To his disciples he said. "There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was accused to him of wasting his property.

"He called to him to him and said. "‘What is this that I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship; for you can no longer be steward.’
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.
"Now the steward said to himself. ‘What shall I do, now that my master is taking away my stewardship? I am not strong enough to dig, to beg I am ashamed.
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 know what I will do, so that when I am put out of my stewardship, they may 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.
"So he called to him each of his master’s debtors and said to the first, ‘How much money 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.
"‘A hundred measures of oil,’ he answered. "He said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty."

"To a second he said, ‘How much do you owe?’ "The man answered, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ "‘Here is you bill,’ he said, ‘change it to eighty measures.’

"And the master praised the unjust steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this world are in relation to their own generation wiser than the sons of the 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)
"And to you I say, Use mammon, dishonest as it is, to make yourselves friends, so that when it shall fail they will welcome you to the eternal tabernacles. (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.
"The man who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is unjust in a very little, is unjust also as 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 faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will trust to you the true riches?

"And if you are not faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?

"No one can be a household servants to two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot be the slave of God and of Mammon."

He said to them. "You are those that justify themselves in the eyes of men; but God knows you hearts; for that which is lofty in the eyes of men is abomination in the eyes of God.

"Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away then for one title of the law to fail.

"But in the course of time the beggar died; and he was carried by angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died, and was buried.

"And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham have mercy on me; and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’

"‘Remember my son.’ said Abraham, ‘that you had in your lifetime all your good things, and in the same way Lazarus his evil things; but now here he is comforted, and you are in anguish.
