Luke 16
1 Jesus in a nungzui te tung ah, Mihau khat om a, neisa keam tu khat nei hi; tua pa in na neisa teng bo thongsak siat hi, ci in a topa tung ah ki mawsiat hi.
THEN said he also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he received an information against him, as having dissipated his treasures.
2 Taciang a topa in sam a ama tung ah, na thu ka zak te bangbang ziam? ka van na kep teng sazian hong pia tan; banghangziam cile ka neisa keam hi nawn ngawl tu ni hi, ci hi.
And calling him, he said to him, What is this report I hear of thee? give up the account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer in that office.
3 Tasiaciang in neisa keam pa in, ka topa in ka nasep pan hong tawlngasak tu a hi ciang in, bang vawt tu khi ziam? lo le ka tho thei bua a; khutdaw ngen tu le ka maizum hi.
Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? because my master is taking away the stewardship from me: to dig, I have not the strength; to beg, I am ashamed.
4 Neisa keam dinmun pan hong tawlngaksak ciang in, amate inn ah hong san thei natu in ka vawt tu ka he hi, ci hi.
I know what I will do, that, when I am removed from the stewardship, they may entertain me at their houses.
5 Tua ahikom a topa kung ah leiba nei te theampo sam a, a masabel pa kung ah, ka topa tung bangza ba ni ziam? ci hi.
So calling upon every one of his master’s debtors, he said to the first, How much owest thou to my master?
6 Tua pa in, sathau pheal zakhat, ci hi. Taciang neisa keam pa in, na sazian la tan a, a manlang in to in, taciang pheal sawm nga ci at in, ci hi.
And he said, A hundred baths of oil. And he said, Take thy account, and sit down directly, and write fifty.
7 A dang khat kung ah, nang e, bangza ba ni ziam? ci hi. Ama in, zungtang hui ip zakhat, ci hi. Taciang neisa keam pa in, na sazian la tan a, ip sawm liat ci at in, ci hi.
Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred core of wheat. And he saith to him, Take thy account, and write fourscore.
8 Hi a thuman ngawl neisa keampa in thimtheltak in a vawt nate a topa in pok hi: banghangziam cile, leitung mihing te sia amate hun sung, khuavak tate sang in lupil zaw uh hi. (aiōn g165)
And the master praised the unjust steward, because he had acted providently: for the children of this world are more provident among their own generation of men, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Keima in kong ci hi, note hileitung pan na pusua uh ciang in tawntung omna biakbuk sung ah hong sang tu na nei thei natu uh in, leitung sum le pai taw ngualtam vawt vun. (aiōnios g166)
And I say unto you, Make yourselves friends with the unrighteous mammon that when ye fail, they may receive you into the eternal mansions. (aiōnios g166)
10 A tawmno ah a thuman peuma a tampi ah zong thuman hi: A tawmno ah a thuman ngawl peuma a tampi tung ah zong thuman ngawl hi.
He that is faithful in the least thing, is faithful also in much: and he who is unjust in the least, is unjust also in much.
11 Tua ahikom a kip ngawl neisa tung ah thuman ngawl na hi uh le, a kua in hauna tatak hong ap ngam tu ziam?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust you with the true?
12 Ngual dang neisa tung nangawn ah thuman ngawl na hi uh le, noma nei tu in a kua in hong pia ngam tu ziam?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which belongs to another, who will give up to you that which is your own?
13 Mihing khat in to ni na seam thei ngawl tu hi: banghangziam cile khat ensan tu a, a dang khat it tu hi; khat beal tu a, a dang khat ngaingon tu hi. Note in Pathian le nei le lam naseam hi khawm thei ngawl tu nu hi, ci hi.
No domestic can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or he will cleave to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
14 A duhop Pharisee te in hi thu te theampo a zak uh ciang in, Jesus selno in nui uh hi.
Then the Pharisees also, who were dear lovers of money, heard all these things, and they sneered at him.
15 Tasiaciang in Jesus in amate tung ah hibang in ci hi, Note in mihing te mai ah noma le noma ki thutangsak nu hi; ahihang Pathian in na thinsung uh hong he hi: banghangziam cile mihing te sung ah a sang mama in a ki ngaisun te, Pathian mai ah lipkhap huai mama hi.
