Luk 16
1 Jisuh ni a hnukkâbangnaw koe bout a dei pouh e teh, hnopai ka tawnta poung e bawi buet touh ao. Hote bawi ni hnopai ka kuem hane tami buet touh a tawn. Hote hnopai ka kuem e ni hnopai a kaseikasak telah bawi koe ka dei pouh e tami ao dawkvah,
He said, likewise, to his disciples, A certain rich man had a steward, who was accused to him of wasting his estate.
2 bawi ni ahni hah a kaw teh nange kong ka thai e heh bangtelah na maw. Ka hnopainaw na hno e cayin ka kuep lah na poe haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh ka hno ka khen e tami lah na awm thai hoeh toe telah atipouh.
Having, therefore, called him, he said, What is this that I hear of you? Render an account of your management, for you shall be steward no longer.
3 Hatnavah Bawipa ni kai teh thaw dawk hoi na tâco sak toe, bangmaw ka tawk han. Laikawk tawk hane hai ka tawk thai hoeh, ayâ koe kutdaw hane hai kayayeirai ati.
And the steward said within himself, What shall I do? My master takes from me the stewardship; I can not dig, and am ashamed to beg.
4 Atuvah bangmaw ka sak han tie ka panue toe, hottelah ka sak pawiteh ka thaw a baw torei im dawkvah o sak han ka ngai e tami ka hui ka tawn han telah a pouk.
I am resolved what to do, that when I am discarded, there may be some who will receive me into their houses.
5 Bawipa koe laiba ka tawn e taminaw pueng a kaw teh apasuek e tami koe ka Bawipa koe patho hane laiba na yit touh maw na ba titeh a pacei.
Having, therefore, sent severally for all his master's debtors, he asked one, How much do you owe my master?
6 Hote tami ni satui nuenae 1,000 touh poe han ao telah a dei. Hnopai ka khen e tami ni vah hete na cayin lat nateh nuenae 500 touh thut telah atipouh.
He answered, A hundred baths of oil. Take back your bill, said the steward, sit down directly, and write fifty.
7 Hathnukkhu alouke tami a kaw teh nang te laiba na yit touh maw na ba telah a pacei. Catun phei 1,000 touh poe han ao telah ati. Cayin lat nateh phei 800 touh thut telah atipouh.
Then he asked another, How much do you owe? He answered, A hundred homers of wheat. Take back your bill, said he, and write eighty.
8 Hote hnopai ka khen ni teh tami ka dumyen e ni hot patetlah huenghai hoi hno a sak dawkvah a bawipa ni a oup. Bangkongtetpawiteh hete talaivan capanaw ni a thaw tawk e dawkvah angnae capanaw hlak vah a lunganghnawn telah ati. (aiōn g165)
The master commended the prudence of the unjust steward; for the children of this world are more prudent in conducting their affairs, than the children of light. (aiōn g165)
9 Bout ka dei e teh, na due torei a yungyoe kangning e lukkareiim dawk hui na tawn thai awh nahanelah, kangning hoeh e talai hno hno awh. (aiōnios g166)
Therefore, I say to you, with the deceitful riches procure to yourself friends, who, after your discharge, may receive you into the eternal mansion. (aiōnios g166)
10 Hno kathoengca dawk yuemkamcu e tami teh hno kalen dawk hai yuemkamcu, hno kathoengca dawk yuemkamcuhoeh e tami teh hno kalen dawk hai yuemkamcuhoeh.
Whoso is faithful in little is faithful also in much: and whoso is unjust in little, is unjust also in much.
11 Hottelah ao dawkvah ka kangning hoeh e talai hno hno navah, yuemkamcu lah na awm hoehpawiteh bangtelamaw bawitangrengnae katang poe lah ao han vaw.
If, therefore, you have not been honest in the deceitful, who will intrust you with the true riches?
12 Hatdawkvah tami alouke hno dawkvah yuemkamcu hoeh lah na awm pawiteh apinimaw namamouh han lah hno na poe han maw.
And if you have been unfaithful managers for another, who will give you anything to manage for yourselves?
13 San buet touh ni vah bawi kahni touh e san lah awm thai hoeh, buet touh pahnawt vaiteh buet touh a lungpataw han. Buet touh koe yuemkamcu lah ao vaiteh buet touh e teh banglahai noutna mahoeh. Cathut hoi tangka e thaw mekkem thai mahoeh telah atipouh.
A servant can not serve two masters: for either he will hate one, and love the other; or, at least, will attend one, and neglect the other. You can not serve God and mammon.
14 Farasinaw ni a dei e naw pueng a thai navah, ahnimouh teh tangka ka ngai e tami lah ao dawkvah Bawipa a panuikhai awh.
When the Pharisees, who loved money, heard all these things, they ridiculed him.
