Luka 16
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Jwapali jwachipanje juŵakwete jwakwimilila ipanje yakwe. Jwachipanje ŵasalilwe kuti jwakwimililajo akonanga ipanje yenu.
AND he spake a parable to his disciples: There was a certain rich man who had a house-chief; and he was accused to him that his substance he wasted.
2 Nipele jwachipanje jo ŵambilasile ni kunsalila kuti, ‘Ana achi ni chichi chinguchipikana chachikungamba mmwejo? Mmalanje imwatite pakwimilila ipanje yangu yose, ligongo ngamma jwakwimilila ipanje yangu sooni’
And his lord called him, and said to him, What is this that I hear of thee? give me the account of thy house-headship; for thou canst no longer be house-chief unto me.
3 Jwakwimilila jula ŵaganisisye mu ntima mwakwe achitiji, ‘Ambuje ŵangu akuuminga masengo ga kwimilila ipanje yao, sambano chindende chichi? Ngangombola kulima ni kuŵa ŵakuŵendaŵenda ikundesya soni.
And the house-chief said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh from me the house-headship. I cannot dig, and to beg I am ashamed.
4 Elo, nachimanyi chakutenda, kuti patachiminga masengo ga kwimilila ipanje ŵandu akombole kumbochela mmajumba gao.’
I know what I will do, that when I shall be put out of the house-headship, they may receive me into their houses.
5 “Nipele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵaali ni magambo wose ŵa ambujegwe jumo jumo, ŵambusisye jwaandanda, ‘Mwakongwele ilingwa kwa ambuje ŵangu?’
And he called one by one from the debtors of his lord, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my lord?
6 Nombe ŵanjanjile ‘Mapipa mia moja ga mauta ga seituni’ Ni ŵansalile, ‘Ntole chikalata cha ligambo lyenu, ntame kwachitema ni kulemba mapipa ansini.’
And he said to him, An hundred metres of oil. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down quickly, and write fifty metres.
7 Nipele, ŵammusisye jwamagambo jwine kuti, ‘Nomweji mwakongwele ilingwa?’ Ŵatite, ‘Magunia mia tatu ga ngano.’ Ni ŵansalile, ‘Ntole chikalata cha ligambo lyenu ni kulemba kwachitema magunia mia mbili ni alobaini.’
And he said to another, And thou, how much owest thou to my lord? He saith to him, An hundred kureen of wheat. He saith to him, Take thy book, and sit down, write eighty kureen.
8 “Nambo mmbujegwe jula ŵannapile jwakwimilila ipanje yakwe jwangakukulupilichika jula ligongo ŵatesile mwakalamuka. Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵa pachilambo chi akalamwiche kwannope kwakupanganya indu yao ni achinjao kupunda ŵandu ŵaali mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.” (aiōn g165)
And praised our Lord the house-chief who was unjust, in that he had done wisely; for the sons of this world are wiser than the sons of light in this their generation. (aiōn g165)
9 Nombe Che Yesu ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “None ngunsalila kuti ntende uganja ni ŵane kwa ipanje ya pachilambo kuti, ipanje pachiilepele kunkamusya mpochelwe mu utame wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi. (aiōnios g166)
Also I say unto you, Make to you friends from this wealth of unrighteousness, that, when perfect, they may receive you into the tabernacles of eternity. (aiōnios g166)
10 Jwakukulupilichika mu yamwana nnope jwelejo akukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo. Ni jwangakukulupilichika mu yamwana ngaakukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo.
Whoever in the little is faithful, in the great also is faithful; and he who in the little is unjust, in the great also is unjust.
11 Nipele iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu ipanje ya pachilambo ŵaani ŵachachimpa ipanje yaili isyene?
If, therefore, in the wealth of unrighteousness you have not been faithful, the truth to you who will confide?
12 Iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu indu ya mundu jwine ana ŵaani ŵachampe yaili yenu mwachinsyene?
And if in that which is not yours you are not found faithful, your own who will give to you?
13 “Ngapagwa kapolo jwakukombola kwatumichila achambuje ŵaŵili, pakuŵa chanchime jumo ni kunnonyela jwine pane chanchimbichisye jumo ni kunnyelusya jwine. Ngankukombola kwatumichila Akunnungu akuno nchitumichilaga mbiya kwanakamo.”
No man can serve two lords; for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or the one he will honour, and the other despise. You cannot serve Aloha and wealth.
14 Mafalisayo ŵakunonyelwa mbiya paŵagapilikene gelego ŵanyelwisye Che Yesu.
But the Pharishee, when they heard all these things, because they loved money, derided him.
15 Pelepo Che Yesu ŵaasalile, “Mwanya nkuliŵalanjila nli ŵambone pa meeso pa ŵandu, nambo Akunnungu akujimanyilila mitima jenu. Pakuŵa chindu chachikuoneka chili chambone kwannope pa meeso pa ŵandu paujo pa Akunnungu chikuoneka chili chindu cha uchimwa.
But Jeshu said to them, You are they who justify yourselves before the sons of men; but Aloha knoweth your hearts. For, what is exalted among men, before Aloha is abominable.
