Luka 16
1 Che Yesu ŵaasalile ŵakulijiganya ŵao kuti, “Jwapali jwachipanje juŵakwete jwakwimilila ipanje yakwe. Jwachipanje ŵasalilwe kuti jwakwimililajo akonanga ipanje yenu.
And He said also to his disciples, There was a certain rich man, who had a steward; and he was accused to him of wasting his goods.
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 he called him, and said unto him, What is this I hear of thee? give up the accounts of thy stewardship, for thou canst be no longer steward.
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 steward said in himself, What shall I do? now my master takes away the stewardship from me; I am not able to work, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Elo, nachimanyi chakutenda, kuti patachiminga masengo ga kwimilila ipanje ŵandu akombole kumbochela mmajumba gao.’
I know what I will do, that when I am turned out of my place, 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?’
So he called his master's debtors to him, and said to the first, How much owest thou to my master? and he said, an hundred baths of oil.
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, Take thy bill, and sit down and write but fifty.
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.’
Then he said to another, And how much owest thou? and he said, an hundred measures of wheat: and he said to him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
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 his master commended the dishonest steward as having acted prudently: for the men of this world are as to their affairs wiser than the children of light. (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)
And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends with these unrighteous treasures, that when they fail, ye may be received into everlasting habitations. (aiōnios g166)
10 Jwakukulupilichika mu yamwana nnope jwelejo akukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo. Ni jwangakukulupilichika mu yamwana ngaakukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo.
He, that is faithful in the lest, is faithful also in much: and he, that is unjust in the lest, is unjust also in much.
11 Nipele iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu ipanje ya pachilambo ŵaani ŵachachimpa ipanje yaili isyene?
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the false riches, who will intrust you with the true?
12 Iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu indu ya mundu jwine ana ŵaani ŵachampe yaili yenu mwachinsyene?
and if ye have not been faithful in that which was another's, who will give you that which is your own?
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 servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or at lest he will be attached to the one, and neglect the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.
14 Mafalisayo ŵakunonyelwa mbiya paŵagapilikene gelego ŵanyelwisye Che Yesu.
And the pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things; and 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.
And He said unto them, Ye justify yourselves before men, but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
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 continued until John: from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one presseth into it.
17 Nambo kwinani ni chilambo ikukomboleka kumala, kupunda kalembo kamo ka Malajisyo ga che Musa kutyosyekwa.
Though it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 “Mundu jwalijose jwakulekangana ni ŵankwawo ni kulombela jwine akutenda chikululu ni jwakunnombela juŵalekangene ni ŵankwawo, akutenda chikululu.”
Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery; and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
19 “Jwapali mundu jwachipanje juŵawalaga iwalo ya ndalama jekulungwa ni kupoka moŵa gose.
Now there was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen, living voluptuously and splendidly every day.
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 poor man named Lazarus,
21 Che Lasalo ŵalajile apegwe mbakatika sisyagwaga pakulila pa jwachipanje jo ni kupunda yeleyo mbwa syaikaga kukulapita maŵanga gakwego.
who was laid at his gate full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table: and the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass that the poor man died,
22 “Lyuŵa limo jwakulaga jo ŵawile ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵanjigele ni kummika chiŵandi ni che Iblahimu. Nombe jwachipanje jula ŵawile ni kusikwa.
and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom: the 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 in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham from afar, and Lazarus 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 out and said, Father Abraham, have pity on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for 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.
And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou receivedst thy good things in thy life-time, and likewise Lazarus his evils: but now he is comforted, 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 besides, there is a great gulf fixed between us and you; so that they, who would pass from hence to you, cannot; nor can they pass to us, who would come from thence.
27 Pele jwachipanje jula ŵatite, ‘Ngunchondelela, atati che Iblahimu kuti munnajisye che Lasalo jo ajaule kwa achalongo ŵangu,
Then he said, Therefore I intreat thee, Father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house:
28 ligongo ngwete achapwanga nsano, ajaule akaajamuche kuti nombewo anaiche peuto pamasausyo pano.
for I have five brethren; that he may testify to them my misery, least they also come into this place of torment.
29 “Nambo che Iblahimu ŵansalile, ‘Achapwenu akwete malembelo ga che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mwaleche ŵapilikanile ŵelewo.’
Abraham answered him, They have Moses 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.’
and he said, Nay, father Abraham, but if one went to them from the dead, they will 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.’”
And he replied, If they hearken not to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one should rise from the dead.
