Luka 16
1 Yesu nowachone jopuonjrene niya, “Ne nitie jamoko moro, ma ngʼat mane rito mwandune ne odonjne ni ketho gige.
He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
2 Omiyo noluonge ire kendo nopenje ni, ‘En angʼo mawinjo kuomini? Chiw ane kwan kuom gigo duto mirito, nikech ok inyal bedo jarit giga kendo ngangʼ!’
He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
3 “Jarit noparo kende owuon ni, ‘Abiro timo angʼo koro? Ruodha koro maya tija. Ok an ratego moromo ma dapur, to wiya kuot mondo akwechi.
“The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
4 Angʼeyo gima abiro timo, ma ka aweyo tich ka, to ji biro rwaka utegi!’
I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
5 “Omiyo noluongo jogope ruodhe achiel achiel. Nopenjo mokwongo ni, ‘In-gi gowi mar ruodha marom nadi?’
Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
6 “Nodwoke ni, ‘Debe mia aboro mag mo.’ “Jarit tich nowachone ni, ‘Bed piny piyo piyo, ikaw kitapi indikie ni, mia angʼwen.’
He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 “Eka nopenjo ngʼat mar ariyo ni, ‘In to, gopi oromo adi?’ “Nodwoke ni, ‘Gunia alufu achiel mag ngano.’ “Nowachone ni, ‘Kaw kitapini, indike ni mia aboro.’
Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
8 “Ruoth nopako jarit gige ma ok kareno nikech notiyo gi rieke. Nimar jopinyni ongʼeyo tiyo mariek gi jowadgi moloyo jogo mawuotho e ler. (aiōn g165)
“His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
9 Awachonu ni tiuru gi mwandu mag piny mondo umakgo osiepe ne un uwegi, mondo ka chiengʼ ma mwandugo orumo, norwaku e kar dak mochwere. (aiōnios g166)
I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Ngʼat minyalo geno gi gima tin, inyalo gene bende gi gik mangʼeny, to ngʼat ma ok ja-adiera gi gima tin bende ok nyal bedo ja-adiera gi gik mangʼeny.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
11 Emomiyo ka ok usebedo jo-adiera e tiyo gi mwandu mar pinyni, en ngʼat mane mabiro genou gi mwandu madier?
If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
12 To ka ok usebedo jo-adiera gi mwandu ngʼat machielo, en ngʼat mane madimiu mwandu ma maru uwegi?
If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
13 “Onge jatich manyalo tiyo ne ruodhi ariyo. Nimar obiro chayo achiel to ohero machielo, kata obiro chiwore ne achiel to ochayo machielo. Ok inyal tiyo ne Nyasaye kendo ne pesa.”
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
14 Jo-Farisai mane ohero pesa nowinjo magi duto kendo neginyiero kagijaro Yesu.
The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
15 Nowachonegi niya, “Un ema utimoru joma kare e wangʼ ji, to Nyasaye ongʼeyo chunyu. Gima okaw ni ber ahinya gi ji, kuom Nyasaye en gima kwero.
He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
16 “Chik kod Jonabi ne nigi teko nyaka chop ndalo mar Johana. Chakre kanyo, Injili mar pinyruoth Nyasaye osebedo kilando, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato riyore mondo odonjie.
“The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
17 To yot mondo polo gi piny orum, moloyo ka nukta achiel matinie moloyo olal kuom Chik.
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
18 “Ngʼato mowere gi chiege mokendo dhako machielo, odonjo e richo mar terruok, to ngʼat mokendo dhako ma chwore oweyo, bende odonjo e richo mar terruok.
“Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
19 “Ne nitie jamoko moro mane rwako lewni mokikore kod lewni mayom ma nengogi tek, kendo nodak e ngima mamalo mar mor ndalo duto.
“Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 E dhorangaye noketie jakwecho miluongoni Lazaro, ma adhonde nopongʼo dende
A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
21 kendo nogombo chamo ngʼinjo molwar e bwo mesa jamokono. Kata mana guogi bende ne biro minangʼ adhondene.
and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “Sa nochopo ma jakwechono notho kendo malaika notingʼe, otere e bath Ibrahim. Jamoko bende notho kendo noyike.
The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Kane en e Piny Joma otho kisande malit, nongʼiyo malo to noneno Ibrahim gi kuma bor kod Lazaro e bathe. (Hadēs g86)
In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
24 Omiyo noluonge kowacho niya, ‘Wuora Ibrahim kecha kendo or Lazaro olut lith lwete e pi mondo okwena lewa, nikech an-gi rem malit e ligek majni.’
He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
25 “To Ibrahim nodwoke ni, ‘Wuoda, parie ni e ndalo mar ngimani ne iyudo gik mabeyo, ka Lazaro to ne yudo gik maricho, to koroni oneno maber ka eri, to in inie rem malit.
“But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
26 To bende moloyo ne mano duto, e kindwa kodi nitie hoho mangʼongo moseketi, mondo otam jogo madwaro aa ka obi iru kata ngʼato ok nyal ngʼado oa koru obi irwa koni.’
Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
27 “Nodwoko ni, ‘Koro akwayoi, wuora, or Lazaro odhi od wuora,
“He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
28 nimar an-gi owetena abich. Odhiyo osiemgi, mondo kik gin bende gibi e kar sand malitni.’
for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
29 “Ibrahim nodwoke ni, ‘Gin kod Musa gi Jonabi, owinjore giwinjgi.’
“But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
30 “Nowacho ni, ‘Ooyo wuonwa Ibrahim, to ka ngʼato oa kuom joma otho modhi irgi, to gibiro weyo richo.’
“He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
31 “Nowachone ni, ‘Ka ok ginyal winjo Musa gi Jonabi, ok ginyal yie winjo kata ngʼato mochier oa kuom joma otho.’”
“He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