16 “Malajisyo ga che Musa ni malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu galiji ganinkulalichikwa mpaka paŵaiche che Yohana Ŵakubatisya. Chitandile kele katema Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu jikulalichikwa ni jwalijose akwinjila mwelemo kwa machili.
The law and the prophets were until Juchanon; from thenceforth the kingdom of Aloha is preached, and every one presseth to enter.
17 Nambo kwinani ni chilambo ikukomboleka kumala, kupunda kalembo kamo ka Malajisyo ga che Musa kutyosyekwa.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than one letter from the law to pass away.
18 “Mundu jwalijose jwakulekangana ni ŵankwawo ni kulombela jwine akutenda chikululu ni jwakunnombela juŵalekangene ni ŵankwawo, akutenda chikululu.”
Every one who looseth his wife, and taketh another, committeth adultery; and every one who taketh the dismissed, committeth adultery.
19 “Jwapali mundu jwachipanje juŵawalaga iwalo ya ndalama jekulungwa ni kupoka moŵa gose.
NOW there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in byssos and purple, and every day feasted gaily.
20 Paliji ni jwakulaga liina lyakwe che Lasalo juŵagumbele maŵanga pachiilu chose nombe ŵandu ŵane ŵagonekaga ŵelewo pannango wa nyuumba ja jwachipanje.
And there was a certain poor man, whose name was Loózar; and he lay at the gate of him who was rich, bruised with wounds,
21 Che Lasalo ŵalajile apegwe mbakatika sisyagwaga pakulila pa jwachipanje jo ni kupunda yeleyo mbwa syaikaga kukulapita maŵanga gakwego.
and desired to fill his belly with the crumbs which fell from the table of that rich. And also the dogs came and licked his wounds.
22 “Lyuŵa limo jwakulaga jo ŵawile ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵanjigele ni kummika chiŵandi ni che Iblahimu. Nombe jwachipanje jula ŵawile ni kusikwa.
Now that poor man died, and angels conducted him to the bosom of Abraham: but that rich man also died, and was buried.
23 Jwachipanje jo ŵalasile nnope kwiuto kwa ŵandu ŵawile ni ŵalolite kwinani ni kwaona che Iblahimu ali atemi pachiŵandi ni che Lasalo. (Hadēs g86)
And, tormented in shiul, he lifted up his eyes afar, and seeth Abraham, and Loózar in his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Ŵanyanyisye achitiji, ‘Atati che Iblahimu, mungolele chanasa, mwalajisye che Lasalo kuti anyoye kumbesi kwa chala chakwe mmeesi ni asisimisye lulimi lwangu, pakuŵa ndili nkusauka nnope mu mooto wu.’
And he cried with a high voice, and said, My father Abraham, have compassion upon me, and send Loózar, that he may dip the top of his finger in waters, and moisten my tongue; for, behold, I am tormented in this flame.
25 “Nambo che Iblahimu ŵajanjile, ‘Mwanangu, nkumbuchile kuti mmwe pamwaliji ni umi pachilambo mwamasile kupochela yambone yose iyammajile nombe che Lasalo ŵalasile. Nambo sambano akuno che Lasalo ali nkutuswa ntima ni mmwe ndi mkusauka.
Abraham said to him, My son, remember that thou didst receive thy goods in thy life, and Loózar his evils, and now, behold, he reposeth here, and thou art tormented.
26 Kupunda yeleyi, pasikati jetu ni ŵanyamwe kwana lisimbo lyekulungwa pakuti ŵakusaka kutyoka akuno kwika kweleko anakombole ni anajomboche mundu jwakweleko kwika akuno.’
And with all these, there is a great void set between us and you, that they who would pass from hence unto you are not able, nor they also who would pass from thence to us.
27 Pele jwachipanje jula ŵatite, ‘Ngunchondelela, atati che Iblahimu kuti munnajisye che Lasalo jo ajaule kwa achalongo ŵangu,
He said to him, I pray thee, then, my father, to send him unto my father's house:
28 ligongo ngwete achapwanga nsano, ajaule akaajamuche kuti nombewo anaiche peuto pamasausyo pano.
for five brethren have I; let him go and testify unto them, that they also come not to this place of torment.
29 “Nambo che Iblahimu ŵansalile, ‘Achapwenu akwete malembelo ga che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mwaleche ŵapilikanile ŵelewo.’
Abraham said to him, They have Musha and the prophets, let them hear them.
30 Nambo jwachipanje jo ŵatite sooni, ‘Atati che Iblahimu ngaŵa yeleyo nambo iŵaga mundu jumo chasyuche ni kwajaulila, chaleche sambi syao.’
But he said to him, No, my father Abraham, but if one from the dead shall go unto them, they repent.
31 Nombe che Iblahimu ŵatite, ‘Iŵaga ngakugapilikanichisya ni kugakulupilila malembelo ga che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu atamuno asyuche jwalijose ni kwajaulila ngakombola kwanyenga.’”
Abraham saith to him, If Musha and the prophets they hear not, neither, if one from the dead should rise, would they believe him.
