlh zut kawm uh,’ tina hy.
"'No, father Abraham,' he pleaded; 'but if some one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 Abraham ing a venawh, ‘Mosi ingkaw tawnghakhqi ak awi ce a maming ngai awhtaw, thihnaak ak khuiawh kawng thlang tho nawh kqawn pe bai seiawm am ngai hly uhy,’ tina hy,” tinak khqi hy.
"'If they are deaf to Moses and the Prophets,' replied Abraham, 'they would not be led to believe even if some one should rise from the dead.'"
