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 unto his disciples, 'A certain man was rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as scattering 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 having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest not any longer be 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, because my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am not able, to beg I am ashamed: —
4 Elo, nachimanyi chakutenda, kuti patachiminga masengo ga kwimilila ipanje ŵandu akombole kumbochela mmajumba gao.’
I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses.
5 “Nipele, ŵaaŵilasile ŵaali ni magambo wose ŵa ambujegwe jumo jumo, ŵambusisye jwaandanda, ‘Mwakongwele ilingwa kwa ambuje ŵangu?’
'And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he said to the first, How much dost thou owe 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, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him, Take thy bill, and having sat down write 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.’
'Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to him, Take thy bill, and write eighty.
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 the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than the sons of the light, in respect to 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)
and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may receive you to the age-during tabernacles. (aiōnios g166)
10 Jwakukulupilichika mu yamwana nnope jwelejo akukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo. Ni jwangakukulupilichika mu yamwana ngaakukulupilichika atamuno mu yeikulungwa nombeyo.
'He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also unrighteous in much;
11 Nipele iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu ipanje ya pachilambo ŵaani ŵachachimpa ipanje yaili isyene?
if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful — the true who will entrust to you?
12 Iŵaga ŵanyamwe ngankukulupilichika mu indu ya mundu jwine ana ŵaani ŵachampe yaili yenu mwachinsyene?
and if in the other's ye became not faithful — your own, who shall 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 domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able to serve God and mammon.'
14 Mafalisayo ŵakunonyelwa mbiya paŵagapilikene gelego ŵanyelwisye Che Yesu.
And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and were deriding 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 to them, 'Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, [is] abomination before 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 [are] till John; since then the reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press into it;
17 Nambo kwinani ni chilambo ikukomboleka kumala, kupunda kalembo kamo ka Malajisyo ga che Musa kutyosyekwa.
and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away, than of the law one tittle to fall.
18 “Mundu jwalijose jwakulekangana ni ŵankwawo ni kulombela jwine akutenda chikululu ni jwakunnombela juŵalekangene ni ŵankwawo, akutenda chikululu.”
'Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery.
19 “Jwapali mundu jwachipanje juŵawalaga iwalo ya ndalama jekulungwa ni kupoka moŵa gose.
'And — a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple and fine linen, making merry sumptuously 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 certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was laid at his porch, full of sores,
21 Che Lasalo ŵalajile apegwe mbakatika sisyagwaga pakulila pa jwachipanje jo ni kupunda yeleyo mbwa syaikaga kukulapita maŵanga gakwego.
and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
22 “Lyuŵa limo jwakulaga jo ŵawile ni achikatumetume ŵa kwinani ŵanjigele ni kummika chiŵandi ni che Iblahimu. Nombe jwachipanje jula ŵawile ni kusikwa.
'And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham — and 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 the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, 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 having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am distressed 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, Child, remember that thou did receive — thou — thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art distressed;
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 all these things, between us and you a great chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass through.
27 Pele jwachipanje jula ŵatite, ‘Ngunchondelela, atati che Iblahimu kuti munnajisye che Lasalo jo ajaule kwa achalongo ŵangu,
'And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest send him to the house of my father,
28 ligongo ngwete achapwanga nsano, ajaule akaajamuche kuti nombewo anaiche peuto pamasausyo pano.
for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of torment.
29 “Nambo che Iblahimu ŵansalile, ‘Achapwenu akwete malembelo ga che Musa ni ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mwaleche ŵapilikanile ŵelewo.’
'Abraham saith to 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, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the dead may go unto them, they will reform.
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 said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be persuaded.'