15 Jisuh ni hai Farasinaw, nangmouh teh tami hmalah tamikalan lah na kâsak awh. Hatei Cathut ni nangmae lungthin a panue. Bangkongtetpawiteh, tami ni aphu kaawm poung lah a pouk eiteh Cathut hmalah panuetthopounge doeh.
But he said to them, As for you, you make yourselves pass upon men for righteous, but God knows your hearts; for that which is admired of men is abhorred of God.
16 Mosi e kâlawk hoi profetnaw ni a thut e naw teh Baptisma ka poe e Jawhan e atueng totouh hane doeh. Hathnukkhu Cathut uknaeram kamthang teh taminaw pueng koe dei lah ao vaiteh taminaw ni ram dawk a kâen awh han.
You had the law and the prophets till the coming of John, since whose time, the kingdom of God is announced, and every occupant enters it by force.
17 Hatei kâlawk dawk e lawklung kathoengpounge buet touh a rawk hlak vah kalvan hoi talai a rawk e a yawi hnawn.
But sooner shall heaven and earth perish, than one tittle of the law shall fail.
18 Nang ni na yu hoi na kampek teh alouke napui hoi na o, hote tami teh a uicuk toe. Hahoi a vâ ka mat e napui hoi kaawm e tami hai a uicuk van telah atipouh.
Whoever divorces his wife, and takes another, commits adultery; and whoever marries the divorced woman, commits adultery.
19 Vai touh teh ka tangreng poung e tami buet touh ao teh khohna phu kaawm poung hoi a kamthoup teh hnintangkuem kanawm poung lah kho a sak.
There was a certain rich man, that wore purple and fine linen, and feasted splendidly every day.
20 Ka roedeng buet touh, âhlut hoi kakawi e, a min Lazarus tie teh, buramei ca hane pouknae lungthin hoi,
There was also a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, that was laid at his gate,
21 tangreng bawi im longkha teng sut a tahung. Uinaw ni a tho teh a hmânaw a palem pouh.
and who was desirous to feed on the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 Hnin touh hnin vah ka roedeng e tami a due teh kalvantaminaw ni kalvan Abraham e a lungtabue dawkvah a thak awh. Tangreng bawi hai a due teh a pakawp awh.
It happened that the poor man died, and was conveyed by angels to Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Tangreng bawi teh hell dawk a bo teh puenghoi ka patawpoung lah khang laihoi ao. A moung teh a khet navah, Abraham hoi a lungtabue dawk kaawm e Lazarus hah ahlanae koehoi a hmu. (Hadēs g86)
And in hades, being in torments, he looked up, and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom, (Hadēs g86)
24 Hattoteh, apa Abraham, na pahren haw. Kai teh hete hmaipalai dawk patawnae puenghoi ka khang dawkvah, Lazarus hah a kutdawn tui dawk ranup sak nateh ka lai pâding sak hanlah patoun haw telah hramki laihoi a dei.
and cried, saying, Have pity on me, father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tortured in this flame.
25 Hatei Abraham ni, ka capa, na hring na thungvah hnopai phunkuep poe lah na o. Lazarus teh roedeng lah ao e hah pahnim hanh. Hatei atuvah ahni teh kanawm poung lah ao, nang teh rei thai hoi na o.
Abraham answered, Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received good things, and Lazarus received evil things; but now he is in joy, and you are in torments.
26 Hothloilah maimouh rahak vah kadung poung e ravo pui ni na rakhan. Hatdawkvah hi lahoi nangmouh koe lah raka han ka ngai e tami ni raka thai hoeh. Hot patetlah nangmouh koe lahoi kaimouh koe lah raka han ka ngai e ni raka thai hoeh telah atipouh.
Besides, there lies a huge gulf between us and you, so that they who would pass hence to you, can not: neither can they pass to us, who would come thence.
27 Tangreng bawi ni pawiteh, Oe! apa, Lazarus hah kai na pa im vah na patoun pouh haw
The other replied, I entreat you, then, father, to send him to my father's house;
28 Hawvah ka hmaunawngha panga touh ao rah. Ahnimouh ni hete puenghoi patawnae hmuen koe a pha awh hoeh nahanelah lawkpanuesaknae poe sak hanelah ka ngai telah atipouh.
for I have five brothers, that he may admonish them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham ni, na hmaunawnghanaw ni Mosi hoi profetnaw ni dei e hah tarawi awh naseh, telah atipouh.
Abraham answered, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Tangreng bawi ni, a pa, Abraham, hottelah nahoeh, duenae koehoi buetbuet touh ni, ahnimanaw koe cet pawiteh a hringnae pan a kângai han doeh telah ati.
Nay, said he, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they would reform.
31 Hatei Abraham ni, ahnimanaw ni Mosi hoi profetnaw e lawk ngâi awh hoehpawiteh, tami buetbuet touh ni duenae koehoi ka thaw nakunghai yuem mahoeh, telah atipouh.
Abraham replied, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should arise from the dead.