And he said unto them, Ye are they who affect to be righteous persons before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 John hong thet dong thukham le kamsang thu te om hi: tua hun pan kipan Pathian kumpingam thu pualak uh a, mi theampo phul in tum uh hi.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 Thukham sung ah a nobel a bawk no khat sang in, van le lei a bo tu ol zaw lai hi.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail.
18 A kuamapo a zi khul a, zi dang a nei sia, palngul mawna vawt a hihi: taciang a pasal in a khul numei a tenpui sia zong palngul mawna vawt ma a hihi.
Every one who putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and every one who marrieth a woman divorced from her husband, committeth adultery.
19 Mi hau khat om a, puan sannum le puan neamno a pha mama sil in, nisim nuamsa in nungta hi:
Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, making splendid entertainments every day:
20 Taciang a pumpi tung theampo meima taw a dim, Lazarus a kici khutdaw ngen khat om a, mi hau pa kongbiang ah ngual in koi hi.
and there was a certain pauper, named Lazarus, who was laid at his gate covered with ulcers,
21 Mihaupa sabuai pan a tak anneng te ne nuam in om a, ui hongpai in a meima te liasak hi.
and importunately desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: yea even the dogs came and licked his ulcers.
22 Khutdaw ngen pa thi a, vantung mite in Abraham kang sung ah paipui hi: taciang, mihaupa zong thi a, phum hi;
Now it came to pass that the poor man died, and was carried up by angels into the bosom of Abraham. Then the rich man also died, and was buried:
23 Taciang a ngim thuak na hell sung pan a tungsang a et ciang in, a khuala mama na ah Abraham mu hi, taciang a kangsung ah Lazarus om hi. (Hadēs g86)
and in hell, lifting up his eyes, being in torments, he seeth Abraham at a vast distance, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Mihaupa au in, ka pa Abraham awng, hong hesuak kapo in, hi meikuang sung ah ngim na thuak kahikom Lazarus in a khutzung dawn tuisung ah papsuk in, ka lei hong votsak natu in sawl in, ci hi.
And crying out, he said, Father Abraham, have compassion on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented with this flame.
25 Ahihang Abraham in, ka tapa awng, na nuntaksung a pha theampo sang zo ni hi, tabangma in Lazarus sia a pha ngawl teng sang hi: ahizong tu in ama sia henepna nga zo a, nang na hile ngimna na thuak hi, ci phawk in.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou hast received thy good things during thy life, and Lazarus, in like manner, what was afflictive: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 Hiteng theampo bek domngawl, kote le nangma ki laklaw ah luamthukpi om hi: tua ahikom hi mun pan in na kung ah ki pai thei ngawl a, nangma kung pan zong ko kung ki pai thei ngawl hi, ci hi.
And besides all these considerations, between us and you there is a vast chasm fixed: so that they who might be willing to pass from hence to you, cannot; neither can they pass through to us, from thence.
27 Tasiaciang in mihaupa in, tua a hi ciang, ka pa Abraham awng, Lazarus sia ka pa inn ah paisak tu in hong ngen khi hi:
And he said, I entreat thee then, father, that thou wouldest send him to my paternal mansion:
28 Banghangziam cile, suapui nga nei lai khi hi; hi ngimna sung ah hong thet ngawl natu uh in Lazarus in amate tung ah tettipang tahen, ci hi.
for I have five brothers: that he may testify to them, that they also come not into this place of torment.
29 Abraham in, amate in Moses le kamsang te nei hi; tuate thu ngai tahen, ci hi.
Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hearken to them.
30 Taciang in mihaupa in, hi ngawl hi, ka pa Abraham awng: mithi te sung pan in khat amate kung ah pai a hile, amate ki sikkik tu uh hi, ci hi.
But he said, Ah no, father Abraham! but if one came to them from the dead, they will repent.
31 Abraham in ama kung ah, Moses le kamsang te thu a ngai nuam bua a hile, khatpo thina pan a thokik hial zong in ngai nuam tuan ngawl tu uh hi, ci hi.
Then he said to him, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead.
